Chapter 263: External Attached Soul Bone

"It's nothing... I sprained my thigh yesterday," Tang San had no choice but to endure the pain and say.

However...

Xiao Wu suddenly looked at him strangely and said, "Ge, why do I feel like your voice has become thinner?"

"I don't think so..." Tang San felt a jolt in his heart, then immediately said in a deep voice.

The heavy vocal tone seemed to have no issues, just as thick and deep as Tang San's usual voice.

"It seems so... maybe I heard wrong," Xiao Wu said immediately upon hearing his voice.

"Exactly, you heard wrong," Tang San let out a sigh of relief again, then said, "Alright, Xiao Wu, you can get down now."

"Fine, Ge, take good care of your injury." Xiao Wu no longer doubted anything, but soon she curiously asked Tang San, "Ge... did something happen between you and Ning Feiliu before?"

"Ning Feiliu?!" Upon hearing this name, Tang San shouted loudly, unable to hide his anger.

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

In fact, at the age of twelve, if a boy's voice hasn't broken yet, it is somewhat similar to a girl's voice.

But Tang San's previous vocal tone had never been this sharp, which made Xiao Wu suspicious again.

Tang San seemed to notice his loss of composure and said in a deep voice again, "I do have some grievances with him... and this person has already invited his own death; sooner or later, I must kill him."

Although he was currently masking his vocal tone, he made no effort to hide his killing intent toward Ning Feiliu.

After all, Ning Feiliu had caused him to lose that thing, and he might never be able to be a normal man again in this life; how could he endure this! Even Ning Feiliu felt it was normal for Tang San to want to kill him over this matter, as indeed few men could endure such humiliation.

Although it was Tang San's own fault, one could understand his hatred toward him.

However, understanding is one thing, but Ning Feiliu would not sit and wait for death.

There was absolutely no way Tang San would succeed in killing him!

"Ge... what exactly happened?" Xiao Wu, however, 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, he was far less angry than he was now.

Moreover, Ning Feiliu was far more powerful than Zhao Wuji, and given Tang San's personality, he would not normally harbor such obvious and intense killing intent toward a powerhouse who was clearly far stronger than him now.

So she was naturally very curious: why was San Ge, who had always been so "good," mature, and steady, so angry at Ning Feiliu?

What on earth had happened?

Yet, Tang San would certainly not say that because he wanted to "borrow" Ning Feiliu's Steel Sun Box pendant, he was miserably wounded by Ning Feiliu's soul skill, resulting in him becoming a neither-man-nor-woman, neither-human-nor-demon, pathetic eunuch.

"He treated the teachers and you, Xiao Wu, like that; he has already invited his own death!" he could only answer this way, "Teacher Zhao didn't do anything wrong either, yet he treated Teacher Zhao like that! And Dean Flender, he is a close friend of the teacher and also my teacher; as a disciple, how can I endure the teacher suffering such great humiliation!"

But Xiao Wu still felt it was very strange; yesterday, she hadn't seen Tang San react so strongly to the humiliation of Zhao Wuji and Flender.

Why was he suddenly so angry today, and insisted that he would kill Ning Feiliu sooner or later? In short, Xiao Wu couldn't quite figure it out.

"Alright, Xiao Wu, I'm going to wash up first, we'll see each other later." Tang San brushed the topic aside.

Xiao Wu had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay... Ge, see you later."

However, her heart 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 let out a sigh of relief and was just about to take his toiletries to wash up.

But just at this moment...

"Yo, Tang San, why didn't you return to the dormitory last night?" Oscar's voice appeared before Tang San, accompanied by his handsome face.

Although after experiencing yesterday's events, he had also become infatuated with Ning Rongrong, who had shown herself to be brave, responsible, kind, and strong.

But after all, Shrek Academy had always been his home, so he still intended to keep yesterday's events buried in his heart.

It's just that...

One day, he would definitely go find Ning Rongrong again and resolve the conflict between her brother and the academy.

And of course, there was also...

Pursuing Ning Rongrong and making her his wife.

But for now, life had to go on as normal, though he would just speed up his cultivation.

However, what he didn't know was that at this moment, Tang San, for some reason, felt his heartbeat quicken upon seeing his handsome face.

"It's... it's nothing." He hurriedly pretended to wet a towel to wash his face and said.

"Speaking of which, it seems neither you nor Xiao Wu came back yesterday." But at this time, Oscar chuckled, came up, and hooked his arm around Tang San's neck, saying with a hint of teasing.

On the first day of school, he had naturally seen that the relationship between Tang San and Xiao Wu was unusual.

So he naturally associated this with the two of them not returning all night, though he was just teasing his roommate, Tang San.

Yet he didn't know that because of this action of his, Tang San's heart rate suddenly accelerated.

He swatted away Oscar's hand and said, "That's not it... don't overthink it, Xiao Wu and I are not in that kind of relationship..."

Oscar, however, thought Tang San was flustered because his joke had hit the mark, and laughed again, saying, "What do you mean... I think it's exactly like that..."

As for Ning Feiliu's side, he naturally got up early in the morning.

Thinking back to last night's events, he couldn't help but giggle.

So, of course, he couldn't fall back asleep for the rest of the time.

However, Ning Mingrui and Ning Rongrong couldn't help but notice him getting up early and suddenly giggling to himself while eating breakfast, and they couldn't hold back.

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

To make him laugh so happily.

Ning Mingrui did not have that reservation; 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 act serious, but he couldn't help but laugh again.

Come to think of it, although he had aimed his first soul skill of the Calibrum at Tang San's "business" last night, he really didn't know what had become of Tang San's area.

This was naturally a very miserable matter.

So he didn't know if Tang San was the former or the latter; if it were the former, at least Xiao Wu could still enjoy it later.

If it's the latter, then Xiao Wu will have it rough. Of course, once she becomes a god, she can probably grow them back anyway.

The suffering that Tang Wutong and Tang Wulin are destined to endure later on probably won't be avoided, provided that Tang San can refrain from opposing Ning Feiliu.

But that's likely difficult; the Tang Family will probably be gone in the end.

Ning Feiliu doesn't think that he will end up losing to Tang San.

However, for Ning Mingrui and Ning Rongrong right now, what they are most curious about is why Ning Feiliu is laughing so happily.

"Feiliu, what's so funny..." Ning Mingrui immediately felt a sense of gossip and curiosity, and said.

"Haha, nothing, just that yesterday while I was cultivating, a bird flew over and tried to snatch my Soul Guidance Device, so I directly..." Ning Feiliu laughed, and said to Ning Mingrui with a playful look on his face, "dismantled its bird, I dismantled the little bird's little bird, hahaha!"

"This... hahahaha..." Ning Mingrui suddenly also found it somewhat funny, and started laughing.

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

Ning Rongrong was a bit confused, but seeing her two brothers laughing, she also let out a giggle and snickered.

Ning Feiliu just glanced at her without saying much more.

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

On the way, when they mentioned this matter again, Ning Feiliu and Ning Mingrui couldn't stop laughing.

Especially Ning Feiliu, for he was the one who knew best "which one" the bird that had its magazine unloaded was.

But they didn't forget their main business, which was to obtain the third Soul Ring for Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong's third Soul Ring was also quite simple; a Soul Ring of around a thousand years would do.

With her talent, there would certainly be no problem absorbing the Soul Ring.

The only thing was to find that suitable thousand-year Soul Beast.

And as it happened... two days after they entered the Star Dou Great Forest, they discovered a Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent of about a thousand years.

They saw a massive Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent, about six or seven meters in length, with a bright red fleshy crest on its head, looking somewhat ferocious; based on its characteristics, it was likely a Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent just over a thousand years old.

"This Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent is just right for Rongrong's third Soul Ring." Ning Mingrui's eyes lit up as he said this to Ning Feiliu.

However, Ning Feiliu's expression became somewhat strange.

Seeing this Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent, he suddenly remembered something; could this Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent be the very Soul Beast from the original plot that belonged to Oscar?

But don't misunderstand, he didn't think that this Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent originally belonged to Oscar and had to be left for him.

Soul Beasts are meant for whoever has the ability to hunt them; it just happened to belong to Oscar in the original plot, but it wasn't raised by his family, so there was no need to give it to him.

Ning Feiliu just associated it with... in the original plot, there was another thousand-year Soul Beast at this timeline...

It was very tempting.

That's right, it was precisely the thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider that Tang San killed by accident in the original plot, which then produced the extremely rare Eight Spider Lances for him.

Eight Spider Lances... actually, he still didn't like them much, but at least they were an External Spirit Bone that didn't occupy an "equipment slot."

And since he had already formed a grudge with Tang San, it was the same old saying: it was better to intercept it himself than to leave it for Tang San.

But the key was how to find that specific thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider...

Tang San also stumbled upon it by accident; because he was desperate to save Xiao Wu who had been "abducted" by the Titan Giant Ape, he unexpectedly encountered a Man-Faced Demon Spider and, after cruelly killing it, obtained the extremely rare External Spirit Bone, the Eight Spider Lances.

In reality, that Man-Faced Demon Spider was relatively special, but the key to producing the External Spirit Bone Eight Spider Lances lay in Tang San's brutal slaughter of it.

Ning Feiliu vaguely remembered a theory from the original plot that as long as a Soul Beast is full of hatred before it dies, the probability of it producing a soul bone can be increased.

Tang San had vented all his hatred onto that thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider, which was how he obtained the rare soul bone.

So Ning Feiliu figured this process would also be unavoidable.

But before that, let's find that thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider first.

Although the Star Dou Great Forest is quite vast, there shouldn't be only one or two thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spiders in the outer perimeter.

So searching for them might be relatively difficult.

But Ning Feiliu believed... in order to intercept Tang San's soul bone in advance, he could actually be a bit more ruthless.

That is...

To brutally slaughter the thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spiders in the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest one by one!

Anyway, according to the theory of Tang San and Xiao Wu in the original plot, such evil Soul Beasts deserve to be killed... right? Ning Feiliu naturally wouldn't have any burden.

Although it was a bit wasteful to constantly slaughter Soul Beasts for the sake of a soul bone, being a little wasteful is fine.

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

And he could also just happen to... harvest some soul fragments for "Dark Harvest."

Thus, after helping Ning Rongrong obtain the Soul Ring from the Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent, Ning Feiliu said to Ning Mingrui and Ning Rongrong, "Big Brother, I still need to collect a lot of Man-Faced Demon Spider venom, so I have to go and hunt many more Man-Faced Demon Spiders next."

He didn't explicitly state that he was going to obtain a soul bone, but used the excuse of collecting Man-Faced Demon Spider venom.

After all, Ning Feiliu was a disciple of Dugu Bo and had researched quite a few potions and miraculous medicines like the Mysterious Water Pill, so naturally, Ning Rongrong and Ning Mingrui didn't find it very strange.

"Since that's the case, let us accompany you." Ning Mingrui thought for a moment, then said to him.

Ning Rongrong had already been successfully personality-corrected by Ning Feiliu, so naturally, she had no objections.

Ning Feiliu immediately nodded with a smile, and then Ning Mingrui and Ning Rongrong followed him, watching him continuously hunt Man-Faced Demon Spiders in the Star Dou Great Forest and then collect the "venom."

It's just that... every time Ning Feiliu hunted a Man-Faced Demon Spider, it always seemed a bit too brutal.

Not only would he completely smash the human face on the Man-Faced Demon Spider's abdomen, but he would also dismantle all its spider legs and disembowel it.

When the thirteenth Man-Faced Demon Spider died under Ning Feiliu's hands, filled with fear, pain, and hatred, finally... a glimmer of blue-purple appeared within its body.

"This is..." Ning Mingrui looked at this bright color and was stunned for a moment.

And Ning Feiliu revealed a smile, "Finally, found it."
