Chapter 40 Tang San Absorbs the Third Soul Ring

After thinking for a moment, Tang Nian recounted everything about the strange cries of the soul beasts she had heard and her encounter with Shi Ye.

Zhao Wuji asked with some surprise, "How old does that man look?"

Tang Nian tilted her head and thought for a moment, "She looks about twenty years old."

Ma Hongjun exclaimed in surprise, "What? He's already a Title Douluo at twenty, and he even has three 100,000-year spirit rings? Is that even remotely incredible?"

Zhao Wuji thought for a while, then shook his head hesitantly. "I have never heard of this person in the Soul Master world. Someone as powerful as him should be unknown."

After a pause, Zhao Wuji looked up at Tang Nian and said, "You were too careless, Tang Nian. Fortunately, he didn't have any bad intentions and just brought you back. You can't just walk with strangers like that in the future."

Tang Nian choked up. Deep down, she was already over forty. She hadn't really thought of herself as a child back then, but she knew that Zhao Wuji was doing it for her own good. Tang Nian nodded, looking obedient and well-behaved. "I understand, Teacher Zhao. I'll be more careful in the future."

Just then, Tang San's bones began to crackle and pop. The sound wasn't loud, but it was terrifying, as if Tang San's entire body might break at any moment.

Finally, faced with Tang San's unwavering willpower, the energy within his body began to yield, and they began to absorb and transform each other.

Zhao Wuji exclaimed in surprise, "It's done!"

But just when everyone thought the situation was settled, Tang San's clothes suddenly tore apart, and then, under everyone's gaze, spider legs with human faces grew out of Tang San's back.

"Could Tang San turn into a giant spider?" Ma Hongjun couldn't help but ask.

Tang Nian and Xiao Wu, in perfect unison, turned and glared fiercely at Ma Hongjun at the same time.

The latter shrank back in fright.

The Blue Silver Grass suddenly appeared and enveloped Tang San, as if time had frozen, with no movement inside.

One hour, three hours, the sky changed from darkness to light, and then from light back to darkness. For a full twelve hours, Tang San did not make a single move.

Everyone was exhausted, but dared not relax for a moment, and waited on the sidelines.

……

Ghost Shadow followed behind Shi Ye. "Young Master, should we go and teach Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang a lesson? How dare they disrespect you?"

Shi Ye glanced at the ghostly figure with a calm expression. "Ghost, don't do anything unnecessary."

Ghostly replied respectfully, "Yes, young master."

"Yue Guan, go and investigate the Tang siblings. See if they really have no connection with the Haotian Sect."

"Young Master, are you suspicious?" Yue Guan's voice was neither male nor female.

Shi Ye waved his hand, and the two figures disappeared. He held the teddy bear in his arms and walked quietly. He didn't look like he was walking in the dangerous Star Dou Great Forest, but rather as if he was leisurely walking on the main road of the imperial city.

……

Tang San only realized something was wrong with his body after he put on his pants. Eight spider legs with sharp spikes had grown out of his body, and he was stunned.

Tang Nian asked worriedly, "Brother, are you alright? Did this spirit ring mutate?"

Tang San had already put on his clothes and pants. He said, "Let me feel it."

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes. It took him a full half hour to open them again, and his expression was somewhat strange.

"How are you, brother?"

Tang San gave Tang Nian a reassuring smile and said, "It's nothing. I've already obtained a spirit ring after absorbing the Human-Faced Demon Spider's spirit, but I can't explain these eight spider legs."

"Ouch—"

Suddenly, a scream drew everyone's attention. Thinking that a soul beast had arrived, they immediately became alert.

Looking over, they discovered that the one screaming was Ma Hongjun. He was tightly gripping his left hand, which had turned purple and was bleeding black fluid that was rapidly spreading down his arm.

"Ma Hongjun, you've been poisoned! Oscar!" Zhao Wuji roared and quickly appeared behind Ma Hongjun, using his powerful soul force to suppress the poison in his body.

After the detoxifying sausage was fed to Ma Hongjun, it only lasted for a very short time before suddenly spreading upwards again.

"Oh no, there's no antidote for this poisonous sausage! Fatty, how did you get poisoned?"

Ma Hongjun endured immense pain, saying, "I touched Tang San's spider leg out of curiosity and this is what happened. Tang San, your leg is poisonous."

Tang San frowned. "Everyone, get out of the way." With that, he flashed forward, and after his Xuan Yu hand grasped Ma Hongjun's hand, the black liquid flowed into Tang San's palm and then disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, the fat man's arm had returned to normal.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Seeing that the fat man was alright, Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Tang Nian aside, and whispered, "Do you know who that Title Douluo you just mentioned is?"

Tang Nian pondered for a moment and then shook her head. "He only told me his name was Shi Ye, and didn't say anything else."

Did you see anyone following behind him?

Tang Nian frowned; she really hadn't felt anything. "No."

Xiao Wu took a deep breath and whispered, "Not long after you left, Da Ming came out. He said he sensed three very strong humans in the direction you left. Er Ming and I were worried about you, so after I absorbed the soul ring, we went to look for you, but you were nowhere to be found."

"And..." Xiao Wu said seriously, "Someone deliberately concealed your presence. Er Ming couldn't find you at all. In the end, I had no choice but to go back to find Teacher Zhao and the others, hoping to try my luck and see if you were there."

Tang Nian hesitated and shook her head. "I didn't sense any other people's presence. According to what you said, those two must be very powerful. It's normal that I didn't sense them. But Shi Ye is a Title Douluo. Since he didn't sense them either, maybe those two were there to protect him."

Xiao Wu bit her lower lip, hesitatingly asking, "Did Shi Ye mention the Spirit Hall that time?"

"no."

Xiao Wu wanted to say something more, but just then, Zhao Wuji's voice rang out, "Xiao Wu, Tang Nian, let's go back. Let's head towards Shrek Academy!"

If there was an invisible barrier between the eight people before, this life-or-death battle has undoubtedly brought them much closer.

Even Ning Rongrong, who was not recognized by everyone, won everyone's approval through her actions.

Although some time has passed, Zhao Wuji's strength is only fifty percent of what it was before because he used his Martial Soul True Body.

Therefore, everyone was very careful when leaving the Star Dou Great Forest. Not only did each person carry an Oscar mushroom sausage and a recovery sausage, but they also maintained the strongest defensive formation.

As she stepped out of the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu looked back one last time with reluctance.

Tang Nian saw this and grabbed her hand, trying to give her strength.
