Its entire body was dark purple, and its eight spear-like jointed legs were covered in barbs.
Its several scarlet compound eyes brimmed with despair and madness. Dark green toxic fluid continually dripped from a horrifying wound on its back that was deep enough to expose bone, instantly corroding the fallen leaves on the ground with a sizzling sound.
This was a poisonous beast with more than a thousand years of cultivation!
At that moment, the panicked Shadow Poison Demon Spider charged forward recklessly, desperate to flee.
And directly along its straight escape route, Xiao Huang, who was devouring the corpse of the Radiant Holy Winged Dragon, happened to be blocking its path!
Behind the Demon Spider came a somewhat anxious young girl's voice. "Don't run!"
Yu Changge frowned. This was just the right opportunity to test the power of Xiao Huang's First Soul Skill on this creature.
Although he had tested it on his father's arm before, that had not been very intuitive.
With a thought from Yu Changge, his First Soul Ring emerged beneath him.
"Xiao Huang, First Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Breath!"
Xiao Huang immediately shed his previously adorable, harmless appearance. Golden light burst from his body as a stream of golden Dragon Breath shot from his mouth.
He was completely unlike how he had looked when he had been "angry" with Yu Shuyao earlier.
Though he was a Martial Soul, he possessed intelligence as well. Yu Shuyao and Yu Tianqing were his master's family, and they were very close to him.
But this Demon Spider before him?
Sorry, not acquainted!
Generally speaking, with Yu Changge's current Soul Power Level, dealing with a thousand-year soul beast would still be extremely difficult.
After all, a thousand-year soul beast possessed strength comparable to a Soul Elder.
And he had only one Soul Ring.
But this Demon Spider happened to be restrained by Xiao Huang's power of light, and it was badly wounded as well.
The Dragon Breath then struck the Demon Spider head-on. The searing power of light made it let out a miserable shriek, while the venom on its body continuously dissolved away.
Its body was sent flying backward, crashing into a tree.
"Hey, hey, hey, go easy! That soul beast is mine."
Just then, a young girl ran out from the bushes. She was slender and petite, with fair skin, delicate and gentle features, soft pale lips, and an innocent expression that made her look sweet and pure.
Behind her followed a tall, upright young man with golden hair, golden eyes, and a golden robe.
Yu Changge was slightly stunned. Could it really be such a coincidence?
If he had only seen the girl, who was not much older than him, Yu Changge might not have recognized her right away. He would only have thought that she was exceptionally beautiful.
But with the person behind her—golden hair, golden eyes, a holy aura around him, and that robe—
It would have been impossible not to recognize him!
Qian Xunji!
And in the next moment, Qian Xunji spoke, confirming Yu Changge's guess.
Qian Xunji glanced at the blue dragon claw formed around Yu Tianqing's right hand. Combined with his attire, he immediately recognized that they were from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"You should be members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. This soul beast is intended to serve as my disciple's Second Soul Ring."
"The reason I did not step in and capture it directly was that I wanted to temper my disciple. I did not expect to disturb you, so please accept my apologies."
"Would you be willing to give Spirit Hall this favor?"
Yu Tianqing and his wife had long realized that Qian Xunji was no ordinary person. The holy aura he unconsciously revealed had already given them their suspicions.
"Could you be Qian Xunji, the current Pope of Spirit Hall?" Yu Tianqing asked hesitantly.
Qian Xunji smiled. "Indeed."
Yu Tianqing said, "Since it is Your Holiness the Pope, please proceed."
Though Yu Tianqing said so outwardly, he was deeply alarmed inside.
Because Qian Xunji had just said that this Demon Spider had been selected as his disciple's Second Soul Ring.
A thousand-year Second Soul Ring!
Could it be that he had also discovered the use of Whale Rubber?
But within the clan, aside from the higher-ups, no one else knew about the effects of Whale Rubber.
Those low-grade Whale Rubbers were purified and directly added to ordinary food for the clan's disciples to consume.
In this way, their physiques were gradually improved without their awareness.
Before Yu Tianqing could think further, Qian Xunji gently said to Bibi Dong, "Dong'er, why don't you thank this uncle?"
After Bibi Dong sweetly said, "Thank you," her gaze remained fixed on Yu Changge and Xiao Huang, who had just driven back the Demon Spider.
"Hello, my name is Bibi Dong. What's your name? And is this your Martial Soul? What a strange Martial Soul."
Bibi Dong looked like a curious child, then turned to her teacher. "Teacher, have you ever seen this kind of Martial Soul?"
Qian Xunji: ...
If he said he had not seen it before, would that not damage his dignity as a teacher?
Qian Xunji's mind raced. He shot Bibi Dong a glare and said, "Dong'er, I always tell you to study properly, but you never listen. You do not even know about a Martial Soul like this."
Bibi Dong gave a haughty snort and muttered in protest, "Those books are just too dry and boring. They are not interesting at all."
"Then why do you not listen when I tell you to cultivate diligently and put in more effort?"
Bibi Dong: ...
Though she was only nine years old and had already reached twenty levels of Soul Power, Qian Xunji still thought she was progressing somewhat slowly.
After all, Bibi Dong possessed Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, and Spirit Hall had provided her with vast resources for cultivation.
Yet in three years, she had raised her Soul Power by less than ten levels. That was indeed a little slow.
Bibi Dong guiltily shifted her gaze away before looking back at Yu Changge. "What's your name? Can you tell me what your Martial Soul is called? I'm a little curious."
Yu Changge said, "My name is Yu Changge. As for my Martial Soul, just call him Xiao Huang."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's face filled with question marks. A Martial Soul's name... could it really be so casual?
Qian Xunji, meanwhile, turned his gaze toward Yu Tianqing and his wife.
Yu Tianqing and his wife immediately felt immense pressure. At that moment, they only wanted to take their son and leave this place.
However, Yu Tianqing suddenly recalled Elder Yu's words. Why not use this opportunity to let the Pope become familiar with his son? It would also lay the groundwork for sending him to study at Spirit Hall later and avoid the clan.
"Actually, my son's Martial Soul underwent a malignant mutation. Both my wife and I possess the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, but his Martial Soul is a Pig. For now, it does not have a particularly suitable name."
Bibi Dong nodded. Come to think of it, given the color of Yu Changge's Martial Soul, that name was rather fitting for the time being.
"Still, even though your Martial Soul has mutated, it is fortunate that it is quite strong. One should not judge a Martial Soul by its appearance."
"To obtain your First Soul Ring at your age, you have already surpassed many people," Bibi Dong said with a smile.
