The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

He made this choice not to show off, but to find out his true strength. This ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider was just the right opponent.

Moreover, with Title Douluo Gong Changlong in charge, there is basically no danger.

He didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

Just then, a voice as gentle as a spring breeze suddenly rang out from the high platform.

"Old Gong, let him give it a try. Weren't we just as young and impetuous back then?"

The newcomer was Yan Shaozhe, dressed in white. He had a gentle smile on his face as he looked at the three people in the arena.

Beside him was a woman in red. The woman had a slender, well-proportioned figure; the first thing that would catch the eye was her slightly exaggerated breasts, high and seemingly about to burst forth…

Her waist was very slender, only widening abruptly at her hips, and her legs were straight and rounded, exuding a strong youthful vibe.

However, her face was not visible; a red veil covered her face, but even from her eyes and eyebrows, one could tell she was an absolute beauty. Her pale pink eyes easily gave off a captivating and alluring feeling. Fortunately, her gaze was cold, which slightly suppressed that mesmerizing and seductive look.

Upon hearing Yan Shaozhe's voice, Xu Zihuang instinctively looked up at the platform. His gaze lingered briefly on the woman in red before returning to its original position.

This woman in red must be Ma Xiaotao.

"Back then, at this age, you dared to challenge the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Human-Faced Demon Spider?"

Gong Changlong muttered annoyed to himself. After hesitating for a moment, he decided not to insist on his idea any further.

"Since you've put it that way, Lao Yan, let's give it a try. But let me make this clear: if anything goes wrong, I won't take responsibility. Xiao Du, you can go now."

"Yes, Elder Gong." Du Weilun responded, channeling his soul power to land on the high platform and bow to Yan Shaozhe.

"Dean Yan, isn't this too risky?"

Yan Shaozhe smiled and said, "Viren, don't worry. With me and Lao Gong here, nothing will happen. We also need to help the students who were frightened overcome the shadow left in their hearts by this human-faced demon spider. It's just a ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider; the academy can afford to lose it. We can't let this affect the students' future development."

Du Weilen understood instantly, but some questions remained in his mind.

As luck would have it, the question that was on his mind was voiced by the woman in red next to Yan Shaozhe.

"Teacher, why do you think so highly of him?" The woman in red asked, her melodious voice tinged with doubt.

"Although his spirit ring configuration far exceeds that of ordinary spirit masters, according to my perception, his spirit power cultivation is only at the level of just breaking through level 40. Even if it were me facing this human-faced demon spider with ten thousand years of cultivation, I would need to have at least level 50 spirit power to have any chance of success."

"Xiao Tao, you'll see once you keep watching," Yan Shaozhe replied with a light laugh.

"After returning from this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, Le Xuan has been full of praise for him. If he can really suppress your evil fire problem and make him a good match for you, you will be able to truly soar to great heights in the future."

The identity of the woman in red was now self-evident; she was none other than Ma Xiaotao, Yan Shaozhe's direct disciple.

Ma Xiaotao blushed. "I don't want to get married, and I especially don't want to marry someone I don't like because of my martial soul."

Yan Shaozhe's expression turned serious.

"How do you know you won't like him in the future? Yu Tianhuang is top-notch in terms of appearance, talent, and strength. In terms of talent alone, he is even superior to you. Feelings can be cultivated, but life is only once. Besides, you are so outstanding, and your teacher is waiting for you to take over as the dean of the Martial Soul Department in the future."

Upon hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, Ma Xiaotao felt less aggrieved and her tone softened considerably.

"But he has to actually be able to suppress my problem with my 'evil fire'..."

When it comes to such sensitive topics, Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao communicate using soul power to transmit their voices.

During their conversation, Gong Changlong slowly retreated to the edge of the arena and gave instructions to the group of arena staff behind him.

"Raise the soul-guiding shield."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dense surge of soul power suddenly erupted from the edge of the wide, oval-shaped Soul Arena, and a massive combined soul-guided shield gradually took shape.

This combined soul-guided shield has astonishing defensive power; even a Soul Douluo-level expert would find it difficult to break through.

It was as if a semi-transparent, brilliant golden light shield enveloped Xu Zihuang and the ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider.

Although Gong Changlong had previously said that Yan Shaozhe was in charge, he had been standing by the edge of the field, ready to intervene at any moment to ensure Xu Zihuang's safety.

Just as the soul-guided shield was fully formed, the soul-guided shield also blocked the pressure of the Bow Dragon's soul power on the ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider.

The human-faced spider reacted incredibly quickly. As soon as it regained control of its body, its five-meter-diameter body sprang up, spinning violently like a millstone, its lower abdomen exposed, and it lunged towards Xu Zihuang.

The long-suppressed ferocity erupted completely!

Chapter 140 Kill and End

The pale human face reappeared before Xu Zihuang's eyes, and two beams of white light suddenly shot out from the pair of pale white eyes on the abdomen of the human-faced demon spider.

Xu Zihuang, who was prepared, had a golden halo around his pupils flowing around him. Relying on his powerful martial soul instinct of dynamic vision, he had captured the trajectory of the two white lights in advance and easily dodged them.

After his mental strength underwent a qualitative change, his perception became increasingly acute.

With a deafening roar, two beams of white light collided with the brilliant golden soul-guiding shield, creating ripples.

The collision between the two instantly stirred up a fierce gust of wind. Xu Zihuang's long black hair fluttered in the wind as she rapidly retreated.

The Silver Spirit Beast is a type of spirit beast that excels in both spirit and agility. After absorbing the Silver Spirit Beast's spirit ring, his own speed was also improved to a certain extent.

But this ancient, human-faced demonic spider was extremely cunning. It stopped its rapidly pulsating eight ferocious spider legs, and with a flick of its mouth, a large amount of black spider silk was spewed out, frantically covering the center of the arena, attempting to block all of Xu Zihuang's escape routes. It wanted to avoid all risks. Previously, Xu Zihuang's second soul skill, Mirror Annihilation, had restricted him for a full second, which had given it a sense of crisis.

Although the arena is spacious, it is ultimately finite. Fighting in such a place gives it a significant advantage.

This is also one of the reasons why Du Weilun strongly suggested that Xu Zihuang choose another ten-thousand-year-old soul beast to challenge.

The second soul ring pulsating around him shone brightly, and Xu Zihuang condensed it into a closed spherical crystal barrier in front of him, blocking the spider silk of the human-faced demon spider from the outside.

The Human-Faced Demon Spider is a creature even spirit beasts fear. It possesses an incredibly sturdy carapace, phenomenal speed, and eight long legs with extremely strong penetrating power and potent venom. But its most terrifying feature is its spider web.

The spider web carries a terrifying neurotoxin.

Xu Zihuang might be able to use his second soul skill to condense a crystal mirror in the air to gain momentum and escape the dense spider webs on the ground, but doing so would only make him a target for the human-faced demon spider.

The Human-Faced Demon Spider possesses a powerful innate soul skill called Spider Web Binding.

If the Spider Web Binding Soul Skill is used, it will not spit out spider silk like it does now, but will directly spray out an extremely sticky and tough spider web.

Of course, spider webs also possess terrifying neurotoxins.

As time passed, only the area centered on Xu Zihuang's body, which was blocked by the dark red crystal, was not covered by the black spider web.

At this moment, the ancient human-faced spider moved again, but it still did not approach Xu Zihuang rashly. Instead, it spat out a black spider web with a diameter of more than 30 meters, which covered the sky and enveloped Xu Zihuang.

Because of the dark red crystal, Xu Zihuang did not directly touch the black spider web, but it seemed that he had no way to escape.

Most of the students in Class 1 and Class 2 of the second year on the high platform held their breath, as the shadow cast by the ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider was still too great. Even with the barrier of the combined soul guide shield, Dean Yan Shaozhe, Director Du Weilun, and more than twenty martial soul department teachers standing in front of them, they still felt a suffocating sensation spreading through them.

Dai Huabin and Wang Dong both wore grave expressions. Putting themselves in their shoes, they probably wouldn't have been able to withstand even the first attack from that ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider.

Rather than gloating, what they wanted more was to surpass Yu Tianhuang in cultivation and strength.

Among everyone, only Wu Feng harbored malicious thoughts.

It's best if the teachers don't have time to rescue them and are killed here by the human-faced spiders.

She thought viciously.

The martial spirit teachers present, along with Ma Xiaotao, all frowned slightly. Yu Tianhuang's actions were like digging his own grave. Without any martial spirit attribute counter, given the vast difference in cultivation between him and the ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider, it was impossible for him to break free from the spider web's constraints.

The most appropriate response is to unleash one's strongest attack while one's actions are still unrestricted.

In the vast Soul Beast Forest, they wouldn't be in such a passive position. But in this arena where the two ends are less than two hundred meters apart, the space is so limited that there's nowhere to hide, forcing them to clash head-on.

No wonder they don't think highly of Yu Tianhuang.

Gong Changlong, standing at the edge of the field, raised his eyebrows wildly.

"This kid shouldn't be the kind of person who's brainless, right? If he keeps going like this, isn't he just asking for trouble?"

In the arena, the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Human-Faced Demon Spider slowly moved around Xu Zihuang, as if searching for a weakness, its six small, dark blue eyes brimming with killing intent.

Time passed second by second, and the man-faced demon spider's hideous legs scraped across the spider silk, making a series of eerie friction sounds.

Xu Zihuang rotated continuously inside the dark red spherical crystal, following the movement of the human-faced demon spider, and stared indifferently at the six small, dark blue eyes of the human-faced demon spider.

As if it had hesitated for a long time before making a decision, a trace of anthropomorphic resentment and decisiveness flashed in the six small eyes of this human-faced spider. Then, a thick white mist spewed out from the mouth of the ferocious human face under its belly, covering its body and turning into a black afterimage. It swung its eight sharp and hard spider legs and rushed towards Xu Zihuang at high speed.

That white mist was an ability that the Human-Faced Demon Spider acquired only after evolving to a level of ten thousand years of cultivation. Even though it had just been erupted into the air, the air itself seemed to be corroded, making a popping sound, and the white mist spread outwards at an extremely fast speed. Hard granite floors would turn into puddles of white water the moment they came into contact with the white mist.

The severity of the white fog's toxicity is beyond doubt.

Gong Changlong's expression immediately changed. He waved his hands over the combined soul-guided shield, creating a gap in the golden shield. A deep dragon roar sounded behind him, and crimson soul power surged from his hands, the scorching aura forcing back the white mist exhaled by the human-faced demon spider.

The combined soul-guided shield can isolate mental energy, and now that his vision is also blocked, he has no choice but to take action if he wants to ensure Yu Tianhuang's absolute safety.

This white mist is incredibly powerful, but a human-faced demon spider with ten thousand years of cultivation usually needs a month to accumulate enough energy before it can use it again. The last time it was used was the very day it was captured.

Gong Changlong never expected that this human-faced demon spider would rather expend its own power to exhale this mouthful of white mist.

The human-faced spider did this for a reason: to ensure that it would devour Xu Zihuang.

It had sensed the rich soul power and blood energy within Xu Zihuang's body before. If it were to devour such a human soul master, it would greatly help improve its cultivation.

The white mist dissipated, and the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Human-Faced Demon Spider revealed itself where Xu Zihuang had been standing. The spherical, dark red crystal was completely pierced by its two front legs. However, Xu Zihuang was not among them.

Gong Changlong had already sensed it, so he wasn't surprised. Just then, a faint green light suddenly flashed at the top of the combined soul-guiding shield. Xu Zihuang's slender figure appeared from the slit in the light.

Purple, purple, purple, black—the four spirit rings shone brightly at the same time.

Xu Zihuang had just used Chu Qingtian's sixth soul skill, Netherworld. When Chu Qingtian encountered soul beasts after leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, he used it a few times, and Xu Zihuang used his fourth soul skill to imprint and store it.

This is also the source of his previous composure and confidence.

The Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Human-Faced Demon Spider was looking for his weakness, but wasn't he also looking for the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Human-Faced Demon Spider's weakness?

He deliberately provoked the Spider-Faced Demon to attack him, thus launching his attack the moment the Spider-Faced Demon was off guard.

From the beginning, he understood that continuing to entangle with the human-faced spider in such a confined space would only worsen the situation. That's why he planned this all-out attack.

Show the enemy weakness and attack when they are unprepared.

Amidst the melodious roar of a whale, the phantom of a silver-scaled white whale swam around him. The ten percent increase in mental power brought by his first soul skill, the Roar of the White Whale, caused his mental strength to surge once again. A purple-gold light seemed to flicker deep within his brilliant golden eyes.

Immediately following was a burst of brilliant golden light, as the third soul skill, Time Distortion, was unleashed.

Enveloped in this strange halo, the human-faced spider's form seemed to freeze, stiffening in place.

With a wave of his right hand, Xu Zihuang conjured five enormous, ten-meter-long, dark red crystal cones, several times deeper in color than before, instantly solidifying in mid-air. Under the ten percent mental power amplification of his first soul skill, his control over his second soul skill also significantly improved.

His second soul skill, Mirror Annihilation, has a unique characteristic: the more soul power injected, the heavier and harder it becomes. When he restrained the Human-Faced Demon Spider, if he had injected more soul power, he might have been able to restrain it for more than just a second.

The skill granted to him by the demonic orca was essentially transforming tangible, intangible soul power into a tangible, physical entity.

With a thought, the five sharp crystal cones, amplified by the third soul skill Time Distortion, crashed heavily into the dark, hard carapace of the ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider at an illogical speed.
