The Eight Spider Lances' First Evolution, Breaking Through Level 40!

Under the moonlight, the shadows of the spider lances loomed.

"It's over."

Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward and calmly looked at the Man Faced Demon Spider she had forcefully suppressed.

The Eight Spider Lances rose high behind her, ready to deliver the final blow and finish it off completely.

"Wait."

Bai Lu suddenly spoke up, stopping the young girl just as the spider lances were about to kill the Man Faced Demon Spider.

"Why wait?"

Zhu Zhuqing did not understand at first, but then recalled what had happened to the previous Man Faced Demon Spider.

She asked in confusion, "Don't tell me this one can also drop an External Soul Bone?"

"That's hard to say..."

"But before devouring it, it's always good to fatten it up!"

There was a strange excitement in Bai Lu's voice.

"Little Kitten, don't be nervous. Let me borrow your body for a bit!"

Before Zhu Zhuqing could react, Bai Lu had already taken control of her body.

But the young girl did not struggle. She merely watched Bai Lu's actions in silence.

"As the saying goes, even when you die, you should die a Well-Fed Ghost!"

"Little Spider, come! Eat something good and build yourself up!"

Bai Lu walked up to the dying Man Faced Demon Spider, gently removed its remaining six spider legs, and took out a basket of Whale Rubber.

Blazing Flames ignited in his right hand, softening the Whale Rubber.

Then, as if it cost nothing, he stuffed piece after piece into the Man Faced Demon Spider's body.

"What... are you doing?"

The young girl in the Mental Space was dumbfounded.

Heaven have mercy, this time Bai Lu had not only refrained from tormenting the Man Faced Demon Spider—he was even feeding it her "Cat Strips"?

"Can't you see? I'm replenishing Little Spider's energy so it can grow up quickly."

"The ancients said: if one hears the Way in the morning, one may die in the evening."

"Before it dies, I want Little Spider to see the magnificent scenery in the distance!"

Bai Lu looked deeply concerned, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on the Man Faced Demon Spider.

"You'd be this kind-hearted?"

Zhu Zhuqing was immediately shocked.

Judging by everything he had done before, no matter how she looked at him—standing or lying down—

Bai Lu was a bastard through and through.

Could it be that after sacrificing himself for her, he had been influenced by her and turned over a new leaf?

"Why can't I be kind-hearted?"

Bai Mu gave Zhu Zhuqing a strange look and said reasonably, "It's only right to treat it better. The stronger it is, the more benefits we'll gain after the Eight Spider Lances devour it, won't we?"

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing fell silent.

She knew it. This tiger was sly as hell and full of tricks!

Even she could fall for his schemes if she was not careful.

Only she could be influenced by Bai Lu.

Bai Lu, on the other hand, was unaffected!

The young girl let out a faint sigh. "You really aren't a Good Person..."

"How could you think of me that way?"

Bai Lu looked astonished and pretended to be hurt.

"Who am I doing all this for? Isn't it all for you, my dear Little Kitten?"

"Anyone in the world can condemn me, except you..."

Before Bai Lu could finish, he suddenly heard the rest of the young girl's words—

"But I feel like I can't live without you anymore."

"..."

Bai Lu's movements abruptly froze as something within his heart seemed to be touched.

Sure enough, sincerity was the ultimate killing move.

He felt as though he had been killed again.

"In the middle of the night, you say something like that..."

Bai Lu tried hard to remain calm.

"Watch carefully and learn properly. The process may be a little cruel, but it'll help you in the future."

As he spoke, he stuffed the final piece of Whale Rubber into the Man Faced Demon Spider.

After being saturated with massive amounts of Whale Rubber, the Man Faced Demon Spider's wounds had healed, and its entire body had turned crimson.

Although it had lost its eyes and spider legs, its aura was actually no weaker than at its peak!

Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously, "What do we do next?"

"The experience is about enough. Time to give it a proper upgrade!"

Red Light burst from Bai Lu's eyes.

Blood-colored ripples spread beneath his feet. Slaughter power and soul energy drifted out of the White Tiger Slaughter Array in threadlike wisps, pouring into the Man Faced Demon Spider's body in a single rush.

"Roar... roar..."

The Man Faced Demon Spider let out painful shrieks as its lance-less body began to convulse violently.

But Bai Lu showed no concern for its feelings, forcibly increasing its strength and raising its cultivation age!

During this process, the Man Faced Demon Spider underwent drastic changes—

Its carapace grew thicker, and Blood-Colored Patterns appeared over its surface.

Its newly grown spider legs became thicker, while sharp Bone Spikes grew from their joints.

Its human face was stained blood-red and became as savage as a vicious ghost. The eyes on its face regenerated, blazing with scarlet light.

The Man Faced Demon Spider's aura was also soaring at a visible rate!

Six Thousand Years... Seven Thousand Years... Eight Thousand Years... Nine Thousand Years!

"What... what kind of method is this?!"

Zhu Zhuqing watched in stunned disbelief from within the Spiritual World.

She had never heard of anyone being able to forcibly raise a Soul Beast's cultivation.

"The Soul Slaughter Secret Method from the White Tiger Slaughter Secret."

Bai Lu's voice was filled with confidence. "No one understands slaughter-type Soul Beasts better than I do!"

As a former top Hunter, he knew slaughter-and-devouring Soul Beasts like the Man Faced Demon Spider and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger inside out.

If that Tiger Idiot, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, had not ambushed him, then after developing a little longer, he might not have failed to evolve into a true God of Slaughter White Tiger.

Finally, when the Man Faced Demon Spider's aura broke through a certain critical point—

"Now!"

Bai Lu shouted.

Zhu Zhuqing immediately regained control of her body and ruthlessly drove the Eight Spider Lances through the Man Faced Demon Spider's head, sending it into the Netherworld.

The next moment, a pale black Soul Ring slowly emerged from its corpse.

"Ten-Thousand Year?!"

Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat surprised.

She had not expected Bai Lu to be able to forcibly turn a Six Thousand Year Man Faced Demon Spider into a Ten-Thousand Year Soul Beast through sheer manipulation!

Bai Lu said flatly, "It only overdraws its potential. Absorb it quickly."

"Alright!"

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze sharpened as she controlled the Eight Spider Lances to activate their devouring ability, frantically drawing out the immense energy within the Man Faced Demon Spider.

She could feel that energy flowing in through the spider legs and ultimately gathering around the spinal ribs where the eight spider lances were stored.

This energy, originating from the same source, began to fuse perfectly with the Eight Spider Lances, causing them to evolve!

Ah Yin's ever-reliable leg bone once again acted like a lubricant, producing strands of coolness that helped the Eight Spider Lances undergo a deeper transformation.

"This!"

Perhaps stimulated by the energy, the young girl suddenly widened her eyes.

Soul Power surged through her body, and her level was stimulated into breaking through to Level 40!

At the same time, the Eight Spider Lances grew from three meters to four meters long. Their color became deeper, and Blood-Colored Patterns with flowing light emerged across their surfaces.

The lance tips became sharper, faintly reflecting Cold Light.

Even more astonishingly, Zhu Zhuqing could feel it.

As long as she activated the Eight Spider Lances, her overall strength would receive an even greater boost than before.

At the very least, it exceeded 80%!

"So this is... the evolved Eight Spider Lances..."

Zhu Zhuqing murmured, her eyes gleaming with delight.

On the ground, the Man Faced Demon Spider that had been forcibly nurtured into a Ten-Thousand Year Soul Beast before being mercilessly devoured—

Had now completely shriveled up into an empty husk.

Only that forcibly nurtured Ten-Thousand Year Soul Ring remained, its quality not inferior in the slightest.
