Chapter 287 Third Soul Skill: Bending and Stretching Love, External Soul Bone: Thunder God Spear (Seeking monthly votes)

"Master...Master?! Waaaaaaahh ...

Wu Li, who had been watching all this intently, watched helplessly as the Tang Snake exploded into charred remains after a muffled thud, and then fell completely still.

The fervor and anticipation on his face froze instantly, then turned into extreme terror and sorrow. He collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.

"Master...how could you...how could you do this...Waaaaah..."

He pounded the ground, as if he had lost the most important pillar in his life.

But as he cried, a mysterious thought quietly crept into his mind.

"Master...Master...it...it's just going to die like this? Perhaps...perhaps while it's still hot..."

Once the thought arises, it can never be stopped.

He swallowed hard, his heart pounding, and crept stealthily toward the charred snake carcass. Just before Wu Li's fingers were about to touch the charred body...

Click! ! !

A clap of thunder awakened the insects, bursting forth suddenly from within that charcoal-black body!
Immediately afterward, to Wu Li's astonishment, a tiny crack quietly appeared on the surface of the charred body, and a vibrant green sprout full of life and vitality burst out from the crack and grew rapidly in the wind!
Crackling——!
The charred outer shell peeled off and crumbled like rotten plaster, revealing a brand new body beneath, flowing with rich life radiance and a faint silvery-white halo!

This newborn body is more slender and streamlined than before, with lines full of power, exuding a sacred and powerful aura of rebirth after experiencing the baptism of death!

"hiss--!!!"

A roar filled with the joy of new life and boundless power, like the thunder of spring, fiercely tore through the silence of the cave and soared into the sky!

Tang She, reborn from the ashes of death, completed a cycle of life, and her soul power soared all the way to an unprecedented peak of strength!
In its newly formed golden vertical pupils, a fleeting phantom of reincarnation seemed to flash by, filled with indifference and insight into the laws of life and death.

The reborn Tang Snake slowly opened its snake eyes, which seemed to contain a pool of lightning. The eyes were no longer simply gold, but flowed with a faint blue lightning.

As his gaze swept across the scene, tiny arcs of electricity crackled and popped in the air, like a god who wielded the laws of thunder descending upon the world, exuding an aura of power without anger!
It slightly twisted its snake body, which seemed to have been reborn, and felt the surging soul power within its body, which was several times stronger than before. A sense of power that was almost tangible filled every scale that shimmered with silver-green luster.

However, it soon noticed the subtle changes in its own shape.

Its limbs, which were once quite distinct after evolution, have now become shorter and more compact, almost degenerating into appendages, making it look more like a pure and elegant long snake. Only its short claws prove that it is no ordinary snake.

After a brief period of adjustment, Tang Snake tried to concentrate and recall the reincarnation mark that had saved its life at the critical moment, the mysterious pattern containing the supreme law of reincarnation.

However, no matter how far its astonishing wisdom could be traced, the existence of that mark remained as vague as a mirage, as if shrouded in an invisible mist, leaving only a mysterious and elusive feeling lingering in the depths of the soul.

"hiss……"

It suppressed the pounding in its heart, and a hint of understanding and pride flashed in its golden vertical pupils—this must be the supreme inheritance left deep in its bloodline by the previous God-King!

It can only be triggered in a true life-or-death crisis, and it is another solid guarantee for it to embark on the path of the God King!
Immediately afterwards, it calmed its mind and slightly sensed its own soul power level. This sense was so strong that even its mind, which had been tempered by reincarnation, almost couldn't help but want to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate!
"Hiss—!! Level 37! I have actually reached level 37!"

It roared inwardly, its emerald green snake body trembling slightly with extreme excitement.

This is a seven-level upgrade after level 30!
Ordinary elves, even so-called geniuses, would find it extremely difficult to surpass this level without four or five years of dedicated practice and life-or-death experience.

Think about that blue-skinned security guard dog who had been working at Suanmu Farm for ten years; he was only level 32 when he met Mo Zhen!

After level 30, leveling up becomes difficult; most Pokémon in their natural state remain around level 30 throughout their entire lives.

To climb higher after this level, both diligent training and natural talent are indispensable!

Even if Tang She possessed the supreme secret technique of refining soul power, the "Mysterious Heaven Skill," and diligently cultivated it day and night, it would still take at least half a year to push its soul power to such a peak.

Now, a domineering and unparalleled ten-thousand-year soul ring has directly saved this long and arduous process, allowing its strength to soar like it has been given a rocket booster. What an incredible stroke of luck!

Just as it suppressed the overwhelming joy that was about to burst through its skull and sank its mind into that deep, abyss-like black soul ring, wanting to explore the truth of this third soul skill, another change occurred!
"Huh?! Hiss—!!!"

Tang Snake suddenly felt an unbearable swelling and tearing pain in its back, as if something was impatiently trying to break through its flesh and bones and break free!

Before it could even react, *splat! splat! splat!*
Eight muffled thuds, like hard objects piercing leather, suddenly burst forth from both sides of its emerald green, silvery back!
The next second, in Wu Li's stunned gaze, which had gone from grief to shock as if he had witnessed a miracle, eight ferocious bone spears, gleaming with a chilling metallic luster and crackling with violent golden arcs of electricity, pierced through the Tang Snake's body like the legs of a spider, spreading out suddenly with glistening green blood droplets dripping from them!
These eight exoskeletons are about one meter long, with a texture between jade and metal. The joints are covered with black and yellow patterns like the shell of an electric spider. The spearheads are extremely sharp, and wisps of golden electric snakes leap merrily on them, emitting a chilling "sizzling" sound.

They are not inanimate objects, but rather seem to possess life, pulsating slightly with the breathing of the Tang snake, and closely connected to its nerves.

The sudden change caused Tang Snake to feel a moment of panic at first, but its extraordinary wisdom immediately made it realize the extraordinary nature of these eight strange bone spears.

Panic was quickly replaced by a near-manic ecstasy!

"Hehehe... Heaven is helping me! Heaven is truly helping me!!!"

With a slight thought, the eight Thunder Spider Bone Spears moved with the agility of its natural limbs, stabbing, sweeping, and parrying, leaving afterimages and sharp flashes of lightning cutting through the air.

It clearly sensed that these eight bone spears could not only perfectly replace its gradually shortening limbs for high-speed movement—like eight living struts, allowing it to move smoothly on complex terrain and even briefly hover in the air.

It is indestructible and contains terrifying lightning power. With a thought, surging golden lightning can cover it and transform into eight indestructible lightning spears!
What's even more amazing is that they can retract into their bodies at will, disappearing without a trace, and then suddenly launch an attack at the crucial moment, making them an excellent weapon for defeating enemies!
Tang She felt the control over the eight Thunder Spider Bone Spears on his back as if they were his own arms, and the violent lightning power that blended seamlessly with his soul power. His golden vertical pupils flashed with a cold yet excited light.

It suppressed the ecstasy brought by the external soul bone and slowly retracted the eight lightning-infused spider bone spears into its body. The excruciating pain of its torn spine quickly subsided, leaving only a strange sense of fullness as if it had perfectly merged with its bones and flesh.

It took a deep breath, its cold and greedy golden vertical pupils refocused, and its mind sank into the deep, abyss-like, slowly pulsating black ten-thousand-year-old soul ring, beginning to carefully sense the new power it bestowed.

With a slight thought, its soul power surged forth like a floodgate being opened.

Swish swish!
Several silvery-white vines, their shapes drastically changed, burst forth from the ground around it, like dormant thunder serpents awakening.

After absorbing the third spirit ring, the appearance of these silver grasses underwent another astonishing change.

They are no longer just the deep-sea magic grass with its previous entwined azure magic patterns. Although the main body of the vines still retains its silvery-white base color, the surface is covered with a layer of bright and dazzling golden lightning-shaped patterns. These patterns pulsate slightly like living things, emitting heart-palpitating energy fluctuations.

The originally slippery and sticky texture has become dry and elastic. Each vine faintly flows with the violent power of lightning, crackling and popping. Strands of golden electric snakes leap and weave across the surface of the vines. Once they come into contact, they are enough to make the enemy lose control of their nerves instantly and greatly restrict their ability to move.

More importantly, the core characteristics of these transformed silver grasses have acquired the essence of the silk of that ten-thousand-year-old electric spider overlord!
Not only are they incredibly tough, far surpassing even steel, due to the fusion of spider silk fibers and lightning energy, making them difficult to tear with ordinary blades or immense force, but they also possess astonishingly strong adhesiveness.

The tips of the vines secrete a special energy liquid that is colorless and transparent but has a strong adhesive force. It can ignore the material of most objects and easily and firmly adhere to any object!
This new power was realized in the astonishing wisdom of the Tang Snake, whose ferocious snout slowly parted, revealing a smile full of cruelty and triumph.

This is its third soul skill—[Love That Can Stretch and Bend]!
These silver grasses, imbued with the properties of lightning and spider silk, are now like living spider silk with life and will. They can stretch almost infinitely like springs, contracting and relaxing at Tang She's will. Moreover, thanks to their amazing universal adhesiveness, they can freely attach to anything within sight, whether it's a solid foothold or the body of a fast-moving enemy!

Now, Tang Snake can efficiently eject these enhanced silver grass vines from its body, just like the spider-like alien it saw in the illusion of the God King's Secret Realm!
With a thought, a strand of silver grass wrapped in golden lightning patterns shot out with a "whoosh," its end precisely adhering to a stalactite protruding from the cave ceiling dozens of meters away.

Immediately, the vines contracted sharply, making a creaking sound!
The slender, emerald-green body of the Tang Snake was pulled by a tremendous force, instantly leaving the ground as if weightless, tearing through the air, and rapidly moving towards the target point with a smoothness and speed far exceeding the previous [Silver Entanglement - Slingshot Escape Technique]!

In the air, it can even perform high-difficulty maneuvers such as sudden stops, changes of direction, and spiral ascents by finely adjusting the contraction speed and angle of its vines, truly achieving ultra-high-speed displacement in three-dimensional space like Spider-Man!
Having acquired the resilience of spider silk and the properties of lightning paralysis, Tang Snake's control abilities have reached an unprecedented level.

It was confident that even a Soul Emperor-level expert would find it difficult to escape the deadly web of death constructed by the silver grass once trapped in it!
What's more, it also possesses a newly acquired powerful weapon—the external soul bone, Thunder God Spear!

These eight ferocious bone spears, imbued with the thunderous power of the ancient electric spiders, not only provide unparalleled mobility in complex terrains, but are also the ultimate weapons for penetrating defenses.

With a thought, the bone spear burst forth from his body, flashing with lightning, enough to easily pierce through the hardest shell of a soul beast of the same level!
Superior mobility, coupled with an infinite chain of control, and terrifying attack power capable of delivering a single, decisive blow...

Feeling an unprecedented surge of power within himself, Tang She's snake heart, tempered by reincarnation, began to expand uncontrollably.

It perched in the center of the charred crater, its head held high, its golden vertical pupils gleaming with a disdainful light, as if it had already stepped onto the ladder to the throne of a god, becoming a perfect being standing at the pinnacle of all living beings!

An arrogant belief that "I am the only one who matters in the world" grew wildly in its heart.

I am invincible!

Its mindset became completely unbalanced, and it fell into an extremely inflated illusion.

It believed that with its current level 37 soul power, combined with this heaven-defying combination of soul skills and external soul bones, it was already invincible in the world. At least in this United States region, there was no one who could fight it!
That despicable human in the red suit who has haunted my mind like a nightmare—it's time for him to pay the price for everything he's done and bear the wrath of the God King!

It now believes that neither the fat Tang dragon that only knows how to devour and evolve, nor the arrogant blue-skinned Tang dog that relies on speed and Armament Haki, has far surpassed it in strength.

Their petty tricks are utterly insignificant in the face of its perfect power system. It can easily crush them like insects and wipe away its shame!
Just as Tang She was immersed in his invincible fantasy and began to plot how to eliminate Mo Zhen and his henchmen, Wu Li, who had been lying prostrate on the ground, suddenly had his Rotom phone ring out with a piercing and urgent sound, breaking the tense atmosphere in the cave.

Wu Li was startled by the sudden ringtone and frantically pulled out her phone.

He had barely listened to a few words after the call connected when his lips trembled and he began to sob incoherently.

"Wh...what?! My...my sister...she...she got someone pregnant?! And she's at the Pokémon Center in Flying Cloud City right now?!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue, shattering the slight sense of security he had just gained from pledging allegiance to the Lord.

He slumped to the ground, utterly dejected, his eyes vacant, as if the sky had collapsed.

But after only a few seconds of stiffness, he scrambled toward Millerton, who was waiting nearby, and practically used both hands and feet to climb onto Millerton's back, gripping the handles tightly with both hands, and roaring in a sobbing voice.

"Millardton! Hurry! To Flying Cloud City! As fast as you can!!!"

Before the words were even finished, the Millerton's tail thrusters burst forth with a dazzling purplish-red light, accompanied by a deep roar, and transformed into a streak of purple lightning, speeding madly towards the outside of the cave without hesitation.

This sudden turn of events startled Tang Snake slightly. It didn't quite understand what Wu Li meant by "causing a death," but this good-for-nothing and his powerful purple motorcycle lizard were important pieces in its revenge plan. How could it allow him to leave so easily?

Without the slightest hesitation, Tang She's deep black spirit rings flashed almost imperceptibly.

Third Soul Skill: Love That Can Stretch and Bend!

With a thought, a silver grass vine, wrapped with dazzling golden lightning patterns, shot out from its rear end like a living lightning whip!

The vine moved with astonishing speed, drawing a beautiful golden arc in the air before attaching itself precisely to Millerton's streamlined tail armor.

The moment the vines successfully attach, they immediately begin to contract automatically, generating a powerful pulling force.

Using this force, the Tang Snake's emerald green and silvery body seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, gliding away silently at a terrifying speed no less than Millerton's burst speed.

Experiencing the ultimate mobility of the "Flexible Love," Tang She began to fantasize about defeating Mo Zhen and torturing him, and couldn't help but hum softly...
