Chapter 86 - A Bugged Spirit Skill! Zhu Zhuqing's Kiss!

"Oh?" Tang Lan wondered, "An External Spirit Bone?"

That was strange.

He had checked with his mental power the moment the Shadow Demon Cat died.

No spirit bone had dropped.

Where did this External Spirit Bone come from?

Tang Lan looked at Zhu Zhuqing's back, at the pure black Shadow Spirit Cat martial soul.

He guessed it was a chain reaction caused by absorbing the black bead.

It made sense.

It was, after all, a soul beast harboring the divinity of the Shadow God, so an External Spirit Bone was only natural.

So...

The Shadow Demon Tiger could have originally dropped a soul bone, but it was taken by the Evil God Pearl, causing Tang San to miss out on a great opportunity.

'I can hunt down this thing later and absorb the Evil God Pearl.'

'If I can get a soul bone, I must let Xiao Sanzi have a good look, and get some rewards.'

Lost in thought.

Tang Lan only felt soft jade in his embrace, and Zhu Zhuqing had thrown herself at him.

She wrapped her arms around Tang Lan's neck, and stood on her tiptoes to give him a kiss.

Chen Xin: "…"

"Young people these days are really open-minded."

But Zhu Zhuqing had consecutively obtained super-limit Spirit Rings, a martial soul evolution, and even an External Spirit Bone.

It was understandable that she would want to vent a bit in her excitement.

Chen Xin simply turned his back and, stepping on his Seven Kill Sword, floated away.

He wanted to give the two youngsters more space.

Tang Lan also came back to his senses – it was really that the normally cold Zhu Zhuqing had suddenly become so proactive that it caught him off guard.

But after he regained his senses...

"Little girl!

You're playing with fire!"

Half an hour later.

Chen Xin reappeared, leading Zhu Zhuqing, whose face was flushed but trying to appear composed.

They returned to Heaven Dou City.

After absorbing some of the Nine Yang Divine Skill's inner energy, Zhu Zhuqing finally recovered.

She glared at Tang Lan, annoyed, and twisted his waist with her small hand.

"Ouch—"

Damn it!

Do women all learn this move instinctively?

He quickly grabbed her hand.

"Zhuqing, tell me about your gains."

Speaking of this,

Zhu Zhuqing actually smiled, her crescent eyes curving upwards, unable to suppress her joy.

Like a gentle spring breeze after the melting of ice and snow, her beauty was beyond compare.

It caused Tang Lan to stare, mesmerized.

So, Zhu Zhuqing is this beautiful when she smiles!

"The Spirit Skill of the third Spirit Ring is called Shadow Step."

"That is, the move the Shadow Demon Cat used to ambush you before."

"It's instant, increases speed by 50%, allows you to traverse shadows and conceal yourself for 15 seconds, undetected by any mental power."

"It comes with a critical strike, increasing damage by 50%, and can be used in combination with other spirit skills."

Wow!

Is this the effect of a 5,000-year Spirit Ring?

Speed boost, stealth, and attack increase.

It's comparable to a ten-thousand-year spirit skill!

"What about the External Spirit Bone?" Tang Lan asked, "Since it comes from the same spirit beast, there should be an amplification, right?"

"Yes!" Zhu Zhuqing affirmed, "The External Spirit Bone grants a critical strike, which can ignore defense up to 10 levels below your own!"

"The spirit skill's proportion should also have been enhanced, but I don't know the original proportion, so I'm not sure."

Oh ho!

No need to ask.

The Shadow Demon Cat's ability to break through the Invincible Diamond Body relied on this "ignore defense" effect.

—As a divine beast, a 5,000-year Shadow Demon Cat could actually be considered a 50,000-year beast.

Roughly equivalent to a Soul Saint with seven Spirit Rings.

"And what about the External Spirit Bone's Spirit Bone Skill?" Tang Lan asked again.

Zhu Zhuqing's smile widened.

"The Spirit Bone Skill, Shadow Grief, attacks the enemy's shadow. Fifty percent of the damage is then transferred to the main body, and it also ignores defense."

"If the third Spirit Skill is used, the damage transfer rate will double to 100%, and the Spirit Skill can also be used, enjoying the bonus from the hidden attack."

Well then!

Who can even withstand that?

Tang Lan asked himself.

If they were at the same level, and if Zhu Zhuqing could sneak into his shadow without him knowing, one combo would leave him severely injured, if not dead.

If Tang Lan felt this way, other soul masters would be in even worse shape.

"There's more."

Zhu Zhuqing summoned her completely black martial soul, joy evident in her eyes.

"My martial soul has evolved!"

"It's strengthened the power of shadows, so it's more appropriate to call it the Shadow Spirit Cat now."

"The first and second Spirit Skills have also changed."

Her first Spirit Ring beneath her feet lit up.

The original Spirit Skill was "Netherworld Thrust," which caused her to grow claws and accelerate.

Now, her shadow transformed into a cat, leaping from the ground and clawing deep furrows into the earth.

The cat-shadow returned to Zhu Zhuqing's feet, once again becoming a shadow.

The first Spirit Ring lit up again.

This time, the shadow split into two black balls, attaching to the backs of Zhu Zhuqing's hands and forming two shadow claws.

"First Spirit Skill: Shadow Thrust."

"It can attack individually or amplify the user, and it also doubles speed, gaining extra acceleration in the dark."

This is a hundred-year Spirit Ring?

A thousand years wouldn't be much better!

Zhu Zhuqing continued her demonstration, her second Spirit Ring lighting up.

It was also a high-speed rotation, like a spinning top, with Shadow Claws continuously attacking the Blue Silver Emperor, tearing open a small gap.

—Even a seventh-ring Soul Saint would struggle to break free from this!

The black energy lingered on it, preventing even the ultimate life attribute from healing itself.

After a few seconds of stalemate.

That black energy finally ran out of steam, depleted, and was expelled.

If this were anyone else, they'd bleed out, and it would be difficult to heal.

"Second Spirit Skill: Shadow Hundred Claws."

"It's similar to Netherworld Hundred Claws, but it enhances the damage to wounds. The shadow power will seep into the body, destroying meridians, internal organs, and bones."

Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking and stared fixedly at Tang Lan.

She looked like a little woman waiting for her man's approval.

"Awesome!" Tang Lan said sincerely. "I declare that you are invincible among your peers!"

Zhu Zhuqing smiled radiantly.

This was the first time Tang Lan had seen her in this kind of feminine pose.

Beside them.

Chen Xin watched Tang Lan and Zhu Zhuqing, as if pink bubbles were floating between them.

He shook his head helplessly.

Zhu Zhuqing now had it all: figure, looks, strength, talent, and potential, all maxed out.

The third Spirit Skill and the External Spirit Bone formed a perfect combination.

It allowed Zhu Zhuqing to transform into a Shadow Assassin. Even he, at the same rank, wouldn't dare to say he could defend against her.

How could Rongrong possibly compete?

"Go back and tell Fengzhi to give up on the idea of a marriage alliance."

Now that the Spirit Ring had been obtained.

The three of them took a short break and then flew back on their swords.

On the way.

Zhu Zhuqing naturally embraced Tang Lan, using her softness to massage him—they had removed their heavy gear long ago in preparation for hunting the spirit beast.

She looked every bit the lovestruck girl, completely ignoring Chen Xin.

Hmm. I didn't expect Zhu Zhuqing to be a bit of a love-dove either?

This is the Love Continent, after all!

While "love-dove" is usually a derogatory term…

If the person being loved is oneself, then it's a huge advantage!

——Who wouldn't want a partner who always favors them?

——And who's also beautiful, with big breasts and a perky butt?

Anyway, Tang Lan was enjoying it right now.

Chen Xin pretended not to see anything.

Without a woman in your heart, drawing your sword becomes naturally divine.

He didn't care.

It's just that his Seven Kill Sword had even burst out a sonic boom!

He'd forcibly cut the time in half, landing in front of the city gate.

He'd thought Chen Xin would turn around and leave.

No problem.

Not wanting to,

Chen Xin put away the Seven Kill Sword and landed as well.

"Uncle Jian, do you need anything else?" Tang Lan asked.

"The match is tomorrow. I'll stay at the Tang Sect for the night," Chen Xin said casually.

"Alright, I'll have someone arrange it for you, Uncle Jian. We'll rely on Rongrong."

After passing the city gates.

Chen Xin once again controlled his sword, slowly flying towards the Tang Sect with the two of them.

Flying too fast might cause unnecessary trouble.

After all, this was Heaven Dou City, Emperor Xue Ye's territory.

Outside the Tang Sect Academy, it was still a sea of people.

A single Tang Sect encyclopedia had brought the Tang Sect renown across the entire continent.

The biggest beneficiaries were the commoners, who had been monopolized by knowledge.

And commoner spirit masters were the largest group by far.

They were either grateful, yearning, or making a pilgrimage.

But without exception, they all looked forward to the Tang Sect's future with great optimism.

They hoped to join the Tang Sect and become "pigs at the mercy of the wind."

To soar into the sky.

If it weren't for Tang Lan's foresight in entrusting Qian Renxue to help with the screening,

the Tang Sect would have taken over all of Heaven Dou City.

It could have even been overcrowded.

"Thriving," Chen Xin said with satisfaction, "With the people's support, the Tang Sect is bound to rise."

"Uncle Jian has a great eye," Tang Lan quipped.

This caused Chen Xin to chuckle.

They were about to enter the Tang Sect by sword when

a figure soared into the air, blocking their path.

It was a middle-aged man with crimson wings on his back, exuding the aura of a strong individual.

He respectfully bowed.

"I apologize for stopping Sword Douluo, but my daughter is imprisoned in the celestial prison. I hope you can understand, senior."

"Sect Master Tang, I am Huo Rong, Huo Wu's father, a Soul Douluo. I've come to apologize to Huo Wu, and I've brought a small gift."

Huo Rong took out a palm-sized gift box from his chest and flung it toward Tang Lan.

It whistled through the air!

Well now! Is this an apology or a show of force? "Hmph!"

Chen Xin snorted coldly.

The gift box exploded directly, revealing a fiery red bead.

Huo Rong's body sank as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

Cold sweat streamed down his forehead!

Huo Rong's expression changed drastically!

Damn! I underestimated the relationship between Sword Douluo and Tang Lan!

He couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

He's a Soul Douluo, and his daughter is imprisoned in the celestial prison. Can't he show a little temper?

Tang Lan didn't say a word.

He looked at the fiery red bead, recognizing its origin.

The Fire Spirit Core.

A Fire Spirit Core, formed with a small chance by fire-attribute spirit beasts after ten thousand years.

Carried by fire-attribute soul masters, it can increase their cultivation speed until it's used up.

Alternatively, it can be swallowed directly to increase soul power, with a small chance of assisting in breaking through a bottleneck.

Calculating at 1 centimeter per thousand years,

This Fire Spirit Core has a diameter of 12 centimeters, with an age of around 12,000 years.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it could be considered a treasure.

However, for Chen Xin and Tang Lan, it was somewhat beneath their notice.

Not to mention, Huo Rong's approach was aggressive; it was less an apology and more a "charitable donation."

"Oh!" Tang Lan sighed. "You're a headmaster, and your eyesight is still so poor."

Huo Rong was stunned.

Was he being mocked?

He quickly realized—he was the only headmaster present!

Immediately, a raging flame ignited on his head—truly, he was fuming!

"Sect Master Tang! What do you mean?" Huo Rong questioned, "I'm here on behalf of His Highness, the Crown Prince, to apologize. Are you defying the order?"

Well, well!

Not only was he hot-tempered, but he was also a bit of a fool.

Trying to pressure him with the Crown Prince's title?

It was His Highness, the Crown Prince, who personally ordered your daughter's imprisonment, and now you're here to beg Tang Lan for forgiveness.

The favoritism couldn't be more obvious, could it? Chen Xin didn't even bother to speak further.

He channeled his inner energy, condensing it into sword qi. He rapidly spun it, forming a sword wheel that emitted a piercing, whistling sound as it cut through the air.

He casually tossed it towards Huo Rong.

It seemed simple.

But Huo Rong was treating it as though it were a great enemy!

Time was too short.

He only had time to summon a fiery birdman. His spirit was attached to his body, complete with flame effects, and he clasped his hands together, attempting to block the sword wheel.

Even a casual attack from Chen Xin was from a peak Soul Douluo at level 96!

Huo Rong could only barely manage to block the sword, preventing himself from being instantly cut to pieces.

He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, staggering in the direction of the imperial palace.

—This is kindly sending him back to ask His Highness, the Crown Prince, for a more detailed explanation.

"Thank you, Sword Uncle." Tang Lan shrugged. "Otherwise, if I returned alone, today's matter would have been troublesome."

Huo Rong was like a powder keg; Chen Xin's presence alone made him ready to explode.

If Chen Xin wasn't here...

"Heh, just an 82-level Soul Douluo." Chen Xin chuckled lightly. "Little Lan, you could have held him off without a problem. If that kid Xiao San had used that Barrett, it was his good fortune to meet me."

Chen Xin's actions, though appearing to be a lesson for Huo Rong, were actually saving his life.

If Huo Rong wasn't part of the "Crown Prince's faction," and Xue Qinghe was a disciple of Ning Fengzhi, this wouldn't be so easily resolved today – this was the Tang Sect's doorstep, after all!

Being blocked at their home by Huo Rong and his daughter repeatedly…

If they didn't teach them a lesson, where would the Tang Sect's dignity be?

This matter… depended on how Xue Qinghe would handle it.

Tang Lan smiled without speaking at Chen Xin's words.

These past two months of training hadn't been just physical.

At least everyone had mastered the Barrett.

The error within a thousand meters was within one palm's width.

When the seven sniper rifles were set up, a Soul Douluo would be taken down in seconds.

Not to mention.

The ammunition production line was already established, and everyone had a Flame God Cannon, so the firepower suppression could wear him down.

Neither of them dwelled on this matter.

They flew directly into the inner circle of the Tang Sect.

From afar, they saw the flashing light of Spirit Skills.

Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Meng Yiran were there.

Opposite them, Jiang Zhu was using her healing aura, and there were six teammates beside her—this was a full seven-person team.

Outnumbered,

The battle wasn't one-sided, but rather a stalemate.

Chen Xin hovered in the air, his gaze fixed on Ning Rongrong.

At that moment,

a young man with effeminate features and a non-mainstream hairstyle was relentlessly pursuing her.

Tang Lan recognized him.

It was Jing Ling, a student from the Bluedot Academy, originally a substitute for the Shrek Seven Devils.

As an agile attack type, his martial soul was the rare Skeleton, and his agility even surpassed Zhu Zhuqing's.

Yet, he was helpless against Ning Rongrong.

A swift, fierce attack like that was something most ordinary Spirit Masters could only withstand head-on.

But Ning Rongrong, with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in her hand, was incredibly agile, dodging and weaving within a small space, always narrowly avoiding Jing Ling's bone blades.

Graceful Steps!

Though he was right on top of her, he couldn't even touch the hem of her clothes.

This made Jing Ling increasingly anxious! He, a proud agile attack-type Spirit Grandmaster, couldn't defeat a support-type tool spirit master who wasn't even level 30? It was simply too embarrassing! He decided to go all out—

"Second Spirit Skill: Bone Demon Enhancement!"

Jing Ling's speed increased again, and he lunged toward Ning Rongrong.
