Lin Kong had to catch up, for a simple reason—he wanted to shatter Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's illusions and sever all their covetousness.
"When I first received the Eight Spider Lances, I wasn't entirely proficient at using them," Lin Kong's calm voice resonated throughout the room, carrying an air of complete control. "But now, I've completely integrated them into my being, as if... they were my own hands and feet."
Yu Xiaogang's smile vanished instantly. As Lin Kong finished speaking, his expression grew increasingly grim, and only one unbelievable thought echoed wildly in his mind: How is this possible? Lin Kong's External Soul Bone has actually fused?
"I know this might be hard to believe." Lin Kong's gaze swept over Yu Xiaogang, a cold smile curving his lips. "Well then, I'll show you!"
As he spoke, Lin Kong's feet slowly left the ground, his body weight entirely supported by his four spider legs. He leaned slightly forward, and the Eight Spider Lances were firmly planted on the ground, like eight flexible limbs, carrying him steadily "standing" in mid-air.
"This feeling is nice."
Lin Kong sighed softly, manipulating the Eight Spider Lances to move alternately, taking a few steps with remarkable stability, as if walking.
The unsuspecting onlookers were dumbfounded, their faces full of confusion. They didn't understand what Lin Kong meant by saying these words, nor did they understand why Lin Kong was "showing off" like this.
Hmm... that feels a bit pretentious!
However, Yu Xiaogang clearly understood the meaning behind this— the External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, had perfectly fused with Lin Kong's body!
Even if they kill Lin Kong, they won't be able to take away this External Soul Bone!
"Impossible! This is impossible!" Yu Xiaogang's mind collapsed. He roared wildly in his heart, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets, his face full of disbelief.
He couldn't accept this fact!
Ever since he guessed that it was External Soul Bone, he had been immersed in wonderful fantasies. The voice in his heart kept telling him that this was indeed External Soul Bone, and that as long as he killed Lin Kong, he could take it and give it to Tang San. He had even begun to plan how powerful Tang San would become after obtaining the Eight Spider Lances, and how he should help Tang San fuse with this External Soul Bone and gradually reach the peak.
But now, a devastating piece of news, like a bolt from the blue, shattered all his illusions!
Lin Kong has actually perfectly fused the Eight Spider Lances!
"Impossible!!"
Unable to suppress his despair and madness any longer, Yu Xiaogang suddenly let out a heart-wrenching roar and went into a state of frenzy.
Everyone instinctively turned to look at him, their faces filled with incomprehension, shock, and confusion. They couldn't understand why Lin Kong's simple demonstration of the Eight Spider Lances ' ability to move would cause this " Grandmaster " to lose his composure like this.
Tang San was also distracted by the sudden roar, and his eyes subconsciously turned to Yu Xiaogang, his heart filled with doubt.
Now!
A cold glint flashed in Lin Kong's eyes, and his speed suddenly increased. His four spider legs plunged into the ground in turn, unleashing a terrifying thrust that propelled his body like an arrow shot from a bow, charging fiercely towards the distracted Tang San.
A fierce gust of wind swept in, and the tips of the Eight Spider Lances gleamed with a cold light, locking onto Tang San's vital points!
"Let me show you how much control I have over the Eight Spider Lances!"
The tip of the Spider Spear grazed Tang San's nose, narrowly missing the mark by a hair's breadth. Although it didn't injure his skin, the sharp gust of wind still made his nose sting.
Tang San broke out in a cold sweat and instinctively used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, his figure retreating rapidly like Gui Mei, narrowly avoiding the attack.
But as soon as he stepped back, Lin Kong's two spider legs, one on the left and one on the right, pierced towards his body again like two sharp swords.
Pfft! Pfft!
Two crisp sounds rang out in succession as the Eight Spider Lances pierced the spot where Tang San had just stood, creating two holes in the ground and sending fragments of stone flying.
To the onlookers, Tang San's figure was sometimes as fast as lightning and sometimes as slow as a fish. Each time, he managed to narrowly avoid the downward piercing attacks of the Eight Spider Lances at the last second, making the scene extremely dangerous.
"This... this..." Dai Mubai were sweating as he looked at it, and he couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. "If it were me, I'd probably be riddled with holes by now."
" Tang San's speed is just too fast!" Oscar exclaimed in shock, filled with amazement at Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
Xiao Wu bit her lip, her expression somewhat complicated. Reason told her that she should cheer for Tang San, but looking at Lin Kong, who was calmly controlling the Eight Spider Lances, her heart couldn't help but waver— Lin Kong wasn't bad either.
Zhu Zhuqing observed Tang San's movements with a cold eye, scrutinizing them before finally offering a brief assessment. "His footwork is exquisite."
Only Ning Rongrong stood aside without any restraint, shouting, " Brother Lin, go for it! Take Tang San down! I'll always support you!"
The battle continued, with one side relentlessly pursuing while the other frantically dodged; in the blink of an eye, two or three minutes had passed.
The fervor that had been on Yu Xiaogang's face was gone, replaced by deep despair.
At first, he could still deceive himself by telling himself that Lin Kong hadn't actually fused with the Eight Spider Lances, and that those words were just to bluff. But now, seeing Lin Kong so skillfully controlling the Eight Spider Lances as if they were his own limbs, each attack precise and ruthless, relentlessly pursuing Tang San, he could no longer fool himself.
Lin Kong has truly mastered the Eight Spider Lances.
We can't take it away, but... killing him would be an option!
Even if they don't get the External Soul Bone, eliminating Lin Kong, an obstacle, and giving Tang San Shao his strongest opponent would be considered achieving their goal.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes gradually turned sinister. He suddenly looked at Flender, his eyes filled with a mixture of pleading and ruthlessness.
Flender had noticed his gaze long ago, and he spoke in a sinister tone, his voice icy. " Xiaogang, what are you thinking?"
"I..." Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, his eyes flickering.
"Do you take me for a fool?" Flender's voice carried a hint of anger. "Can't you understand Lin Kong's words? Don't you understand that the External Soul Bone has already merged with him, and even killing him won't take it away?"
Yu Xiaogang remained silent for a few seconds, but finally gritted his teeth and said what was on his mind, "I just want to kill him! Even if I can't take the External Soul Bone, I still want to kill him! As long as he's alive, he'll always be a threat to Xiao San!"
Flender looked at his almost obsessive appearance, sighed heavily, and slowly closed his eyes.
This is his brother who grew up with him, one of the people he cherishes most in his life, and Lin Kong is also a student he highly values.
Finally, Flender spoke slowly, his voice filled with exhaustion. " Shrek, no one will help you."
The two spoke in hushed tones, unheard by the others who were focused on the chase between Lin Kong and Tang San.
"We've been playing for so long, that's enough!" Lin Kong said lightly. He was sure that Flender knew what he wanted to tell him, so there was no need to dawdle. He should just get rid of Tang San decisively!
The Eight Spider Lances, which had always been thrusting vertically downwards, suddenly changed their attack method, sweeping horizontally towards Tang San. Whoosh, a black crescent moon vaguely appeared in the air, and Tang San's forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat.
The vertical thrusts of the Eight Spider Lances were easy to dodge, but now that they're horizontal slashes, the difficulty of dodging has increased many times over. And given how used to that dodging method, now...
In the vision of the Purple Demon Eye, a spider leg slashed horizontally towards his waist, while another spider leg stabbed downwards, blocking his escape route. Tang San gritted his teeth and released his Third Soul Skill, Spider Web Restraint!
A ball of light was released from his hand, flying about a foot away before unfolding into a large net woven from Blue Silver spider silk, attempting to bind Lin Kong, but...
Lin Kong already knew what his Third Soul Skill was!
A spider leg casually flicked out and snatched the web away, then wiggled a few times before wrapping itself around it. If it were anything else, the corrosive toxin on the spider web would be effective, but unfortunately, this was Eight Spider Lances, which shares the same origin as the corrosive toxin, so it was completely ignored.
Furthermore, the devouring effect activated, and the spider web was completely absorbed, transforming into pure Soul Power that entered Lin Kong's body, increasing his level.
"It's over!"
Two spider legs were inserted into Tang San's body, one of which stopped at his waist.
"Just imagine if I were to prick you, poison you, and then have to suck out the poison to save you, I feel disgusted. Otherwise..."
Otherwise what?
Of course, I would have already stabbed him and secured the victory!
This statement, combined with the current situation, becomes even more convincing, making Tang San appear even more like a mouse, a mouse being played!
Tang San's face gradually flushed red with humiliation!
