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

Chapter 93 Shrek Seven Devils

After reciting the soul incantation, Oscar used all his soul power to create his first soul skill, the Healing Sausage.

Xia Liang took the sausage and stuffed it into his mouth, recovering some of the soul power he had lost.

He didn't activate any soul skills, nor did any soul rings appear; he simply released the Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul.

A four-meter-wide, dark purple enclosed rib cage completely covered him, and Tang San and Oscar, who were standing nearby, were also encased inside.

The others instinctively retreated quickly, moving away from the shadow of the massive ribs.

"Come in, all of you."

Hearing Xia Liang's reminder.

Zhao Wuji was the first to rush into the doorway opened by the huge ribs, followed by Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and others.

Just as the rib gate closed, the horde of soul beasts charged towards them. Amidst the billowing dust, trees were constantly being knocked down, and the endless horde of soul beasts was charging forward.

Seeing that they were about to be overwhelmed by the horde of soul beasts, everyone hiding inside the giant ribs instinctively closed their eyes.

But when the horde of soul beasts passed by, they found that they had not been trampled to death.

Among the charging horde of soul beasts, some were thrown back by crashing into the massive ribs, while others were slapped aside by the giant skeletal hands that grew from the ribs, thus avoiding impact to the ribs.

Zhao Wuji examined the inside of the massive ribcage and the skeletal arm waving in the air on the right side, and couldn't help but ask, "Is this your martial spirit?"

Xia Liang nodded without replying.

"He's a defensive-type Soul Master." Tang San glanced at Xia Liang. "I remember Teacher saying that his Skeleton Martial Soul is actually a benign mutation. Although it's an incomplete weapon Martial Soul, its rib defense is no less than any complete defensive-type weapon Martial Soul. However, it seems that your Skeleton Martial Soul didn't have the right-hand bone part before, right?"

Xia Liang controlled the giant skeletal hand to clear the way for the onrushing horde of soul beasts, ignoring Tang San's question.

Ning Rongrong, standing to the side, noticed a change in her gaze as she looked at Xia Liang. She realized that this skeleton soul master's rib defense was similar to that of her own bone grandfather; it could not only defend but also launch attacks to a certain extent.

Moreover, this person only uses the arm bones of their martial soul to slap away powerful soul beasts, while leaving weak soul beasts unattended, presumably because even if a weak soul beast crashes into a huge rib, it won't break the rib.

Ning Rongrong was puzzled as to how this skeleton soul master could make such an accurate and quick judgment about the specific cultivation level of a group of soul beasts, even her own father could not do it.

Suddenly, Tang San noticed the figure of a human-faced demon spider passing by the giant rib. He manipulated a large amount of blue silver grass to form vines that wrapped around the human-faced demon spider's body and limbs, rendering it unable to move.

About half an hour later.

The herd of spirit beasts that had been running wildly into the depths of the forest finally disappeared into the distance.

Only after the surrounding smoke and dust cleared and visibility returned did Xia Liang retract the protection of the massive ribs.

Everyone seemed to forget to breathe, and only when they realized that no more soul beasts were passing by did they let out a long sigh of relief.

Zhao Wuji glanced at Xia Liang. Just now, he had been inside the giant rib, watching countless soul beasts pass by.

Having withstood so many impacts from different soul beasts, I thought the huge ribs would shatter, but they didn't.

Moreover, the massive ribs appeared to be completely undamaged.

To Zhao Wuji's surprise, Xia Liang, the skeleton soul master, never revealed his soul rings, indicating that he had relied entirely on his martial soul's own defense to withstand the soul beast's attacks.

This level of defense is practically invincible among Soul Masters of the same rank, right?

Noticing the look of surprise in Zhao Wuji's eyes, Tang San immediately realized something. This Teacher Zhao was known as the Immovable King.

Even the Immovable King was moved by it, which shows how amazing the rib defense is.

However, Tang San didn't care about these things. The human-faced demon spider that he had just wrapped with blue silver vines was trampled by a soul beast and was already on the verge of death. He had to kill it with his own hands in order to absorb the soul ring.

Tang San took out the Zhuge Crossbow from the soul tool in his belt and quickly shot down the human-faced demon spider in the distance.

It's easier to deal with than the human-faced demon spiders we encountered before; we can be sure its cultivation level is no more than two thousand years.

Approaching the corpse of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, Tang San carefully observed its physical characteristics with his Purple Demon Eye, finally confirming that it was a Human-Faced Demon Spider with a cultivation level of around 1,300 years, which was just close to the third soul ring absorption limit mentioned by his teacher.

"Teacher Zhao, can we stay here for a while?" Tang San suddenly asked Zhao Wuji. "I want to absorb my third spirit ring now."

"Tang San, are you crazy?" Ning Rongrong asked, still shaken. "We were almost trampled to death by the horde of spirit beasts just now. How dare you still absorb spirit rings here?"

"The commotion is minimal right now; the spirit beast herd has probably already fled far away. Even if a few individual spirit beasts do arrive, we should be able to handle them."

As he spoke, Tang San took out several Zhuge Crossbows from his belt's soul tool and looked at everyone, saying, "Don't worry, everyone. I won't let you risk your lives for me. You've all seen the power of these Zhuge Crossbows. They're enough to kill a Soul Master. If any soul beasts come here, we can use them to defend ourselves. Teacher Zhao, what do you think?"

Zhao Wuji thought for a moment before glancing at everyone.

He only nodded in agreement after everyone had received a Zhuge Crossbow from Tang San.

Xia Liang maintained a neutral stance on this matter. Tang San insisted on absorbing the spirit ring in such a dangerous environment; if something happened, it would be Tang San's death, and it would have nothing to do with Xia Liang.

Including Zhao Wuji, the Shrek Academy members formed a circle, protecting Tang San inside.

Tang San sat cross-legged on the ground, released his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and began to guide the purple thousand-year soul ring from the corpse of the Human-Faced Demon Spider into his body.

Xia Liang remembered that the original novel said that breaking through the bottleneck of soul power level meant that the Xuan Tian Gong had broken through to a higher level.

Since he currently has no cultivation techniques to rely on, he can take this opportunity to use his X-ray vision to observe the circulation of Tang San's Xuan Tian Gong in his meridians when Tang San is absorbing the soul ring.

Learning new things and broadening one's horizons makes the trip worthwhile.

Seeing that there were no more soul beasts threatening him, Ning Rongrong suddenly walked up to Xia Liang and asked, "Your name is Xia Liang, right? I heard from Tang San that your Skeleton Martial Soul is incomplete, only having the rib section, but it seems like it was able to grow arm bones just now, so it looks like there's a possibility of repair. How about joining our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Our sect's resources might be able to make your Martial Soul more complete."

Xia Liang smiled politely, "Thank you for the invitation, but I currently have no intention of joining a sect."

"No rush, let's talk about it when you have an idea. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School welcomes any defensive-type Soul Master to join us." After saying that, Ning Rongrong winked at Xia Liang with her right eye.

Xia Liang smiled and nodded in a gesture of goodwill.

He currently has no intention of joining a sect, but in the future, hunting the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as a soul ring will not be possible with Dugu Bo alone.

Therefore, the assistance of multiple titled Douluo is needed.

If they fail to get to know Qian Renxue and gain the help of those titled Douluo from the Hall of Offerings, then relying on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would undoubtedly be a good choice.

Making a deal between Dugu Bo and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, asking Sword Douluo to join forces in hunting down the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, would increase the success rate.
