The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 85 Tang San and Xia Liang

Tang San never expected to encounter a human-faced demon spider when he was so weak in both physical strength and soul power. Judging from the appearance of this human-faced demon spider, it was clear that it had a cultivation of more than a thousand years.

However, the Purple Demon Eye could clearly see that there were several deep wounds on the lower abdomen of this human-faced demon spider, which should have been caused by a sharp weapon.

Facing a fully-fledged Thousand-Year-Old Man-Faced Demon Spider, Tang San knew he would have no chance, but if it were an injured Man-Faced Demon Spider, things might be different!

If I can kill the human-faced spider in front of me and then absorb the soul ring it forms...

Therefore, it is almost certain that one's physical condition will immediately return to its best.

After obtaining the third spirit ring, his strength will increase, and it will naturally become easier to find Xiao Wu or fight the Titan Giant Ape.

Thinking of this, Tang San unleashed two yellow spirit rings beneath his feet, and a large number of Blue Silver Grass sprouted from the ground around him. In his palm, a Blue Silver Grass spirit that was slightly different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass also appeared.

First Soul Skill, Blue Silver Entanglement. Activated.

As the spirit rings flickered, before the human-faced spider hiding in the shadows could react, countless thick, long blue-silver vines suddenly attacked the human-faced spider and tightly bound its entire body.

Tang San knew that the paralyzing toxin attached to the Blue Silver Grass had no effect on the Human-Faced Demon Spider, and the Blue Silver Entanglement would soon be broken.

After all, the human-faced spider is a highly venomous creature, containing not only neurotoxins but also corrosive toxins. How could it possibly be affected by the paralyzing toxins of the blue silver grass?

The toxins on the human-faced spider were what Tang San wanted to appear on his Blue Silver Grass.

Therefore, he desperately wanted to obtain the spirit ring of this human-faced demon spider. After absorbing the spirit ring, the toxicity of the Blue Silver Grass would definitely become even more potent.

Suddenly entangled by countless blue silver vines, the human-faced spider hiding in the shadows was clearly enraged. A layer of eerie purple light spread from its body, and the blue silver vines wrapped around it were corrupted and dissolved by the deadly poison.

The human-faced spider broke free from the blue silver bindings without any hindrance. Its eight long legs moved rapidly, even creating a series of afterimages. In the blink of an eye, it was already in front of Tang San. Its two front legs frantically stabbed towards Tang San's heart, clearly aiming to kill him with one blow.

Tang San calmly watched the two front legs of the Man-Faced Demon Spider thrust at him. His hands transformed into black jade, and he stepped on the Ghost Shadow Phantom. In a flash, he retreated dozens of meters away. His black jade hands swept across his waist, and dozens of white lights shot out at the same time. Countless hidden weapons were aimed straight at the eyes on the lower abdomen of the Man-Faced Demon Spider.

Three hundred meters away, on a tree branch, Xia Liang used his X-ray vision to observe the battle ahead. Tang San and the Human-Faced Demon Spider were locked in a fierce battle, with both sides attacking and defending, advancing and retreating, making the situation extremely intense.

When Tang San activated the Xuan Yu Hand, the Xuan Tian Gong within his body would automatically operate. The internal force, which was no different from soul power, flowed along the meridians in his body, which was very strange.

At this moment, Xia Liang was not only paying attention to the loss of life force of the human-faced demon spider, but also observing the changes in Tang San's meridians when he circulated the Xuan Tian Gong.

As long as the operating principles of the Xuan Tian Gong are engraved in the soul's memory, one can learn about meridians and internal martial arts techniques by searching the soul.

Learning to develop one's own meridians may help reduce the soul power consumption when using Ossification Susanoo in the future.

Xiao Wu was captured by the Titan Ape, and Tang San faced a desperate situation. Even under these circumstances, Tang Hao didn't intervene. It seems Tang Hao wasn't secretly protecting Tang San.

Xia Liang guessed that Tang Hao had probably already returned to the waterfall cave to be with the Blue Silver Emperor seedling.

If Tang Hao hadn't noticed the missing right leg bone of the Blue Silver Emperor, and instead saw that the Blue Silver Emperor seedling was missing but there were no signs of digging in the ground, would he have assumed that the seedling had awakened its animal instincts and grown legs to run away?

Just as Xia Liang was deep in thought, the battle between Tang San and the Human-Faced Demon Spider seemed to be nearing its end.

Tang San was knocked away by the Man-Faced Demon Spider, suffering severe injuries and rolling several times on the ground before clutching his chest and forcibly standing up.

Fortunately, he used Ghostly Appearance to dodge the fatal attack angle; otherwise, his ribs would have definitely broken from that collision.

The Tang Sect's hidden weapons that Tang San currently possesses are insufficient to kill the Human-Faced Demon Spider. The only option Tang San can think of is to use his second martial soul, the hammer, in the fight.

Tang San rapidly retracted the blue silver vines in his right hand, and his left hand moved. Just as a small black hammer was about to emerge from his left palm, a dark purple light suddenly descended from the sky, landing directly between Tang San and the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

When the dark purple light faded.

Tang San subconsciously withdrew his hammer spirit, and to his surprise, he saw a three-ring Soul Master standing in front of him.

This Soul Lord's body was covered by dark purple ribs, so that his appearance could not be seen by the naked eye.

But Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes could see it clearly.

The three-ring Soul Master who appeared before them not only had a somewhat familiar appearance, but even his Martial Soul form seemed familiar.

"Xia Liang?"

Tang San said these two words almost subconsciously. Although they hadn't interacted much, he had seen this person's handsome face and his withered appearance when they were at Notting Academy.

Although he didn't know why his appearance had been restored, the three-ring Soul Master in front of him, whose ribs were covered in black and purple, was indeed Xia Liang, his former roommate from Dormitory 7 of Notting Academy, who had graduated early.

Looking back at Tang San's surprised gaze, Xia Liang smiled. "Tang San, long time no see. You've grown so tall."

Tang San was about to speak when he clutched his chest due to his severe injuries and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Xia Liang, do you still remember Xiao Wu? She used to be the leader of our dormitory, Dormitory 7. She was kidnapped by the Titan Ape, and I have to go rescue her."

Tang San, using his Mysterious Heaven Skill to support his injured body, forced himself to speak, "You're a three-ring Soul Master, you should be able to handle this Human-Faced Demon Spider, right? Please, help me hunt it down. I want to absorb its Soul Ring. With this Soul Ring, my Soul Power will break through level 30 and return to full strength, giving me a better chance of rescuing Xiao Wu!"

Xia Liang glanced at the menacing human-faced demon spider in the distance before turning his gaze back to Tang San.

"Please, I'm begging you. Help me!" Tang San pleaded.

Xia Liang took out a large chicken leg from somewhere and threw it at Tang San.

Tang San took the big chicken leg, looking completely bewildered.

"This is food made by a chicken leg soul master. Eating it can speed up the healing of injuries and also improve the recovery speed of soul power and physical strength."

After listening to Xia Liang's explanation, Tang San took a bite of the chicken leg in his hand without hesitation. He himself had a food-type soul master partner, so he had no doubt about the restorative effect of food-type soul skills.

"This human-faced demon spider has two thousand years of cultivation, which exceeds the limit for absorbing the third spirit ring proposed by the Grandmaster. Tang San, you'd better not risk absorbing it."

Xia Liang looked at the human-faced demon spider in front of him and said solemnly, "I am only a defensive-type Soul Master, so it's difficult for me to help you hunt it down, but I will try to hold it off. Once your body and soul power have recovered, hurry up and go save Xiao Wu. Don't worry about me."

Having not spent much time together before, Tang San only knew that Xia Liang had always been a deep and scheming person. But now, facing danger, he realized he had misjudged him.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Tang San bowed to Xia Liang at a 45-degree angle before taking a detour and heading in the direction where the Titan Giant Ape had disappeared.

The human-faced spider tried to stop them, but was suppressed in place by Xia Liang's soul power and was unable to move for a while.
