External Soul Bone: Six-Winged Sky Dragon Wings! Suppressing All Evil!

[Scene Shift · An Ultimate Assault on the Senses]

The Heavenly Screen gave Tang San no chance to catch his breath. The scene instantly switched to the comparison of the opportunity soul masters coveted most—External Soul Bones!

[Original World · Star Dou Great Forest · Night]

On the left side of the screen was a grim and terrifying scene.

Tang San, having just absorbed a two-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider soul ring, was curled up on the ground in agony.

"Ugh—!!!"

With a piercing scream, the clothes on Tang San's back exploded apart.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Eight purple-black spider legs covered in barbs and bristles, dripping nauseating mucus, forcibly burst out from both sides of Tang San's spine!

The scene was like something out of an alien parasite infestation, bloody and grotesque.

Not only were these eight spider lances hideous, but they also continuously dripped purple venom.

As the venom fell onto the ground, it immediately let out a sizzling corrosion sound, melting even the rocks into black holes.

At that moment, Tang San's eyes glowed red. Crawling on the ground, he looked every bit like a half-human, half-spider monster!

[Real World · Audience Seats]

"Blech..."

Quite a few female soul masters covered their mouths and began dry-heaving at the sight.

"Oh my god, this... this is the so-called 'External Soul Bone'?

That's disgusting!"

"What kind of soul master is that?

He's clearly a Fallen One!

Look at that venom, look at that appearance—he looks more like a soul beast than a soul beast!"

"Didn't he just claim to be righteous?

What proper soul master grows eight spider legs?

It's horrifying just to look at!"

Hearing the waves of disgust from all around, Tang San's face turned livid.

Tang San subconsciously touched his back.

The Eight Spider Lances he had once been so proud of, the ones that had repeatedly turned defeat into victory, now felt like thorns in his back, like some filthy thing that could not bear the light of day.

That was for survival!

That was for strength!

Only by staying alive did one earn the right to talk about aesthetics!

Tang San roared madly in his heart, trying to numb himself with practicality.

Yet in the next moment, the holy light that lit up on the Right Side of the Heavenly Screen shattered his "practicality" to pieces!

[Current World · Clear Sky Sect · Cloud Top Palace]

On the right side of the screen, a world-shaking battle had just come to an end.

A Six-Winged Sky Dragon more than a hundred meters long, its entire body covered in brilliant golden scales, had betrayed the Dragon Clan and defected to the Abyss. It had been surrounded and exterminated by the Clear Sky Sect's experts.

(In this world, the plot had begun to diverge from the moment Tang Shan transmigrated here. The Abyss from Douluo 3 had also approached Douluo Planet at this time, but because the God Realm existed, it only dared to lurk in the shadows.)

In the end, Tang Shan wielded the Clear Sky Hammer and settled the matter with a single strike, smashing the Sinful Dragon's head apart!

As the giant dragon fell, an incomparably holy golden light rose from its corpse. It was a reward bestowed by the gods, as well as the condensed essence of the Dragon Clan's bloodline.

"Shan'er, absorb it!"

Tang Hao's authoritative voice rang out.

Tang Shan sat cross-legged among the clouds, bathed in golden light.

This time, there were no heart-rending screams, no bloody flesh bursting apart.

There was only sacred chanting that resounded between heaven and earth.

Bzzz—!!!

One pair, two pairs, three pairs!

A full three pairs of enormous dragon wings, as though cast from pure gold, slowly spread open behind Tang Shan!

Every feather flowed with radiant divine power. When the wings spread, they spanned a full ten meters, and with the slightest flap, golden ripples spread through space.

At that moment, Tang Shan floated in midair, six wings unfurled behind him like a sun god descending into the mortal world—majestic, sacred, and inviolable!

[Attributes: Extreme Light, Extreme Divinity, Space Travel, Immunity to All Laws!]

[Additional Skills: Light Speed Flight, Divine Purification (Suppresses All Evil and Deadly Poisons)!]

[Comparison Summary!]

Left Side: A dark, crawling spider monster that survived by relying on poison and devouring life force. Feared by people and dreaded by ghosts, it had the unmistakable style of an Evil Soul Master.

Right Side: A Son of God soaring through the heavens, judging the world with holiness and light. Revered by all, surrounded by auspicious radiance—a perfect protagonist template.

"So this is... the difference?"

Feng Xiaotian looked at the dazzling six wings on the Heavenly Screen, then at the Gale Wings he had always been proud of. He shook his head bitterly.

"Compared to his, my wings look like they were made by sticking wild chicken feathers on."

As for Tang San, the person involved, he had completely shut down.

What drove him into the deepest despair was not the difference in appearance, but that line from the narration—

[Divine Purification (Suppresses All Evil and Deadly Poisons)].

"Suppresses... all deadly poisons?"

Tang San stared fixedly at those words. His teeth ground together, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

The greatest reliance of his Eight Spider Lances was their poison and devouring ability.

Yet Tang Shan's wings had been born specifically to counter him!

If the two of them fought, Tang Shan might not even need to attack. He would only need to spread his wings, and that holy radiance could purify Tang San's Eight Spider Lances into useless scraps!

I refuse to accept this... I refuse to accept it!!

Tang San's heart bled as he roared inwardly.

Why!

Why was he a spider while the other was a sky dragon?

Why did he wield deadly poison while the other wielded holiness?

This all-encompassing suppression felt as though heaven itself were deliberately toying with him!

However, the blows were far from over.

Just when Tang San thought this was already the limit, the Heavenly Screen shifted again. A line of even more eye-catching words emerged, heralding that the next comparison would involve the most fundamental domain of soul masters—

[Comparison Continues!]

[Event Seven: Guidance from Famous Teachers and Cultivation Resources!]

[Original World: Master Yu Xiaogang's "Ten Core Competencies" and Radish and Pickles!]

[Current World: Personal Guidance from Great-Grandfather Tang Chen, Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Jelly, and Dragon Tooth Rice!]

[Original World · Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy · Master's Dormitory]

On the left side of the screen, beneath a dim oil lamp.

Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, looking profoundly mysterious as he gazed at the young Tang San before him.

Several worn notebooks sat on the table, along with two shriveled radishes and a small dish of pickles.

"Xiao San, you must remember: there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters."

Yu Xiaogang spoke earnestly. Then he picked up a radish and took a bite before continuing to impart his theories.

"According to my 'Ten Core Competencies,' although Blue Silver Grass is weak, it possesses limitless potential precisely because it is weak.

You can take the control-system path and add poison attributes, entanglement attributes..."

Tang San listened with rapt attention, his eyes full of admiration.

"Teacher, you know so much!"

Afterward, master and disciple finished the radishes with the pickles. Tang San then sat cross-legged on the hard wooden bed and began cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Without medicinal aids for cultivation or a mimetic cultivation environment, Tang San's cultivation speed was not fast. Every trace of increased Soul Power came with arduous sweat.
