As he spoke, he took a step forward and arrived in front of Fatty, disregarding the fact that Fatty's palm was already festering. He directly raised his hand and grasped it, at which point Tang San's palm instantly turned jade-like.

  A strange scene unfolded, even the Oscar's poisonous sausage that couldn't be solved, after Tang San grasped Fatty's hand with his palm, it rapidly retreated along its original path, and a faint purple-black liquid continuously flowed into Tang San's palm and disappeared.

  It was just a few breaths of time, and Pangzi's arm had returned to normal, and the wound on his palm began to bleed bright red blood. The painful color on his face also disappeared along with it.

  "What's going on?" The same question appeared in everyone's mind except Tang San.

  Seeing that Fatty was fine, Tang San also breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that everyone had many questions in their minds, but he didn't rush to explain. After releasing Fatty's hand, he quickly walked to the front of the dead Face Spider and pressed his hand on its body.

  The corpse of the Man-faced Demon Spider had completely turned into a grey color, devoid of any signs of life. Tang San only slightly activated his soul power, and a series of dense cracking sounds transmitted over. The corpse of that Man-faced Demon Spider had actually turned into fragments.

  "I understand now." Combining his feelings from his previous meditation, Tang San finally roughly figured out the whole story.

  "From now on, no one is allowed to touch the spider legs behind my back. These spider legs contain the deadly venom of the Man-Faced Spider Demon. When I absorbed the soul ring earlier, for some reason, I also absorbed all the toxins from the Man-Faced Spider Demon into my body. Why this happened can only be understood by asking Teacher. The reason is unknown, but my current physical condition has been roughly figured out. I have obtained the third soul skill granted by the Man-Faced Spider Demon, which is its specialty - the spider web. My Blue Silver Grass should also have undergone some variation after the addition of the Man-Faced Spider Demon's soul ring. As for how much it has varied, that can only be determined through experimentation upon returning. My overall attributes have been significantly enhanced, especially in terms of strength and speed. My soul power has also increased greatly, feeling like it's not just at level thirty-one."

  "What about these spider legs behind you?" Zhao Wuji asked.

  Tang San wryly said, "Just like when I absorbed the Man-Faced Demon Spider's entire venom, I don't know why this is happening either. Those spider legs seem to have nothing to do with the soul rings I absorbed. I can control their movements, it's just a bit awkward."

  Dai Mu Bai said: "Then can you make them withdraw? You can't always be like this, or people will think you're a monster."

  Tang San said helplessly: "Aren't we all monsters ourselves? I'll give it a try."

  As he spoke, he concentrated his soul power into the vertebrae on his back and sent a retrieval command to those eight spider legs.

  A strange scene unfolded as the three-meter-long spider legs slowly folded, with the two curved segments sticking together before gradually merging into Tang San's body.

  Tang San only felt a slight itch on his back, but nothing uncomfortable. In this process, the three soul rings on his body all lit up. Tang San could clearly feel that his soul power was rapidly being consumed. Apparently, retracting these spider legs required soul power to support it.

  When Tang San's soul power had been consumed by about one-third, all the spider legs finally sank into his back. Tang San could clearly feel that the eight spider legs inside his body did not disappear, but instead transformed into eight strange energies, starting from the spine and adhering to his eight ribs.

  "It's good that it can be retracted." Zhao Wuji nodded towards Tang San, "These spider legs are not bad. If they're really like the Man-Faced Demon Spider's spider legs, then your strength will be even greater, Little Three. Eight three-meter-long spider legs that can be controlled at will are equivalent to eight long spears, and they also have intense toxicity. If it's similar to the Man-Faced Demon Spider's toxin, it should be a neurotoxin combined with corrosive toxicity. Even Xiao Wu's small intestine couldn't neutralize it, showing just how severe the toxin is."

  Tang San was deep in thought. The process of obtaining the Man-Faced Demon Spider's soul ring had been extremely painful, and now that he had fully absorbed it, what he gained far exceeded what an ordinary Soul Master would gain from absorbing a soul ring. Not to mention the massive boost to his strength, but also gaining the skill he most desired. As for the eight spider legs on his back, Tang San didn't know whether to be happy or worried about them. After all, he had no idea what kind of consequences this situation would bring him in the future.

  At this time, Tang San missed his teacher even more, if Master was here, perhaps all these questions would have been answered.

  "Alright, let's not think about it for now, we'll talk about everything when we get back." Zhao Wuji smiled as he looked at the children in front of him, his mood greatly relaxed. "Although we encountered a lot of trouble this time and went through several dangers, in the end we finally made it through. Oscar, Tang San, and Xiao Wu smoothly advanced to the Soul Sage realm. The harvest is quite good. It's about time for us to head back, towards Shrek Academy, let's set off."

  The crowd cheered in unison, narrowly escaping death several times. Now that everything has been resolved, they can finally return home. The seven students looked at each other, with an unspoken understanding spreading among them. After this trip to the Star Dou Forest, whether they had obtained a Soul Ring or not, all they could think about now was returning to the academy and sleeping comfortably in their own beds.

  If it can be said that there were still some estrangements between the seven people when they came, then their relationship has undoubtedly become much closer now. Ning Rongrong, who was previously the least accepted by everyone, also gained recognition from others with her own actions, and she finally felt the meaning of the two words "friend" in life and death. In front of a group of geniuses more outstanding than herself, what superiority would she have?

  Although some time had passed, Zhao Wuji's strength was only at fifty percent of his best state due to using the Soul True Body. Therefore, everyone remained extremely cautious during their departure from the Star Dou Great Forest. Not only did each person have a mushroom sausage and recovery sausage from Oscar, but they also maintained the optimal defensive formation.

  As they walked out of the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu repeated to Tang San what she had previously said to everyone else. She also told him about getting her third soul ring.

  "Xiao Wu, what is your third soul ring skill?" Tang San asked curiously.

  Xiao Wu smiled slyly and said, "It's a secret, I'll tell you when we get back. Xiao San, how did you manage to kill that human-faced spider? You were alone at the time. Even if it was an injured human-faced spider, its attack power is still extremely terrifying. And it also has deadly poison."

  Upon hearing Xiao Wu's question, Tang San suddenly woke up with a start, "Right, I almost forgot something. Teacher Zhao, wait a minute before leaving."

  At this time, they had approached the edge of the Starry Sky Great Forest. Although some soul beasts could be seen, most were only at the tenth or hundredth level, and were not worth worrying about.

  Zhao Wuji stopped in his tracks and looked at Tang San, "What's wrong?"

  Tang San raised his hand and wiped the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night, taking out the Zhuge God Crossbow. It wasn't until Xiao Wu mentioned the death of the Human-Faced Spider that he remembered his own Zhuge God Crossbow hadn't fired a second bolt after being reloaded that day. If it stayed in a loaded state for too long, it would damage the crossbow body. Fortunately, only a little over a day had passed, and releasing the tension was still possible.

  Once Zhuge's crossbow is mounted on a good chariot, it must be fired to remove it, which is also one of its drawbacks.

  Seeing the Gu Daoyi in Tang San's hand, Xiao Wu suddenly realized, "So you used this to kill the Man-Faced Demon Spider. This thing is indeed powerful, the eyes of the Man-Faced Demon Spider definitely couldn't withstand it."

  Xiao Wu's words were naturally heard by the others, and because they had been in a state of tension all along, no one had noticed how the Man-Faced Demon Spider had died. After Tang San started absorbing the soul ring again, everyone was only concerned about his safety. Now that Xiao Wu mentioned it, they suddenly remembered what a terrifying existence the Man-Faced Demon Spider was, and looking at the Zhuge God Crossbow in Tang San's hand, they couldn't help but reveal surprised glances.

  Tang San used his actions to tell everyone what the Zhuge Divine Crossbow was for. After this incident in the Star Dou Forest, he had already acknowledged these partners in his heart. The mechanical type hidden weapons were not the true secrets of Tang Sect, and he didn't have anything to hide.

  He raised his hand and aimed the Godly Crossbow at a large tree beside him. Tang San pressed the switch.

  Clang, clang, a series of metallic sounds rang out, and everyone felt a flash before their eyes, followed by a series of puffing sounds.

  At that moment, the speed of the explosion was so fast that even Zhao Wuji's face changed color.

  Among the crowd, the fastest was undoubtedly the agile soul master Zhu Zhūqīng, but she knew that she absolutely could not escape from the extremely fast Shè speed of Zhuge's divine crossbow.

  Everyone's face changed color, and they looked at each other in shock.

  The crowd gathered in front of the tree, clearly seeing that on the trunk of this giant tree that needed three people to encircle it, there were now two rows of sixteen small holes as thick as fingers. The holes were translucent and could be seen from one side to the other.

  "Zhao Wuji couldn't help but ask: "Tang San, what is this thing? How did you do it?"

  Tang San held up the Zhuge God Crossbow in front of his master, "I call it the Zhuge God Crossbow. It's a very overbearing type of mechanical hidden weapon. Anyone can use it. Inside, it is equipped with forty-eight crossbow bolts, and after each time the mechanism is wound up, sixteen bolts can be shot out instantly, just like earlier. Once the mechanism is wound up, it must be fired, otherwise, maintaining the taut state for a long time will cause damage to the crossbow body. Because the tension of this repeating crossbow is very great, metal can't withstand it. This is also the weakness of the Zhuge God Crossbow."
