Chance Encounter, Thoughts on the Eight Spider Lances

The demand for Soul Beast this time is enormous. Dugu Yan, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Tang San, apart from Xiao Wu who is Soul Beast who has been reborn and does not need to hunt Soul Beast, there are a total of four people who need Soul Ring.

Moreover, Dugu Yan's Fifth Spirit Ring is at least 30,000 years old, which can be said to be the best way for these Little Monsters to hone their skills.

After all, Soul Beast are different from humans. Once their lives are threatened, they will fight back without hesitation.

In addition, as the largest wild Spirit Beast Forest on the continent, the Star Dou Great Forest is home to a wide variety of Soul Beast. When they are searching for Soul Ring, they may also be targeted by other powerful Soul Beast.

For some Soul Beast, a powerful Soul Master is the best tonic.

After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, the group, under Oscar's command, formed a professional hunting team and headed towards their predetermined target.

Before they arrived, they had already roughly planned out the types of Soul Beast they needed, which would save them a lot of time.

Upon entering the forest, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, both Assault System, took the lead, while Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, both Agile Attack System, moved to the sides of the group, constantly watching out for any attacks from Soul Beast.

Tang San was responsible for protecting Ning Rongrong, and the two of them were in the middle of the group, while Oscar and Dugu Yan were responsible for bringing up the rear.

Zhao Wuji and Flender did not intend to make a move, but they silently followed in the middle of the group without having to do anything.

As Control System Spirit Master, Tang San should generally be the one to formulate tactics, but Oscar's prestige at the Shrek Academy is far beyond what Tang San alone can match.

Furthermore, Tang San himself greatly admired and obeyed Oscar, so Oscar's words were absolute commands, and no one would contradict him.

The process of finding Soul Ring requires a bit of luck. If you're lucky, the Soul Ring you need might appear right in front of you as soon as you step into the Spirit Beast Forest.

However, if you're unlucky, you might not see any results for months.

Oscar and his group were quite lucky; on the third day after entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Zhu Zhuqing's Third Spirit Ring was secured.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that Zhu Zhuqing's Third Spirit Ring is a full 2,700 years old, directly exceeding the limit of about 1,000 years.

Tang San, as Yu Xiaogang's former disciple, is arguably the most shocking one in comparison.

He could barely understand why Dugu Yan absorbed Soul Ring beyond her level, after all, her grandfather was Titled Douluo, and she had access to rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure that he couldn't even imagine.

But now everyone at the Shrek Academy seems to be able to absorb Soul Ring beyond their level? Were all the theories I learned before just a lie? In response, Oscar said calmly, "Tang San, now you understand why I was prejudiced against Yu Xiaogang, right?"

"His theories are nothing more than summaries he drew from the work of his predecessors, and many of them are just his own guesses. He has not put them into practice. I can't imagine what your future would be like if you continued to cultivate according to his advice."

Upon hearing this, Tang San, who was already quite dissatisfied with Yu Xiaogang, felt even more disdain for him.

How many innocent Soul Master would be killed by a flawed theory? How many Soul Master's talents would be tarnished? Oscar continued, "The limit of Soul Master's ability to absorb Soul Ring is not absolute. The theory summarized by Yu Xiaogang is only about right for most Soul Master."

"But for true geniuses or Soul Master with extremely poor talent, it depends on the individual."

Tang San and the others listened attentively. Oscar slowly said, "The most important thing in absorbing Soul Ring below the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring is the Soul Master's own physical fitness and willpower. If the physical fitness is sufficient, absorbing Soul Ring above the level is not a problem."

"Like Zhuqing and the others, they have been in the academy for more than two years. In these two years, their improvement has far exceeded that of their usual cultivation, which is why they are able to absorb Soul Ring beyond their level."

At this point, Oscar's eyes gleamed. "Actually, the academy also has methods to help you increase the age of your absorbed Soul Ring, but to obtain this method, you have to pay a much higher price than you can imagine."

Upon hearing this, Tang San, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu's pupils suddenly contracted. "A method to increase the age of absorbed Soul Ring?"

Flender then said, "That's right, but this is a secret of the academy. Although you have now entered the academy, you still do not meet my requirements. However, as long as you can meet my requirements, the academy can give you this method free of charge."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up. If she could obtain this method and bring it back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, wouldn't that allow the school to reach a higher level?

However, Flender seemed to have guessed her thoughts and said calmly, "But you must remember, I don't care where you come from. Even if you eventually obtain the secrets of the academy, you can only keep them to yourselves."

"The academy can help you Little Monster for free, but you can't do anything that would harm the academy."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's newly formed idea was abruptly extinguished, because she knew what Flender meant.

If I bring the method for increasing the age of the absorbed Soul Ring back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and make it public, then this secret will no longer be a secret to the Shrek Academy.

Flender continued, "I know some of you come from prominent families, but once you enter Shrek Academy, you become members of the Shrek Academy. If you feel you cannot live up to that, you can leave the academy now."

At this point, Flender gave a wicked smile, "Actually, I'm not afraid to tell you, although our Shrek Academy is just a small academy in a remote village, the background behind it is very powerful."

"If anyone breaks the rules, I, Flender, will no longer consider you my student."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong, Tang San, and the others nodded. They knew what to do in this situation; since Flender had already instructed them, they wouldn't do anything outside the rules. After all, they weren't fools.

After Zhu Zhuqing absorbed the Third Spirit Ring, her Third Spirit Ability, just like in the original story, became a single-target attack skill, significantly enhancing her thrusting Severing abilities.

After finding a suitable Soul Ring for Zhu Zhuqing, the group began searching for Soul Ring for the others.

However, perhaps because Tang San came to the Shrek Academy, or perhaps because their hunting for Soul Ring coincided with the time in the original story, the group encountered the Snake Grandma from the Peerless Dragon Snake and Snake Sect and her granddaughter Meng Yiran during their search for Soul Ring.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu were exploring the path on both sides when suddenly a thousand-year-old Soul Beast rapidly approached them.

After being reminded by Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun unleashed a pair of flames on his back and flew directly into the air towards the thousand-year-old Soul Beast.

Upon closer inspection, Ma Hongjun discovered that it was Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent was about 1,500 years old.

However, this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent seemed to be running away, hiding from something.

No matter what danger the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent might encounter, as long as it could pose a threat to his team, Ma Hongjun would definitely take action.

However, Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Bloodline has now been purified under the effect of the Phoenix Nirvana Pill. When the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent noticed Ma Hongjun in front of it and felt the terrifying aura he was emitting, it immediately wanted to run away.

However, Ma Hongjun would not give it that chance. Flames surged across Ma Hongjun's body, and his Soul Power condensed to unleash a huge fiery Phoenix claw imprint, directly suppressing the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent to the ground.

The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent was scorched by Ma Hongjun's terrifying Phoenix Flame and writhed violently on the ground. However, since Ma Hongjun was now at level 46, the small Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent had no chance to resist.

After capturing the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, Ma Hongjun shouted to Oscar at the back of the group, "Boss, this is a 1,500-year-old Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent. What should we do with it?"

Oscar raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Now that he was already level 48, he naturally didn't need to use the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent as his Third Spirit Ring, just like in the original story.

So Oscar replied, "We don't need it, let it go."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun nodded and was about to release the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, but before Ma Hongjun could make a move, an old voice came from afar.

"Have mercy." As soon as the words were spoken, two figures darted out from the direction from which the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent had flown and appeared in front of everyone.

The two people, one old and one young, were both women. The older one looked to be in her sixties or seventies, with her full head of white hair neatly combed. Despite her age, she was remarkably spry.

The old woman's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. In her right hand she gripped a two-meter-long snake-head cane, and six Soul Ring— one white, two yellow, two purple, and one black—pulsated rhythmically around her.

The old woman's body remained unchanged, but her Soul Ring indicated that she had already used her own Martial Soul. Without a doubt, the snake-shaped cane in her hand must be her Martial Soul.

Beside the old woman was a beautiful young girl with short, ear-length hair. She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, and her neat, fitted outfit tightly covered her well-developed figure. Her large, dark brown eyes were fixed on the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent controlled by Ma Hongjun.

She also held a snake-headed cane, but it was shorter than the old woman's, and her Soul Ring were only two hundred-year-old Yellow Spirit Ring.

The moment the old man and the young man appeared, Oscar had already moved to the front of the group. After glancing at the two, he made up his mind.

Oscar slowly spoke, "Senior, is there a problem?"

Meanwhile, Flender and Zhao Wuji, who were in the middle of the group, had already guessed what was going on after seeing the old woman's Martial Soul, but they didn't say anything because they believed that Oscar could solve the problem.

Moreover, even if something unexpected happens, with the two Soul Douluo here, protecting these Little Monster shouldn't be a problem.

The old woman coughed to soften her expression. "Hello, I think you don't need to let this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent go, because it is the prey we are hunting. My granddaughter has now broken through to level 30 and needs a suitable Third Spirit Ring."

Upon hearing this, Oscar calmly walked up to the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent and indeed saw several marks from being struck by a sharp weapon.

Oscar then said to the old woman, "We are all Soul Master. Since this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent is useful to you, Senior, let's do you a favor."

Hearing this, the old woman's smile widened even more, "In that case, thank you very much."

Oscar said to Ma Hongjun, "Hongjun, let's leave this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent to this senior and continue on our way."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun nodded and withdrew his Soul Power. The enormous fiery Phoenix Claw disappeared. Just as the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent was about to escape, the old woman extended her snake-shaped cane and subdued the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.

Oscar then said, "Then we won't bother you any longer, senior."

After Oscar finished speaking, he was about to lead everyone away, since the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent was really of no use to them, so it was better to let them have their way.

However, just as Oscar and the others were about to leave, the old woman spoke again, "Child, I cannot accept your kindness for nothing. I have some reputation in the Spirit Master World. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can mention the names of Dragon Duke and Snake Grandma."

Oscar paused for a moment upon hearing this, then asked in surprise, "Senior is the Snake Granny, the famous Peerless Dragon Snake and Snake Grandma master in the Spirit Master World?"

Upon hearing this, the old woman waved her hand and said, "It's just an empty reputation."

Oscar said with great delight, "I have long heard of your esteemed name, senior, but I never expected to meet you today. It is truly an honor for me."

"However, we came to the Star Dou Great Forest this time to help our classmates obtain Soul Ring, so we are in a bit of a hurry. If we have the opportunity in the future, we will definitely visit you in person."

The Snake Grandma smiled and said, "In that case, I won't take up any more of your time."

After Oscar and the others left, the girl next to Snake Grandma watched them Oscar with a somewhat unfocused gaze.

Noticing her granddaughter's expression, the Snake Grandma couldn't help but tease her, "Yiran, everyone's already gone far away. Go absorb your Third Spirit Ring."

Upon hearing this, Meng Yiran glanced at her grandmother with embarrassment, then dealt with the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, sat cross-legged, and began absorbing the Soul Ring.

Snake Grandma could easily see that these young people were all exceptionally talented. Take that kid with the Fire Attribute Martial Soul, for example; he was able to easily subdue a thousand-year-old Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, which meant he was no ordinary person.

However, Snake Grandma also noticed that the two middle-aged men in Oscar's group, whom even she couldn't see through, were at least stronger than her.

So even when she encountered this group of exceptionally talented children, she didn't want to make a fool of herself; she could simply try to build a good relationship with them.

Oscar didn't care about the Dragon Duke and Snake Grandma at the moment, but because he encountered the Snake Grandma and Meng Yiran, Oscar remembered something important.

In the original novel, it seems that Tang San obtained the External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, around this time, right?

Now that Tang San is training according to the training plan Oscar gave him, his Third Spirit Ring naturally has no chance with the Man Faced Demon Spider. However, if he can encounter the External Soul Bone that produces the Eight Spider Lances, wouldn't that be an unexpected gain?

Besides Tang San, Dugu Yan is also very suitable for the Eight Spider Lances. The poison, devouring, and terrain-ignoring abilities are all very compatible with Dugu Yan's strength.

If Dugu Yan could obtain the Eight Spider Lances, it would greatly enhance her strength.

So Oscar was thinking, how could he possibly have a chance to obtain the Eight Spider Lances?
