[Level ten Soul Power, achieved naturally, yet with an incomparably solid foundation] [And his Three-Eyed Demon had finally completed its ultimate mutation] [Though its appearance was still somewhat adorably foolish, its eyes now carried the true majesty of a dragon] [With a low growl, it scared the nearby Yu Xiaogang into falling flat on his backside] [He shakily summoned his own Three-Eyed Demon. Compared to the other one, it was the difference between clouds and mud] [Yu Yuanzhen could no longer restrain himself. He threw back his head and laughed wildly, his ecstasy plain for all to see] [The facts proved that Yu Xiaotian's theory was flawless. This path worked] [At that moment, he had already decided that the clan's future had to be placed in this child's hands] [Meanwhile, Yu Luomian, who had no idea what had happened] [Was still drinking tea in his residence, waiting to watch a joke unfold] [When he heard from his spies that the father and son had spent an entire day in the pharmacy] [A cold, mocking sneer curled across his lips] [Hmph, using such lewd things to make medicine? What an absolute joke] [He could barely wait to see his older brother make a fool of himself]
White World.
The Sky Screen froze on Yu Luomian's confident face.
The viewers of the White World finally lost it.
"HAHAHAHA! Help! How could someone be such a textbook clown?"
"Yu Luomian is still sneering over there. He has no idea what he's about to face!"
"They're evolving a divine beast inside, while he's outside waiting to laugh at them?"
"This is what they mean when an information gap kills! The Second Master is about to lose all his face!"
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
The atmosphere became strange beyond measure.
Everyone's gaze, intentionally or otherwise, drifted toward Yu Luomian in the corner.
At that moment, Yu Luomian looked as though he had socially died.
He covered his face with both hands, wishing he could bury himself underground.
Thinking back, he really had gone through such a train of thought back then.
At the time, he had thought that once the father and son failed at making medicine and reeked of something foul—
He would stand upon the moral high ground and mock them without mercy.
And what happened?
"I can't face anyone... I really can't face anyone..."
Sorrow welled up in Yu Luomian's heart.
It was foreseeable that, as the Sky Screen continued to play, he would play the role of the villain getting slapped in the face many more times.
This was a public execution before the entire continent!
Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the pharmacy was completely different.
The Pharmacy Elder from those days now had a head full of silver hair.
He was surrounded by a group of young apprentices.
Stroking his beard, he boasted smugly:
"Back then, Dragon God Douluo was only six years old when he came to see me carrying a whole pile of books."
"I could tell at a glance that this child was extraordinary!"
"If it had been anyone else, they would have thrown that little brat out long ago."
"But who am I? I saw his potential at a single glance!"
"Back then, Lord Xiaotian even asked me about the heat. Who knew that afterward, he would surpass his master in one leap!"
The apprentices' eyes shone as they listened, their faces filled with admiration.
The Pharmacy Elder secretly reveled in it.
Good thing I hadn't been stupid back then.
If he had refused Yu Xiaotian, how could he still have the face to boast here now?
That had been the best investment of his life!
Back Mountain.
Bibi Dong looked at the spirited young boy on the Sky Screen, a smile tugging at her lips.
She turned toward Yu Xiaotian, her eyes carrying a trace of reproach.
"So you developed the Whale Rubber formula that early?"
Yu Xiaotian nodded.
"Yeah. Back then, to nourish Three-Eyed Demon, I nearly emptied my dad's secret savings."
Bibi Dong shot him an ambiguous glance, her cheeks faintly flushing.
"Hmph, do you remember the first time you gave me that stuff? It was a dark lump, and you even said it was something good."
"At the time, I thought—I thought you had improper intentions toward me!"
Remembering the complicated mix of indignation and vague anticipation she had felt back then, Bibi Dong's face grew hot.
After all, Whale Rubber had been famous at the time as a potent aphrodisiac.
"At such a young age, you were already thinking about such nonsense."
Bibi Dong said coquettishly.
Hearing that, Yu Xiaotian immediately sat up straight.
With a righteous look on his face, he said:
"Your mind was crooked!"
"Only someone who always thinks improper thoughts would imagine those uses."
"I gave it to you to improve your physique, so you could absorb Soul Rings more effectively!"
"A proper man?"
Bibi Dong gave a soft snort.
"Would a proper man give a girl that kind of thing? Still..."
Her gaze softened.
"That piece of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber really helped me tremendously back then."
Although she was the Saintess of Spirit Hall and did not lack resources—
Treasures like Whale Rubber, which could raise the age limit of Soul Rings without side effects, were things one could only encounter by chance.
It was precisely because of Yu Xiaotian's gift—
That her physical constitution far surpassed her peers, laying a firm foundation for the future.
"You should know that although Teacher favored me, my surname wasn't Qian after all."
Bibi Dong sighed.
"The favor represented by that piece of Whale Rubber was more precious than ten times or even a hundred times the Soul Coins."
"We should thank Lord Dragon God Douluo for his foresight."
Yu Xiaotian was speechless. "Yes, yes, my dear Pope!"
Beside them, Yu Xiaogang felt like he could not swallow another bite of this lovey-dovey display!
Black World.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Inside the Sect Main Hall, the atmosphere was full of celebration.
At that moment, every elder and guardian looked at Sect Master Ning Fengzhi with near-worshipful eyes.
When the Sky Screen had first mentioned Whale Rubber, most people had still hesitated.
Some had even felt ashamed because of Whale Rubber's reputation.
Only Ning Fengzhi had overruled all objections.
He had used the sect's reserves to buy it up in large quantities across the entire continent.
Just moments ago, as the Sky Screen confirmed the heaven-defying effects of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber—
The market price of Whale Rubber had risen more than tenfold in less than half an hour!
And it was still impossible to buy at any price!
What filled the warehouses of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was no longer Whale Rubber—it was mountains of gold and silver!
It was also strategic reserves for the future!
"Sect Master is wise! He truly is a god among men!"
"With these resources, the weakness of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples' frail bodies will become history for good!"
Ning Fengzhi waved his folding fan.
Though he appeared calm and composed, he could not help feeling immensely pleased with himself.
He had won big on this gamble.
"The Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber sent to Rongrong should be arriving soon, right?"
He looked out the window, his eyes full of fatherly affection.
"Rongrong, this is all dad can do for you."
Shrek Academy.
The atmosphere here was sour enough to brew vinegar.
Ma Hongjun watched Yu Xiaotian swallow Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber on the Sky Screen.
His drool was practically dripping dry.
"That's Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber! If I could eat even one bite, could I suppress my evil fire?"
Oscar was equally envious.
"Forget ten thousand years. Give me a piece that's a thousand years old, and I'd be willing to call Yu Xiaotian Grandpa."
Flender stood off to the side.
He was so embarrassed that his toes could have dug a three-bedroom apartment into the ground.
As the dean, he also wanted to give the children the best.
The moment he saw the Sky Screen, he had gone to the black market.
But he was too poor.
He had only managed to acquire some inferior Whale Rubber that was a few decades old.
Not only did that stuff smell horribly fishy, its effects were probably negligible.
It might have been somewhat useful for six-year-old children.
But for the Shrek Seven Devils, who were already in their teens, it was better than nothing at most.
Just then, a commotion arose at the academy gate.
