Chapter 452 External Soul Bone Eight Spider Lances
Dai Mubai took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and then immediately rushed towards Zhu Zhuqing again.
He has already used his third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and gained two quarters of an hour to transform.
During this period, his attack power, defense power, strength, and resistance to abnormal statuses all double.
As for the other two soul skills, White Tiger Protective Barrier and White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, he did not intend to use them.
His first soul skill, White Tiger Protective Barrier, is a defensive skill. Zhu Zhuqing's attacks on him could not cause much damage and could be ignored, so he could not use it at all.
The second soul skill, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, is a ranged attack skill. For an agility-type soul master like Zhu Zhuqing, it can be easily dodged and poses no threat. It's better not to use it to avoid wasting soul power.
Therefore, Dai Mubai's plan was to use the White Tiger Vajra Transformation to enhance his attributes and instantly boost them, so as to suppress and subdue Zhu Zhuqing as quickly as possible with absolute power.
Dai Mubai's idea was good and beautiful, but he was destined to fail.
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing didn't dodge or flinch, but stood there dumbly waiting for him to approach, Dai Mubai couldn't help but grin with a confident smile.
Completely unaware, immense danger was descending upon him.
Just as Dai Mubai entered within three meters of Zhu Zhuqing, a faint smile suddenly appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's cold face.
She lightly raised her jade-like hand, then suddenly jerked it up, and a burst of golden light burst forth from between her fingers, swiftly striking all parts of Dai Mubai's body.
…………
On the other side of the forest.
Under the eager gazes of Dragon Lord Meng Shu and Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang, Meng Yiran explained and demonstrated to them her evolved martial soul, the Dragon Spear and Snake Staff, which she had obtained after absorbing immortal herbs.
He also took the opportunity to demonstrate his newly acquired third and fourth spirit rings, as well as the two spirit skills granted by those rings.
After seeing everything Meng Yiran showed them, the Dragon Lord and Snake Lady were naturally shocked, but also extremely gratified and delighted.
"I didn't dare say it before, but now I dare to say it: my granddaughter definitely has the potential to become a Title Douluo! Anyone who disagrees, come and debate with me anytime! Hahaha—"
The Dragon King put his hands on his hips and laughed heartily.
The Snake Woman stood to the side, smiling with satisfaction. She did not stop the Dragon Lord from being unrestrained. In fact, she was just as happy as the Dragon Lord, but as a woman, she was more reserved.
Otherwise, she might have laughed even more unrestrainedly than the Dragon King.
"Grandma, come with me for a moment, I have something else to show you."
As soon as the smiles on the faces of the Dragon King and the Snake Woman faded slightly, Meng Yiran immediately stepped forward and took the Snake Woman's hand.
"Oh? What is it?"
The snake woman's eyes lit up, and she asked a question.
"You'll see when you come with me."
Meng Yiran pulled the Snake Granny towards a secluded grove of trees, not forgetting to turn back and give Dragon Lord a final instruction:
"Grandpa, please wait here for a moment. This is not something I can show you. It involves a girl's privacy."
Long Gong Meng Shu was in a good mood at this moment, and he readily agreed to his granddaughter's request, nodding repeatedly:
"Alright, alright, Grandpa will wait for you here."
Arriving at a secluded spot in the dense forest, Meng Yiran carefully examined the surroundings. Finding no danger and noticing no one else in the area, she immediately took off her loose black outfit and carefully folded it, placing it aside.
"Yiran, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing her granddaughter suddenly take off her upper body clothes, Snake Granny Chaotianxiang was slightly taken aback, but the next moment, she suddenly couldn't speak.
"Grandma, look!"
As soon as Meng Yiran finished speaking, her spine suddenly bulged slightly, and a faint blue-gray soul light appeared, which then turned into a light purple light, gradually deepening and becoming more and more obvious.
As Meng Yiran's delicate body trembled, eight thick, purple spider legs, shaped like pillars, suddenly burst out from her body amidst the purple light, rapidly extending from her back.
In the blink of an eye, the purple spider legs had extended to a length of 1.5 meters, and then suddenly stretched out.
It doesn't stop there.
Immediately afterwards, the distal joint of the purple spider's leg suddenly extended outward by another 1.5 meters, revealing its sharpest point. Together, the two ends were a full three meters long.
These eight three-meter-long purple spider legs are the external soul bones that Meng Yiran obtained from the Human-Faced Demon Spider—the Eight Spider Spears.
Actively releasing the external soul bone Eight Spider Lances will not consume too much soul power.
Because the Eight Spider Lances inherently possess and store a portion of the Human-Faced Demon Spider's cultivation from its previous life, they can be easily released simply by using one's own soul power to communicate with and guide them.
Therefore, Meng Yiran did not find it difficult to actively release the Eight Spider Lances. Apart from feeling a little pain and numbness, she did not experience any other discomfort.
"Um--"
With a soft groan, the eight spider legs on Meng Yiran's back simultaneously stretched out to both sides of her body, like eight giant arms, surrounding her body in the center.
A faint purple light emanated from the eight spider legs, constantly flowing and swirling, as if shrouded in a layer of purple mist. The spider legs themselves looked like transparent amethyst, beautiful and dreamlike, yet giving people a feeling of unease.
"Yiran, what happened to you?"
The snake woman was stunned as she watched eight spider legs suddenly emerge from behind her granddaughter. After her lips trembled a few times, she finally asked a question.
"Grandma, don't be surprised. These eight spider legs are actually soul bones, and they are the most precious external soul bones among all soul bones."
Meng Yiran explained softly. Of course, she knew that she looked a bit strange now. In her grandmother's eyes, she might look like a spider woman.
"What?! This is an external soul bone?!"
Upon hearing this, Snake Granny Chaotianxiang immediately lost her composure and let out a startled exclamation.
Meng Yiran nodded affirmatively with a faint smile on her lips:
"Yes, this is what I obtained when I absorbed the Human-Faced Demon Spider's soul ring; it's called the Eight Spider Spears."
Afterwards, Meng Yiran demonstrated the terrifying power of the Eight Spider Spears to the Snake Granny, which made the Snake Granny exclaim in amazement.
A long time has passed.
Snake Granny Chaotianxiang looked at her granddaughter Meng Yiran, who had put away her external soul bone and put her clothes back on, and solemnly warned her:
"Still, this external soul bone should not be exposed for the time being, lest its existence attract the covetousness and plunder of others."
"This matter is only known to you, me, and your grandfather. Oh, and by the way, that Holy Son of the Spirit Hall named Ye Qifeng."
Upon hearing the Snake Granny mention Ye Qifeng, before she could finish speaking, Meng Yiran, in a moment of anxiety, immediately interrupted:
"Grandma, Brother Qifeng won't tell anyone. You and Grandpa, please don't cause him any trouble."
Meng Yiran knew that her grandparents were renowned in the Soul Master world and had the title of "Peerless Dragon and Snake".
However, this title is not entirely due to their strength; it is also partly related to their decisiveness and ruthlessness in their actions.
She was genuinely a little afraid that her grandparents would cause trouble for Ye Qifeng.
"Yiran, what are you talking about? When did I ever say I was going to go and cause trouble for your grandfather? What do you take your grandparents for?"
Snake Granny Chaotianxiang glared at Meng Yiran with annoyance. Why would I want to cause trouble for that kid?
Not to mention that he is the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, someone that neither your grandfather nor I can afford to offend.
The key point is that I still want him to be my grandson-in-law. If I go and cause him trouble, what if I anger him? Wouldn't that ruin everything? That's absolutely unacceptable.
"Oh, that's good."
Meng Yiran had no idea what the Snake Granny was thinking. She gently patted her swollen chest, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
Alas, daughters are gone once they grow up!
Seeing how worried Meng Yiran was about Ye Qifeng, the Snake Granny felt a mix of emotions. She could only sigh, shake her head slightly, and then say:
"Alright, Yiran, I won't say more about this. In short, before the external soul bone is fully integrated with your own bones, remember to keep it well hidden."
"Once we return to the Dragon Serpent Mansion, Grandma will immediately arrange for you to go into seclusion and try to integrate it as soon as possible, so that you won't have to worry about others coveting and taking it away."
Meng Yiran nodded slightly in agreement:
"Yes, Grandma, I know. Brother Qifeng has already told me about this."
Meng Yiran naturally had no objection to the arrangement for seclusion.
External soul bones differ from ordinary soul bones in that, in addition to their growth potential, they also possess a unique characteristic.
That is--
Once the external soul bone is perfectly integrated with the host's skeleton, it can no longer be stolen. Even if it is stolen, no one else can use it.
Because after the external soul bone is perfectly fused, it has already been marked with the original owner's mark, and this mark cannot be erased, so no one else can use it.
This means that Meng Yiran has only initially obtained the external soul bone of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, but this external soul bone does not yet truly belong to her and is still at risk of being plundered by others.
It must undergo constant refinement to gradually fit into one's own bones, eventually achieving a perfect fusion, only then can one truly possess it.
It's not just about external soul bones.
Meng Yiran's new martial soul and new soul skills also need to be carefully honed and mastered.
In addition, she also needs to diligently practice the mental cultivation methods of Returning to Origin Meditation and the mental manipulation techniques that Ye Qifeng taught her, and strive to master them as soon as possible.
"Since Ye Qifeng has already told you, Grandma won't go into details. Let's go back to your grandfather's place and tell him about it, so he can be happy too."
Snake Granny said with some amusement, “You really can’t stop talking about that kid Ye Qifeng, you even call him ‘brother’ now.”
It seems that I must help Yiran get this grandson-in-law, otherwise she will probably be heartbroken.
As the saying goes, love is the most touching thing, but also the most hurtful. She'll probably suffer a lot during the time she won't see Ye Qifeng. I hope she doesn't fall ill from lovesickness.
However, she does have one thing in common with me: good luck. She can meet a good husband just by going out casually. No wonder she's my granddaughter, hehehe. That's great!
"Um."
Meng Yiran quickly agreed, stepped forward and affectionately took the snake woman's arm, and together they walked out of the hiding place towards the location of the Dragon Lord.
"By the way, Grandma, when we get back, could you please order some special clothes for me? Otherwise, it will be difficult to use my Eight Spider Lances."
After leaving the hiding place, Meng Yiran remembered Ye Qifeng's suggestion about custom-made clothes and immediately brought it up with Snake Granny.
"That's true. There were indeed some problems when you released the Eight Spider Lances. When you get back, Grandma will immediately have someone make some special clothes for you."
Snake Woman immediately nodded in agreement, clearly aware of the side effect of the Eight Spider Spears—that they easily ruin clothes.
Suddenly, she paused, her gaze falling on Meng Yiran, landing on her slightly loose black outfit, and her expression became subtle.
No wonder he was still wearing such an ill-fitting outfit. Judging by the size, it must have been Ye Qifeng's.
So, wouldn't it still be...?
"Yiran, why are you wearing such ill-fitting clothes? Did Grandma make these for you?"
The old woman smiled knowingly and asked a meaningful question.
"Grandma, this dress was given to me by Brother Qifeng. All my clothes were destroyed by the Eight Spider Lances."
Meng Yiran blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed, but she answered her grandmother's question truthfully.
"So, Yiran, was your body... taken by him?"
Although she had expected it, the Snake Woman still asked the question.
Although she didn't say everything she wanted to say, she believed her granddaughter understood what she meant.
"Um."
Meng Yiran's pretty face instantly flushed red, and she gave a soft "hmm" in a voice barely audible. She looked a little hesitant, but in the end, she told her grandmother the truth.
As they spoke, Meng Yiran and the Snake Granny had already returned to the Dragon Lord's presence.
"Yiran, what's wrong? Why is your face so red? Did something happen?"
Seeing his granddaughter's flushed face, Long Gong Meng Shu assumed that something was wrong with her health and immediately became nervous.
Snake Granny hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Dragon Duke, explaining the reason to him. She also told him in detail about Meng Yiran obtaining the external soul bone of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
"What?! That kid still saw me naked?!"
Upon hearing that his granddaughter had obtained an extremely precious external soul bone, Dragon Lord Meng Shu was naturally overjoyed. However, after hearing Snake Granny's explanation of why his granddaughter's cheeks were so red, he could no longer be happy and flew into a rage.
"Damn it! You brat, I'll never forgive you!"
Long Gong gritted his teeth, turned to look at Meng Yiran, and said in a loud voice:
"Yiran, don't worry, Grandpa will definitely stand up for you."
"That kid shouldn't have gone far. I'll go and bring him back right now."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to grab the person.
"grandfather."
Meng Yiran gave a coquettish laugh, reached out her small hand, and grabbed him, preventing him from going to find Ye Qifeng. She was too shy and anxious, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
The Snake Woman was more composed and stepped forward to stop the Dragon King:
"Old man, why did you go and grab him?"
Long Gong Meng Shu said matter-of-factly:
"Why? Of course, we should make him take responsibility."
The snake woman slapped him on the shoulder in an annoyed tone:
"Haven't you heard that forced love isn't sweet? If you try to kidnap that kid, he definitely won't be willing. Instead, he'll think we're unreasonable and leave a bad impression on him."
"Wouldn't that ruin everything?"
"Besides, as I said before, they have already agreed on a time for their next meeting, so there's no rush."
As the snake woman spoke, she secretly winked at the dragon king.
Seeing the look his wife gave him, Long Gong's anger dissipated considerably, and he slapped his forehead:
"Yes, yes, look at me, I almost made a big mistake. It's Xiang'er who had foresight."
The snake woman ignored him and turned to look at her granddaughter:
"Ranyi, now that we've obtained the spirit ring, let's head back to the Dragon Serpent Mansion."
"The Star Dou Great Forest has been very dangerous lately because the King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape, suddenly ran out from the depths, causing chaos throughout the forest. Even some ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts have run out from the depths of the forest to the outer areas."
"Although the chaos caused by the soul beasts has subsided somewhat, no one knows what other changes might occur. It would be best if we left this place as soon as possible."
