"Second move - Flying Quack in the Sky!" Jiang Lan turned around and soared into the air, spinning and striking out with his palm in mid-air.

The long blue robe drew a beautiful arc in the moonlight, and the palm strike came down from the sky, blasting a crater the size of a washbasin in the ground.

A few fallen leaves were swept up by the gust of air and swirled in the air for a while before finally falling back down.

"Third move - Quack Seen in the Fields!" This palm strike is a horizontal sweep, the wind from the palm brushing the ground, blowing away all the fallen leaves within a three-meter radius, revealing the bare black soil beneath.

The fallen leaves were swirled into a small tornado, turning several times before dispersing.

"Fourth Form: Quack Gradually Ascending!"

"Fifth Technique: Hidden Quack, Do Not Use!"

"Sixth move: Sudden Quack!"

After Jiang Lan finished his set of palm techniques, the surrounding trees were covered in wounds, with palm prints scattered all over their trunks.

The ground was pitted and uneven, as if it had been hit by a meteorite, and the air was filled with the lingering azure Soul Power and the scent of freshly turned soil.

Jiang Lan withdrew her hand and stood up, taking a deep breath. A strand of her high ponytail was damp with sweat and clung to her cheek. She was slightly out of breath.

"How was it!" Jiang Lan turned to look at Doro, her eyes practically sparkling. "Wasn't that palm technique cool?!"

Doro was silent for a moment, then raised his little hand, pointed to the trees around him that he had smashed into countless holes, and called out in an extremely calm tone.

The gist of it is: when your master returns and sees this forest, you'll need to prepare a story to explain the trees.

"These trees were... were damaged by the Man Faced Demon Spider!" Jiang Lan, quick-witted, pointed to the still-warm corpse of the Man Faced Demon Spider beside him. "Yes! That's it! It struggled frantically before it died, crashing into everything and damaging the trees!"

Before he could finish speaking, a sinister voice sounded from behind him.

"Oh? It was hit by the Man Faced Demon Spider?"

Jiang Lan froze.

He slowly turned around and saw Dugu Bo standing three steps behind him, carrying a wild boar, looking expressionlessly at the surrounding forest that looked like it had been bombed.

The wild boar in Dugu Bo's hand was still dripping blood, the drops falling onto the fallen leaves. Combined with his expression, the whole scene was incredibly oppressive.

Dugu Bo's gaze swept over the tree trunks inlaid with palm prints. Each palm print was at least two inches deep, and there were traces of Soul Power burning on the edges.

He looked down at the crater in the ground, then at Jiang Lan, who was wearing Blue Robe and had her hair in a high ponytail, and his lips twitched.

"You were still wearing your Penguin Suit before you went out to find dinner. What, did you change your clothes while you were out looking for your Soul Hunting Ring?" Dugu Bo's tone was terrifyingly calm. "And these trees, you're telling me they were caused by the Man Faced Demon Spider? Man Faced Demon Spider can create a palm print when it hits a tree? Are its legs palm-shaped?"

Jiang Lan coughed a few times and said, "Teacher, don't worry about these details. I'll show you something good."

After saying that, he deactivated the second form.

The next second, eight streaks of purple-red light burst forth from Jiang Lan's spine, and Eight Spider Lances unfolded, their blades swirling with interwoven purple patterns of varying shades.

The spearheads gleamed with a chilling light, and specks of deadly poison flickered faintly at their tips. Each Spider Spear shone with a hard, metallic sheen.

"External Soul Bone?!" Dugu Bo was extremely shocked by this sight.

He truly hadn't expected that a mere thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider could actually drop External Soul Bone.

It's important to know that External Soul Bone can grow alongside the Soul Master, making them a coveted treasure for many Soul Master.

If Jiang Lan weren't his apprentice, he would have had some thoughts about this thing.

Dugu Bo stared at the eight Spider Spear shimmering with purple light behind Jiang Lan, and the more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong with his disciple.

At six years old, level twenty-two, Twin Martial Souls, even with only 30% of his power, he could send this Titled Douluo flying and embedding him into a rockery.

Now, you can actually get External Soul Bone from killing a thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider?

What is External Soul Bone?

That was a treasure that even Titled Douluo coveted; the total number of known External Soul Bone on the entire continent could not be counted more than a handful.

As a result, this kid just picked up mushrooms like they were mushrooms, and one of them exploded with a single punch.

This is no longer just luck.

Lucky people step in dog poop when they go out; this guy stepped in a mountain of gold.

No, even Jinshan isn't this outrageous. This kid is like Jinshan is chasing him down to his feet.

The more Dugu Bo thought about it, the more he felt there was only one explanation: Child of Destiny.

In traditional Chinese novels, the Child of Destiny like those who can find secret manuals by jumping off cliffs, encounter masters while strolling through the streets, obtain divine equipment by fighting, and even eat soup made with thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.

His apprentice, Jiang Lan, perfectly fits all the characteristics.

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo's gaze towards Jiang Lan changed, from that of someone looking at a disciple to someone looking at a walking future god.

Jiang Lan was completely unaware of her master's complex inner thoughts.

He was facing away from Dugu Bo, twisting his neck to admire the eight Spider Spear on his back.

Doro squatted on the tree stump, holding half an Ju Zi in his two short little hands. His big purple eyes were fixed on the eight Spider Spear, and his mouth was slightly open. He didn't even notice the Ju Zi dripping down his chin onto his belly.

"This is so cool! I want one too!" Doro said, looking at Jiang Lan's Eight Spider Lances with envy.

Jiang Lan got even more excited, brandishing the Eight Spider Lances with great flair. "Feel it! Feel it! There are barbs on it! If anyone dares to bully you in the future, I'll give them a good beating from all eight sides!"

As he spoke, he carefully held out a Spider Spear to Doro, allowing the white ball of fur to touch the purple markings on it.

Doro stretched out its little hand, which was covered in Ju Zi, and gently poked the Spider Spear. The cold glint of the spear tip startled it, and it quickly pulled its hand back, but then couldn't resist poking it again.

It looked down at its round body and four short legs, then at the eight majestic purple Spider Spear behind Jiang Lan, and a hint of grievance appeared in its big purple eyes.

"Why don't I have something that's both cool and stylish? All I have is a belly full of Ju Zi." Doro pinched his round belly.

"Doro, don't be sad! When I become powerful, I'll find you one too!" Jiang Lan squatted down and reached out to rub Doro's head.

Upon hearing Jiang Lan's words, Dugu Bo couldn't help but inwardly complain.

Find another one?

To get even one External Soul Bone is already outrageous, let alone a second one.

"Master? What are you daydreaming about?" Jiang Lan retracted the Eight Spider Lances into her body, looked up at Dugu Bo, and said, "I'm hungry!"

Dugu Bo snapped out of his daze, took a deep breath, and suppressed all the chaotic thoughts in his mind. He pointed to the wild boar on the ground and said, "Let's eat first."

The campfire crackled in the forest clearing, and wild boar sizzled and dripped with golden oil, sparks flying as it fell into the fire.

Jiang Lan sat cross-legged by the fire, holding a roasted pig leg bigger than his face in his two small hands, gnawing on it with his mouth full of oil.

Doro lay on his lap, his little arms clutching a perfectly roasted pork rib, his cheeks puffed out like a hamster that had hidden away some food.
