The crowd suppressed their laughter as Zhao Xuan helplessly took out an item from his Soul Tool and handed it to Tang San.

Tang San, blushing, covered his lower half with one hand while quickly taking the clothes.

"Speaking of which, what are you girls looking at sneakily?" Zhao Wuji glanced at the girls who were secretly peeking and couldn't help but glare at them.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu turned her head sharply and glanced at Ning Rongrong, Hermione, and the others. Her crimson eyes narrowed, filled with a strong killing intent.

The few people were startled by Xiao Wu's "fierce and menacing" gaze and quickly turned away. Ning Rongrong muttered in a low voice, "Looking won't cost us a piece of flesh."

"Hmph," Xiao Wu snorted and ignored them. Turning back, she calmly watched Tang San put on his shirt and pants.

Tang San, wearing his pants, felt his cheeks flush when he noticed Xiao Wu's gaze. He couldn't help but say, "Xiao Wu, can you turn your head away?"

Xiao Wu pouted, "What's there to be shy about? We've slept together, what's there to be afraid of now?"

"Hiss~"

Everyone gasped, their eyes lighting up like light bulbs as they looked back and forth between the two. Young people nowadays were truly terrifying.

Zhao Xuan stood by with a smile. While others didn't know, he did. Back when they were at Nuoding Academy, Xiao Wu had accidentally spilled water from her cup onto the blanket. Without a blanket, Xiao Wu slept with Tang San for a night. They were all children back then, and many people had witnessed the event.

Tang San said angrily, "Xiao Wu, can you have some girlish modesty? Stop talking nonsense all day!"

Seeing Tang San angry, Xiao Wu's imposing aura weakened considerably. She mumbled, "Modesty doesn't fill your stomach, and besides, I'm not talking nonsense."

Tang San felt a headache coming on. He stopped bothering with Xiao Wu and quickly put on his pants. However, when he reached for his shirt, he froze.

"What is this?" he stared blankly at the eight Spider Spears behind him.

With a thought, the eight spider legs on his back moved as if they were his own limbs, as flexible as his hands and feet.

"I don't know. They grew after you absorbed your Soul Ring," Zhao Xuan shrugged.

Tang San looked bewildered and tried moving the spider legs. The sharp spider spears slashed towards a large tree beside them. The ancient tree's hard trunk was cut into by the spider spears as easily as tofu, stopping only after about thirty centimeters.

With another push, the entire spider spear was instantly withdrawn. On the ancient tree, there was only a very tiny mark.

"So sharp!"

Ma Hongjun exclaimed and rushed over. His small eyes stared intently at the spider spears behind Tang San, filled with admiration.

The spider spears carried a strange sweet fragrance. As Ma Hongjun sniffed, he almost drooled. He couldn't help but reach out and touch one.

The spider spears were as cold as iron, a special kind of bone, but the surface was very smooth, giving it an irresistible feel. Ma Hongjun couldn't help but touch it again, closing his eyes and enjoying the sensation.

"Fatty, what are you doing?" Oscar asked, looking at Ma Hongjun's lewd expression.

Ma Hongjun was startled, and his finger accidentally grazed the sharp edge of a spider spear, instantly cutting his skin.

"Ah," Ma Hongjun cried out.

Everyone instinctively looked over and saw Ma Hongjun's left hand turning purple at a visible speed, emitting wisps of black gas. Black, pus-like blood dripped down.

"He's poisoned," Li Qing immediately judged. He quickly placed a hand on Ma Hongjun, using his Soul Power to suppress the spread of the poison.

The black gas on his left hand stopped spreading, but Li Qing couldn't force the poison out. Zhao Wuji saw this and quickly shouted, "Oscar."

"Got it, I have a tiny sausage," Oscar nodded and hastily produced a small sausage.

He shoved the small sausage into Ma Hongjun's mouth. Fearing he might die, Ma Hongjun swallowed it whole. The color in his face improved slightly, but the black gas on his hand had not disappeared.

Ma Hongjun's face turned pale with fright. Was he going to die like this?

"Let me."

A sharp light flashed in Tang San's eyes. He grabbed Ma Hongjun's forearm. His hand turned jade white, forming a stark contrast with Ma Hongjun's hand.

"Is this a Soul Skill?" Li Qing asked in surprise.

As if with suction, the poison on Ma Hongjun's arm was rapidly drawn out before everyone's eyes. It flowed out through the cut on his hand, dripping onto the ground as purplish-black pus-like blood, emitting a foul, fishy odor.

Ma Hongjun breathed a sigh of relief, his face still pale. "I'm saved."

The veins on Zhao Wuji's forehead twitched. He couldn't help but give Ma Hongjun a rap on the head, "Don't touch things randomly in the future."

Tang San squatted down, looked at the pus-like blood flowing from Ma Hongjun, and then looked at the eight spider legs behind him. He exclaimed in surprise, "It's the poison of a Man Faced Demon Spider."

Oscar glanced fearfully at the spider legs behind Tang San and asked, "Tang San, what about this?"

Tang San frowned at the question, then his expression changed. The eight spider legs slowly retracted, finally disappearing completely into his back.

"They can be retracted," Tang San said with surprise.

"Let me see," Xiao Wu jumped behind Tang San to examine his back. Zhao Xuan also quickly squeezed in.

On Tang San's back, there were no wounds. Only on either side of his spine, four small white dots were neatly arranged.

"It's good that they can be retracted," Zhao Wuji breathed a sigh of relief. If Tang San were to remain like this, he really wouldn't dare to take him out.

Then, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but smile. "Although there were some scares this time, everyone's gains were quite good. Not only Oscar but Tang San also obtained his third Soul Ring."

After speaking, he secretly glanced at Li Qing. Actually, the biggest gain this time was Zhao Xuan bringing Li Qing back. Although Li Qing only said he was here to visit Shrek Academy, didn't this also present an opportunity for him to stay?

"Actually... I also obtained my third Soul Ring," Xiao Wu said weakly at this moment.

"You also obtained your third Soul Ring? What happened?" Zhao Wuji almost choked, his jaw nearly dropping in shock.

"After escaping from the Titan Giant Ape, the roar stunned quite a few Soul Beasts. I chose one of them to obtain a Soul Ring."

The Shrek members looked at each other in silence. What kind of luck was this? Not only did they escape from the Titan Giant Ape, but they also obtained their third Soul Ring!

Everyone's thoughts were in turmoil.

Dai Mubai felt a sense of urgency. If he didn't work harder, he would be overtaken by the younger students.

Hermione's gaze flickered, and at the same time, she felt a sense of powerlessness. How could these people be so strong?
