Tang San watched this unfold with his own eyes.
His fingers rested on the trigger mechanism of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, but he never pressed it again.
The previous clash had already proven it.
Even if he continued using hidden weapons, he would not be able to snatch the soul bone from Tang Chen.
Moreover, Tang Chen had two other people by his side.
The girl dressed in black moved lightly, and her Soul Power was far from weak.
The old man standing farther back was the one Tang San truly feared.
From beginning to end, the old man had not summoned his martial soul.
Yet Tang San could not sense his exact cultivation.
He could only feel an unfathomably deep reserve of Soul Power.
If that old man made a move, Tang San feared he would not even have a chance to escape.
Tang Chen picked up the Eight Spider Lances.
At that moment.
A familiar system prompt appeared in his mind.
[Detected that the host has obtained the External Soul Bone, Eight Spider Lances.] [Selection triggered.] [Please choose two of the following four rewards.] [One: Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, Shadow Demon Spirit Left Leg Bone.] [Two: Ancient Soul Tool, Myriad Flow Heartguard Jade.] [Three: Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, Two-Pole Black Tortoise Right Arm Bone.] [Four: Secret cultivation method, "Qian Jun Soul Refining Method".]
Tang Chen examined the four rewards.
The Myriad Flow Heartguard Jade was an Ancient Soul Tool capable of protecting the heart meridians.
The Qian Jun Soul Refining Method was a cultivation method for spiritual power and Soul Power.
Either of these rewards would be enough to spark a scramble among countless Soul Masters anywhere on the continent.
Yet compared to the other two rewards, they still fell short.
Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones.
Any single Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone could make even Titled Douluo fight over it.
Now, the system had offered him two at once.
Tang Chen did not hesitate.
"I choose the Shadow Demon Spirit Left Leg Bone and the Two-Pole Black Tortoise Right Arm Bone."
[Selection complete.] [Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone: Shadow Demon Spirit Left Leg Bone.] [Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone: Two-Pole Black Tortoise Right Arm Bone.]
Two streams of light entered Tang Chen's body at the same time.
One of them swiftly surged toward his left leg.
Black Soul Power spread along the leg bone, and his original bone was enveloped by a gentle force.
A completely dark soul bone fused perfectly with his left leg.
The immense power contained within the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone caused no rejection.
The Life Ancient Tree released an aura of life, wrapping around the energy within the soul bone.
The Destruction Scepter swiftly refined the excessively violent portions.
Information about the Shadow Demon Spirit Left Leg Bone entered Tang Chen's mind.
This soul bone could enhance speed, explosive power, and one-hit kill capability.
It also came with two soul skills.
The first soul skill was Shadow Instant Kill.
Once activated, Tang Chen could instantly enter a shadow state, cross a certain distance, and launch a surprise attack on his target.
His attack's explosive force would be greatly enhanced at that moment.
Combined with the Destruction Spear, it would be enough to finish an enemy before they could react.
The second soul skill was Myriad Shadow Summoning.
When the soul skill was activated, it could summon countless shadows to attack at once.
Tang Chen could hide his true body among the many shadows.
Every shadow carried his aura.
Enemies would be unable to distinguish real from false in a short time.
The other stream of energy entered his right arm.
Heavy black-and-white light spread along his arm.
A soul bone covered in tortoise-shell patterns slowly fused into his skeleton.
Two-Pole Black Tortoise Right Arm Bone.
This soul bone mainly enhanced physical and Soul Power defenses.
Its first attached soul skill was Origin Return World Suppression.
After activating the soul skill, he could form a Two-Pole Barrier.
As long as Tang Chen's Soul Power was not exhausted, the barrier could withstand all attacks below the level of a Titled Douluo.
The second soul skill was Twin Reincarnation.
No matter how grave his injuries in battle, as long as he still had a breath left, he could recover instantly.
Broken bones, damaged meridians, and depleted Soul Power would all be restored under the powers of life and reincarnation.
The powers of the two soul bones gradually stabilized.
Light flashed across Tang Chen's left leg and right arm at the same time.
The Soul Power brought by the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones surged into his dantian.
His aura continued to rise.
His physical strength also improved once more under the tempering of the soul bone energy.
Tang Chen moved his right arm.
When he clenched his five fingers, a dull boom sounded in the air around his palm.
He then took a step forward.
The instant his left leg exerted force, it left no trace beneath his foot.
Yet his figure had already appeared several meters away.
"Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones really are impressive."
Tang Chen completely concealed the auras of both soul bones.
Tang San stood not far away, his gaze still fixed on the Soul Ring left behind by the Man Faced Demon Spider.
The purple Soul Ring slowly revolved.
Its more than two-thousand-year age made it perfectly suitable as his third Soul Ring.
But he had not dealt the final blow to the Man Faced Demon Spider.
He could not draw in this Soul Ring.
The Soul Ring that suited him stood right before him, yet he could only watch as its energy slowly dispersed.
Tang San looked again at the Eight Spider Lances in Tang Chen's hand.
His eyes gradually reddened.
The Soul Ring was gone.
The precious External Soul Bone had also been taken away.
Even the Godly Zhuge Crossbow could not harm his opponent.
Just as the forest gradually fell quiet again, hurried footsteps suddenly came from the distance.
A figure passed through the bushes and swiftly arrived at the edge of the battlefield.
The newcomer had short dark-blue hair.
Her neat hair fell beside her ears, revealing a fair and delicate face.
She wore a fitted blue-purple short dress.
The hem only reached the middle of her thighs.
Her long, fair legs were exposed, tensing with the momentum of her rapid run, their lines even and powerful.
Dark-blue boots wrapped around her calves.
A thin silver belt circled her waist, perfectly outlining her slender figure.
The fabric over her chest rose and fell gently with her breathing.
After she stopped, the short hair over her forehead was slightly disheveled, and her cheeks carried a flush from running.
Tang Chen recognized her.
Meng Yiran.
The granddaughter of the Unrivaled Dragon Serpent.
Meng Yiran looked at the Man Faced Demon Spider in the forest.
That purple Soul Ring still floated above the corpse.
But the Man Faced Demon Spider had already lost its life.
Her gaze quickly fell on Tang Chen, who stood closest to the corpse.
"Don't move!"
"That Man Faced Demon Spider is mine!"
Meng Yiran strode forward.
She had been searching for this Man Faced Demon Spider for a long time.
She had finally found its trail earlier, only for it to escape beyond her tracking range because it was too fast.
Now that she had found it again, the Man Faced Demon Spider had already been killed.
Meng Yiran did not ask what had happened.
She raised her right hand.
Blue-purple Soul Power rapidly gathered.
A Serpent Cane more than two meters long appeared in her palm.
A vicious snake head was carved at the top of the Serpent Cane.
Its mouth stood open, and two fangs gleamed with purple light.
Meng Yiran gripped the Serpent Cane, and the Soul Ring beneath her feet immediately lit up.
"Snake Lance Pierces the Heart!"
A vast purple radiance burst from the tip of the Serpent Cane.
Her Soul Power swiftly formed into a snake-shaped spear several meters long.
Purple scales covered the spear's surface, while thick poison coiled around its tip.
Meng Yiran thrust both hands forward.
The snake-shaped spear shot through the forest, racing straight for Tang Chen's chest.
Tang Chen remained where he was.
He merely raised his right hand.
Purple-black light flashed across the Destruction Scepter.
A beam of destruction swept out.
The moment the snake-shaped spear touched the power of destruction, the purple scales on its surface shattered one after another.
The poison around its tip was wiped out instantly.
The entire Snake Lance began disintegrating from its front end.
