Famed Title Douluo Escorting the Way, Refining Whale Rubber

With Yu Xiaogang's reminder, Yu Yuanzhen finally understood what he needed to do.

Watching Yu Xiaogang prepare to refine the Whale Rubber, he couldn't help sighing inwardly. Every time he conversed with his own son, he had the feeling that his son had transcended the Douluo Continent.

Whether it was his way of looking at problems or his understanding of certain things, he was always a level, or even several levels, above ordinary people.

"Heh heh, luckily he's my son!"

Yu Yuanzhen sighed emotionally before taking Yu Xiaogang to the cultivation room the clan had built over the past two years specifically for refining Whale Rubber.

As soon as they entered the cultivation room, a scorching sensation rushed toward them.

At the center of the cultivation room sat a figure meditating.

The figure had grizzled hair and a grizzled beard, but also a pair of crimson-red eyebrows that made him instantly unforgettable.

"Elder Yan, we're here to refine the Whale Rubber!"

Yu Yuanzhen called out to Elder Yan. Elder Yan opened his eyes and looked at Yu Yuanzhen.

"It's the clan master. You... It seems your esteemed son has reached level ten. He's much faster than most people in the clan expected."

Elder Yan rose and first saluted Yu Yuanzhen before looking at Yu Xiaogang.

"Elder Yan, I'll be troubling you in a moment."

Yu Xiaogang bowed to Elder Yan.

As one of the Upper Three Sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's strength naturally wasn't limited to the clan master and a few clan elders.

Although the clan master and elders were the clan's core, the clan also had affiliated forces, Guest Elders, and so on.

Thunder Academy, one of the renowned Five Elements Academies of the Douluo Continent, was backed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Besides that, several families that inherited Thunder Attribute Martial Souls also had countless ties to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Apart from its forces, there were also its experts. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had established the position of Guest Elder, and every person qualified to serve as a Guest Elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan possessed the strength of a Spirit Douluo.

Elder Yan, for example, was a level-eighty-two Spirit Douluo whose Martial Soul followed the Extreme School and possessed the fire attribute.

That was also why Elder Yan had become one of the people involved in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Whale Rubber affairs.

"Hahaha, what's there to trouble me about? It's just a small matter."

"Your old man has been curious about you for a long time. You discovered the secret of Whale Rubber at such a young age."

"Not simple at all."

Elder Yan stroked his beard and sighed.

"I only discovered Whale Rubber by luck because my talent was poor and I wanted to find a way to change that."

"To be honest, I really don't know whether this is my good fortune or my misfortune."

Yu Xiaogang wore a complicated expression.

"If you ask me, this might just be your good fortune. If Heaven wants you to walk an extraordinary path, it naturally has to set layers of obstacles before you."

"Only by crossing those obstacles can you truly become a great expert."

"Perhaps those with peerless talent walk a smooth road in the early stages, but if you can catch up with them, you definitely won't lose to them!"

Elder Yan's words rang out with force, as though he had already seen the day Yu Xiaogang rose to prominence.

Although his words carried a hint of flattering Yu Xiaogang, he was serious about one part of them.

That was, if Yu Xiaogang could truly catch up, he definitely wouldn't lose to those geniuses.

"Hahaha, Elder Yan, you're going a little too far. He's only just starting out. He's still got a long way to go."

Yu Yuanzhen said Elder Yan was exaggerating, but his smile didn't diminish in the slightest.

After some polite exchanges, Elder Yan took the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber Yu Xiaogang handed him. He gave Yu Yuanzhen a somewhat surprised look, then activated his Martial Soul and began refining the Whale Rubber.

Elder Yan's Martial Soul was called the Blazing Lion. The moment he activated his Martial Soul, the temperature in the entire cultivation room shot up by more than ten degrees.

Holding the Whale Rubber in his hand, he continuously roasted it. In just a moment, the crystal-like Whale Rubber turned into a pool of sticky liquid.

At the same time, a strong fishy odor and fragrance wafted out of the Whale Rubber.

"Boy, hurry up and eat it while it's hot!"

After finishing the roasting, Elder Yan dispelled his Martial Soul Possession and handed the Whale Rubber to Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang took the Whale Rubber without hesitation and directly put the scalding substance into his mouth.

"Ts—"

The scorching sensation instantly spread throughout his mouth. Yu Xiaogang hurriedly gathered his Soul Power around his lips and inside his mouth to keep the Whale Rubber from burning him.

After doing all that, Yu Xiaogang swallowed the Whale Rubber, then quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and circulated his Soul Power, preparing to refine its medicinal effects.

At the same time, Yu Yuanzhen came to Yu Xiaogang's side and placed both hands on his shoulders. Vast Soul Power entered Yu Xiaogang's body through his hands, escorting him and protecting him.

After only a moment, a scorching sensation began spreading from within Yu Xiaogang's body.

It flowed from his abdomen toward his limbs and every part of his body.

"Mm..."

A restless sensation wandered through Yu Xiaogang's body, making him involuntarily grunt twice.

However, Yu Xiaogang soon forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart and began focusing on refining the medicinal power.

Before long, Yu Yuanzhen, who was escorting and protecting Yu Xiaogang, felt something continuously flowing through the Meridians he was guarding.

Moreover, the flowing substance grew increasingly abundant. The Meridians were only so wide, so as the substance continuously accumulated, they gradually began to swell.

"This... It's a good thing Xiao Gang asked me to come help. Otherwise, the Whale Rubber's medicinal effects would definitely have burst Xiao Gang's Meridians by now."

Yu Yuanzhen's face was filled with relief.

He had already decided that after returning, he would properly ask Xiao Gang what other precautions were necessary regarding Whale Rubber.

Without Xiao Gang, if they had rashly let a clan genius refine Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber, they could have directly destroyed that genius.

With Yu Yuanzhen guarding the place, although the medicinal effects of the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber tried to break through Yu Xiaogang's Meridians, dealing with such a matter was incredibly easy for a Title Douluo.

Thus, although Yu Xiaogang constantly felt bloated throughout the refinement process, and although refining the Whale Rubber took far longer than it did for ordinary people,

the entire refinement process proceeded without the slightest mishap.

So, when the sun rose the next day and everything within Yu Xiaogang's body returned to calm, he slowly opened his eyes.

"How do you feel?"

Yu Yuanzhen, who had worked through the entire night, asked with a smile.

"I feel better physically than I ever have before!"

Yu Xiaogang raised his hand and clenched his fist. Strength filled his limbs and every part of his body. At that moment, Yu Xiaogang even felt that he could accomplish anything.

Of course, this feeling was merely an illusion brought about by his explosive increase in strength.

Yu Xiaogang wouldn't take this feeling as reality. His true strength would have to wait until he obtained his first Spirit Ring.

"My first Spirit Ring... I wonder what kind of Spirit Skill I'll obtain."
