Lightning Tempering Body, Human-Faced Demon Spider

Lin Fan reached out and grabbed Bibi Dong's small hand.

The next moment, Bibi Dong felt a jolt of electricity flash through her palm, and a slight numbing sensation instantly coursed through her entire body.

"That is how you temper your body." Lin Fan smirked, gripping Bibi Dong's hand even tighter.

Bibi Dong's face flushed red, a strange emotion welling up in her heart. She pulled her hand away from Lin Fan and ran to Qian Xunji's side with a look of being bullied, "Teacher, Senior Brother is bullying me!"

Hearing this, Qian Xunji smiled, "Xiao Fan would never bully his Junior Sister!"

Lin Fan chuckled, "I was just letting Junior Sister get a head start on the sensation."

"We should make the most of the remaining time and find the spirit ring Bibi Dong needs as soon as possible," Dean Zhu spoke up at this moment.

Qian Xunji nodded, looking at the fading daylight, "I leave it to you, Dean Zhu."

Immediately, the three of them followed Dean Zhu's lead, setting off on the path to hunt for spirit beasts.

Dean Zhu had a fair understanding of where the spirit beasts in the Martial Soul Forest were generally located.

However, the group was quite unlucky; they searched two habitats for spider-type spirit beasts in a row, but found no suitable targets.

Night had fallen, and in the forest, not a sliver of light could be seen, save for the faint starlight emitted by some strange trees.

"Let's find an open space to rest," Dean Zhu suggested.

Qian Xunji nodded, and the next moment, three pairs of golden, holy wings appeared behind him as he soared into the sky.

Bibi Dong, watching this scene from the side, had a face full of envy.

Why wasn't such a beautiful Martial Soul hers?

Even one slightly inferior to this would have been fine!

Thinking of her own two Martial Souls, Bibi Dong felt a bit miserable; both were spider-types, and they were so unsightly.

For a girl like Bibi Dong, it was truly hard to accept.

Before long, Qian Xunji's figure reappeared before the three of them, "Follow me."

Under Qian Xunji's guidance, the three arrived at a clearing where the surrounding vegetation was sparse, clearly indicating that no spirit beasts were lurking there.

After setting up the tents and eating some dry rations, Lin Fan and Bibi Dong entered a tent, while the task of keeping watch was naturally taken over by Qian Xunji and Dean Zhu.

"Senior Brother, do we have to do this now?" Bibi Dong asked, looking nervous.

Lin Fan nodded, "Of course, this is good for your body."

"Alright then." Bibi Dong trembled as she sat cross-legged in front of Lin Fan.

"Don't worry, I'll be slow; we'll take it one step at a time." As Lin Fan spoke, he placed a hand directly onto Bibi Dong's back.

Tiny arcs of electricity emerged from his hand, surging onto Bibi Dong's body.

"Uh, mm~" Bibi Dong's face turned red as she circulated her spirit power.

"Take it slow; it's normal not to be used to it at first," Lin Fan said.

Outside, Dean Zhu, who was keeping watch, heard the sounds from inside the tent and raised an eyebrow.

Dean Zhu shook his head helplessly, though in his heart, he thought even more highly of Lin Fan and Bibi Dong!

"This is the future of Martial Soul Hall!"

Not long after, the sounds from inside the tent faded away.

By now, Bibi Dong had grown accustomed to the lightning tempering; of course, this was still only a low-intensity current. If Lin Fan were to increase the strength of the electricity, Bibi Dong would still need time to adapt.

Inside the tent, Lin Fan and Bibi Dong sat facing each other, tiny arcs of electricity appearing all over Lin Fan's body.

Because Lin Fan and Bibi Dong were in contact, these arcs also surged onto Bibi Dong's body. Through this method, both of them could improve their physical strength while cultivating.

The night passed without incident.

Due to time constraints, after finishing their meal, the group followed Dean Zhu toward the next habitat.

The environment changed, and the once dense forest transformed in an instant.

The trees here were covered in spider webs, and for some reason, they were completely devoid of leaves or branches.

On the ground, there were traces of corrosion...

"Be careful. If nothing goes wrong, a Human-Faced Demon Spider of over five thousand years is lurking here," Dean Zhu warned.

"Xiao Fan, Dong'er, stand on either side of me," Qian Xunji commanded.

Hearing this, Lin Fan and Bibi Dong moved to Qian Xunji's sides, watching their surroundings with great vigilance.

The four of them ventured deeper until, suddenly, a sharp, piercing sound reached their ears.

There, on a large tree, sat an eight-legged spider.

This demon spider was about 1.5 meters long, with its eight legs spanning nearly three meters, its entire body covered in an ink-black carapace.

The iconic human-faced pattern on its abdomen was fully formed, its features ferocious, and the markings around its mouth resembling a sinister grin.

The tips of its thick spider legs shimmered with a sharp, dark purple hue, with potent poison faintly flowing through them, and its eight small eyes glinted with a cold, crimson light.

"Human-Faced Demon Spider!" Dean Zhu said excitedly, "Judging by the length of its legs, it should be between one thousand and one thousand three hundred years old."

"Dong'er, your spirit ring is settled," Qian Xunji said with a smile, holy radiance manifesting around his body.

The next moment, Qian Xunji appeared above the Human-Faced Demon Spider, wielding an Angel Sword and waving it casually twice.

Two holy beams of light, condensed from spirit power, severed all eight spider legs of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

"Sss-ha!"

The Human-Faced Demon Spider let out a blood-curdling shriek; it never expected that while out foraging, it would encounter such a powerful opponent.

Yet at this moment, it didn't even have the chance to flee.

On its severed spider legs, a faint golden halo was still purifying its body!

Qian Xunji put away the Angel Sword and threw a punch.

With a thud, the body of the Human-Faced Demon Spider was sent flying backward more than ten meters.

This was only because Qian Xunji had held back his strength; otherwise, this single punch would have been enough to end its life.

After a few more punches, the Human-Faced Demon Spider fell completely unconscious.

"Dong'er, come over and deliver the final blow," Qian Xunji said.

Bibi Dong snapped back to reality, trotted over excitedly, and plunged her dagger into the human face on the abdomen of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

The next moment, a pale purple spirit ring appeared above the corpse of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

Bibi Dong sat down cross-legged; although she was inattentive in theory classes, she was extremely familiar with how to absorb a spirit ring.

Because she preferred practical combat, she naturally had an understanding of the spirit rings that could enhance her strength.

Qian Xunji and Dean Zhu stood guard in the surrounding area.

Lin Fan walked over and sat down just a few steps away from Bibi Dong, observing her condition at all times.

The next moment, an expression of astonishment appeared on Lin Fan's face.

Because in his eyes, a flickering purple halo was appearing on the corpse of the Human-Faced Demon Spider at this very moment.

Lin Fan was stunned; he had naturally thought about the spirit bone that was essential for any transmigrator.

But since he didn't have one, it wasn't a big problem.

After all, he was currently in the Martial Soul Hall, and with his talent, wouldn't obtaining a spirit bone later be a simple matter?

He truly hadn't expected that it was one thing for him not to obtain a spirit bone, as spirit bones were rare and hard to come by.

Novels were, after all, just novels.

But looking at that flickering purple light, Lin Fan helplessly covered his forehead.

He hadn't encountered one, but his junior sister had!
