42 External Spirit Bone

Next day, everyone woke up early in the morning and gathered in training ground as they knew that soon they were going to start a sparring session. Yu Xiaogang was already waiting for them in the training ground. He saw that everyone was present and said, "Now, we will start a mock battle. Tang San will fight against Dai Mubai; Ma Hongjun will fight against Xiao Wu; Rongrong, Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing will fight against Long Tian."

All of them still called him by 'Long Tian' name because his other real identity was a taboo and it would be foolish of them to use his real name in a casual conversation as they could slip it to someone by mistake.

"Alright then, Tang San and Dai Mubai. Both of you step forward." Tang San and Dai Mubai stepped forwards, both of them stared at each other and gave a challenging smile.

Yu Xiaogang looked towards Tang San and said, "Tang San, you are forbidden from using your Hidden Weapons and your third Spirit Ring." Tang San nodded but Dai Mubai disagreed and said, "But, it would be unfair for Tang San to be forbidden from using his 3rd Spirit Ring. It would give me an unfair advantage over him due to my high Spirit Rank."

Yu Xiaogang looked at him and replied, "Alright then, since Dai Mubai thinks that it's an unfair advantage for him then Tang San, you can use your 3rd Spirit Skill." Tang San nodded as he looked at Dai Mubai.

Then Yu Xiaogang announced, "Ready, start!"

Dai Mubai quickly used his Beast Spirit and rushed towards Tang San. He wanted to have the first attack in their exchange, Tang San jumped back as he saw him approaching and used his Blue Silver Grass to restrict him from coming near himself.

It worked fine at first but then, Dai Mubai used his White Tiger Vajra Transformation and ripped through the Blue Silver Grass which bound him. He once again charged at Tang San but this time he just nimbly dodged to the side and used his Spirit Skill, Spider Web Restraint.

A Spider Web made of the Blue Silver Grass was launched towards Dai Mubai, who was surprised but quickly ducked under the Spider Web as it flew by and used his own Spirit Ability, White Tiger Intense Light Wave.

A brilliant light beam rushed towards Tang San who was surprised to see that Dai Mubai was able to react to his surprise attack and countered with such swiftness. When he was about to dodge the attack, he felt itching on his back as if something was trying to come out and tried to control it but it was useless as 8 Spider Legs emerged from his back while ripping his shirt and confronted the White Tiger Intense Light Wave.

Everyone were bewildered when they saw those spider legs, especially Yu Xiaogang as he knew that it was an External Spirit Bone which was pretty rare. But, Dai Mubai didn't know much about these Spirit Bone and blocked its attack with his fist.

Ryusei observed the that Dai Mubai's hand turned purple, it didn't seem like Dai Mubai noticed because he had a weak poison resistant ability due to his Spirit. Ryusei knew that if the match continued then Dai Mubai would most likely be in danger because of the poison's effects.

He looked towards Yu Xiaogang and saw him looking at himself, both of them nodded towards each other and Ryusei disappeared from his position and reached in between Tang San and Dai Mubai positions.

He held Dai Mubai's hands and raised his hand and said, "STOP THE MATCH!" This got everyone's attention towards him, they were still surprised over the Tang San's Spider legs when they suddenly heard Ryusei's voice.

When they looked at Dai Mubai's hands, they saw that his hand had turned slightly purple. All of them were a bit curious about what it was and suddenly, Dai Mubai fainted as he couldn't oppose the poison anymore.

Ryusei looked towards Yu Xiaogang and said to him, "How are we going to cure him?" Yu Xiaogang then looked at Tang San and said, "You were the one who poisoned him with your external spirit bone. You should be able to remove his poison from his body."

Tang San was hesitating as he was nervous about the method, but Grandmaster's eyes turned sharp as he said, "Just follow your instincts." Tang San silently nodded and soon two legs of his External Spirit Bone neared the slightly stabbed the area of poisoning on Mubai's body.

Ryusei could see a purple liquid being sucked out of Dai Mubai's body, he too was curious about this External Spirit Bone. He had never seen anything like this, even though he himself had two spirit bones. They just helped him with their passive abilities by increasing his speed.

They didn't give him the abilities that the External Spirit Bones gives. After some time, Dai Mubai woke up as he looked around and noticed everyone looking at him. He said, "What happened? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ryusei explained him, "Well, you were poisoned by Tang San's spider legs and we were watching the method with which he absorbed back the poison in your body."

Everyone around him nodded as well. They were just as curious about how Tang San used those two legs of his Spider Spirit Bones and absorbed the poison from Dai Mubai's body.

Suddenly, the Eight Legs started to go out of Tang San's control and he was about to hit others but, Ryusei kicked Tang San away before he could hurt anyone. Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and said, "Tang San, quickly withdraw your Spirit power. This Spirit Bone activated because you used your Spirit Energy to protect yourself against Dai Mubai's attack. It should retract when you stop supplying it Spirit power."

Tang San obeyed his words and soon enough the Eight Legs started to retract in his back and he let out a sigh of relief. Yu Xiaogang looked at him with amazement and said, "I really didn't expect that you got an External Spirit Bone of that Man Faced Demon Spider. An External Spirit Bone is really rare and precious."

Then, Yu Xiaogang thought of special training method for all of them. He turned towards each of them and said, "All your spars are cancelled. You will… make food for teachers in the academy."

He turned towards Dai Mubai and said, "You are in charge of Kneading the Dough." He then looked towards Ma Hongjun and said, "You will be heating the food and serve it to everyone."

When they heard him, they were surprised and turned towards Ryusei, Yu Xiaogang noticed this and said, "What happened? Why are you turning towards him?"

Zhu Zhuqing said, "It is because when he first met with Ma Hongjun, he also asked fatty to make food for everyone as punishment. I wonder if he had the same idea as yours."

Yu Xiaogang turned towards Ryusei and thought 'He actually gave him similar punishment. Did he also found that Ma Hongjun didn't have enough control over his fire and intentionally gave him this punishment?'

Ryusei saw where the conversation was going and he didn't want to show Yu Xiaogang too much of his abilities and explained, "It was because he was eating everyone else's food. So, I thought that it would be a good punishment for him to make food for everyone."

Yu Xiaogang thought that it was a reasonable punishment and nodded as he felt that it was impossible for someone to know of this with a single look. He himself could only devised this training method because he saw that Ma Hongjun's Spirit Control was shit, so he couldn't even exert his complete strength.
