Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 20 Human-Faced Demon Spider's External Soul Bone

Lin Yizhang knew that he couldn't defeat this thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider by relying solely on the two amplification soul skills of his main martial soul.

With only level 26 soul power, it would be better to finish the battle quickly, so he also summoned the Demon Blade Thousand Blades.

Seeing that Lin Yizhang had summoned a new martial soul, both martial souls appeared at the same time.

Dugu Yan stared wide-eyed and opened her mouth wide, looking as if she had seen a ghost.

Lin Yizhang directly unleashed the domain skill inherent to the Demon Blade Thousand Blades—Thousand Blade Domain.

As soon as the domain was activated, Lin Yizhang immediately felt that all his attributes had increased by 15%.

At the same time, the human-faced spider's movements suddenly stopped.

Clearly, it was suddenly suppressed by the domain, and the Human-Faced Demon Spider had 10% of its attributes suppressed.

Lin Yizhang then used the two soul skills of his original martial soul.

"First Soul Skill, Vajra Transformation"

"Second Soul Skill, Tyrannosaurus Transformation".

After the second soul ring was added, the Vajra Transformation's all attributes increased by 5%, now reaching an increase of 20%.

Tyrannosaurus Transformation increases all attributes by 25%.

With all the increases added together, Lin Yizhang's base attributes at level 25 Soul Power have now increased by 60% across the board.

With the Human-Faced Demon Spider's attributes weakened by 10%, Lin Yizhang felt that he could now fight against a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

Of course, at this moment, Lin Yizhang's strength was still far from being able to contend with a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

That was just an illusion caused by a sudden surge in strength.

After sensing the power at that moment, Lin Yizhang unleashed the Thousand Blades Return to One technique.

Wielding the Demon Blade Thousand Blades, he charged towards the Human-Faced Demon Spider and engaged it in fierce combat.

Lin Yizhang couldn't help but marvel at how agile the human-faced spider was; it dodged several times when he was about to strike it.

After exchanging blows for a while, Lin Yizhang gradually adapted to the power he was now wielding.

Having never had the chance to fight with my full strength before, I felt incredibly excited at this moment, like I had finally found a whetstone.

Facing the Human-Faced Demon Spider as a whetstone, Lin Yizhang's attacks became increasingly fierce.

The blade formed by the convergence of a thousand blades collided with the spider legs of the human-faced demon spider, constantly producing a piercing metallic scraping sound.

Sensing a threat to its life, the human-faced spider retreated immediately.

Raising its abdomen, a spider web rapidly materialized from the human face on its belly and shot towards Lin Yizhang.

As soon as it sprays out one web, it immediately condenses into a second one and continues to spray out.

Then it quickly swung its eight spider legs and charged towards Lin Yizhang.

Lin Yizhang had long been prepared for this move.

Knowing that the spider web contained a deadly poison, they immediately moved to the side to avoid it.

Just as you dodge the first spider web, the second one comes right after.

Clearly, the human-faced spider had anticipated how Lin Yizhang would dodge the first spider web.

As the human-faced demon spider retreated to spit out its web, Lin Yizhang began to condense a Rasengan in his left palm.

Seeing the second spider web coming towards him, he knew there was no way to escape.

He simply threw the Rasengan, successfully destroying the spider web.

The human-faced spider discovered that neither of its two webs had managed to trap the human in front of it.

It frantically swung its eight spider legs and attacked Lin Yizhang.

Seeing that the human-faced spider did not spit out a third web, Lin Yizhang guessed that it was probably planning to use it as cover for its escape.

He immediately shouted, "Yanyan, when it spits out the third spider web, you must be careful to stop it from escaping."

He immediately resumed fighting the human-faced spider. Lin Yizhang became more and more excited and stronger with each battle.

The human-faced spider grew weaker with each battle, and its eight spider legs were almost severed.

As Lin Yizhang sensed the attack from the human-faced spider gradually weakening, he understood that it was because its spider legs were severely injured.

The significant decrease in its movement speed made us even more wary of it spitting out nets.

As expected, the human-faced spider realized it was no match for the humans before it and tried to escape.

It suddenly lunged at Lin Yizhang with its four spider legs, forcing him back. Then, it used its web-spitting ability one last time to spray the web at Lin Yizhang. After spitting the web, it immediately turned and ran away.

At that moment, a Rasengan suddenly slammed towards the human-faced spider, clearly indicating that Dugu Yan had been prepared.

The human-faced spider hadn't run far before it was blasted back. After dodging the spider web, Lin Yizhang attacked the human-faced spider that had been blasted back, breaking two of its eight legs on each side.

Then he shouted, "Yan Yan, I've crippled four of its spider legs, and I've also severely damaged the remaining four. Now it doesn't have much fighting power left, so I'll leave the rest to you."

Dugu Yan quickly rushed into the battlefield, while Lin Yizhang withdrew from the combat zone.

Lin Yizhang checked himself and found that he had not been injured. He had just consumed a lot of soul power and physical strength and was now a little exhausted.

Watching Dugu Yan fight the Man-Faced Demon Spider to a standstill, Lin Yizhang thought to himself, "It seems that Yan Yan is using the Man-Faced Demon Spider to hone her combat skills."

Another quarter of an hour passed, and the human-faced spider was finally mocked to death by Dugu Yan.

Lin Yizhang walked over and looked at the purple soul ring rising from the corpse of the human-faced demon spider. Lin Yizhang sighed inwardly, thinking how difficult it was to hunt such a top predator.

But thinking about the Dragon Lord in the anime, who is already a Contra, hunting a human-faced demon spider that is about two thousand years old.

In the end, the human-faced spider managed to escape, and Lin Yizhang felt relieved.

At this moment, Dugu Bo also came out and said, "You all performed very well."

Dugu Yan asked breathlessly, "Yi Zhang, you have two martial souls?"

"Yes, I was planning to tell you when I got to your house that day."

But it wasn't the right time to say this, and there wasn't a suitable opportunity later, so I never told you.

Actually, there's something else I need to tell you. I'm only nine and a half years old right now.

"What? You're still a little kid under ten years old?" Dugu Yan exclaimed in shock.

Lin Yizhang, his face darkening, said, "Who's a little kid? I'm not a little kid anymore."

Dugu Yan rolled her eyes and stepped forward with a disbelieving look to test Lin Yizhang's age.

She believed it, and said, "You really are a monster."

After speaking, Dugu Yan sat down cross-legged to recover her soul power, and then began to absorb the soul ring.

Dugu Yan seemed to be having a hard time absorbing the spirit ring, clearly indicating that the spirit ring from this human-faced demon spider had reached the limit of what she could absorb.

There was even a faint blood mist appearing on her body, but her aura was still relatively stable, otherwise Dugu Bo would have interrupted her absorption.

Looking at Dugu Yan's current state, Lin Yizhang realized that the soul power of the Human-Faced Demon Spider's soul ring was extremely violent.

Fortunately, there was no time limit for absorbing a spirit ring across different years, otherwise the chance of failing to absorb a spirit ring would be extremely high.

Three hours have passed since the absorption of the spirit ring began.

Seeing that Dugu Yan's expression was no longer pained, Lin Yizhang and Dugu Bo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Both of them were sweating from their previous anxiety.

As the spirit rings slowly disappeared, the injuries on Dugu Yan's body caused by absorbing the spirit rings were gradually repaired.

Under the modification of the soul ring energy, his body also underwent further development.

She grew to about 1.75 meters tall, and her body curves became even more alluring.

After a while, Dugu Yan finally succeeded in absorbing the soul ring.

She stood up and was about to walk towards the two of them when suddenly something unexpected happened.

"Ah~" Dugu Yan suddenly let out a scream, her brows furrowed abruptly, and her body convulsed.

His whole body was hunched over, and his face was contorted in pain.

The instant Dugu Yan screamed, Lin Yizhang quickly shouted, "Grandpa, don't interfere! This is a sign that an external soul bone is about to appear!"

Fortunately, Lin Yizhang reminded him in time, otherwise Dugu Bo would have taken action directly.

It's possible that the energy condensed into the external soul bone will be directly forced out of Dugu Yan's body by Dugu Bo.

After hearing the reminder, Dugu Bo did not immediately intervene, but simply observed the changes in Dugu Yan's body.

Suddenly, with the sound of tearing brocade, the clothes on Dugu Yan's back were torn apart instantly.

His shirt fell off, and on his hunched back, four fist-sized bulges appeared on each side of his spine.

Immediately afterwards, the eight protrusions suddenly burst open, and eight deep purple spider legs grew out from them.

The spider's legs were over two meters long, nearly three meters long, and they directly lifted Dugu Yan up.

Dugu Yan's martial spirit was also released involuntarily, and her soul power condensed into a large cocoon to wrap around it.

The sound of bones cracking and popping constantly emanated from within the large cocoon, and the eight spider legs were incessantly pulsating.

Lin Yizhang and Dugu Bo kept a close eye on the cocoon as darkness fell.

Several hours had passed before we knew it.

"Yan Yan's breathing is steady, so she should be out of danger."

"It looks like Yanyan won't be able to come out of her cocoon anytime soon. Grandpa, let's sit down and wait for Yanyan," Lin Yizhang said.

The two waited until noon the next day, when the cocoon finally showed signs of movement.

Both of them noticed that the large cocoon slowly disappeared, and Dugu Yan's body suddenly appeared in front of them.

Dugu Bo quickly turned Lin Yizhang around.

At the same time, with his back to Dugu Yan, he said, "Yan Yan, quickly put your clothes on."

Lin Yizhang only caught a glimpse of it before Dugu Bo turned away abruptly.

But the scene he had just witnessed kept replaying in his mind.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a scene; even Ye Lingling had never seen one before.

Dugu Yan finally realized what was happening, but she said helplessly, "Grandpa, I have eight spider legs on my body, what should I do if I can't wear clothes?"

Dugu Bo said, "Yanyan, use your mind to slowly control the spider legs and retract them into your body."

After a rustling sound, Dugu Yan's voice finally came: "Grandpa, I'm all better."
