Chapter 60: Courting Death Makes You Stronger

"Mu Chen, come back!"

"Boss Mu!"

"Boss Mu!"

Zhao Wuji, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai, and Tang San watched Mu Chen with admiration, all thinking he was truly loyal and righteous.

However, they didn't know it was all an act.

"Quick, chase after him," Zhao Wuji urged.

About half an hour later, using the Wind God Leg, Mu Chen finally caught up with the Titan Giant Ape.

As Mu Chen approached, the Titan Giant Ape bared its teeth, warning him. Nearby, Xiao Wu was following their plan, meditating to obtain her third soul ring.

"Brother!"

Soon, Xiao Wu awoke from her meditation and ran to Mu Chen's side.

"Xiao Wu," Mu Chen said, patting her head.

Meanwhile, the Titan Giant Ape watched its beloved being so affectionately touched by a human, and it didn't feel pleasant.

Soul Power +35,000

"Huh, I actually gained 35,000 points of soul power?" Mu Chen was shocked, looking at the Titan Giant Ape.

Due to the Titan Giant Ape's jealousy, it contributed 35,000 emotional points to Mu Chen.

Wow!

Mu Chen's lips curled up, thinking that the forest king indeed lived up to its name, generating 35,000 emotional points just from jealousy.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, your soul power has leveled up. Current level: 41 (20,000/149,000)."

"Only 147,000 more points needed to level up," Mu Chen thought, forming an idea. He asked Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, did you get your third soul ring?"

"Yes," Xiao Wu nodded.

"What is your third soul skill?" Mu Chen asked, already knowing the answer.

"My third soul skill is Teleportation, allowing me to move five meters instantly," Xiao Wu replied proudly.

"Teleportation, not bad," Mu Chen nodded. "So this is the forest king, the Titan Giant Ape?"

"Yes, I call him Er Ming. Er Ming, this is my brother, Mu Chen. Next time, make sure to check your surroundings," Xiao Wu instructed.

Er Ming nodded.

"Er Ming, since you call Xiao Wu 'Sister Xiao Wu,' you should call me 'Brother-in-law.' Go on, say it," Mu Chen said with a smile.

Hmph!

Er Ming snorted angrily.

Soul Power +40,000

Er Ming's emotional fluctuation earned Mu Chen another 40,000 points.

"Er Ming, seeing your beloved has become my woman, how do you feel?" Mu Chen asked provocatively.

Roar!

Er Ming glared at Mu Chen and roared furiously.

Soul Power +300,000

The enraged Er Ming provided Mu Chen with 300,000 soul power points. As the forest king, with a history of 100,000 years and unmatched even by a Titled Douluo, its emotional output was incomparable.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, your soul power has leveled up twice. Current level: 43 (0/170,000)."

"Brother, stop teasing Er Ming," Xiao Wu scolded, giving Mu Chen a look before approaching Er Ming and gently touching its nose. "Er Ming, my brother was joking. Don't be mad. I need to train in the human world, but I'll visit you and Da Ming with my brother when I can."

Er Ming nodded.

"Xiao Wu, we should head back," Mu Chen suggested.

"Okay," Xiao Wu agreed.

They hadn't walked far when a massive creature leaped down from a tree.

"Careful," Mu Chen said, wrapping an arm around Xiao Wu's waist and moving her aside.

Third Soul Skill: Teleportation

In desperation, Xiao Wu used her third soul skill, teleporting herself and Mu Chen five meters away.

"It's a Man-Faced Demon Spider," Xiao Wu said.

"I'll handle it," Mu Chen replied confidently. His soul power surged, and the Chaos Sword appeared in his hand.

Third Soul Skill: Roar of Flames

A blazing sword descended from the sky, striking fiercely.

"Mu Chen!"

When Zhao Wuji and the others arrived, they saw a giant spider lying dead beneath Mu Chen's sword.

The spider's body was over 1.5 meters in diameter, with legs over three meters long, covered in a glossy black exoskeleton. Its slender legs silently pierced the ground, indicating their sharpness. The spider's abdomen had white patterns contrasting with its black body, forming a sinister human face, with eight glowing purple eyes on its abdomen.

"A Man-Faced Demon Spider? Boss Mu's strength is terrifying!" Tang San exclaimed.

As a disciple of the Grandmaster, Tang San knew the Man-Faced Demon Spider had a tough shell, incredible speed, and eight long, venomous, piercing legs. Even a century-old spider could match a typical millennium-level soul beast. This spider clearly exceeded a millennium, capable of challenging a ten-thousand-year soul beast.

Yet, it lay defeated beneath Mu Chen's foot.

"Xiao Wu, you're alive?" Oscar exclaimed in surprise.

"What, do you want me dead?" Xiao Wu retorted playfully.

"Hehe, as long as you're alive. But what's going on with the Titan Giant Ape?" Oscar asked curiously.

"The Titan Giant Ape took me to the forest's core. Then I heard a bull's roar, and when I woke up, the Titan Giant Ape was gone. Some millennial soul beasts nearby were stunned, so I killed one and took its soul ring. After that, I met Brother Mu Chen," Xiao Wu recited, following the script Mu Chen had prepared for her.

"A bull? What kind of bull could fight the Titan Giant Ape?" Zhao Wuji wondered.

"I don't know. I was knocked out by the roar and didn't see what kind of bull it was," Xiao Wu replied.

"As long as you're safe," Zhao Wuji said, not overthinking it. "But what's with this Man-Faced Demon Spider?"

"Mu Chen and I were ambushed by it on our way back. He injured it," Xiao Wu explained.

"That's the gist of it. Tang San, you should use this for your third soul ring," Mu Chen suggested with a smile.

"It?" Tang San frowned. "Boss Mu, its diameter exceeds two meters, and it's over two thousand years old. According to my teacher's martial spirit competition theory, a soul master's third soul ring should be under 1,760 years. This exceeds that limit."

"For ordinary people, yes. But you're exceptional. I believe your body can handle this Man-Faced Demon Spider's soul ring. The question is, do you dare to take the risk?" Mu Chen challenged, looking at Tang San.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, you've triggered a D-level hidden task: Help Tang San keep the soul ring and compete with Meng Yiran again."

"Meng Yiran?"

Mu Chen was surprised, wondering if it was a coincidence that the Man-Faced Demon Spider he killed was the same one tied to the storyline conflict between Meng Yiran and Tang San.
