—------------------—
A huge black shadow flashed by, and the Titan Ape ignored the obstruction of the Shrek people, grabbed Xiao Wu, turned around and ran towards the depths of the forest.
"Xiao Wu!"
Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, and he ignored Zhao Wuji's obstruction. After his martial spirit possessed him, he madly chased the Titan Giant Ape in the direction it left.
"Here's my chance!"
Xue Tianxing's eyes flashed, and he immediately jumped down from the tree. Relying on the speed advantage of his Ice Phoenix spirit, he followed Tang San from a distance.
He clearly remembered that when Tang San was chasing the Titan Giant Ape, he would definitely encounter the key human-faced demon spider.
Sure enough, after chasing for several miles, Tang San stopped beside a dark canyon - a huge human-faced demon spider with eight legs on its back was blocking his way, its ugly face full of ferocity.
This was exactly what Xue Tianxing was waiting for! Tang San didn't hesitate at all, and the Blue Silver Grass gushed out crazily, wrapping around the Man-Faced Demon Spider.
The human-faced demon spider sprayed out spider silk to fight back, and its sharp spider legs cut through the air like blades.
The man and the spider were entangled in a fight in an instant. Tang San gradually gained the upper hand with his flexible body movements and endless hidden weapons, but it also consumed a lot of soul power.
Xue Tianxing hid behind the rocks in the canyon and carefully observed the battle situation. After confirming that this human-faced demon spider was the one with external soul bones in the original book, he kept his troops in place and waited for the best opportunity.
Finally, Tang San seized the opportunity and accurately pierced the eyes of the human-faced demon spider with his hidden weapons.
The human-faced demon spider let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground with a bang.
Tang San panted and walked to the corpse of the human-faced demon spider, ready to absorb the spirit ring.
Just then, Xue Tian took action!
He shot out like an arrow, and the soul power in his body exploded instantly, but Xue Tianxing did not use the ice phoenix soul power, but the six-winged angel soul power.
A palm wind containing extreme light suddenly slapped towards Tang San's back.
Tang San had just experienced a fierce battle and his soul power was severely depleted. He had no time to react and was hit by a palm. His eyes went black and he fell straight down without even being able to see Xue Tianxing's appearance clearly.
Of course, Xue Tianxing also thought about getting rid of Tang San directly, but just when Xue Tianxing was about to take action, he found that his hair stood on end, and it was as if there was a voice in his heart telling him that he could not get rid of Tang San now, otherwise he would be destroyed. Xue Tianxing knew that it was the correcting power of the God Realm that was stopping him.
Then Xue Tianxing came to the corpse of the human-faced demon spider without any hesitation, drew the dagger from his waist, and quickly cut open its back - an external soul bone "Eight Spider Lance" with a black and purple light and shaped like a spider leg was clearly visible.
Xue Tianxing took off the Eight Spider Lance and put it into his storage ring. Then he glanced at the unconscious Tang San without any reluctance, turned around and turned into a shadow, quickly disappearing into the depths of the forest.
After Xue Tianxing left completely, the unconscious Tang San slowly woke up.
He looked around blankly and found that the body of the human-faced demon spider was intact, but the soul ring had not condensed, and there were obvious signs of being dissected on the back of the body.
"Where's my spirit ring? And...what was that thing taken away?"
Tang San's heart was filled with confusion and anger, but he didn't know who was attacking him secretly. He could only grit his teeth, force himself to stand up slowly.
At this time, Xue Tianxing had already left the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
He touched the Eight Spider Lance in the storage ring and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Although the world's correction force is powerful, he still successfully intercepted this critical opportunity.
Tang San's future growth will inevitably be affected by losing the Eight Spider Lances, and this is exactly what Xue Tianxing wants.
After intercepting the Eight Spider Lance, Xue Tianxing did not stop at all. Relying on the flying ability of the Ice Phoenix Martial Spirit, he rushed all the way and returned to the Barak Kingdom in just half a day.
As soon as he entered the palace, he went straight to the training ground, took out the Eight Spider Lance from the storage ring and examined it carefully - this external soul bone was glowing with a dark purple light, its surface was covered with fine lines, and it faintly exuded a hint of murderous aura.
Xue Tianxing had no intention of absorbing it, but kept it carefully. At this moment, Xue Tianxing felt relieved.
On the other side, in the Star Dou Great Forest, after the unconscious Tang San woke up, he looked at the empty corpse of the human-faced demon spider, his heart filled with anger and confusion.
He didn't know who had attacked him, nor what had been taken away, but the most urgent task at the moment was to obtain the third soul ring.
In desperation, he could only continue to go deeper into the forest, and finally, with the help of Zhao Wuji, he hunted down a two thousand year old "Venomous Fang Spider".
Although this soul beast is not as powerful as the human-faced demon spider, it can also provide suitable soul rings. Its soul skill is also "Spider Web Binding", but it lacks the blessing of external soul bones.
After absorbing the spirit ring, Tang San returned to the academy with Shrek and the others, full of doubts.
After returning to Shrek Academy, the plot once again moves closer to the trajectory of the original novel - Yu Xiaogang arrives at the academy as scheduled and becomes the instructor of several Shrek students.
As soon as he arrived at the academy, he began to implement his own "devil training method", requiring students to undergo high-intensity physical and spiritual training, under the euphemism of "laying a solid foundation."
But all this seemed particularly ridiculous in Ning Rongrong's eyes.
As the little princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, she has been practicing in a simulated training room since she was young. The training environment there can accurately simulate the aura of various soul beasts, greatly improving the efficiency of training.
In her opinion, Yu Xiaogang's training method is clumsy and inefficient:
"After tossing around like this for a month, I'd rather spend a week in the sect's mimicry training room and make faster progress."
She couldn't help but complain in her heart, but she could only pretend to be obedient on her face.
What made Ning Rongrong even more disgusted was that Yu Xiaogang seemed to be particularly "caring" for Tang San.
Not only did he often guide Tang San alone, he also always mentioned in front of her intentionally or unintentionally that "control-type soul masters need to accurately control soul power and so on", hinting that she should share the core secret of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the "Distraction Control Method", with Tang San.
"Why should I teach him the sect's secret techniques?"
Ning Rongrong was full of resistance and always found excuses to change the subject, but Yu Xiaogang persisted, which made her more and more disgusted.
Ning Rongrong also felt out of place with the other students in the academy.
Zhu Zhuqing was so focused on cultivation that she didn't want to worry about other things;
Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai are playful, but they always like to make fun of her background;
Although Xiao Wu is warm and welcoming, she is inseparable from Tang San and has no extra energy to take care of her.
Ning Rongrong suddenly missed the days in Barak Palace - Xue Tianxing's gentleness, Shui Bing'er's friendliness, Shui Yue'er's liveliness, as well as Oscar and Dugu Yan. That was a truly relaxed and happy atmosphere.
If it weren't for Tang San's method of making hidden weapons, Ning Rongrong would have packed her bags and left long ago.
