Breakthrough Level 30, First Battle Man Faced Demon Spider

In the early morning, as the eastern sky turned a pale white, Yu Xiaogang had already arrived on the rooftop.

This time, he wasn't cultivating the Purple Demon Eye, but was waiting for someone.

Before long, a young man in casual blue clothes walked out of the house. With a leap, he lightly jumped from the ground onto the rooftop.

Yu Xiaogang smiled as he looked. As expected, it was his precious disciple, Tang San.

Upon seeing his teacher, Tang San's face immediately lit up with joy.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, then jumped off the rooftop and, under the cover of no one around, sneaked into the small grove next to the academy.

They began a detailed study of Tang San's body!

Oh, no, to be precise, it was a study of Tang San's newly acquired soul ring and soul bone!

The research continued until morning. When the sun rose in the east and its new light spread across the land, Yu Xiaogang finally brought Tang San back to the academy.

After breakfast, Flender gathered all the teachers and students in the academy, introduced their identities one by one, and officially handed over the academy's teaching work to Yu Xiaogang.

Upon hearing this news, except for Tang San and Xiao Wu, the remaining five members of the Seven Devils cast inquiring glances at Yu Xiaogang, but they had no doubts in their hearts.

This was because the Five Devils had just heard with their own ears that the Master before them was Tang San's teacher.

In the action of going to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts this time, Tang San's displayed strength and character were both admirable.

Therefore, they were filled with anticipation for Yu Xiaogang's tutelage.

To give the students enough buffer time, Yu Xiaogang announced that they were dismissed for the day and would officially begin teaching tomorrow.

The morning would be for combat practice, and the afternoon for physical training.

To prevent the Seven Devils' bodies from suffering hidden injuries due to excessive training, Yu Xiaogang reviewed Bibi Dong's cultivation data and found a medicinal soup that nourished the body for the Seven Devils to use for herbal baths.

From early morning until evening, the Seven Devils spent a fulfilling day under Yu Xiaogang's command. Yu Xiaogang himself, after finishing his teaching work during the day, began his own cultivation at night.

In a somewhat simple wooden house, Yu Xiaogang sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes closed, circulating the soul power within his body.

His face was slightly contorted, as if something was pressing down on his body. He was clearly experiencing a sense of stagnation, as if he had fallen into some kind of bottleneck.

But Yu Xiaogang did not give up. He gritted his teeth and persisted, pushing the circulation of soul power within his body with all his might, even though at the end, the speed of soul power circulation was close to a turtle's crawl.

After an unknown amount of time, just as Yu Xiaogang was about to collapse from exhaustion, a crisp sound suddenly rang in his ears.

At that moment, it was as if a plug had been pushed out of Yu Xiaogang's body. The soul power, which had been slow like a turtle's crawl, suddenly became light and cheerful.

Yu Xiaogang, guided by inspiration, immediately adjusted the circulation route of his cultivation technique. The soul power then flowed throughout his body in a new way. His entire body was like parched earth receiving rain, and all his muscles began to tremble rhythmically, while his bones and joints creaked.

More than ten minutes later, the changes in his body gradually subsided.

Yu Xiaogang opened his eyes, a thought flickered, and he activated the System Panel, bringing up his Personal Homepage.

[Name: Yu Xiaogang]

[Soul Power: Level 30]

[Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao, Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon]

[Skills: Mysterious Heaven Skill - Third Level (100%), Purple Demon Eye - Foresight (60%), Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track - Minor Accomplishment (60%), Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon - Minor Accomplishment (60%)]

"Finally broke through to level thirty!"

After receiving confirmation from the system, Yu Xiaogang let out a breath, his expression finally relaxing.

The original body had been stuck at the bottleneck of level thirty for many years, unable to advance. This time, he had cultivated his soul power anew through Mysterious Heaven Skill. Since his transmigration, he had worked hard for six years, and fortunately, he had broken through tonight.

However, the joy on his face didn't last long before Yu Xiaogang fell into thought again.

He had originally thought that after awakening the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, his cultivation aptitude would greatly improve. But after six years of cultivation, his current cultivation speed hadn't improved much compared to the original body.

The Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul granted by the system had indeed improved his martial soul aptitude. To break through the level thirty barrier tonight, half the credit belonged to Mysterious Heaven Skill, and the other half belonged to the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.

It was just that the improvement brought by the martial soul had not reached the expected effect. The reason for this was Yu Xiaogang's age.

In his youth, martial soul aptitude was Yu Xiaogang's only obstacle to cultivation. But now, he was over forty years old.

This Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul had come too late!

Yu Xiaogang shook his head helplessly, "To completely solve the aptitude problem, I can only rely on the immortal medicines from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well later."

He lightly touched the panel with his index finger and slid down, selecting the newly updated entry and choosing Challenge Mission.

[Selected Entry "2000 Year Man Faced Demon Spider Spirit Ring", initiating corresponding mission: Enter Illusion Realm, defeat the 2000 Year Man Faced Demon Spider]

The scene shifted, and Yu Xiaogang found himself in the Star Dou Great Forest.

In the sky, a bright moon cast its light, making the surrounding scenery appear hazy.

A rustling sound came from all around. Yu Xiaogang immediately became alert, fully activating Purple Demon Eye to scan his surroundings.

With the enhancement of Purple Demon Eye, Yu Xiaogang keenly captured streaks of dark black afterimages.

He quickly adjusted his stance. Suddenly, a huge black shadow lunged at him from directly in front.

The shadow moved extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it was within one meter of him.

Yu Xiaogang instinctively activated Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, his body flashing nimbly, barely dodging the attack. He then transformed into two afterimages and fled in opposite directions.

Seeing this, the black shadow stopped and observed carefully.

Two phantoms dissipated after fleeing ten meters, one in the moonlight vanishing quickly, while the other, in the shadows, solidified back into a physical form.

Yu Xiaogang was already drenched in a cold sweat. He looked up and saw a black spider, nearly 1.5 meters in size, slowly turning towards him.

Under the moonlight, its eight thick black spider legs pierced the ground like sharp lances, propelling its body forward.

"Seeing is truly believing, Man Faced Demon Spider."

Yu Xiaogang immediately activated Martial Soul Avatar and released Luo Sanpao, hiding it within the surrounding forest.

Then, he unleashed his first soul skill, Thunderous Poison Dragon Claw, preparing to attack at any moment.

After adjusting its body, the Man Faced Demon Spider slowly raised its body, revealing the White Markings beneath its abdomen.

It was a hideous, ugly human face, and with the enhancement of Purple Demon Eye, Yu Xiaogang clearly saw eight Ghost Purple eyes growing within the human face.

All eight eyes were now fixed on him, glinting with a playful light.

Yu Xiaogang's expression immediately darkened. This posture was a provocative act by the Man Faced Demon Spider when hunting prey.

It indicated that during the recent probing, this Man Faced Demon Spider had already determined that the human before it was already its meal.

"Damn it, looking down on me, huh!"

Yu Xiaogang immediately became angry. Just then, the Man Faced Demon Spider opposite him moved in a very peculiar way.

Another Dark Black afterimage flashed past. Yu Xiaogang once again used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, intending to confuse its vision.

But this time, the Man Faced Demon Spider was prepared. It crouched low to the ground, its eight abdominal eyes dividing into two groups, rapidly scanning in the two directions the phantom was fleeing.

Then, as if it had discovered something, it immediately charged towards one of the phantoms.

Yu Xiaogang had just finished his move and solidified when he saw the Man Faced Demon Spider charging right at him.

With no other choice, he could only unleash Thunderous Poison Dragon Claw, swinging out two claw energies, and then use Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track again to escape.

Clang!

Two metallic impacts immediately sounded. The claw energies left two gashes on the Man Faced Demon Spider's legs. The spider let out a pained cry as it felt the pain.

Yu Xiaogang rejoiced inwardly. Since the claw energies could break its defense, he had a chance to kill it if he could make Thunderous Poison Dragon Claw attack the Man Faced Demon Spider's abdomen.

However, as good as the idea was, reality was harsh. After he repeated the tactic of claw energy + Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, a hit-and-run maneuver, several times, the Man Faced Demon Spider was completely enraged.

After detecting Yu Xiaogang's escape direction once more, the Man Faced Demon Spider did not pounce. Instead, it spat a Light Cluster towards that direction.

The Light Cluster opened in mid-air, transforming into a Black Net about five meters in diameter, attempting to firmly ensnare the phantom ahead.

"Farting like thunder, shaking heaven and earth, Luo Sanpao."

Early in the morning, Luo Sanpao, hidden in the woods, flew out from behind Yu Xiaogang and unleashed a strong gust of air towards the Black Net flying in front.

Boom!

The strong impact successfully blew away the Black Net in mid-air, but the Yellow Mist released by Luo Sanpao obscured the vision on the field.

Yu Xiaogang's spirit power was already depleted. He couldn't help but frown, warily surveying his surroundings.

Suddenly, a Black Net broke through the mist and flew towards him.

Yu Xiaogang mobilized his remaining spirit power and used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track one last time, barely escaping the net's range.

But before he could celebrate, another Black Net flew over.

Helpless, Yu Xiaogang could only watch as he was ensnared by the net. He then swung his Thunderous Poison Dragon Claw, trying to tear through the Black Net.

But things didn't go as planned. These dragon claws, capable of breaking through the defenses of the Man Faced Demon Spider's main body, were now unable to cut through the net's threads.

As Yu Xiaogang struggled, the Black Net began to tighten, wrapping him up like a zongzi.

At the same time, the net had a strong corrosive effect, and black poisonous mist continuously emanated from it. After just a few breaths, Yu Xiaogang felt his limbs go weak, and his already depleted spirit power completely stagnated.

Martial Soul Possession was forcibly dispelled. Yu Xiaogang collapsed powerlessly on the ground, his clothes corroded away, leaving bloody marks on his skin.

The Man Faced Demon Spider had now arrived before him, its eight eyes beneath its abdomen staring at him with amusement.

It elegantly raised a spider leg and plunged it towards its prey on the ground.
