Grandmaster: Overestimating Yourself! Medicine Isn't Something You Can Use Carelessly!

Dark World, Shrek Academy.

"Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber, and so much of it too... slurp... I'm so jealous of the Grandmaster in the Heavenly Screen."

Ma Hongjun stared enviously at the box full of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber in the Heavenly Screen.

Right now, let alone Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber, he could not even get Thousand Year Whale Rubber or Hundred Year Whale Rubber.

He knew perfectly well that Whale Rubber could strengthen a soul master's physique and allow them to obtain higher-aged Spirit Rings, but although he wanted it, he had no way of acquiring it at all.

Tang San beside him also wore a gloomy expression.

Ever since the effects of Whale Rubber had been revealed, they had searched every pharmacy in all of Suotuo City, yet they had not been able to buy even a single piece of Hundred Year Whale Rubber.

Even Flender had activated his Martial Soul and flown to the surrounding towns, but the result had been the same.

Whenever he recalled the pharmacy owners looking at them disdainfully and saying that Spirit Hall prohibited the sale of Whale Rubber, killing intent could not help boiling up within Tang San.

Banning the sale of Whale Rubber to him and preventing him from obtaining higher-aged Spirit Rings already counted as a grudge of blocking his path.

Therefore, at this moment, Spirit Hall had already become a force Tang San was destined to oppose in the future.

Those pharmacy owners had also embarked upon the Way of Seeking Death!

"Hmph! Once I establish the Tang Sect in the future, I'll definitely make a dark and filthy force like Spirit Hall pay the price sooner or later!"

Tang San, who had already begun considering establishing his own Tang Sect on Douluo Continent, thought to himself.

When the time came, he would naturally be the Tang Sect's master, while his teacher could serve as one of its elders.

With that thought, Tang San looked toward the Grandmaster beside him, only to see him staring excitedly at the Heavenly Screen.

"Teacher, did you discover something?"

Tang San walked over to the Grandmaster and asked curiously.

"Ah? No. I just think that Yu Xiaogang in the Heavenly Screen is being far too reckless!"

The Grandmaster turned to Tang San, the smile still on his face.

"Oh? How so?"

Tang San asked curiously.

The others also looked toward the Grandmaster upon hearing his words.

With everyone watching him, the Grandmaster seemed to return to how he had been before. He proudly raised his head.

"You should all know that when using medicinal herbs, you should try to choose something suitable for yourself."

"If a medicine's effects are too strong, that can be harmful as well. Take Ginseng, for example. If it is too old, it can nourish the body excessively."

The Grandmaster stood tall, looking every bit like an expert.

"With something like Whale Rubber, using the wrong age would make the consequences even more severe."

"The pigs used in those previous experiments that exploded and died were examples of that."

"And for a child under ten years old to directly consume something as intensely nourishing and yang as Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber—"

"If he isn't harmed by the excessive nourishment, then I'll write my name, Yu Xiaogang, backward!"

The Grandmaster spoke with absolute certainty. He was also Yu Xiaogang; how could he not know what his own body had been like at eight or nine years old?

Thus, he was certain that Yu Xiaogang in the Heavenly Screen would never be able to withstand the medicinal effects of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber.

"So that's how it is."

The people from Shrek Academy beside him were also convinced by the Grandmaster's theory.

This was because, among all the theories they had heard from the Grandmaster so far, this explanation sounded the most reasonable.

"Hmph, so what if he became a Titled Douluo? When he was young, he was still greedy, reckless, and incapable of knowing his limits."

Dai Mubai snorted twice and spoke with heavy sarcasm.

At present, other than the Grandmaster himself, he was likely the person on all Douluo Continent who resented Yu Xiaogang in the Heavenly Screen the most.

After all, it was that man who had brought him his deepest despair.

So at this moment, he was already prepared to watch Dragon God Douluo make a fool of himself.

Besides the people of Shrek Academy, others had thought of this as well. They all wore expressions of anticipation as they waited for what would happen next.

After all, watching someone make a fool of themselves—especially a powerful person—would always stir people's desire.

[The footage continued...]

[After taking the Whale Rubber, Yu Xiaogang weighed it in his hand twice. It was heavy, like an iron ingot.]

[He brought the Whale Rubber to his nose and took a sniff. A fishy smell that was not particularly pungent rushed straight into his mind, while a faint fragrance was hidden within it.]

["It actually smells pretty nice."]

[Yu Xiaogang remarked, then looked toward Yu Yuanzhen.]

["Father, I'll be relying on you while I refine the Whale Rubber."]

["Don't worry. I won't let anyone disturb you."]

[Yu Yuanzhen nodded.]

["...Father, hasn't the clan ever tried letting someone who hasn't even obtained their first Spirit Ring refine Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber?"]

[After hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words and seeing that he did not seem prepared to do anything, Yu Xiaogang fell silent for a moment before asking helplessly.]

["Of course not. Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber is scarce. How could it possibly be used on someone who has not even obtained their first Spirit Ring?"]

["According to the clan's plans, if a clan member wanted to use Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber before obtaining their first Spirit Ring, they would need Innate Soul Power of at least rank eight."]

[Yu Yuanzhen spoke as though it were only natural, but he quickly realized something.]

["Xiao Gang, you mean..."]

["Exactly what you're thinking, Father. If I consume Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber, I'll definitely be overnourished."]

[Yu Xiaogang sighed and gave Yu Yuanzhen a rather speechless glance. He had already noticed that people on Douluo Continent basically never thought deeply about anything.]

[For many things, they only looked at the surface information and stopped there.]

[As a result, the information hidden deeper down was often overlooked.]

["I'm only a little over eight years old now. Refining Thousand Year Whale Rubber would be fine, but I absolutely can't withstand Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber."]

["Weren't those pigs that died in the experiments the same? They were overnourished."]

[Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, cold sweat broke out across Yu Yuanzhen's back. Only then did he realize that they had overlooked far too much regarding Whale Rubber.]

["Then if that's the case, Xiao Gang, wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to use Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber?"]

[Yu Yuanzhen asked cautiously.]

["That's why I said I needed your help, Father."]

[Yu Xiaogang pressed a hand to his forehead. Was it really appropriate for an adult to ask a child such a question?]

["Father, you're a Titled Douluo. You're incredibly powerful."]

["If you act, you can use your Soul Power to protect the Meridians in my body and help me refine the medicinal effects of the Whale Rubber."]

["Wouldn't that mean there's no need to worry about anything going wrong?"]

[Yu Xiaogang explained the method he had long since thought out.]

[For soul masters, the Meridians throughout the body were the most important thing. All Soul Power circulated through the Meridians.]

[As long as the Meridians remained completely unharmed, even if the body was injured or even mutilated, it was possible to find a way to heal oneself on Douluo Continent.]

[Therefore, as long as his father acted to protect his Meridians, Yu Xiaogang could safely refine the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber.]

[Even if the medicinal effects injured his muscles or bones, he could simply recover afterward.]

[Only because he had a Titled Douluo for a father did Yu Xiaogang have this option. Otherwise, he could only obediently refine Thousand Year Whale Rubber...]

[No, that wasn't right. If he did not have his father, where would he have gotten the chance to learn about the effects of Whale Rubber in the first place?]

[In the end, neither Whale Rubber nor knowledge was the true capital that allowed him to defy fate.]

[What had truly given him the capital to defy fate had always been his father, whose strength had reached the level of a Titled Douluo.]

[Of course, being able to make use of the advantages his father's status gave him was also Yu Xiaogang's own ability.]

[Someone else with a Titled Douluo father might not necessarily have been able to accomplish anything.]
