Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Ma Hongjun: "What's the Fun in Life Without the Evil Fire?"

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, hiding in the bushes, couldn't help but want to laugh when they saw the positions Dai Mubai and Oscar were in.

Originally, Oscar wanted to cling to Dai Mubai like an octopus, but Dai Mubai found it uncomfortable and ended up princess-carrying Oscar. The whole thing looked awkward.

Zhao Wuji, knowing time was tight, didn't bother about their posture. Oscar's soul power was limited, and it wasn't worth it for him to consume his own sausage. The situation was urgent—if Tang San encountered an unstoppable soul beast, Zhao Wuji would be in deep trouble. He really didn't want to go back, but he had no choice and cursed inwardly.

After Ning Rongrong enhanced their speed with her support skill, they chased in the direction Tang San had flown.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance, both seeing the amusement in each other's eyes. They knew Su Ming and Xiao Wu would be fine, and now they had a legitimate reason to stay behind—it couldn't get any better.

Zhu Zhuqing turned to Ning Rongrong and said, "Rongrong, I feel like I'm about to break through. Can you keep an eye on the surroundings for me?"

Ning Rongrong was pleasantly surprised at Zhu Zhuqing's impending breakthrough. She hadn't expected her to advance to level 36 so soon. Still, thinking about how she had just caught up, only to fall behind again, she felt a little disheartened.

Since Zhu Zhuqing was going to break through, Ning Rongrong focused her mental energy outward, ensuring that she'd immediately notice any danger.

Meanwhile, Ma Hongjun sat by, admiring the two beauties beside him but unable to stir up any "evil fire." Even though losing the evil fire was good for him, he didn't like it. Without "that," what joy was there left in life?

Ning Rongrong could tell what Ma Hongjun was thinking but didn't bother saying anything. He deserved it, after all. It was good that he'd lost "that" part of him. Hopefully, he'd behave better from now on, or Xiao Wu would definitely find another chance to deal with him when she returned.

On the other side, Su Ming's diary continued:

[In the original story, just when Tang San was about to absorb the Man-Faced Demon Spider as his third spirit ring, Dragon Duke, Snake Lady, and Meng Yiran appeared again. Coincidentally, this Man-Faced Demon Spider had already been weakened by having its web consumed, allowing Tang San to win using the weight of his Clear Sky Hammer.]

[But this time, after my warning, Dragon Duke and Snake Lady should have paid more attention to the age of the Man-Faced Demon Spider. So, if everything goes as expected, the spider Tang San encounters should be in much better shape.]

[I have to say, it's worth complaining about how Dragon Duke and Snake Lady are a Soul Douluo and a peak Soul Emperor, yet they always let thousand-year soul beasts slip away. Either of them could have used a stronger skill to heavily injure the Man-Faced Demon Spider, but for some reason, they kept letting the soul beasts escape—it's absurd!]

[In the original story, when Liu Erlong helped the fatty acquire his fourth spirit ring, she violently attacked the soul beast, even resorting to close combat. She's like a real 'Tyrannosaurus Rex.']

Liu Erlong: "... Did I really hunt soul beasts that violently? I don't remember that!"

Seeing Su Ming call Liu Erlong a "Tyrannosaurus Rex," everyone wanted to laugh, curious how Liu Erlong would react.

Liu Erlong, if not stopped by the system, would have definitely wanted to punch Su Ming for his audacity.

Su Ming: "Come at me if you can! Let's see if you can even touch me!"

But it did seem odd to everyone else. Given Dragon Duke and Snake Lady's strength, how could they repeatedly let soul beasts escape? Why not just severely injure them and leave them with a sliver of life? Their methods were puzzling.

Moreover, both soul beasts conveniently fell into the hands of the Shrek students—it was too coincidental!

[Then, Tang San encountered Dragon Duke and Snake Lady, and they mentioned that the Man-Faced Demon Spider was theirs, hoping Tang San would give it up. But after fighting so hard for it, there was no way Tang San would just give it away.]

[Soon after, Zhao Wuji and the others caught up. With the same flying support as before, they were incredibly slow.]

[Zhao Wuji pulled Dragon Duke and Snake Lady aside for a private conversation, revealing that Tang San was backed by Tang Hao. This forced the two to back down, as they knew they couldn't handle a Title Douluo. It wasn't worth offending Tang Hao over a Man-Faced Demon Spider.]

[So, in the end, they let Meng Yiran decide the competition, and she chose to have a contest of throwing hidden weapons, competing over who could hit the most leaves. The winner would get the spider. Honestly, this was the third coincidence! Why train with snake staffs only to end up competing by throwing weapons? What's the point?]

[She didn't have Tang San's skills and didn't know how to make superior hidden weapons, so her effort was a complete waste!]

[Luckily for her, Tang San won the contest, which probably saved her life. After all, a spirit ring from a Man-Faced Demon Spider over two thousand years old would have been too much for her. She'd either explode and die or suffer severe injuries even with Dragon Duke and Snake Lady intervening.]

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing now understood why Su Ming had said those things before Dragon Duke and Snake Lady left. It seemed like they wouldn't be coming back this time. If Tang San encountered the Man-Faced Demon Spider, would he be able to defeat it before Zhao Wuji and the others arrived?

They both doubted it!

[Tang San quickly finished the contest and, unsurprisingly, won. Meng Yiran, impressed by his skill, even kissed him on the cheek, catching him off guard. This time, though, that probably won't happen.]

[I have to say, Tang San really wanted that Man-Faced Demon Spider spirit ring. He wasted so much time before deciding to rescue Xiao Wu. Was he really that intent on saving her? I couldn't understand his logic back then.]

[In the original story, Xiao Wu ended up returning on her own while Tang San was still absorbing the spirit ring. Under normal circumstances, she would've been long dead by then. How did she even manage to come back?]

[I can't remember how long it took Tang San to absorb the third spirit ring, but since he was absorbing a ring beyond his limit, especially one from a Man-Faced Demon Spider, it must have taken at least an hour or two!]


Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Dai Mubai: Tang San Has Another Spirit, and It's the Clear Sky Hammer!

From Su Ming's diary, the female leads once again learned what it means to be hypocritical. No wonder Su Ming had no favorable opinion of Tang San and constantly referred to him as a false gentleman. If Tang San wanted the Man-Faced Demon Spider for himself, he should have just said so. Instead, he claimed it was for Xiao Wu, that absorbing the third spirit ring would slightly enhance his strength. By the time he finished absorbing it, Xiao Wu would already be dead! And what would that slight increase in strength do against the Titan Giant Ape?

Had Xiao Wu been able to see this while condensing her fourth spirit ring, she would no doubt have roasted Tang San in her mind. In the original story, not only was she frequently injured, but Tang San would always claim he wanted to save her and that he loved her—only to turn around and absorb the Man-Faced Demon Spider as his third spirit ring.

What Xiao Wu didn't know was that later, when Tang San was obtaining his fourth spirit ring, he stubbornly insisted on absorbing a ten-thousand-year Earth Cavern Demon Spider. There was also a six-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider nearby, which divided their efforts. By that point, Xiao Wu had nearly exhausted her soul power and couldn't use her teleportation ability, which led to her being stabbed by the Man-Faced Demon Spider!

Xiao Wu, thinking she was done for, collapsed onto Liu Erlong. At that moment, Tang San, while loudly crying Xiao Wu's name, seemed so desperate. Yet instead of checking on her, he immediately attacked the Man-Faced Demon Spider, even using his Eight Spider Lances to absorb its energy, while Xiao Wu was on the verge of death!

Luckily, Xiao Wu had carried a celestial herb with her, or else she might not have survived.

If current Xiao Wu knew about this, she wouldn't know how to feel. In the original story, she had foolishly placed her trust in Tang San, falling deeply in love with him to the point where, toward the end, it seemed like she had lost her own will and agency, merely serving as a tool.

Su Ming believed that Xiao Wu's existence in the original story seemed primarily to provide Tang San with three ten-thousand-year spirit rings and to act as the sheath for Tang San's Asura Divine Sword, revolving entirely around Tang San. It felt like a sacrifice.

Meanwhile, Tang San, after consuming Oscar's Flying Mushroom Sausage and with Ning Rongrong's speed boost, moved swiftly and soon returned to the place they had just left.

Not long after, Tang San began to sense something was wrong. Alert, he activated his Purple Demon Eyes, and in the distance, he saw a Man-Faced Demon Spider approaching. Judging by its size, it was likely over two thousand two hundred years old.

Tang San found himself at a crossroads. This Man-Faced Demon Spider was exactly what he needed, but it exceeded the third spirit ring age limit that his teacher had advised. What should he do? Moreover, he was alone—there was no way he could defeat it. But he needed to save Xiao Wu!

As Tang San hesitated, the Man-Faced Demon Spider locked onto him, and he had no choice but to prepare for battle.

A short while later, Zhao Wuji and the others arrived. Thanks to Ning Rongrong's support in restoring some of his soul power, Oscar had the energy to create more mushroom sausages, and their pursuit had been quicker, as they only had to supply Zhao Wuji and Dai Mubai with sausages.

When they arrived, they saw a shocking sight—Tang San was covered in blood, especially his right arm, where his sleeve was gone, revealing purple-tinged skin, a clear sign of poisoning!

Without the interference of the Dragon Duke and Serpent Grandmother, the Man-Faced Demon Spider had been able to retain its three daily uses of webbing. Although Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step was quite evasive, he had already consumed much of his soul power. The Man-Faced Demon Spider, being fast and dangerous, had shot its webbing twice, which Tang San barely dodged, but the third shot hit his right arm.

Fortunately, Tang San had his Mysterious Jade Hand, which prevented the poison from spreading too quickly. But if too much time passed, the outcome might change. His only option for survival was to kill the Man-Faced Demon Spider and absorb its spirit ring, which would automatically neutralize the poison. He could then channel the toxins into his Blue Silver Grass.

After realizing that his Blue Silver Grass was ineffective against the Man-Faced Demon Spider, Tang San turned to his second martial spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer. Though it had no spirit rings attached, he noticed that pouring soul power into the hammer made it increasingly heavy. Coupled with the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique his father had taught him, there might still be a chance for victory!

When Zhao Wuji and the others arrived, they saw Tang San wielding an enormous hammer in his left hand. Oscar, confused, wondered when Tang San had acquired such a huge hammer and where he had been hiding it. This hammer looked extraordinary!

Zhao Wuji and Dai Mubai, having more knowledge than Oscar, immediately recognized the hammer as the legendary Clear Sky Hammer, the number one tool spirit in the world!

The moment Zhao Wuji saw the Clear Sky Hammer, he confirmed that Tang San was indeed Tang Hao's son. This hammer looked exactly like the one that had beaten him up before—how could he forget?

At the same time, Zhao Wuji felt immensely relieved. Thankfully, they had caught up, or Tang San would have been in serious danger. He was already severely injured, and the poison in his right arm was particularly troublesome.

Dai Mubai also instantly recognized the hammer as the Clear Sky Hammer. The Clear Sky School had supported the Star Luo Empire before its closure, so he had some knowledge of it.

Now Dai Mubai understood why Tang San was born with full innate soul power and why his Blue Silver Grass could be cultivated—it was all because of the Clear Sky Hammer!

Dai Mubai immediately began plotting. He needed to build a good relationship with Tang San. With Tang San's help, his chances of securing the throne would greatly increase!

While he didn't know why Tang San wasn't with the Clear Sky School but wandering outside, that didn't matter to him. What mattered was that Tang San was one of the few people on the continent, besides Bibi Dong, with twin martial spirits. If cultivated properly, his future strength would be immense. With one of his spirits being the Clear Sky Hammer, his future achievements might even rival those of Bibi Dong!

Now that Tang San was his classmate, and they had shared life-and-death experiences together, their bond was strong. If Tang San grew as powerful as Bibi Dong in the future, the Star Luo Empire would no longer be under the control of Spirit Hall. When the Clear Sky Hammer reemerged, neither the Heaven Dou Empire nor Spirit Hall would be a match for the Star Luo Empire. Hahaha!
