Douluo: Bestowing Ning Rongrong in Marriage, Reward: Heaven Shading Method

"Oscar, Tang San's identity is extremely special. If I want to deal with him, it isn't something I can decide alone. We can only return to the academy before I can get justice for you!"

The pale and somewhat weakened Oscar nodded. Looking at Teacher Zhao Wuji, who seemed to be in a difficult position, he could not help but smile bitterly. "Teacher Zhao Wuji, you're joking. I understand your difficulties. That guy acted like a madman. I only hope you can teach him a lesson and not let him keep doing whatever he wants!"

Watching this scene from the side, Ning Rongrong's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

She had not expected Tang San to suddenly attack and injure Oscar.

This abnormal turn of events still felt utterly unbelievable to her.

"What is there to say to someone like him? I suggest we return to the academy and expel him immediately. Someone who casually injures his teammates does not deserve to remain at Shrek Academy!"

Hearing Ning Rongrong say this, Zhu Zhuqing beside her nodded in agreement. "That's right, Teacher Zhao Wuji. Today, he dared to casually injure Oscar. Perhaps after he becomes stronger, he'll injure you too. You must take this seriously. When we return, discuss it with Headmaster Flender. A black sheep like this cannot remain at Shrek Academy!"

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, both standing with their arms folded, shook their heads slightly. Seeing things develop to this point, they did not know what to say either.

After all, they had some understanding of Tang San, yet they had never expected him to become so estranged from everyone that he would injure Oscar over a Soul Ring.

"I will consider this matter. You don't understand all the twists and turns involved. Only after we return to Shrek Academy will we have a chance to deal with him!"

Teacher Zhao Wuji nodded with an unpleasant expression. Seeing how indignant the children were, he comforted them, "Let's head deeper into the forest now. That guy could not have escaped far. We can also look for traces of the two of them!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded and headed deeper into the forest.

Meanwhile, amid a stretch of mountains in the Star Dou Great Forest, the injured Man Faced Demon Spider quietly arrived. Extremely vigilant, it glanced around before crawling onto a patch of grass to rest.

Turning back to look at the wound on one of its feelers, a glint of killing intent appeared in its eyes.

Just as it was about to lick its wound, an incomparably powerful surge of Soul Power suddenly crushed down from all around.

After sensing that powerful Soul Power pressure, the terrified Man Faced Demon Spider seemed to have encountered the overlord among Soul Beasts. Its entire body sprawled across the ground, not daring to move.

The next second, Xiao Wu, dressed in pink, emerged from the woods alongside Ye Xingchen.

"Go ahead, Brother Ye. I've already restrained it. No one nearby will discover us!"

"Once you absorb its Soul Ring, you'll become a Soul Elder!"

Ye Xingchen, standing with his arms folded, nodded. Looking at the Man Faced Demon Spider before him, he did not waste any words and immediately strode forward.

After all, this creature was a coveted prize in many people's eyes. If he did not quickly absorb it while he had the chance, it would soon become a case of too many people fighting over too little!

"Roar..."

Terrified and helpless, the Man Faced Demon Spider let out a low growl as it watched Ye Xingchen approach.

Yet as the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul slowly pressed down above its head, an immensely powerful force immediately suppressed it beneath it.

Sitting cross-legged, Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and released his Soul Ring, absorbing the Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Power.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu shook her head and promptly set down a barrier to guard the area.

"Ding! Man Faced Demon Spider Soul Ring detected. Would you like to activate the second Martial Soul?"

A second Martial Soul?

Hearing the system's sudden prompt, Ye Xingchen could not help feeling slightly surprised.

He lowered his head and glanced at the system storage. The Martial Soul Lottery had automatically begun giving off a thread of golden light:

"Host: Ye Xingchen!"

"Physique: Minor Success Chaos Body!"

"Sky Covering Realm: Mid-Stage Other Shore of the Sea of Bitterness!"

"Douluo Realm: Level 29 Soul Grandmaster!"

"Martial Soul: Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul!"

"Storage: 100,000 Spiritual Qi! Martial Soul Lottery!"

"Soul Skills: Crashing Waves! Ten Thousand Ton Gravity Domain! Tiger Roars in the Forest!"

Ye Xingchen still remembered that after obtaining the Martial Soul Lottery last time, he had received the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul.

As for this Martial Soul Lottery, he had not activated it because he had never found a suitable opportunity.

Now that the Martial Soul Lottery was automatically emitting golden light, it proved that the right opportunity had arrived.

He shook his head and immediately chose to open the Martial Soul Lottery:

"Mutated Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul!"

"Wushi Bell Martial Soul!"

"Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul!"

"Immortal Slaying Four Swords Martial Soul!"

As something resembling a needle continuously swung back and forth above it, Ye Xingchen's heart rose and fell along with it.

After all, whichever Martial Soul he drew would become his second Martial Soul from then on.

"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the Immortal Slaying Four Swords Martial Soul!"

The Immortal Slaying Four Swords Martial Soul?

As the system's notification sounded, Ye Xingchen was instantly overjoyed.

These Immortal Slaying Four Swords were four weapons of slaughter forged by Lingbao Tianzun in Shrouding the Heavens.

Combined with a powerful formation diagram, they could nearly suppress a Great Emperor—and even killing one would not be out of the question.

He scratched his head, thinking that if he paired them with the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul, along with these four swords of slaughter...

With offense and defense combined, once he stood at the pinnacle, who in the entire Douluo Continent could possibly be his match?

"System, now that I've obtained the Immortal Slaying Four Swords, does that mean this Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring will go to them?"

System: "Based on the current situation, that is indeed the arrangement. The Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul has absorbed the Four Divine Beasts' Soul Rings, so any Soul Rings that do not belong to the Four Divine Beasts series will be absorbed by the Immortal Slaying Four Swords!"

Hearing the system's official explanation, Ye Xingchen finally had a clearer understanding.

He glanced at the Xuanwu and White Tiger totems on the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul, thinking that if he wanted to attach a third Soul Ring to it, he would probably have to find the Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon Soul Rings!

He had originally thought that this Man Faced Demon Spider would become the third Soul Ring that would make him a Soul Elder, but now it seemed that was no longer certain.

"Then let's begin. Let the Immortal Slaying Four Swords absorb the Man Faced Demon Spider!"

As soon as he spoke, the Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring began to tremble under the suppression of the Immortal Slaying Four Swords.

It took hardly any effort before it was completely absorbed by the four swords of slaughter.

"Brother Ye, you're awake! Did you become a Soul Elder?"

Seeing Ye Xingchen awaken, Xiao Wu immediately smiled and hurried over to ask.

"Perhaps there was a slight accident. I don't think I became a Soul Elder."

Ye Xingchen calmly shook his head. He looked at Xiao Wu before releasing his Soul Rings.

The Martial Soul floating above his head was no longer the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul, but the Immortal Slaying Four Swords.

And instead of two Soul Rings, he now had only one.

A Soul Master?

Xiao Wu rubbed her head in disbelief. Looking at Ye Xingchen, who had only one Soul Ring left, she could not help asking curiously:

"What's going on? Why do you only have one Soul Ring left? Weren't you a level 29 Soul Grandmaster before?"

Ye Xingchen folded his arms and smiled faintly. He thought that he was indeed a level 29 Soul Grandmaster, but under the Immortal Slaying Four Swords Martial Soul, he was truly only a Soul Master with a single Soul Ring.

Yet the difference in power between them was like an unbridgeable chasm.

He could sense the immense offensive power represented by the Immortal Slaying Four Swords. If he unleashed all of it, he had no idea just how powerful it would be.

"Don't worry. My body underwent some changes, which is why this strange transformation happened!"

"Didn't you notice that my Martial Soul has changed? I have Twin Martial Souls now too!"

Twin Martial Souls?

Hearing that, Xiao Wu froze slightly and immediately looked above his head. The Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul had indeed vanished, leaving only four crimson longswords.

"That's far too incredible! You actually awakened Twin Martial Souls! It's simply unbelievable!"

As soon as she finished speaking, footsteps suddenly sounded nearby. The barrier then shattered, and Tang San, dressed in blue, quietly arrived before the two of them.

"This Man Faced Demon Spider... was killed by you?"

"I knew this barrier was strange. I never expected it really had been set up by Xiao Wu. You two actually stole my Soul Ring..."

Tang San looked at the dead Man Faced Demon Spider on the ground, and immediately understood what had happened.

Utterly devastated, he spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered back repeatedly.

"Ye Xingchen, why are you doing this to me? Stealing my woman is one thing, stealing my glory is one thing, but now you're even stealing the Soul Ring that belongs to me!"

Feeling somewhat awkward, Ye Xingchen scratched his head. I didn't do any of that, did I?

He had merely happened upon the Man Faced Demon Spider and happened to take it down.

"Grandpa, look! The Man Faced Demon Spider was killed again! My Soul Ring was stolen by someone else again!"

At that moment, Yiran's voice came from not far away. Soon after, Dragon Duke and Snake Grandma arrived as well. When they saw the dead Man Faced Demon Spider on the ground, their expressions became extremely grim.

"You despicable bastards! Which one of you killed this Man Faced Demon Spider? Step forward! I'll grind your bones to dust today!"

Snake Grandma roared in fury, then turned to look at Ye Xingchen before finally fixing her gaze on Tang San, who was lying on the ground.

"It must have been you, you little brat! You're the most suspicious one! Was it you who killed the Man Faced Demon Spider? Even if this old woman has to risk her life, I'll kill you today!"

Tang San: "Listen to my explanation..."

Standing to the side with a bitter expression, Yiran looked at the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse on the ground, and her eyes began to redden.

She had come to the Star Dou Great Forest with her grandfather and grandmother hoping to find a Soul Ring of her own.

Who could have known that through a bizarre twist of fate, the two Soul Rings that should have belonged to her would both be snatched away by others first? The frustration made her feel utterly miserable.

"Grandpa, kill them! I don't want to see these robbers. Both of my Soul Rings are connected to them—they're absolutely detestable!"

Dragon Duke, who had his arms folded, could not help but shift his gaze to Ye Xingchen and Xiao Wu upon hearing this.

Logically speaking, the Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring should have gone to the White-Robed Man.

Because within his Soul Power, Dragon Duke could sense a trace that belonged to the Man Faced Demon Spider.

Yet the Soul Rings released from his body showed that he was only at the Soul Master realm, leaving Dragon Duke utterly baffled.

After all, the Man Faced Demon Spider was over fifteen hundred years old. How could a mere Soul Master possibly obtain its Soul Ring?

Just as he was puzzling over it, waves of whistling suddenly came from nearby. Zhao Wuji led Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others rushing over.

"Husband, you're okay! You scared me to death..."

The moment Ning Rongrong landed and saw Ye Xingchen standing with Xiao Wu, her face immediately blossomed with joy.

Without caring that powerful enemies were nearby, she threw herself straight at Ye Xingchen.

"I'm fine. That Soul Beast didn't do anything to us, so there's no need to worry!"

Seeing Ning Rongrong leap into his arms, Ye Xingchen smiled faintly, rubbed her head, and said with a soft chuckle.

Watching this from the side, Xiao Wu could not help but feel a little envious. Subconsciously, she put some distance between herself and Ye Xingchen.

"Brother Ye, Sister Xiao Wu, it's good that you're both all right. We were just about to go look for you!"

Zhu Zhuqing, her face full of delight, shook her head before walking up to the three of them with a smile.

"I told you two were blessed by fortune and wouldn't come to harm, haha!"

Seeing that Ye Xingchen and Xiao Wu were safe, Zhao Wuji finally let out the breath he had been holding.
