A messenger from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect delivered a brocade box.

It was sent urgently by Ning FengzhiTen Thousand Year Whale Rubber!

Ning Rongrong opened the brocade box in front of everyone.

The thick smell was extremely fishy and rank, but the crowd showed no disgust at all; instead, they were burning with excitement!

She didn't hesitate.

Following Yu Xiaotian's technique from the Sky Screen.

Though she lacked the precise formula, she still performed a simple purification and refinement.

After all, her current physical strength was something the six-year-old Yu Xiaotian couldn't compare to!

Two hours later.

When Ning Rongrong opened her eyes again, a ripple of soul power spread outward.

"I broke through!"

Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise:

"Not only did my soul power increase by one level, but I also feel much lighter, and my meridians have widened!"

"Even though I'm only at level 28 now, I feel that when I reach level 30, I'll definitely be able to absorb a soul ring over two thousand years old!"

This was a genuine boost to her upper limit!

At that moment, the others of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Felt nothing but envy, pure envy.

Tang San clenched his fists.

He looked at the empty box in Ning Rongrong's hands.

Then glanced at his teacher Yu Xiaogang's dejected back.

He couldn't help but sigh at the power of a good family.

But his teacher hadn't seized that chance.

Once this thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.

And Yu Xiaogang, at this moment, was struck by a deep regret.

"If I hadn't left the clan back then, hadn't run away for the sake of so-called pride."

"Would I have been able to get a share, just like that Yu Xiaogang in the other world?"

"Was I wrong? Was I really wrong?"

Just as Yu Xiaogang was locked in an inner struggle.

Shrek Academy received another uninvited guest.

It was none other than the one who had been repeatedly humiliated on the Sky ScreenYu Luomian.

Unlike the clown who had been socially destroyed in the White World.

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 authority remained solid.

He had come this time under orders from his elder brother Yu Yuanzhen, to bring Yu Xiaogang back.

Though he was a thousand times unwilling.

Thinking it was a waste of food to bring this useless waste back.

But after his elder brother watched the Sky Screen, he became obsessed.

Insisting on trying to see if this prodigal son could be salvaged, he had no choice but to comply.

When Yu Luomian walked into Shrek Academy, everyone's expressions turned very strange.

After all, they had just watched on the Sky Screen as this old man was pressed to his knees by Yu Yuanzhen with a single move.

And it was predictable that he would be slapped in the face again soon.

Now that the real person stood before them, the contrast was hard to stifle a laugh.

Yu Luomian naturally knew what these people were thinking.

His face darkened, and he snorted coldly:

"What are you looking at? That's the Parallel World's me!"

"That world's me had no vision, but that doesn't mean I, this old man, lack vision either!"

"If you want to blame someone, blame my elder brother for not having a divine son like Yu Xiaotian!"

"If he had, I, this old man, could have coasted to victory too!"

This shameless yet logically self-consistent reasoning left everyone momentarily speechless.

Yu Luomian didn't waste words; he went straight to Yu Xiaogang.

Seeing this 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 out a token:

"Come home with me."

"Big Brother said, as long as you're willing to return, the clan's resources will be tilted toward you."

"Even if we have to pile on medicine, we'll build you up."

"I'm not going back!" Yu Xiaogang stiffened his neck.

"Because of Erlong?" Yu Luomian pierced straight through the paper window.

Hearing 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 was the guilt of his lifetime.

Yu Luomian looked at him in this state, disdainful as he was, but still threw down his bargaining chip:

"As long as you come back with me and cooperate with the clan's research on Martial Soul Evolution."

"I won't interfere with you and Erlong anymore."

"I might even allow you to meet, as long as it's not public—do whatever you want."

Yu Xiaogang wavered.

To him, this was a condition he simply couldn't refuse.

But when he lifted his head and saw the concerned gazes of the Shrek Seven Devils around him, especially Tang San's trusting eyes, his pride surged back to the forefront.

If he left now, wouldn't that be admitting he relied on the clan's charity?

Wouldn't that mean abandoning these students?

"No!"

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath.

Putting on a righteous expression:

"I'm not going back!"

"My students are here, my theories are here!"

"I don't need the clan's handouts—I can prove myself on my own!"

Flender was frantically signaling him from the side to agree, but he turned a blind eye.

"However..."

Yu Xiaogang shifted his tone, leaving himself a way out:

"After I finish guiding this batch of students, after they compete in the Soul Master Tournament, I might consider going back to see Father."

Yu Luomian rolled his eyes.

Thinking to himself, this is what they call dying for face and suffering for it.

"Fine, suit yourself. But Big Brother told me to bring something for you, said to give it a try first."

With that, Yu Luomian pulled a brocade box from his chest, inside which lay a piece of thousand-year Whale Rubber.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan may not be as rich as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but we're not slow either."

"Eat this thousand-year one first, see if it can break through your damned 29th Rank bottleneck."

Everyone looked at the Whale Rubber and once again marveled at the wealth of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Rongrong's was ten thousand years old.

What Yu Luomian brought was only a thousand-year one.

The gap was no small matter.

Yu Xiaogang stared at the Whale Rubber, his heart stirred.

He originally wanted to give this to Tang San, after all, Tang San was his hope.

"Xiao San, this is for—"

"For nothing!"

Yu Luomian cut him off directly: "This is from the clan for you! If you dare give it to an outsider, I'll feed it to the dogs right now!"

Tang San quickly added:

"Teacher, you've been stuck at the 29th Rank for years. This is your opportunity—please take it now."

Under everyone's persuasion and Yu Luomian's threats, After the refinement was complete.

Yu Xiaogang's hands trembled as he also consumed that piece of thousand-year Whale Rubber.

The entire venue fell silent.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for a miracle to occur.

They expected Master to shine with golden light, just like Yu Xiaotian on the Sky Screen, and undergo a Martial Soul Evolution.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Half an hour passed.

Yu Xiaogang was drenched in sweat, his complexion shifting from ruddy to pale, and finally to an ashen gray.

There was no reaction at all.

His soul power remained stubbornly stuck at the 29th Rank, unmoving.

Aside from a slight increase in physical strength.

That bottleneck that had plagued him for decades was like an insurmountable chasm.

It was simply not something a piece of thousand-year Whale Rubber could fill.

"How could this be..."

Yu Xiaogang slumped to the ground, his eyes vacant.

Ning Rongrong could level up after eating it, Yu Xiaotian could evolve after eating it—why was it only him?

"Is my talent really so poor that even heavenly treasures can't save me?"

Yu Luomian watched this scene, his brows tightly furrowed.

This script wasn't right?

He spoke with some impatience:

"Is it because Three-Eyed Demon hasn't eaten any dragon-blooded meat?"

"Try feeding it some soul beast meat with dragon bloodline!"

Hearing the word "feeding."

Yu Xiaogang's body stiffened abruptly.
