After a long while, Oscar stammered, "How is that possible! Don't Soul Bones only come from hundred-thousand-year soul beasts?"
Zhao Wuji slapped Oscar on the head, saying, "You never pay attention in class! Who said only hundred-thousand-year soul beasts have Soul Bones? Besides hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, which are guaranteed to drop a Soul Bone, those that haven't reached that level may also produce Soul Bones, but the chance is only one in a thousand, it's all down to luck."
"My god, Tang San is so lucky." Oscar was practically filled with envy, jealousy, and hate.
He still knew the general function of Soul Bones; they were treasures even more precious and rare than soul rings.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were also shocked. They came from extraordinary backgrounds and naturally understood Soul Bones, knowing how precious they were.
Zhao Wuji looked at Ao Tian and frowned, asking, "Ao Tian, are you sure Tang San became like this after obtaining a Soul Bone?"
Although Zhao Wuji had never absorbed a Soul Bone, he had heard about them. He was very puzzled; how could absorbing a Soul Bone cause eight spider legs to grow?
Ao Tian said, "That's right, that's a Soul Bone, and it's the even rarer External Soul Bone."
"What! This is an External Soul Bone?" Zhao Wuji exclaimed in shock, completely losing his composure.
"Teacher Zhao, what is an External Soul Bone?" Oscar asked, puzzled.
Zhao Wuji suddenly felt his mouth go dry. He took a deep breath and said, "External Soul Bones are incredibly rare. They appear in less than one in ten thousand cases. Besides the hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings, External Soul Bones are the most coveted treasures for Soul Masters."
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong both gaped in shock, looking at Tang San with envy.
Who wouldn't envy a Soul Bone?
"Should we stop him?" Gu Yue Na's voice suddenly echoed in Ao Tian's mind.
Ao Tian shook his head slightly at Gu Yue Na. He wouldn't interfere too much with Tang San's opportunities.
For him, even if Tang San inherited the God of the Sea, it was still nothing to be feared.
In Ao Tian's eyes, these so-called opportunities of Tang San were far too trashy, so much so that he wasn't even interested.
This was normal. If a god from the God Realm were here, even the lowest-ranking god, they wouldn't even look at something like a Soul Bone.
After all, things from the mortal realm were too low-level.
Tang San was encased in a huge cocoon, showing no signs of waking up.
The group waited for more than a dozen hours, from the afternoon until the next morning, before the Blue Silver Grass cocoon finally showed some movement.
During these dozen or so hours, remarkably, no Soul Beasts came near.
Even at night, when the Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest were extremely active, none of them ventured here, which left Zhao Wuji, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing marveling at how good their luck was.
Spending over a dozen hours in the Star Dou Great Forest, and going through a whole night, without encountering a single Soul Beast – few would believe it if they heard it.
"Tang San is awake," Zhao Wuji said.
Everyone opened their sleepy eyes and looked towards Tang San.
The Blue Silver Grass that had tightly wrapped Tang San began to loosen, spreading outwards and revealing him.
As before, Tang San was still shirtless, his body supported in mid-air by eight spider legs. Two yellow and one purple soul rings pulsed around him.
He opened his eyes, looking around in confusion, and saw the eight spider legs beneath him.
"Teacher Zhao, this... what exactly is going on? How did I become like this?" Tang San asked in shock.
He was startled by his own appearance.
Zhao Wuji looked at Tang San with satisfaction, and said with approval, "Ao Tian said you obtained an External Soul Bone. These eight spider legs are your External Soul Bone."
"External Soul Bone, what's that?" Tang San asked, puzzled.
Although he had learned a lot about spirit beasts and spirit souls from the Grandmaster, the Grandmaster hadn't taught him about Soul Bones.
Zhao Wuji was showing so many smiles in front of his students for the first time, patiently explaining the knowledge of Soul Bones to Tang San.
As Zhao Wuji explained, Tang San exclaimed again and again, also attempting to retract the Eight Spider Lances back into his body.
"From now on, I'll call you Eight Spider Lances," Tang San said.
He put his upper garment back on, his excited mood still not calming down. He had actually obtained something so precious; how could he not be excited?
He looked at Ao Tian and said, "Ao Tian, I've finally broken through to Soul Master. I feel like my soul power has far surpassed level thirty-one, and I also possess an External Soul Bone. These Eight Spider Lances contain the terrifying venom of the Human Face Demon Spider. I think I should have the strength to fight you now."
Ao Tian laughed and said, "Anytime."
He liked Tang San's confident look every time his strength improved because it would be more satisfying to defeat him.
Zhao Wuji said, "Alright, everyone eat some breakfast and rest. Then we'll start looking for a soul ring for Zhu Zhuqing."
Zhu Zhuqing took out some dry rations and ate with Xiao Wu.
Tang San didn't immediately eat breakfast. Instead, he went to the Human Face Demon Spider's corpse and retrieved the sixteen crossbow bolts that had pierced its body. He wiped them clean with leaves and then took out his Zhuge Divine Crossbow to reload the bolts.
To maximize their power, he had forged each of these bolts from refined iron, so he couldn't afford to lose them.
"Tang San." Ning Rongrong came to Tang San's side and called out.
Finally. A smile played on Tang San's lips; he'd been waiting for Ning Rongrong for a while.
"What's up?" he asked, turning to face her.
Ning Rongrong's gaze fell on the Zhuge Divine Crossbow in Tang San's hand. Curious, she looked at the black box-like object and asked, "What is this thing? Why can it shoot arrows with such power?"
Tang San smiled. "This is a weapon I invented called the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. It has intricate mechanisms inside. Just pull the trigger, and it unleashes tremendous power, launching the arrows within."
"Does this Zhuge Divine Crossbow require soul power to use?" Ning Rongrong asked.
Tang San glanced at Ao Tian not far away, seemingly wanting to compete. He said, "It doesn't require any soul power at all. Just aim at your target and gently pull the trigger. The Zhuge Divine Crossbow is extremely powerful. Even an ordinary person can potentially秒杀 a Soul Master at the Soul Venerable level."
Xiao Wu, who was munching on some dry rations not far away, immediately felt a little displeased. She understood the meaning behind Tang San's words: he was telling Ning Rongrong that his Zhuge Divine Crossbow was better than Ao Tian's sword, and it didn't even need soul power.
Xiao Wu was about to stand up and defend Ao Tian, but Ao Tian patted her shoulder, signaling her to sit down.
After being lectured by Ao Tian, Xiao Wu had become much more obedient. Despite her annoyance towards Tang San, she sat back down quietly.
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up. "Can I try it?"
"Certainly." Tang San generously handed the Zhuge Divine Crossbow to Ning Rongrong and taught her how to load the mechanism.
"The entire Zhuge Divine Crossbow can hold forty-eight short arrows, divided into three groups, with a maximum of sixteen arrows fired at once. Within fifty meters, it's powerful enough to pierce through metal and stone." Tang San spoke with ease, as if he were selling a product to Ning Rongrong.
"Alright, the mechanism is set. Aim at that tree, and then pull this to fire."
Ning Rongrong's face was filled with excitement. "Then I'll try out its power."
Everyone's gaze was drawn over, watching curiously at the magical object Ning Rongrong held.
