Eight Spider Lances, Huo Lei inspected Tang San's belt

Jin Shan gave a helpless, bitter smile and remained silent.

An Jun stared in shock, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python! These... these are legendary Soul Beast. Huo Lei, you're really dreaming. But it'll be difficult for my brother and me to hunt them down."

Huo Lei said, "Senior An Jun, don't underestimate yourself. You are, after all, a Super Douluo, and you possess a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, plus four Soul Bone to enhance you. If you are still timid, your future achievements will be limited. Your current configuration is far superior to that of my teacher back then. When my teacher had just reached the Titled Douluo level, he had the courage to challenge the Titan Giant Ape. If the Sky Azure Bull Python hadn't suddenly appeared, that battle would have been inevitable. You should learn more from my teacher and dare to break through your own limits."

An Jun looked at Jin Shan, pointed at Huo Lei, and said, "Brother, your apprentice really knows how to talk! He even used reverse psychology."

An Jun shifted his gaze to Huo Lei, "I only said that hunting them would be a bit difficult, when did I show any cowardice? If you, Huo Lei, dare to go, I dare to go too. Ever since becoming Super Douluo, I've always wanted to challenge Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. This is a rare opportunity, and I'm more than excited."

Huo Lei said righteously, "Senior An Jun, I wasn't trying to provoke you, but rather to encourage you. The more you fight against stronger opponents, the faster you'll progress and the more you'll learn."

An Jun suddenly realized, and said with a half-smile, "Oh! I see! Then let's have a spar sometime! It'll be good for you too."

Jin Shan laughed heartily, looking like he was enjoying the show, and said, "Hahaha! Second brother, that's a good retort. Brat, do you dare to accept the challenge?"

Huo Lei readily replied, "Why wouldn't I dare? Once I obtain my Eighth Soul Ring, I'll be ready to fight anytime."

An Jun smiled wryly, "Let's forget it! You're full of good stuff. Once you get your Eighth Soul Ring and absorb Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, your combat power will be unpredictable. There's no benefit in sparring with you, only harm. It's not a worthwhile deal."

"No! Senior An Jun..." Huo Lei was about to say something when Jin Shan interrupted him.

"Alright! Now's not the time for banter. You brat, how many people are going to the Star Dou Great Forest? When are we going? Have you thought about all of that?"

"It's decided. There will be five of us: the teacher, Senior An Jun, Lin Yin, my father, and me. We'll leave tomorrow morning," Huo Lei replied to Jin Shan.

"Okay! By the way, I don't plan to absorb this External Soul Bone that I took from Tang San. It's full of toxins. I'm not interested in these eight spider legs. You can distribute it!" Jin Shan said, flipping his right hand and taking out a blue-purple Soul Bone.

This blue-purple Soul Bone is the Eight Spider Lances. At this moment, the Eight Spider Lances are not in the form of eight legs; they are just a simple Soul Bone, somewhat similar to Trunk Bone. Only after being absorbed can they release eight long legs.

Huo Lei Huo Lei gave a wry smile; he hadn't expected anyone to dislike External Soul Bone. He took the External Soul Bone from Jin Shan, looked at An Jun, and said, "Senior An Jun, this Soul Bone is called the Eight Spider Lances, just as the teacher described. This Soul Bone is filled with toxins; after absorption, it can release eight long legs like a spider. If you're willing to absorb it, it's yours. I already have the External Soul Bone Thunder Wings, so I can't absorb this Soul Bone."

"Huo Lei, you should keep this External Soul Bone for yourself! I'm not good at using poison, and I cultivate the ice and snow attribute. After hearing your description of it, I don't really like its appearance either." An Jun his hand, refusing Huo Lei's offer.

This was the first time Huo Lei had ever encountered a situation where External Soul Bone was rejected by two people. For a moment, he felt both amused and helpless. Huo Lei nodded and said, "Alright then! I'll keep it for now."

After parting ways with Jin Shan and An Jun, Huo Lei went to find Lin Yin. He gave Lin Yin the External Soul Bone, and this time he was not refused. Lin Yin was overjoyed to receive the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone. Although the Eight Spider Lances were not very aesthetically pleasing, it was still a precious External Soul Bone. Moreover, its quality had reached 30,000 years.

Soul Bone, once absorbed by Soul Master, will bring certain benefits. Putting aside Soul Skill, quality, and appearance, they can at least enhance the absorber's Soul Power and physical strength.

When Huo Lei sent out the Eight Spider Lances, he urged Lin Yin to absorb them as soon as possible and to familiarize himself with and master their uses.

As night fell, Huo Lei returned to his room, sat cross-legged on his soft bed, and took out the Storage Soul Tool he had obtained from Tang San from his Storage Ring. It was the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moonlit Night, composed of twenty-four white gemstones.

Huo Lei released his spiritual power to examine every gem in the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moonlit Night.

"Flying God Claw, Godly Zhuge Crossbow, Mother-Son Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Balls, Yama's Invitation, clothes, various seasonings, and this is... Gold Soul Card! Gold Soul Card worth nearly five million Gold Soul Coin. I'm rich!" Huo Lei muttered the name of each item he found. When he saw the seven-digit number on the Gold Soul Card, he was so excited that he almost fainted.

Tang San obtained his Gold Soul Card from Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School. Ning Fengzhi purchased 500 sets of Hidden Weapon from Tang San, each set costing 10,000 Gold Soul Coin, so the card originally had 5 million Gold Soul Coin on it. After Tang San returned to the academy, Ning Fengzhi's daughter, Ning Rongrong, told her friends about this, which sparked a fight between Oscar and Ma Hongjun over Tang San's Gold Soul Card. During the struggle, the Gold Soul Card accidentally fell into Xiao Wu's hands, so Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong started spending the Gold Soul Card.

"Four million nine hundred and ninety-five thousand five hundred Gold Soul Coin! That's great. With this Gold Soul Card, I won't have to worry about Gold Soul Coin anymore." Huo Lei read the number on the Gold Soul Card carefully in a low voice, his golden eyes flashing with a sharp light, and his handsome face full of a bright smile.

A quarter of an hour later, Huo Lei's excitement subsided, and he muttered to himself, "I can use most of the items in the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moonlit Night, but I can't use this Yama's Invitation."

Huo Lei retrieved the Flying God Claw, Godly Zhuge Crossbow, and Mother-Son Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Balls from the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moonlit Night and stored them in his Storage Ring. He also put the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moonlit Night away. He did this to make it more convenient to use them. He then checked the Sleeve Arrow he had made and had been binding on his right forearm. Only after confirming that there were no problems did he feel at ease.

Huo Lei was about to head to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. While filled with excitement, he also felt a pang of unease. This trip into the Star Dou Great Forest wasn't just about hunting Soul Ring; they also had to face the powerful search team sent by the Spirit Hall. They couldn't afford the slightest miscalculation in timing; otherwise, their group of five might not only fail to hunt the Soul Ring but also expose their identities. Worse still, there could even be casualties. These were situations Huo Lei didn't want to see, so his heart naturally grew even more tense.

Huo Lei tidied everything up and lay in bed waiting for tomorrow to arrive. Gradually, he drifted off to sleep.
