Chapter 67: Ning Rongrong - Brother, Are You a Spirit Beast?
Ding-Dong!
"Since the host possesses the external spirit bone, Purple Cloud Wing, according to the system's preferential selection rules, the system will automatically replace it with the Dragon Phoenix Ancient Wing. The Purple Cloud Wing will be removed and stored in the host's storage spirit guide. If the host has no objections within three seconds, the system will execute the change."
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
Ye Feng counted silently in his heart.
Three seconds later, a warm sensation spread across his back. It wasn't unpleasant—rather, it was refreshing, like a cooling balm being rubbed into his skin. Then, the warmth deepened, turning into a powerful surge of energy.
Ye Feng felt his spirit bone changing, growing stronger in ways he couldn't describe.
At the same time, a dark light flickered from his back, traveling along his arm and vanishing into the jade bracelet on his left wrist.
Ye Feng closed his eyes and focused. Inside the storage space of his spirit guide, he found a new scroll resting within.
When he opened his eyes again, Tang San had already absorbed his third spirit ring and obtained his external spirit bone.
"Xiao San, use your mind to absorb the external spirit bone fully," Zhao Wuji instructed, his face full of satisfaction. Seeing two students from Shrek Academy obtain external spirit bones in one day? That was a huge deal.
Tang San followed the instructions, pulling the Eight Spider Lances into his body. As the spider legs retracted, two small bumps remained on his back, slightly altering his overall appearance.
Both Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing frowned, clearly noticing the change in his back's appearance.
Even though Tang San had gained a powerful spirit bone, it came with a price—his back looked a little strange now.
Ye Feng glanced at Tang San and smirked slightly. Any trace of envy he might've felt was completely gone.
Eight Spider Lances?
With the Dragon Phoenix Ancient Wing in his arsenal, he didn't need to feel jealous. If anything, he knew his external spirit bone was even more powerful.
"Xiao San, congratulations," Dai Mubai said, clapping Tang San on the shoulder.
"Thanks." Tang San grinned, but his gaze drifted toward Ye Feng.
For the first time, he felt like he had something that Ye Feng didn't have. A rare victory.
That thought pleased him.
Little did he know…
Ye Feng already possessed an external spirit bone—one that outclassed his.
"Xiao San, don't get ahead of yourself. Keep working hard," Zhao Wuji warned. "Your journey's just started. You'll need to collect your fourth, fifth, and even more spirit rings in the future. Your goal is to become a powerful Titled Douluo."
"I will, Teacher Zhao." Tang San's voice was firm, determination burning in his eyes.
Fourth spirit ring? Fifth spirit ring?
Ye Feng's expression flickered as he muttered internally.
If nothing unexpected happens, Tang San's fourth spirit ring will come from a ten-thousand-year Crypt Demon Spider, and his fifth will be from the second awakening of his Blue Silver Grass into the Blue Silver Emperor, using the Blue Silver King's spirit ring.
Seriously, how much luck can one guy have? Twin spirits, top-tier skills from the Tang Sect, and the damn Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline?
Ding-Dong!
"The system senses the host's envy of Tang San's luck. As your golden cheat, the system disapproves of such feelings."
"What's so special about the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline? The system will now awaken the Nine Hearts Mysterious Tang Emperor bloodline for the host!"
"Emperor bloodline?!"
Ye Feng's eyes widened, his mind blanking for a moment.
Before he could even react, a strange wave of energy pulsed out from his body, spreading far and wide—reaching out tens of miles into the surrounding area.
The grass, trees, and plants all responded to this energy, glowing with a faint, mysterious light.
Tiny particles of light began to drift from the vegetation, pulled by an invisible force, and slowly merged into Ye Feng's body.
"What the hell?!"
Dai Mubai's jaw almost hit the floor.
"What's going on with these lights?" Oscar frowned, completely baffled.
Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, wasn't confused—she was stunned.
"So… beautiful!" she gasped, mesmerized by the scene.
But while everyone was shocked, Xiao Wu's expression changed dramatically.
Her body stiffened as she stared at Ye Feng, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.
"This… could it be…?"
A terrifying possibility crossed her mind.
Her gaze snapped to Ye Feng, full of disbelief.
Then, she shook her head.
"No way… that's impossible… Brother Ye Feng is actually…?"
"Tang San!" Xiao Wu suddenly blurted out.
Tang San frowned, his Purple Demon Eye activating as he observed the strange energy surrounding Ye Feng.
Then, his face darkened.
"Spirit condensation?!"
"What?!"
"Condensing a spirit ring?!"
"That's impossible!"
Oscar and the others were dumbfounded.
"Boss Ye didn't kill any spirit beasts, so how the hell could he be condensing a spirit ring?!"
Tang San's gaze remained locked onto Ye Feng. A thought crept into his mind—one that he wasn't sure he wanted to acknowledge.
"Teacher once told me… some transformed spirit beasts only become indistinguishable from humans after reaching level 60 and obtaining six spirit rings."
"Before that, they can obtain spirit rings naturally without hunting spirit beasts, and their spirit rings will always perfectly match their abilities."
"...You're saying Boss Ye might be a transformed spirit beast?!"
Oscar's voice was full of shock.
Tang San didn't answer directly. Instead, he responded cautiously:
"I'm just saying… it's a possibility."
At those words, Dragon Duke Meng Shu's eyes narrowed, and his gaze locked onto Ye Feng with intense scrutiny.
"Old man?" Chaotianxiang, the Snake Lady, called out in confusion.
Meng Shu shook his head slightly.
He was an 85th-level Spirit Douluo—if Ye Feng were really a spirit beast, he would have sensed it immediately.
But he felt nothing unusual about Ye Feng's presence.
So… what the hell was going on?
Just as Meng Shu pondered, his gaze suddenly shifted—this time, to Xiao Wu.
His pupils shrank.
Murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
He took a step forward, his grip tightening on his dragon-headed cane.
Even his hands were shaking slightly.
Xiao Wu felt his gaze pierce through her.
A shiver ran down her spine, and she lowered her head, moving quietly behind Zhao Wuji.
Meanwhile, Tang San noticed Meng Shu's sudden hostility toward Xiao Wu.
His heart pounded as he followed the old man's gaze.
Why is Senior Meng Shu staring at Xiao Wu like that? Like he wants to… kill her?
A horrifying thought took root in Tang San's mind.
Could it be… Xiao Wu… is actually… a transformed spirit beast?
For a split second, his mind replayed everything—her strange abilities, her connection with the Titan Giant Ape, and her impossibly powerful ten-thousand-year spirit ring…
When something seems off, there's usually a damn good reason for it.
And right now, Tang San was starting to connect the dots.
