Chapter 122 Eight Spider Lances, King of the Earth
Zhu Zhuqing worked hard to absorb the spirit ring, but it wasn't a big problem. She had consumed two high-quality whale glue pills, which greatly enhanced her physical strength. Li Luochen felt that her third spirit ring should be able to absorb about 3,500 years' worth of spirit rings, which was more than enough for the 2,000-year-old human-faced demon spider.
The Human-Faced Demon Spider is known as a Soul Beast Killing Machine, and its speed is incredibly fast. Its life-saving technique, possessed by the Spider God, is quite powerful. This Soul Beast has dark and poison attributes, and its compatibility with the Netherworld Cat is only so-so.
With a Soul Bone, nothing else matters. In the Eight Spider Lances state, all attributes are increased by 50%, which is already incredibly powerful.
Zhu Zhuqing tried her best to absorb the nutrients, but her complexion was very poor. Despite having only been in the body for over two thousand years, she found it extremely difficult to absorb them. In an instant, Zhu Zhuqing's back burst open, and four pairs of spider legs grew out.
Upon seeing the spider legs, Li Luochen instantly transformed into a crooked-mouthed dragon king, his mouth practically contorted with laughter. He desperately wanted to burst into laughter.
However, Zhu Zhuqing has a really good figure; her back is so smooth, it's a shame she doesn't get cupping done.
Li Luochen eventually pulled Oscar and Ma Hongjun away, after all, she was just a little over eleven years old, it wasn't appropriate, and Ning Rongrong could take care of her.
About fifteen minutes later, Zhu Zhuqing came over after changing her clothes. Her face was flushed, while Ning Rongrong smiled slyly. Just now, Ning Rongrong had taken advantage of Zhu Zhuqing under the guise of being a girl, giving Zhu Zhuqing a good rub of her sins.
After the massage, she was still not satisfied and really wanted to bury her face in it and sleep. Zhu Zhuqing changed her clothes, and the four pairs of spider legs on her back made her uncomfortable. She didn't know what they were.
"Zhuqing, how are you feeling?" Li Luochen asked.
"Well, my third soul skill is called Netherworld Spider God Slash, a powerful single-target attack soul skill. As for the thing on my back, it seems to increase all my attributes by fifty percent."
Zhu Zhuqing felt the sudden change in herself. Her soul power had reached level 32, and she still had excess whale glue in her body, plus the ability to absorb soul rings of higher levels.
"What's behind you is an external soul bone, the rarest of all soul bones. Once it's fused into your body, it will grow along with the soul master, and it won't fall off after the soul master dies, understand?"
However, since you haven't merged with it yet, it will still fall off. Come here, I'll use my soul power to pressure you, and you'll use my soul pressure to merge with the soul bone.
As Li Luochen spoke, he placed one hand on Zhu Zhuqing's headband, displaying her combat soul power, starting directly at level twenty-seven, then twenty-eight, twenty-nine... thirty-five, thirty-six, thirty-seven.
When Zhu Zhuqing finally reached level 42, she and the Eight Spider Spears were completely fused together and she could control them at will. Half of the task was completed. The final step was to help Ma Hongjun obtain a ten-thousand-year-old Earth King.
However, the Earth King of the Star Dou Great Forest is a bit difficult to deal with. The Earth King usually lives with social scorpion-type soul beasts like the Pink Lady. They usually have groups and are rarely alone.
Three days later
Li Luochen led a few people to continue their search, and also used several thousand-year-old soul beasts to train their teamwork.
Currently, Shrek Academy can be said to be divided into three factions: the faction led by Li Luochen, the independent faction led by Dai Mubai, and the faction led by Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the later-arriving Gangzi.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar are already Li Luochen's people, Zhu Zhuqing has just joined, and Ning Rongrong is still in the process of being won over. But, after all, only through trials and tribulations can feelings be deepened.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing are closer to Oscar, but she didn't reveal the little witch's personality. Li Luochen still wants to see what a little witch is like, so that it will be more interesting to teach her a lesson.
As the number of battle spirit beasts increased, their teamwork improved, and Zhu Zhuqing had already adapted to her third spirit skill and the Eight Spider Lances. Ning Rongrong was lucky; while frantically providing support, she also consumed a recovery sausage, resulting in a breakthrough in her spirit power, reaching level twenty-seven. Her Three Apertures Heart Control was becoming more refined, and she would soon reach the Four Apertures level.
Li Luochen was quite satisfied with their progress. He felt that their Star Dou training was nearly complete and they could now obtain their spirit rings.
After searching for a long time, they found a lone Earth King, which was just over 10,000 years old, just right for Ma Hongjun. Moreover, this Earth King was a little different, with a different color, which might mean that it was an Earth King that had undergone some mutation.
Unlike the mutated Earth King that Li Luochen encountered last time, this one was more like a semi-mutated one. He just didn't know how powerful its flames were.
"You all stay here and rest, take care of yourselves, I'll be right back."
As Li Luochen spoke, his spirit rings appeared on his body—one yellow, two purple, and three black. He took out a dark purple stick and charged forward.
Li Luochen smashed open the Earth King's skull with a single blow, then broke its four limbs, easily crippling it.
"Hongjun, hurry and deal with it! You're a bit too heavy-handed; it's about to die."
Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun immediately spread his phoenix wings and flew over, taking out a dagger and plunging it into the Earth King's head, whereupon a black soul ring appeared.
Just as Ma Hongjun was about to absorb the information, Li Luochen suddenly spoke.
"Hongjun, ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts possess intelligence. The resentment of a dead soul beast can cause soul vibrations. Be careful, but it shouldn't be a big problem for you."
Li Luochen's words made Ma Hongjun dare not be careless. He knew that not only was soul power important for a soul master, but also mental power. He possessed a head soul bone that greatly enhanced his mental power.
Ning Rongrong looked at Ma Hongjun absorbing the spirit ring with a strange expression. No, she had felt something was wrong ever since Li Luochen and the others released their spirit rings. Li Luochen's second spirit ring was a thousand years old, and his fourth spirit ring was ten thousand years old. Oscar was a little better, with his fourth spirit ring being a thousand years old. Now, Ma Hongjun's fourth spirit ring was also ten thousand years old.
To her dismay, she knew that absorbing a spirit ring beyond one's level could result in the body exploding and death, yet they had clearly succeeded before. This made Ning Rongrong doubt the limits of a spirit master's ability to absorb spirit rings.
She remembered a "master" who had recorded the time limit for absorbing spirit rings, and he was very accurate in his records. But the examples before her were all unconventional.
This is absolutely insane. As the next sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she was confident in her talent, but the geniuses in front of her were all stronger than her. Moreover, Oscar, who was also a support-type, actually had combat power, and his strength could easily defeat a beast soul master like Dai Mubai.
Ning Rongrong really wanted to uncover the unique aspects of Shrek Academy, but as a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she felt she couldn't obtain such secrets. What kind of foolish organization would give away such secrets for free?
Ning Rongrong is conflicted. She has a slight liking for Oscar, a support-type Soul Master. She doesn't know why, but since entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Oscar has been protecting her, and she feels very reassured by this protection.
