This day.
Dugu Feng suddenly sensed movement—two Core Pearls had left Heaven Dou City and were approaching Sunset Forest.
Through his perception, he confirmed they belonged to the Core Pearls within Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
After the Soul Master Competition, Ning Rongrong had continued training with the others from Shrek Academy.
She and Zhu Zhuqing formed a duo, while the seven of them remained a team.
They continuously participated in team battles of varying levels at the Great Soul Arena in Heaven Dou City.
This way, her support abilities were constantly being honed.
"Tang San has reached Soul Ancestor and is heading to Sunset Forest to hunt for a Spirit Ring? And he plans to absorb another Man-faced Demon Spider's Spirit Ring?"
A peculiar expression crossed Dugu Feng's face.
This was the information he had gleaned from the Core Pearls.
Interesting. Very interesting!
It seemed Tang San, much like Hu Liena, was deeply obsessed with obtaining an External Soul Bone.
After discussions with Yu Xiaogang, Tang San had concluded that the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was highly compatible with the Man-faced Demon Spider.
Moreover, during his last Spirit Ring absorption, he had exceeded the limit for the third ring, which resulted in the appearance of an External Soul Bone.
If he repeated this approach, there was a high chance another External Soul Bone would manifest.
Thus, their target was a Man-faced Demon Spider around seven thousand years old.
The maximum age for a fourth Spirit Ring was typically a five-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
However, Tang San had trained in the Mystic Heaven Skill since childhood and, under Yu Xiaogang's insistence, exercised daily.
After testing, it was determined he could surpass the limit by nearly two thousand years when absorbing Spirit Rings.
"Will Tang San obtain another External Soul Bone?"
Dugu Feng frowned in thought.
In the original timeline, the evolution of Tang San's Eight Spider Lances occurred after devouring another Man-faced Demon Spider—equivalent to obtaining another Soul Bone, which then merged with his existing Eight Spider Lances.
This was what facilitated their evolution.
From this perspective, Tang San's connection to the Man-faced Demon Spider ran deep!
Splash!
Dugu Feng emerged from the water and changed into a dark green martial outfit.
After two months of cultivation in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he had fully recovered to peak condition.
With a wave of his right hand, he stored the Eight-Angle Black Ice Herb away once more.
"Master, two Titled Douluos arrived in Sunset Forest several days ago—one with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul and the other with an Earth Dragon Spirit!"
"They've been hiding very carefully. They must be up to no good!"
The two Emerald Dragon Snakes, seeing Dugu Feng emerge from the Yin-Yang Well, eagerly reported.
Dugu Feng's eyes lit up.
Yu Yuanzhen was here.
As for the other Titled Douluo with the Earth Dragon Spirit—was this a hidden powerhouse from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, or someone from Spirit Hall?
He sensed an opportunity.
Tang San was coming.
Yu Yuanzhen was here too.
This was no coincidence.
It seemed Yu Yuanzhen intended to hunt Tang San.
This would mean a complete break with the Clear Sky Sect—something he wouldn't dare without Spirit Hall's backing.
Thus, the Earth Dragon Spirit Titled Douluo was likely from Spirit Hall.
"Tang San needs a Man-faced Demon Spider around seven thousand years old. Follow them from the shadows and remain hidden.
Act according to my orders!"
Dugu Feng made a swift decision and issued his commands.
"Yes, Master!"
The two Emerald Dragon Snakes, always eager for chaos, were thrilled to finally have something major to do.
After the Emerald Dragon Snake flew away, Dugu Feng stood atop the peak of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, gazing over the entire Sunset Forest.
Who was the hunter, and who was the prey?
Beneath a towering tree at the forest's edge.
Two burly figures descended from the sky, landing steadily on the ground.
"Brother Hao, is Xiao San really going to attempt absorbing a Spirit Ring beyond his limits? With his talent, there's no need to take such risks. Could it be that Yu Xiaogang is trying to harm Xiao San through this?" Tang Xiao frowned.
These two were none other than the brothers Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.
This was Tang San's first time leaving Heaven Dou City since the Soul Master Competition.
Within Heaven Dou City, there were Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, and Dugu Bo. Thus, no one dared to act recklessly there.
But outside Heaven Dou City was a different story.
Not only were there enemies like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, but also the Spirit Hall, the sworn foe of the Clear Sky Sect.
Any of them might attempt to kill Tang San, the possessor of Twin Soul Spirits.
Therefore, the two brothers dared not relax in the slightest, cautiously guarding the area.
"Big Brother, Grandmaster is now also Xiao San's father. In terms of care and nurturing, Grandmaster has given far more than I ever did. He truly treats Xiao San as his own son! Even after what happened with Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, Grandmaster remained wholeheartedly devoted to teaching Xiao San," Tang Hao said earnestly.
"I hope you're not mistaken. But the probability of obtaining an External Soul Bone is too low. To risk one's life absorbing a Spirit Ring beyond the limit just for an External Soul Bone—it still feels too dangerous to me!" Tang Xiao, being a cautious man, only wished for Tang San to progress steadily in his cultivation.
"You must believe in Xiao San. He's stronger than we were at his age!" Tang Hao struggled to suppress his emotions.
He was immensely proud of Tang San—worthy of being his, Tang Hao's, son.
At just sixteen years old, Tang San had already reached the Soul Ancestor level.
After absorbing the Spirit Ring, he could train under the waterfall using the Clear Sky Sect's secret techniques.
Perhaps in a very short time, his son could advance to Soul King. Then, after undergoing Spirit Awakening to transform his Blue Silver Grass Soul Spirit into the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit, his son would truly come into his own.
Tang Hao had already charted the path for his son.
If he could obtain an External Soul Bone this time, his son's future would be even more unimaginable.
Tang Xiao patted Tang Hao's shoulder. "Of course I believe in Xiao San. I believe he will definitely succeed!"
Tang Xiao extended his spiritual sense and saw the Shrek Seven Devils, along with Grandmaster, Liu Erlong, and Flender, finally entering Sunset Forest to begin their search for the Man-faced Demon Spider.
The two brothers followed closely, ready to intervene at any moment.
Should Tang San encounter danger, their enemies would face their thunderous retaliation.
Not far from Tang San and his group, a finger-length transparent Little Snake slithered through the dense thorny undergrowth.
Its entire body was translucent, making it nearly unnoticeable.
Now approaching thirty thousand years in age, the Emerald Dragon Snake's stealth abilities had grown even more formidable.
Even a Titled Douluo would struggle to detect it unless observing at close range.
Its blood-red eyes fixed intently on Tang San and his companions.
Among the group, Flender seemed much more confident this time.
On one hand, the Golden Iron Triangle was reunited—with their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the three could hold their own against formidable foes.
On the other, the Haotian Douluo and Xiao Tian Douluo were nearby. With two Titled Douluos protecting them, what did he have to fear?
"Big Brother Flender, we've already entered the thousand-year Spirit Beast zone. Searching aimlessly like this isn't effective. Why don't you use your Martial Soul Avatar to quickly locate a Man-faced Demon Spider?"
Yu Xiaogang said to Flender.
Normally, to train the Seven Devils, they would have them search for Spirit Beasts themselves. Even if it wasted several days, it would be worthwhile.
But now that Tang San's talent had been exposed, the longer they stayed, the greater the danger they might encounter.
Yu Xiaogang was growing anxious.
