The Black Flood Dragon Devours the Demon Whale

If I hold back my strength instead of improving it, am I waiting for someone to beat me up?

I, Su Mu, have no habit of letting myself be bullied.

[Successfully spent 400 Interception Points to exchange for 'Hundred-Thousand-Year Whale Glue (no side effects).']

[Stored in system space.]

Looking at the mess covering the ground, Su Mu did not take it right away.

After resting for a while.

Su Mu dragged his weary body over and repaired the stone wall where a gap had been smashed into it earlier.

Only then did he shut the door and return to his room.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Su Mu summoned the 'Hundred-Thousand-Year Whale Glue' he had purchased earlier from the system space with a thought.

The moment the Hundred-Thousand-Year Whale Glue appeared, a flash of golden light brightened the dim room.

Waves of strange fragrance spread from the white jade bowl in Su Mu's hands.

Su Mu examined the Hundred-Thousand-Year Whale Glue in his hands.

This Whale Rubber was not a hard lump like the one described in the novel he had read before transmigrating.

It was a viscous liquid, much like honey.

It looked as though it had just been extracted from a freshly killed Soul Beast.

The system said it had 'no side effects' anyway. Bottoms up!

With that thought, Su Mu raised the jade bowl and drained it in one gulp.

In Nuoding City.

A glint flashed through the eyes of a burly old man.

"This presence? The presence of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"

The old man muttered to himself, then sped off in a particular direction.

Before he had gone far, he stopped, and the golden, illusory silhouette of a crocodile behind him slowly vanished.

"Why did it suddenly disappear?"

That tasted pretty good.

Su Mu smacked his lips, savoring the lingering taste. It had none of the fishy smell he had expected.

This is Whale Rubber? Why don't I feel anything? Having the system process it really is convenient.

Just as Su Mu was wondering when the 'Hundred-Thousand-Year Whale Glue' would take effect.

Su Mu's entire body suddenly flushed red, and all his bones began to creak.

As though they were being squeezed.

Su Mu felt his head swell more and more, and his consciousness grew increasingly hazy.

"Roar~"

A roar jolted Su Mu awake.

Su Mu forced his eyes open and discovered that he was no longer on the bed in his room.

He was in a world of endless white.

He was floating in midair, facing an enormous creature that resembled a whale from his previous life.

Before the creature, Su Mu looked extremely small.

Where is this?

Could this be my spiritual world?

As if to confirm Su Mu's thoughts.

The enormous Demon Whale moved with astonishing speed. In a flash, it lashed its tail against Su Mu.

The blow sent Su Mu flying backward.

After he stopped.

Su Mu raised a hand and touched his chest.

It did not hurt, and he was not bleeding.

What's this?

Su Mu suddenly noticed that his hand had become somewhat transparent.

That's right. This is my spiritual world, and the thing in front of me is the 'Hundred-Thousand-Year Deep Sea Demon Whale'!

Fuck! Didn't it say there were no side effects?

Could the 'side effects' the system mentioned mean 'boosting virility'??

While Su Mu was grumbling.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale's spiritual body charged at him again.

I'm screwed. I had a heavenly opening, and now it's fucking over just like that?

Watching the Deep Sea Demon Whale's spiritual body grow larger and larger before him.

Su Mu's gaze turned resolute.

He curled his right hand around empty air, intending to summon his Martial Soul, the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade, and see just how much the remnant spiritual power of this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast weighed.

Just then, a dark shadow rose behind Su Mu.

Su Mu only felt the space above his head darken.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale's spiritual body, which had been charging at him, suddenly stopped as well.

Su Mu raised his head slightly and saw what it was.

It was a Three-Headed Flood Dragon, even larger than the Deep Sea Demon Whale.

The Flood Dragon's middle head was indistinguishable from a dragon's, while the heads on either side had no dragon horns, only two fleshy bumps on each.

It was as if sharp dragon horns could burst out of them like butterflies from their cocoons at any moment.

Three pairs of bright, scarlet eyes looked down at the Deep Sea Demon Whale.

"Roar~"

All three heads of the Flood Dragon thrust forward and roared at the Deep Sea Demon Whale.

At the sound of the roar, the Deep Sea Demon Whale slowly backed away.

Before the Deep Sea Demon Whale could react, the Three-Headed Flood Dragon flashed forward and coiled around it.

Amid the Deep Sea Demon Whale's roars.

The three enormous heads devoured the Deep Sea Demon Whale, bite by bite.

When Su Mu opened his eyes again.

It was already dark outside.

In the bright moonlight, Su Mu saw his familiar room.

Whew~

Letting out a long breath, Su Mu twisted his somewhat stiff body.

As Su Mu moved.

Cracking and popping sounds came from all over his body.

Is this power?

Su Mu clenched his hand, feeling the changes in his body.

This feeling of being filled with power.

If it were now, I could control the seventh stage, or even the eighth.

I just don't know what rank of Soul Master could withstand the blow if I really used the eighth stage with level 20 Soul Power.

A Soul Elder? A Soul King? Or a Soul Emperor?

Moreover, after the Three-Headed Flood Dragon devoured the Deep Sea Demon Whale's spiritual body, the fleshy bumps on its two side heads showed faint signs of breaking open.

Su Mu thought no more about it.

At daybreak, he had to head to Nuoding Academy to study.

It was not as though he absolutely had to attend that little school.

Only by staying close to Xiaosanzi could he better keep track of Xiaosanzi's movements.

That guy had plenty of opportunities, and Su Mu had to shear more wool from him to accumulate Interception Points.

To separate Tang San from Tang Hao, Su Mu had even given Tang San the work-study student slot.

In any case, he still had the 20 Gold Soul Coins Su Yuntao had given him.

After obtaining his first and second Soul Rings, he could also collect ten Gold Soul Coins from Spirit Hall every month.

That was enough to cover his expenses.

Getting out of bed, Su Mu noticed.

A great deal of dried black substance had appeared on his bedding.

There was some on his body as well.

These were probably impurities expelled from his body when the 'Hundred-Thousand-Year Deep Sea Whale Glue' strengthened it.

Su Mu gave his body a quick rinse.

He also washed the bedsheet.

By the time he finished, the sky was beginning to turn fish-belly white.

Standing in the courtyard and looking at the sky.

Su Mu began counting down in his head.

3.

2.

1!

[Detected Tang San cultivating the Purple Demon Eye. Intercept?]

Hearing the familiar system notification, Su Mu smiled.

As always, he chose to intercept.

Interception Points +5.

Intercept the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Interception Points +5.

[Detected Tang San practicing the 'Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer'. Intercept?]

Su Mu was still delighted that he had earned 10 Interception Points at the very start of a new day.

Another system notification appeared.

Good grief, Xiaosanzi really is hardworking. He's up bright and early to forge iron (work).

I really want to give him an 'Outstanding Employee' certificate.

"Intercept."

I wonder what this interception will give me.

[Interception successful.]

[Please choose: 'exchange for Interception Points'/'take for your own use'.]

"Exchange for Interception Points."

Su Mu had tried taking the cultivation of the Purple Demon Eye for his own use at the beginning, and it had improved his own Purple Demon Eye.

That thing was not all that useful. The resources in the interception shop were more practical.

[Interception successful. Interception Points +5.]

[Please select what to return.]

Su Mu casually picked the worst option and returned it to Tang San.

After quickly getting ready, Su Mu left Holy Soul Village and set out for Nuoding City.

He did not want a scruffy middle-aged man trailing him all the way.

Over at Tang San's place.

A shrill scream suddenly rang out.
