Seizing Tang San's Opportunity Again, Obtaining the Eight Spider Lances!

If Lin Yu remembered correctly, the Man Faced Demon Spider Tang San had hunted was also in the Star Dou Great Forest, and it happened to have the same two-thousand-year cultivation as the one before them!

He wondered whether that Man Faced Demon Spider might be this very one!

Lin Yu quickly made his decision and said to Dugu Yan, "Yanyan! If this Man Faced Demon Spider has a chance of producing an External Soul Bone, do you want to give it a try?"

"What! An External Soul Bone!?"

Qian Renxue, Dugu Yan, and Zhu Zhuqing's expressions all changed drastically.

Dugu Yan asked excitedly, "Lin Yu, is that really possible?"

Her Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul belonged to the poison category, and the Man Faced Demon Spider was likewise a poison-type soul beast. This kind of soul beast was fairly compatible with her martial soul and could be absorbed.

The main issue was that its age was too low—only two thousand years.

But if it could truly produce an External Soul Bone, the benefits it brought would far surpass an additional thousand years on a soul ring!

"Yes! But I can't give you a definite answer or probability. Whether to take the gamble is up to you. All I can say is that this is the closest you'll ever come to obtaining an External Soul Bone!" Lin Yu said gravely.

"Then I'll gamble on it!" Dugu Yan was decisive and immediately made her choice.

If she truly obtained an External Soul Bone, her future potential would become extraordinary!

Her potential and strength would surely undergo a transformation!

"Good! Then we'll help you take it down!"

Lin Yu's sharp gaze locked onto the charging Man Faced Demon Spider. Just as it was about to bite down—

Terrifying flames erupted around Lin Yu!

"Fire Fist!!"

Bang! Boom, boom!

Lin Yu threw a flaming punch.

"Screeeech—!"

The Man Faced Demon Spider let out a pained shriek and was sent crashing to the ground by the fiery blow.

"Yanyan, now!"

"Got it!"

Dugu Yan rushed forward and delivered the finishing blow, killing it.

Pshht!

Then she sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the Man Faced Demon Spider's soul ring.

Lin Yu, Qian Renxue, and Zhu Zhuqing all watched expectantly.

Because External Soul Bones appeared differently from ordinary soul bones.

After a soul beast died, an ordinary soul bone would directly drop as a piece that could be absorbed by oneself or given to someone else. But an External Soul Bone existed within the energy of the soul ring.

By absorbing the soul ring, one simultaneously fused with the External Soul Bone.

Therefore, Lin Yu and the others still did not know whether this Man Faced Demon Spider would yield an External Soul Bone. Everything depended on what happened after Dugu Yan finished absorbing it.

A moment later.

Dugu Yan's Soul Power began to surge, breaking through level 31 in one go.

Then level 32!

And soon after, she broke through to level 33!

But at that moment, a pained expression appeared on Dugu Yan's face, and she cried out, "Aaargh—!"

The next second!

Eight spider legs grew from Dugu Yan's back. They possessed a metallic sheen, each resembling a long spear—sharp and deadly.

"It dropped! It really dropped!!"

Qian Renxue, Zhu Zhuqing, and Lin Shuai were overjoyed.

"The External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances—it really was this one!" A smile appeared on Lin Yu's face as he thought, It seems that in this life, even if I don't personally suppress and punish Tang San, he'll have a hard time causing any major trouble.

The Eight Spider Lances could be said to be one of Tang San's greatest aids throughout his life.

Now that opportunity had gone to Dugu Yan. On top of that, the Immortal Herb resources were under Lin Yu's control. With just these two great opportunities gone, Tang San was already half ruined.

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Congratulations, Yanyan. With this External Soul Bone, not only will your strength increase greatly, but you'll also be able to completely resolve the Poison Backlash inside your body."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, the delighted Dugu Yan asked in confusion, "What do you mean, Lin Yu? Having the Eight Spider Lances means I can completely resolve the Poison Backlash?"

"That's right. You can now force the toxins accumulated in your body into the Eight Spider Lances, then expel them from your body through the Eight Spider Lances. Not only will this completely resolve your Poison Backlash, but those toxins can also make your Eight Spider Lances even more poisonous!"

"In other words, from today onward, the Poison Backlash will no longer threaten your body. Instead, it will become one of your greatest assets!"

Soul bones existed within the body, so toxins could only be forced into a soul bone and could not be expelled from the body through it.

It treated the symptoms, not the root cause.

But an External Soul Bone was like an actual limb of the body—it connected to the body while existing outside it!

By forcing the poison into the External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, it could be expelled through the Eight Spider Lances.

Releasing poison through the Eight Spider Lances not only detoxified the body, but also allowed her to attack with the Eight Spider Lances' toxicity enhanced by the Poison Backlash!

The Eight Spider Lances were a perfect match for Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo!

"So that's how it is—I understand now!" Dugu Yan was overjoyed. She immediately forced the poison into the Eight Spider Lances, then drove them into a nearby tree.

Bang!

She had truly expelled the poison through the tips of the Eight Spider Lances.

The Eight Spider Lances were already highly venomous. Combined with the Poison Backlash within her body, the tree before them was rapidly corroded and rotted away by the terrifying double poison!

"What terrifying toxicity!" Qian Renxue's expression turned grave.

Dugu Yan's combat power was now anything but ordinary. If someone were pierced by her Eight Spider Lances, the consequences would be unimaginable!

She could absolutely crush a Soul Ancestor even across ranks!

Grandfather was right. As long as I follow Lin Yu, perhaps my future can reach heights beyond imagination as well! Dugu Yan rejoiced.

She became even more determined to stay by Lin Yu's side.

"Thank you, Lin Yu!"

Overcome with excitement, Dugu Yan threw herself into Lin Yu's arms.

Seeing this, a flash of coldness immediately passed through Qian Renxue's eyes.

She did not know why, but seeing Dugu Yan hug Lin Yu made Qian Renxue feel extremely displeased.

Qian Renxue directly grabbed Dugu Yan's clothes and forcibly pulled her away. "All right, we should hurry up and find a spirit ring for Lin Yu now."

"Uh, haha... then let's continue on our way." Lin Yu gave an awkward laugh.

The group of five continued onward in search of spirit beasts.

They headed straight into the Inner Area, searching near the boundaries of the Core Area.

After nearly ten days, Lin Yu finally discovered a suitable spirit beast: the Flame Water Spirit Fox.

It was still a spirit beast with both ice and fire attributes.

It was just over forty thousand years old!

"That's the one. Let's do it, Sister Xue'er."

"Okay!"

The two exchanged a glance, their fighting spirit surging.

"Yanyan, stay here and protect Zhuqing!"

"Let's go!"

"Martial Soul Possession!"

"Elemental Angel!"

"Six-Winged Angel!"

The two simultaneously unleashed their Angel Martial Souls, beating their wings as they charged toward the Flame Water Spirit Fox.

A forty-thousand-year spirit beast possessed strength equivalent to a human Soul Saint. Against an opponent of this level, Lin Yu and Qian Renxue had to go all out from the very beginning.

"First Spirit Ability, Elemental Control!"

"Second Spirit Ability, Elemental Body!"

"Angel Domain!"

The two immediately entered their strongest states.

As Qian Renxue's Angel Domain spread out, the Flame Water Spirit Fox's power was instantly suppressed and weakened.

"Kill!"

The two launched their attacks in unison.

"Second Spirit Ability, Angel's Feather!"

Golden energy radiated from Qian Renxue's Angel Wings, rapidly condensing into countless hard, razor-sharp feathers.

They then swept toward the Flame Water Spirit Fox.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Flame Water Spirit Fox dodged Qian Renxue's spirit ability attacks one by one. As it evaded, Lin Yu seized the opportunity and immediately switched to Dark Dominance.

"Darkness Control, Darkness Cage!"

An iron cage solidified from dark energy descended from the sky, successfully pinning and trapping the opponent on the ground.

Lin Yu immediately switched to Wind Dominance.

A Wind Blade sliced toward it.

Though it inflicted some damage, it was not enough to kill it. Enraged by Lin Yu, the fox's eyes turned fierce as it bared its fangs and madly lunged to bite him.

"Lin Yu, meet it head-on!" Qian Renxue shouted.

Lin Yu instantly understood what Qian Renxue intended. The corners of his mouth rose. "Got it!"
