First Soul Skill, External Soul Bone Appears

Shiyu's heart tightened. His opponent was trying to stop him from teleporting.

His opponent might not have been able to interfere with space itself, but he could interfere with a Spirit Master's use of Space Attribute power. Shiyu was currently being disrupted.

After interfering with Shiyu, Xu Sanshi charged forward at top speed, like a rampaging bull, as though he wanted to smash Shiyu to pieces.

"Aeronautics Technique!" Shiyu could no longer move instantaneously as he had before. The Soul Power within him was running sluggishly. There was no time.

The First Soul Ring on his body lit up. He needed the Soul Ring's power to accelerate the circulation of his Spatial Power.

Once the soul skill was activated, the Spatial Power within him began circulating noticeably faster. His body shot upward like a rocket taking off.

Ten Thousand Years Ago, he had not known why he was unable to use Soul Rings, but after returning, he could use them normally.

The effect of his First Soul Skill was Aeronautics. It allowed him to fly through the air, and it could also make opponents or certain objects fly through the air.

If used properly, it could throw off the trajectories of many of an opponent's close-range attacks and even energy attacks.

He could not make Xu Sanshi deviate too greatly right now. He could only change his own position.

Xu Sanshi planted a foot on the ground and leaped upward, intending to knock Shiyu out of the air.

Shiyu rose extremely fast and soon surpassed the range Xu Sanshi could reach.

In his anxiety, Xu Sanshi directly hurled the Mysterious Nether Turtle Shell Shield in his hand at Shiyu.

Every muscle in Shiyu's body tensed. He could not accelerate any further. At this rate, he would definitely be struck.

In that split second, he considered using Time Power, but the effects of his opponent's Third Soul Skill made it difficult for him to activate Time Power in an instant.

This was not when he had been Ten Thousand Years Ago. Back then, even the pressure brought by a Spirit Saint could be ignored, and the Soul Power within him could circulate freely.

His current self could not compare to the time when he had traveled Ten Thousand Years Ago.

Purple light flared behind him. One spider leg after another burst from the flesh of his back, curling forward and overlapping in front of him as a shield.

"What is that?" Many people cried out when they saw the suddenly appearing spider legs.

Xu Sanshi was taken aback.

Beibei frowned slightly.

Huo Yuhao watched with a bewildered look, unable to understand what it was.

Mu En, who had been lying there leisurely, stared without blinking at Shiyu, who was already dozens of meters above the ground.

"An External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances?" Mu En was not one of those inexperienced students. He made a judgment at a glance.

However, this External Soul Bone surprised him. It was extremely similar to the External Soul Bone possessed by Ancestor Tang San Ten Thousand Years Ago, and it appeared to be the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone.

Clang! The Mysterious Nether Turtle Shell Shield crashed into the Eight Spider Lances, producing a sound like metal striking metal.

Shiyu's body was sent flying. He rolled several times in midair before barely managing to steady himself.

Intense pain came from his back, making his expression twist in pain. When he looked closely, he saw cracks in two of the spider legs of his Eight Spider Lances. They had been hit hard.

The Mysterious Nether Turtle Shell Shield was knocked back by the rebound force and landed steadily in Xu Sanshi's hand.

After landing, Xu Sanshi clenched his fists but did not attack again. He found it hard to accept this outcome.

Shiyu let out a long breath and looked at Xu Sanshi, his expression no better.

"The agreement of three moves has passed. Xu Sanshi, you lost. I hope you'll keep your word and stop bothering Senior Nannan from now on."

Some people looked at Shiyu, astonished by his abilities and curious about the thing on his back.

Others looked at Xu Sanshi with faint amusement. A Soul Elder failing to defeat a Spirit Master within three moves was quite humiliating.

Xu Sanshi remained silent, only clenching his fists tighter.

He glanced toward Jiang Nannan. Her expression was indifferent as she turned her head away, clearly not wanting anything to do with him.

Seeing Jiang Nannan's expression, Xu Sanshi's heart hurt even more. He was unwilling to accept it and did not want to give up just like that.

"Let's go first." Beibei ran over to pull Xu Sanshi away.

The agreement of three moves had been made beforehand. If Xu Sanshi publicly broke it, his reputation would take a severe hit. He could only endure it for now.

Xu Sanshi put away his Martial Soul and left with Beibei. After taking a few steps, he stopped and turned back to look at Shiyu with an icy gaze.

"I lost this time. After a while, I'll challenge you again. If you're a man, don't hide."

"You can hide for a while, but can you hide forever?"

Shiyu slowly descended to the ground and found Xu Sanshi's words rather amusing.

"Aren't you just trying to provoke me into accepting your challenge?"

"Then you'll bring up some condition, such as overturning our bet this time. As long as you win, it'll be as if you never lost this time."

"Do you really think I'm stupid? Sorry, but I won't accept any of your future challenges. I also hope you'll continue keeping this promise and stop bothering Senior Nannan."

"And don't come looking for trouble with me again. If you're a man, you'd better keep your word." Shiyu's words became sharp as well.

"You..." Xu Sanshi was about to go over and slap Shiyu.

"Calm down, calm down!" Beibei hurriedly held Xu Sanshi back.

"Everyone, please bear witness for me. And if you see Xu Sanshi bothering Senior Nannan in the future, please help remind him that as a man, he should be true to his word!" Shiyu shouted loudly.

Since Xu Sanshi wanted a follow-up, Shiyu would give him one.

"No problem!" Many people agreed with laughter, clearly enjoying the spectacle.

"Just you wait!" Xu Sanshi pointed at Shiyu. He truly had no face left to remain there and left angrily.

Beibei followed Xu Sanshi, intending to comfort his good brother.

Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya did not stay long either, following Beibei.

"Brother, is that a Soul Bone on your back?" someone asked curiously, their gaze somewhat fervent.

Shiyu looked behind himself and silently retracted the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone.

He merely smiled faintly at the person and did not answer.

He did not want to admit it, but lying would be like treating the other person as a fool. Staying silent was best.

"Senior Nannan, you don't blame me for making the decision for you and stopping Xu Sanshi from bothering you, do you?" Shiyu asked Jiang Nannan with a hint of apology.

He had made the decision for Jiang Nannan without her consent, which was somewhat inappropriate.

Jiang Nannan looked at Shiyu, shook her head slightly, and said, "I actually never wanted to deal with him. I was tired of him pestering me too."

"You helped me solve this problem. I haven't even had the chance to thank you yet, so how could I blame you?"

"When I have time, I'll treat you to a meal as thanks."

"Then I'll make sure to eat you out of house and home." Shiyu immediately relaxed and joked.

"You're not allowed to order anything too expensive. I don't have much money," Jiang Nannan warned.

"I don't have much money either. We should save a little, or it'll be awkward if we finish eating and can't pay the bill, then get told to wash dishes to repay it." Shiyu laughed.

Jiang Nannan unconsciously smiled as well. Seeing how relaxed Shiyu appeared, she still asked with concern, "Are you hurt?"

"My back hurts a little, but it's nothing. A few days of rest and I'll be fine," Shiyu said dismissively.

Jiang Nannan walked behind Shiyu and reached out to lift his clothes.

"What are you doing?" Shiyu was caught off guard, but he did not dodge.

Jiang Nannan lifted his clothes and saw several red marks on his back.

They had all been caused when the Mysterious Nether Turtle Shell Shield struck the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone.
