Whale Rubber! Heaven Dou Royal Academy (Seek follow-up reading)

On the way to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"By the way, Father, after I arrive at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, could you help me get a piece of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber?" Tang Yu suddenly remembered the whale rubber item.

He planned to eat one before absorbing his Four Rings, to further strengthen his physique.

"Whale Rubber?" Tang Tian looked at Tang Yu with surprise and warned very seriously, "Yu'er, you really have reached the age where thoughts of men and women start stirring."

"But as an upright man, you should use your own charm to win a woman's heart."

"Whether you like many women or bring me many daughters-in-law, I don't mind—as long as it's by your own skill and ability. Do not resort to crooked tricks!"

"Huh?" Tang Yu's face darkened.

"No, Father, you misunderstood. I need the whale rubber for a different use, not for any lewd purposes."

"Isn't whale rubber an aphrodisiac? What other use could it have?" Tang Tian asked, puzzled.

Tang Yu quickly explained, "Whale rubber is indeed an aphrodisiac, but it's also a supreme tonic of pure yang. If taken whole, it can strengthen a soul master's physique."

"Oh? It really has that effect?"

"Yes." Tang Yu nodded solemnly.

"Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber isn't easy to get! To obtain it, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the sea and hunt one myself." Tang Tian pondered, then quickly decided, "Alright! Once you're settled at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I'll first return to the sect to inform them of your training outside, then head straight to the sea to get you a piece of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber."

Whale-type soul beasts all dwell in the deep sea.

A land-based soul master's strength is greatly reduced at sea. Even a Soul Douluo-level expert could perish if they venture too deep.

The cost and mortality rate of deep-sea hunting are both high.

Since no one in this era knows the true function of whale rubber, few people would hunt a ten-thousand-year whale-type soul beast just for an aphrodisiac.

Usually, catching a few hundred-year or thousand-year ones is enough.

To get Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber, one really has to go hunt in the deep sea personally.

A week later, Tang Yu arrived at Sunset Forest again.

Meanwhile, the Bone Douluo, who had stormed into Shrek Academy in a rage, found nothing—Tang Yu had already left early. He said angrily, "Kid, you got lucky this time!"

"Don't let me find out where you are, or I'll teach you a lesson!"

Bone Douluo was reluctantly taken back to the sect by Sword Douluo.

Less than a month had passed since Tang Yu first came to Sunset Forest.

During that month, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan had both been at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

Dugu Bo had obtained a thousand-year Soul Bone for his granddaughter.

So the grandfather and granddaughter had spent the whole month there, forcing their own toxins into the Soul Bone.

"Senior Dugu Bo, you're still well, I see!"

Tang Yu's voice rang out.

Dugu Bo immediately stood to greet him, cupping his hands and saying, "Master!"

"No need to call me Master. Just call me by my name from now on—Tang Yu is fine." Tang Yu waved his hand and asked, "How have you been feeling this past while?"

Both Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan had joyful expressions.

"Ever since I forced the toxins into the Soul Bone, my cultivation has surged. Perhaps within a year, this old man can break through to Level 92!"

"My Soul Power has broken through to Level 37. My training speed feels much faster now. Thank you, Tang Yu." Dugu Yan smiled gratefully, no longer carrying that previous resentment.

Dugu Yan's talent was actually quite good. If not for the influence of her own toxins, she wouldn't be stuck at Level 37 at nineteen years old.

"That's good." Tang Yu nodded, then said, "I plan to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I'd like to ask Senior Dugu Bo to put in a word with the academy."

Dugu Bo said, "If I step in, Mas—uh, you can enroll anytime. We can go now, and Yan Yan can take you into the academy."

"Alright, let's go now then."

Everyone then walked out of Sunset Forest. Tang Tian reminded sternly, "Dugu Bo, my son is in your care for now. If anything happens to him, you know the consequences."

A cold sweat broke out on Dugu Bo's face. "Rest assured, even if it costs me my life, I will protect Tang Yu's safety."

Tang Tian nodded and left first to return to the sect.

"I hope Father can get the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber back before I break through Level 40." Tang Yu mused as he headed to Heaven Dou Royal Academy with the others.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy was located outside Heaven Dou City, also very close to Sunset Forest.

They could arrive within an hour.

On the way, Dugu Yan remembered the time Tang Yu had subdued her and couldn't help asking, "Hey, Tang Yu, how exactly did you manage to resist my poison back then?"

"You want to know?"

"Mm!" Dugu Yan nodded, her eyes full of confusion and doubt.

"I don't mind telling you." Tang Yu smiled. "No poison in the world can easily threaten me anymore, because I have a body that is Immune to All Poisons."

"What! Immune to All Poisons!?"

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were both astonished.

"No wonder, no wonder my poison had absolutely no effect on a Soul Grand Master like you." Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan felt much more balanced in her mind—it wasn't that she was weak, nor that Tang Yu was too strong; it was simply that her abilities happened to be countered.

She smiled and said, "Then let me introduce you to Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy doesn't have a principal position. Instead, a teaching committee of three Soul Douluo-level chairmen handles all major and minor affairs of the academy. They are Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin."

"In this academy, students are divided into three levels: Heavenly Micro Level, Heavenly Ultimate Level, and Heaven Dou Level."

"Those with strength below level 25 are Heavenly Micro Level."

"Level 25 to level 30 are Heavenly Ultimate Level students."

"Those above level 30 are Heaven Dou Level, the key trainees of Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Tang Yu nodded and asked, "I want to know, has the academy started selecting participants for the next Soul Master Competition?"

"Not yet."

"Wait, you're not thinking of representing Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the Soul Master Competition, are you?" Dugu Yan said with a suspicious look.

"Yeah! What's the problem?"

Dugu Yan shook her head repeatedly. "Although Heaven Dou Royal Academy is an aristocratic academy with a bunch of useless noble brats, it's still an imperial royal academy with plenty of geniuses!"

"There's less than two years until the next competition starts. You probably haven't broken through to Three Rings yet, right? Your chances of participating are very low. You might as well wait for the next one."

In Dugu Yan's eyes, Tang Yu was still a two-ring Soul Master. No matter how strong the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul was, a two-ring Tang Yu couldn't possibly represent Heaven Dou in the competition.

Working hard to get onto Heaven Dou Team Two and fight there—that was still possible.

But Dugu Bo had already seen through everything, and he was especially shocked inside: "Level 38! He's actually a level 38 Soul Elder! Tian Na! How is this possible!"
