Are You Luck's Father?

Three days later.

Under the combined detection of the Seven Kill Domain and Profound Heavy Domain.

The group finally found a Flame Sun Eagle between twenty-eight thousand and thirty thousand years old.

At the border between the Mixed Zone and the Core Zone.

Qin Ming spent half a day absorbing it and obtained a Soul Skill—Azure Wolf Sacred Fire Fall.

Its effect was similar to White Tiger Meteor Shower.

But their power was utterly incomparable.

After all, Qin Ming's flames had been purified by the Crested Phoenix Sunflower and were only a hair away from Ultimate Fire.

Qin Ming's Soul Power, on the other hand, was quite ordinary, only at the usual rank sixty-one.

Qin Ming himself was immensely satisfied, his grin nearly reaching his ears.

But Tang Xuan felt a slight regret.

He had initially thought that Qin Ming was too old, so more of the Immortal Herb's medicinal power would manifest in raising his Soul Power rather than transforming his body.

But upon further thought.

Qin Ming was only twenty-nine, still in the prime of his life.

Even if some of the medicinal effect had dissipated, it would not have been much.

After all, the Crested Phoenix Sunflower had already raised Qin Ming's Soul Power by four ranks.

That was not bad at all.

With all that done.

The group did not delay any longer and left the Star Dou Great Forest directly.

They headed for the inn where Blue Sunshine Academy had caused trouble for Shrek in the Original Work, planning to meet up with Dugu Bo and the others.

But the moment they left the forest.

Tang Xuan spotted Dugu Bo in the distance, standing like a Waiting Husband Stone and gazing deep into the forest.

"Ha ha ha, you're finally back! Little Monster, you've truly given me a huge surprise!" Dugu Bo ran over to greet them, his face glowing red.

He looked as though he had become ten years younger, every wrinkle on his old face stretched wide with laughter.

"Old Monster, you're such an old man already. Can't you be a little steadier?" Tang Xuan asked with a deliberately disdainful smile.

"Steady? Yan Yan got an External Soul Bone. How am I supposed to stay steady?" Dugu Bo rolled his eyes and replied irritably.

The moment those words came out.

Apart from Tang Xuan, whose expression did not change at all.

Everyone from Imperial Dou.

Including Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, stood with their mouths slightly open and their eyes vacant.

For an ordinary person, seeing an External Soul Bone even once in a lifetime was already a blessing.

Yet the Imperial Dou Fighting Team had gotten two the moment they appeared?

Was this still Douluo Continent?

After a long while.

Ning Fengzhi was the first to recover. Looking at Tang Xuan's composed expression, a terrifying thought rose in his heart. "Xiao Xuan, did you know all along?"

Though it was a question, Ning Fengzhi was already extremely certain.

After all, Tang Xuan's earlier actions had left him completely baffled.

But now, it seemed Tang Xuan's goal had been incredibly clear.

It had been the Man Faced Demon Spider's External Soul Bone!

Tang Xuan nodded, then shook his head. "I did know, but it was also a matter of luck. That Man Faced Demon Spider was far too unusual. Its intelligence was absurdly high, completely inconsistent with its cultivation and species. And the higher its intelligence, the stronger the resentment it produces upon death. That's why I had Old Monster toy with it and let Sister Yanzi kill it alone, increasing its resentment toward her."

"I understand the reasoning, but why were you so sure it would produce an External Soul Bone?" Ning Fengzhi still did not understand.

Tang Xuan shrugged. "I told you, it was luck. I said long ago that I couldn't be certain either."

Everyone was immediately stunned.

It seemed Tang Xuan really had said something about not being certain.

But then came a wave of speechlessness.

Trying their luck—he made it sound so easy.

Why could no one else ever stumble across one, while he found one the moment he tried?

Was he luck's father or something?

Tang Xuan ignored everyone's wordless expressions and looked at Dugu Yan expectantly. "Sister Yanzi, what part is your External Soul Bone?"

The location where External Soul Bones appeared was far too random and completely uncontrollable.

Though the Soul Bone most likely to come from a Man Faced Demon Spider was its eight spider leg bones.

They should not forget.

The Man Faced Demon Spider's armor was also one of its greatest weapons.

Although, as an External Soul Bone, the specific part did not matter much.

An armor Soul Bone would be far less useful to Dugu Yan than the Eight Spider Soul Bone.

"It is eight spider legs attached to my ribs. Its Soul Bone Skill gives a fifty percent boost to all attributes. It also carries the Man Faced Demon Spider's neurotoxin. I can inject Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison into them as well, making their power increase exponentially," Dugu Yan said.

Eight dark-purple spider legs, faintly tinged with green, extended from her back.

With Dugu Bo's help over the past few days, she had long since completed her fusion with the External Soul Bone.

Not only would it not tear her clothes apart, but she could control it as easily as her own limbs, and even its Soul Bone Skill was already crystal clear to her.

Tang Xuan laughed with abandon at those words.

Same location, same skill.

Now he could be completely certain.

This Man Faced Demon Spider was the one Tang San had gotten in the Original Work.

The Eight Spider Lances and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had both been snatched away. Tang San was crippled by at least half.

His growth rate would drop by at least thirty to fifty percent.

Next, he only needed to make plans for Xiao Wu and the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

Finally, he would find a way to worsen Tang Hao's injuries or make him sever his arm to take the bone.

That little bastard Tang San could be crushed with a flick of his finger!

"First you cured my poison, then you gave me Immortal Herbs, and now you've given us bones twice as well. I truly don't know how to thank you, Little Monster. How about..." Dugu Bo's eyes shifted sneakily between Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan.

The two girls were utterly baffled by his stare.

After this incident.

The thought Dugu Bo had already extinguished.

Of changing his granddaughter's husband rose from the ashes once more.

Tang Xuan shot him a contemptuous look. "Stop spouting nonsense. My grandpa is right here. Do you want to find out whether the Seven Kill Sword is sharp?"

Chen Xin, standing behind them, froze at those words.

His mind had not caught up at all.

But the Seven Kill Sword appeared in his hand as though by instinct.

"Old Poison, what are you trying to do to my grandson?" A hint of danger appeared in Chen Xin's eyes.

"Cough, cough, it has nothing to do with you. This is a secret between Little Monster and me!" Dugu Bo instantly put on a solemn expression.

As he spoke, he kept signaling to Tang Xuan with his eyes.

Although he had become a little carried away after breaking through rank ninety-three.

He was not so carried away that he wanted to test the Seven Kill Sword with his own body.

Besides, if this matter got exposed, the Seven Kill Sword would not be the only thing landing on him.

Tang Xuan held back his laughter and helped Dugu Bo cover it up. "That's right. It's a side effect of Old Monster's detoxification. He is prone to mental confusion."

Chen Xin looked between the two of them suspiciously.

He could tell with his ass that Tang Xuan was talking nonsense.

But it did not seem as though they meant his grandson Tang Xuan any harm.

Only then did he let the matter go.

"All right. Xiao Xuan, Rong Rong, now that we've left the forest and have Senior Dugu escorting you, there should not be any more danger. Uncle Jian and I have matters to attend to, so it is time for us to leave as well," Ning Fengzhi suddenly said.

It had been half a month since his breakthrough, yet he still had not obtained his Eighth Soul Ring.

No matter how patient he was, he should have been anxious by now.

Tang Xuan understood Ning Fengzhi's thoughts as well. "All right, go take care of your business. We'll rest at the inn for the night before returning to the academy."

After living rough for half a month.

Every member of Imperial Dou looked like a savage.

They needed to take a bath at the very least, and have a good meal while they were at it.

Ning Fengzhi nodded.

After nodding in farewell to Dugu Bo and Qin Ming, he stepped onto the Seven Kill Sword.

He circled once through the sky before returning to the Star Dou Great Forest...
