Chapter 101: The King of Bargains, Looting Treasure Chests
Just as Tang San moved, Shi Quan's figure also moved.
The ethereal figure floated up, chasing directly in Tang San's direction.
"Zhuang Zhou, what are you doing again!" Zhao Wuji was furious; he also wanted to stop him, but he clearly couldn't stop Shi Quan's figure.
"I'll go bring Tang San back," Shi Quan's voice came.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji's expression improved significantly. He turned back and glared at Oscar, "You brat, hurry up and make your Mushroom Sausage for me. If we're going to chase, we'll chase together."
"Got it, got it," Oscar nodded repeatedly.
...
In mid-air, Tang San, having eaten the Mushroom Sausage and boosted by Ning Rongrong's amplification, was so fast that even Shi Quan could only stare at his dust. Fortunately, with Spirit Sense locked on, Shi Quan could always pinpoint his location, and with the boost from Nine Shadows Shift, Shi Quan was not shaken off by Tang San.
The Star Dou Great Forest was exceptionally dark at night. If it were an ordinary night, if Tang San dared to fly like this, he would have been surrounded by flying Spirit Beasts and not even his corpse would have remained.
It was only because of the Titan Giant Ape that he didn't encounter a single flying Spirit Beast on his way.
Fortunately, Oscar's Flying Mushroom Sausage could only last for one minute, and Ning Rongrong's amplification also had a limited duration once it exceeded a certain range.
This barely kept Tang San within Shi Quan's Spirit Sense lock range.
Tang San landed after flying less than three thousand meters and began to move with all his might through the forest, while Shi Quan continued to fly forward. Coupled with Tang San's injuries, the distance between them gradually closed.
"He stopped."
Excitement flickered in Shi Quan's eyes. He was now only a few hundred meters from Tang San, and with his speed, he could catch up in less than a minute.
On the other side, Tang San had just taken out a water bladder from his Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges and was gulping it down. Just as he caught his breath, he was drawn by a strange sound.
The rustling sound was like someone changing clothes. Tang San slowly stood up, cautiously looking in the direction of the sound, and immediately saw a black spider.
It was a Man Faced Demon Spider.
Shi Quan in the distance also sensed the aura of the Man Faced Demon Spider.
His flying speed instantly reached its maximum.
On the other side, Tang San and the Man Faced Demon Spider's battle had already begun. He quickly discovered that the Man Faced Demon Spider was injured. If it were in its prime, Tang San would have definitely chosen to flee, but an injured Man Faced Demon Spider was a different concept.
The battle scene was no different from the original work. Tang San, relying on the unexpectedness of the Clear Sky Hammer and the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, directly inflicted critical damage on the Man Faced Demon Spider with just two collisions, causing fatal wounds.
It was only because of the Man Faced Demon Spider's tenacious vitality that it did not die immediately.
Purple light, blue liquid, the Man Faced Demon Spider's robust body twisted and writhed frantically on the ground.
Delicate plants were instantly corroded, and even thick trees shattered upon impact with its body. Within tens of square meters, it was a mess, with no plant remaining intact.
Tang San had already rolled dozens of meters away, quietly waiting for the Man Faced Demon Spider to die.
It was also at this moment that Shi Quan's figure suddenly appeared above the Man Faced Demon Spider. Looking at the dying Man Faced Demon Spider on the ground and Tang San hiding twenty to thirty meters away, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Perfect timing!
His third spirit ring lit up, the Black Moon appeared, and a black light enveloped the Man Faced Demon Spider.
Shi Quan's figure shimmered with iron-colored light and descended from the sky. The impact of Dream Ripple and the deterrence of Gather Spirit Soul Seizing Skill were released simultaneously.
The Man Faced Demon Spider's writhing movements paused. Shi Quan, having activated Indestructible Divine Skill, was like a sharp blade descending from the sky, piercing the Man Faced Demon Spider's head with one foot. Blue liquid exploded, and before he even landed, Shi Quan's figure returned to its ethereal state.
The Man Faced Demon Spider, which had been struggling, immediately went still. Purple light condensed, and a purple spirit ring had just appeared. Shi Quan's movements did not stop at all. He lifted his clothes, grabbed the Man Faced Demon Spider's leg, and brought it to the opening of his hundred treasure pouch.
The next second, the enormous Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse and the hovering spirit ring were all put into the hundred treasure pouch by Shi Quan.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the external Spirit Bone Eight Spider Lances, triggering a plunder treasure chest. It has been opened for the host. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: Dragon Spine."
Hearing the System's voice, Shi Quan's lips uncontroll to curl upwards.
Please call me the King of Scavenging.
Although Tang San had inflicted a fatal wound on the Man Faced Demon Spider, the standard for determining who killed a Spirit Beast and thus owns its spirit ring is based on who delivers the killing blow.
Tang San's fatal wound did not directly kill the Man Faced Demon Spider; it was merely fatal. If no one else had attacked it in the interim, the spirit ring would naturally have been his when the Man Faced Demon Spider died. But the key point is that when Shi Quan arrived, the Man Faced Demon Spider was not dead, so in that case, my apologies.
In the original work, Tang San brought the corpse of the Demonic Spider to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to absorb it.
So Shi Quan had long wondered if, when he collected the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse into his hundred treasure pouch, the spirit ring would also enter the hundred treasure pouch with it.
And indeed, the spirit ring truly entered the hundred treasure pouch along with the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse, just as Shi Quan had expected.
Having done all this, Shi Quan did not pause at all. He immediately concealed his figure, silently widening the distance between himself and Tang San.
On the other side, Tang San, due to the exhaustion of his spirit power, a significant depletion of his physical strength, and his internal injuries, his legs gave out as soon as he reached a safe place. He could no longer hold on and directly collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath. He had no mind to look at the Man Faced Demon Spider.
Seeing that the Man Faced Demon Spider in the distance had stopped moving, when he turned to look, he could no longer see its figure.
"Where's the Man Faced Demon Spider?" Tang San was stunned, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly got up and walked towards where the Man Faced Demon Spider had been.
He had originally intended to absorb the Man Faced Demon Spider's spirit ring. The Man Faced Demon Spider was one of the Spirit Beasts in his original plan, but because his poison-attributed Blue Silver Grass couldn't bear too much, this plan had to be changed to absorbing a Spirit Beast with a devouring and absorbing attribute.
But now he couldn't think that much. He just wanted to increase his strength and find Xiao Wu quickly. In Tang San's view, even if he absorbed another poison-attributed Spirit Beast, his Blue Silver Grass would definitely still be fine.
But the problem now was that the Man Faced Demon Spider had mysteriously disappeared.
He was very sure that he had just inflicted a fatal injury on the Man Faced Demon Spider. Its death was only a matter of time. But now, what was going on with this Man Faced Demon Spider suddenly disappearing?
"It ran away?" Tang San muttered with a grim expression, looking around and then shaking his head, "Impossible. With such severe injuries, it couldn't have run. Even if it escaped, it couldn't have done so without a sound. What exactly happened?"
Tang San's mind was completely a mess right now, mainly because too many things had happened in one night. First, the Titan Giant Ape, Xiao Wu being captured, then the Man Faced Demon Spider, and its sudden disappearance.
"If it disappeared, then it disappeared. Saving Xiao Wu is more important." Tang San couldn't afford to think too much. In his current state, if he encountered another Spirit Beast, he would surely die in the Star Dou Great Forest. He had to recover to a certain extent before he could continue searching for Xiao Wu's whereabouts.
At this moment, he could no longer care about potential dangers. He sat down again, gasping for breath, barely allowing his spirit to recover a bit, and then began to Cultivate to restore his spirit power.
However, just as Tang San began to Cultivate, three figures ran towards him.
"You are... Tang San?" Snake Woman was the first to spot Tang San's figure. Looking at his miserable state, she couldn't help but frown.
"Tang San, why are you here? Did you fight the Man Faced Demon Spider? Where is the Man Faced Demon Spider?" Snake Woman looked at the Man Faced Demon Spider's blood on the ground, scanned her surroundings, and seeing no trace of it, she couldn't help but ask with a frown.
Tang San smiled bitterly and stood up, "Senior, Junior did indeed encounter the Man Faced Demon Spider just now, and I did fight it. Junior coincidentally critically injured the Man Faced Demon Spider. When I ran to the side to dodge, the Man Faced Demon Spider suddenly disappeared inexplicably. Junior doesn't know where it went specifically."
"Disappeared?" Meng Yiran said angrily, "Tang San, are you lying to ghosts here? How could such a large Spirit Beast just disappear inexplicably?"
"Senior, Junior's words are all true. You can check the traces of the battle on the scene. Junior just walked over from that side."
Tang San pointed to the rolling tracks on the ground.
Dragon and Snake Woman exchanged glances and nodded. As a Spirit Douluo-level powerhouse, Dragon's observation skills were astonishing even in the dark. While Tang San was explaining, he had already observed everything around him. He could confirm that Tang San was not lying, but they had never heard of a Spirit Beast disappearing like this, so they naturally couldn't easily believe Tang San's one-sided story.
"You have a space-type spirit tool, right?" Dragon's gaze fell on the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges at Tang San's waist. spirit tools all have spirit power fluctuations, so Dragon naturally recognized it at a glance.
Such a large Spirit Beast naturally couldn't just disappear. In their opinion, there was only one possibility: Tang San had killed the Man Faced Demon Spider in this short time and put it into his spirit tool.
Dragon and Snake Woman guessed correctly, but unfortunately, this Man Faced Demon Spider was not in Tang San's Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges, but in Shi Quan's hundred treasure pouch.
"Senior, Junior's space spirit tool is called Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges. It contains twenty-four gems, and each gem can only store one cubic meter of things. The Man Faced Demon Spider is so big, it's impossible to put it into my spirit tool," Tang San quickly explained.
"Whether it is or isn't, why don't you let me check it?" Dragon sneered.
Tang San naturally didn't want Dragon to check, but out of helplessness, he could only hand over the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges.
No choice, he couldn't win, and to find Xiao Wu, he could only concede.
Dragon took the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges and unceremoniously began to examine it. Besides discovering some special Hidden Weapons, he naturally couldn't find anything related to the Man Faced Demon Spider...Chapter 102: Lord Long's Suspicion
"How was it, old man?" Snake Woman looked at Dragon Lord.
Dragon Lord shook his head in disappointment, throwing the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges back to Tang San. He looked around, a hint of confusion in his eyes. It was impossible for this Spirit Beast to just vanish into thin air.
Snake Woman's gaze fell on Dragon Lord. "Tang San, why are you here alone? Tell me the reason you came here and everything that happened from beginning to end."
Sadness flashed in Tang San's eyes, as if he remembered something. "Seniors, the reason this Junior is here is because we encountered a powerful Spirit Beast that took my younger sister. This Junior begs you to help me find my younger sister. As long as you are willing, this Junior is willing to pay any price."
Snake Woman asked, "Isn't Zhao Wuji with you? Could it be that he couldn't stop that Spirit Beast either?"
Tang San nodded in sorrow.
"What kind of Spirit Beast was it?" Dragon Lord asked curiously.
Tang San quickly said, "It was a Titan Giant Ape. It was probably over ten thousand years old."
Upon hearing Tang San's words, both of them froze in place.
Dragon Lord still asked with some uncertainty, "You said you encountered a ten-thousand-year-old Titan Giant Ape in the outer area?"
"Yes, Senior."
"The Titan Giant Ape is an ancient variant. A ten-thousand-year-old one can even contend with a Titled Douluo. How could such a variant beast appear in the outer area?" Dragon Lord even began to suspect Tang San was playing a trick on him.
"Tang San!"
Shi Quan's voice came from afar, his ethereal figure descending from the sky. His blood-stained clothes had been replaced with an identical set.
Zhao Wuji and the others on the other side had already arrived. He had also rushed over from a distance, watching the time.
"Junior Zhuang Zhou greets the two Seniors." As soon as Shi Quan landed, he quickly bowed to Dragon Lord and Snake Woman.
"This person is also a member of Zhao Wuji's team. He and two others killed the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent," Snake Woman whispered into Dragon Lord's ear.
Dragon Lord nodded slightly. His spirit power instinctively swept over Shi Quan. Seeing that he didn't sense any spirit tool aura from Shi Quan, he then asked, "Zhuang Zhou, I ask you, why is Tang San here alone?"
"To find Xiao Wu."
"Why did you separate again?"
"Xiao Wu was abducted by a Titan Giant Ape. Tang San, eager to save her, ran out alone. Because I have the ability to fly, I tracked him here first."
"There really is a Titan Giant Ape?" Dragon Lord's expression changed.
"Grandpa, who cares what Titan Giant Ape it is, first ask about my Man Faced Demon Spider!" Meng Yiran was more concerned about her Man Faced Demon Spider.
"This Man Faced Demon Spider…" Dragon Lord frowned deeply. He couldn't figure out what was going on. The Man Faced Demon Spider had indeed disappeared here. If it was killed, the body was gone. If it ran away, there were no traces around.
"What Man Faced Demon Spider?" Shi Quan showed a puzzled expression.
Tang San explained again with a wry smile, detailing the entire development of the events. Of course, he naturally concealed the matter of his Clear Sky Hammer Spirit.
"Show us the weapon you mentioned."
Tang San could only reluctantly take out the Godly Zhuge Crossbow. He raised his hand, aimed the Godly Zhuge Crossbow at a nearby large tree, and pressed the switch.
Clack, clack, a series of metallic clicks rang out. Everyone only felt a blur before their eyes, followed by a series of thudding sounds.
The instantaneous burst speed of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow made both Dragon Lord and Snake Woman's pupils contract.
"With such a weapon, it can indeed severely wound a Man Faced Demon Spider."
Dragon Lord looked at the tree that had been directly pierced and nodded. Seeing this, he became even more confused. If the Man Faced Demon Spider was hit by this Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, then logically, even if it didn't die, it would be severely wounded. The scattered Man Faced Demon Spider blood around proved that the Man Faced Demon Spider was severely wounded. Under such severe injuries, how did it disappear?
Just as Dragon Lord and Snake Woman were puzzled.
On the other side, Zhao Wuji and the others, hearing the sound of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, finally determined the exact location and rushed over.
"Seniors, please show mercy."
A series of figures rapidly arrived, led by none other than Zhao Wuji and his group.
Zhao Wuji breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tang San and Shi Quan beside Tang San.
"This is Senior Dragon Lord. This Junior Zhao Wuji has admired you for a long time."
"King of Immovable Ming, no need to be polite. It seems your luck isn't very good." Dragon Lord sized them up, noticing that several people, including Zhao Wuji, had sustained injuries to varying degrees.
He believed Tang San's words for the most part, but the disappearance of the Man Faced Demon Spider was too strange. In their opinion, someone must have secretly intervened, and that person was very likely someone from Zhao Wuji's team.
Zhao Wuji said with a helpless expression, "Senior Dragon Lord is right, our luck is indeed bad. We encountered a ten-thousand-year-old Titan Giant Ape late at night, and it even abducted one of my students."
Dragon Lord said, "If you say your luck is bad, encountering such a rare beast yet only losing one person, with the others still safe and sound… I don't know whether to say your luck is good or bad."
Zhao Wuji showed a bitter smile on his face, shook his head, and said, "Senior, this Junior and the others are still preparing to rescue someone, so we won't disturb you."
"Wait a moment." Dragon Lord was unwilling to let them leave. He noticed one thing: Zhao Wuji and the others had all flown over.
If someone flew over, took the Man Faced Demon Spider into a spirit tool, and then flew away, then naturally, no traces would be left at the scene.
"What is it, Senior?" Zhao Wuji looked helpless, thinking that Dragon Lord and Snake Woman were preparing to settle old scores.
"Hand over the Man Faced Demon Spider?" Dragon Lord said slowly.
"Man Faced Demon Spider?" Everyone, including Zhao Wuji, was stunned for a moment. After exchanging glances, Zhao Wuji was the first to ask, "May this Junior ask, which Man Faced Demon Spider are you referring to, Senior?"
Dragon Lord looked at their puzzled expressions, then roared, "Don't pretend here! This old man and others chased a thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider here. After it was severely wounded by Tang San, this Man Faced Demon Spider mysteriously disappeared. How could such a large Spirit Beast disappear into thin air? It could only have been taken in by your spatial spirit tool! Hand it over honestly, and you can leave, no problem…"
Zhao Wuji hadn't expected such an incident to occur in the middle of all this, so he quickly explained, "Senior, our group has been together the whole time and have never encountered a Man Faced Demon Spider. We are unaware of this matter. Could there be some misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding?" Meng Yiran angrily said, "What misunderstanding? You already took my Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent, and now you've made my Man Faced Demon Spider disappear! You're deliberately targeting me!"
"It's alright, Yiran. With Grandpa here, you certainly won't be wronged." Dragon Lord patted Meng Yiran's shoulder and coldly looked at Zhao Wuji and the others.
"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, there's a very simple way: hand over all your spatial spirit tools, and I can inspect them one by one."
"No problem, Senior." Zhao Wuji was still very shrewd. In this situation, it was clearly not the time to antagonize Dragon Lord and Snake Woman. They were not opponents, so it was best to concede when necessary.
In fact, among the group, not many people possessed spatial spirit tools. Besides Tang San, only Ning Rongrong and Dai Mubai had them.
Zhao Wuji himself was so poor he couldn't make ends meet, so how could he afford to buy a spatial spirit tool? As for Ma Hongjun and Oscar, it was the same situation. Zhu Zhuqing was disliked within her Family. Ning Rongrong, needless to say, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had no shortage of money, so how could she not have a spatial spirit tool? Dai Mubai also had no shortage of money.
Dragon Lord quickly inspected the two's spirit tools. As expected, he found nothing unusual. Instead, it made him notice the special identities of the two: one possessed the exclusive token of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the other seemed to be from the Star Luo Empire.
Seeing that everyone's spirit tools had been inspected and the Man Faced Demon Spider was still nowhere to be found, Dragon Lord's brows furrowed.
It was, of course, impossible to find it. After Shi Quan put the Man Faced Demon Spider into his hundred treasure pouch, he directly placed the hundred treasure pouch into the System space. Unless Dragon Lord could discover the existence of the System, which was simply impossible.
His search was destined to be fruitless.
"None." Dragon Lord shook his head helplessly.
"How could this be?!" Meng Yiran's eyes immediately reddened.
"Everything that needed to be checked has been checked. They indeed don't have anything related to the Man Faced Demon Spider on them."
Though helpless, Dragon Lord thought of the Titan Giant Ape incident and then comforted her, "It seems there's some problem with the Star Dou Great Forest. In this outer area, let alone a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast, even Spirit Beasts over two thousand years old are rare, yet a Titan Giant Ape suddenly appeared. This level of Spirit Beast rarely leaves its territory. Its appearance here must mean there's some problem in the outer area. Perhaps the disappearance of the Man Faced Demon Spider is somewhat related to this Titan Giant Ape. Let's go, Yiran. Let's leave the forest first, and we'll come back in a few days to look for a suitable spirit ring."
Meng Yiran's eyes were red. If her grandpa couldn't find anything unusual, it could only mean that the disappearance of the Man Faced Demon Spider had nothing to do with Shi Quan and the others. Although she was unwilling, her grandpa had already spoken, so she could only accept it.
Dragon Lord and Snake Woman glanced at Zhao Wuji, then directly took Meng Yiran and soared away.
"Tang San, you're too reckless!" Seeing Dragon Lord and Snake Woman leave, Zhao Wuji immediately roared.
Tang San, recovering by eating the big Sausage Oscar handed him, said firmly, "I must bring Xiao Wu back!"
Zhao Wuji grew even angrier upon hearing this. "Just you, you stinking brat? I don't think you came to find Xiao Wu, but to die! How can the Star Dou Great Forest be entered just because you say so? Who do you think you are? If you had encountered an even stronger Spirit Beast just now, what we'd be seeing now would be your corpse!"
"Even if I die, I have to try!" Tang San's expression remained unchanged.
Zhao Wuji shook his head in anger and roared, "Then what do you take us for? What hero are you trying to be alone here? If there's a rescue to be done, it's not up to you to do it aloneChapter 103: Dragon's Back, Immortal Herbs and Elixirs
Teacher Zhao… Tang San's eyes were a little red.
Zhao Wuji waved his hand helplessly, "Alright, hurry up and recover."
"You all should also quickly rest and recover. Only when you've recovered can we have a chance to find Xiao Wu."
Zhao Wuji looked at everyone. After a long journey, everyone was already exhausted, and with their previous injuries, they needed to rest to be in a better state to search for Xiao Wu.
Shi Quan also sat cross-legged and began to recover.
His consciousness summoned the System space.
His gaze fell on the last grid in the System space.
It was a golden-yellow spine. The spine was a single, integrated piece, covered with golden patterns. If one wasn't careful, they might mistake it for a golden longsword without a hilt.
Dragon Spine: The spinal bone from the remains of the Human Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, originating from a certain World of Wind and Cloud fan-fiction, containing special power, stronger than the original Dragon Bone.
Note: This bone has been modified into an external Spirit Bone.
Shi Quan's eyes widened. The Human Emperor's spine could be extracted; this System was truly amazing.
Regarding the Dragon Bone in Wind and Cloud, Shi Quan's only impression was that this spinal bone seemed to be able to restrain demonic nature. It seemed that after Nie Feng became demonic, he could suppress the demonic nature within him by relying on the Dragon Bone.
Shi Quan was not clear about its other functions, but from the System's introduction, this Dragon Spine was stronger than the Dragon Bone in Wind and Cloud, and from its appearance alone, this Dragon Spine was vastly different from an ordinary spinal bone.
The Dragon Bone in Wind and Cloud still resembled a spinal bone, but the current Dragon Spine looked more like a four-edged, bladed sword bone, with each section interlocking, clearly extraordinary at first glance.
"Good stuff! Not only did I get the Eight Spider Lances external Spirit Bone, but now the System has given me another external Spirit Bone, plus the 100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone. Now I have three Spirit Bones!"
Shi Quan was incredibly excited. The gains from this trip were truly immense.
While everyone was recovering, a light footstep caught Zhao Wuji's attention.
"Who?" Zhao Wuji's cold gaze shot towards a direction, his spirit power instantly gathering. Although he was also Cultivating, he was constantly monitoring his surroundings.
"Teacher Zhao." A slender figure ran out from the forest. Seeing her, not only Zhao Wuji was stunned, but everyone else also froze. The one who suddenly ran out of the forest was surprisingly Xiao Wu.
Hearing this familiar voice, Tang San was instantly jolted awake as if struck by lightning. He took a stride and appeared in front of Xiao Wu, fiercely embracing her.
"Xiao Wu, you're alright, truly alright!" Tang San's eyes were red.
Upon seeing this scene, all other questions faded into silence. They quietly watched the two tightly embracing.
Dai Mubai subconsciously looked at Zhu Zhuqing not far away, but saw that Zhu Zhuqing was not looking at him. When he followed Zhu Zhuqing's gaze and saw Shi Quan's figure, his fists involuntarily clenched, and his blood-red eyes became even redder.
"Xiao Wu, how did you escape the clutches of the Titan Giant Ape? First, tell us what happened?"
After listening to their sweet exchange, Zhao Wuji began to inquire.
Xiao Wu naturally couldn't tell everyone that it was because the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming sensed her aura and specifically came to take her away. Fortunately, she had already thought of an excuse on the way back, and after explaining it.
Xiao Wu quickly shifted everyone's attention to her Breakthrough to Level 30.
Everyone was both surprised and delighted.
"Alright, it's good that Xiao Wu is back. The Star Dou Great Forest is too dangerous now. We've encountered too many unbelievable things in one night. Let's go back first, Tang San. To prevent any further accidents, we'll discuss your spirit ring after we return."
"No problem, Teacher Zhao."
Tang San was not in a hurry. He knew that even without acquiring a spirit ring, his Cultivated spirit power would continue to accumulate. Once he acquired a spirit ring, the previous accumulation would feedback and become spirit power.
Now that Xiao Wu was back, he also wanted to have a good rest for a while.
"Wait a moment, Teacher Zhao, I still have something I haven't retrieved." Tang San suddenly remembered that he hadn't retrieved the arrows for his Godly Zhuge Crossbow. These things were difficult to make, so he naturally couldn't waste them.
Tang San quickly walked to the tree trunk, raised his hand and patted it. Using Mysterious Heaven Skill and Dragon Capturing Strength, he slowly vibrated the arrows out of the tree.
Zhao Wuji looked at the previous tree, then at the current one, "Tang San, did your crossbow arrows penetrate the previous tree and then embed themselves into this one?"
"That's right."
Zhao Wuji's pupils contracted, "How did you fire these crossbow arrows? How can their attack power be so strong?"
Tang San then took out the Godly Zhuge Crossbow and began to introduce it.
Ning Rongrong, who was nearby, listened with sparkling eyes and quickly asked, "Tang San, can you sell this thing to me? You can name any price. As you know, I'm a support system Spirit Master, unlike Zhuang Zhou, I don't have much self-preservation ability. When everyone is fighting desperately, besides assisting with some Spirit Ability, I can only watch. If I had this, I could also have some offensive power."
Tang San smiled, thinking of Ning Rongrong's previous help, and generously said, "Why buy it? I'll just give you one later. However, the Materials needed to make this are very expensive. You'll have to pay for the Materials yourself."
Oscar also came over as soon as he heard, revealing a fawning smile.
Tang San naturally understood Oscar's meaning and made the same promise as he did to Ning Rongrong.
Without further delay, everyone quickly set off.
They hurried out of the Star Dou Great Forest. The journey over the past few days had been too tiring and dangerous for everyone. Everyone wanted to leave early and get some good rest.
When dawn broke, everyone finally walked out of the Star Dou Great Forest. Outside the forest, although there was no longer the fresh air, everyone felt as if a weight had been lifted, feeling much lighter.
It was just like the rising sun, as if it was a new beginning.
"Let's hurry a bit more and get to the town. Everyone can have a good rest there," Zhao Wuji said with a smile.
Upon arriving at the town, after eating and drinking their fill, although it was daytime, everyone just wanted to have a good sleep first.
In the room.
"A Meng, help me locate Tang San."
"No problem."
Xiao Meng's voice rang out.
During the trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, Shi Quan could be said to be the most relaxed because he knew he wouldn't encounter danger, unlike everyone else who was constantly in a tense state. Moreover, after a series of events last night, everyone present, except for Shi Quan, was exhausted.
Once the constantly tense spirit relaxed, it might be an opportunity for Shi Quan.
"A Quan, Tang San has fallen into a deep sleep. With his current mental state, we can directly enter his dream."
Shi Quan's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Then let's enter his dream!"
Xiao Meng's butterfly silhouette appeared. Shi Quan's consciousness sat on Xiao Meng's back, slowly flying out and entering Tang San's forehead.
"A Quan, Tang San isn't dreaming right now. It's just that his mental state isn't good, which is why we can directly enter his consciousness space."
Looking at the dim surroundings, Shi Quan nodded.
"A Meng, guide him to dream about reuniting with Xiao Wu, and guide his self-blame."
"No problem."
Silver light sprinkled down, and gradually, light appeared in the dim space. The scene returned to the Star Dou Great Forest, where Tang San and Xiao Wu were tightly embracing. Tang San kept apologizing to Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu, it's my fault, I'm not capable enough, I didn't protect you well…"
"A Meng, that's enough. Guide him to pursue power, so that he can protect Xiao Wu," Shi Quan commanded quietly.
Xiao Wu in the scene said, "Brother, it's all my fault for being too weak. If I were stronger, Brother wouldn't have to worry."
"No, no, I'm too weak. If I were stronger, Xiao Wu wouldn't have been hurt today…" Tang San gripped Xiao Wu's hand tightly.
"Yes, that's right. If I were stronger, Xiao Wu wouldn't have been hurt today."
"The timing is about right." A smile spread across Shi Quan's lips. "A Meng, you can guide the Immortal Herb now."
"How can I improve my strength without damaging my Foundation?" Tang San fell into deep thought. Looking at the dense forest around him, he suddenly noticed a herb in the grass not far away.
"Herb?"
Tang San's eyes lit up. "Could there be Immortal Herbs on the Douluo Continent? If I could find a suitable Immortal Herb, my strength would definitely increase!"
"What kind of Immortal Herb is suitable for me?"
"If I can find an Immortal Herb, I can also choose some for Xiao Wu…"
The scene changed, and various Immortal Herbs appeared in Tang San's dream.
"It's done!" A smile appeared on Shi Quan's lips, and he began to imprint everything from Tang San's dream into his own mind.
He finally found an opportunity to extract the knowledge of Immortal Herbs from Tang San's mind.
He had to thank Xiao Wu for this. If it weren't for today's incident, how could Tang San have yearned for power so much?
Leveraging Tang San's abnormal protective instincts, Shi Quan finally obtained the records of various herbs from the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record from Tang San's mind.
With these records, he could help Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, and Dugu Bo choose a suitable Immortal Herb.
This would also prevent him from having a treasure trove but not knowing how to use it.
More than an hour later, Shi Quan finally used the power of the dream to obtain all knowledge about Immortal Herbs and Spirit Medicine from Tang San.
With a large amount of knowledge, Shi Quan also needed time to digest it. Feeling dizzy, he returned to his body and immediately began to digest it.
Although the three days in the Star Dou Great Forest had brought everyone closer, everyone could feel that the relationship between Dai Mubai, Shi Quan, and Zhu Zhuqing had not eased at all.
After resting in the town for two days,
Everyone set off again. After a day of travel, they successfully returned to Shrek Academy outside Soto City.
Everyone was tired after a day of traveling and walked towards their respective dorms.
"Tang San, wait a moment."
"Zhuqing, wait a moment."
Just as they reached the dorms, Ning Rongrong called out to Tang San, and Shi Quan also coincidentally called out to Zhu Zhuqing…Chapter 104 Talk and leave
Everyone couldn't help but look at Shi Quan and Ning Rongrong.
Tang San was stunned for a moment, "Rongrong, is something wrong?"
Zhu Zhuqing also looked at Shi Quan.
Ning Rongrong said, "I want to talk to you alone, may I?"
Shi Quan also said, "Let's talk."
Zhuqing nodded slightly. On the way back, she felt that Shi Quan had something to say to her.
Shi Quan and Zhuqing left. Ning Rongrong then looked at Tang San and said a few words, after which Tang San still nodded in agreement.
On the other side.
Shi Quan and Zhuqing came to sit under a large tree outside the Academy. They leaned against the tree, with the bright moon in the sky.
"I'm preparing to leave the Academy…"
After a long pause, Shi Quan slowly spoke.
Zhuqing's figure stiffened, and a hint of loneliness appeared in her cold eyes.
"I can't learn what I want in Shrek Academy. Instead of staying in this remote Academy, I want to go to a bigger city and a better Academy to see," Shi Quan slowly expressed his thoughts.
Both suddenly fell silent.
"Zhuqing…" Shi Quan asked with a smile, "Do you want to come with me to see the wider World outside?"
"A wider World…" A hint of longing appeared in Zhuqing's eyes, but remembering the fate she carried, her eyes gradually dimmed.
Shi Quan raised his hand and clenched it towards the Void Realm. "I will help you control your own fate and move towards a better future."
Zhuqing's mouth opened and then closed again. How could she not want to control her own fate, but she simply couldn't do it.
Frankly, when Shi Quan just said he would take her away, Zhuqing was tempted, but she couldn't do that.
Because once she did, what she would face would not be just her sister's targeting and pursuit, but targeting and pursuit from the entire Star Luo Empire.
For the Star Luo Imperial Family, traitors are met with zero tolerance.
At that time, not only would she be implicated, but Shi Quan would also be implicated, ultimately harming both of them.
Unless the two of them could quickly Cultivate to a certain Rank, strong enough to be fearless of the Star Luo Empire's threats and assassinations.
But is that possible? If she could really Cultivate to that Rank, would she still need to run away?
These two are inherently unsolvable problems.
"But you don't need to rush. Just try to work hard and do your best. Even if you fail, it doesn't matter," Shi Quan saw Zhuqing's worries, turned to look at her, and said firmly, "Because I…"
A gentle breeze, insects chirping, birds singing, moonlight.
Tree branches swayed in the wind, and the rustling of leaves echoed through the forest.
No one heard what Shi Quan said except Zhuqing, but a blush appeared on Zhuqing's ice-cold face.
Leaves swayed, moonlight flickered, and figures intertwined. Their shadows seemed to overlap, indistinguishable from each other.
…
Meanwhile, in Flender's room.
Zhao Wuji was still reporting various events from the Star Dou Great Forest to Flender.
Besides Zhao Wuji and Flender, there was another figure in the room: Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang. Just like in the original, Yu Xiaogang arrived at Shrek Academy after everyone else left.
Listening to the Shrek group's various life-threatening adventures in the forest, Flender and Yu Xiaogang broke out in a cold sweat.
"That bull roar should have been the Sky Azure Bull Python. As for the disappearance of the Man Faced Demon Spider, I think it's indeed possible it's related to the Titan Giant Ape. The Titan Giant Ape has terrifying strength and also an earth attribute. Perhaps he used some special method to transfer the Man Faced Demon Spider from underground."
Yu Xiaogang confidently explained.
If Shi Quan were here, he would definitely give Yu Xiaogang a thumbs-up. Grandmaster is definitely the number one braggart when it comes to pretending to understand what he doesn't.
…
After Shi Quan and Zhuqing finished talking, they returned to the dormitory.
Night passed with time. A night without words.
After breakfast, the bell rang on time.
Everyone gathered.
This gathering was particularly lively. Not only Flender and Zhao Wuji came, but also several other teachers from the Academy and Yu Xiaogang came to the training ground.
Flender then began to introduce the teachers to everyone, and finally, Grandmaster.
"Finally, this person, I need to introduce him to everyone in detail. He is known as the strongest in Spirit theory, the most intelligent Spirit Master, and also Tang San's teacher, Mr. Yu Xiaogang. Perhaps you may not be familiar with his name, but I believe you all should have heard of his title. From now on, you can call him Grandmaster."
Unlike the previous teachers, Flender did not specifically introduce Yu Xiaogang's Rank and Spirit.
"From today onwards, Grandmaster will be fully responsible for your teaching, and we will all cooperate with Grandmaster," Flender's voice fell.
Shi Quan's voice then rang out, "If he wants to teach us, he should at least let us know his strength, right? And I remember that the strongest in Spirit theory doesn't seem to be named Yu, does he?"
Hearing Shi Quan's voice, Grandmaster's stern face became very ugly. His spirit power Rank had always been a deep pain in his heart, and on top of that, Shi Quan dared to say that he wasn't the strongest in Spirit theory. This statement instantly made him feel that all his efforts were negated, so how could he not be angry.
"Zhuang Zhou, are you questioning my decision?" Flender's voice rang out, with anger flickering in his eyes.
"As a student, can I not raise my own questions?" Shi Quan's voice was strong and resonant.
"Flender." Yu Xiaogang pulled Flender back. What seemed like a simple matter, if not handled well, would have a great impact on his subsequent training plan. This matter could not be handled by Flender; he had to rely on his own ability to convince these children.
"My spirit power Rank is not high, only Rank twenty-nine. My Spirit belongs to a mutated Spirit, and in terms of Spirit theory, it is only because my friends in the Spirit Master's world think highly of me that they gave me the title of Grandmaster."
"Rank twenty-nine?" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but frown upon hearing this. She had heard of the title Grandmaster, but she never expected Yu Xiaogang's strength to be so weak.
"A Grandmaster of Rank twenty-nine?" Shi Quan chuckled softly, his voice not loud but full of sarcasm, "Strength determines vision, and vision determines cognition. The limitation of strength will inevitably lead to the limitation of your cognition. You can teach basic Spirit knowledge, but if you want to teach me to Cultivate, then I'm sorry, I don't want to be your experimental subject!"
"Zhuang Zhou, you are insulting my teacher!" Tang San's angry voice came.
"Insult?" Shi Quan scoffed, "I'm stating facts. His Ten Great Spirit Core Competencies, in my opinion, are simply misleading. A theory that hasn't been verified dares to be published and widely promoted. If it's correct, fine, but if there are any problems with it, what about those who are harmed by it?"
Tang San immediately said, "My teacher's theories are all correct! There are no problems!"
"Correct? You say it's correct? Then why doesn't he prove it? How many years has it been since he published these Ten Great Spirit Core Competencies? How much has he proven? He can't even prove it himself, and you say it's correct? I've seen too many self-righteous people like him."
"If you dare to insult my teacher again, don't blame me for being impolite…" Tang San's voice gradually turned cold.
"Little San." Yu Xiaogang spoke in time, looking at Shi Quan, and asked indifferently, "Little San is my disciple, doesn't his strength prove my theory?"
Shi Quan's smile was full of mockery as he said, "Tang San's strength is due to his Innate talent. If we really talk about Cultivation speed, Tang San, who also has Innate full spirit power, Cultivates slower than me, and his strength is not as good as mine. Xiao Wu's age should also be younger than Tang San's, right? Her Cultivation speed and strength are also not weaker than Tang San's. So what do you think he can help you prove?"
"Help you prove that with the same talent, Tang San's Cultivation speed is slower than ours, and his strength is weaker than ours?"
Yu Xiaogang's expression changed, and everyone's gaze towards Yu Xiaogang also became somewhat strange.
They all had Innate full spirit power. Xiao Wu was a few months younger than Tang San, and Shi Quan was also a month younger than Tang San.
Calculated this way, Tang San's Cultivation speed was at least several months slower compared to the two of them. They hadn't really noticed it before, but now that they calculated it, there was indeed some gap between Tang San and Shi Quan and Xiao Wu.
Yu Xiaogang quickly said, "Everyone's Spirit is different. The talent is the same, but the difficulty of Cultivation varies. Just like food system Spirit Master and Beast Spirit Spirit Master, how can you compare them so casually like this."
"Cultivation difficulty? Tang San's Spirit is Blue Silver Grass. This Spirit has strong adaptability, and its requirements for the Cultivation environment are the lowest. Blue Silver Grass, this plant, is found everywhere. As long as he finds a place with more Blue Silver Grass or a small forest, these places can be considered simulated Cultivation environments for him. Under such natural enhancement, his Cultivation speed should only be faster, not slower. Compared to my Spirit Soul and Xiao Wu's Soft Bones Rabbit, in terms of difficulty, the difficulty of Blue Silver Grass should also be the lowest, right? In the end, with the lowest strength, is it a problem with his talent, or is it a problem with someone's guidance?"
Shi Quan's voice pierced Grandmaster's chest like a sharp sword, causing his upright figure to sway.
Flender finally couldn't hold back his anger and roared, "Zhuang Zhou, shut up! If you question the Academy's educational standards and look down on the teachers here, then please leave. Shrek Academy does not welcome students like you who don't believe in the Academy or the teachers."
"Clap, clap, clap."
Shi Quan clapped his hands, "Good, good, this Shrek Academy is not worth staying in."
"You all have fun, I won't be accompanying you." With that, Shi Quan turned and left directly.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. Except for Zhuqing, no one expected Shi Quan to leave just like that.
Flender shouted, "Zhuang Zhou, think carefully! Once you leave Shrek, Shrek will never open its doors to you again!"
"No need. Remember, I'm leaving on my own. Goodbye, then. Shrek… Monster… Hahaha!"
Shi Quan walked towards the dormitory with a laugh, his laughter sounding somewhat harsh to everyone, like mockery.Chapter 105 Absorbing the Dragon Spine
Seeing Shi Quan leave, Zhu Zhuqing immediately turned and chased after him.
"Zhu Zhuqing, what are you doing?" Flender shouted loudly.
"I'm going to see Zhuang Zhou," Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice came.
Upon hearing this, Flender's expression improved a bit.
Oscar, seeing this, also turned and chased in Shi Quan's direction, "Dean, I'm also going to see Zhuang Zhou."
A perfectly good welcoming ceremony ended up like this, which Flender had not anticipated at all.
"Today, we'll stop here. Everyone rest for a day. Classes will resume tomorrow. You're dismissed," Flender waved his hand.
He dismissed the crowd.
If Shi Quan left, the happiest person would naturally be Dai Mubai. As for Tang San, he originally had a good impression of Shi Quan, but after today's events, all of Tang San's previous good feelings for Shi Quan vanished completely.
"I thought you would stay for a while longer..." Zhu Zhuqing caught up to Shi Quan's figure.
"I also didn't expect things to develop like this," Shi Quan waved his hand, putting on a helpless expression. Only he knew that he was intentionally using this opportunity with Grandmaster to leave the Academy.
"Zhuang Zhou, what does Zhuqing mean by that?" Oscar quickly followed, having clearly heard what Zhu Zhuqing had just said.
Shi Quan said, "Little Ao, it's just as it sounds. I never intended to continue staying at the Academy. Shrek Academy isn't suitable for me."
Oscar said unwillingly, "Why? Isn't the Academy quite good?"
Shi Quan shook his head slightly and said, "You might think it's good, but I think Shrek Academy is a complete mess. Just Dai Mubai actively stirring up trouble is enough for me to not agree with the Academy's teaching philosophy. So, in the end, it can only be said that Shrek isn't suitable for me."
Upon hearing this, Oscar's mouth opened and closed, then closed and opened again, but he couldn't utter a single word. Moreover, Shi Quan himself said that he had originally planned to leave the Academy.
"It's alright, Little Ao. We haven't known each other long, but we're still brothers. We'll have a chance to meet again in the future, don't worry," Shi Quan patted Oscar's shoulder.
After a simple comfort, Shi Quan didn't even return to his dormitory. Accompanied by the two, he went directly to the Academy gate.
"Zhuqing, if you feel there's no meaning in staying here, remember to come find me. I've already said everything I needed to say last night. Don't worry, I'm here."
"Little Ao, let's go."
Shi Quan waved goodbye to the two.
Goodbye, it will be a different identity next time...
Zhu Zhuqing watched Shi Quan's gradually receding figure, her eyes filled with reluctance, which then turned into determination.
On the other side of the Academy, Flender looked at Shi Quan's departing figure and couldn't help but sigh softly. It wasn't easy for the Academy to get a few Little freaks, but after only a few days, the strongest one left. Flender was somewhat reluctant to let him go.
"Woohoo! Taking off!"
After leaving Shrek Academy, Shi Quan's mouth immediately curved into a brilliant smile.
See you later!
His spirit-materialized figure soared into the sky, rapidly flying towards the distance.
To prevent anyone from following, Shi Quan traveled swiftly, not stopping until late at night. His spirit-materialized figure then landed in a mountain range. After some searching, he found a safe cave, and only then did Shi Quan eagerly begin to assess his gains.
With a thud, the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse was taken out of the hundred treasure pouch by Shi Quan.
As for its spirit ring, as time passed, it had already dissipated and merged into the Spirit Bone within the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse.
An external Spirit Bone is a very special Spirit Bone. Under normal circumstances, it is attached to the spirit ring and automatically integrates into the Spirit Master's body upon absorption of the spirit ring; it does not appear within the Spirit Beast's corpse.
If the spirit ring of an external Spirit Bone has not been absorbed, then the external Spirit Bone will appear in the form of a Spirit Bone within the Spirit Beast's body.
This is precisely the current situation.
Summoning the Blue Silver King, after breaking open the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse, a purplish-bright Spirit Bone appeared in Shi Quan's hand. The Spirit Bone was much larger than Shi Quan, composed of eight thick, long spider legs, connected in the middle to form a single piece. Its surface appeared extremely smooth, emitting a faint sweet fragrance.
This was the smell of poison. If an ordinary person smelled this for too long, they would be poisoned.
"Is this the Eight Spider Lances?" Shi Quan examined the Eight Spider Lances Spirit Bone in his hand, his eyes filled with excitement.
The Eight Spider Lances itself possesses a poison attribute, and it also comes with a swallowing attribute. From the original work, the swallowing attribute of the Eight Spider Lances, combined with the Blue Silver Grass Domain, can form terrifying Swallowing Gold Silk.
This was even without Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor having a swallowing attribute. Shi Quan's Blue Silver King, through Yin and Yang mutual generation, simultaneously possessed both Life and swallowing attributes. If he were to add the swallowing attribute of the Eight Spider Lances, how astonishing would its swallowing ability become once his Blue Silver Domain evolved the ability to produce Swallowing Gold Silk?
Just thinking about it made him excited.
Moreover, as an external Spirit Bone, the Eight Spider Lances has the ability to grow, so there's no need to worry about its low age. The only thing that Shi Quan currently minded was the poison attribute of the Eight Spider Lances.
Although the Eight Spider Lances, as a Spirit Bone, is an independent entity, its inherent poison attribute conflicts with the Life attribute of the Blue Silver Grass. When used independently, they certainly won't affect each other, but if he wanted to combine them with the Blue Silver Domain, Shi Quan worried that the poison attribute would affect their compatibility and prevent him from perfectly unleashing the power of the Blue Silver Domain and the Spirit Bone.
However, thankfully, the reward from the Plunder Treasure Box helped Shi Quan solve this problem.
That's right, it was the Spirit Bone Modifier.
Initially, Shi Quan's idea was to fuse the 100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone with the Eight Spider Lances external Spirit Bone. In doing so, the swallowing attribute of the Eight Spider Lances combined with the Life attribute of the 100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, with these two attributes superimposed, there was a high probability of neutralizing the poison attribute of the Eight Spider Lances. Furthermore, with the enhancement of the 100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, the compatibility between the Eight Spider Lances and the Blue Silver Domain would definitely increase significantly.
But in that case, the 100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone would be somewhat wasted, because even without integrating into the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances itself would grow with Shi Quan's strength to the level of 100,000 years or even Divine Rank. Ultimately, using a 100,000 Year Spirit Bone to simply improve the compatibility between the Eight Spider Lances and the Blue Silver Domain was overkill.
Later, Shi Quan thought seriously and remembered another reward in the System space: the Bloodline Crystal!
The Bloodline Crystal contained Sacred Dragon Bloodline.
Dragon Clan Bloodline is the superior Bloodline of all Spirit Beasts, and most Spirit Beasts are pursuing the path of transforming into Dragons.
Moreover, according to the original description, the Sacred Dragon is the king of all Dragons, and its Bloodline strength is definitely among the top existences within the Dragon Clan.
If the Eight Spider Lances could absorb the Sacred Dragon Bloodline, then the Eight Spider Lances would definitely undergo a transformation. This transformation wouldn't be one of strength, but rather a transformation of its quality and Origin.
Furthermore, the Sacred Dragon possesses a powerful sacred attribute. This attribute would definitely be able to purify the inherent poison attribute of the Eight Spider Lances, and the sacred attribute also has a very high compatibility with the Life attribute. The combination of the two could give birth to an even more powerful healing attribute.
However, what Shi Quan worried about was that the Sacred Dragon's sacred attribute might be too strong and purify the Eight Spider Lances' swallowing attribute along with the poison.
Both choices had their pros and cons.
Shi Quan didn't dwell on it for now. Instead, he first put the Eight Spider Lances and the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse into his hundred treasure pouch. He needed to confirm one thing first.
"Extract Dragon Spine."
Under the shimmering golden light, a Dragon Spine, resembling a golden blade, appeared in Shi Quan's hand. The Dragon Spine was over a meter long, enveloped in golden light. Holding it, one felt a sense of peace and harmony mixed with unparalleled dominance.
The Dragon Spine was covered with intricate patterns, like mountains and rivers, or like the sun, moon, and stars. Counting them, this Dragon Spine was actually composed of thirty-six segments.
The average human spine usually has thirty-two to thirty-three segments. This Dragon Spine had three or four more segments than the average person.
Thirty-six...
This number hinted at the Heavenly Stems. After all, he was a Human Emperor, so it was normal for him to be special, Shi Quan thought to himself, but looking at the Dragon Spine in his hand, he felt a sense of familiarity.
One side carved with the sun, moon, and stars, the other side carved with mountains, rivers, and plants.
Shi Quan's mind trembled, and he suddenly remembered something: the Xuanyuan Sword!
This Dragon Spine originated from the Human Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, and Xuanyuan Huangdi's primary weapon was the Xuanyuan Sword.
Could it be that some brother Transmigrated to the Fengyun World and was preparing to refine this Dragon Bone into the Xuanyuan Sword?
The System's description of the Dragon Spine was the Dragon Bone from the fan-fiction Fengyun World, so it might really be as Shi Quan thought.
"As expected of a brother from the Transmigration army, he's got some ideas of his own."
Shi Quan secretly gave him a thumbs-up and no longer hesitated. He took off his upper garment, picked up the Dragon Spine in his hand, and slowly pressed it against his back.
Buzz—
A faint hum sounded. Shi Quan felt all the bones in his body tremble. A sharp yet majestic aura drilled into his body from his back, followed by a golden light blooming. The Dragon Spine transformed into countless golden streams of Qi, enveloping his entire being.
A warm, comfortable aura permeated the air.
It was clearly a sharp aura, but Shi Quan didn't feel any discomfort; instead, he felt full of comfort.
The golden aura fluctuated within Shi Quan's body. Shi Quan could feel that his Internal Energy was being specially drawn by this golden aura, slowly fluctuating. With each fluctuation, his Internal Energy became purer.
He could feel that his original black and white Internal Energy, under the golden light, became more textured. If his previous Internal Energy was a flowing gas, then his current Internal Energy was more like a winding stream.
Loud cracking sounds of bones reverberated inside the cave, yet Shi Quan still felt no pain.
The warm golden Qi began to act on all his Meridians, and the Internal Energy within his body also began to move. The Indestructible Divine Skill and the Muscle and Marrow Cleansing techniques operated simultaneously.
Gradually, the muscles and bones within his body were tinged with a faint golden glow. The powerful force caused Shi Quan's muscles and bones to change every moment.
Gradually, Shi Quan completely immersed himself in this comfortable feeling...
