Chapter 730 Ning Fengzhi Wants to Seize the Eight Spider Spears
"This is a surprise from me for you. How about it? Do you like it?"
Meng Yiran's cold voice rang out at this moment, light and joking, yet so ruthless.
Tang San stared at her in shock, a hint of smugness still lingering on his face. He wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a strong, metallic taste welled up and he spat it out with a "pfft".
The crimson lip also had a strong purplish tinge, clearly indicating that the person had been poisoned.
Recalling the scene just now, Tang San still had a cruel and triumphant smile on his face. Without any pity or hesitation, he swung his Clear Sky Hammer at Meng Yiran.
However, before he could truly unleash the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian, Meng Yiran had already taken the initiative and launched a sudden counterattack.
Out of sight of everyone present, eight bulges rapidly appeared in the middle of Meng Yiran's spine. Then, eight strange, dark purple spider legs burst out from her back and stretched out with lightning speed.
Its entire body was purple and shiny, and it was the Eight Spider Lances, the external soul bone.
—The external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances, was a gift that Ye Qifeng intercepted from Tang San and gave to Meng Yiran, as compensation for her losing the Thousand-Year Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Serpent Soul Ring.
With the appearance of the Eight Spider Lances, Meng Yiran's soul power fluctuations seemed to undergo some special changes. Her aura suddenly became much colder, and the temperature around her body also dropped significantly.
This coldness is not like the extreme coldness released by the Dragon Spear Martial Soul, but rather describes a fundamental change in temperament, bringing immense mental pressure to people.
The Eight Spider Spears, after all, originated from the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
The Human-Faced Demon Spider, however, is an extremely ferocious and evil soul beast, and the external soul bones it produces are inherently malevolent and ferocious.
As the Eight Spider Lances were released from behind, Meng Yiran's aura was naturally greatly affected, becoming cold, violent, and vicious.
Fortunately, she had the Guiyuan Meditation method of spiritual cultivation taught by Ye Qifeng, and her spiritual power had long been cultivated to be indestructible. She could completely control this violent emotion and maintain a clear consciousness and self-awareness.
"A mutated martial soul? Oh no."
Qin Ming, standing on the sidelines, immediately sensed something was wrong when he saw the eight spider spears emerging from behind Meng Yiran.
Qin Ming didn't know that it was an external soul bone; he only thought it was another form of Meng Yiran's Martial Soul mutation. However, this did not prevent him from feeling a strong sense of threat from it.
Even a Soul Emperor of level 60 or above felt his life was threatened. For Tang San, who was only a Soul Master of level 40 or so, wouldn't it be even more fatal?
"Tang San, be careful."
Without a second thought, Qin Ming immediately shouted a reminder to the players on the field.
However, his reminder came too late.
As an external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances, once used, inherently amplify Meng Yiran's attack power by fifty percent. Furthermore, their sharpness leaves the opponent no chance whatsoever.
Amidst flashes of purple light, eight sharp, purple spider spears, under Meng Yiran's precise control, erupted with a series of explosive sounds, hurtling straight towards Tang San's body.
Then, to Tang San's astonishment, the soul power pierced through his body with lightning speed, directly piercing eight bloody holes in him.
Meng Yiran's top was specially made, with a space reserved for the release of the Eight Spider Lances. Under the protection of her soul power, the clothes would not tear.
Naturally, there won't be any embarrassing scenes like back in the Star Dou Great Forest, where clothes were torn to shreds and clothes were exposed.
Therefore, the sound of tearing silk could not be heard. All that could be heard was the whistling sound of the Eight Spider Lances cutting through the air and the thuds as they pierced Tang San's flesh.
The Eight Spider Lances appeared too quickly and too suddenly.
Tang San was caught off guard and was shocked, but he had no time to react.
As he tried to step on the Ghostly Shadows to retreat away from Meng Yiran, eight bloody holes suddenly appeared on his body: his arms, legs, shoulders, and abdomen. All eight locations were pierced by the Eight Spider Spears.
Tang San's hammer swing came to an abrupt halt, and the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian that he was about to unleash were also interrupted.
Even because his body was suddenly pierced, his soul power was disrupted, so much so that he could not maintain the Haotian Hammer in his hand and it turned into soul light and drilled back into his left palm.
"ah--"
Tang San's body was lifted up by the Eight Spider Lances, his face still filled with disbelief, until the intense pain came and he involuntarily let out a scream.
Tang San belatedly reacted, desperately gathering his Xuan Tian Gong internal energy in an attempt to suppress and repair the injuries caused by the Eight Spider Spears, while simultaneously freeing himself from them.
However, his efforts were ultimately in vain.
The Eight Spider Lances were covered with a faint purple aura, and Tang San's soul power would melt away as quickly as ice and snow as soon as it got close.
That faint purple aura is actually a kind of deadly poison, the poison inherent in the Eight Spider Lances themselves.
The Eight Spider Lances possess the deadly venom of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, far surpassing ordinary toxins. It not only has potent poisoning effects but also the ability to devour.
Even Tang San's Xuan Tian Gong internal energy, which possesses a certain degree of poison resistance, was unable to withstand the deadly poison of the Eight Spider Lances and could only be devoured.
To be precise, the soul power that melted away as quickly as ice and snow just now didn't actually disappear; it was actually absorbed.
Tang San's use of his soul power to neutralize the poison was tantamount to handing over supplies to the wound, thus replenishing the deadly poison and worsening his condition.
An eerie purple light flashed on the Eight Spider Spears. Tang San's Xuan Tian Gong internal energy, which he had been urging with all his might, surged wildly towards the Eight Spider Spears like a vast ocean, and was completely devoured in the blink of an eye.
The purple aura surged forth as if boiling, transforming into purple patterns that spread rapidly like a spider web from the eight blood holes as the center.
Wherever the purple patterns touched, Tang San's skin quickly turned a strange purple, and his muscles visibly swelled up.
Tang San's entire body convulsed violently, and he could no longer stand up.
Or rather, he was unable to stand at all, because his body had been lifted high into the air by Meng Yiran's Eight Spider Spears, and his feet could not touch the ground.
Blood gushed out in a stream, tinged with a deep purple hue, from the eight wounds. Although the wounds were not fatal, Tang San was already severely injured.
Seeing himself defeated in such a humiliating way, Tang San's eyes showed a look of astonishment, which gradually became scattered and dim, until finally despair.
Before the match began, Tang San never thought he would lose, but at this moment, facing Meng Yiran, he had no desire to fight at all.
Eight eerie, deep purple spider legs were firmly embedded in his limbs and body, rendering him unable to move. His soul power was rapidly draining away, being devoured, and turning into nutrients for the deadly poison, accelerating its corrosive effects.
Even if Tang San wanted to fight again, he was already powerless to resist.
At this point, Tang San had completely lost the ability to fight again.
"Tang San (Little Third/Third Brother)."
Seeing Tang San defeated and lifted high by Meng Yiran's Eight Spider Lances, the Shrek Seven Devils watching from the sidelines were shocked and shouted in alarm.
"Stop! Stop it now!"
Yu Xiaogang's heart clenched suddenly, and he quickly jumped out to stop him, shouting that he was admitting defeat.
"Put Tang San down, we admit defeat. The Shrek Seven Devils admit defeat."
Although Yu Xiaogang was a bit of a waste, he still possessed the cultivation of a level 29 Great Soul Master, so his eyesight was not bad.
It was clear that Tang San's body, which had been stabbed, had swelled to twice its original size, and his face was covered in purple hue; he was clearly on the verge of death.
Ignoring the opinions of others, he took it upon himself to declare defeat.
Meng Yiran coldly curled her lip, flicked her spider spears, and tossed Tang San aside. Ignoring Yu Xiaogang, the four spider spears on her spears suddenly pointed forward, their sharp aura aimed directly at the Shrek Academy team members who had not yet appeared on the field.
"Is anyone else going to play?"
Yu Tianheng and Ma Hongjun showed a hint of surprise and anger on their faces, but they showed no intention of going on stage to compete.
Yu Tianheng was somewhat tempted and had an urge to go on stage and compete against Meng Yiran, but unfortunately he was not on the roster for this battle and was not eligible to play.
Ma Hongjun simply chickened out.
Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai had already been defeated, and now even Tang San had been defeated, and defeated so miserably at that.
If he, a lowly Soul Venerable who hasn't even reached level 40 Soul Master, were to go up there, wouldn't he just be offering himself up as food?
Fortunately, he wasn't on the roster, so he didn't have to go on the field and get beaten up.
At this moment, Ma Hongjun suddenly felt extremely fortunate and grateful. He thanked Yu Xiaogang for looking down on the Beast Academy and ignoring his strong request to fight, excluding him from the battle list so that he wouldn't have to go up and get beaten up like Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and Tang San.
The pressure fell on the four substitute players.
The four substitutes looked at each other, none of them willing to step forward and take Tang San's place in the match.
Anyway, they're just there to make up the numbers; they're not actually going to play in the competition. Shrek doesn't treat them like family.
Besides, facing a formidable opponent like Meng Yiran, only a fool would want to go up and get beaten up.
The match ended in an awkward silence.

"Uncle Jian, if I'm not mistaken, that should be an external soul bone, right?"
On the VIP platform on the north side of the training ground, Ning Fengzhi moved his lips and secretly activated his soul power to send a telepathic message to Sword Douluo, who was sitting in a seat slightly behind.
Sword Douluo's eyes flashed with sword light, and he nodded slightly, echoing:
"Yes, Feng Zhi, you're not mistaken, that's an external soul bone."
"Judging from the shape of that soul bone, it must have fallen from some kind of spider-like soul beast."
Ning Fengzhi's thoughts raced through his mind as he retrieved the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's information on external soul bones and compared it with the Eight Spider Lances behind Meng Yiran. He quickly arrived at his answer:
"Human-faced Demon Spider"
"That external soul bone should have been born from an evil soul beast called the Human-Faced Demon Spider, and the Human-Faced Demon Spider's soul ring is perfectly compatible with the Serpent Staff Martial Soul."
"Hehe, I didn't expect this little girl from the Dragon Serpent Palace of the Barak Kingdom to be so lucky as to obtain such a rare item as an external soul bone."
At this point, Ning Fengzhi paused, his tone shifting slightly:
"You should know that external soul bones are the most special and rarest of all soul bones. They are a special existence outside of the six major types of soul bones."
"Its birth was extremely difficult."
"If the probability of an ordinary soul bone being born from a soul beast is one in a thousand, then the probability of an external soul bone being born is less than one in ten thousand."
"In addition, external soul bones do not fall naturally like ordinary soul bones. Instead, they must first absorb the soul ring of the soul beast that dropped the soul bone. The soul bone is absorbed along with the soul ring. Only after the soul ring is absorbed and the soul bone manifests itself can we know the exact birth of the external soul bone."
"This is why external soul bones are so rare."
As he got more excited, Ning Fengzhi raised an eyebrow slightly, and then continued:
"In the world of Soul Masters, external Soul Bones are priceless. Their rarity is almost comparable to that of 100,000-year Soul Rings and Soul Bones. They are something that every Soul Master dreams of."
"Most importantly, external soul bones have their own unique characteristics, namely that they can evolve as their owner's soul power increases."
"Therefore, the earlier you absorb the external soul bone, the better."
As he finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and his originally gentle tone suddenly revealed a hint of ruthlessness:
"Uncle Jian, is it possible to find a way to get your hands on it?"
Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo frowned slightly, immediately realizing that Ning Fengzhi had already harbored covetous intentions.
Ning Fengzhi knew that Sword Douluo was a rather upright person and would disdain doing such a thing as killing and taking bones. Before Sword Douluo could reply, he immediately added:
"Rongrong doesn't have a soul bone yet. If she could have an external soul bone as a trump card, then she would have a certain ability to protect herself."
Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo couldn't help but feel somewhat tempted.
If you ask him to kill and steal treasure for no reason, he will naturally be unwilling.
Of course, if Ning Fengzhi insists, he might still obey orders in the end, but he would feel somewhat resentful.
But if it's for his precious granddaughter Ning Rongrong, then he has no problem.
As long as it benefits Ning Rongrong, what does it matter if he transforms into a demon or becomes a villain?
Before that, Sword Douluo carefully examined the Eight Spider Lances on Meng Yiran's back and used his mental power to probe them back and forth several times.
A moment later, Sword Douluo seemed to realize something and slowly shook his head at Ning Fengzhi:
"Feng Zhi, it's probably too late."
"That soul bone has completely fused with that little girl's body. Even if we snatch it, it's pointless. Rongrong can't absorb it."
"What?! They've already merged into one?!"
Ning Fengzhi was taken aback at first, then his face filled with disappointment, and he sighed deeply:
"That's a real shame. Sigh."
Besides growing stronger with its master, external soul bones also possess another unique characteristic.
That is, once fully integrated, it cannot be obtained by others.
It would be a lie to say that Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo weren't disappointed.
However, since Meng Yiran's soul bone has been completely integrated with her own, it cannot be taken away.
The two of them naturally stopped talking about killing and taking bones.
Pretend this matter was never mentioned.
Meng Yiran had no idea that the two men had once coveted her Eight Spider Spears.
Fortunately, she had cultivated diligently over the past two years and had already fully mastered the Eight Spider Lances, thus escaping a calamity.
