Douluo Continent: I am a biologist, and I have awakened a weapon spirit?

However, if it is a human-faced spider, then it is quite interesting. Could it be that Xiao San is destined to meet it?

A few seconds later, Zhu Zhuqing appeared before everyone. She nodded to Chen Feng and said:

"You're right, Xiao Feng, it is indeed a human-faced demon spider, and it's heading in our direction."

Chen Feng's expression was somewhat strange, and Zhao Wuji looked at him and asked:

"Chen Feng, do you need a spirit ring from this kind of spirit beast?"

Chen Feng shook his head, and Zhao Wuji then said:

"In that case, let's get rid of it."

"Teacher Zhao, could you please help me catch it?" Tang San asked at this moment.

"What do you want to do?" Zhao Wuji asked suspiciously.

"I want to collect some of its venom," Tang San said.

Chapter 101 Breakthrough

Poisoning is an essential ingredient in concealed weapons.

However, over the years, Tang San has had little opportunity to collect poisons.

Therefore, none of the hidden weapons he used to help Chen Feng comprehend swordsmanship were poisoned.

Now that he has encountered the highly venomous Human-Faced Demon Spider, Tang San naturally doesn't want to miss the opportunity.

"You actually have this kind of hobby? Alright, it's not that difficult." Zhao Wuji agreed to Tang San's request.

Just then, a rustling sound came from ahead; it was the sound of the human-faced demon spider moving quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a large spider covered in black armor appeared before everyone.

As soon as the Human-Faced Demon Spider appeared, Zhao Wuji's third, fourth, and fifth spirit rings lit up.

The human-faced spider's movement speed suddenly slowed down a lot. Without hesitation, Zhao Wuji jumped up to the human-faced spider's side and slapped it to the ground.

First, it was affected by the increased gravity, and then it was subjected to the gravity compression of Zhao Wuji's fifth soul skill.

The human-faced spider was immediately pinned to the ground by Zhao Wuji, its eight legs flailing wildly.

Without saying a word, Zhao Wuji punched the human-faced spider in the head, knocking it unconscious.

Having gone with Flander to collect dragon blood many times, this was something he had become quite adept at.

Upon seeing this, everyone felt a chill and withdrew their martial spirits.

They knew Zhao Wuji had definitely gone easy on them on the day of the assessment, but now it seemed that it wasn't just going easy on them, it was practically giving them the free rein.

If Zhao Wuji had used this combination of techniques that day, he probably could have easily taken care of all the examinees in no time.

Zhao Wuji was quite pleased with himself after showing off, as he was still very concerned about his previous failure in the assessment.

Because he didn't accurately grasp the strength of a Foundation Establishment era Soul Master, he used five Soul Skills, including a ten-thousand-year Soul Skill, but in the end, he was still a little short of time, which made him very unhappy.

Feeling the students' surprised yet respectful gazes, Zhao Wuji felt as refreshed as if he had drunk ice water on a hot day.

He maintained a reserved expression and nodded to Tang San.

"Come and collect the venom."

Just as Tang San was about to step forward, a melodious female voice rang out.

"Stop! This is my prey."

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw two figures walking out of the woods.

One of the figures was an elderly woman with a full head of white hair, while the other was a beautiful girl with short blue-gray hair.

The girl had some blue eyeshadow and purple lip gloss, and her well-developed figure was wrapped in a neat outfit. She was wearing gloves made of some kind of leather.

She possessed a more mature demeanor than the four Shrek girls, and her beautiful appearance attracted the attention of the boys.

Oscar, in particular, stared intently at the girl who had suddenly appeared.

Chen Feng stared at Meng Yiran, somewhat lost in thought, but he wasn't focused on her appearance; rather, he was surprised by the spirit rings on her body.

Those were three spirit rings, two yellow and one purple, indicating that Meng Yiran was already a Spirit Master.

She's already a Soul Master? But if she's already a Soul Master, why is she still chasing after the Faceless Spider? Chen Feng was puzzled.

Just as he was looking at Meng Yiran, lost in thought, he suddenly felt a pain in his lower back.

Chen Feng turned his head and saw Ning Rongrong glaring at him angrily.

Is it pretty?

"She's beautiful... no, I wasn't looking at her." Chen Feng responded subconsciously, but quickly realized his mistake and changed his words.

"Then what are you looking at?" Ning Rongrong looked at him with suspicion.

"I'm looking at her, uh, spirit rings," Chen Feng answered honestly.

"Hahaha..." Dai Mubai, who was standing in front of Chen Feng, couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard the conversation behind him.

"What are you laughing at?" Meng Yiran didn't hear Chen Feng and Ning Rongrong's conversation and thought Dai Mubai was laughing at her, so she asked angrily.

"Uh, I just remembered something happy, I wasn't laughing at you," Dai Mubai waved his hand and explained.

Meng Yiran frowned. She still felt that Dai Mubai was laughing at her for stealing her prey, so she pointed at the human-faced demon spider and said:

“This prey was originally mine. If you don’t believe me, look at its belly. There are wounds inflicted by my grandmother there.”

Zhao Wuji turned the human-faced spider over with some skepticism and found several fresh wounds on its abdomen, which were clearly inflicted not long ago.

Zhao Wuji glanced at the old woman beside Meng Yiran, his gaze falling on the snake staff in her hand, and asked:

"May I ask if you are the Snake Granny from the Peerless Dragon and Snake Sect?"

"I dare not accept the title of senior. I am Chaotianxiang. Snake Granny is a title bestowed upon me by my friends in the Soul Master world. I have yet to ask for the esteemed name of this Soul Saint," the old woman said with a slight smile.

"My name is Zhao Wuji." Zhao Wuji calmly introduced himself. He felt that this matter was not difficult to resolve, so he felt no pressure.

“Senior Snake Granny, you probably want to use this human-faced spider as your granddaughter’s soul ring, right? Then we don’t really have any conflict, because my student just wants to get some of the human-faced spider’s venom.”

Chen Feng looked towards Meng Yiran, wanting to see how they would respond.

He didn't quite believe that Meng Yiran was already level 40 at this point, since she was only level 30 at this time in the original story, and even with cheat codes, she wouldn't be this level.

Unless he ate some kind of magical herb, Dugu Bo has only been missing for less than two years, so he still has some deterrent power.

Secondly, Dugu Bobu's poison array in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is still terrifying, and Chen Feng doesn't believe anyone can break into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Even if you manage to get in, eating anything inside will kill you.

Sure enough, Chaotianxiang shook her head and said:

"Immovable King, you misunderstand. My granddaughter is not yet level 40, and it is not time for her to hunt for a soul ring. What she wants is the venom of the Human-Faced Demon Spider."

"Hiss~" Zhao Wuji's face stiffened.

When both sides share the same goal, things become complicated.

At this moment, Tang San spoke up:

"May I ask, young lady, what do you need the venom for? I don't need much. If possible, could you share some with me?"

“No.” Meng Yiran shook her head. “I want all the venom.”

Tang San frowned, while Xiao Wu immediately launched into a tirade:

"Hey! Aren't you being a bit too domineering? Even though you were the ones who discovered the human-faced spider first, we were the ones who caught it. Now we're asking you for a single drop of venom and you won't even give us one? How can you do this?"

“That’s right, that’s right. If it weren’t for us, you might not even be able to catch the Man-Faced Demon Spider,” Oscar chimed in.

Although the girl's appearance was somewhat attractive to him, Xiao Wu had given him the ring as a token of her kindness, so he naturally had to help her.

Even setting aside the storage soul tool, as a classmate, he has an obligation to help.

Others echoed this sentiment, feeling that the grandfather and grandson were not behaving properly.

Meng Yiran was so angry that her face turned red, but Chao Tianxiang calmly patted her shoulder to calm her down.

Zhao Wuji, with one foot planted on the unconscious human-faced demon spider, shrugged and said:

"Sister Chao, what my students are saying makes sense. No matter what, we're the ones who caught the Human-Faced Demon Spider. It's not right for you to keep it all for yourselves, is it?"

Chaotianxiang sighed and said:

"Acala, you may not know this, but it's not that we don't want to give up some of the venom, it's just that we can't."

"Tch! I don't believe it at all," Xiao Wu said, rolling her eyes.

"Oh? Then I'd like to hear Sister Chao's reasoning." Zhao Wuji was actually somewhat skeptical.

However, he knew very well that he couldn't afford to offend this snake woman, because the dragon and snake were always inseparable, and the dragon was probably somewhere nearby, so taking action was definitely out of the question.

Chao Tianxiang had no intention of making a move. She knew she was no match for Zhao Wuji, so she could only try to reason with him.

She pointed to the spirit ring on Meng Yiran's body and said:

"Everyone should know about Master Chenfeng's Foundation Establishment Method, right? The reason my granddaughter wants the venom of the Human-Faced Demon Spider is because she needs the Foundation Establishment Ring."

“The poisonous soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest are very cunning. We finally found a human-faced demon spider, which is related to my granddaughter’s cultivation. We really can’t let go of even a drop of its venom.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San's eyes changed, but he restrained himself from turning around and his expression did not change significantly.

Xiao Wu then asked directly:

"Isn't your granddaughter a weapon spirit? How could she obtain the Foundation Establishment Ring?"

"Hmph! You don't understand, do you? Although my snake staff is indeed a weapon spirit, it has the characteristic of being alive, which is why I was able to obtain the Foundation Establishment Ring." Meng Yiran proudly waved the snake staff in her hand.

However, she didn't succeed in obtaining the Foundation Establishment Ring on her first try. She failed when she got her second spirit ring and only succeeded on her third. But there's no need to mention that.

At this moment, Chen Feng felt his heart pounding. He had been searching for a breakthrough in his research on weapon spirits.

And now, we may have found the breakthrough!

Tang San was also very excited at this moment. He knew very well what difficulties Chen Feng was facing, and the fact that the girl in front of him had successfully obtained the Foundation Establishment Ring might bring a breakthrough to Chen Feng's research.

"I don't want the venom from the Human-Faced Demon Spider, you can take it," Tang San said without hesitation.

Xiao Wu, who was standing nearby, remained silent, but Zhao Wuji asked with some surprise:

"you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sorry, Teacher Zhao, I've made you waste your time."

"Why are you saying this?" Zhao Wuji didn't quite understand why Tang San and Xiao Wu had changed their attitude, but he still grabbed the human-faced demon spider at his feet and threw it at the grandfather and grandson opposite him.

With a light tap of her Heavenly Incense Serpent Staff, she caught the Human-Faced Demon Spider and looked at Zhao Wuji with some surprise. She hadn't expected the infamous Immovable King to be so easy to talk to this time.

She nodded and said:

"I will remember Fudo Myo-o's kindness this time. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know."

"Could you show us how your granddaughter uses the Foundation Building Ring?" Tang San asked at this moment.

Chao Tianxiang thought about it for a moment and decided it wasn't a big deal, so she said to Meng Yiran:

"Then you might as well just stay here and absorb the venom, so you don't have to carry this giant spider around."

"Yes, Grandma." Meng Yiran came to the side of the unconscious human-faced spider and turned the snake staff in her hand upside down to stab it into the gap of the human-faced spider's carapace.

This is where the venom sac of the human-faced spider is located.

After the serpent staff pierced the human-faced spider, the snake head on the staff immediately came to life and began to swallow.

This scene astonished everyone at Shrek Academy.

“This snake staff is actually alive. I never realized that before,” Zhao Wuji said, moving closer.

Chen Feng activated his Purple Demon Eye, observing every detail on Meng Yiran's serpent staff, and an idea gradually emerged in his mind.

Since this serpent staff can come to life, could it have a soul? And how can he verify this conjecture?

As a biologist from Earth, the soul was something he had never encountered before. All his understanding of the soul came from the fantasy works he had read in his previous life.

But the question is... are those fantasy settings really plausible?

Before Chen Feng's journey, the existence of the soul had never been verified. It was generally considered to be something supernatural, leaning more towards a complex philosophical and religious concept.

Even the claim that "a person's weight decreases by 21 grams after death" is not enough to prove the existence of the soul, because that could be caused by the release of energy after cell apoptosis.
