Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 257 External Soul Bone

"It's nothing... I twisted my thigh yesterday," Tang San said, forcing himself to endure the pain.

but……

Xiao Wu suddenly looked at him strangely and said, "Brother, why does your voice sound higher?"

"No way..." Tang San was startled, then immediately said in a deep voice.

His deep voice seemed to have no problem, just as powerful as Tang San's usual voice.

"It seems like... maybe I misheard." Xiao Wu said immediately upon hearing his voice.

"That's right, you misheard." Tang San breathed a sigh of relief again, then said, "Alright, Xiao Wu, you can come down now."

"Alright, brother, take good care of your injuries." Xiao Wu no longer suspected anything, but soon she asked Tang San curiously, "Brother...did something happen between you and Ning Feiliu before?"

"Ning Feiliu?!" Tang San shouted angrily upon hearing the name.

But his voice suddenly became shrill, as if... it had turned into a girl's voice.

Actually, at the age of twelve, if a boy's voice hasn't changed yet, it does sound somewhat like a girl's.

But Tang San's voice wasn't this sharp before, which made Xiao Wu a little suspicious again.

Tang San seemed to realize his loss of composure and said again in a deep voice, "I do have some grudges against him... and this man is already courting death. I will kill him sooner or later."

Although he was now concealing his voice, he made no attempt to hide his murderous intent towards Ning Feiliu.

After all, Ning Feiliu caused him to lose that guy, and he might never be able to be a normal man again in this lifetime. How could he possibly tolerate that!

Even Ning Feiliu felt it was normal for Tang San to want to kill him because of this, since very few men could endure such humiliation.

Although Tang San brought this upon himself, one can understand his hatred for himself.

However, while she understood, Ning Feiliu wouldn't just sit idly by and wait for her fate.

Tang San has no chance of killing him!

"Brother... what exactly happened?" Xiao Wu became even more curious.

Because she rarely saw Tang San so angry and out of control. Even when she was injured by Zhao Wuji last time, she was far less angry than she is now.

Moreover, Ning Feiliu is far stronger than Zhao Wuji. Given Tang San's personality, he would not have such obvious and intense killing intent towards a powerful figure who is now clearly much stronger than him.

So she was naturally very curious as to why her usually "good-natured" and mature third brother was so angry with Ning Feiliu.

What exactly happened?

However, Tang San would never say that he was severely injured by Ning Feiliu's soul skill because he wanted to "borrow" Ning Feiliu's Steel Sun Box pendant, which resulted in him becoming a dead eunuch who was neither male nor female, neither human nor demon.

"How could he treat the teachers and you, Xiao Wu, like this? He's courting death!" That was all he could say. "Teacher Zhao didn't do anything wrong, yet he treated her like this! And Dean Flander, he and the teacher were inseparable friends, and he's also my teacher. How can I, as his student, endure such humiliation!"

But Xiao Wu still found it strange. Yesterday, Tang San didn't react so strongly to the humiliation of Zhao Wuji and Flander.

Why are you suddenly so angry today? And why are you determined to kill Ning Feiliu sooner or later?

In short, Xiao Wu couldn't quite understand it.

"Alright, Xiao Wu, I'm going to wash up now. See you later." Tang San changed the subject.

Xiao Wu could only nod and say, "Okay... Brother, see you later."

However, she was still full of questions, and she decided in her heart that she must find out what happened between Tang San and Ning Feiliu.

After Xiao Wu left, Tang San breathed a sigh of relief and was about to take his toiletries to wash up.

But just then...

"Hey, Tang San, why didn't you go back to the dorm last night?" Oscar's voice appeared before Tang San, accompanied by his handsome face.

Despite what happened yesterday, he was also moved by Ning Rongrong's bravery, responsibility, kindness, and strength.

But Shrek Academy has always been his home, so he still intends to keep yesterday's events to himself.

only……

One day, he will definitely go back to Ning Rongrong and resolve the conflict between her brother and the academy.

And of course...

He pursued Ning Rongrong and wanted her to become his wife.

But life still goes on as normal, except he has sped up his cultivation.

However, what he didn't know was that Tang San's heart skipped a beat when he looked at his handsome face.

"No...it's nothing." He quickly pretended to wet a towel and wash his face, and said.

"By the way, it seems neither you nor Xiao Wu came back yesterday." But at this moment, Oscar chuckled, came up and hooked his arm around Tang San's neck, saying in a slightly teasing tone.

On the first day of school, he naturally noticed the unusual relationship between Tang San and Xiao Wu.

So naturally, he connected this incident to the fact that the two of them hadn't returned home all night, but he was just teasing his roommate Tang San.

However, he didn't know that his action made Tang San's heart beat faster.

He slapped Oscar's hand away and said, "No way... Don't overthink it, Xiao Wu and I aren't in that kind of relationship..."

Oscar, however, thought Tang San had been hit by his joke, which was why he was so flustered. He laughed and said, "What... I think that's exactly it..."

……

Ning Feiliu, on the other hand, naturally got up very early in the morning.

He couldn't help but chuckle to himself whenever he thought about what happened last night.

So of course, I couldn't sleep for the rest of the time.

However, Ning Mingrui and Ning Rongrong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when they saw him suddenly grinning like an idiot while eating breakfast early in the morning.

Ning Rongrong hesitated, but she didn't dare ask Ning Feiliu what had happened.

It made him laugh so happily.

Ning Mingrui, however, had no such reservations. He looked at Ning Feiliu with a strange expression and said, "Feiliu, what's so funny? You've been laughing the whole time?"

"It's nothing... cough cough... hahahaha." Ning Feiliu wanted to be serious, but she couldn't help but laugh.

To be honest, although he had aimed to use Tongbi's first soul skill on Tang San last night, he really didn't know how Tang San was doing.

This is naturally a very tragic thing.

So it's unclear whether Tang San is the former or the latter. If he is the former, at least Xiao Wu can enjoy the rest of the story.

If it's the latter, then Xiao Wu will be in real trouble.

Of course, once you become a god, it will probably grow back.

Tang Wutong and Tang Wulin will likely suffer a lot in the future, provided that Tang San doesn't go against Ning Feiliu.

However, it's probably unlikely; the Tang family will eventually disappear.

Ning Feiliu didn't think she would lose to Tang San in the end.

However, what Ning Mingrui and Ning Rongrong were most curious about was why Ning Feiliu was smiling so happily.

"What's so funny about Fei Liu..." Ning Mingrui suddenly became gossipy and said.

"Haha, it's nothing. Just yesterday, while I was cultivating, a bird flew over and tried to snatch my soul tool. I just..." Ning Feiliu chuckled, then said to Ning Mingrui with a teasing expression, "I took its bird off too, and even took off the little bird's little bird, hahaha!"

"This... hahahaha..." Ning Mingrui suddenly found it a bit funny and started laughing.

Boys often have a strange tacit understanding about these kinds of dirty jokes; they just find them quite funny.

Ning Rongrong was a little confused, but seeing her two older brothers laughing, she also chuckled to herself.

Ning Feiliu merely glanced at her without saying anything more.

After breakfast, they set off again into the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a spirit ring for Ning Rongrong.

When the topic came up again on the way, Ning Feiliu and Ning Mingrui couldn't stop laughing.

Ning Feiliu, in particular, knew best which bird had at least removed its magazine.

But they didn't forget their main task: to obtain Ning Rongrong's third spirit ring.

Ning Rongrong's third spirit ring was quite simple; it only needed to be a spirit ring that lasted for about a thousand years.

With her talent, absorbing a spirit ring should be no problem at all.

The only thing to do is to find a suitable thousand-year-old soul beast.

And coincidentally... two days after they entered the Star Dou Great Forest, they discovered a Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent that was about a thousand years old.

There was a huge crested serpent, about six or seven meters long, with a bright red crest on its head. It looked somewhat ferocious, and based on its characteristics, it was probably a crested serpent that was a little over a thousand years old.

"This Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent is perfect for Rongrong's third spirit ring," Ning Mingrui said to Ning Feiliu, his eyes lighting up.

However, Ning Feiliu's eyes turned somewhat strange.

When he saw the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, he suddenly remembered something. Could this Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent be the same soul beast that Oscar had in the original story?

But don't get me wrong, he doesn't think that this is the crested snake that originally belonged to Oscar and must be left to the crested snake.

Originally, spirit beasts were meant to be hunted by whoever had the ability. In the original story, they belonged to Oscar, but since they weren't his pets, there was no need to give them to him.

Ning Feiliu simply connected the dots... to the original storyline, where there might be another thousand-year-old soul beast in this timeline...

It's very appealing.

That's right, it was the thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider that Tang San accidentally killed in the original storyline, which then produced an extremely rare Eight Spider Lances for him.

He didn't really like the Eight Spider Lances, but at least it was an external soul bone that didn't take up an "equipment slot".

Moreover, he has already incurred Tang San's wrath. As I said before, it's better for him to intercept it than to leave it to Tang San.

However, the key is finding that special thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider...

Tang San also stumbled upon the extremely rare external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances, because he was eager to save Xiao Wu, who had been "kidnapped" by the Titan Giant Ape. He unexpectedly encountered a human-faced demon spider and cruelly killed it.

In reality, the human-faced demon spider was quite special, but the key to its ability to produce the external soul bone Eight Spider Lances lay in Tang San's brutal killing of it.

Ning Feiliu vaguely remembered that there was a theory in the original plot that as long as a soul beast was filled with hatred before it died, the probability of producing a soul bone would increase.

Tang San vented all his hatred on the thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider, which is how he obtained the rare soul bone, the human-faced demon spider.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu will probably have to go through this process as well.

But before that, let's find that thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider.

Although the Star Dou Great Forest is quite vast, there should be more than just one or two Thousand-Year-Old Human-Faced Demon Spiders on the outer perimeter.

Therefore, it may be difficult to find.

But Ning Feiliu believes that... in order to intercept Tang San's soul bone ahead of time, he could actually be a little more ruthless.

That is……

Slaughter and kill the thousand-year-old human-faced demon spiders on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest one by one!

Anyway, according to Tang San and Xiao Wu's theory in the original story, such evil soul beasts should be killed... right?

Ning Feiliu naturally wouldn't feel any burden.

Although it's a bit wasteful to keep killing soul beasts for the sake of soul bones, so be it.

It's better than leaving the soul bone to Tang San for the sake of "environmental protection".

And he can also... harvest the soul fragments of "Dark Harvest".

After helping Ning Rongrong obtain the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent's spirit ring, Ning Feiliu said to Ning Mingrui and Ning Rongrong, "Big brother, I still need to collect the venom of many face spiders, so I need to hunt down many face spiders next."

He didn't explicitly say he was going to obtain the Soul Bone, but instead used the excuse of collecting the venom of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

Before this, Ning Feiliu was, after all, a disciple of Dugu Bo, and had researched many medicines and miraculous elixirs such as Xuan Shui Dan, so Ning Rongrong and Ning Mingrui did not find it strange.

"In that case, we'll go with you," Ning Mingrui said after thinking for a moment.

Ning Rongrong has now had her personality successfully corrected by Ning Feiliu, so naturally she has no objections.

Ning Feiliu smiled and nodded. Then Ning Mingrui and Ning Rongrong followed him, watching him hunt down the human-faced spiders in the Star Dou Great Forest and collect their "venom".

However... every time Ning Feiliu hunts a human-faced demon spider, it always seems a bit too brutal.

Not only will it completely smash the human face on the back of the human-faced spider's abdomen, but it will also tear off all its spider legs and rip open its belly.

When the thirteenth human-faced spider, filled with fear, pain, and hatred, died at Ning Feiliu's hands, finally... a bluish-purple hue appeared inside its body.

"This is..." Ning Mingrui stared at the bright color for a moment, stunned.

Ning Feiliu smiled and said, "Finally, I found it."
