After finishing their Soul Hunting, Su He and Oscar quickly returned to the Shrek Academy's camp.

It was not yet dawn; the first rays of daylight filtered through the dense foliage and fell upon the earth where the temperature was just beginning to rise.

The two walked through the dense trees to the open space where the camp was located, only to find a figure already waiting outside the tent.

Su He looked closely and saw that it was Mo Xiaoyu. At this moment, the latter was kneeling beside the fire with her hands clasped together and her eyes closed, as if she was praying for something.

The two's return startled Mo Xiaoyu, who opened her eyes. Upon seeing Su He return, Mo Xiaoyu disregarded their previous grievances and quickly walked to Su He, asking her with concern.

"Teacher Su, you're back! Did you see where Little San ran off to? I can't find him anywhere!"

Looking at Mo Xiaoyu's earnest eyes, Su He couldn't help but sigh that Tang San's life was indeed quite good.

The worry in Mo Xiaoyu's eyes was genuine; it was truly a heartfelt expression. This Soul Beast's feelings for Tang San were incredibly sincere, just like Xiao Wu's in the Original Work.

Su He felt that Mo Xiaoyu's existence was like the world's will sensing the change in the fate of the Child of Destiny and adding a restorative force; who knows what kind of melodramatic sacrifice plot might unfold in the future.

Unfortunately, no matter how genuine their feelings were, it was their business and had nothing to do with Su He, so Su He naturally wouldn't tell her the truth.

Furthermore, how could Su He, not being a deity, know where Tang San went after losing track of them?

As a great figure of destiny in the Douluo Continent, Great God King Tang) should not be in any danger venturing alone through the perilous Star Dou Great Forest at night!

Thinking of this, Su He looked at Mo Xiaoyu and said calmly.

"Oscar and I left simply to search for Tang San's Soul Ring; we never saw any trace of him."

"How could this be..." Mo Xiaoyu sat on the ground with a sense of melancholy. For some reason, she had a very ominous premonition, as if the person she cared about most was facing a life-or-death situation.

Perhaps it was fate that brought her and Tang San together; their long time together had given them the ability to communicate telepathically.

Mo Xiaoyu was right. Tang San was in an extremely dangerous situation. If it were an ordinary Soul Master at the Soul Ancestor level, it would be a death sentence.

Tang San relied on the unpredictable Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to avoid most of the attacks, but several highly poisonous threads remained on his left arm, as if half-engraved on his skin, and were still seeping toxins outwards.

This is a skill that the Man Faced Demon Spider can only use three times a day, and it is also its greatest asset in hunting.

Tang San gripped the Clear Sky Hammer in his right hand, panting heavily. Although the strange blood-red energy on his body amplified all his attributes, greatly improving his combat power and reaction speed, it still couldn't erase the effects of the poison.

If Tang San hadn't been a member of the Tang Sect in his previous life, possessing expertise in various poisons, he would have already died from the poison. The venom of the Man Faced Demon Spider was incredibly potent; Tang San's left arm had completely turned purple. If he hadn't sealed the meridians in his left arm, the poison would likely have spread throughout his body, causing his death!

"Clear Sky Hammer, Chaotic Cloak!"

Tang San knew he was at a significant disadvantage in terms of raw strength, so he had no choice but to go all out. Since he hadn't focused on cultivating the Blue Silver Grass but instead started with the powerful Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, Tang San had already mastered the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer to a minor level under Tang Hao's guidance, and now he could wield it with ease using one hand.

In the few breaths that had passed, Tang San's mind raced, devising a plan to kill the Man Faced Demon Spider in front of him, and the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer offered the only possibility.

"Hiss!!"

The Man Faced Demon Spider emitted a disgusting and shrill cry, having been thoroughly enraged by Tang San during their previous exchange.

It no longer avoided direct confrontation, but instead used its thick, long, sharp, and hard spider legs to fight Tang San head-on.

This situation was naturally extremely unfavorable for Tang San. In melee combat, the length of the weapon is often one of the most important factors in determining the outcome. The spider legs of the Man Faced Demon Spider were several meters long, making it extremely difficult for Tang San to deal with them.

Fortunately, Tang San learned some defensive techniques from the basic hammer techniques of the Clear Sky Sect, which allowed him to barely manage to parry the attacks.

The Creator treats all children equally; when He closes one door, He will surely open a window.

Humans, as the most intelligent of all beings, possess the advantage of powerful cultivation talent and terrifying wisdom. Admittedly, human Soul Master are far weaker in terms of physique and lifespan compared to Soul Beast, but their superior intelligence and cultivation speed can compensate for this disparity.

Tang San had gradually gained control of the Man Faced Demon Spider's attack rhythm, and the Clear Sky Hammer's counterattacks made the latter howl in pain.

Seeing the tide of battle turn, a strange man in a black and red robe, who had been observing Concealment behind Tang San, nodded and left with satisfaction.

The Man Faced Demon Spider's attacks were not without strategy. The moment Tang San pulled it into his attack rhythm, its only option for survival was to turn and run. Unfortunately, the mindless Soul Beast clearly lacked such wisdom.

Based on its past experience and instincts, it knew that its opponent was just a three-ring Soul Elder, so how could he have such great strength!

"Clear Sky Hammer, charge!"

Tang San roared and found an opening in the spider's leg attack, delivering a powerful uppercut that sent the Man Faced Demon Spider flying, exposing the human face pattern on its abdomen to Tang San.

Tang San sneered and took out a Sleeve Arrow from the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight again, aiming at the latter's weak point and shooting it, just like when he obtained his third Soul Ring in the Original Work.

The Sleeve Arrow pierced straight into the spider's weak spot. After a few thrashing movements, the Man Faced Demon Spider, like any dead spider, lay lifeless with its eight legs together, its body pointing skyward. Tang San also inexplicably felt a strange sensation behind him, and then eight purple spider legs, exuding a dangerous aura, grew from his back.

The Eight Spider Lances have reappeared after all!

Tang San was still unaware of what the spider legs behind him were. At that moment, he felt utterly exhausted and had no strength left to stand.

As the crimson energy slowly faded, Tang San's will, which was on the verge of falling into unconsciousness, was stimulated by the unbearable pain in his left arm, forcing him to regain consciousness.

Although he now possesses the Eight Spider Lances and is no longer afraid of the Man Faced Demon Spider's venom, his left arm is completely necrotic, and even if the venom is neutralized, it will likely never be usable as before.

For a Battle Spirit Master, this was clearly a Destruction blow! It could even be said that it severely limited the upper limit of Tang San's talent.

Two updates delivered! That's all for today.
