Chapter 291: Tang San Hunts the Human-Faced Demon Spider Again (Part 1)
Tang Hao's guilt lasted only a moment before he became resolute again.
His son had twin Martial Souls and was destined to become the strongest on the continent.
One day, his son would be like his grandfather Tang Chen, defeating everyone—Spirit Hall members, Dugu Feng, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo—all would be his defeated enemies.
But Dugu Feng was truly talented, strong in battle and cultivating at an unprecedented speed; he would definitely be a worthy opponent for his son.
If there were further chances to delay Dugu Feng's cultivation, Tang Hao would keep misleading him.
"Brother Tang, what Martial Soul do you plan to absorb?" Dugu Feng asked.
Tang San's gaze hardened briefly, and he calmly said, "I still intend to absorb the Human-Faced Demon Spider soul beast. My soul ring Blue Silver Grass has the strongest adaptability and vitality. The third and fourth soul skills absorbed from the Human-Faced Demon Spider are very powerful; it is the most suitable soul beast for me!"
Dugu Feng thought to himself, "You just want external spirit bones again!"
But Tang San was truly fooled.
The essence of Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul is life attribute.
Even after sacrificing the Blue Silver Emperor to become a seed, it could regrow—this is the essence of life attribute, like wildfire that cannot be burned out, and spring wind that revives it again.
Yet Tang San pursued momentary attack power, developing Blue Silver Emperor fully into poison attribute.
According to Dugu Feng's cultivation experience, developing the Martial Soul's essence to the utmost helps break through realms and lowers bottlenecks.
Like the Four Elemental Academies, and his poison.
Though cultivating like Tang San might show no difference now, and may even be strong in combat.
But once he reaches Soul Saint level and manifests his true Martial Soul form, insufficient understanding of life attribute will slow his cultivation.
Yu Xiaogang, despite his master status, was a bit of a minor player!
Dugu Feng thought this but wouldn't remind him.
He secretly hoped Tang San would cultivate slower!
"Brother Tang, I have also heard from Rongrong about your situation. Evil Soul Masters are indeed detestable, but twice having external spirit bones shows the Human-Faced Demon Spider's compatibility with your Martial Soul.
This time we will give it our all. Any evil Soul Master who appears will find no way back!"
Dugu Feng's tone was firm.
Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's eyes also sparked. They eagerly awaited the evil Soul Master's appearance!
With Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi present, their cooperation could battle a level ninety-eight Title Douluo.
The deterrence was obvious.
Amid this anticipation, they waited a while longer.
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo arrived, joined by Dream Divine Machine.
Dream Divine Machine's Martial Soul was the Black Demon—a miraculous control attribute.
His most impressive soul skill was the endlessly looping dream.
When Tang San absorbed the soul ring, he would be surrounded by Dream Divine Machine's controlled environment.
In this state, any enemy's presence would be affected.
No matter how fast they were, illusions would confuse all who sensed them.
No one could escape.
With Dream Divine Machine, failure was impossible.
Dugu Feng smiled inwardly watching the scene.
It was truly a life-or-death moment!
Had he been too harsh before? He silently repented for a second.
Once Ning Fengzhi and others arrived, all gathered and headed north in Tiandou City.
Hundreds of li away north, a Hunting Forest lay—a reserved area of the Tiandou Empire, fully surrounded by imperial troops.
They were to hunt soul beasts there.
Normal maximum lifespan for absorbing a sixth soul ring was twenty thousand years, but Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were ambitious.
Tang San had undergone Blue Silver Emperor awakening and Clear Sky Hammer body refining.
According to Yu Xiaogang, soul beasts under thirty thousand years were no problem.
"With Xiao San's strength, a bit over thirty thousand is bearable!" Yu Xiaogang showed pride, provoking Dugu Feng's merciless smile.
If you knew my sixth soul ring was from a hundred-thousand-year beast, you'd drop your jaw.
The group searched quickly in the forest.
They were all strong, moving fast.
No soul beast could threaten them here.
The strongest Sword Douluo could slay all soul beasts with one hand.
The key was finding the highly concealed Human-Faced Demon Spider.
Dugu Feng observed this Hunting Forest; the environment was similar to Sunset Forest.
According to Qian Renxue's data, the strongest soul beast here was sixty thousand years old.
But the variety was vast and well nurtured under the empire's management, forming a complete ecosystem.
A true ecological food chain!
The Tiandou Empire operated multiple Hunting Forests with experience.
Whenever a species' power overwhelmingly jumped, they were hunted swiftly for soul rings.
This prevented ecological imbalance.
Keeping each species with both predator and prey.
Dugu Feng admired this.
No wonder Bibi Dong could cultivate one hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in Death Valley.
The twenty to thirty-thousand-year Human-Faced Demon Spiders had been seen by Hunting Forest patrols.
With careful searching, they were certain to find one.
Dugu Feng and Tang San walked at the center, protected by others.
Tang Xiao left the group to scout the forest quickly with his great strength.
Time passed from morning to evening. Even with Tang Xiao's Title Douluo power, they couldn't find the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
At night, the group set up tents to rest.
Yu Xiaogang encouraged, "Human-Faced Demon Spiders over ten thousand years old have stealth and talents to block spirit power detection. Unless hunting, they are hard to find.
But if it appears hunting, it won't escape Your Highness Xiao Tian's tracking. We must be patient—definitely find it!"
Dugu Feng understood this well.
They could only wait for the spider's hunting to reveal itself.
For three days they searched patiently.
Finally, on the fourth night, the Human-Faced Demon Spider appeared.
"Go, Xiao San, it's your turn now!"
Tang Xiao shouted and led the way.
Dugu Feng also braced himself to watch Tang San's performance.
Would there be another external spirit bone?
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo took positions on either side, Dream Divine Machine and Ning Fengzhi stood centrally, all manifesting their Martial Souls.
Everyone thought about whether that mysterious evil Soul Master would appear again.
Half an hour later.
They reached the target area.
Everyone scattered, hiding ahead, behind, left, and right.
Only Tang San with Blue Silver Emperor manifested walked forward.
This soul ring hunt would be like the third and fourth rings.
Tang San alone would face the Human-Faced Demon Spider with his own power.
Recreating the scene of external spirit bone emergence.
