Hundred-Year Whale Rubber! Tang Hao's Shock!

"Little San, this is the Whale Rubber you wanted. The best Nuoding City can currently buy is this Hundred-Year Whale Rubber. Are you sure it can really strengthen the body and raise the age limit for absorbing Soul Rings?"

"Should I find a woman to keep on standby? She might come in handy at a critical moment."

Tang Hao placed a boxed, foul-smelling lump on the table and frowned as he spoke.

He had even considered finding a woman for Tang San in advance.

If eating the Whale Rubber really caused that sort of thing, then that woman could help Tang San vent his desires.

However, Tang San was not that kind of person, and he had great confidence in his own judgment.

Thus, he shook his head. "No need. Dad, based on what I learned from books, Whale Rubber definitely has this effect. The reason people misunderstand it as something only useful for that sort of thing is entirely because they are using it incorrectly. That is merely a side effect."

Tang Hao frowned. "But when I traveled the continent in the past, I never heard that Whale Rubber had such an effect or any other method of use. Tell me, then. What is the correct way to use it?"

"Use high heat to melt it into liquid, then consume the liquid. That will prevent the side effects. It can directly strengthen the body and increase the age limit of Soul Ring absorption."

"I plan for my First Soul Ring to be as close to a Thousand Year Soul Ring as possible. With my current physical strength, plus this Whale Rubber, there should not be much of a problem. Besides, I will be absorbing a Plant Soul Beast. My Martial Soul is the Blue Silver Emperor inherited from Mother, the Emperor among plant species. Even if its bloodline has not awakened yet, it still has a suppressive effect on other plants by virtue of its status. And absorbing a higher-age Soul Ring will greatly raise my Soul Power Level as well. Coupled with the Soul Power I have suppressed for the past three months, my Soul Power will soar by then."

"That way, I can save a great deal of time that would otherwise be spent on arduous Soul Power cultivation."

Tang San spoke.

With the help of medicinal baths, nutritional supplements, the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and body tempering through hammer techniques over the past three months, he had not only grown taller and stronger, with abundant vitality, but his strength had also improved drastically.

Clearly, the choices he had made over the past three months had been correct.

He had also taken this opportunity to reveal the matter of Whale Rubber.

"If that is true, then this Whale Rubber, which the world despises, will soon become a recognized treasure across the continent."

"And if your First Soul Ring is a Thousand Year Soul Ring, then you probably cannot attend that junior Soul Master Academy."

"After all, a Thousand Year First Soul Ring is far too conspicuous. Once it is exposed, even I may find it difficult to protect you."

Tang Hao spoke in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Father. For my First Soul Ring, I will absorb one at most eight or nine hundred years old. It will not be too late to absorb a Thousand Year Soul Ring for my Second Soul Ring. During this time, secretly gather Whale Rubber and do not leak any information. Only the two of us know about this on the continent, so there should not be much of a problem."

"Besides, attending the academy is only a transitional step for me. I will see the world and get to know those people. By the time I need to hunt for my Second Soul Ring, I can leave."

"Most importantly, unless a Soul Master is extremely high-level, they cannot determine the exact age of a Soul Ring directly from its color. In their eyes, my eight- or nine-hundred-year Soul Ring may only look about a hundred years old."

"Nuoding City is such a small place. It is even less likely that anyone here could tell."

Tang San was not worried.

After all, he was a transmigrator who knew the plot well.

Even Yu Xiaogang would not be able to tell.

That man was nothing more than a useless half-baked fool.

In the Original Work, Tang San had been a naive fool who had just arrived in this world and knew nothing about its entirely new advancement and cultivation system. Naturally, Yu Xiaogang's seemingly comprehensive theories had fooled him. In truth, anyone who thought carefully could find that Yu Xiaogang's words were riddled with holes. Unfortunately, the original Tang San might not have been very intelligent, so he had never given them much thought.

But Tang San was different.

If Yu Xiaogang dared to come looking for him, he would not mind humiliating him.

"Fine."

"I'll melt it for you now."

After hearing this, Tang Hao also felt that Tang San's words made a great deal of sense.

He picked up the Whale Rubber, walked over to the forging station, and began building a fire. He then infused the core flame with the Soul Power of a Titled Douluo, causing its temperature to surge instantly.

He placed the Whale Rubber in a ceramic bowl and set it in the fire to roast.

Only one minute passed.

The Hundred-Year Whale Rubber in the bowl instantly turned into golden liquid.

"Golden liquid. It really is just as you predicted. You truly are my son."

Tang Hao spoke in surprise. He reached out and touched it, only to find that the golden liquid was not hot but cool.

That was one of Whale Rubber's characteristics.

After all, it was extracted from whales in the deep sea.

Tang Hao handed the bowl to Tang San.

Tang San took it and drank it directly.

He then sat cross-legged and circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, beginning a thorough absorption process.

Tang San could clearly feel every part of his body being strengthened by the power of the Hundred-Year Whale Rubber.

Tang Hao carefully observed Tang San with the Spiritual Power of a Titled Douluo, mainly worried that the Whale Rubber might cause unnecessary harm to Tang San's body.

However, the Bloodline Power emanating from Tang San was clearly stronger than it had been an incense stick ago, and Tang Hao visibly relaxed.

"Whale Rubber really can strengthen the body."

"This time, we truly found a treasure. Whale Rubber is cheap right now. It seems I can gather more and store it before this secret is exposed."

"As expected of my son, Tang Hao's son. Steady in temperament and exceptionally intelligent. It seems the hope of revenge for us father and son is even greater in the future."

Anticipation gleamed in Tang Hao's eyes. The more he looked at Tang San now, the more he adored him.

This precious son was truly the apple of his eye.

He saw the shadow of his beloved Ah Yin in him.

Soon, Tang San's aura steadied, and he opened his eyes.

He had completely refined it.

His body was now terrifyingly powerful.

Tang San asked curiously, "Dad, help me examine it carefully. What level has my body reached now?"

"Mm, all right."

Tang Hao nodded, reached out to grasp Tang San's arm, and carefully sensed it. He said in astonishment, "Your body is now comparable to that of a Three-Ring Soul Elder. Incredible, truly incredible. Theoretically, absorbing a Thousand Year Soul Ring should not pose much of a problem."

Even Tang Hao himself had not reached this level in the past.

It was simply outrageous.

His son was practically a monstrous prodigy.

At the same time, he became even more excited.

He also felt even more guilty over having wasted six good years. If he had started training Tang San sooner during those six years, who knew how formidable he would be by now.

"Little San, how about absorbing a Thousand Year Plant Soul Ring? Forget the Soul Master Academy. Your old man will personally take you traveling across the continent and teach you a method to conceal Soul Power and Soul Rings."

"Of course, it can only conceal them temporarily when used. It cannot hide them forever."

Suddenly, a wild thought flashed through Tang Hao's eyes.

He planned to nurture an unparalleled prodigy with a Thousand Year First Soul Ring.

It could also be considered compensation to the Clear Sky Sect in the future.

With Tang Hao's son being such a prodigy, he was destined to be extraordinary.
