Her legs went weak, and she nearly fell off the rooftop.
No, I still need Kidney Deficiency Value!
So Beibei stayed on the rooftop, hissing in pain as he sucked in cold air, yet stubbornly endured.
The scene was incredibly bizarre.
[Kidney Deficiency Value +1], [Kidney Deficiency Value +1], ...
Outside the dormitory building.
The dozing Mu En rubbed the top of his head.
He assumed it was bird droppings, muttered something, turned over, and continued dozing off.
The bird droppings were white with a tinge of yellow, and a little red.
God Realm, God Realm Committee office.
After handling a day's worth of government affairs, Tang San was exhausted, his back aching and his waist sore.
He rubbed his temples, his brows slightly furrowed.
"What's going on... That strand of divine sense I left on Douluo Continent feels like something is wrong."
Closing his eyes and focusing, his divine sense slowly extended outward.
That strand of divine sense was still within the seal. To sense it clearly, he had to awaken it first.
He could also check whether Xiao Qi was safe and whether she had followed his arrangements to approach the Child of Fortune chosen by Douluo Continent.
Douluo Continent had to remain under his control.
Since the continent wanted to raise up a Child of Fortune, then that Child of Fortune had to be Tang San's dog!
His divine sense slowly awakened.
Tang San's consciousness followed the connection and reached out...
He could sense that he was within a sea of consciousness.
This should be Xiao Qi's sea of consciousness.
Just as he was about to relax, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Why was there movement outside the sea of consciousness?
He used his divine sense to perceive the outside world:
A dense forest.
Hm?
Wasn't he inside Xiao Qi's body?
Why had he ended up in a forest?
Was she hunting soul beasts?
Only then did he sense it...
This strand of his divine sense was covered in wounds!
It was tightly bound within the sea of consciousness, battered and bruised as if it had been whipped countless times.
Tang San was shocked and furious. "What is going on?!"
A woman's voice suddenly rang out. "You're awake?!"
Tang San demanded sharply, "What did you do to me?!"
The owner of the sea of consciousness entered.
Tang San saw what she looked like:
Broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, with a bowl cut, flared nostrils, and rugged features that looked as though they had been smashed by a door.
"Who are you?"
The woman grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. She held a thorny vine in her hand.
"Tang San, you're finally awake."
She was a hundred-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider in human form!
Nourished by Tang San's strand of divine sense, and after madly devouring other soul beasts,
she had grown rapidly after taking human form. In a short time, she had become the equivalent of a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old human and reached the strength of a three-ringed Soul Elder.
She gave herself a name:
Ren Zhu.
Tang San's pupils trembled. "Don't come any closer!"
Ren Zhu raised the vine, her eyes filled with hatred. "Tang San! I have never forgotten the hatred of ten thousand years!"
"Smack—"
The vine lashed across Tang San's body!
Tang San screamed, "Ah!!!"
Ren Zhu gritted her teeth. "My Man Faced Demon Spider clan was branded by you as 'evil soul beasts' and slaughtered to extinction! Do you still remember?"
Tang San's pupils contracted sharply.
A Man Faced Demon Spider had taken human form!
Damn it, he had actually let one slip through back then?
He had thought they should have all been wiped out!
Ren Zhu gave him no time to think.
The vine whipped wildly, lash after lash, drawing continuous screams from Tang San's divine sense.
"This lash is for my parents!"
"This lash is for my clansmen!"
"This lash is for my ten thousand years of loneliness and suffering!"
Tang San rolled amid the vines, without even a trace of the bearing of a God King.
The more Ren Zhu whipped him, the more excited she became. Her eyes even turned red.
"Tang San, so you have this day too!"
"Do you know how I lived through these ten thousand years?!"
"I have been waiting for this day! The day I would take revenge on you!"
"HAHAHAHA—"
Ren Zhu's crazed laughter echoed through the sea of consciousness, along with Tang San's broken screams.
"How dare you! I am a God Realm enforcer!"
"God, my ass!"
"Smack!"
Tang San: "Ah!!!"
Lin Ye returned to the dormitory. Wang Dong'er had already crawled into bed early; he did not know whether she was asleep.
Lin Ye calculated inwardly: He had obtained the Mystic Water Pill. He could absorb it tonight!
He quietly walked to his bed, sat cross-legged, and summoned the system panel.
[Draws Available: 3] [Current System Points: 239]
Three chances to draw!
"Draw!"
A colorful roulette wheel appeared, its pointer spinning rapidly.
Lin Ye willed it to move.
The wheel slowed down, ticking from slot to slot.
At last, the pointer slowly came to a stop.
[Ding!] [Congratulations, you have obtained the Soul Tool: Soul Ring Storage Device!]
A massive book-shaped Soul Tool appeared out of thin air and floated before Lin Ye.
Its cover was ancient and simple, with Soul Power faintly circulating across it.
A Soul Ring Storage Device? Good stuff!
In the future, he could store any extra soul rings from the soul beasts he hunted.
Lin Ye nodded in satisfaction and continued drawing.
[Ding!] [Congratulations, you have obtained one Mystic Water Pill!]
Lin Ye raised a brow as he looked at the extra white bottle in his hand.
Another one?
Usually, one Mystic Water Pill was enough. Taking another would have diminishing effects...
But he could give this one to Dong'er and the others.
After putting away the Mystic Water Pill, he went for the final draw!
[Ding!] [Congratulations, you have obtained—] [Sixty Thousand Year Nine-Grade Pure Lotus Torso Bone!]
Lin Ye's pupils contracted sharply.
A Soul Bone!
And a torso bone at that!
Although it was not a hundred-thousand-year one, a sixty-thousand-year Soul Bone was already incredibly good for someone like him, who currently had nothing!
Besides, there should be opportunities to raise the Soul Bone's age in the future!
Better absorb it quickly!
The system thoughtfully displayed the Soul Bone's basic information:
[Grade: Rare ancient lotus-type torso Soul Bone, sixty-thousand-year age, compatible with a lotus true-body martial soul. Its lotus essence shares the same origin, allowing fusion without rejection.] [After fusing the Soul Bone, the torso's internal organs transform into a lotus stamen structure! Even severe injuries will not easily damage the origin, reducing incoming damage by thirty percent!] [Soul Bone Skill: Nine-Grade Lotus Platform Body Protection!] [Consumes a moderate amount of Soul Power. Instant cast, with no windup.] [After activation, nine staggered phantom Lotus Daises condense from the void beneath the user's feet and wrap upward around the entire body. Layer upon layer of lotus petals connect end to end, forming a sealed lotus armor barrier.] [The nine Lotus Daises distribute the impact layer by layer. Even if one layer breaks, eight remain. Opponents of the same level will find it difficult to break through the full defense in a short time!]
After reading it, Lin Ye's grin stretched from ear to ear.
This defensive skill perfectly made up for his current weakness!
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began fusing with the Soul Bone.
This Soul Bone shared the same lotus essence as Lin Ye's martial soul, so absorbing it was unexpectedly easy.
There was no pain and no struggle. Instead, his whole body felt comfortable, warmth flowing through his meridians as his entire being became a little clearer.
The absorption was completed very quickly.
What delighted Lin Ye even more was that
his Soul Power Level shot directly from level fifteen to level eighteen!
Three levels in a row!
This Soul Bone was way too good!
Lin Ye opened his eyes and discovered that barely any time had passed. It was still dark outside.
It seemed he could take another Mystic Water Pill tonight.
After thinking it over, he did not take it directly on his bed.
He slipped into the Micro Restroom in advance, filled the large bathtub with warm water, and slowly lay down inside.
So comfortable~
