Tang San's body was covered with a layer of dark brown stuff, and as the Blue Silver Grass dispersed, these dark brown objects fell off his body like shed fruit peels, revealing the body inside.
When Xiao Wu saw Tang San's body again, her pretty face couldn't help but flush bright red. At this time, Tang San was not wearing a single piece of clothing, his entire body completely exposed, and the muscles on his body had become extremely pronounced, although they were not exaggeratedly bulging, but looked full of power. Underneath his dark bronze-colored skin, there was a faint purple glow flowing, and he floated in mid-air, his previously crossed legs now stretched out, his limbs naturally hanging down, looking like he was filled with an eerie aura.
In Tang San's disheveled black hair, a strand of extremely eye-catching purple hair appeared, and that purple hair seemed to be able to emit a luster, making Xiao Wu see it very clearly.
The previous groan was indeed from Tang San's mouth, and at this moment, his eyes were slowly opening, with a dazed look in his eyes.
Tang San himself didn't know what had happened, he only felt that he had been enduring and withstanding extreme pain all along. The conviction to save Xiao Wu had been supporting his willpower. When the extremely intense pain suddenly disappeared, a kind of indescribable comfort instantly spread throughout his entire body.
The pain was bearable, and when the comfort came after extreme pain, Tang San finally fell into a deep sleep. When he regained consciousness again, it was the scene that Xiao Wu had just seen.
Everything in front of him was a blur, as if shrouded in a layer of white gauze. Various sensations gradually returned to his body, accompanied by the gradual clearing of his consciousness. As Tang San's senses slowly came back to him, the scene before his eyes also gradually became clearer.
His body felt incredibly comfortable, as if every cell inside him was cheering and jumping with joy. There was only a slight itch on his back, as if something was extending out from behind him. He could feel the dampness of the soil and the caress of the surrounding air, but Tang San vaguely sensed that something had changed.
At this time, others also noticed the change in Tang San. Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong saw his body and hurriedly turned around, not daring to look again. Xiao Wu was also shy, but Tang San's safety was more important to her, so she suppressed her shyness and continued to gaze at him seriously.
Two yellows and one purple, three soul rings revolved around Tang San's body up and down, the purple soul ring looked extremely conspicuous, with a bright luster. Set against Tang San's physique, it looked even more striking. And all the Blue Silver Grass around Tang San had quietly disappeared, only the eight three-meter-long giant spider legs behind his back still existed.
"Brother..." Xiaowu couldn't help but softly call out.
The sudden voice startled Tang San, this voice was too familiar to him, and also too yearned for. Subconsciously he looked in the direction of the sound, just in time to see Xiao Wu looking up at him with her head raised.
Tang San's body violently shook, and he was about to pounce towards Xiao Wu, but at this moment his body was suspended in mid-air supported by the four spider legs. Those spider legs were also a part of his body, and as he moved with his thoughts, they naturally retracted and pulled out from the ground.
Tang San himself was unclear about the changes in his body, and he immediately lost his balance, falling from mid-air.
"Be careful." Xiao Wu exclaimed, opening her arms to catch Tang San's body. Fortunately, she was quite strong, and the force of Tang San's fall from over two meters in the air wasn't too great, so he was caught safely by Xiao Wu.
The eight spider legs behind him lifted up at the same time, looking strange but not affecting Tang San's movements.
A familiar scent entered his nostrils, and Tang San almost instinctively wrapped his arms around Xiao Wu's body. "Am I... am I dreaming? Xiao Wu, is it really you?"
Xiao Wu also tightly hugged Tang San, already crying uncontrollably.
At this time, Tang San had gradually recovered from the daze of just waking up. The scent of Xiao Wu was all too familiar to him, and with the warmth transmitted by her soft body in his arms, he knew that everything was real - Xiao Wu was back, she was back.
"Okay, don't cry, it's fine now that you're back, it's fine now." Gently patting Xiao Wu's back, Tang San couldn't help but get teary-eyed. All his worries dissipated at this moment, and seeing Xiao Wu again gave him a feeling of being reunited after a lifetime apart, making his heart and soul tremble. Compared to Xiao Wu, the third soul ring he had just obtained was nothing. In his heart, there was nothing more important than Xiao Wu's life.
"Brother, it's all my fault, I've worried you." Xiaowu said with a sob.
Tang San shook his head, "Fool, it's my fault, I'm not good enough, I didn't protect you well."
"Cough, cough." The sudden coughing from beside them brought the two people back to reality.
Coughing was Dai Mu Bai, "Little San, although I admit that your capital is not bad, but are you going to put on at least a pair of pants first? After all, there are other girls around."
Tang San was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked down at himself, only to discover that he didn't even have a single piece of cloth on his body.
Xiao Wu also came to her senses at this time, and her pretty face suddenly turned bright red. She hurriedly closed her eyes, but still didn't want to leave Xiao San's arms. She just buried her head in his chest and refused to lift it up.
"This... how did I become like this? Who took off my clothes?" Tang San asked dully.
Oscar poked his head out from beside, "No one undressed you, who knows how they disappeared?"
Tang San reached into his waist and felt around, fortunately the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night was still there. He then quickly pushed Xiao Wu away, hastily putting on a set of clothes.
It was fine when he put on his pants, but when he put on his shirt, a problem arose. Tang San only discovered the anomaly on his back at this time. When he saw the eight spider legs growing out of his back with sharp stingers, he was stunned.
Fatty Ox, Ma Hongjun said in perfect sync: "Don't ask us why it's like this, none of us know. This is what happened during the process of you absorbing that Human-Faced Demon Spider Soul Ring. Tang San, did your soul ring undergo a variation?"
Tang San had at least put on his pants by now, and Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also turned around. After a day and night of waiting, Tang San was finally fine, but the changes on his body were so strange that they couldn't help but arouse everyone's curiosity. Even Zhao Wuji was no exception.
"Let me feel it for myself." Tang San stood there and slowly closed his eyes.
Generally speaking, Soul Masters can sense the new soul skill they possess after absorbing a soul ring. Just like Oscar knew his third soul spell was the Sausage Soul Curse as soon as he absorbed his third soul ring.
Tang San suffered too much pain during the process of absorbing the soul ring, so much that he spent the second half of the absorption and transformation process in a coma. Only then could he calm down to feel everything brought by this third soul ring.
Tang San's meditation lasted for nearly half a quarter of an hour. When he opened his eyes again, his expression became somewhat strange.
"How is it?" Xiaowu asked anxiously.
Tang San doubted, "There shouldn't be a problem. Soul rings won't change. Teacher once said that only the martial soul can change, and different martial souls absorbing the same soul ring will produce different effects. I've already obtained a skill after absorbing the Man-Faced Demon Spider's soul ring. Everything is normal. However, these eight spider legs on my back can't be explained."
"Ah!" A shrill cry suddenly rang out, and everyone was startled, thinking that a soul beast had come to attack, and immediately became vigilant. When they looked towards the source of the cry, however, they found nothing unusual.
Ma Hongjun let out a miserable cry, his right hand tightly grasping his left hand, his face contorted in pain. His left hand had already turned a deep purple color, and the skin seemed to have burst open, with black liquid flowing down from it, accompanied by a stream of dark energy rapidly extending up his arm.
"Not good, he's been poisoned. Oscar, hurry." Zhao Wuji let out a low growl and took a swift step to arrive at Ma Hongjun's side, slapping his palm directly onto his shoulder, using his own dense soul power to help suppress the invading toxins within his body.
"The old man has a small sausage." The dry little sausage was delivered to the fat boy's mouth in time. Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Unfortunately, their relaxation did not last for too long.
The small sausage entered the abdomen, and the detoxification effect took effect immediately. The black gas flowing up along the arm to the eyes suddenly stopped spreading and reversed its direction. However, this process only lasted for a very short time, and before the black gas had retreated to the elbow of the fat boy, it suddenly stopped again, and after a moment, it began to spread upwards once more.
"Oscar's face changed greatly. 'This toxin is too strong, even my small intestine can't dissolve it. Fatty, how did you get poisoned?'"
Large drops of sweat kept falling from Ma Hongjun's forehead, and he was clearly suffering greatly. Despite Zhao Wuji's help, the two men's soul power had little effect in resisting the toxin, and the dark energy continued to spread. And Fatzi's palms had already begun to fester.
From the fatty's miserable cry to now, it was only a short while. The toxicity of this medicine was so intense that it shocked everyone beyond recognition.
Fatty clenched his teeth and endured the immense pain, barely managing to say: "I was just curious and touched the spider leg on your back, Tang San, and it became like this. Your spider leg is poisonous."
Tang San was stunned for a moment, and then a light bulb went off in his head. He suddenly thought of something, "Fatty, don't move. Everyone get back, absolutely do not touch the sharp thorns on my Spider Legs again."
