Douluo Dalu: Every Breath Steals Tang San's Women

Chapter 133: The Fated Man Faced Demon Spider

Tang San had achieved a Breakthrough to 30th-level spirit power, but given his condition—heavily injured and yet to recover—he was unable to immediately head out to hunt Spirit Beasts.

To recover his body as quickly as possible, he circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill day and night, using its balanced and peaceful spirit power to accelerate his physical healing.

At the same time, under the care of Shao Xin, a food system Spirit Saint, Tang San’s bones and internal organs healed rapidly.

After about ten days, Tang San had finally managed to recover.

Once his body was restored, Tang San was impatient to hunt a Spirit Beast and absorb a spirit ring to become a Spirit Elder.

In addition, there was Oscar at Shrek Academy, who had also reached a Breakthrough from 29th-level spirit power to 30th-level spirit power.

To help Tang San and Oscar hunt Spirit Beasts, Yu Xiaogang and Flender discussed the matter and immediately decided to set out for the Star Dou Great Forest.

Zhao Wuji was still unconscious and needed someone by his side to care for him, so Shao Xin had to stay behind.

As a Support Soul Master, Shao Xin lacked any combat ability, so Lu Qibin was also required to stay.

The final decision was made!

For this Spirit Beast hunt, Flender would personally lead the team. Since he had lost a hand and his strength was significantly affected, he would also bring Teacher Li Yusong along just in case.

The other members included Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun.

After they set out, they continued Shrek Academy’s tradition of stinginess; they didn’t ride horses or rent a carriage, relying entirely on their own two legs to run toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

This really put Yu Xiaogang through the wringer!

Though Flender and Teacher Li Yusong were older, their cultivation was profound.

With long breaths and astonishing endurance, running several hundred kilometers to the Star Dou Great Forest was no problem at all for them.

Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun, while their cultivation wasn’t yet that deep—being only Spirit Grandmasters and Spirit Elders—were very young, all teenagers between 12 and 15 years old.

Brimming with physical strength and recovering quickly, and occasionally eating one of Oscar’s Big Recovery Sausages, running several hundred kilometers to the Star Dou Great Forest was likewise no problem for them.

Only Yu Xiaogang, who was older, had declining bodily functions, and possessed poor strength—with spirit power at only level 29—hadn’t even run a few dozen kilometers before his face turned deathly pale. He panted like a bull, his legs felt as heavy as lead, and he collapsed onto the ground like a dead dog.

Flender looked on with pity and wanted to rent a carriage for Yu Xiaogang, but Yu Xiaogang refused.

Everyone else was running; if he alone took a carriage, wouldn’t it look like he was getting special treatment?

He wanted to stand up, but his legs were as soft as noodles, and he couldn’t stand at all.

With no other choice, Tang San carried Yu Xiaogang on his back and continued the journey toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

The small group of three—Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun—couldn’t help but start whispering behind Yu Xiaogang’s back when they saw this scene.

His strength was just too pathetic!

He had only run a few dozen kilometers and was already exhausted to this extent!

They had originally thought that since he could train a Disciple like Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, as a teacher, must surely be a powerful expert.

They hadn’t expected him to be a waste...

This caused the three of them to feel extreme contempt for Yu Xiaogang.

In their daily interactions, they showed him no respect whatsoever.

The journey continued, running from morning until afternoon, until the group finally arrived at a small town outside the Star Dou Great Forest.

As the sky was gradually darkening, they stayed in the town for one night.

Unlike the original plot, they didn’t encounter Canghui Academy, so they didn’t provoke anyone, and the night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, they set out again and entered the Star Dou Great Forest.

Because of Lu Chen’s interference, Tang San had been heavily injured, and it took half a month for his body to recover.

This caused the Shrek group’s entry into the Star Dou Great Forest to be delayed by about half a month.

They did not encounter that injured Cockscomb Phoenix-Tailed Serpent like in the original plot.

However, after half a day of searching, they found a green scorpion about 1.5 meters long.

This scorpion, of course, could not be one of the Three Heavens of the Extreme North.

Yu Xiaogang took it upon himself to introduce it:

"This scorpion is called the Emerald Poison Scorpion. Its emerald-green shell has incredibly astonishing defensive power. The Emerald Poison Scorpion possesses a mild toxin, but it is primarily a paralyzing venom and is not fatal."

"Judging by the size of the Emerald Poison Scorpion, its cultivation is around 1,500 years, which is just right to serve as Oscar’s third spirit ring."

Oscar muttered in a low voice:

"My Sausage Spirit is a food system Spirit. Won’t there really be a problem if I absorb a poisonous Emerald Poison Scorpion spirit ring?"

Yu Xiaogang’s eyes widened as he looked over:

"That’s absolutely impossible. A paralyzing venom is not a fatal toxin; it won’t have any negative impact on you."

Since Yu Xiaogang said so, out of trust for him, Flender and Teacher Li Yusong worked together to heavily injure the 1,500-year Emerald Poison Scorpion.

Finally, they let Oscar deliver the finishing blow!

After killing the Emerald Poison Scorpion, a purple thousand-year spirit ring condensed from its corpse.

Oscar was a little nervous, but since the spirit ring had already condensed, he couldn’t just let it dissipate.

He sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the thousand-year spirit ring of the Emerald Poison Scorpion.

After five hours of absorption, Oscar successfully absorbed the thousand-year spirit ring and officially became a food system Spirit Elder.

When he opened his eyes and woke up, everyone else looked at him.

Oscar didn’t hide anything and introduced his Spirit Ability to the group:

"My third Spirit Ability is called the Paralysis Emerald Sausage. After eating it, an emerald shell will condense on the surface of your body, increasing your defensive power."

"At the same time, you’ll be poisoned. The paralyzing venom will make your movements sluggish, reducing your speed by 20%, but you’ll gain 20% in the resilience attribute, and your ability to withstand hits will be enhanced."

Overall, this could be considered a very good Spirit Ability.

However, reducing speed by 20% was a very serious negative effect.

In intense combat, every second counts. If you are faster and can seize an opponent’s flaw, you might defeat them in a single wave.

Whether it was worth trading 20% speed for 20% resilience in this Paralysis Emerald Sausage was hard to say.

But since this was a Spirit Beast selected by Yu Xiaogang, Flender naturally had to support him:

"Hahaha, Little Ao, this skill is quite good! It can significantly boost defensive capabilities. I’m sure it will produce unexpected effects in actual combat later."

"Now that you’ve successfully absorbed your spirit ring, we should continue our journey to find a suitable Spirit Beast for Tang San."

With Flender’s support, Yu Xiaogang’s expression finally looked a bit better:

"Then let’s set out. I will definitely pick the most suitable Spirit Beast for Little San."

The group then set out again, heading deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest to find a suitable Spirit Beast for Tang San.

They searched until evening but couldn’t find a suitable Spirit Beast.

As it was already dark, they set up camp on the spot, preparing to rest for the night and continue the search at dawn.

Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were divided into two pairs; one pair would watch the first half of the night, and the other would watch the second half.

As the main combat power of the team, Flender and Teacher Li Yusong needed to stay fully energized, so they weren’t assigned night watch duties.

As for Yu Xiaogang, his strength was too poor. If they left the night watch to such a waste, they might not even know how they died.

Late into the night, Tang San and Oscar were still patrolling near the camp.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the surroundings. The sound was very faint, and Oscar didn’t notice it at all, but Tang San, with his ability to identify positions through sound, noticed the slight movement.

"Oscar, get out of the way!"

Tang San pushed Oscar aside and then dodged using the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

Right where they had been standing, a large, dark purple web spread out. If Tang San hadn’t reacted in time, they would have been trapped inside the web.

In that purple spider web, droplets of slime fell to the ground, emitting puffs of white smoke. Even the ground showed signs of corrosion.

What a terrifyingly corrosive poison!

Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye and looked in the direction from which the web had flown. In the darkness, he saw a black spider about 1.5 meters in size walking out of the shadows.

This black spider was covered in a black shell. On its lower abdomen, there were white patterns forming a hideous human face.

Above its eight purple eyes was a transparent protective layer. Around its body, long legs could silently pierce into the ground.

Seeing this Spirit Beast, Tang San’s expression was first solemn, but then he showed a hint of joy.

A spirit ring suitable for him—wasn’t it just delivered to his doorstep!

This was the creature known as the nightmare of small Spirit Beasts...

The Man Faced Demon Spider!
