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

Chapter 95 Tang San Absorbs a Thousand-Year Soul Bone

Tang San patted Xiao Wu's head, and after thinking for a moment, he said firmly, "Alright. Then I'll trouble everyone to protect me again."

As he spoke, he sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the soul bone.

As Xia Liang watched the skeleton of the human-faced demon spider merge into a spot in Tang San's chest, he thought to himself that those who had advised Tang San to absorb the soul bone would probably all have their own ways of dying in the future.

In the original story, Tang San's torso bone was obtained from the million-year-old soul beast, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Now, however, he is absorbing a 1,300-year-old human-faced demon spider torso bone, which is undoubtedly cutting off his future.

The torso bone is one of the six major soul bones and does not have the potential for growth.

In other words, after absorbing the torso bones of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, Tang San's torso bones will only be limited to 1,300 years for his entire life.

Furthermore, the human-faced demon spider's torso bones are imbued with poison, while Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul is life-attribute. The attributes of martial souls and soul bones are completely opposite, which will greatly weaken the power of the soul bone.

If things go wrong, the poison from the soul bone might invade the bone marrow, causing a situation similar to the backlash from the venom of the Dugu Bo snake.

If the Eight Spider Lances, the external soul bone of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, was Tang San's opportunity, then this piece of the Human-Faced Demon Spider's torso bone was definitely a source of trouble for Tang San.

The fact that Tang San was able to obtain a rare torso bone from a thousand-year-old soul beast shows that he still has the blessing of luck.

Unfortunately, because the torso bones and external soul bones are different, if Tang San were to absorb them, it would be tantamount to being toyed with by fate.

After half an hour.

Tang San successfully absorbed the soul bone.

Using his X-ray vision, Xia Liang could see that the fusion rate between Tang San's soul bone and his physical bones was 100%, confirming that Tang San had indeed absorbed a 1,300-year-old human-faced demon spider torso bone.

Because it's impossible for external soul bones to have such a high fusion rate with the body, even now, his own bone dragon's external left palm bone has not yet fully fused successfully.

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Tang San opened his eyes and stood up. Xiao Wu was the first to run to his side, asking with concern, "Brother, how are you feeling? Is there anything wrong with your body?"

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu with affection and shook his head.

"Little San, you've really reaped a great harvest this time," Oscar teased with a hint of envy. "Everyone came out to help me hunt spirit beasts, so how come you've become the biggest beneficiary?"

"But congratulations nonetheless, brother! You're not only a Soul Master now, but a Soul Master with a Soul Bone!"

Upon hearing Oscar's congratulations, Tang San smiled slightly. "Little Oscar, you helped me a lot when I was searching for Xiao Wu. I haven't thanked you yet. As a reward, the Zhuge Crossbow in your possession will be yours from now on."

"Really?" Oscar looked at the Zhuge Crossbow in his hand with surprise, then made a kissing gesture towards Tang San. "Little San, I love you to death!"

"Uncle Sausage, aren't you disgusting?" Xiao Wu asked Tang San with a look of disgust.

Watching the little monsters frolicking, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but chuckle. "Little Three, let us see what your human-faced spider skeleton actually looks like."

Tang San glanced at Xia Liang warily, and after thinking for a moment, nodded.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he took off his shirt, revealing his tanned upper body.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing subconsciously turned their heads away and quickly looked away.

"Third Brother, what are you doing?" Ma Hongjun grinned lewdly.

"Fatty, what are you thinking about?" Tang San retorted, then concentrated his soul power and released the human-faced demon spider's torso bones.

A bone-like structure, composed of segments of dark purple barbs, appeared in the center of his bare chest.

"Is this the torso bone?" Dai Mubai asked curiously. "Little San, what abilities does this soul bone have? It's not infused with the deadly venom of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, is it?"

Tang San smiled mysteriously, "It's a secret."

Seemingly understanding the meaning, Dai Mubai stopped asking questions.

After retrieving the human-faced demon spider's torso bone back into his body, Tang San smiled inwardly. This soul bone did indeed contain the human-faced demon spider's deadly poison.

However, this potent poison acts on the silk-spinning part.

To be precise, the soul bone skill attached to the torso bone of the Human-Faced Demon Spider is the Spider Web Binding, which the Human-Faced Demon Spider is proud of.

The spider web, formed from the bones of the torso, can be shot out of the mouth through the throat at an extremely fast speed. Each strand of the web is not only extremely sticky but also incredibly tough, and it is also coated with a terrifying neurotoxin.

If used in conjunction with the third soul skill, Blue Silver Spider Web Binding, it will greatly enhance one's control.

At first, Tang San was very worried when he absorbed the soul bone, but now that he knows the skills that come with it, he is almost certain that his teacher will be pleasantly surprised.

"Yes, not bad. Very good. Although we encountered a lot of trouble and went through several dangers this time, we still made it through in the end."

Zhao Wuji looked at Tang San and the others with a smile, his mood greatly relaxed. He smiled and said, "Oscar, Tang San, you two have successfully obtained your spirit rings and advanced to Spirit Master. Your gains have been quite good. It's time to head back. Let's set off for Shrek Academy!"

Just as the Shrek students were nodding in agreement, a sudden voice rang out, "Stop!"

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw two elderly people and a young woman emerging from the bushes behind them.

Upon seeing the two old men, Zhao Wuji's expression immediately turned solemn. He had seen the woman among them before when he helped Oscar hunt the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent. She was one of the Peerless Dragon and Serpent Couple, Snake Granny Chaotianxiang.

The old man following Chaotianxiang must be her husband, Longgong Mengshu.

Not only the Shrek Seven Devils, but Xia Liang also knew the Dragon King and Snake Queen, as well as the girl who was with the two old men. The girl was Meng Yiran, the granddaughter of the two old men.

I had met these three people once before when I was helping my employer find soul beasts with the Speedy Mercenary Group.

However, the other party probably doesn't remember him.

To Xia Liang's surprise, Meng Yiran, who was walking towards him, had her gaze fixed on him from the very beginning.

There was no hostility in that gaze; rather, it was like the look in the eyes of the female students at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy when they saw that his appearance had been restored.

To avoid attracting too much attention, Xia Liang lowered his head and avoided looking at Meng Yiran.

But Meng Yiran thought he was just shy and couldn't help but smile with amusement.

Seeing the eight spirit rings flashing on the body of the Dragon Lord Meng Shu who walked up to him, Zhao Wuji suddenly became polite and cupped his hands, saying, "This is Senior Dragon Lord, I, Zhao Wuji, have long admired you."

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Meng Shu glanced at Zhao Wuji and said, "Immovable King, no need to be polite. You've certainly taught a good group of disciples. Are you bullying our Meng family because we have no one to rely on? The Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent is one thing, but your disciples killed my granddaughter's prey, the Human-faced Demon Spider. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

If there's no update by 8 PM tonight, then it won't be until tomorrow.
