Return

Level 25. Su Mo's current Soul Power Level had already reached level 25.

After absorbing the External Soul Bone Eight Spider Lances, Su Mo had gone up three levels in one go.

Of course, three levels of soul power were secondary. The most important thing was that after absorbing the Eight Spider Lances, Su Mo's strength had increased again.

When using the Eight Spider Lances, all of Su Mo's attributes could rise by 50%!

The Eight Spider Lances also carried deadly poison and could absorb poison. Not only poison—they could also devour energy, devouring any kind of energy and converting it into his own soul power.

That was why External Soul Bones were said to be precious. Just the 50% boost to his own state was already extremely powerful.

Because this was not a soul ring soul skill. It could stack with other boosting soul skills for an even greater effect.

And the most precious thing about an External Soul Bone was that it could continuously evolve along with the soul master, and its abilities would grow stronger and stronger.

"Su Mo, before you become strong, avoid using your External Soul Bone whenever you can!"

"Before your External Soul Bone has completely fused with you, you absolutely must avoid exposing it—even within Shrek Academy!"

"You've gained three levels of soul power. Zhao Wuji and the others should be able to sense it, but your soul power was already relatively rich to begin with. Just say you happened to break through. You don't need to say how many levels you gained. If they don't test you, they won't know you rose three levels in a row!"

"Hide it as much as you can!"

"Because External Soul Bones are simply too precious!"

Seeing that Su Mo had successfully absorbed the Eight Spider Lances, Bibi Dong, who had been guarding outside the whole time, also began warning Su Mo solemnly.

Bibi Dong did think things through for Su Mo's sake.

In Shrek Academy, the only person she trusted was Yu Xiaogang, who had yet to arrive. She did not trust anyone else.

That was why she warned Su Mo to hide it as much as possible.

"Mm, that's what I was thinking too!"

Su Mo nodded to show he understood.

After glancing at the Purple Soul Ring still lingering above the corpse of the Man Faced Demon Spider, Su Mo did not stay any longer. He turned and left.

His luck was decent; he had not been caught by Dragon Duke and Snake Granny.

The Eight Spider Lances were already in his hands, so Su Mo also had to hurry back to the group. Being alone in the Star Dou Great Forest was still extremely dangerous.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Not long after Su Mo left, roughly half an hour later, three figures arrived before the corpse of the Man Faced Demon Spider.

"It's my Man Faced Demon Spider..."

"Damn it, who stole my Man Faced Demon Spider?!"

When Meng Yiran saw the dead Man Faced Demon Spider, she immediately lost control.

She had never imagined her luck would be this bad. Two soul beasts she had set her sights on in a row had both been taken by others.

"The surrounding soul power is abundant. It should have been produced after the soul ring dissipated!"

"This was wanton killing. Damn it!"

Dragon Duke Meng Shu sensed the soul power around them and looked at the corpse of the Man Faced Demon Spider, then gave an angry snort.

It would have been one thing if someone had taken it, but the problem was that it had been casually slaughtered, wasting a high-quality soul ring for nothing. That made him extremely vexed.

Someone who needed it could not get it, while someone who did not need it had killed it casually.

"Let's go. Grandfather will keep helping you search for another soul beast!"

"Don't worry. Grandfather will definitely help you find a suitable and powerful soul beast!"

In the end, Dragon Duke Meng Shu could only comfort Meng Yiran.

Then the three of them left. They had only discovered that the Man Faced Demon Spider's soul ring had dissipated and been wasted, and had not noticed in the slightest that an incomparably precious External Soul Bone had once emerged from this Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse.

That was also because, after the Man Faced Demon Spider dropped the Eight Spider Lances, its corpse did not have any missing arms or legs, so there was no way to notice.

After having Bibi Dong fly into the air to provide him with a view, Su Mo quickly found Zhao Wuji and the others.

After all, everyone was not too far away from one another, and Bibi Dong's field of vision was relatively strong, so she was able to find them.

Once he discovered Zhao Wuji and the others, Su Mo naturally went to regroup with them.

"Su Mo!"

When she saw Su Mo, the most excited one was Ning Rongrong. She threw herself directly into Su Mo's arms.

Among the people from Shrek, the one she had worried about most was Su Mo.

"That's great. Everyone couldn't find you, and I thought something had happened to you!"

After her excitement passed, Ning Rongrong quickly jumped out of Su Mo's arms and spoke with a reddened face.

"Good heavens, there really is something going on here!"

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun let out a strange heh-heh laugh.

The others all smiled faintly at the sight. Only Oscar's smile was somewhat bitter.

"Su Mo, as long as you're all right. Tang San and Xiao Wu have already come back too, and they're both fine!"

Zhao Wuji smiled as he spoke to Su Mo.

As it turned out, before Su Mo returned, Tang San and Xiao Wu had already come back together ahead of him.

With all the students safe and sound, the happiest person was naturally him, the teacher leading the team.

"Su Mo, thank you for helping earlier!"

Tang San stepped forward then and thanked Su Mo sincerely.

"Su Mo, I also thank you for coming to save me!"

Xiao Wu followed him forward and said the same.

"It's fine. We're all teammates, so helping each other is only right!"

"But I really didn't expect Tang San to actually be able to rescue you. Tang San, that was seriously amazing!"

Su Mo first waved his hand, then put on a look of surprise as he spoke to Xiao Wu and Tang San.

For Tang San to have actually rescued Xiao Wu from the hands of the Titan Giant Ape—if Su Mo didn't show a little shock, that would have been abnormal.

"Hehe, I was just lucky..."

Xiao Wu giggled, then gave the same reason as in the original work, and also said that she had advanced to level 30 and had conveniently absorbed a Soul Ring as well.

"Then your luck is way too good!"

What could Su Mo say?

He could only express his admiration for Xiao Wu's luck!

"All right, since everyone is fine, that's better than anything!"

"Now only Tang San's Soul Ring still hasn't been found. We'll continue searching, but we won't look in this area anymore. We'll move to another area!"

Zhao Wuji spoke up at that moment.

Tang San's Soul Ring still had no lead, so of course they had to keep searching.

It was just that he didn't dare keep searching in this area, afraid they might run into the Titan Giant Ape again.

So everyone prepared to change areas and continue helping Tang San look for a suitable soul beast.

On the road, Zhao Wuji also keenly noticed that the Soul Power on Su Mo had increased. Su Mo said that he had leveled up as well.

As for exactly how many levels he had advanced, he didn't say, and the matter of the External Soul Bone was the same.

Zhao Wuji did not suspect anything about this. One or two of them had leveled up already, so adding Su Mo to the list was not strange.

After changing locations, they spent another two days before everyone finally found a soul beast suitable for Tang San.

A nineteen-hundred-year-old Cave Spider.

Although it was more than a hundred years above the theoretical limit, with Su Mo's precedent and Tang San's great confidence in his own physical condition, Tang San chose that Cave Spider after seeing it.

Tang San truly succeeded in absorbing it, and the Third Soul Skill he obtained was actually the same as in the original work: Spider Web Restraint.

The difference was that its binding ability was stronger, while its toxic effect was not as strong as the Soul Ring from the Man Faced Demon Spider.

"Tang San really can't get away from spiders!"

"But if Blue Silver Grass is taking the control-system path, then absorbing spider-type soul beasts really is the most suitable!"

Su Mo merely laughed inwardly at this.

After Tang San obtained his Soul Ring as well, everyone set off on the return journey.

Other than Su Mo, Tang San and the others did not know that Shrek Academy had welcomed a new teacher.
