A messenger from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect delivered an ornate box.
It was an urgent delivery from Ning Fengzhi—Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber!
Ning Rongrong opened the ornate box before everyone's eyes.
The thick smell was extremely fishy and foul, but no one showed the slightest disgust. Instead, their eyes burned with excitement!
She did not hesitate.
Following Yu Xiaotian's method from the Sky Screen.
Although she did not have such a precise formula, she still carried out a basic purification and refinement.
After all, her current physical strength was something six-year-old Yu Xiaotian could not compare to!
Two hours later.
When Ning Rongrong opened her eyes again, a wave of Soul Power rippled outward.
"I broke through!"
Ning Rongrong cried out in delight:
"Not only did my Soul Power rise by one rank, but I feel so much lighter, and my meridians have widened too!"
"Although I'm only at the 28th Rank now, when I reach the 30th Rank, I'm absolutely certain I can absorb a Soul Ring over two thousand years old!"
This was a genuine increase to her upper limit!
At that moment, the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils.
Could only feel envy.
Tang San clenched his fists.
He looked at the empty box in Ning Rongrong's hands.
Then at his Teacher Yu Xiaogang's despondent back.
He could not help but sigh at the value of having a good family.
But his Teacher had failed to seize the opportunity.
Once that thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.
And Yu Xiaogang, at that moment, felt a deep trace of regret.
If I hadn't left the family back then, if I hadn't run away from home for the sake of my so-called pride...
Could I have gotten a share like Yu Xiaogang from that world?
Was I wrong? Was I really wrong?
Just as Yu Xiaogang was caught in an intense inner struggle.
Another uninvited guest arrived at Shrek Academy.
It was Yu Luomian—the man who had repeatedly been slapped in the face by the Sky Screen.
Unlike the clown from the White World, who had already become a complete laughingstock.
Yu Luomian of the Black World still maintained the dignity of a Soul Douluo.
As the Second Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, his influence remained formidable.
This time, he had come under the orders of his elder brother, Yu Yuanzhen, to bring Yu Xiaogang home.
Though he was unwilling in a hundred different ways.
He felt that bringing this useless man back would be a waste of food.
But after watching the Sky Screen, his elder brother had become obsessed.
He insisted on seeing whether this unfilial son could still be saved, so Yu Luomian could only comply.
When Yu Luomian entered Shrek Academy, everyone's expressions became rather strange.
After all, they had just watched this old man get forced to his knees by Yu Yuanzhen on the Sky Screen.
And it was foreseeable that he would be slapped in the face again shortly.
Now that the real man stood before them, the contrast was simply too amusing.
Of course, Yu Luomian knew what they were thinking.
His face darkened as he snorted:
"What are you looking at? That was me from a Parallel World!"
"The me from that world had no eye for talent. That doesn't mean this old man has no eye for talent!"
"If you want to blame someone, blame my elder brother for not producing a god-tier son like Yu Xiaotian!"
"If he had, this old man could have coasted to victory too!"
Those shameless yet logically sound words left everyone speechless for a moment.
Yu Luomian did not waste any words and went straight to Yu Xiaogang.
Seeing the uncle who had once forced him to leave the woman he loved.
Yu Xiaogang's entire body tensed, his eyes filled with resistance and hatred.
"What are you here for? To laugh at me?"
Yu Luomian curled his lip and tossed over a token.
"Come home with me."
"Big Brother said that as long as you're willing to return, the family's resources will be directed toward you."
"Even if we have to pile medicine onto you, we'll raise you up."
"I'm not going back!" Yu Xiaogang stiffened his neck.
"Because of Er Long?" Yu Luomian tore away the last veil of pretense.
At the sound of that name, Yu Xiaogang's body trembled. It was the eternal pain in his heart.
Liu Erlong was Yu Luomian's illegitimate daughter, which made her his cousin.
Fleeing from that relationship had become a lifelong source of guilt for him.
Seeing him like this, Yu Luomian felt disdain, but he still threw out his bargaining chip:
"As long as you come back with me and cooperate with the family in researching Martial Soul Evolution."
"I won't interfere with your affairs with Er Long anymore."
"I can even tacitly allow you two to meet. As long as you don't make it public, do whatever you want."
Yu Xiaogang wavered.
For him, this was an offer he simply could not refuse.
But when he raised his head and saw the concerned looks of the Shrek Seven Devils around him.
Especially Tang San's trusting eyes, his pride gained the upper hand again.
If he left now, would that not mean admitting that he relied on the family's charity?
Would that not mean abandoning these students?
"No!"
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath.
He put on a righteous expression:
"I won't go back!"
"My students are here, and my theories are here!"
"I don't need the family's charity. I can prove myself!"
Flender desperately signaled for him to agree from the side, but Yu Xiaogang ignored him.
"However..."
Yu Xiaogang changed his tone, leaving himself a way out:
"After I finish teaching this class of students, after they participate in the Soul Master Tournament, I may consider going back to see Father."
Yu Luomian rolled his eyes.
This was what they called suffering for the sake of saving face.
"Fine, whatever. But Big Brother asked me to bring something for you. He said you should try it first."
As he spoke, Yu Luomian took an ornate box from his robes. Inside was a piece of Thousand Year Whale Rubber.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan may not be as wealthy as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but we aren't slow to act either."
"Eat this thousand-year-old piece first and see if it can break through that damned level 29 bottleneck of yours."
Everyone looked at the Whale Rubber and once again marveled at the wealth of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Rongrong had eaten a ten-thousand-year-old piece.
What Yu Luomian had brought was only a thousand-year-old piece.
The difference was anything but small.
Yu Xiaogang looked at the Whale Rubber, and his heart stirred.
He had originally wanted to give it to Tang San. After all, Tang San was his hope.
"Little San, this is for—"
"For my ass!"
Yu Luomian cut him off directly. "The family gave this to you! If you dare give it to an outsider, I'll feed it to a dog right now!"
Tang San hurriedly said as well:
"Teacher, you've been trapped at level 29 for many years. This is your opportunity. Please take it quickly."
Under everyone's persuasion and Yu Luomian's threats.
After completing the refinement.
With trembling hands, Yu Xiaogang swallowed that piece of Thousand Year Whale Rubber.
The entire place fell silent.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for a miracle.
They waited for Master to shine with golden light and undergo Martial Soul Evolution, just like Yu Xiaotian on the Sky Screen.
A quarter of an hour passed.
Half an hour passed.
Yu Xiaogang was drenched in sweat. His complexion changed from rosy to pale, then finally to an ashen green.
There was no reaction at all.
His Soul Power remained firmly stuck at level 29, utterly unmoved.
Other than his body becoming slightly stronger.
The bottleneck that had plagued him for decades was like an insurmountable chasm.
It was not something a piece of Thousand Year Whale Rubber could possibly fill.
"How could this happen..."
Yu Xiaogang collapsed onto the ground, his eyes empty.
Ning Rongrong could level up after eating it, and Yu Xiaotian could evolve after eating it. Why was he the exception?
"Could my talent really be so poor that even heavenly treasures can't save me?"
Yu Luomian frowned deeply at the sight.
This was not how the script was supposed to go, was it?
Somewhat impatiently, he said:
"Could it be because Three-Eyed Demon has never eaten meat from a creature with dragon bloodline?"
"Try feeding it some Soul Beast meat with dragon bloodline!"
At the words "feed it meat."
Yu Xiaogang's body suddenly stiffened.
