Lu Li: Tang San Running Toward Her Like Crazy Looks Just Like a Dog

Before Tang San and the others stood a mountain made of layered rock, magma flowing through its cracks, white steam rising all over its body.

A mountain that could move and breathe.

Flender stared at the Titan Giant Ape before him, his entire body trembling with fear. His eyes were filled with dread and reverence for this Forest King.

"The Titan Giant Ape, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

"Why would such an overlord leave the Core Area and appear in the Outer Perimeter?!"

Flender simply could not understand why this Forest King had left the Core Area and come to the Outer Perimeter.

Under normal circumstances, an overlord like this coming to the Outer Perimeter was like a Title Douluo going to a village to show off.

Although Flender's heart was filled with terror, he still forced himself to take a step forward for the sake of his own life and the lives of Tang San and Xiao Wu behind him.

"Honorable Forest King, we did not know this was your territory. We will leave immediately. Please calm your anger."

Flender lowered his stance as much as possible.

He was afraid that the slightest hint of disrespect would cost all three of them their lives.

The Titan Giant Ape lowered its enormous head toward Flender and the other two.

The heat from its breath alone made the three of them feel as though they were standing inside a furnace.

The Titan Giant Ape's lantern-sized eyes shifted. When its gaze fell upon Xiao Wu, a trace of excitement flashed through them.

"Roar!"

The Titan Giant Ape let out an excited roar.

It was the roar it made upon seeing its beloved Sister Xiao Wu.

But Flender clearly did not see it that way. He mistook the Titan Giant Ape's roar as the prelude to an attack.

"Not good! Xiao San! Take Xiao Wu and run!"

Light burst from Flender's body as his Seventh Spirit Ring suddenly lit up.

"Seventh Spirit Skill! Cat-Eagle True Body!"

Flender roared, and in the next instant, his limbs and head transformed into those of a Four-Eyed Cat-Eagle.

Hearing this, Tang San did not hesitate. He grabbed Xiao Wu's small hand and ran swiftly into the distance.

He did not know exactly what kind of Spirit Beast they had encountered, nor how much cultivation it possessed.

But judging from its size alone, it had to be at least an eighty-thousand-year Spirit Beast.

An eighty-thousand-year Spirit Beast was something their dean could hold off for a while with his Martial Soul Avatar, perhaps even escaping with only light injuries.

But for him and Xiao Wu, it meant certain death.

He could not die yet.

He had yet to prove his teacher's theories, establish the Tang Sect, or make Tang Sect Hidden Weapons famous across the world.

The Titan Giant Ape had originally only wanted to take Xiao Wu away. But when it saw one human blocking it while another human grabbed its Xiao Wu and ran, it instantly flew into a rage.

"Roar!"

With a roar, the Titan Giant Ape casually threw a punch, sending Flender—who had activated his Martial Soul Avatar and charged toward it—flying with a single blow.

Its other hand directly grabbed Xiao Wu, while Tang San was blown far away by a single puff of its breath.

"Xiao Wu!"

Seeing Xiao Wu seized by the Spirit Beast that resembled a volcano, Tang San's eyes immediately turned bloodshot.

Murderous aura surged around him as both hands reached for the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night at his waist.

The next moment, Tang San fired a sky full of hidden weapons at the Titan Giant Ape as if they cost nothing.

But when those hidden weapons struck the Titan Giant Ape, they were like eggs smashing against stone.

The Titan Giant Ape's physical strength alone shattered every one of them.

Seeing that his prized hidden weapons had no effect whatsoever, Tang San could only watch helplessly as Xiao Wu was taken away by the Titan Giant Ape before him.

"Xiao Wu, don't be afraid! I'll save you right away!"

With Xiao Wu's life at stake, Tang San threw all his grand ambitions to the back of his mind.

All he wanted now was to save Xiao Wu, then subject the Spirit Beast that had harbored ill intentions toward her and taken her away to the Tang Sect's harshest punishment, making it wish it were dead!

Lu Li: How much did he drink to get this drunk?

Lu Li watched Tang San chase after them desperately.

He looked just like a dog.

Lu Li did not care whether Tang San looked like a dog or not. As long as Tang San could encounter the Demon-faced Spider that would provide him with an External Spirit Bone, Tang San could be a pig for all he cared.

Lu Li silently followed behind Tang San.

Tang San, meanwhile, stared fixedly in the direction the Titan Giant Ape had left, his heart as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Damn it, why is it so fast?!"

Tang San panted heavily, his movements gradually slowing.

"Damn it, my stamina is almost at its limit. My body is getting weaker and weaker."

Feeling his body grow hotter and hotter, Tang San understood that this was a sign that his stamina was about to run out.

But Xiao Wu had not yet been rescued, and that Spirit Beast had not yet paid the price it deserved.

Tang San ruthlessly pinched his own thigh.

When he found that it did nothing at all, Tang San took out a small pill from the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night.

"I hope this pill can help me hold on a little longer."

Tang San stared at the small pill in his hand for a moment, then hardened his heart and swallowed it.

In an instant, the exhaustion in his body vanished, and Tang San returned to his peak condition.

Hidden in the shadows, Lu Li was startled when he saw the small pill in Tang San's hand.

"Is Tang San's lovesick brain kicking in?"

"That pill can indeed restore him to his peak condition, but for the next year, the speed at which his body absorbs Spirit Power will drop by fifty percent."

Though Lu Li was shocked, he was actually quite pleased when he saw Tang San swallow the pill.

That way, when they encountered the Demon-faced Spider later, Tang San would have the strength to fight it.

Just as Tang San finished swallowing the Free-and-Easy Pill, a spider leg suddenly stabbed toward his temple from his left.

Tang San's alarm bells instantly rang. Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track activated in an instant, and he narrowly dodged the attack.

From the shadows, Lu Li was immediately delighted when he saw the Demon-faced Spider fail in its ambush and helplessly reveal itself.

"It's here, it's here. As long as Tang San absorbs this Demon-faced Spider's Spirit Ring, not only will my Third Spirit Ring rise to ten thousand years, I'll also obtain an External Spirit Bone."

Lu Li's Third Spirit Ring was eight thousand years old, while this Demon-faced Spider was at least two thousand years old.

After Double Replication copied its years onto his Third Spirit Ring, the age of his Third Spirit Ring would increase to at least twelve thousand years!

Sure enough, facing the Demon-faced Spider at its peak while all his hidden weapons had already been used up, Tang San could not defeat the Demon-faced Spider with Blue Silver Grass alone.

In the end, Tang San had to use himself as bait and activate his Second Martial Soul before he could barely kill it.

After the battle, Tang San looked at the Second Martial Soul in his hand, and the idea of focusing solely on cultivating his Martial Soul suddenly arose in his heart.

"Blue Silver Grass is too useless. I don't know what kind of Martial Soul this hammer is, but I can feel that the power contained within it is definitely tens of thousands of times greater than Blue Silver Grass!"

After half an hour of recovery, Tang San finally decided to take the risk of absorbing the Spirit Ring of the roughly two-thousand-year-old Demon-faced Spider before him.

"After absorbing this two-thousand-year Spirit Ring, my strength will definitely increase greatly. That will give me a better chance of rescuing Xiao Wu!"

Thinking of Xiao Wu still waiting for him to save her, Tang San hardened his heart, sat down cross-legged, and began absorbing the Spirit Ring before him.

At the instant Tang San began absorbing the Spirit Ring, the system's voice also appeared in Lu Li's mind.
