Fortunately, after laughing for a while, Ma Hongjun didn't continue to laugh; more or less, it calmed Flender's overwhelmed heart.

However, since Ma Hongjun had already acquired the soul ring, the spotlight was now on Tang San.

Theoretically speaking, the Man Faced Demon Spider is the best choice.

Unfortunately, no one knew if it was bad luck or if there's a reason why someone hunted and killed the thousand-year-old man-faced spider.

In short, whether Liu Erlong led the team or later joined Shrek's team, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San found to their dismay that they couldn't find a man-faced spider of suitable age.

The human-faced demon spider is logically not a sought-after item. Except for the soul masters with spider-like martial souls who can absorb it, the rest of the soul masters don't even bother to look at it.

After searching for another day without any results, Yu Xiaogang's face became a little stiff.

At the same time, it was also puzzling.

The seriousness of the situation, combined with the excessive rigidity and stiffness, made it seem like they weren't here to hunt soul beasts but to bury someone.

After silently complaining in his heart, Lu Yuan moved his fingertips slightly; Ma Hongjun, who accidentally fell from the tree trunk, was caught out of thin air.

Ma Hongjun scratched his head with a smile, then jumped back to the ground and resumed his practice.

"What is he doing?" Ning Rongrong looked at Ma Hongjun jumping up and down, occasionally falling from the tree, and asked, bewildered.

Ning Fengzhi didn't answer, but instead smiled and glanced at Uncle Jian and Gu.

Chen Xin was slightly surprised and explained to Ning Rongrong, "If I understand correctly, this should be a way to exercise the accuracy of soul power, but..."

Gu Rong added from the side, "It's just quite unrefined, isn't it?"

Chen Xin nodded, his words rendered speechless. Although they understood the purpose behind the exercise, using tree climbing to improve precision surpassed their expectations.

Normally, controlling one's soul power accurately depends either on talent or slow refinement over time and effort. Would such a simple and crude training method truly yield results? Chen Xin and Gu Rong remained skeptical.

Unbeknownst to them, Ning Fengzhi sat up straight beside them. A gleam of light silently flashed in his gentle eyes.

Creating one's own soul skills—moreover, favoring auxiliary self-created soul skills. Much like their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's ancestral distraction soul skill.

Does Ma Hongjun possess such talent? Based on their interactions over the past few days, Ning Fengzhi didn't think so.

Hence, he shifted his gaze to Lu Yuan, hoping for some insight. Yet, after observing for a while, he calmly withdrew his gaze. His thoughts remained hidden.

Though Ma Hongjun's actions drew some attention, those engrossed in their own thoughts didn't pay them much mind.

For instance, Yu Xiaogang currently felt quite worn out. And equally eager was Tang San.

"The location is correct, the trace is correct, and the living environment is correct." Yu Xiaogang calculated with the simplest method of elimination.

Everything was ready. But why couldn't they find a suitable man-faced spider? Was it really this elusive?

Swearing inwardly, Yu Xiaogang cast a glance at Tang San who seemed hesitant to speak. In a reassuring tone, he comforted, "Little San, don't worry. Even if you can't find the Man-faced Demon Spider, you can still find the Crypt Demon Spider."

Tang San nodded in silence. He understood that hunting soul beasts was a task that required patience.

Though there was a second option, the Pit Demon Spider wasn't as potent as the Man Faced Demon Spider. The latter could infuse his blue silver grass with potent toxicity, which the crypt spider couldn't.

It was a shame that the two who remained unaware of this sat quietly nearby. Otherwise, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San would've been fervently searching for Lu Yuan.

Time ticked away with every passing second. Before long, the sky grew darker.

Frustrated by the absence of a suitable Man-faced Demon Spider, Yu Xiaogang had to concede, abandoning fruitless efforts. They would have to settle for the Crypt Demon Spider tomorrow.

In the dark forest, lighting a bonfire became necessary. Despite the inherent dangers, two Titled Douluo overseeing things led Flender to believe it was a reasonable choice.

Ning Rongrong's proposal in particular garnered support.

However, no one knew that the last team to light a bonfire in the Star Dou Forest had met an unfortunate end. Lu Yuan reminded them that he had a say in this matter, but...

A touch to the unresponsive eye beneath his forehead made Lu Yuan feel that this time wouldn't be a repeat of last time, right?

His intuition was quite keen. Indeed, this time nothing reminiscent of the past occurred.

Because, high above, at an altitude of 10,000 meters, a massive black shadow hovered. A subtle dragon power unconsciously emanated from it.

Within this 10,000-meter radius, not even a bird soul beast dared to intrude.

However, the shadow refrained from swooping down. It lingered, as though awaiting an opportune moment.

Joyous moments always proved fleeting. While those around the bonfire dispersed, some lingered.

This included Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Dai Mubai, and Heaven Dou Prince Xue Qinghe. Another pair was Ning Rongrong and Lu Yuan, seemingly idle.

These boys and girls possessed an energy beyond the ordinary. Of course, it didn't mean Tang San and the others lacked energy.

Still, Tang San chose to rest, eager to absorb the spirit ring with heightened mental focus on the next day.

"Cheers!" Ning Rongrong raised her wine glass with gusto, downing its contents in a single gulp.

Her face flushed, yet she remained completely sober.

Dai Mubai on the side could only wear a bitter expression. He picked up the wine glass in a daze and downed its contents in one gulp.

Seeing Dai Mubai in this state, Ma Hongjun and Oscar could only stick with him to the end.

Who knows why Ning Rongrong can hold her liquor so well? Could it be her physical fitness? Can she drink a thousand cups without getting drunk?

Silently grumbling a few words, Ma Hongjun glanced at the drunken and nonsensical Dai Mubai, his eyes twitching at the sight.

Dai Mubai, who usually holds his alcohol well among the boys, was nearly intoxicated.

Looking around and trying to focus his vision through the overlapping images, Ma Hongjun was astonished to realize that, apart from Ning Rongrong, there were no other girls left in the area.

He shook his head vigorously, wondering if he was mistaken. However, soon he too fell asleep, a smirk on his lips. If Ma Hongjun could maintain clarity, he'd remember: he didn't misread anything; he just recalled it inaccurately.

Observing that Oscar had also succumbed to slumber, Xue Qinghe rubbed his forehead in disbelief. He then forged a reason to leave the table, using his sober mind to manipulate his soul power and dispel the drunkenness.

Such deception could leave a negative impression, but now that he had departed, it hardly mattered.

"Lu Yuan, you actually hiccupped."

Ning Rongrong blushed and was about to address the question that had been bothering her, but her attempt was promptly interrupted by an involuntary belch.

Frustrated, she downed the contents of her glass in one go, yet the sudden courage she'd mustered escaped her grasp.

"What did you want to say?" Lu Yuan picked up his wine glass, sipped it leisurely, and asked calmly.

His constitution was different from that of regular humans. To be precise, he was no longer purely human, akin to drinking with a giant dragon.

Even if that dragon wasn't pure-blooded and lacked alcohol resistance, their stomach capacity and digestion rates differed.

Therefore, Lu Yuan could be considered not drunk at the moment.

Ning Rongrong seemed taken aback by Lu Yuan's directness. She froze for a moment, then smiled faintly and sighed, "It's nothing."

Lu Yuan refrained from pressing further, and an awkward atmosphere settled for a while.

Not far away, Chen Xin and Gu Rong stood with somber expressions, saying nothing.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, don't worry, Rongrong—"

"Shut up," Chen Xin and Gu Rong chorused.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a wry smile. Isn't it just that his prized possession wants to play hard to get?

Interested in becoming a concubine—this could be a wonderful thing. The problem, however, was...

Thinking of the vanished 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast, Ning Fengzhi felt helpless.

Why do all these geniuses have to be so stubborn?

Unbeknownst to many, an eminent emperor from across the heavens once championed this perspective, leaving behind a famous saying:

As long as there is love, anything is possible.

The legendary emperor had proven this maxim with his life.

Hence, even a transformed soul beast, or even one that hadn't transformed, was—cough!

It's probably best to not ponder beings that don't have a physical form. Just think about...
