Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 333: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

Ning Rongrong and Little Wu were escorted out of the city by the elder Soul Sage the next day. However, when they left, their group gained an additional Soul Douluo. This Soul Douluo was originally stationed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan in Souto City, overseeing the collection of Soul Beast materials from the Star Dou Forest and managing the information network in the region. He was responsible for governing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's operations in the area.

But upon learning that the clan master's beloved daughter, Ning Rongrong, had been attacked, he immediately abandoned those less important tasks and joined Ning Rongrong in making a swift retreat back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.

Before leaving, Ning Rongrong asked Chen Ming if he wanted to leave with them.

After all, if they traveled together, the Poison Douluo could provide protection along the way. Upon reaching the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, Chen Ming could also explain the matter of the soul tools to her father. However, Chen Ming ultimately declined, saying he needed to head into the Star Dou Forest to train himself.

Of course, although it seemed like he was heading to the Star Dou Forest, in truth, Chen Ming rode his horse through the night and rushed back to Heaven Dou City. He sought out Dugu Bo, who was in seclusion at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the Sunset Forest, to explain how he had borrowed Dugu Bo's name.

Dugu Bo, though slightly helpless about being implicated in something he hadn't done, cooperated with Chen Ming to align their stories about what had happened that night. Additionally, Dugu Bo prepared himself for how he would respond if he had to face Tang Hao directly in the future.

After ensuring everything was arranged, Chen Ming quickly returned to a small town near the Star Dou Forest on the outskirts of Souto City. Pretending to stock up on supplies, he then entered the Star Dou Forest.

This time, Chen Ming had his plans. Using A Yin's abilities, he locked onto the locations of all Man-Faced Demon Spiders in the Star Dou Forest that had lived for approximately 2,000 years. He systematically hunted them down one by one.

There were approximately 300 to 400 Man-Faced Demon Spiders in the forest aged between 1,000 and 10,000 years, but only fewer than 20 of them were around 2,000 years old. Among those, only three or four were active in the forest's outskirts near the Heaven Dou Empire. These unfortunate Man-Faced Demon Spiders became Chen Ming's targets, and he killed them one by one.

If a Half-God pursued a thousand-year-old Man-Faced Demon Spider, the spider surviving even one strike would be enough to make Di Tian give a thumbs-up and remark that the Beast God position might be more suited for the spider. But Chen Ming was no Chicken Leg Douluo (Sarcasm name Xuanzi), and the Man-Faced Demon Spiders were far from being the strongest Soul Masters. None of the spiders could escape his grasp.

Each time Chen Ming killed a Man-Faced Demon Spider around 2,000 years old, he would inspect the body to see whether it had dropped the Eight Spider Lances. On the third spider he killed, the unique energy fluctuation of a soul bone finally appeared, signaling the emergence of the Eight Spider Lances that greatly aided Tang San in the original story.

However, unlike in the original story, where the external bone directly attached itself to the body when the soul ring was absorbed, Chen Ming hadn't absorbed the Man-Faced Demon Spider's soul ring. As a result, the Eight Spider Lances existed in a state between illusion and reality, still attached to the spider's eight legs.

External soul bones can manifest in two different ways:

Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.

Physical Soul Bone: After killing a soul beast, the external bone can be found on its body. This is the most common form of external soul bone. For example, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw that Chen Ming absorbed belonged to this type.

Soul Ring Resonance: During the process of absorbing a soul ring, the resonance between the ring and the beast's internal energy directly integrates the external bone into the body. This method is rare and highly dependent on compatibility between the soul master and the soul beast. Even with the same conditions, one soul master may acquire an external soul bone while another may not.

The Eight Spider Lances on this particular spider belonged to the second type. However, a first-type Eight Spider Lances had also appeared in the original story. That one was dropped by a Man-Faced Demon Spider approximately 50,000 years old, and Tang San's own Eight Spider Lances absorbed it. Some even speculated that Tang San's Eight Spider Lances underwent their final evolution partly due to absorbing those additional Eight Spider Lances.

In situations like this, directly cutting off the spider's legs could destroy the soul power structure, causing the external soul bone to disappear. Generally, only by absorbing the soul ring and utilizing the connection between the ring and the bone can the external soul bone be gradually extracted and integrated into the body.

But common sense doesn't restrict the strong. After some thought, Chen Ming refined the spider's soul ring directly into its legs, concentrating all of the spider's essence into the Eight Spider Lances. This process transformed the energy anchored in the legs into a true soul bone.

Looking at the soul bone that had played such a significant role in the original story, Chen Ming shook his head and casually stored it in his soul tool, thinking he could offer it to Dugu Yan in the future. He then continued hunting the fourth Man-Faced Demon Spider.

However, to Chen Ming's silent surprise, the fourth 2,000-year-old Man-Faced Demon Spider he killed also dropped a set of Eight Spider Lances—this time in a tangible, physical form.

Chen Ming stared at the two sets of Eight Spider Lances and began reflecting.

The first Man-Faced Demon Spider he had ever killed had dropped a head soul bone. Now, after killing four spiders today, two external soul bones had dropped.

Although he understood the concept of luck, Chen Ming couldn't help but feel the drop rate for soul bones from Man-Faced Demon Spiders was absurdly high.

Originally, Chen Ming planned to clear out only the Man-Faced Demon Spiders near the Heaven Dou Empire side of the forest. But this unexpected turn of events changed his mind.

Over the next few days, Chen Ming hunted every Man-Faced Demon Spider he could find—whether it was a hundred-year, thousand-year, or even ten-thousand-year-old spider. As long as it was near the Heaven Dou Empire and its range of activity was outside the mixed area, Chen Ming tracked them down and eliminated them.

Within just two days, Chen Ming, guided by A Yin's abilities and his strength, killed over 200 Man-Faced Demon Spiders in the Star Dou Forest. About one-tenth of them dropped various types of soul bones, including a third Eight Spider Lances, this time at a mind-blowing 20,000-year level.

Chen Ming didn't let any of the Man-Faced Demon Spiders he killed go to waste. Regardless of whether they dropped soul bones, he consistently refined their soul rings and bodies to enhance the quality and age of the Eight Spider Lances he had already obtained. By using the principle of nourishing like with like, he steadily raised the Eight Spider Lances' age and quality.

Through this method, the first Eight Spider Lances he acquired had already been upgraded to a staggering 50,000-year level.
