Douluo: One Thought of God and Demon, Inheriting the Dual God Positions of Good and Evil — Chapter 48

But at this moment, his Soul Power had already surpassed that of Soul Masters at the same level by more than three times!

Looking at Qian Renxin's streamlined, steel-like physique, Bibi Dong reached out to test it and said in astonishment, "Xin'er, your physical condition is terrifyingly strong..."

"Even when I was a Soul Ancestor, my physical condition was probably inferior to yours..."

As an unparalleled genius of the entire continent, fighting above her level had long been normal for her. When she was a Soul Ancestor, she had already trained her physique to rival that of an ordinary Spirit King.

Yet Qian Renxin, a Soul Elder, was even stronger than she had been as a Soul Ancestor.

In other words, his physical condition had already far surpassed that of an ordinary Spirit King!

"Mainly because I got lucky."

Qian Renxin said with a light smile, "With Immortal Herbs and Soul Rings laying the foundation, I can take Premium Medicine that ordinary Spirit Kings would only dare try. Naturally, I'm stronger than them."

Bibi Dong nodded in agreement.

Qian Renxin's fortuitous encounters were likely unmatched by anyone else. Comparing him to ordinary Soul Masters was simply bullying them.

"Then how can I become as strong as Brother?"

Qian Renxue leaned over and asked, raising her little fists. "I want to become stronger too!"

"Hmm... the effects of Blood Lotus Wound Powder are too overwhelming for you. You can't use it for now—at the very least, not until you reach Soul Ancestor level."

Qian Renxin said as if he had expected this, "But I've also specially prepared a treasure for you, one specifically meant to improve your physique. It's just right for someone like you who has used Immortal Herbs."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of Whale Rubber from his Spatial Soul Tool.

This piece of Whale Rubber was not particularly large. It was half the size of the five-thousand-year Whale Rubber from before, and it had far fewer golden threads on its surface.

"This is a two-thousand-year Whale Rubber. Absorbing it will improve your physique, but you'll also suffer pain during the process. Are you willing to give it a try?"

Qian Renxin gently shook the Whale Rubber in his hand, smiling as he tempted her.

He had not told Qian Renxue about the Whale Rubber before. After all, he wanted her to cultivate her Soul Power to its limit, so that she could absorb Whale Rubber of a higher age, which would contain fewer impurities.

And Qian Renxue's Soul Power was already at level thirty, clearly making this the right time for her to absorb Whale Rubber.

"I'm willing."

Qian Renxue nodded firmly.

She had witnessed Qian Renxin's hard work with her own eyes and understood that she could not keep slacking off like this.

Otherwise, one day, Qian Renxin would leave her far behind.

She did not want that. By then, Qian Renxin definitely would not stay where he was waiting for her to catch up, and the gap between them would only grow wider.

Qian Renxin nodded.

He summoned the God Form Martial Soul in his left hand, condensing a mixture of Extreme Fire and Goodness Origin in his palm.

He called the flames in this form Sacred Flame.

As early as when he had absorbed the two great ice-and-fire Immortal Herbs, the God-Demon Martial Soul had absorbed the power of Extreme Ice and Extreme Fire into itself.

The potential of these two Martial Souls was nearly limitless, perfectly accommodating multiple extreme powers.

However, the current Extreme Ice and Extreme Fire were not yet powerful enough. As his Soul Power increased, he would need to continuously seek opportunities to complete them.

Under the burning of the Sacred Flame, the two-thousand-year Whale Rubber sizzled. Its outer white layer gradually blackened and peeled away, leaving only the essence inside to continuously condense, while the golden threads gleamed brightly beneath the flames.

Once the Whale Rubber had completely softened, Qian Renxin placed it before Qian Renxue and carefully instructed her:

"Xue'er, you can't be too hasty when absorbing the Whale Rubber. Take it one small piece at a time. Also, restrain your mind's cravings, calm yourself, and use your Soul Power to continuously absorb its medicinal effects."

"Got it, got it..."

Qian Renxue was a little impatient and eagerly pinched off a piece and stuffed it into her mouth.

After swallowing it, she stuck out her tongue in disappointment and said somewhat angrily, "Sticky... fishy... it tastes awful."

Seeing how beautiful the Whale Rubber looked, she had thought it would be delicious.

Unfortunately, the result disappointed her greatly. The fishy seafood taste combined with its sticky texture left her with a terrible impression.

She did not have much time to savor the flavor.

Immediately afterward, Qian Renxue's face flushed bright red, and her entire body suddenly shuddered, as if an electric current had run through her.

She quickly suppressed it with Soul Power, but the flush on her face did not fade. It seemed the medicine's effects could not be completely purified.

Qian Renxue's Bewildering Passion, Journey to the Star Dou Great Forest

After gasping several times in succession, Qian Renxue kept reaching out and feeding herself small pieces bit by bit.

Under the lingering effects of the Whale Rubber, her complexion grew increasingly rosy. Her originally innocent, adorable face now carried the air of a girl awakening to love, and she panted heavily.

"Brother... Xiaoxue feels so awful..."

After being fed Whale Rubber several times, the residual medicinal effects of the Whale Rubber in Qian Renxue's body became excessive. In the end, still dazed and confused, she hugged Qian Renxin. Afterward, she simply stared straight at him without doing anything else—or perhaps without knowing what to do—only rubbing herself back and forth against him.

Qian Renxin released a faint chill from his left hand and pressed it against Qian Renxue's forehead, helping her calm down quickly.

At the same time, Bibi Dong assisted from the side with her Soul Power, helping Qian Renxue settle down.

Once Qian Renxue had calmed down and regained her senses, she saw what she had been doing and felt a wave of embarrassment. She quickly retreated several steps and sat back on the bed.

"Don't worry, Xiaoxue. This is just a side effect of the Whale Rubber."

Qian Renxin rubbed her little head and continued with a smile. "People generally have no tolerance when they first come into contact with Whale Rubber, so the effects are especially pronounced. The effects afterward shouldn't be this exaggerated."

"You... you didn't even tell me... Brother, you're so mean..."

Qian Renxue said, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

Just now, she had been completely muddleheaded. Her head felt as though it had been anesthetized, leaving only a sliver of instinct to control her body.

By the time she regained consciousness, she had already clung to Qian Renxin like an octopus.

"Actually, I did warn you..."

Qian Renxin said helplessly, "Besides, pretty much everyone who absorbs Whale Rubber for the first time has to go through this. Even if I'd told you, there was nothing you could have done. Even when I first absorbed Whale Rubber, Rou Tu helped me..."

Halfway through, he realized he had said too much and abruptly swallowed the rest of his words.

But sharp-eyed Qian Renxue sensed something off. She raised her head curiously and asked, "What did Aunt Rou Tu help you with? Could it be that there's some trick to taking Whale Rubber for the first time?"

Rou Tu had lived in Spirit Hall for a long time, so she naturally knew Qian Renxue, who had always called her Aunt Rou Tu.

"Nothing much. She just helped me digest some of the medicinal effects."

Qian Renxin spoke truthfully, looking utterly sincere.

In truth, Rou Tu had indeed helped him digest part of the Whale Rubber's medicinal effects, except she had used not Soul Power, but her mouth.

"Anyway, you two are only siblings, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about."

Bibi Dong spoke from the side with a soft laugh.

Upon hearing that, Qian Renxue suddenly sprang to her feet.

"So that's why Dugu Yan had that expression. That was what she meant..."

"What is it, Xiaoxue?" Qian Renxin asked.

"Hmph, I'm not telling you."

Qian Renxue put on a pouty little act and turned her head away.

After taking Whale Rubber for the first time, Qian Renxue's subsequent absorption process became much smoother.

In just two or three hours, she had absorbed an entire piece of Whale Rubber.

"It really is amazing!"

Qian Renxue excitedly moved her body and discovered that her physical constitution had improved considerably.

"Whale Rubber truly is remarkable. Once its effects are revealed to the Soul Master World, it will be revered as a sacred treasure for soul masters within half a month. Compared to Immortal Herbs and soul bones, its value is far more affordable."

Bibi Dong could not help but say.

Back then, she had never encountered Whale Rubber, so naturally she had not known its wonderful uses.

Otherwise, perhaps her strength could have improved even further.

And as a peak Soul Douluo, ordinary thousand-year Whale Rubber was no longer very effective for her.

Only ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber could provide her with even a slight benefit.

"Don't worry, Mom. Once we reach the area near the Sea Domain, we'll definitely find even more precious Whale Rubber. Then you can take some too and strengthen your body."

Qian Renxin reassured her with a faint smile.

"It's alright. I don't lack anything anymore. You've already helped me more than enough."

Bibi Dong gently stroked his head and smiled warmly.

Then she became somewhat saddened and continued, "Come to think of it, I've truly failed as a mother. Even now, I haven't been able to help either of you with anything. I even have to rely on Xin'er's help to improve my strength."

"Mom is Mom. As long as you stay by our side, that's enough."

Seeing her sadness, Qian Renxue stepped forward, hugged one of her arms, and comforted her.

"Mm, I'll always be with you."

Bibi Dong smiled gently and pulled Qian Renxin and Qian Renxue into her embrace, drifting off to sleep with them.

The next day, Qian Renxin and the others no longer lingered, heading to Sunset Forest to find the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger before leaving.

The hungry Dark Demon Evil God Tiger returned listlessly, letting out a few dissatisfied growls.

It knew nothing about the situation in Sunset Forest.

Ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beasts would hide to avoid being hunted as soon as they discovered its trail.

Over the past few days, it had not even managed to eat a single soul beast.

"Don't worry. Once we reach Star Dou Forest, I'll catch you a ten-thousand-year soul beast to satisfy your cravings."

Qian Renxin stroked its head reassuringly.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger affectionately rubbed its large head against Qian Renxin's face several times.

Before heading to Star Dou Forest, Qian Renxin made a trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. This time, Dugu Bo had not wandered off, and Dugu Yan was here as well.

"Brother Xin, you can't disappear for over a year again this time!"

Dugu Yan raised her little finger and said to Qian Renxin, "Pinky swear with me. You can't take so long to come see me again. I'm so bored alone in the cabin!"

"Am I not a person?" Dugu Bo replied with an odd expression.

"Grandpa doesn't understand anything. It's only fun when I'm playing with Brother Xin." Dugu Yan said it without hesitation, even sticking out her tongue mischievously.

Dugu Bo returned to the cabin with a heartbroken look, forced to accept the fact that the granddaughter he had raised with his own hands was about to side with someone else.

Back when she was little, she used to call him Grandpa so affectionately, one word after another,
