Douluo Continent: I teach and nurture students at Tianshui Academy!

Had something gone wrong? Or had he failed to kill Tang San? The more he thought about it, the more something seemed amiss.

Logically, if he attacked Tang San, Tang Hao would definitely have intervened. So why didn't Tang Hao intervene? Was he not there? And whose was the killing intent I sensed in Soul Hunter Town?

Could it be the Demon Soul Cult?

The little spider, huddled and trembling, saw Tang San being killed and a look of surprise appeared in its eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and it continued to pretend to be extremely frightened.

Gu Shenge wasn't happy at all about killing Tang San. Something was very wrong; there were too many suspicious points, and Tang San's death seemed too easy.

However, the most important matter at the moment is not this, but the human-faced demon spider.

Gu Shenge ignored the Shrek students. He withdrew his aura, and everyone felt a lightness on their backs, collapsing to the ground, panting heavily. He then turned to look at the dumbfounded Zhu Zhuqing.

This was the first time the little wildcat had ever witnessed her teacher display such power; his sun god-like demeanor left her completely stunned.

Seeing that the little wildcat was not moving, Gu Shenge spoke up to remind her.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and deal with that human-faced spider demon."

"oh oh!"

Zhu Zhuqing snapped out of her daze, took the fine gold dagger and walked toward the human-faced demon spider. Just as she was about to learn about the human-faced demon spider, Gu Shenge seemed to think of something and immediately told her to wait.

"Xiao Qing, wait a moment."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing stopped and turned to look at her teacher with a puzzled expression. What was wrong now?

In contrast, Gu Shengge appeared deep in thought.

The reason why the Man-Faced Demon Spider could grant Tang San the Eight Spider Spears was because Tang San was the protagonist of Douluo Continent, and he was blessed by destiny and luck, rather than because killing the Man-Faced Demon Spider would guarantee the acquisition of the Eight Spider Spears.

If Zhu Zhuqing kills this human-faced demon spider but fails to obtain the Eight Spider Spears, wouldn't that be a waste of one of her soul ring slots?

Gu Shenge hesitated. He wasn't a gambler; he preferred stability.

After a moment of contemplation, he turned his gaze to Meng Yiran.

She looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with short, blue-gray hair. She was pretty with delicate features and wore rather glamorous makeup. Her blue eyes were fixed on Mengde, and there was a blue-gray snake pattern at the corner of her left eye. Her round lips were painted with pinkish-purple lip gloss, which added to her allure. Her skin was delicate and fair, and her figure was very well-developed. She wore a tight-fitting blue-gray snake-scale outfit that accentuated her curves. What was most attractive was her ripped cloth stockings, which gave her a unique kind of beauty.

"Senior Dragon Lord, this human-faced demon spider is yours."

Gu Shenge spoke to Long Gong with a hint of respect in his tone. Although his cultivation was far superior to Long Gong's, the other party was an elder in the Soul Master world, and it was only right to show respect to the elderly and care for the young.

Upon hearing Haoyang Douluo address him as "senior," the elderly Long Gong felt flattered and quickly declined.

"Your Majesty Haoyang, you are too kind. Since you need this human-faced demon spider, it is yours. I will find other soul beasts."

However, Gu Shenge shook his head, indicating that he was the one who started hunting the human-faced demon spider first. Moreover, his disciple's martial soul was not very compatible with the human-faced demon spider and was not suitable for him, so he decided to give it to Long Gong.

In fact, Gu Shenge just wanted to use Meng Yiran as an experiment.

(Tang San didn't die that easily.)

Chapter 109: Meng Yiran Absorbs the Soul Ring of the Human-Faced Demon Spider

Gu Shenge's gaze fell on Meng Yiran. He wanted to use her as an experiment to see if it was really as he thought, that the Eight Spider Lances could be used on specific people.

Dragon Lord and Snake Lady looked at each other in surprise. They hadn't expected that His Majesty Haoyang would give them the Human-Faced Demon Spider. They wanted to refuse, but they were afraid of offending a Title Douluo, so they finally nodded in agreement.

"Yiran, why don't you thank His Majesty Haoyang?"

"I'm in a daze," Long Gong said to his granddaughter. Meng Yiran snapped out of her daze, quickly bowed to Gu Shenge, and a joyful smile appeared on her glamorous face, her voice clear and melodious.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Haoyang!"

"You are Welcome."

Gu Shenge nodded slightly, letting Zhu Zhuqing return to her side, and gave the Human-Faced Demon Spider to Meng Yiran.

Seeing the teacher give the human-faced spider to someone else, the little wildcat was quite puzzled. Could it not be this human-faced spider?

The Shrek group looked at the clump of ashes at Gu Shenge's feet with fear, afraid that Gu Shenge might burn them all to ashes if she was displeased.

Zhao Wuji's face was ashen. Tang San was dead, and Tang Hao would definitely not let him go. Why not just run away and live out the rest of his life in anonymity, and come out again after Tang Hao died?

Gu Shenge glanced at them, then his gaze finally settled on the little spider. He didn't intend to kill this 100,000-year-old Soul-Devouring Spider King now; he would keep it for later use.

Bibi Dong's sixth soul ring came from a 100,000-year-old Soul Devouring Spider King, which granted her two extremely powerful soul skills.

Eternal Creation and the Abyss Slash of Spatial Rift.

Once Zhu Zhuqing reaches level 90, kill Xiao Zhu and make her her ninth soul ring.

Even without reaching level 90, under his guidance, one might be able to obtain a 100,000-year soul ring much earlier.

"You can get lost."

Gu Shenge spoke calmly to Zhao Wuji and the others, which made the Shrek Academy members breathe a sigh of relief and their faces lit up with joy. Great, they wouldn't have to die!

Despite his excruciating pain, Zhao Wuji struggled to his feet, bowed respectfully, and thanked Gu Shenge for sparing his life.

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty. If you ever need my help in the future, please feel free to give the order. I will be there whenever you call. There is something I need to remind Your Majesty: Tang San is the son of Haotian Douluo. If you kill him, Haotian Douluo will definitely come after you. Please make preparations in advance."

After saying that, Zhao Wuji lowered his head and led the Shrek group away in a sorry state.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shenge turned to look at Zhao Wuji's back, seemingly lost in thought.

After the area was cleared, Meng Yiran, wielding the Soul-Breaking Blade, ended the life of the Human-Faced Demon Spider with a single strike, and a purple soul ring rose from the spider's corpse.

The purple soul ring emitted a hazy purple light, which was quite attractive.

Gu Shenge looked at the human-faced demon spider soul ring. He remembered that in the original work, this human-faced demon spider's cultivation was over two thousand years. Although it was only just over, it still exceeded the theoretical absorption years.

Will Meng still be able to absorb it?

But Gu Shenge quickly denied it; he was also stopped by that bullshit theory.

As a Soul Master, Long Gong is renowned in the Soul Master world. He is superior to Yu Xiaogang in both age and cultivation. Could it be that his judgment and cognition are inferior to those of a great Soul Master like him?

Since he dared to hunt down this human-faced demon spider, it means that Meng Yiran is able to absorb the soul ring of this human-faced demon spider.

As for the original work's claim that the Human-Faced Demon Spider is so rare that even a master couldn't determine its age, it's laughable. A level 29 Great Soul Master wouldn't even know how he died, let alone study the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

Therefore, Yu Xiaogang only dared to study martial spirits, not soul beasts, because he did not have the strength to do so.

Judging things solely based on his theories will be disastrous.

Under the watchful eyes of Gu Shenge and the Dragon God and Snake Goddess, Meng Yiran sat cross-legged on the ground and began to absorb the soul ring of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

The Snake Granny looked at her granddaughter with some worry and asked the Dragon Lord.

"Old man, do you think it's still possible to absorb this spirit ring?"

"Don't worry, it's still okay,"

Long Gong patted his wife's hand to reassure her. He could tell that the human-faced demon spider had been cultivating for two thousand years. However, Meng Yiran, as their only granddaughter, had been immersed in various medicinal baths since childhood to hone her powerful body. As a weapon spirit master, she was naturally stronger than ordinary spirit masters.

It's just a two-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider's soul ring; absorbing it shouldn't be a big problem.

However, Dragon Lord and his companions underestimated the domineering nature of the Human-Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring.

Meng Yiran sat cross-legged, her snake staff resting on her round, silk-stockinged legs, and summoned the soul ring of the human-faced demon spider.

Sensing the summons, the purple soul ring flew towards Meng Yiran, attaching itself to the snake head of the serpent staff. It emitted an incredibly rich purple light, enveloping Meng Yiran's graceful body, and a domineering and powerful soul force fluctuation permeated the air.

Sensing such a domineering fluctuation of soul power, the Dragon Lord, who was originally quite confident, became somewhat solemn, and a trace of worry rose in his heart. Could his granddaughter really absorb this soul ring?

The Human-Faced Demon Spider is rare, and very few Soul Masters possess its Soul Rings. Even the Spirit Hall has few records of it. Its Soul Rings are more domineering than those of ordinary Soul Beasts.

Although it is only a little over two thousand years old, the difficulty of absorbing and fusing it is no less than that of some three-thousand-year-old soul rings.

As the one who merged, Meng Yiran was the one who could best understand the pain of the merging process.

She felt an extremely powerful and domineering heat surge into her body, rampaging through her like an enraged bull, completely uncontrollable, like an intensely hot flame burning her flesh and forcibly reshaping her body.

Meng Yiran looked pained, her features were slightly distorted, her originally fair skin turned an unnatural red, and a lump would occasionally swell up on her body.

The energy within her body caused her immense pain, making her feel as if her body was about to explode. She was unable to concentrate on refining the soul ring.

"puff!!"

A few seconds later, Meng Yiran slightly opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, which turned into a misty blood mist. This made the Dragon God and Snake Goddess look anxious and worried, and they both exclaimed in surprise.

"still!!"

They rushed forward, looking at their granddaughter's pained expression, but they couldn't intervene. If they interrupted Meng Yiran's soul ring refining process, she would suffer severe injuries and lose all her soul power, or even explode and die.

No matter how worried and anxious the Dragon God and Snake Goddess were, they could only watch helplessly and pray that their granddaughter could successfully refine the soul ring.

Gu Shenge looked at the girl with the snake staff who was vomiting blood and felt sorry for her. After all, he wanted to use her as an experiment to see if it was 100% guaranteed to explode her soul bone or if he just watched her explode her soul bone. He never thought of harming Meng Yiran.

He would feel guilty if Meng Yiran died from her body exploding because she couldn't absorb the spirit ring.

Having considered this, Gu Shenge did not hesitate and spoke to the Dragon God and Snake Goddess:

"Senior Long Gong, please step aside and let me lend your granddaughter a hand."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon God and Snake Goddess quickly stepped aside.

As Gu Shenge walked up to Meng Yiran, a solitary and lonely bright silver moon appeared behind her, and nine soul rings rose from her feet, three red and six orange-gold, indicating that she possessed the Taiyin Martial Soul!

(No one's going to say the protagonist is a saint, right? No way~ No way~ No way~)

Chapter 110: The Human-Faced Demon Spider's External Arm Bone!

The bright moon shines, cold and lonely, its silvery light gentle and comforting.

Nine spirit rings hovered and spun beneath Gu Shenge's feet, while a clear, cold silver moon rose behind her. It was extremely yin and gentle, extremely pure and noble, reflecting the bright moon in the sky. The silver moonlight was as gentle as water, as if it could soothe all wounds and countless pains.

Originally, her smooth, silky golden hair transformed into three thousand silver threads under the influence of the Taiyin Martial Soul. The sun god mark between her brows transformed into the Taiyin god mark, and her fiery golden eyes metamorphosed into indifferent silver pupils.

That domineering aura that looked down upon the world has changed, turning into a refined and aloof demeanor, yet with a touch of gentle elegance.

If Gu Shenge, possessed by the Sun Martial Soul, is an extremely powerful and strong emperor, then he, possessed by the Lunar Martial Soul, is an extremely benevolent and virtuous sage.

Gu Shenge looked at Meng Yiran, who was unable to absorb the human-faced demon spider's soul ring. Her originally delicate and pretty face became twisted and ferocious due to the pain brought by the soul ring, and a hint of apology appeared in her silver eyes.
