Douluo: I am a biologist, awakening the weapon spirit?

Chapter 102 Breakthrough

Hidden weapons must be poisoned.

But over the years, Tang San has had little chance to collect poisons.

Therefore, the hidden weapons he had used to help Chen Feng comprehend swordsmanship were not poisonous.

Now that he has encountered the highly poisonous human-faced demon spider, Tang San naturally does not want to miss it.

"You kid actually has this hobby. Okay, it's not a big deal." Zhao Wuji agreed to Tang San's request.

At this moment, there was a rustling sound coming from the front, which was the sound of the human-faced demon spider moving quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a giant spider covered in a black shell appeared in front of everyone.

As soon as the human-faced demon spider appeared, Zhao Wuji's third, fourth, and fifth soul rings lit up.

The movement speed of the human-faced demon spider suddenly slowed down a lot. Zhao Wuji jumped up without hesitation to the side of the human-faced demon spider and pressed it to the ground with a slap.

First, he was affected by the increased gravity, and then he was squeezed by Zhao Wuji's fifth soul skill, gravity.

The human-faced demon spider was immediately pressed to the ground by Zhao Wuji, and its eight legs were paddling around randomly.

Without saying a word, Zhao Wuji punched the human-faced demon spider on the head, knocking it unconscious.

For him, who had gone with Flanders to collect dragon blood many times, this kind of thing had become a matter of practice.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt a chill in their hearts and withdrew their martial spirits.

They knew that Zhao Wuji must have let them off the hook on the day of the assessment, but now it seems that it can't even be called letting them off the hook, it's simply letting the sea off the hook.

If Zhao Wuji had used this combination of skills that day, he would probably have been able to take care of all the people taking the test in a few moves.

Zhao Wuji felt a little proud after showing off this move. He still cared a lot about his failure in the previous assessment.

Because he did not accurately grasp the strength of the soul master in the foundation-building era, he used five soul skills including the ten thousand year soul skill, but in the end he was still just a little bit short of time, which made him very unhappy.

Now feeling the students' surprised and respectful gazes, Zhao Wuji suddenly felt as refreshed as if he had drunk ice water on a hot day.

He kept a reserved expression on his face and nodded to Tang San.

"Come and get the venom."

Tang San was about to step forward when a pleasant female voice sounded.

"Stop, this is my prey."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw two figures walking out of the woods.

One of the figures was an old woman with white hair, while the other was a beautiful girl with short blue-gray hair.

The girl had some blue eye shadow and purple lipstick, a neat outfit that showed off her well-developed figure, and a pair of gloves made of some unknown leather on her hands.

Her temperament is more mature than the four girls in Shrek, and her beautiful appearance attracts the attention of boys.

Oscar, in particular, stared intently at the girl who suddenly appeared.

Chen Feng was also looking at Meng Yiran in a trance, but he was not paying attention to Meng Yiran's appearance. Instead, he was a little surprised by the soul ring on her body.

There were three soul rings, two yellow and one purple, indicating that Meng Yiran was already a Soul Master at this time.

She was already a Soul Master? But if she was already a Soul Master, why was she still chasing the Hunter-Manned Demon Spider? Chen Feng was puzzled.

Just as he was watching Meng Yiran lost in thought, he suddenly felt a pain in his waist.

Chen Feng turned around and saw Ning Rongrong staring at him angrily.

"Does it look good?"

"Beautiful. No, I'm not looking at her." Chen Feng responded subconsciously, but quickly realized his mistake and changed his words.

"Then what are you looking at?" Ning Rongrong looked at him suspiciously.

"I'm looking at her, uh, spirit ring." Chen Feng answered honestly.

"Hahahaha" Dai Mubai, who was standing in front of Chen Feng, couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard the conversation behind.

"What are you laughing at?" Meng Yiran didn't hear the conversation between Chen Feng and Ning Rongrong, and thought Dai Mubai was laughing at her, so she asked angrily.

"Uh, I remembered something happy. I wasn't laughing at you." Dai Mubai waved his hand and explained.

Meng Yiran frowned. She still felt that Dai Mubai was laughing at her for stealing the prey, so she pointed at the human-faced demon spider and said:

"This prey originally belonged to me. If you don't believe me, just look at its abdomen. There are the wounds inflicted by my grandmother."

Zhao Wuji turned the human-faced demon spider over doubtfully and found that there were indeed several new scars on its abdomen, which were obviously caused not long ago.

Zhao Wuji looked at the old woman beside Meng Yiran, his eyes fell on the snake staff in her hand, and asked:
"May I ask if you are the Senior Snake Woman among the peerless dragons and snakes?"

"I don't deserve the title, senior. My real name is Chaotianxiang. Snake Lady is a title given to me by my friends in the soul master world. I haven't asked for the soul saint's full name yet." The old woman said with a smile.

"My name is Zhao Wuji." Zhao Wuji gave his name calmly. He felt that this matter was not difficult to solve, so he did not feel any pressure.

"Senior Snake Woman, you probably want to use this human-faced demon spider as your granddaughter's spirit ring, right? Actually, there's no conflict between us, as I, your student, simply want to extract some of its venom."

Chen Feng looked towards Meng Yiran, wanting to see how they would respond.

He didn't quite believe that Meng Yiran was already level 40 at this time. After all, in the original novel, she was only level 30 at this time, and even cheats didn't allow her to reach level 40 like this.

Unless he ate the magic grass, but on the one hand, Dugu Bo has only been missing for less than two years, so he still has some deterrent effect.

Secondly, the poison formation that Dugu Bob had set up in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire was still very terrifying, and Chen Feng didn't believe that anyone could break into the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

Even if you break in, eating anything inside will kill you.

Sure enough, Chao Tianxiang shook her head and said:
"Acalanatha has misunderstood. My granddaughter is not even level 40 yet, and it's not time for her to hunt for spirit rings. She also wants the venom of the human-faced demon spider."

"Hiss~" Zhao Wuji's face became a little stiff.

Things will be difficult if both parties have the same goal.

At this time, Tang San spoke:

"Excuse me, young lady, what do you want the venom for? I don't need much. If possible, could you give me some?"

"No." Meng Yiran shook her head. "I want all the venom."

Tang San frowned, and Xiao Wu immediately started to criticize him: "Hey! You're too overbearing, aren't you? Although you discovered the Man-Faced Demon Spider first, we were the ones who caught it. Now we're asking you for some venom and you won't give us any. How can you do things like that?"

"That's right, if it weren't for us, you don't know if you can catch the human-faced demon spider." Oscar helped out.

Although the girl's appearance attracted him a little, Xiao Wu had given him a ring, so he naturally had to help Xiao Wu.

Even if we put aside the storage soul guide, as a classmate he has the obligation to help.

Others also agreed and felt that this grandparents and grandchildren were not doing a good job.

Meng Yiran's face turned red with anger, but Chao Tianxiang patted her shoulder calmly to calm her down.

Zhao Wuji stepped on the unconscious human-faced demon spider, spread his hands and said:

"Sister Chao, you see, what my students said makes sense. After all, we caught the Man-Faced Demon Spider. Isn't it a bit amiss for you to keep it all to yourself?"

Chao Tianxiang sighed and said:

"Acalanatha, you don't know. It's not that we don't want to give up some of our venom, it's just that we can't."

"Tsk! Why don't I believe it?" Xiao Wu rolled her eyes and said.

"Oh? Then I'd like to hear Sister Chao's reasons." Zhao Wuji was actually a little skeptical.

But he knew very well that he could not afford to offend this snake woman, because the dragon and the snake were always inseparable, and the dragon man might be somewhere nearby, so it was definitely not possible to attack him.

Chao Tianxiang had no intention of taking action. She knew that she was no match for Zhao Wuji, so she could only reason with him.

She pointed at the soul ring on Meng Yiran and said:

"Everyone should know Master Chen Feng's foundation-building method, right? The reason my granddaughter wants the venom of the human-faced demon spider is because she needs it for her foundation-building ring.

"The poisonous spirit beasts in the Xingdou Great Forest are very cunning. We finally found a human-faced demon spider with great difficulty. This is related to my granddaughter's cultivation. I really can't let any venom out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San's eyes changed, but he restrained himself from looking back, and his expression did not change obviously.

Xiao Wu asked directly:
"Isn't your granddaughter an artifact spirit? How could she obtain the foundation-building ring?"

"Hmph! You don't understand this, right? Although my snake staff is indeed an artifact spirit, it has the characteristics of being alive, so I can obtain the foundation-building ring." Meng Yiran shook the snake staff in his hand with some pride.

However, she did not succeed in obtaining the foundation-building ring in one go. She failed with the second soul ring and only succeeded with the third soul ring. But there is no need to talk about this.

Chen Feng only felt his heart pounding at this moment. He had been looking for a breakthrough in researching the weapon spirit.

And now, the breakthrough may have been found!

Tang San was also very excited at this time. He knew very well what difficulties Chen Feng was facing, and the girl in front of him who successfully obtained the foundation-building ring might bring a breakthrough to Chen Feng's research.

"I don't want the venom of the human-faced demon spider. You guys can take it." Tang San said without hesitation.

Xiao Wu next to him didn't say anything, but Zhao Wuji asked in surprise:

"you sure?"

"Sure. Sorry, Mr. Zhao, your efforts were in vain."

"Why are you saying this?" Zhao Wuji didn't quite understand why Tang San and Xiao Wu changed their attitude, but he still grabbed the human-faced demon spider under his feet and threw it at the grandfather and grandson opposite.

She lightly tapped the Chaotian Fragrance Snake Staff to catch the human-faced demon spider and looked at Zhao Wuji in surprise. She didn't expect that the notorious Acala would be so easy to talk to this time.

She nodded and said:
"I will remember your kindness this time, Acala. If there's anything I can help you with, please let me know."

"Can you let us see your granddaughter using the Foundation Establishment Ring?" Tang San said at this time.

Chao Tianxiang thought about it and felt that it was not a big deal, so she said to Meng Yiran:
"Then you should just absorb the venom here, and save yourself the trouble of carrying this giant spider around."

"Yes, grandma." Meng Yiran came to the unconscious human-faced demon spider and turned the snake staff in his hand upside down and stabbed it into the gap of the human-faced demon spider's carapace.

This is where the poison sac of the human-faced demon spider is located.

After the snake staff pierced the human-faced demon spider, the snake head on the staff suddenly came to life and began to swallow.

This scene shocked everyone in Shrek.

"This snake staff is actually alive. I never realized this before." Zhao Wuji said as he moved closer.

Chen Feng activated the Purple Demonic Eye, observing every detail on Meng Yiran's snake staff, and an idea gradually emerged in his mind.

Since this snake staff can come alive, does it have a soul? How can he verify this hypothesis?
As a biologist from Earth, the soul is something he has never come into contact with. All his understanding of the soul comes from the fantasy works he read in his previous life.

But the question is, are those fantasy settings...really reliable?

Before Chen Feng's travel, the existence of the soul had never been verified. It was generally believed to be a supernatural thing, and more of a complex philosophical and religious concept.

Even the so-called statement that "a person's weight will decrease by 21 grams after death" is not enough to prove the existence of the soul, because it may be caused by the release of energy after cell apoptosis.

Therefore, the research progress of scientists on Earth on the soul is almost non-existent.

In this strange world, souls do exist, but this world doesn't actually do much research on souls.

Everyone only cares about the strength of their own military power. There are very few people doing research. It can be said that the average academic level is very low.

If Chen Feng wants to delve deeper into the realm of the soul, the only way is to take the risk of awakening the Yin Sword and use the power of the Yin Sword to sense the soul.

This brings him back to the problem that he had struggled with many times, that is, whether to awaken the Yin Sword, and how to ensure that he would not go crazy after awakening the Yin Sword.

Perhaps I can try to acquire a soul skill that can maintain my sanity, but since I can think of this method, can't anyone in the Chen family who has been able to think of it for generations? Chen Feng's brows gradually furrowed.

If he is the only one left in his lineage because no one else has come up with this solution, then things would be easy to handle.

Chen Feng was afraid that someone from previous generations had come up with this idea, but in the end he was the only one left, which would be a bit scary.

But he still had to try it anyway. In order to make the soul skill more effective, he planned to wait until he reached level 40 to acquire this soul skill.

As the Kan hexagram is a water hexagram, Chen Feng feels that it is quite compatible with mental soul skills, as it can make one's mind as calm as still water.

He could even try the ice attribute and create a soul skill similar to Nie Feng's Ice Heart Technique. Although it might not succeed, he could be prepared for both situations.

After Chen Feng sorted out the plan, Meng Yiran's process of extracting venom also came to an end.

As the snake head on the staff stopped swallowing, Meng Yiran pulled the snake staff out of the poison sac of the human-faced demon spider.

There was still some purple-black venom on the head of the staff, but the venom was quickly absorbed by the snake staff and disappeared.
