The master exclaimed in surprise, "This spider is very ferocious. It hunts its prey relentlessly every day and stores it up as a reserve food."
The wolfsbane spider is highly venomous. It produces a paralyzing toxin in its mouth. Whether it is a spirit beast or a human, as long as it bites you, it will paralyze your whole body within seconds and make you completely helpless.
"Be careful! Don't get bitten. It produces a paralyzing toxin. This spider is about three hundred years old. Its vital areas are its abdomen and eyes. Don't..."
Before the master could finish speaking, Hao Yun dodged the spider silk, rushed in front of the wolfsbane spider, and snapped off its eight long legs with a snap.
"What did you just say, Master?"
After breaking off the spider's leg, Hao Yun stepped on the wolfsbane spider's head and turned to ask a question.
The master was speechless for a moment, then said to Tang San.
"When you encounter an opponent in the future, you must go all out, but never follow his example. Before attacking, you must first understand the opponent's strength. If you can beat them, then fight; if you can't, then run away."
Tang San glanced at Hao Yun, then looked at the Grandmaster.
"Yes, I understand."
In truth, Tang San still prefers to charge headlong into the fray and overpower his opponent.
"Little San, this spider is perfect for your first spirit ring. According to my research, plant spirits can also be attached with animal spirit rings, but no one dares to try my theory. Little San! Are you willing to give it a try?"
At this moment, the master looked at the still-alive wolfsbane spider, and a strange light appeared in his eyes.
"I do."
Tang San didn't know much about martial souls and soul rings, but since his teacher had such a wealth of knowledge, if he said it was possible, then it definitely was.
Tang San drew his short sword and stabbed the Wolf Poison Spider to death. In front of the Grandmaster, Tang San did not hold a grudge against Hao Yun. He had already decided that he would definitely give him a good beating when he had the chance in the future.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Tang San began to draw his spirit rings according to the master's instructions.
After kicking the spider corpse aside, Hao Yun curiously observed Tang San, finding his unique power system quite interesting.
The awakening of a martial spirit can bring about a basic improvement in physical attributes. Hao Yun did not receive an increase simply because he was too strong, and the Chaos Demon Ape had already increased his physical attributes once.
About an hour later, Tang San successfully absorbed the spirit ring. The Blue Silver Grass surrounding him underwent a slight change, with red patterns appearing on the pale blue grass leaves.
When the soul ring absorption was finished, Tang San opened his eyes, a hint of joy on his face. His Xuan Tian Gong, which had not progressed for many years, had actually broken through.
"So, what skills did the spirit rings give you?"
The master couldn't wait to walk to Tang San's side; his theory was finally being put into practice.
"I don't know how to explain it, let me demonstrate."
Tang San aimed at a large tree and activated his spirit ring skill. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, more than a dozen Blue Silver Grasses shot out and all wrapped around the tree.
After looking at it, Hao Yun suddenly realized that this was the spider's skill of shooting spider silk when it attacked.
The master walked towards the big tree and reached out to touch the Blue Silver Grass, but Tang San stopped him as soon as he reached out.
"Teacher, my Blue Silver Grass contains paralyzing toxins, so you'd better not touch it."
The master's eyes lit up—it was poisonous! This was good news; he wanted to see just how potent the paralyzing toxin on the Blue Silver Grass was.
"Let's go, let's try finding a soul beast."
The excited master and apprentice immediately abandoned Hao Yun and found a ten-year-old fox spirit beast, immediately binding it in an Asian style.
Then, the master and apprentice stared intently at the weak and helpless little fox and began to conduct inhumane physiological experiments.
After some research, they discovered that the paralyzing toxin on the blue silver grass was not strong, but it could paralyze the parts that came into contact with the blue silver grass for a short time.
"Is the research almost done? I still need to find a spirit ring!"
Upon hearing Hao Yun's words, the master turned and glanced at him.
"What type of spirit ring do you want? What is your martial spirit?"
Chapter 50 Silverback Vajra
Hao Yun has already helped his apprentice hunt spirit beasts, so the master is preparing to help Hao Yun find a suitable spirit beast.
Actually, Hao Yun was just trying his luck. As for what kind of soul beast to look for, he only had one requirement: it had to be strong and healthy.
"My martial soul is the Chaos Demonic Ape, and I'm a strength-type melee soul master. I need soul rings that are over ten thousand years old."
The master frowned. Chaos Demonic Ape, what kind of martial soul is that? Never heard of it. Could it be a mutated martial soul? Let's take a look before giving advice.
"Show me your martial spirit first."
Hao Yun summoned his martial spirit directly, leaving the master dumbfounded.
"You! How come you don't have a single spirit ring?"
The master's eyes widened, feeling his faith crumble. What the hell? How could someone without even a spirit ring be so powerful?
"Have you always relied on physical strength to fight?"
When asked by the master, Hao Yun nodded. There was nothing strange about it.
Seeing Hao Yun's nonchalant expression, the master was speechless. What kind of monster was this? He would believe it if you said he was a soul beast incarnation.
"I understand. Your martial soul is definitely a top-tier martial soul. As for adding a ten-thousand-year soul ring, I advise you to think it over carefully. Your body can definitely handle it, but a ten-thousand-year soul ring is different from a thousand-year soul ring. Adding a ten-thousand-year soul ring will cause a soul impact."
"I know, then I want ten thousand years too."
Hao Yun would love to have a 100,000-year spirit ring attached to him, so how could he possibly choose a spirit ring shorter than 10,000 years?
"Okay, I understand. But I still suggest that you attach a ten-thousand-to-twenty-thousand-year-old spirit beast spirit ring to your first spirit ring, just in case something unexpected happens."
The master wanted to see how far this freak could go after encountering him.
His first spirit ring is ten thousand years. When he grows to become a Title Douluo, he will definitely be the strongest one. However, he probably won't be able to reach that level. He is too old, which will seriously affect his future growth.
The three of them wandered around the Star Dou Great Forest for several days without finding a suitable ten-thousand-year-old soul beast for Hao Yun. This situation is normal. If you're unlucky, it may take one or two months to find a soul beast that suits your martial soul.
Furthermore, the three of them were searching in the outer areas, where the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts were relatively weak and did not meet Hao Yun's needs at all.
"We can't delay any longer. The longer we stay here, the more dangerous it becomes. Let's go a little deeper today."
The experienced master gritted his teeth and decided to venture deeper into the search for the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.
After resting for a while, the three of them began to walk deeper into the forest. After walking for about an hour, an orchard appeared in front of them.
The master stopped and said to Hao Yun, "Your spirit ring should be settled by now."
In the Star Dou Great Forest, any fruit orchards that appear are basically occupied by monkey-type soul beasts, which are just right for Hao Yun.
After observing the perimeter of the orchard for a while and finding no spirit beasts, the master was not in a hurry and patiently squatted in the grass to observe.
On the thick canopy of a fruit tree, a huge gorilla leaped over, then squatted on a tree, picked a few fruits, and stuffed them into its mouth.
"The Silverback Vajra, judging from its size, is a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. As for its age..."
The master hesitated. He didn't know much about this kind of soul beast and could only make a rough estimate, so he didn't give Hao Yun an accurate value for a long time.
Hao Yun glanced at the master, then dashed out in a flash. As long as it was a ten-thousand-year-old one, he would deal with the others after killing them.
Rushing into the orchard, Hao Yun roared at the silverback gorilla.
"Hey! You grandson!"
The silverback gorilla, who was eating fruit, couldn't understand what Hao Yun was saying, but a nameless fire rose in its heart.
The Silverback King Kong roared, stood on its feet, and pounded its chest with its arms.
Not to be outdone, Hao Yun activated his Chaos Demon Ape Martial Soul and roared at it as well.
The man and the beast started shouting at each other, seemingly competing to see who could shout the loudest.
However, the Silverback Vajra's voice weakened noticeably, showing a hint of fear in the face of Hao Yun's martial spirit.
This is normal. What is Hao Yun's martial soul? It's the Chaos Demon Ape, one of the three thousand demon gods. Although Hao Yun only has a thin bloodline, it is still a bloodline suppression.
Realizing that his bloodline was being suppressed, the Silverback Vajra was somewhat annoyed. He slammed his fists into the ground and pounced directly at Hao Yun.
Tang San, who was hiding in the shadows, saw that the two sides were about to fight, so he asked.
"Teacher, do we need help?"
"No rush, let's assess the situation first, and then act when the time is right."
Actually, the master was too embarrassed to say it, saying that we two weaklings couldn't be of any help, and that we could just watch the show from the sidelines.
The man and the beast collided. Despite his small size, Hao Yun was very strong and held off the Silverback King Kong. The two began to struggle.
"Get out of here!"
Hao Yun suddenly leaped backward, catching the Silverback Vajra, who was wrestling with him, off guard and pulling it to the ground. The Silverback Vajra, weighing over a thousand pounds, slammed into the ground, making it shake.
Hao Yun jumped onto the neck of the silverbacked giant and started hammering it on the head.
"Oh la oh la oh la..."
The two fists rained down on the head of the Silverback Vajra like a storm, each punch heavy, but to no avail.
Enraged by the blow, Silverback Vajra reached out to grab Hao Yun on its head, but Hao Yun nimbly dodged it.
Hao Yun was like a flea, jumping around on the Silverback King Kong, causing the King Kong to roar in anger, but it just couldn't catch him.
The two sides were deadlocked, and Hao Yun was quite helpless. If he had been given a divine weapon, this gorilla would have become his spirit ring by now.
Hao Yun struck the Silverback King Kong's neck with such force that he felt as if he had kicked a rock, unable to break its bones at all.
The silverback gorilla, over five meters tall, leaped and bounded through the orchard, trying to shake Hao Yun off its back. But Hao Yun wouldn't let it have its way, clinging tightly to its mane.
This silverbacked giant was clever; seeing that it couldn't shake Hao Yun off, it suddenly rammed its back against a big tree, trying to force Hao Yun to jump down on his own.
With a cold snort, Hao Yun leaped onto the top of the Silverback Vajra's head, and with a swift right hand, he shoved his gouge into the Vajra's eye socket.
"Palm Thunder!"
All of this happened in an instant. The Silverback King Kong crashed into the fruit tree and fell to the ground without uttering a sound.
Hao Yun's palm lightning just now practically cooked his brain.
A black spirit ring emerged from the Silverback Vajra. Grandmaster and Tang San, who had been hiding in the shadows, emerged from the bushes after the battle ended.
The master glanced at the Silverback Vajra, then at Hao Yun, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. To withstand a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast with one's bare body was truly monstrous. "Go ahead and absorb the soul ring, we'll protect you."
Hao Yun sat cross-legged on the ground and began to guide the soul rings to his body.
