Ning Rongrong scratched her head and cried out, “Why?!
Why did I end up at a school like this?”
“Tang San is unreliable, and his teacher is no better.
Xiao Wu is a transformed soul beast.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun frequent brothels.
Zhao Wuji is a wanted fugitive of Spirit Hall.
Flander is greedy and utterly incompetent at teaching.
Looking at it this way, there isn’t a single decent person among them!”
“Am I, Ning Rongrong, really out of my mind?
How could a dignified young lady like me skip a prestigious academy like Heaven Dou Royal Academy and instead enroll in such a trashy, unreliable place?”
Smack!
Ning Rongrong slapped herself hard.
In that moment, she realized Xu Fan had been absolutely right—she really had been foolish.
“Hah… Luckily, I won’t be that stupid anymore.
From now on, I’ll deal with this garbage academy properly!”
Star Luo Empire — Zhu Residence
A woman stood there, her figure just as voluptuous as Zhu Zhuqing’s, their facial features strikingly similar.
It was none other than Zhu Zhuqing’s elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun.
“Interesting,” Zhu Zhuyun said softly, a trace of envy flashing through her eyes.
“It seems Dai Mubai no longer has any chance, and now his former fiancée is already by Xu Fan’s side.”
“It looks like I should find an opportunity to leave as well.
I don’t want to keep wasting time training Spirit Fusion Techniques with Davis.”
After observing for so long, Zhu Zhuyun had long understood that following Xu Fan was the only path to a future—perhaps even a chance at godhood.
Even if Dai Mubai was gone, the Dai family might still harbor resentment toward the Zhu family.
However, the fusion martial soul shared by the two families was the Zhu family’s shield.
Moreover, they were direct descendants of the Zhu family.
At worst, the Dai family might give them a warning—but they wouldn’t dare cause real harm.
“I’ll find a time to leave.”
[Among everyone who benefited from this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang San gained the most.]
[Not only did he obtain a third spirit ring that exceeded the normal limit—something that would have been trivial for me, but nearly fatal for him—but that wasn’t even the most important part.]
[The most crucial gain was the external soul bone he obtained from the Human-Faced Demon Spider: the Eight Spider Lances.]
[These Eight Spider Lances are quite useful.
While they’re far inferior to my Martial God Wings, they are still an external soul bone.]
[Their primary effect is absorption.
After I killed Tang San in the future, I gave the Eight Spider Lances to Dong’er.
Her martial soul is spider-based, making this external soul bone a perfect match—though all those spider legs are a bit unsettling.
[Sigh… I really miss the Martial God Wings.
My martial soul is special—any soul bone I absorb becomes an exclusive soul bone of my Martial God Body.
For example, the Martial God Wings were formed after I absorbed the external soul bone of a flying spirit beast.]
[Even Ah Yin’s right leg bone is now considered part of my Martial God Body’s right leg.
Both of its original soul skills were converted into soul bone skills perfectly suited to me.
I truly miss the Martial God Wings—mainly because they looked so cool.]
[If the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well weren’t so important, I would’ve gone after the Eight Spider Lances myself.
Unfortunately, the Star Dou Great Forest is far too vast—it would be nearly impossible to locate them.
Forget it.
Tang San will obtain them anyway, and I can always take them later by killing him.]
[If I remember correctly, Tang San encountered the Human-Faced Demon Spider while chasing the Titan Giant Ape.
That was when the Titan Giant Ape emerged from the forest and abducted Xiao Wu.
Tang San chased after it, yet still had time to absorb spirit rings and soul bones along the way.
Wasn’t he afraid Xiao Wu would be killed?]
[This just proves that Tang San never truly loved Xiao Wu.
She was nothing more than a tool to him—just like his father, Tang Hao.
Xiao Wu’s sacrifice for Tang San later on is painfully familiar.]
[Both the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python are Xiao Wu’s younger brothers.
Xiao Wu’s mother once saved them, which is why they share such a close bond with her.
The Titan Giant Ape came to take Xiao Wu away so she could condense her spirit rings safely.]
Spirit Hall
Bibi Dong suddenly rose to her feet.
“Eight Spider Lances… an external soul bone.
At last, a treasure truly suited for me.” A faint smile curved her lips.
She already possessed a complete set of soul bones, including an external one.
But external soul bones were never too many.
Whether wings or spider lances, even if they conflicted, the soul bones would naturally adapt and relocate to the most suitable position.
“Teacher, that’s wonderful!
You’ll gain another soul bone!” Hu Liena said happily.
“Your Holiness, when shall we depart?” Ling Yuan asked.
Bibi Dong paused briefly before replying, “Tomorrow.
We’ll leave early—before Tang San.
There aren’t many Human-Faced Demon Spiders in the Star Dou Great Forest.
“Hehe, Teacher, if Xu Fan sees the eight spider lances on your back, won’t he be completely stunned?” Hu Liena teased.
“Too noisy.”
Heaven Dou City
Qian Renxue frowned slightly.
“Eight Spider Lances… It seems this soul bone will most likely fall into Bibi Dong’s hands.
That Xu Fan is truly infuriating—he knows about an external soul bone and still doesn’t bother to take it.”
“But this Martial God Body is absurdly powerful.
It has countless abilities and can even reshape soul bones to perfectly suit itself.
It’s practically heaven-defying.”
“If he ever completes a full set, it might surpass even my Angel Soul Bones.”
“As for Tang San… Hmph.
Trash.”
Meng Yiran swallowed lightly.
“Could I absorb the Eight Spider Lances?”
The temptation was undeniable.
External soul bones were one-in-a-million treasures.
Across the entire Douluo Continent, their number could likely be counted on one hand.
“But… I don’t think I have the ability.
My grandparents wouldn’t believe me, let alone hunt a Human-Faced Demon Spider,” Meng Yiran said dejectedly.
Knowing the whereabouts of an external soul bone yet being unable to obtain it—it would have been better not to know at all.
Inside Xu Fan’s soul tool, Ah Yin watched Tang San abandon the pursuit of Xiao Wu in favor of spirit rings and soul bones.
She felt numb.
After learning everything about Tang San and Tang Hao, Ah Yin had lost all hope—at least regarding them.
From that moment on, she never wanted to see either of them again.
Moreover, Xu Fan was about to revive her.
After that, she would no longer be Ah Yin.
It would start with a new name.
[Although the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python are regarded by Soul Masters as the two supreme overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest, they are merely gatekeepers among truly powerful soul beasts.]
[Deep within the forest exist many ferocious beasts—each with cultivation exceeding two hundred thousand years.]
[Sigh… When we first met, we even fought.
I had to defeat six or seven of those ferocious beasts before we could finally sit down and talk properly.]
[I wonder when I’ll see Zi Ji, Bi Ji, Xue Di, Bing Di, Gu Yue Na, and that little auspicious beast again.]
[I’ll probably need to reach at least the level of a Title Douluo before going there.
Otherwise, getting killed wouldn’t be very pleasant.]
