[God King of Destruction 002] was right. In addition to muting, he could also kick people.
But now, with so few viewers, and not enough wool to be pulled, how could he let them go?
However…
If you're being stingy, don't blame me for using you as an example!
"Ah!!!"
A miserable scream.
It was Tang San, who had finally made up his mind and launched the Eight Spider Lances.
The external soul bone connected to the spinal cord in a harsh manner, causing Meng Yiran to scream in pain.
Her body was greatly enhanced, with the 2000-year soul ring working smoothly.
Otherwise, with such distraction, the soul ring would have exploded by now.
But there were benefits.
The same-source external soul bone and soul ring stimulated each other, possibly leading to unexpected surprises.
Diyi Hong walked over and patted Meng Yiran on the head.
"Your Excellency!" Meng Shu restrained him, "Yiran needs to absorb the soul ring and soul bone, so it's best not to disturb her."
Diyi Hong glanced at him sideways.
Still hasn't figured out his place?
Dare to yap while I'm doing my thing?
He warned, "This is the first and last time."
Meng Shu's old face showed anger, but he quickly suppressed it.
Since becoming a Soul Douluo and earning the title of Dragon Duke, he had never felt so humiliated!
Diyi Hong ignored him and looked down—
"Don't resist my power. I will make you stronger."
He reached out again, pressing his hand on Meng Yiran's head.
With a flick of his thoughts, Meng Yiran disappeared and was sucked into the artifact ring.
Chao Tianxiang gasped!
"Where did she go?"
But with Meng Shu's case in front of her, she didn't dare to ask further.
Fortunately, someone was brave enough to speak up.
"She disappeared?" Tang San said in surprise. "A storage soul tool can't store living people. What's going on?"
Diyi Hong glanced at Tang San, surprised by his curiosity.
His spiritual power entered the artifact ring as he silently counted.
About 20 seconds later.
Due to the 366-fold time difference in the Divine Realm fragments, over an hour had already passed inside.
Meng Yiran stopped trembling. Eight protrusions suddenly formed on her back, and then—
"Riiip—"
Her upper clothes were torn apart. Eight deep purple spider legs stretched out, each 3 meters long, lifting her off the ground, making her float in midair.
External Soul Bone: Eight Spider Lances!
Diyi Hong had seen this a lot, so he wasn't particularly concerned.
But Meng Yiran's torn clothes…
Well, that's quite something.
That snake-like waist and the little dip… not bad, not bad.
He admired her for a few moments.
Then, Diyi Hong vanished from his spot, reappearing in the Divine Realm fragments.
He looked down at the artifact ring. It worked well.
If he encountered something he couldn't beat, he could hide in here.
Unfortunately, it wasn't for him to use. His equipment was so luxurious that even Qian Daoliu would have to take a beating.
Meng Yiran was still unaware of Diyi Hong's presence and was marveling at the power of the Eight Spider Lances.
"Cough!"
Only then did she notice Diyi Hong, her expression full of excitement.
"These Eight Spider Lances are just too strong!"
"Just 2000 years, and it grants me a 50% boost in all attributes? The venom of the lances itself combined with my Snake Staff can devour toxins, soul power, and life force to enhance its own age!"
"This is what an external soul bone is like—so powerful!"
Meng Yiran puffed out her chest and spoke confidently.
The scene made Diyi Hong uncomfortable to watch.
He reminded her, "Maybe you should look down?"
Instinctively, Meng Yiran looked down, her expression freezing in shock.
"Ah!!!"
A few minutes later.
Having retracted the Eight Spider Lances, Meng Yiran had put on a new dress and dared not meet Diyi Hong's gaze.
Diyi Hong remained silent, patiently waiting for something.
The atmosphere grew awkward.
"Maybe we should say something?" Meng Yiran muttered, "Otherwise, this feels even stranger."
"Nothing to say." Diyi Hong casually replied, "Anyway, after you leave, you won't remember this."
"Ah?"
Meng Yiran looked confused. She wasn't that forgetful!
Diyi Hong didn't respond to her thoughts.
He couldn't be bothered to explain.
The God of Emotion had given this artifact ring a "Memory Reduction" function.
It allowed Diyi Hong to control what memories people kept when they entered or exited, and anything else would be erased.
Why?
You'll find out soon.
Meng Yiran, seeing that Diyi Hong wasn't speaking, became a bit irritated.
But she didn't dare to take her anger out on Diyi Hong, so she started experimenting with her third soul skill.
A purple light lit up, and her Snake Staff weapon absorbed the purple glow, faintly flashing with eerie light.
It sent a chill down people's spines.
It made sense.
The Spider King's four great skills—two of them took a thousand years to activate, while the others, like the spider venom and webs, could be used with the thousand-year quality.
The Snake Staff definitely couldn't create webs, so it had to be related to venom.
Meng Yiran wielded the Snake Staff, her eyes occasionally glancing at Diyi Hong, poking, slashing, thrusting, and stabbing.
She moved with the wind.
Diyi Hong wasn't bothered and even began to appreciate her form, almost like a martial dance.
Until—
[User "Phoenix God" sent a gift: "Self-created Soul Skill: Eight Spider Lances Combat Spear" ×1]
["Phoenix God": Host, this is a soul skill I just created. It's of higher quality than Fusion Rings, but a bit weaker than Explosion Rings.]
It's here!
Why was he so confident that Meng Yiran could easily defeat Tang San?
Because of this!
The gods had tailored a custom self-created soul skill for the Eight Spider Lances—how could it lose?
[User "God of Speed" sent a gift: "Self-created Soul Skill: Eight Spider Lances Dance" ×1]
["God of Speed": Too little time to refine it. It's below divine skills but comparable to Fatty's skills.]
'It's fine,' Diyi Hong smiled, 'If it were a divine skill, Meng Yiran wouldn't learn it so quickly, but self-created soul skills are just right.'
[User "God King of Destruction 002" sent a gift: "Divine Skill: Eight Spider Rift" ×1]
["God King of Destruction 002": It's barely a divine skill, on par with Explosion Rings in the mortal realm. With some practice, you could master it.]
Well then!
The slap to the face came fast.
Diyi Hong silently extracted three abilities.
This time, it was the ability of "Cutting"—all the inspiration, experience, and processes were fully understood.
Though it was created based on the Eight Spider Lances, it could be adapted to other weapons or even used barehanded.
However, the power would be greatly reduced.
For ordinary soul masters, this could be life-changing.
But Diyi Hong didn't care.
He processed it briefly.
Then, he sent a wave of emotion divine consciousness, transferring all the related information to Meng Yiran.
He instructed her—
"Two self-created soul skills and one divine skill. You should practice them here."
"Until you've fully mastered them, I won't let you out."
With a flash, he returned to the outside world.
It startled everyone.
Meng Shu and his wife wanted to speak but remained silent as Diyi Hong ignored them.
Diyi Hong opened the livestream.
"Everyone, I'm going to start speeding up time using my divine sense. You'll need to reimburse me later!"
["Phoenix God": No problem! Hurry up! I want to see the girl thoroughly defeat Tang San!]
["Nine-Colored Goddess": Yes, yes! Hurry up!]
["God of Speed": Faster, faster! I can't wait!]
