Absorbing Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber! Tang Hao Breaks Through to Level Ninety-Five Titled Douluo!

Tang Hao felt a warm current surge through his heart as he looked at his son's determined eyes.

He was silent for a moment before finally nodding. "All right, we'll do as you say."

Tang San smiled in relief and handed the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber to Tang Hao. "Dad, melt it first."

Tang Hao took the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber. It felt heavy in his hand, and its surface shimmered with a dark red luster.

He pondered for a moment before saying, "Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber is much harder than Hundred Year and Thousand Year Whale Rubber. It may not melt that quickly over a large fire."

As he spoke, he walked over to the fire that had already been lit and tossed the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber into the roaring flames.

The flames instantly swallowed the Whale Rubber, but surprisingly, under the scorching of ordinary fire, the Whale Rubber remained completely motionless. Even its color did not change in the slightest.

"Just as I thought."

Tang Hao was not surprised. He circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and the surging Soul Power of a Peak Level 94 burst forth, condensing into a ball of searing energy in his palm.

He formed a hand seal with one hand, and a stream of pure Soul Power shot into the fire. The flames immediately changed from orange-red to a dusky blue, and the temperature rose sharply.

Under the support of Titled Douluo-level Soul Power, the flames finally began to take effect.

Fine bubbles gradually appeared across the surface of the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber, accompanied by a sizzling sound.

A rich, fishy smell spread through the air, mixed with a trace of strange fragrance.

Tang San stood to the side, watching the process without blinking.

He saw fine beads of sweat appear on his father's forehead. Clearly, maintaining such a high temperature consumed a tremendous amount of Soul Power.

Time passed second by second. After an entire incense stick's worth of time, the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber finally began to soften.

Tang Hao did not dare relax in the slightest. He continued circulating his Soul Power, and the temperature of the flames rose once again.

Suddenly, a fine crack split across the surface of the Whale Rubber, and a dazzling golden light burst out from within.

As more and more cracks appeared, the entire piece of Whale Rubber finally melted completely, turning into a pool of flowing golden liquid that rolled and boiled in the flames.

"Now!"

Tang Hao let out a low shout and reached out to grab the air. The mass of golden liquid flew out of the flames and hovered in midair.

The surface of the liquid shimmered with a strange luster. Countless tiny grains of gold seemed to be flowing within it.

Tang Hao opened his mouth and inhaled. The golden liquid turned into a thin stream and shot directly into his mouth.

In an instant, a powerful Soul Power Fluctuation erupted around him. Nine Soul Rings appeared of their own accord, shining brilliantly in the dim room.

Tang San watched his father nervously. Tang Hao's face was flushed, his veins bulging as he clearly endured the impact of an enormous amount of energy.

The vast energy contained within the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber was rampaging through his body.

If a Level 16 Soul Master like him absorbed it, that terrifying energy would very likely cause him to explode and die.

"Dad, circulate the Mysterious Heaven Skill and guide the energy!" Tang San hurriedly reminded him.

Tang Hao nodded heavily and formed hand seals with both hands. The Soul Power around him surged like a tide.

The unique pale-blue halo of the Mysterious Heaven Skill flowed across his skin, gradually calming the violent energy.

The thatched hut creaked under the pressure of a Titled Douluo's Soul Power. Without the protection of the barrier, it would probably have collapsed long ago.

Tang San could clearly feel his father's Aura climbing at an astonishing speed.

Suddenly, Tang Hao's Ninth Soul Ring shone brightly, and his entire Aura rose sharply.

He let out a long howl that shook the surroundings, startling a flock of birds in the mountain forest beyond the barrier.

"Success! Level Ninety-Five!" Tang Hao opened his eyes, which gleamed with dazzling light.

He felt the surging power within his body, and the hidden injuries he had suffered over the years were completely healed at that moment.

What delighted him even more was that the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber had not only helped him break through his bottleneck, but had also raised his Physical Body Strength to another level.

One had to know that his physical body was already quite strong!

He placed great importance on tempering his physical body!

"This piece of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber really is extraordinary."

Tang Hao stretched his muscles and bones, his joints cracking. "I feel that my current Physical Body Strength is enough to withstand the full-force attack of an ordinary Titled Douluo with ease."

Tang San said happily, "Congratulations, Dad! With this, our safety is even more assured."

Tang Hao nodded and shifted his gaze to the remaining pieces of Whale Rubber. "Now it's time to prepare some Hundred Year Whale Rubber for you."

He repeated the same process, first tossing the Five Hundred Year Whale Rubber into the fire.

This time, with the support of a Titled Douluo's Soul Power, the Five Hundred Year Whale Rubber quickly melted into golden liquid.

"Little San, get ready," Tang Hao reminded him.

"Mm, go ahead!"

Tang San sat down cross-legged and adjusted his breathing.

When the mass of golden liquid flew into his mouth, he immediately circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, guiding the energy through every part of his body.

Compared with the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber, the energy of the Five Hundred Year Whale Rubber was much gentler, but it still placed considerable pressure on Tang San.

He clenched his teeth and circulated his cultivation method with all his might, feeling his physical body gradually strengthen under the energy's cleansing.

Time passed quickly. Once the final trace of energy had been absorbed, Tang San slowly opened his eyes and was delighted to discover that his Physical Body Strength had indeed risen by a significant amount.

"How do you feel?" Tang Hao asked with concern.

"Very good!"

"Dad, help me check."

Tang San stood up and felt the surging power within his body.

"Mm."

Tang Hao reached out and gripped Tang San's arm, carefully sensing it. He then smiled and said, "Your current Physical Body Strength should have reached Peak Soul Elder and be very close to the Four-Ring Soul Ancestor level. Properly refine the remaining medicinal power, and breaking through to Four-Ring Soul Ancestor shouldn't be difficult."

Tang San nodded in satisfaction. "That's excellent. I shouldn't continue taking Nine Hundred Year Whale Rubber in the short term. Otherwise, my physical body may not be able to withstand it, and it could very well have the opposite effect."

"Let's return to the academy first. Tomorrow, I'll ask the academy for leave, and then we'll head to the Soul Beast Forest to search for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Spiritual Medicines to help me raise my Spiritual Power."

Tang Hao nodded. "All right."

Father and son exchanged a smile, extinguished the fire, and packed everything away.

There was no denying that tonight's harvest had been well worth it.

As long as they continued to Develop Stealthily like this, they would definitely be able to prevent the unfortunate events from the Original Work from happening.

By the time they appeared before the world again, they would no longer need to worry about Spirit Hall's revenge.

In this life, Tang San was destined to follow a path completely different from the Original Work.

Shrek Academy?

The Continental High-Level Soul Master Elite Tournament?

Sorry, I'm not joining, and I won't participate in the tournament either.

This so-called tournament is practically just putting on a show for outsiders.

Tang San truly could not understand why they had to participate in and hold such an event.

Wouldn't it be better to Develop Stealthily and then astonish everyone?

They had to show off in front of others, inviting suspicion and targeting from every side.

It was simply a brainless act.

Tang San strongly condemned such behavior!

As for making a name for themselves and satisfying their vanity?

Sorry, I don't care about that at all!

You all can go on playing by yourselves!

I, Tang San, will walk my own path!

Tang Hao picked Tang San up again and soared into the sky, flying toward Nuoding City.

Under the moonlight, Tang San looked at his father's resolute profile, his heart filled with hope.

With the full support of his father, a Level Ninety-Five Titled Douluo, and with a divine treasure like Whale Rubber, his path of growth would surely become much smoother.

Not long after they left, the barrier outside the thatched hut quietly disappeared, leaving behind only a faint trace of strange fragrance that slowly drifted away in the Night Wind.
