Chapter 23: Clear Sky Douluo

Meng Shu's domineering words filled Meng Yiran with boundless admiration. She looked at Zhou Hao with even greater arrogance, thinking about how she would deal with him once he agreed. Her confidence in her grandfather's strength made her ignore the possibility of rejection.

The dragon-headed staff in Meng Shu's hand emitted a dazzling light, accompanied by the resounding roar of a dragon. A golden edge shot straight towards Tang San's chest.

Finally, Zhou Hao spoke, "Have you ever heard of the name Clear Sky Douluo, senior?"

In that instant when the Dragon Duke made his move, he was shocked by these words, almost causing his spiritual power to falter.

"You are Clear Sky Douluo's descendant?" His eyes widened.

"No, he is!" Zhou Hao pointed at Tang San.

"His martial spirit is Blue Silver Grass. I can clearly see that. If you dare to say another word, I will kill you!"

"What if he has twin Martial Spirits? Oh, I forgot to tell you, his surname is Tang!"

Meng Shu finally wavered, struggling to swallow a mouthful of saliva, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

At this moment, Zhao Wuji's voice came from afar, "Dragon Duke, please show mercy."

"Teacher Zhao, over here!" Zhou Hao waved his hand and saw Zhao Wujinl activating his martial soul, swiftly rushing over. The shadows of other people could already be seen behind him.

Meng Shu's face turned dark as he glared fiercely at Zhou Hao, while Chao Tianxiang showed a fearful expression. Only Meng Yiran didn't understand what was going on. She looked at Zhou Hao, who appeared confident but didn't ask anything, feeling ignorant.

Zhao Wuji rushed forward and anxiously asked Zhou Hao, "Are you and Xiao San okay?"

"We're fine. Tang San accidentally killed the Man-Faced Demon Spider they were after, and now he has fainted," Zhou Hao replied.

Zhao Wuji turned around and stood in front of Zhou Hao, saying, "Senior, if there's any problem, I can bear the responsibility. Please don't make things difficult for them."

"Zhao Wuji, you shameless! You've collected such excellent disciples! What explanation do you have for snatching the spirit rings of my granddaughter twice?" Meng Shu finally found a target in Zhao Wuji and his eyes filled with disdain.

"Dragon Duke, please let's have a private conversation," Zhao Wuji said in a deep voice. After a brief consideration, Meng Shu glanced at Tang San behind him and agreed.

Chao Tianxiang stared fiercely at Zhou Hao, burning with anger but not daring to make a move. Seeing the others approaching from a distance, Zhou Hao quickly had Oscar bring two sausages and fed them to Tang San. If he didn't wake up soon, the Spider Face Demon Spider's spirit ring would disperse.

Meng Yiran knew that just because Zhou Hao mentioned "Clear Sky," not only did she lose her spirit ring, but she also couldn't seek revenge. She felt a great sense of injustice.

After a while, Tang San woke up amidst the crowd's watching. He called out, "Xiao Wu," but then realized, "I've caused trouble for everyone!"

Zhou Hao walked over and patted Tang San, saying, "Quickly, this spirit ring suits you best. Adjust yourself and absorb the spirit ring. Then we can go find Xiao Wu. You can't even stand now, so how can we find her? Also, give me some of your hidden weapons that are suitable for women."

Confused, Tang San took out ten Ghost Piercing Needles from the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges and handed them to Zhou Hao. The dense purple-black light had already gathered above the Spider Face Demon Spider's corpse, presenting the best opportunity to absorb the spirit ring. Tang San's relaxed expression tensed up again. He always remembered that he had to save Xiao Wu.

Tang San sat cross-legged, focusing his mind as he began to absorb the spirit ring. At that moment, Zhao Wuji and Meng Shu walked out from the nearby forest.

"Then I wish you a smooth journey tomorrow, senior. Take care," Zhao Wujin said with a smile, while Meng Shu took a deep breath to calm himself before saying to Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran, "Let's go! We're done here today."

Meng Yiran still felt wronged and wanted to ask a few more questions, but she was pulled back by her grandparents. Seeing this, Zhou Hao stepped forward and said, "Miss Meng, you must like the Broken Soul Blade, right? Xiao San asked me to give you some hidden weapons. This one is called the Ghost Piercing Needle. It's five inches long, thin at the front and thick at the back, and even lighter in weight. It should suit you well! Consider it as compensation."

Meng Yiran saw the exquisite needles and her interest was instantly piqued. Although she still felt sad, she felt much better. After all, Tang San had killed the Man-Faced Demon Spider to save his life, and he even apologized sincerely.

However, she asked with surprise, "I practice the Broken Soul Blade, but only my grandfather and grandmother know about it. How did he figure it out? Does he also practice it?" Her beautiful eyes were filled with curiosity.

Zhou Hao smiled mysteriously, shook his head, and didn't speak anymore. Dragon Duke's expression was complicated as if he was eager to leave. The three of them hurriedly departed.

The Shrek Academy group finally breathed a sigh of relief. Today's events were full of twists and turns, but they had finally come to an end. However, Xiao Wu's life and death remained unknown, and a heavy burden weighed on everyone's hearts. No one had expected that even with the protection of a Spirit Saint, there would still be such great dangers.

At this moment, Tang San faced his true test. The purple-black light, as if waiting for a long time, found an outlet for release. As soon as it was drawn, it surged into Tang San's body like a river flowing into the sea.

Zhao Wuji was secretly astonished. How many years of cultivation did thisMan-Facedd Demon Spider have? Its soul power fluctuations were so intense.

"The energy of the Man-Faced Demon Spider's spirit ring is inherently domineering, and its cultivation has already exceeded the optimal limit for Tang San. It won't be easy for him to absorb it. Now we can only rely on him," Zhou Hao said in a deep voice.

Zhao Wuji nodded solemnly. It was his negligence, but now it was too late, and they could only rely on Tang San's luck.

"However, there is one advantage. For every soul master, the more extreme the spirit ring, the stronger the soul skills it brings," Zhou Hao added.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San's soul power fluctuated intensely, and his body seemed to have expanded slightly. His face showed signs of pain, and he spewed out a mouthful of blood.

The people surrounding him were all shocked at the same time. They had all absorbed spirit rings before, but this was the first time they encountered such a situation.

"He seems to have reached his limit!" Zhao Wuji felt extremely anxious, but he had no way to help. Despite having cultivation at over seventy levels, he was completely helpless at this moment.

Tang San felt a massive surge of heat running rampant through his meridian as if flames were burning his body. The inherent toxicity and violence of the Man-Faced Demon Spider determined the dominance of its spirit ring, which forcefully began to remodel his body.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Hao walked forward. He looked at Tang San's contorted expression and whispered, "Tang San, Xiao Wu is coming back soon!"

Those words seemed to have a miraculous effect. Tang San's momentum suddenly soared. The energy in the spirit ring was beyond the control of his consciousness. Zhou Hao's aim was to stimulate Tang San's desire to survive to the maximum extent. The energy in the spirit ring was crazy, but he had to be even crazier than it!

Tang San's brows furrowed, and a fine layer of blood beads began to ooze out of his body, forming a faint red mist. His bones also crackled, but the third spirit ring still didn't manifest. He hadn't succeeded yet.

Everyone was in a state of panic, like ants on a hot pan. Suddenly, the sound of light footsteps reached their ears.

Zhao Wuji's gaze turned ice-cold, and his soul power condensed. "Who's there?" At this critical moment, nothing could disturb Tang San.

"It's Teacher Zhao! Everyone, I'm back!"

Everyone looked in astonishment at the figure running over. Despite her disheveled appearance, it was indeed Xiao Wu, who had returned safely.
