"I seem to be able to use the Eight Spider Lances as a carrier to activate Soul Skills."

Zhu Zhuqing's cool voice suddenly sounded.

"Very reasonable. Although the Eight Spider Lances have not perfectly fused with you, they are also part of you."

Bai Lu nodded gently.

He remembered that in the original work, while the Eight Spider Lances were powerful, they were not compatible with Tang San's abilities.

He had a lot of Soul Skills on his body, yet almost none could be released through the Eight Spider Lances.

"Perfect. Try a Soul Skill."

Bai Lu raised his hand and pointed at a nearby giant stone taller than a person.

"Spirit Cat, possess!"

Zhu Zhuqing immediately summoned her Martial Soul and rushed forward with acceleration.

"Hell... Pierce!"

The third Soul Ring beneath her feet lit up, and all eight spider lances simultaneously emitted dark light. Under the amplification of Hell power, they became unstoppable.

The next moment, the spider lances pierced out like eight bolts of lightning!

"Puchi!"

The spider lances pierced into the giant stone like piercing tofu, easily penetrating it.

The whole process seemed to have encountered no resistance whatsoever.

"Such strong penetration! It feels like the power is at least 50% higher than when I attack directly with my hands!"

Zhu Zhuqing pulled out the spider lances and looked at the smooth, mirror-like cut surface in shock.

She had reason to believe that even the Man Faced Demon Spider itself definitely couldn't withstand two hits from such an attack!

"The Eight Spider Lances themselves have extremely strong penetration. Combined with the armor penetration of Hell Pierce, crushing gold and cutting jade is effortless."

Bai Lu said, "An ordinary Soul Elder who is hit by this move will either die or be seriously injured, and then be corroded by venom..."

It could be said that Zhu Zhuqing using the Eight Spider Lances had more than doubled her overall combat power compared to normal Zhu Zhuqing!

Zhu Zhuqing's face was full of seriousness. "I feel like I am terrifyingly strong now!"

Just imagining herself fighting with the Eight Spider Lances made her feel a little overpowered!

"Being strong is a good thing, and this is only the beginning of us becoming gods!"

Bai Lu smiled slightly.

He could not help but wonder whether the current Zhu Zhuqing could defeat Level 37 Huo Yuhao.

"Mm, becoming a god."

Zhu Zhuqing suppressed the excitement in her heart and tried to remain calm.

Her complete form was very strong. That was right.

But Twin Martial Souls and Soul Bones were all trump cards. To prevent others from coveting them, they still could not be easily exposed.

In front of others, what she could rely on was still only her Hell Spirit Cat.

However, she always felt that with Bai Lu by her side, becoming a god seemed not so illusory after all.

"Let's go. Find some Soul Beasts and get acquainted with your power."

As his voice fell, the clone turned into light and flew into the girl's body.

"Understood!"

Zhu Zhuqing cleaned up briefly and left the battlefield.

But after walking less than five li, she felt a powerful aura not far away.

That aura was like the earth—heavy, yet carrying primal ferocity.

"This is..."

Zhu Zhuqing's pupils contracted slightly.

"It's an old friend of mine. Let's quietly go and see."

Bai Lu spoke while releasing spiritual power to conceal the girl's aura.

"Understood."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded. Like a Hell Spirit Cat, she moved silently and quietly approached the source of the aura.

When she bypassed a patch of dense bushes, the scene before her made her stunned.

In the forest clearing ahead stood a black giant ape with an extremely robust body.

Its shoulder height exceeded seven meters, and its muscles bulged like granite, like a small mountain.

The terrifying aura on its body was comparable to Bai Lu's before the sacrifice back then!

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

The girl's eyes widened slightly.

She had not expected that, in an area of the Star Dou Forest that did not even count as the middle region, she would encounter another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

But what shocked her even more was not the giant ape, but the person sitting at its feet.

It was Xiao Wu, the lively Shrek girl who was close to Tang San and wore a Scorpion Braid.

Not only had this girl not been devoured by the giant ape, the giant ape instead guarded her loyally like a guard dog.

What shocked Zhu Zhuqing the most was that Xiao Wu's state at this moment was extremely strange.

She sat cross-legged, shrouded in a layer of blood-red light.

Under the blood-red light, a purple Soul Ring was slowly condensing and taking shape around her.

No Soul Beast had been hunted!

No Soul Ring had been absorbed!

She was merely sitting there meditating, yet a Soul Ring was actually condensing by itself!

"This..."

Zhu Zhuqing was completely dumbfounded.

Her eyes were not playing tricks on her, were they?

How could a person condense a Soul Ring on their own?

And there was even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast protecting her while she absorbed the Soul Ring!

Just then, Bai Lu's voice sounded in her mind, his tone very calm:

"As you can see, that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is the legendary Titan Giant Ape, the King of the Forest, known as the Earth God."

"Doesn't the Titan Giant Ape live in the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest? Why did it appear here for no reason?"

Zhu Zhuqing asked impatiently in her heart:

"And what is going on with that girl? Could it be..."

She already vaguely had an answer in her heart.

And Bai Lu confirmed her guess:

"You are right. That girl is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit that underwent Humanoid Transformation, so she does not need to hunt Soul Rings and can condense them herself."

"So it really was... Humanoid Transformation!"

All her doubts were instantly resolved.

Zhu Zhuqing's pupils suddenly contracted as she stared blankly at Xiao Wu.

She had never expected a Soul Beast's Humanoid Transformation to be so convincing.

They had met several times, yet she had not noticed a thing.

"Wait! Did you know all along?!"

Thinking of the "old friend" Bai Lu had mentioned earlier, the girl suddenly realized.

The Titan Giant Ape was an old friend, so did Bai Lu know Xiao Wu too?

"I know the Titan Giant Ape, but I have never seen Xiao Wu before her Humanoid Transformation. However..."

Bai Lu paused for a moment before slowly saying:

"Back in Notting City, I knew at first glance that she was not human!"

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Zhu Zhuqing asked in her heart, her tone somewhat complicated.

"It would only have added to your worries. I intended to tell you once I found a suitable time to act."

Bai Lu said indifferently, "After all, if I suddenly told you that Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that underwent Humanoid Transformation, you might not have believed me."

"No! I believe you!"

Zhu Zhuqing said firmly.

Bai Lu paused slightly. He had not expected that, without realizing it, he had already gained such weight in the girl's heart.

"Next time, I'll tell you in advance."

After a moment of silence, Bai Lu spoke again:

"If there is a chance to kill Xiao Wu later, can you bring yourself to do it?"

"What is there to fear?"

Zhu Zhuqing did not hesitate in the slightest.

As someone with principles, if Xiao Wu had merely been an innocent human girl, then even if Bai Lu said she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that underwent Humanoid Transformation, Zhu Zhuqing might have been too soft-hearted to wrongly kill an innocent person.

But since it had already been confirmed that Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that underwent Humanoid Transformation, she no longer had that concern.

Killing Soul Beasts gave her no psychological burden now.

When killing Soul Killers, she would be even less likely to judge by appearances.

Compared to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, she felt that the kindness in her heart could be overcome.

"Then good!"

Bai Lu smiled faintly. "When we find an opportunity to kill her, you had better not hold back."

"An opportunity?"

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her eyes slightly, but her voice carried icy killing intent:

"How about... we kill her later?"
