Chapter 293: The Reappearance of Eight Spider Spears
Tang San took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and walked to the Human-Faced Demon Spider's body.
Above the spider's corpse, a dense purple-black light had already risen.
"This is the third time, the third time absorbing the Human-Faced Demon Spider's soul ring. I must get the external spirit bone!"
Tang San's heart was frantic. The external spirit bone had become his obsession.
If he couldn't obtain it, he would surely lose control.
Tang San slowly sat down, released his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and extended his right hand to summon the spider's energy.
The violent purple-black energy surged, engulfing Tang San.
He began absorbing the sixth soul ring.
Everyone closed in around Tang San, encircling him.
Dream Divine Machine continuously cast the Black Demon Dream underground while Sword Douluo floated above holding the Seven Kill Sword, overseeing the distance; cold light flickered on the sword, ready to become a destructive blade.
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao stood on either side like mountain gods guarding Tang San.
Dugu Feng and Dugu Shuo circled and deployed poisons.
"Thank you all for your hard work!" Tang Hao raised his hand in thanks.
The others nodded silently.
The elusive evil Soul Master still weighed heavily on their minds.
Time passed slowly, and Tang San's body crackled with noises.
His clothes were completely burned away; blood droplets gleamed on his skin.
Clearly, leaping levels to absorb a soul ring was not easy.
Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang watched Tang San anxiously, unable to relax.
In fact, Tang San's resilience was strong; he weathered the first wave of shock, and absorbing the ring successfully was only a matter of time.
Dugu Feng watched Tang San closely, wondering if the external spirit bone would appear.
Suddenly, the bright blue glow of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul radiated again, and stalks of Blue Silver Grass grew around Tang San's body.
The grass on the ground also grew vigorously.
The grass was blue, purple, and gold in color; blue leaves with purple fluorescence and golden veins.
The stalks were as thick as three fingers and shone with an oily luster.
It looked extraordinary.
"He succeeded! Xiao San succeeded!" Yu Xiaogang rejoiced.
Everyone remained still, eyes fixed on Tang San.
The critical moment had arrived!
Tang San's sixth black soul ring appeared outside his body.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, six soul rings pulsed rhythmically.
But Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and Tang San himself remained vigilant.
Tang San shouted, "External spirit bone, external spirit bone, external spirit bone, external spirit bone, must appear!"
The forest instantly fell silent.
A tearing sound rang out.
Tang San's face twisted beyond recognition. His upper body abruptly jumped, back hunched like a humpback.
Eight fist-sized protrusions appeared on his back.
They were on both sides of the spine, needle-like spearheads piercing through.
"It appeared! It appeared again! The external spirit bone—it's really appeared!" Tang Hao murmured, slipping into a trance-like state.
Nine soul rings circled the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.
The Clear Sky Hammer swelled, rising like a small mountain.
Killing intent shone fiercely from Tang Hao's eyes.
Tang Xiao was nearly the same. The reappearance of the external spirit bone meant the evil Soul Master might also show up.
"Your Highness, Dream Committee, Clan Leader Dugu, do you sense anything?" Tang Xiao asked.
He addressed Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Dream Divine Machine, and Dugu Shuo.
Sword Douluo wielded the Seven Kill Sword, most sensitive to killing intent and human aura—a keen observer.
The others had their own specialties; at this moment, all eyes were on them.
Sword Douluo frowned, "Don't worry, I sense nothing!"
Bone Douluo, Dream Divine Machine, and Dugu Shuo also shook their heads, sensing no enemies.
Yet Tang Hao and Tang Xiao remained vigilant as if facing a great threat.
Yu Xiaogang approached Tang San closely. If an enemy struck, he was ready to protect Tang San at any cost.
Dugu Feng shouted inwardly, "A conspiracy! Damn conspiracy! Three times absorbing Human-Faced Demon Spider, three times external spirit bones—definitely a conspiracy!"
Dugu Feng recalled in the original story Tang San absorbed twice and got external spirit bones twice.
The second external spirit bone appeared on Tang San's chest, leading to his transformation of the eight spider spears into armor.
Though the plot had changed, each time Tang San got eight spider spears.
Dugu Feng's eyes lit up.
"Good! The eight spider spears appeared again, providing energy for my external spirit bone.
You're cautious now, I won't recklessly attack the blades, but I don't believe you'll guard him forever!"
Dugu Feng smiled excitedly.
Tang San truly was his treasure bearer!
Tang San in the center gritted his teeth; all eight protrusions on his back burst open.
The eight spider spears wildly grew.
They lifted Tang San off the ground, transforming him to resemble the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
Such an amazing scene had been witnessed twice by Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, Yu Xiaogang, and Dugu Feng.
But Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Dream Divine Machine saw it for the first time.
All four were shocked.
Ning Fengzhi cursed silently.
Having two external spirit bones stolen, still appearing a third time—could Tang San be the son of a god?
Twin Martial Souls were already incredible.
Now with external spirit bones, are they forcefully given?
Should the Clear Sky Sect become the continent's top sect?
Ning Fengzhi raged inwardly.
"I deeply wish you good, to fight Spirit Hall.
But if you do so well, I feel uneasy."
Even Dugu Shuo was amazed.
What kind of monsters was the Clear Sky Sect? Feng'er's fate was tremendous, and so was theirs.
Fortunately, Feng'er was steady and the Dugu family low-key; so far, their ambitions remained hidden.
They silently watched the situation develop.
The Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall were both powerful—it was best not to openly provoke them!
Allying with Seven Treasure, spying on Clear Sky—a wise plan!
Besides their amazement, Dream Divine Machine was also puzzled.
Having taught at Tiandou Academy for decades, he'd never seen such sinister occurrences.
It seemed soul master academies' teaching methods were outdated!
Now even external spirit bones could be premeditated!
Those soul masters who purified themselves in seclusion, nervous, absorbing soul rings not even at the limit—what were they?
Dream Divine Machine felt the world had changed; he was growing old.
