Although there were also doubts in Xiaowu's words, she came back alive after all. Who could have imagined that there was a relationship between her and the Titan Ape? Everyone chose to believe without realizing it.

  Zhao Wuji nodded and said, "It's good that you're back. After you were taken away, Xiao San was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She asked me for the mushroom sausage and went to chase after you..." At this point, he briefly told Oscar everything that had happened before. Oscar also handed over a recovery sausage at the right time.

  Listening to Zhao Wuji's words, Xiao Wu's eyes also turned red, tears streaming down like a kite with a broken string. Looking at Tang San wrapped in the bloody mist, she muttered to herself: "Brother, you mustn't have anything happen to you, it's all my fault, I'm the one who made you worry. You must hold on. As long as you can wake up, I'll do whatever it takes."

  Xiao Wu really regretted it, momentarily careless and forgetting to retract her aura, only to be discovered by Er Ming, who rushed over to meet with her. If she hadn't been kidnapped by Er Ming, none of the subsequent events would have occurred. Tang San also wouldn't be absorbing soul rings in this state right now.

  But now it's too late to say anything, can only hope that Tang San's will is strong enough to get through this difficult time.

  At this moment, in Tang San's will, there was only one sentence: Xiao Wu, I must go to save you. For the sake of this thought, no matter how great the pain was, he endured it, not letting his spirit collapse first. At this critical juncture of life and death, the foundation that Tang San had cultivated since childhood revealed itself. His body was originally much stronger than ordinary people of the same age, and the Xuan Tian Gong was a resilient and authentic internal skill of the Taoist sect.

  If the energy of the Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring had consciousness, it would have discovered that its violent energy seemed to want to burst Tang San's body every time, but his body always managed to hold back that violent energy with its strong resilience at the last moment.

  And with each of these resistances, the energy contained in the Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring was also being absorbed by Tang San's body bit by bit. As one disappeared and another grew, this violent energy was also constantly weakening.

  Tang San now faces the most critical issue of how to integrate the soul ring energy absorbed with his own body and Xuan Tian Gong, as well as merge it with Blue Silver Grass.

  Although the Blue Silver Grass itself is weak and small, it does not reject any external forces, but the energy of the Man Faced Demon Spider Soul Ring is too overbearing, so that even the Blue Silver Grass martial soul is somewhat unwilling to absorb it. It is this mutually conflicting process that brings the greatest pain to Tang San.

  Fortunately, before starting to absorb the soul ring, he ate another Oscar's recovery sausage, otherwise his physical strength would probably not be able to hold on at this time.

  The bones on Tang San's body began to emit a dense crackling sound, which didn't seem loud but gave people a shocking and thrilling feeling, as if Tang San's entire body might burst at any moment.

  A faint layer of grayish color gradually appeared on the surface of the blood beads, and with the absorption of the soul ring, the energy contained in the Man Faced Demon Spider was undergoing a process of washing Tang San's body in an extremely harsh manner. The pain it contained was so intense that it was unimaginable.

  Finally, in front of Tang San's unyielding willpower, all the energy within his body began to compromise. They started a process of mutual absorption and transformation.

  The fine beads of blood no longer overflowed, and Tang San's tightly furrowed brow also relaxed a bit. A layer of faint blue light began to quietly emanate from his body.

  "Done. The most dangerous moment has passed, and now it's the process of soul power transformation. This kid Tang San is indeed a creator of miracles. He withstood the 2000-year-old Man-Faced Demon Spider Soul Ring. Ge Long and his dragon snake should be grateful that this soul ring wasn't absorbed by their granddaughter, or she might have burst by now."

  Along with the release of blue light, a strand of Blue Silver Grass began to appear around Tang San's body, slowly growing out. The volume of the Blue Silver Grass hadn't changed much, and compared to when it had two soul rings, it was even thinner. Its original dark blue color had also turned into a purple-blue color, a blended color that no longer appeared in a flower pattern.

  At this time, the Blue Silver Grass was about two fingers thick, and the difference from the largest one before was the luster attached to it. It seemed as if a layer of glaze had been applied to the grass, making it shine brightly.

  Zhao Wuji let everyone take a few steps back, he knew that this was because Tang San's newly increased power was still somewhat uncontrollable, causing his soul force to overflow. Given Tang San's previous physical condition, it would be strange if he could control the energy after this increase.

  "Ah——” Just as everyone thought the situation was settled, Tang San's relaxed eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and a mournful cry escaped his lips. His body, which had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, convulsed violently, his chest heaving upwards, his entire upper body arching backwards in a terrifying and frightening manner.

  "Brother——." Xiaowu cried out in a loud voice, tears streaming down her face, her tightly clenched fists digging into her palms without realizing it.

  Zhao Wujie was also shocked, had another problem arisen?

  Just as everyone was shocked, suddenly, accompanied by the sound of breaking silk, Tang San's clothes behind him suddenly burst open, and Dai Mubai standing behind him clearly saw that on both sides of Tang San's spine, four fist-sized protrusions bulged out.

  "What's going on? At Dai Mubai's shout, everyone discovered the change on Tang San's back. At this moment, Tang San seemed to be enduring immense pain, and started to have dense beads of blood emerging from under his skin, his entire body convulsing violently."

  Immediately afterwards, the eight protrusions suddenly burst open. Strangely, Tang San's skin behind him did not recoil. Eight fist-sized, deep purple objects drilled out from those eight protrusions and grew wildly at an astonishing speed.

  When those eight bulges burst and grew out of deep purple objects, Tang San seemed to relax, his facial expression relaxed a lot, but the convulsions in his body continued.

  Under the gaze of the crowd, the deep purple object had already grown more than a meter in length in the blink of an eye and was still growing at an astonishing speed. When its length exceeded one and a half meters, it paused slightly, and something like joints grew at the end. As the deep purple continued to extend, it extended from the joint towards another direction.

  "This, this is..."

  Eight purple-black objects extended over three meters before stopping, their entire bodies shining with a deep purple light. The surface looked extremely radiant and the thickest part was near Tang San's back, gradually becoming thinner as they extended outward until the tip became sharp like an awl.

  "Isn't this the leg of the human-faced spider?"

  Look at Tang San, then look again at the corpse of the human-faced demon spider on the other side. The crowd was shocked to discover that the object growing from Tang San's back was surprisingly similar to the spider legs of the human-faced demon spider, only slightly thinner overall, but with a more lustrous appearance and even emitting a faint sweet fragrance.

  Zhao Wuji had seen many soul masters absorb soul rings before, but this scene was also the first time he had witnessed it in his life. For a moment, he lost his judgment.

  Strange things hadn't ended yet, when the eight spider legs behind Tang San stretched out and began to move slightly, the four spider legs below slowly inserted into the ground, and actually lifted Tang San's body sitting cross-legged on the ground up into the air.

  At this time, Tang San was like he had eight three-meter-long arms, looking extremely eerie.

  Tang San's body finally stopped convulsing, his clothes were all torn apart. Gradually, the Blue Silver Grass that had extended out earlier slowly retracted, wrapping his body in a reverse direction, just like a big cocoon enclosing him inside. Only the spider legs outside were moving slowly and rhythmically.

  The people of Shrek Academy couldn't understand why things had turned out this way, and all they could do now was wait. Faintly, they could only hear the sound of bones crackling in that cocoon. As for what happened to Tang San, no one dared to say.

  Ma Hongjun couldn't help but say: "Tang San won't turn into a giant spider, will he?"

  Xiao Wu glared at him fiercely, "Impossible. How could Xiao San turn into a spider? This must be some kind of mutation caused by the soul ring he absorbed. He's definitely going to be okay."

  Even Xiaowu didn't know whether her words were comforting others or herself. Waiting was all they could do now.

  However, no one expected this wait to be so long.

  Oscar absorbed the soul ring in less than half a joss stick's time, but after Tang San was wrapped in Blue Silver Grass, time seemed to freeze, and there was no movement at all.

  One watch passed, two watches passed. The sky color gradually changed from dark to bright and then back to dark again. Twelve whole watches of waiting made everyone extremely exhausted. But no one dared to be careless, they could only wait.

  The only thing that comforted them was that the eight spider legs growing on Tang San's back were always moving, showing signs of life.

  Under Zhao Wuji's orders, everyone took turns resting, but Xiao Wu refused to leave Tang San's side, staying guard under his body. She silently prayed in her heart, praying that Tang San would safely pass this difficult test.

  "Hmm—" A low moan startled Shaoxia, whose consciousness was already somewhat blurry. She hurriedly lifted her head to look over.

  The slender blue silver grass slowly unfolded, one by one stretching outwards, gradually revealing the master inside.
