Chapter 16 - First Soul Skill: External Soul Bone Appears

Shi Yu felt a chill run down his spine; the other party was trying to stop him from teleporting.

The opponent may not be able to interfere with space itself, but they can interfere with a Soul Master's use of spatial attributes; he is currently being interfered with.

After interfering with Shi Yu, Xu Sanshi charged forward at top speed, like a bull charging, as if he wanted to smash Shi Yu to pieces.

Shi Yu could no longer teleport as instantly as before with the "Sky-Soaring Technique"; the flow of his soul power was sluggish, and it was too late.

His first spirit ring lit up, and he intended to use its power to accelerate the operation of spatial forces.

After his soul skill was activated, the spatial power within his body circulated significantly faster, and his body shot upwards like a rocket taking off.

Ten thousand years ago, for some reason, he couldn't use his spirit rings, but after returning, he was able to use them normally.

His first soul skill is the ability to fly, allowing him to fly or to make his opponents or other objects fly.

If used correctly, this can deflect many of the opponent's close-range attacks and even energy attacks.

He has no choice but to change his position if he causes Xu Sanshi to deviate too much.

Xu Sanshi pushed off the ground and leaped up, intending to knock Shi Yu down as he flew upwards.

Shi Yu ascended at an extremely fast speed, quickly exceeding the range he could reach.

In his haste, Xu Sanshi threw the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield in his hand at Shi Yu.

Shi Yu's muscles tensed, and he could no longer increase his speed; if he continued like this, he would surely be attacked.

In a split second, he considered using the power of time, but the influence of the opponent's third soul skill made it difficult for him to use the power of time in an instant.

This is not like ten thousand years ago, when he could ignore even the pressure from a Soul Saint and circulate his soul power freely.

He can't compare to when he traveled back ten thousand years.

A purple light shone behind him, and spider legs emerged from the flesh on his back, bending and overlapping to block his way.

"What is that?" many people exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the suddenly appearing spider legs.

Xu Sanshi was surprised.

Beibei frowned slightly.

Huo Yuhao stared blankly, not understanding what it was.

Mu En, who was lying leisurely over there, stared unblinkingly at Shi Yu, who was already dozens of meters off the ground.

"External soul bone, eight spider spears?" Mu En was not one of those ignorant students; he made a judgment at a glance.

However, this external soul bone surprised him. It was extremely similar to the external soul bone possessed by Tang San's ancestor ten thousand years ago, and was suspected to be the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone.

With a clang, the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield struck the Eight Spider Spears, producing a sound similar to the clash of metal.

Shi Yu's body was sent flying, tumbling several times in the air before he managed to regain his balance.

A sharp pain shot through his back, causing him to grimace in pain. Upon closer inspection, he saw that two of the spider legs on his Eight Spider Spears had cracks, indicating that he had been badly injured.

The Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield was bounced back by the recoil and was firmly held in Xu Sanshi's hand.

Xu Sanshi clenched his fists upon landing, refusing to make another move, finding it hard to accept the outcome.

Shi Yu let out a long sigh of relief, then looked at Xu Sanshi, his expression also grim.

"The three-move agreement is over, Xu Sanshi, you've lost. I hope you'll keep your word and stop bothering Senior Nan Nan in the future."

Some people looked at Shi Yu, amazed by his abilities and curious about what was on his back.

Some people looked at Xu Sanshi with a hint of mockery; it was still quite embarrassing for a Soul Master to fail to defeat a Soul Venerable within three moves.

Xu Sanshi remained silent, but his fists clenched even tighter.

He glanced at Jiang Nannan, who had a detached expression and turned her head away, clearly not interested in him.

Seeing Jiang Nannan's expression, Xu Sanshi felt even more heartbroken and unwilling to give up so easily.

"Let's go first," Beibei ran over and tried to pull Xu Sanshi away.

The three-move agreement was agreed upon, and openly breaking it would severely damage Xu Sanshi's reputation, so he had no choice but to endure it for the time being.

Xu Sanshi withdrew his martial spirit and followed Bei Bei away. After taking a few steps, he stopped and turned back to look at Shi Yu, his gaze icy.

"I lost this time, but I'll challenge you again in a while. If you're a man, don't run away."

"You can hide for a while, but can you hide forever?"

Shi Yu landed slowly, finding Xu Sanshi's words amusing.

"Aren't you just trying to provoke me into accepting your challenge?"

"Then you can make another condition, such as overturning our bet. If you win, it's the same as not losing this time."

"Do you really think I'm stupid? I'm sorry, but I won't accept any more challenges from you. I hope you can keep your promise this time and stop bothering Senior Nan Nan."

"And don't come looking for trouble again. If you're a man, you'd better keep your word," Shi Yu said sharply.

"You..." Xu Sanshi was about to go over and slap Shi Yu.

"Calm down, calm down," Beibei quickly pulled Xu Sanshi back.

"Everyone, please bear witness for me, and if you see Xu Sanshi harassing Senior Nan Nan in the future, please remind him that as a man, he should keep his word," Shi Yu shouted loudly.

Since Xu Sanshi wants a sequel, then he'll give him one.

"No problem," many people agreed with a smile, clearly enjoying the spectacle.

"You just wait!" Xu Sanshi said, pointing at Shi Yu. He was too ashamed to stay any longer and left angrily.

Beibei went with Xu Sanshi to comfort her good brother.

Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya didn't stay there long either, and followed Bei Bei.

"Brother, is that a soul bone on your back?" someone asked curiously, their eyes burning with desire.

Shi Yu looked back and silently put away the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone.

He simply smiled slightly at the person and did not respond.

If you don't want to admit it, lying would be like treating the other person as a fool, so it's best to stay silent.

"Senior Nan Nan, don't blame me for standing up for you and making sure Xu Sanshi stopped bothering you, right?" Shi Yu said apologetically as he approached Jiang Nan Nan.

It's not quite right for him to make decisions for Jiang Nannan without her consent.

Jiang Nannan looked at Shi Yu, shook her head slightly, and said, "I really don't want to talk to him, and I'm annoyed by his pestering."

"You solved this problem for me, I'm so grateful, how could I possibly blame you?"

"I'll treat you to a meal sometime as a way of thanking you."

"Then I'll have to rip you off!" Shi Yu said jokingly, immediately relaxing.

"Don't eat anything too expensive, I don't have much money," Jiang Nannan warned.

"I don't have much money either, so let's save some. It would be embarrassing if we ate and couldn't pay the bill, and then had to wash the dishes to pay it back," Shi Yu said with a smile.

Jiang Nannan couldn't help but smile. Seeing Shi Yu's relaxed demeanor, she still asked with concern, "Are you hurt?"

"My back hurts a little, but it's nothing, I'll be fine after a few days of rest," Shi Yu said nonchalantly.

Jiang Nannan came up behind Shi Yu and reached out to lift Shi Yu's clothes.

"What are you doing?" Shi Yu was caught off guard, but she didn't dodge.

Jiang Nannan lifted his clothes and saw several red marks on his back.

That was all caused by the collision between the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield and the Eight Spider Spear Soul Bone.
