As a 2,000-year External Soul Bone, its enhancements were also ridiculously overpowered.
After summoning the Eight Spider Lances,
First, it enhanced all stats by 50% and increased speed by 50%!
It was inherently sharp, equipped with barbs, and, on top of that, it was venomous!
It came with powerful jumping and climbing abilities, allowing it to ignore most geographical limitations!
And that wasn't all.
It also possessed an active Soul Bone skill – Devour!
Devouring the target's soul power and replenishing itself by 100%!
Adding the Blue Silver Emperor's absorption, the Immortality Seal Technique's conversion, and the Nine Yang Divine Skill's endless cycle...
My goodness!
This is a perpetual motion machine.
Also,
The Soul Bone skill, Absorption, also comes with the ability to devour all toxins, storing them within the Eight Spider Lances to enhance their toxicity.
This is a 2,000-year-old External Soul Bone?
It's closer to 200,000 years!
But now...
This thing, which seemed to be a gift from the Asura God, belonged to Tang Lan!
From now on,
All the gains were completely absorbed.
Tang Lan then released the Blue Silver Emperor, which had been used for concealment.
Naked from the waist up, with the Eight Spider Lances on his back, Tang Lan appeared before Tang San and Xiao Wu.
"Ah! Why aren't you wearing any clothes?!" Xiao Wu exclaimed.
Tang San's gaze, however, was fixed on the Eight Spider Lances.
This is… The Human Face Demon Spider's leg? A Soul Bone?
Another Soul Bone dropped??!!
Tang San couldn't accept it.
He had also killed a Human Face Demon Spider! Why did Tang Lan get a Soul Bone, but he didn't?
This isn't fair!!!
Tang San roared inwardly, his eyes practically bloodshot.
Tang Lan acted as if he hadn't seen anything.
He arrived in front of the two Human Face Demon Spiders and impaled their corpses with the Eight Spider Lances, activating the Soul Bone Skill: Devour.
The power of the same origin was absorbed directly by the Eight Spider Lances, causing its age to skyrocket.
After cleaning up completely.
The age of the Eight Spider Lances reached—34,572 years! —The flawless conversion of the Human Face Demon Spider's age was precisely the best evolutionary choice for the Eight Spider Lances as an External Soul Bone.
Interestingly,
because the Eight Spider Lances originated from the small Human Face Demon Spider, absorbing its corpse only added a mere 72 years.
The remaining 32,500 years came from the Human Face Demon Spider.
The enhancement from the Soul Bone increased accordingly, reaching an astonishing 84.5%!
An increase of 1% per thousand years?
At a hundred thousand years, wouldn't it increase by 150%?
Good heavens!
Remember, this was just a passive effect from the Eight Spider Lances, not a Soul Bone skill!
As expected of the cheat given by the Asura God, it was a bug.
Crack, crack, crack—
The surface of the Eight Spider Lances was covered in cracks. The purplish-black shell peeled off like shedding skin, revealing a dark, ink-black "new skin."
The two middle pairs of spider lances had become much thicker.
However, the upper and lower pairs of spider lances seemed underdeveloped, protecting Tang Lan's shoulders and waist.
It looked more coordinated this way.
This was the new direction the Eight Spider Lances had evolved towards, based on Tang Lan's "human" habits.
Four for offense, four for defense.
This way, Tang Lan wouldn't have to be overly distracted by controlling the Eight Spider Lances.
And it could also take into account the defense of vital areas.
Hmm... Although, he didn't really have any "vital areas" anymore.
But this was just the first evolution, no need to rush.
At this moment,
"Brother," Tang San trembled, "is that a Soul Bone?"
Tang Lan glanced at Tang San.
His eyes were bloodshot and red, filled with jealousy.
Tang San also realized this, averting his gaze and not daring to meet Tang Lan's.
"Aye, it is a Soul Bone." Tang Lan's eyes narrowed in a smile, "And it's an even more precious External Soul Bone, rarer than normal Soul Bones. It has the ability to grow, making it a top-grade Soul Bone."
Tang San: (▄へ▄メ) The blood in his eyes was about to burst his blood vessels and spurt out!
"You have a Soul Bone, and you also have an External Soul Bone?!"
"You're not just killing me, you're trying to destroy my soul! Isn't that a bit much?!"
Seeing Tang San getting so worked up, Tang Lan stopped pushing his buttons.
He put away the Eight Spider Lances.
Then, he took out his shirt from his Blue King and put it on, meeting Xiao Wu's wide eyes peeking through her fingers.
"Still want to watch?"
Xiao Wu shook her head frantically!
"W-who was watching?!"
Tang Lan didn't expose him.
He turned to Tang San and said, "Xiao San, you wait here. Xiao Wu and I have something to discuss."
Tang San nodded silently.
Tang Lan pulled Xiao Wu away, moving about a hundred meters.
As luck would have it,
they encountered two Soft Bone Rabbits, currently in the throes of... activity.
Tang Lan couldn't help but steal a few extra glances.
But Xiao Wu seemed to misunderstand something. "Brother, let's not do it here. Can we go back and do it?"
Tang Lan gave her a puzzled look.
Looking at Xiao Wu's blushing face, Tang San suddenly understood!
Oh, I see!
What were you even thinking? Xiao Wu also realized what was happening, and her neck turned red with embarrassment! Tang Lan chose to change the subject.
"Xiao Wu, you'll stay in the Star Dou Great Forest from now on."
Xiao Wu: o(Д)っ! Her eyes reddened, and she stared at Tang Lan stubbornly.
"Brother! I'm not that kind of person!"
"I followed Mom since I was little, and later trained with Da Ming and Er Ming, drinking from the Lake of Life, and I quickly reached the hundred thousand year level!"
"The only males around me during that time were Da Ming and Er Ming..."
"But we're just ordinary friends!"
"Anyway..."
"I haven't done anything like that yet!"
"Brother, don't leave me."
"I can do anything!"
Big tears rolled down Xiao Wu's cheeks, and her rabbit ears drooped dejectedly on her head.
Her small hands clutched at Tang Lan's clothes, afraid he would just leave.
She was truly panicked.
Tang Lan was somewhat surprised, but then he understood.
No wonder Xiao Wu was so naive; her social circle was so small.
He raised his hand to wipe away Xiao Wu's tears, smiling helplessly.
"Listen to me first before you cry. You can cry later."
"This time, when we go back, I plan to establish an academy in Heaven Dou City, and the Tang Sect's headquarters will also be located there."
"As the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, there will certainly be Titled Douluos present. As for your identity..."
Tang Lan took out the three-thousand-year-old Fire Spirit Ginseng.
"You're currently at level 37. Taking this should allow you to reach level 45. In two months, I will bring more celestial herbs to help you break through to level 50."
"Then you can completely transform into a human, and stay by my side forever!"
Xiao Wu finally stopped crying and smiled.
Then, she threw herself into Tang Lan's arms and burst into tears!
Tang San, who was a hundred meters away, tensed up!
Sister!
This is the Star Dou Great Forest!
The Titan Giant Ape just appeared! Are you not afraid of attracting it back by crying so loudly?
Xiao Wu and Tang Lan weren't worried at all.
The Titan Giant Ape was guarding nearby. Which soul beast would dare to come and die?
After some soothing words.
Xiao Wu accepted the reality of the situation, and tiptoed up to kiss Tang Lan on the lips.
It was supposed to be just a farewell kiss.
But Tang Lan held the back of her head and engaged in a fierce lip-locked battle.
Only then did he let her go.
He stuffed the thirty-thousand-year-old Fire Spirit Ginseng into Xiao Wu's arms.
Tang Lan turned and strode away, his movements graceful.
Xiao Wu merely gazed at him with deep affection as Tang Lan passed Tang San, and didn't take a step to follow.
Tang San was dumbfounded.
"No way!"
"You two have been inseparable for six years."
"How can you suddenly go your separate ways?"
"Little San?" Tang Lan called out.
Without hesitation, Tang San followed Tang Lan.
He even felt a bit secretly pleased.
Because of the first soul ring, Xiao Wu had always looked down on Tang San.
Just how strong was Tang San's pride?
Tang San simply ignored Xiao Wu.
But Xiao Wu kept sticking to Tang Lan.
This meant that Tang San often couldn't speak to Tang Lan directly.
It made Tang San feel like his "love" was being stolen.
He disliked Xiao Wu even more.
Although he didn't know why his brother and Xiao Wu would eventually part ways,
for him, it was a good thing.
From now on, he would be the sole recipient of his brother's love!
