Chapter 9 Intercepting the Spear, Eight Spider Lances!
Tang San was very excited. In this dangerous forest full of soul beasts, powerful soul beasts could attack at any time.
Absorbing a spirit ring is the most vulnerable time for a spirit master. At that time, not to mention a thousand-year-old spirit beast, even a spirit beast with only a few hundred years of cultivation can have a fatal impact on a spirit master.
But now, a kind and responsible Soul Master has appeared, not only giving him his Soul Ring but also offering to protect him, which deeply moved Tang San.
The main reason was that this Soul Master came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which was Ning Rongrong's home, so Tang San couldn't help but feel a bit closer to him.
"Brother, please absorb the soul bone first. I'll protect you while you do so," Tang San said sincerely.
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "Fusing soul bones isn't difficult. Even without someone protecting you, there won't be any accidents. But you, weren't you eager to increase your strength to save your friend? What are you waiting for?"
Tang San's expression hardened, and he nodded in agreement, "I almost forgot! Great kindness needs no words of thanks; I, Tang San, will remember this favor. May I ask your honorable name, elder brother?"
"Dust and Wind".
Chen Feng glanced at him with a complicated expression, then distanced himself and sat down not far away to begin absorbing the soul bone, ignoring Tang San.
The attributes of the Human-Faced Demon Spider are actually not very compatible with the Seven Kill Sword. If it were a choice of soul rings, Chen Feng would definitely not have made this choice.
However, the external soul bone is different.
First of all, it does not belong to the six soul bones of the user, and its combat attributes will not be affected by absorption.
Secondly, external soul bones can evolve as the soul master's strength increases, and may even produce additional skills or enchantment effects.
Chen Feng remembered that Tang San's Eight Spider Lances had a special skill: poison.
If it weren't for this attribute, the Shrek Seven Devils would not have been able to defeat the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall in their later decisive battle.
Furthermore, the Eight Spider Lances will evolve into wings in the later stages, which is a skill that every swordsman and soul master dreams of. The combat attribute will become integrated on land and in the air, instead of relying on soul power to achieve short-term flight.
Chen Feng took out the external soul bone and saw that Tang San had already begun to absorb the soul ring not far away, so he silently began to absorb the power of the soul bone.
Never easily trust others.
The absorption process went smoothly, and the external soul bone showed no signs of rejection. As time went by, Chen Feng felt a gentle power slowly spreading out, as comfortable as soaking in warm water.
At this moment, if someone were to observe from the outside, they could see that Chen Feng's spine was emitting a faint purple glow, and then, the ends of eight rib-like structures slowly protruded from his back.
After a slight pain and tingling, eight bulges burst forth from the body, and eight purple spider legs extended from the back, emitting a faint purple aura and shimmering with light, like transparent amethyst.
Chen Feng tried to control it, originally thinking it would take some getting used to, but it worked as smoothly as if several extra arms had grown out.
"brush--"
The purple spider leg, like a sword, sliced through a towering ancient tree, carving a deep trench in the trunk, about one-third of its length.
The force feedback felt like nothingness; there was no resistance, and it easily severed the past.
What surprised Chen Feng even more was that a faint purple light was spreading rapidly from the cut, and in just a few blinks, it had almost covered the entire ancient tree.
Immediately afterwards, the once vibrant tree gradually withered, its leaves turned yellow, and fell.
Leaves fell from the sky, and before they even hit the ground, they turned into dust and vanished without a trace.
Chen Feng was stunned. Although he had long understood the properties of the Eight Spider Lances, he only realized how terrifying it was after truly experiencing its power firsthand.
In addition, there was a special feeling in the dust and wind, and it seemed that the surprise brought by the Eight Spider Lances was not limited to this.
He activated his Martial Soul, and the Seven Kill Sword quietly appeared in his hand. Chen Feng used the Seven Kill Sword to lightly slice across another large stone, and a wound immediately appeared. Surprisingly, purple toxins were constantly corroding the wound, producing a sizzling sound that made one's scalp crawl.
However, this seems to be just an enchantment on the martial soul, not as swift as the poison release of the Eight Spider Lances, but it is still shocking enough.
Imagine if someone were stabbed by Chen Feng's sword. If they didn't receive timely treatment, Chen Feng wouldn't even need to finish them off; the poison alone would be enough to kill them.
At the very least, it will cause the injured person immense pain. The continuous corrosion of the wound is a persistent injury, and even with the support of soul power, both combat strength and mobility will likely be greatly reduced.
"What a treasure! It just needs a name change. It can't be called Eight Spider Spears anymore." Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction, keeping the matter in mind, and would think of a new name when he had time.
Not far away, Tang San was at the most crucial moment in absorbing the spirit ring.
Soul rings that have exceeded their age limit are not so easy to absorb, and the Human-Faced Demon Spider is an extremely poisonous and evil soul beast. Unless you have a strong physique, an ordinary person would definitely be killed.
Chen Feng naturally knew the outcome. Although Tang San's process of absorbing this spirit ring was dangerous, he finally succeeded. This was also the beginning of his ability to absorb spirit rings across time limits. The spirit rings he obtained afterward were all more and more monstrous than the last.
Of course, Chen Feng felt that he would definitely be even more monstrous than Tang San.
Soon after, a whooshing sound came from the air, and the burly Zhao Wuji was the first to arrive.
Following closely behind were the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils.
"Tang San, I'm so glad you're alright! Have you found Xiao Wu?"
Ning Rongrong asked impatiently.
Zhao Wuji said with a solemn expression, "Don't ask about that now. He's absorbing a soul ring and can't be distracted. Let's talk about it after he finishes."
At this moment, everyone turned their attention to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng had changed into a new set of clothes. His previous shirt had been pierced by the Eight Spider Spears, but luckily he had a habit of carrying a package before going out.
Dressed in a solid black outfit, with a face that reveals no emotion, anyone who sees him for the first time would think he's rather lonely.
In reality, Chenfeng wasn't exactly cold-hearted; he just didn't like to communicate.
"Hello." Chen Feng took the initiative to speak, gave a brief greeting, and then said nothing more.
Zhao Wuji asked suspiciously, "Hello, young friend. I am Tang San's teacher. What are you doing with Tang San?"
"I helped him hunt soul beasts." Chen Feng told the truth, and then briefly recounted the previous process, without mentioning any external soul bones.
After hearing Chen Feng's words, everyone's expressions immediately became somewhat strange.
Dai Mubai scratched his head and said, "Didn't Tang San go after Xiao Wu? From what you're saying, it sounds like he came specifically to find a spirit ring."
"It was just a coincidence! Besides, with increased strength, wouldn't it be safer to find someone?" Chen Feng explained for Tang San.
Zhao Wuji's expression was grim. "Safe my ass! That's a Titan Giant Ape! I, a Soul Saint, could be easily crushed there. What's the point of breaking through to Soul Venerable!"
Everyone fell silent.
Everyone was thinking about the same thing.
Did this guy actually go to rescue Xiao Wu or not?
