Flender: Thanks for the Intel, Brother Xiaogang!

Whale Rubber caused an unprecedented storm across the two Parallel Worlds of Douluo Continent.

However, this storm was still only in its initial stages.

Everyone was waiting for the day when Yu Xiaogang on the Heavenly Screen would truly use Whale Rubber to improve his physical constitution and obtain a Spirit Ring.

They wanted to know exactly how many years Whale Rubber could increase the age of the Spirit Ring they obtained.

[The video continued...]

[After confirming that Whale Rubber could improve physical constitution, Yu Xiaogang and Ye Hengchuan turned their attention to Thousand Year Whale Rubber.]

["Xiao Gang, are you going to take the Whale Rubber now?"]

["If you want to take it now, Uncle Ye will directly get you Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber!"]

[Ye Hengchuan thumped his chest and spoke with absolute confidence.]

[However, what greeted him was Yu Xiaogang's rather complicated gaze.]

["Uh, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"]

[Ye Hengchuan scratched the back of his head, looking completely baffled.]

["Uncle Ye, we've only discovered that Whale Rubber can be used to strengthen the body. But what about the side effects? How should it be used? Is it dangerous? What is the limit of its strengthening effects? We don't know any of that."]

["Under these circumstances, if I just take it directly, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to digest Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber and will be forced to death by its medicinal effects?"]

[Yu Xiaogang spoke with an utterly helpless expression.]

[He had realized that although Douluo Continent was a fantasy world and there were cases of using medicine to assist cultivation, Soul Masters' understanding of those heavenly treasures was extremely limited.]

["Ah, this... Tsk, Uncle Ye was indeed being careless. Fortunately, you're smart, Xiao Gang."]

[Ye Hengchuan imagined the scene Yu Xiaogang had described, and cold sweat immediately broke out across his back.]

[If Yu Xiaogang had really taken it directly and something had gone wrong afterward, he would have had no way to answer to Big Brother Yu.]

["All right. Now that we've confirmed that Whale Rubber can strengthen the body, the next step is to continue experimenting."]

["This time, let's use Hundred Year Whale Rubber. By the way, Uncle Ye, do we still have enough Whale Rubber in the clan's stores?"]

[Hearing Yu Xiaogang's question, Ye Hengchuan gave him a reassuring look.]

["Whale Rubber is a relatively popular product, and the nobles love it, so the clan bought a large amount. There's definitely enough!"]

["That's good!"]

[Hearing Ye Hengchuan's words, Yu Xiaogang nodded. At the same time, he sighed inwardly. Fortunately, his father was a Titled Douluo and the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.]

[If he had been born a commoner, it would have been utterly impossible for him to mobilize resources like this, conduct experiments, and search for a way to defy fate and change his destiny.]

[Thus, the second round of experiments began.]

[This time, Yu Xiaogang fed Hundred Year Whale Rubber to ten pigs.]

[He also had people bind the pigs with sturdier ropes.]

[And so, another night of squealing pigs began.]

[When the third day arrived, Yu Xiaogang and Ye Hengchuan returned to the pigsty. What had happened inside made both of them frown.]

["You mean nine of the ten pigs died?"]

[Ye Hengchuan asked in disbelief.]

["That's right. They bled from all seven orifices. We examined them, and their insides were a complete mess. They died horribly."]

[A Soul Master spoke with a sigh.]

[It was the first time he had ever seen someone die in such a manner.]

["Take us inside to have a look."]

[Ye Hengchuan and Yu Xiaogang exchanged a glance before speaking.]

[Led by that Soul Master, the two of them personally saw the domestic pigs that had died so tragically. They were indeed in a terrible state.]

[The only pig that had survived had done so because the age of the Whale Rubber it had taken had only just reached one hundred years, allowing it to survive by sheer luck.]

[Even so, that pig was sprawled on the ground, looking half dead.]

[Seeing the miserable condition of the pigs, Ye Hengchuan once again felt fortunate that Yu Xiaogang had rejected his earlier suggestion to take Whale Rubber directly.]

["Xiao Gang, Whale Rubber over a hundred years old is too dangerous. The slightest mistake means death. I think it'll be enough for you to eat some that's only a few decades old to improve yourself."]

[Ye Hengchuan spoke.]

[Originally, Ye Hengchuan had thought that forcibly enduring without allowing the medicinal effects to dissipate would at worst be uncomfortable. But now, it seemed that it could cost someone their life.]

In the Black-and-White World, everyone who had been frantically purchasing Whale Rubber froze when they saw this.

They looked at the Hundred Year and Thousand Year Whale Rubber in their hands, suddenly unsure whether they should continue collecting it.

After all, if this stuff was used incorrectly, it could directly cost them their lives.

In the Dark World, at the largest apothecary in Suotuo City.

Not long ago, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others, unwilling to give up, had followed Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others to the apothecary, determined to buy Whale Rubber no matter what.

After Flender employed all kinds of fancy rhetoric and even used his Soul Saint strength to threaten the shopkeeper, he finally convinced the man to sell them several pieces of Thousand Year Whale Rubber.

Just as the two sides were about to complete the transaction, the results of the second round of experiments appeared.

Gulp!

Looking at the pigs that had died horribly on the Heavenly Screen, Ma Hongjun swallowed.

"Teacher, I suddenly feel that we should just absorb Spirit Rings the way we originally did. There's no real need for Whale Rubber or anything like that."

He was scared now. Ma Hongjun didn't want to bleed from all seven orifices and die like those pigs.

"That's right, Dean. There's no need. We can just follow the normal method."

Dai Mubai, who had worn a long, gloomy expression ever since the Whale Rubber information had appeared, finally smiled.

Seeing that the situation was turning unfavorable while he was trading with Flender, the apothecary owner immediately tried to pull the money from Flender's hand.

Unfortunately, how could he possibly be a match for a Soul Saint?

Flender seemed to have been electrocuted as he snatched the moneybag back and tossed the several pieces of Thousand Year Whale Rubber onto the counter.

"...Customer, you already confirmed that you wanted to buy it. Isn't it a little inappropriate to act like this now?"

The apothecary owner still tried to struggle.

Unfortunately, he was facing Flender.

"What do you mean, welching on the deal? I haven't received the goods. Since the goods never reached my hands, it doesn't count!"

"Hongjun, Mubai, let's go."

"Fortunately, the transaction didn't succeed. If it had, and then this scene appeared, I would have suffered a huge loss."

"Hahaha, Xiao Gang really is my good brother. Even Xiao Gang from a Parallel World wouldn't cheat me."

Flender left the apothecary with Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, looking immensely relieved.

As he left, he even kept giving the Heavenly Screen a thumbs-up.

Watching Flender's departing back, the apothecary owner's face turned livid.

He had threatened him for so long and had already been prepared to complete the transaction, only for it to fall through like this.

If Flender hadn't been a Soul Saint, he would have cursed him until he was covered in dung.

"Hmph, so you're from Shrek Academy, are you? Just let me get the chance. If I don't bleed you dry once I have the opportunity, I'll take your name!"

The apothecary owner continued watching the Heavenly Screen while cursing.

He refused to believe it.

Since the Heavenly Screen had chosen to broadcast these events, it proved that they had influenced the future of that Dragon God Douluo.

He would bet that Whale Rubber was useful. The only problem was that the method of using it on the Heavenly Screen was wrong.
