The bloody slaughter in the swamp ended with Fang Chang as the undisputed victor.

He glanced at his current status and skills panel, marveling at how much he had grown compared to when he first arrived in the world of Douluo over a month ago.

If measured by human soul master standards, his soul power now rivaled a freshly advanced Rank 50 Soul King.

However, soul beasts were inherently stronger than humans at the same level, and having undergone two major evolutions, Fang Chang's bloodline was comparable to top-tier soul beasts.

With his arsenal of powerful skills, he could likely face even an ordinary Rank 60 Soul Emperor without fear.

Fang Chang turned his attention to his evolution panel, finding the option for Shadow Demon Spider at the bottom of the list.

Evolution Requirements:

Soul Power of 10,000 Years (Completed)

100,000 Evolution Points (Incomplete: Current 77,010)

Kill Ten Human Soul Masters of Rank Soul Elder or Higher (Incomplete: Current 9/10)

"Still one short!" Fang Chang sighed.

The missing evolution points could wait, but being just one kill away from meeting the human soul master requirement was agonizing, triggering his obsessive tendencies.

And where could he find such prey? A whole group of them stood right on the shore!

A sinister smile spread across his spider face.

"Debts must be paid, and it's time to collect."

Fang Chang Emerges.

He raised his front shield-like legs and placed them on the edge of the swamp, slowly crawling onto land. His body emerged from the water, cloaked in black mist, drawing the attention of the human soul masters.

Still shaken by the earlier attack of the Green Ghost Leeches, they now found themselves staring at the terrifying figure of a creature cloaked in thick black mist, mixed with flickering tongues of fire.

It resembled the mutated Man-Faced Demon Spider they had fought the day before, yet its aura was far more menacing.

The black mist momentarily cleared around its head, revealing eight scarlet eyes that radiated cold malice.

Without hesitation, Fang Chang activated his Leap skill, launching himself toward the two Soul Kings at the forefront of the group.

The two Soul Kings were startled but quickly activated their martial souls.

The one on the left summoned a Brown Bear, its spirit body enveloping him as he crossed his arms to brace for impact.

The one on the right wielded a Silver Hammer, raising it overhead, ready to strike.

Fang Chang sneered and activated Blade Armor, charging straight at them.

The hammer-wielding Soul King struck first, swinging his weapon down toward Fang Chang, but it collided with Fang Chang's shield-like legs.

"Clang!"

The hammer was deflected, spinning out of the Soul King's grip. The man staggered back, vomiting blood as he dropped to one knee.

Meanwhile, Fang Chang's other shield leg slammed into the bear martial soul user, breaking his defensive stance. A sickening crack sounded as the man's arms fractured, and he was sent rolling into a tent.

His burned, blackened arms and rapidly spreading greenish-purple discoloration made it clear that he had been poisoned.

With just one clash, Fang Chang incapacitated two Soul Kings, leaving the remaining human soul masters trembling in fear.

Ignoring the others, Fang Chang turned his attention to a collapsed figure on the ground—a Soul King who had narrowly survived the Green Ghost Leeches but was still unconscious.

Without hesitation, Fang Chang's spider leg pierced the man's chest, ending his life instantly.

The three members of the Golden Generation finally reacted, forming a defensive formation.

Yan moved to the front, his Flame Lord martial soul flaring to life. Behind him, Hu Liena and Xie Yue began a complex series of hand seals, preparing to unleash their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Fang Chang, however, had no intention of letting them succeed.

Using Leap, he closed the distance to Yan in an instant, his shield legs aiming for the Flame Lord's head.

The twin spider legs swooped down with a whistling sound. Yan barely had time to raise his arms in defense as his martial soul condensed around him for protection.

The impact was overwhelming.

Yan's arms gave out immediately, and the shield legs smashed into his head. His vision blurred, his consciousness fading as he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

In the back, Hu Liena and Xie Yue took a step back, successfully completing their Martial Soul Fusion Skill just as Yan fell.

A red mist enveloped the battlefield, disrupting Fang Chang's senses and slowing his movements.

Before he could react, a series of attacks rained down on him, producing sharp metallic clashes.

Cursing silently, Fang Chang activated Harden, bolstering his defense to withstand the barrage.

He then activated Dragon Blood Lv2, boosting his strength and agility, and followed it up with Shadow Clone, creating three identical duplicates to confuse his enemies.

The strategy worked. Hu Liena and Xie Yue hesitated, their attacks hitting a clone instead of the real Fang Chang.

Seizing the opportunity, Fang Chang's spider leg lashed out, piercing Xie Yue's shoulder. The injury disrupted the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, causing the red mist to dissipate.

With their strongest technique interrupted, the siblings were no match for Fang Chang. He swatted them aside, sending them tumbling across the ground.

Having subdued the Golden Generation, Fang Chang turned his attention to the remaining human soul masters.

Three blood-curdling screams echoed through the swamp, marking their demise.

Finally, Fang Chang looked back at the unconscious trio of the Golden Generation.

He hesitated briefly, his thoughts wavering, before stepping toward them.
