Fourth Soul Ring, Ten Thousand Year Cave Demon Spider

After a bout of dizziness, Yu Xiaogang found himself standing within the Sunset Forest.

The scorching sun beat down, causing wisps of heat to rise from the forest floor, severely limiting Yu Xiaogang's senses as if he were trapped in a giant steamer.

Yu Xiaogang quickly circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and a cool sensation immediately spread throughout his body.

He then activated Martial Soul Possession and Purple Demon Eye, completely negating the environmental effects.

The area was eerily quiet, but Yu Xiaogang dared not slacken in the slightest. He tightly gripped the Godly Zhuge Crossbow in his right hand, his eyes, glowing with purple light, constantly scanning his surroundings.

Suddenly, a pair of thick spider legs emerged from the ground, surging with gray soul power. They lunged towards Yu Xiaogang's legs like a pair of scythes.

Thanks to the keen perception of the Purple Demon Eye, Yu Xiaogang had detected the abnormality in the ground a moment before the attack. He immediately used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to evade the strike.

The spider legs on the ground slowly retracted underground after missing their target. Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang dared not act rashly and remained in place, observing his surroundings.

Not long after, the pair of spider legs pierced the ground again, attacking Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang again detected the abnormality in the ground beforehand and used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to escape. However, this time the spider legs retracted much faster, and a slight tremor followed from the ground.

As Yu Xiaogang escaped several meters away and reappeared in solid form, a pair of spider legs then thrust out from underground, snipping towards Yu Xiaogang's legs like a giant pair of scissors.

Fortunately, the attack speed was not fast. With his sharp perception and excellent body control, Yu Xiaogang reacted swiftly, using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to dodge the attack.

The spider legs retracted underground once more, and the ground began to tremble.

After this repeated several times, when Yu Xiaogang next finished using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and stopped in place, the expected pair of spider legs did not emerge from the ground beneath his feet. Silence fell upon the area once more.

However, this silence did not last long. The next moment, several yellow threads sliced through the ground and wrapped around Yu Xiaogang's location.

These threads converged with extreme speed. Even with the Purple Demon Eye at the Microscopic realm, Yu Xiaogang could barely catch a glimpse of an illusion, let alone react in time.

In an instant, the threads coalesced into a cage, firmly trapping Yu Xiaogang within. These threads solidified upon contact with the air, instantly becoming as hard as steel.

This was the signature skill of the Cave Demon Spider, Spider Web Prison.

Yu Xiaogang was no stranger to this move and was mentally prepared. He immediately opened the Magic Spider Compound Eye on his forehead and began to charge his right arm holding the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, ready to aim and fire at any moment.

Boom!

A massive gray figure erupted from beneath the ground behind Yu Xiaogang.

The instant he heard the sound, Yu Xiaogang activated the Magic Spider Compound Eye, unleashing the Spirit Shock attack that condensed all of its soul power.

An invisible spiritual ripple emanated from the Magic Spider Compound Eye on Yu Xiaogang's forehead, spreading out in all directions.

Upon being struck by this invisible wave, the Cave Demon Spider instantly fell into a state of dizziness, its body freezing in mid-air.

Yu Xiaogang had already turned around. His eyes, slightly weary from soul power exhaustion, were filled with anticipation.

But when he saw the posture of the Cave Demon Spider suspended in mid-air, his face immediately showed a look of dejection.

"What a pity, it didn't expose its abdomen. I was too optimistic to expect to succeed in the lottery on the first try."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head, but still pulled the trigger of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow in an instant.

Click, click!

A series of mechanical explosions followed, and in the next moment, more than a dozen arrows, a mixture of Bone Piercing Arrows and Seven Kill Arrows, shot out from the crossbow's magazine, piercing into the head area of the Cave Demon Spider.

However, the Cave Demon Spider, with its cultivation reaching ten thousand years, had an exceptionally hard outer shell. Even with the enhanced Godly Zhuge Crossbow, it was difficult to penetrate.

After the arrowheads of these more than a dozen Bone Piercing Arrows and Seven Kill Arrows managed to embed themselves halfway, the entire arrow shaft vibrated slightly and completely lost its momentum.

The Cave Demon Spider awoke in pain, falling from mid-air to the ground. It immediately sprang up from the ground, swinging its pair of thick forelimbs, and slashed forcefully at Yu Xiaogang within the spider web prison.

The spider webs, originally as hard as steel, became soft again under the influence of the Cave Demon Spider's mental power.

A pair of spider legs easily broke through the cage and slashed towards Yu Xiaogang's waist inside.

Inside the dormitory.

Yu Xiaogang's consciousness returned to his body. He touched his waist and, after a slight recovery, clicked on the Entry mission again.

[Click on the Entry "10000 Year Cave Demon Spider Soul Ring", start the corresponding mission: Enter the Illusion Realm, defeat the 10000 Year Cave Demon Spider.]

"Let's keep grinding. If I try enough times, I'll eventually get it."

Yu Xiaogang closed his eyes, and his consciousness was once again drawn into the panel.

After more than ten minutes, Yu Xiaogang opened his eyes. The expression on his face was clearly a little helpless. After a moment of recovery, he clicked on the Entry mission again.

He repeated this process, grinding through the night. During this time, Yu Xiaogang gradually discovered some patterns. By the morning of the second day, he finally hit the jackpot.

In the Illusion Realm, Yu Xiaogang turned around, looking forward with eager anticipation.

He saw the Cave Demon Spider in mid-air rapidly approaching the location of the cage. Its forelimbs had even landed on the cage's silk threads.

However, this posture also happened to expose its abdomen. Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up, and he immediately aimed and pulled the trigger.

Click, click!

Accompanied by the explosive sound of the trigger mechanism, more than a dozen crossbow bolts instantly flew out, turning into streaks of cold light, piercing into the Cave Demon Spider's body.

After landing, the Cave Demon Spider immediately curled into a ball and began to roll frantically on the spot.

The spider web prison that had originally restrained Yu Xiaogang, due to its strong and sturdy nature, now became Yu Xiaogang's shelter.

In this way, the Cave Demon Spider's movements became increasingly sluggish, and then it stiffened in place.

[Task Complete. Acquired 10000 Year Cave Demon Spider Soul Ring]

[Please select an operation for the Soul Ring: 1. Absorb 2. Decompose]

Consciousness returned to his body. Yu Xiaogang looked at the prompt information that popped up on the panel. Without hesitation, he selected "Absorb," and then in the Martial Soul page that popped up, he selected Luo Sanpao.

Yu Xiaogang waved his hand gently, releasing Luo Sanpao in front of him. A Black Soul Ring then floated out from the panel and landed on the chubby figure before him.

Time ticked by, and as the sunlight shone into the room from the window, the absorption of the Soul Ring finally concluded.

Information simultaneously appeared in Yu Xiaogang's mind.

Fourth Soul Skill: "Fart like a black cloud, a smoke prison for Luo Sanpao."

Release dense black mist, forming a black cloud with a diameter of at least ten meters. Once the black cloud envelops an enemy, it can greatly weaken the opponent's five senses, causing them to lose their way within the black cloud.

"As expected, it's a group control type Soul Skill."

Yu Xiaogang nodded. He then got out of bed, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room, ready to begin his teaching work for the day.

Although he hadn't slept all night, Yu Xiaogang was in a good mood, feeling the strength growing within him.

He looked at the rising sun in the East, his eyes reflecting a golden hue.

"Another day full of motivation."
