Soul Land: Legend of the Spider Emperor

"He... he's alright."

"Yesterday, Ye Hao had a fierce battle with Xiao Wu, and his Death Spider Emperor martial soul was incredibly powerful. He defeated Xiao Wu with almost no effort."

The Master's expression remained indifferent, showing no surprise. Joking aside, how could her son be ordinary?

"What about the girl named Xiao Wu? How strong is she?"

The Master began to focus on understanding Xiao Wu, not her true identity, and even if Xiao Wu stood right in front of the Master, could she see through her?

Tang San patiently responded, "I had a match with Xiao Wu last night. She is very strong, and she also has full innate soul power and a hundred-year soul ring."

As soon as these words were spoken, even the Master couldn't help but be shocked. Wow, are these new students so amazing?

Three of them with full innate spirit power, and one even has a hundred-year soul ring.

She truly had misjudged them...

"Now that I think about it carefully, do you still think Ye Hao is simple? He knows about soul beasts, and he even knows a lot about hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. He claims to be an orphan, but the teacher doesn't believe it."

The Master was almost certain that Ye Hao was her son. Trouble! Trouble!

(Bibi Dong: ???)

"The Devouring... Devouring Spider Emperor?"

The Master's mouth went dry, whispering to herself.

Time had passed so quickly. She had even gotten married and given birth to this "Ye Hao" monster.

"The Master" had a vacant look in his eyes, as if transported back to his youthful days. Unfortunately, he could never return to that time.

Through the guidance of "The Master," Tang San gradually changed his perception of "Ye Hao." This person was definitely not ordinary. Whether it was his skills or background, it seemed that there was more to him than met the eye.

Before long, Ye Hao returned after resolving the issue. He glanced at the jade belt around Tang San's waist, confirming that it was indeed the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges. Well, if it's meant to be yours, it will be. If it's not, you can't force it.

Time passed second by second, and the carriage became eerily quiet. Ye Hao closed his eyes to rest, while Tang San focused intently on the books brought by "The Master," trying to gain as much knowledge as possible about soul masters.

Meanwhile, "The Master" occasionally cast glances at Ye Hao, as if he resembled her in some way.

Ye Hao felt a shiver run down his spine, as if a pervert was staring at him.

The forest was silent, yet the scene before them was starkly different.

Ye Hao walked along a small path near the Hunting Soul Forest, where many people crowded the main roads. Some continuously shouted, selling weapons designed for capturing soul beasts, while others sought additional members for their team of soul masters.

The shops displayed a dazzling array of goods, and the diverse crowd made it hard to believe that this place was a forest.

"Let's move quickly; there's nothing here that we need," urged The Master." Tang San hastened his steps, and Ye Hao followed calmly. In his leisure moments, he glanced at both sides of the road, reminiscent of the bustling marketplace in his previous life.

The prices here were twice as high as in Nuoding City, but money came easily for soul masters. What was a small expenditure in order to hunt suitable soul beasts?

Surrounding the Hunting Soul Forest was a massive "cage," with over a hundred soldiers wearing exquisite armor patrolling in an orderly fashion. They held long spears, their military demeanor disciplined and emanating a stern aura of killing.

This place served as the Empire's breeding ground for soul beasts, with a significant number of ten-year soul beasts and some hundred-year soul beasts. It was estimated that the more powerful soul beasts resided deeper within the forest, closer to its central region.

The Master stepped forward and handed the token to the soldier for inspection.

The soldier immediately became alert and greeted them, opening the iron gate. Inside was a dense forest with countless unknown dangers.

As mentioned by "The Master" earlier, there was something special about the token in his hand. The patterns on the token determined a person's status, and the granted privileges varied accordingly.

The highest token was the Pope's Token, with six patterns representing the six mighty Title Douluo.

On the day Tang San's father left, he didn't forget to give this token to "The Master," serving as an invisible protection.

The Pope's Token held supreme status, and the person in possession of it was at least an Elder of the Martial Soul Hall, symbolizing a position second only to the Pope.

The forest path was tranquil and lined with towering trees that reached into the sky.

The Master led the way, with Tang San and Ye Hao following closely behind. Along the way, The Master explained everything in the surroundings, and Ye Hao reluctantly listened.

At that moment, The Master's eyes lit up, and she clasped her hands in front of her chest before quickly letting go. "Come out, Luo San Pao."

A creature resembling a dog but with a body as fat as a pig appeared. It had purple fur all over its body, naturally drooping ears, two pairs of blinking blue eyes, a wobbling fat bottom swaying from side to side as it walked, and a bulge on its head. As soon as it appeared, it rubbed its head against The Master's feet.

Ye Hao: This is quite an eye-opener...

Tang San: Is this really our teacher's martial soul? Did I make a mistake in choosing my teacher?

The Master: ...

The Master forced a smile. "Don't pay it any mind. The strength of a martial soul and the level of soul power can't truly determine a person. I still have some skills left to demonstrate, you know?"

Tang San: (☆o☆)

Ye Hao: (⚆ᗝ⚆)

Tang San: Um...

Cough cough, let's continue walking. San Pao, lead the way ahead.

"The Master's" martial soul is a variant martial soul, so in terms of innate soul power, it's half a level, commonly known as 0.5 level.

This is a stain that "The Master" can never wash away in her lifetime. Despite being the son of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect Master, he is still criticized by others.

While others awaken as dragons, you awakened as a pig—a farting pig.

Who's there?

Tang San furrowed his brow and looked at the agile grass in front, while the three of them instantly became alert. This place wasn't a city but a forest, the forest of soul beasts. Although it was under direct jurisdiction of the empire, there were still many examples of people being attacked and killed by soul beasts throughout the year.

One could only blame their bad luck or insufficient strength.

Suddenly, three wolves leaped out of the bushes, glaring at the three of them, and San Pao growled back defiantly.

"The Master's" eyes lit up. "Just three ten year Shadow Wolves dare to attack?"

Finally, it was her turn to perform. Watch closely!

"San Pao, get ready..."

"Huh?"

Before "The Master" could react, Ye Hao instantly completed the fusion with the Death Spider Emperor.

A black armor attached itself to his chest, his face was covered, eight black spider spears grew from his back, and even his hands were the same. His arms were covered in thorns, emanating the aura of the Death Spider Emperor, instantly filling the entire forest.

The three Shadow Wolves whimpered. It's over, Barbie Q.

They only came out to scare people. It's not necessary to risk their lives, right?
