Chapter 337 The Fourth Ring of the Soul-Breaking Spear!
With the infusion of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's essence, a second blood-red soul ring appeared, replacing the previous single golden one.
The soul ring had advanced; the Soul-Devouring Spider King was now 200,000 years old. Old Song didn't notice the sudden, subtle change, but Wang Qiu'er, standing nearby, precisely detected it.
The soul ring had successfully advanced, but the Soul-Devouring Spider King's right arm soul bone could no longer undergo further transformation. However, Wu Xuan wasn't upset. It would be a real shame to let the Soul-Devouring Spider King escape for such a small gain.
Under the watchful eyes of Old Song and Wang Qiu'er, Wu Xuan released his soul power to draw the soul ring in front of him. The blood-red soul ring slowly slipped onto the fourth empty slot of the Soul-Breaking Spear.
Immediately afterward, a massive and extremely sharp, icy soul power surged into his body, frantically impacting Wu Xuan's meridians and spiritual sea.
The overwhelming resentment generated by the Soul-Devouring Spider King before its death was no weaker than Wu Xuan's seventh-ring wind element Golden Scale Griffin.
But it was useless; the struggles of the remnant soul of the Soul-Devouring Spider King did not affect Wu Xuan's progress in the slightest.
Several hours passed quietly, and Wang Qiu'er suddenly stood up and looked towards the jungle in the northwest. "Soul beasts are coming!"
Old Song was also startled for a moment, because he had not sensed anything before. Just as Old Song was beginning to have doubts, three wolf-shaped soul beasts, completely black in color, were approaching them at an astonishing speed.
It was clear that these three soul beasts were all over five meters long, and unlike ordinary wolf-type soul beasts, these three wolves walked upright. Their body shape was somewhat similar to that of humans, except that their heads were completely wolf-like. The high-bridged muscles on their bodies were full of explosive power.
"They are a variant of wolf and ape-type soul beasts," Wang Qiu'er said calmly. At the same time, she took out the Golden Dragon Spear again.
Elder Song nodded slightly, and before the three wolf-apes could even get close, she made a horrifying move.
A phantom of a blue eagle, wreathed in azure light, appeared before Wang Qiu'er, then flashed past like a blue ray of light, sharp as a blade, accompanied by a powerful sonic boom.
This blue light blade was incredibly fast, as if it had leaped in an instant, arriving before the three wolf-apes almost simultaneously.
"Pfft!" The first wolf-apes to come into contact with the light blade died instantly. Just as the blue light blade was about to pierce the second wolf-apes, it cut a line of blood in its chest. The next moment, along with the third wolf-apes, their figures vanished from the spot, leaving only a spray of blood in the air.
Turning tail and running away was a normal reaction for high-level soul beasts when startled. Elder Song was also momentarily stunned, not expecting that even with her attack as a level 97 Super Douluo, she hadn't instantly killed these three peculiar soul beasts.
"Where do you think you're going!" Wang Qiu'er shouted, stomping her right foot hard on the ground. Instantly, a terrifying golden wave of energy burst forth.
Wang Qiu'er's control over her power was indeed formidable; the powerful shockwave from her stomp actually bypassed Wu Xuan, who was absorbing the spirit ring, without causing him any impact.
Wang Qiu'er raised her golden dragon spear high, and as a resounding dragon's roar rang out, her six spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—rose from beneath her feet, the first ring shining brightly. A dense layer of gold instantly covered every corner of her body.
First Spirit Skill, Golden Dragon Body.
The Golden Dragon Spear, whistling sharply, shot forth, aimed directly at the bloodied wolf-apex that was trailing behind.
The remaining two wolf-apex, though terrified, were not to be trifled with. A dense aura of darkness suddenly erupted from its body. Clusters of purplish-black bubbles rapidly spread from the ground, engulfing the Golden Dragon Spear launched by Wang Qiu'er.
"Pfft!" Blood gushed out. The wolf-apex, having barely unleashed two or three tenths of its power, stiffened abruptly the moment the Golden Dragon Spear struck it, its limbs violently outstretched and its body trembling violently. Although the Golden Dragon Spear only swept past, it didn't deflect the wolf-apex, leaving a massive wound almost traversing its chest and abdomen. A large amount of internal organs gushed out of the wound.
It was now undeniably dead.
As for the last one, with Elder Song present, there was no way it would escape. The Azure Shadow Divine Eagle flapped its wings, and its fourth spirit ring lit up. Countless azure light blades, each only a foot wide, flashed out, accompanied by piercing whistling sounds.
Without any struggle, the last wolf-apex, fleeing in panic, was riddled with holes by the light blades.
Old Song reached out with both hands, pulling back two dead wolf-apex prey. Every part of this mutated soul beast was valuable, and Old Song naturally wouldn't waste it.
Wang Qiu'er didn't look at Old Song's actions anymore, but instead sat down not far from Wu Xuan. Wang Qiu'er's feelings were complicated. She had initially doubted Wu Xuan's identity, because if two people with intertwined destinies were within a certain range, the special bond of destiny would inevitably bring them together.
This was the special nature of destiny. Yet, after spending over a month in both the inner and outer courtyards of Shrek Academy, she hadn't seen Wu Xuan at all. This had caused Wang Qiu'er some bewilderment, making her wonder if she had come to the wrong place.
It's understandable that Wang Qiu'er thought this way; Wu Xuan had hidden himself so quickly using his aura, making it impossible for Wang Qiu'er to find him using the pull of destiny.
Just moments before, Wang Qiu'er had experienced physical contact with Wu Xuan. The feedback from the power of destiny she received in that instant filled her with joy; she had finally found the person from her memories.
He was the human who had performed the attribute transfer with her back then.
"Eh!" A surprised voice suddenly came from the side. When Wang Qiu'er looked over, Elder Song had just taken out a strange, bright purple bone from the body of the last wolf ape. The light created a dazzling display in the air.
Elder Song had two more identical bones in his hand. Within the bright purple light of the soul bones, there was a faint glimmer of silver.
"The aura of spatial fluctuations, the exact same left leg soul bone, I didn't expect to have such luck today." Elder Song couldn't help but secretly admire.
These three identical soul bones would be excellent even if used for fusion to create a completely new soul bone! Three together would definitely be much more valuable than separately. Even she couldn't estimate the price of these three soul bones right now.
"Wang Qiu'er, these three left leg soul bones should theoretically belong to you. However, the value of these three soul bones is too great, and I cannot decide their fate for the time being. How about we distribute them after we return to the academy?" Old Song turned to look at Wang Qiu'er, who was staring intently at the soul bones.
