Bone Douluo said disdainfully:
"Give it a rest! Old Sword Man, if I'd known earlier, I definitely would've eaten this good stuff first. How could it have been your turn?"
"I'll eat Whale Rubber like it's food. Then my body will become divine, and I'll beat you up every day!"
Sword Douluo clenched his fists. "Old Bone, you want to fight?"
Watching the two Titled Douluo prepare to resume their usual bickering,
Ning Fengzhi smiled helplessly.
But he had already made up his mind.
Among the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber they had acquired this time, he would definitely save the best piece for Rongrong.
The auxiliary Soul Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had frail bodies.
This was precisely the best opportunity to make up for that weakness.
Shrek Academy.
Flender's expression was even uglier than a crying face.
He was a shrewd man. The moment he saw the Sky Screen, he rushed toward Suotuo City's black market.
But he was still a step too late.
Or rather, his wealth simply could not compare to those great factions.
"It's gone. It's all gone!"
Flender slumped despondently into his chair.
Facing the expectant Shrek Seven Devils, he shook his head.
"The high-year Whale Rubber on the market has either been bought out by major factions, or its price has been driven through the roof."
"I went through every black market and only managed to buy some that were a few decades old."
The light in the Shrek Seven Devils' eyes instantly dimmed.
A few decades?
Yu Xiaotian had eaten thousand-year-old Whale Rubber when he was six, even ten-thousand-year-old Whale Rubber!
"Is this the difference in foundations..."
Dai Mubai clenched his fists.
He felt a profound sense of helplessness.
He was a Star Luo Prince and should not have lacked resources.
But he was currently in exile and had no money at all.
What was worse, his elder brother had probably received the news as well.
If the subsequent uses of Whale Rubber were revealed, his elder brother might improve even further!
Tang San's heart sank as well.
This was the first time he had felt such a powerful desire for money.
At the rundown Shrek Academy, they might have been called little monsters, but they could not even afford a decent piece of Whale Rubber.
"If I can sell my Hidden Weapons..."
Tang San began calculating inwardly.
Just then, Ning Rongrong spoke up.
She saw everyone's disappointment. Although she had only joined Shrek recently, she still had a sense of collective honor.
"Don't lose heart, everyone. There should still be quite a bit of stock in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's treasury."
"If everyone needs it, I can write to Dad..."
Tang San's eyes lit up at those words.
He immediately suggested trading Hidden Weapons such as the Godly Zhuge Crossbow for Whale Rubber.
"Rongrong, Whale Rubber prices are soaring right now. I'll trade Hidden Weapons with you."
Ning Rongrong readily agreed.
However, she also made it clear that Whale Rubber prices were soaring, so how much they could trade for would depend on her father's valuation.
She could only provide them with a way to obtain it; she could not give it away for free.
Seeing Tang San handle things so resourcefully, Yu Xiaogang could not help puffing out his chest with pride.
But what he did not know was that the Shrek Seven Devils were already beginning to fall apart.
After all, Shrek Academy was poor as hell and could not provide them with any resources.
What if Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang discovered another cultivation technique or the marvelous use of some heavenly treasure next time?
If they still could not get their hands on it, would the gap between them and their peers not grow wider and wider?
Watching Tang San and Ning Rongrong strike a deal, Ma Hongjun and Oscar could not help feeling envious and jealous.
"This is the confidence of a great sect..."
"If we joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect too, could we obtain these resources?"
For the first time, Shrek Academy's unity showed cracks before the cruel disparity in resources.
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong, far away in Spirit Hall, directly ordered a continent-wide sweep.
Her thoughts were simple and pure, even carrying a trace of obsession.
"Save a portion of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber for Xiaogang!"
"No matter where he is, even if we have to tie him up, bring him back and make him eat it!"
"This is his hope of becoming stronger!"
Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Xiao remained calm.
The elders all urged him to leave the mountain and seize resources.
Tang Xiao merely waved his hand.
"Seize what? Everyone in the Clear Sky Sect is a blacksmith. Our bodies are already tough! What do we need that stuff for?"
"What if it doesn't work? Wouldn't that be a total waste of effort? Keep forging. Forging is what truly matters!"
The Clear Sky Sect's Limit Douluo was nowhere to be found. What if Qian Daoliu shamelessly came knocking?
Tang Xiao could not help feeling bitter inside.
The Sky Screen continued to shift.
[Yu Xiaotian picked up that bowl of golden medicinal liquid] [The thousand-year Whale Rubber, crystal-clear like amber, melted the instant it entered his mouth] [It transformed into surging heat that instantly washed through Yu Xiaotian's tender six-year-old body] [His blood and vitality erupted from his pores like smoke signals] [This was a sign of immense nourishment for the body; his entire being seemed like a burning furnace] [His aura was majestic, like a young dragon awakening for the first time] [With a thought from Yu Xiaotian, that purple lump of Three-Eyed Demon instantly manifested] [It too let out an incomparably delighted hum] [Its once-loose skin began to tighten, and faint pale-golden patterns emerged] [As though it had donned armor forged from gold] [A transformation visible to the naked eye was shattering everyone's understanding] [At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen stared fixedly at the scene, his breathing even stopping] [This was thousand-year Whale Rubber, yet it had truly been absorbed perfectly] [If thousand-year Whale Rubber worked, then wouldn't ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber be heaven-defying?] [Even Thunder Douluo, who had seen countless storms, had fingertips that trembled faintly at this moment] [This was not taking medicine; this was clearly reshaping the future of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan] [The Pharmacy Elder beside him was so excited that his beard shook wildly, his eyes burning with fanaticism] [He had witnessed a miracle—the birth of a formula worthy of being recorded in Soul Master history] [The way he looked at Yu Xiaotian was no longer the way one looked at a junior, but at a peerless genius] [The young Yu Xiaotian was already so excited that he danced with joy, his eyes filled with little stars] [Since big brother could do it, did that mean his Three-Eyed Demon could be saved too?] [He looked at his big brother's back with boundless admiration] [Yet faced with everyone's amazement, Yu Xiaotian merely smiled calmly] [This was worth being surprised over? The real show had only just begun] [With a flick of his hand, he took out that pitch-black lump of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber] [The Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber emitted an energy fluctuation that made hearts palpitate] [Without supplementary medicine to neutralize it, this tyrannical medicinal power would be enough to burst him apart instantly] [But with calmness beyond his years, he tapped it lightly with his fingertip and precisely divided it into three portions] [Even with absolute confidence, he maintained reverence for power] [The first portion entered his stomach, and it was as though a living volcano had instantly ignited within him] [His sinews and bones rang together, producing thunderous explosions] [He did not panic in the slightest, guiding the medicinal power to wash through every inch of his meridians] [Then, the second and third portions were swallowed in succession] [His bones were restructuring, his meridians expanding, and his strength skyrocketing] [It was a complete evolution, a rebirth from the marrow outward] [He felt that he could beat up his former self from a day ago all day long] [**Boom!**] [A muffled explosion detonated within his body—the sound of shackles shattering]
