Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul is actually Bibi Dong.

Chapter 44 Eight Spider Lances

In the Starry Sky Forest, a figure wielding a gun could be seen fleeing, pursued relentlessly by a human-faced demon spider taller than him.

The human-faced spider was significantly faster than Su Mo, who could only use trees to create obstacles.

Puff puff--

As a result, many trees that tried to block the human-faced spider's path were cut down by its sharp spider legs.

When he felt he had enough, Su Mo slowed down and deliberately pretended to be exhausted, revealing a weakness to the human-faced demon spider behind him.

After discovering that its prey was exhausted, the human-faced spider began to cackle excitedly. Finally, it found that Su Mo had run to an open space with no obstacles. With a push of its legs, the human-faced spider pounced on Su Mo.

Su Mo never turned his head back, giving the Spider-Faced Demon the illusion that Su Mo couldn't see it.

"The moment you raise your scythe and approach me, you've already entered my harvesting range!"

Su Mo waited for the human-faced spider to get closer, so that its attack would be the perfect opportunity for him to counterattack.

"The Overlord Turns Back!"

boom--

Seemingly without warning, without turning around, Su Mo suddenly thrust the Soul-Hunting Spear from under his left armpit, aiming straight for the eye on the lower abdomen of the human-faced demon spider behind him.

The move has a powerful name, but it's really just a counterattack!

Su Mo didn't even use his soul rings or soul skills, as the soul power fluctuations generated by using soul rings and soul skills would easily alert the human-faced demon spider.

After thrusting halfway out, Su Mo turned around to make his way back as the movement required.

laugh--

At this very moment, Su Mo's Soul-Hunting Spear was incredibly close to the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

"Jie—"

It wasn't until the moment of life and death that the human-faced spider realized what was happening, but it was too late to dodge.

puff--

Su Mo's Soul-Hunting Spear pierced deep into one of the eyes on the lower abdomen of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, breaking through the protective membrane on the eye and penetrating it further.

In the original novel, Tang San's Zhuge Crossbow could penetrate it, so Su Mo's Soul-Hunting Spear, which combines soul weapons, was naturally no problem.

The real difficulty lies in striking the opponent.

"squeak--"

The massive body of the human-faced spider trembled, shook violently a few times, and then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"call--"

Seeing that he had killed the human-faced spider, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

If he didn't rely on his intelligence, he would have had a hard time defeating this human-faced spider. Not only was it fast, but its eight spider legs also attacked at a high frequency. In a head-on battle, he could only parry.

hum-

Then, a purple thousand-year soul ring appeared on the head of the human-faced demon spider.

"What a pity, you're not level 30 yet, otherwise the Human-Faced Demon Spider's spirit ring would be considered a very high-quality spirit ring!"

Bibi Dong said something with a hint of regret when she saw the spirit ring dropped by the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

"The spirit rings of the Human-Faced Demon Spider are not suitable for my Soul-Hunting Spear!"

Su Mo didn't feel it was a pity. Absorbing the human-faced demon spider's soul ring might increase the poison attack of his Soul Hunter Spear, but increasing the poison was not what Su Mo wanted.

His Soul-Hunting Spear pursues absolute destructive power.

While speaking, Su Mo was also observing the corpse of the human-faced demon spider, trying to see if the external soul bone had been dropped.

Su Mo risked his life to help Tang San, wasn't it all for the sake of acquiring an external soul bone?

As for not being able to absorb soul bones without absorbing soul rings... Su Mo said that was fine.

Bibi Dong had told her the truth: under normal circumstances, external soul bones are indeed absorbed into the soul master's body along with the soul ring.

The idea that one must first absorb a spirit ring to absorb an external spirit bone spread because of this.

However, if you don't absorb a spirit ring, your external spirit bone will still be dropped, just like other spirit bones.

Since it's going to explode, it can definitely be absorbed!

Otherwise, why wouldn't those soul masters who obtained external soul bones dare to show them off when they were weak? It's because they were afraid that the strong would snatch them away!

If something can be stolen, it proves that whoever gets it doesn't need to absorb the spirit ring along with it.

In the original novel, Poison Douluo once tried to steal Tang San's Eight Spider Lances.

They only stopped fighting after discovering that Tang San and the Eight Spider Lances had completely merged.

Because once fully integrated, killing the owner of the external soul bone will no longer cause it to drop.

"Huh, what's going on?"

Sure enough, Su Mo quickly noticed the anomaly on the human-faced demon spider's corpse: soul power flowed on its eight spider legs, emitting a faint purple light.

"This is... an external soul bone!"

"It's actually an external soul bone!"

Upon hearing Su Mo's voice, Bibi Dong looked over and exclaimed in surprise.

"Could this be Tang San's Eight Spider Lances?"

Bibi Dong was secretly thrilled.

She knew Su Mo had entered the Star Dou Great Forest, but she hadn't paid attention to what happened afterward. So when Su Mo was escaping, she asked him why he was all alone with someone else.

Therefore, Bibi Dong knew that Su Mo helped Tang San get entangled by this human-faced demon spider.

Upon seeing the external soul bone Eight Spider Lances before her, Bibi Dong could easily deduce that if Su Mo hadn't joined Shrek Academy and hadn't helped Tang San hold off the Man-Faced Demon Spider, then Tang San would have killed the Man-Faced Demon Spider himself, thus obtaining Tang San's external soul bone Eight Spider Lances.

There are no other possibilities, and external soul bones are not so easy to obtain.

"Great, wonderful! Su Mo, you did a fantastic job!"

After realizing what was happening, Bibi Dong couldn't help but excitedly praise Su Mo.

This is a treasure that was snatched from Tang San's hands! It's an external soul bone that's comparable to a 100,000-year soul ring!

"Quickly, absorb this soul bone! This is an extremely precious external soul bone!"

Bibi Dong then urged Su Mo to absorb the Eight Spider Lances, lest things get complicated and the spears eventually return to Tang San's hands.

"Um!"

Su Mo didn't waste any time. He sat cross-legged on the ground and reached out to touch the spider leg of the human-faced demon spider.

hum-

As Su Mo touched it, the corpse of the human-faced demon spider suddenly lit up, especially its eight legs. Finally, the bones on the eight legs floated out and shrunk into a small eight-spear-shaped object that crashed into Su Mo's body.

Absorbing a soul bone is similar to absorbing a soul ring, so Su Mo immediately began to refine it seriously.

Two thousand years of soul bones are something Su Mo can easily bear now.

Puff puff--

After half an hour of refining, the Eight Spider Spears were completely absorbed and refined by Su Mo. Spider legs extended out from Su Mo's back and finally lined up neatly behind him.

Su Mo tried operating it and found it very easy to use, as if it were his own arm, with no difficulty whatsoever.

There was no loss of control like Tang San's.

This is probably because Su Mo directly absorbed the Eight Spider Lances, while Tang San only absorbed the spirit ring and was unaware that he had also absorbed the external spirit bone, the Eight Spider Lances, so he did not fully refine it.

"My soul power level..."

Then, Su Mo also discovered that his soul power level had increased.
