Century Whale Rubber Forging Body, Offerings Arrive

"Alright."

Xiao Ze still had quite a lot of Gold Soul Coins left from Bone Benefactor.

More than enough to buy this whale rubber.

After making the purchase, Xiao Ze returned to the academy.

To process the whale rubber, he needed a Fire Attribute Soul Master to melt it down.

The only one who could help Xiao Ze was Grandpa Xiao.

Xiao Ze approached Grandpa Xiao with a cheeky grin.

"You're smiling so happily. Did you do something wrong?"

How could Principal Xiao not know what kind of person Xiao Ze was?

"Of course not..." Xiao Ze smiled awkwardly. "I just have something I need Grandpa's help with."

"Go on."

"This won't work at Grandpa Xiao's place. Come with me to a hotel in Nuoding City."

"A hotel?" Principal Xiao's expression changed.

Had this child fallen for some kind of honey trap?

No, that couldn't be right. Xiao Ze was such a good boy—he would never do something like that.

"Fine. I want to see what you little rascal are up to."

Principal Xiao followed Xiao Ze into the hotel.

Seeing an old man and a child come to the hotel and ask for a single room, the receptionist wore a strange expression.

Sometimes, he really wanted to call the police. This was a Couples Hotel, after all.

"This..." Principal Xiao froze as he looked at the pink room.

Xiao Ze gave a light cough. "Grandpa, don't mind it. The other hotels were too far away."

"Fine."

"Grandpa, this is the Century Whale Rubber I bought. Can you help me process it?"

"Whale rubber?!" Principal Xiao exclaimed.

"You brat, what exactly are you trying to do? Don't you know whale rubber is for those Nobles to play with?" Principal Xiao twisted Xiao Ze's ear.

"Ow... Grandpa, let go. Whale rubber can improve my physique."

"Really?" Principal Xiao released him, looking doubtful.

"Of course. I saw it in some ancient texts, and I wanted to try it. I'm a Soul Master, so taking one piece of whale rubber won't hurt me."

Xiao Ze smiled.

"Fine, but Century Whale Rubber is usually taken by adults." Principal Xiao knew Xiao Ze was not the sort of person to fool around, but he was still worried.

"Grandpa, I know. But aren't you here?"

"You brat, give it to me. Don't take it all at once. Take one piece a week."

"Got it."

Principal Xiao used flames to melt down a piece of Century Whale Rubber. "Open your mouth."

Xiao Ze swallowed the melted whale rubber.

In an instant, a blazing heat erupted within Xiao Ze's body.

Xiao Ze groaned, startled inwardly. Was this Century Whale Rubber really this potent?

How did people ten thousand years later take it?

Whale rubber was highly nourishing. Children's bodies had not fully developed, so consuming it was somewhat dangerous.

Even for a Soul Master, the danger was only slightly reduced.

At that moment, Xiao Ze's skin was flushed red. Even his naturally darker complexion had turned crimson.

His cheeks were burning red, and a visible flush had spread across his forehead. It was as though white steam were rising from the top of his head.

Xiao Ze felt his internal organs grow hot. Every breath he took was scorching.

He felt his mind becoming slightly hazy, while his flesh, skin, and bones were tempered amid the burning heat.

Seeing Xiao Ze's condition, Principal Xiao became even more worried.

The whale rubber was too potent. Even when those Nobles took it, they only used a small spoonful at a time. A piece of Century Whale Rubber could be used dozens of times.

They would never swallow an entire piece at once like Xiao Ze had.

Xiao Ze immediately began circulating Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, gradually guiding the violent energy into his limbs and bones while suppressing the burning sensation.

Three hours later, Xiao Ze finally opened his eyes.

His clothes had long since been soaked through with sweat.

"Xiao Ze, how did it feel?"

"It felt really good."

Principal Xiao immediately reached out and felt Xiao Ze's bones.

"There has indeed been an improvement, and it's still slowly increasing. Xiao Ze, you might be able to obtain a thousand-year Soul Ring as your second Soul Ring."

Principal Xiao said excitedly.

"Mm." Xiao Ze's lips curled upward. He was excited as well.

His martial soul was the snowballing type—the stronger it grew, the more powerful it would become.

Any extra strength in the early stages was worthwhile.

A few more days passed.

That day, six people with extraordinarily imposing auras arrived at Spirit Hall in Nuoding City.

Of the people in Spirit Hall, only Elder and Su Yuntao remained.

Feeling the aura of the six people before them, Elder and Su Yuntao trembled all over.

Cold sweat poured down their backs.

Tang Hao had actually drawn six Title Douluos to Spirit Hall.

It was terrifying.

"You don't need to be afraid. I'll ask, and you'll answer."

The speaker was a silver-haired youth—none other than Radiant Plume Douluo.

Though Radiant Plume Douluo was already quite old, he still looked and sounded like a young man.

"Speak, Your Excellency."

Elder wiped the sweat from his forehead, nervous beyond measure.

"Was he the first person to see the information on that sheet of white paper?"

"Yes."

Su Yuntao's body trembled slightly, his face pale.

"Good."

Radiant Plume Douluo looked at Su Yuntao. "Don't be afraid. You won't die—I guarantee it."

"And if the information is true, then you will have rendered a great service."

"Y-yes..." Su Yuntao breathed a sigh of relief.

Surely Your Excellency's words couldn't be false, right?

"Do you still remember the information on it?"

"N-no, I don't remember. I don't remember a single sentence." Su Yuntao hurriedly shook his head.

Radiant Plume Douluo nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good. You're a smart man. I don't want this information to spread."

"Understood, understood."

Su Yuntao hurriedly nodded.

"Alright, what happens next has nothing to do with you. Just do your jobs properly. You know nothing about what will happen in Nuoding City afterward."

"Understood!"

With that, Radiant Plume Douluo and the other five left.

Su Yuntao and Elder immediately collapsed to the ground, and a small amount of liquid appeared on the floor.

A foul stench filled the air.

"Elder, your internal fire is a little too strong."

"Shut up. I was scared to death. You brat, make sure you develop well in the future."

"Mm."

"As for Si Si, forget it. She isn't right for you."

"Sigh... I understand."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Second Brother, how do we lure Tang Hao out?"

Mighty Lion Douluo looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"If Tang Hao is here, we can simply release our pressure. Once Tang Hao senses it, he'll definitely come out."

"And make sure you pay attention—don't kill anyone. We're not Evil Soul Masters, slaughtering people indiscriminately. Spirit Hall still needs to save face." Golden Crocodile Douluo's approach was simple and brutal.

"Got it."

"Old Five, Old Six, let's go!"

Radiant Plume Douluo was the first to rise into the air.

Falling Devil Douluo and Thousand Jun Douluo followed.

"Second Brother, do you think Tang Hao won't come out?"

"He will. Tang Hao is an extremely proud man. And since he's in Nuoding City, there might be something in this city that he cares about."

The next moment.

The power of a Level 96 Super Douluo erupted from Radiant Plume Douluo in a torrential burst.

A terrifying pressure swept across the entirety of Nuoding City.

Everyone in Nuoding City felt a heavy weight settle in their chests.

All the Ordinary People were forced to the ground, completely unable to get back up.

As for the others, they too were affected to varying degrees.
