Grandmaster: Don't worry, Little San. I'll definitely find you an even better Spirit Ring!

[The first-stage comparison has been completed. Tomorrow, at the same time, the second-stage comparison video will be played.]

The Dark World, Shrek Academy.

The Heavenly Screen paused its broadcast, allowing everyone to let out a sigh of relief.

After watching for so long, they truly needed time to digest the information on the Heavenly Screen.

As they digested it, everyone remembered Yu Xiaogang on the Heavenly Screen completing the refinement of the Whale Rubber.

They also remembered Grandmaster's earlier confident assertion.

For a moment, everyone's gaze turned toward Grandmaster.

"How interesting. Some people, unable to do anything themselves, assume that no one else can do anything either."

"Are you dumbfounded now? Speaking of which, Grandmaster, you and the Dragon God Douluo on the Heavenly Screen clearly have the same thing in common—you both have Thunder Douluo as your father."

"Why did he know how to ride his father's coattails, while you ended up like this?"

"And, Grandmaster, you said earlier that if that Dragon God Douluo wasn't crippled by his supplements, you'd write your name backward."

"So how should we address you now? Gang Xiaoyu?"

Ning Rongrong looked at Grandmaster with amusement.

From the moment the Heavenly Screen appeared and revealed that they had originally possessed the same talent, yet the other had become a titled Douluo while Grandmaster was trapped at Level 29, she had never believed a single word Yu Xiaogang said again.

Someone like this was worthy of being called Grandmaster?

It was simply hilarious.

If the person before her could be called Grandmaster, then what should the Dragon God Douluo on the Heavenly Screen be called?

"Ning Rongrong, shut up! My teacher isn't someone you can criticize!"

Tang San stepped in front of Ning Rongrong, cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Tsk. To be honest, I've never understood this. No matter how you put it, Tang San, you're a genius."

"Why do you trust Yu Xiaogang, someone who can't even break through Level 29, so much?"

"He hasn't even broken through Level 29. Where did he get the confidence to teach you?"

"Not to mention anything else, does he know how powerful a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast is? Does he know how to cultivate after Level 40?"

"He knows none of that."

Ning Rongrong met Tang San's gaze without the slightest fear.

"Let me ask you this: If someone who doesn't even know these things confidently guides you and makes a mistake, what will you do?"

"You should know that all his cultivation theories after Level 30 are nothing but his own conjecture. He himself has never truly experienced any of it!"

Ning Rongrong's questions caused the killing intent in Tang San's heart to intensify.

How dare you mock my teacher like this? Ning Rongrong, you are courting death.

Of course, Tang San neither would nor dared to attack Ning Rongrong at this moment. After all, Ning Rongrong's identity was enough to make him wary.

He merely silently recorded today's grudge. In the future, he would definitely make Ning Rongrong—and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect behind her—pay the price.

As for his teacher's failure to reach Level 30, and the question of his own cultivation after Level 30, Tang San believed that cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill and possessing the Tang Sect's inheritance were the foundations upon which he would establish himself in Douluo Continent.

As for Martial Souls, he only needed to cultivate them casually.

After all, he possessed twin useless Martial Souls. He should never have achieved what he had today.

Without the Mysterious Heaven Skill, perhaps he, too, would have been unable to break through Level 29 for his entire life, just like his teacher.

Considering that he had achieved so much at his current age, what more could he possibly be dissatisfied with?

"The Martial Soul system is merely a side path to me. My true trump card will always be everything from the Tang Sect."

At this moment, Tang San felt proud of the Tang Sect inheritance he had obtained. He looked down on everyone from Douluo Continent with an air of superiority.

"Little San, thank you."

Unaware that Tang San was looking down on them with the mindset of a higher-dimensional reincarnator viewing a group of lower-dimensional natives, Grandmaster looked at Tang San with gratitude.

When everyone else looked down on him, only his disciple Tang San was still willing to believe in him.

How fortunate he was to have accepted such a disciple.

"I must find a path suited to Little San, allowing him to stand at the top of the continent in the future and prove my abilities to everyone."

Grandmaster thought about this with emotion.

He had already decided that when Tang San obtained his next Spirit Ring, he would find a more suitable Soul Beast for him.

"Let me think. Little San's Blue Silver Grass has already begun to show signs of its control ability."

"But his poison isn't potent enough, so I need to find a Soul Beast with even more vicious poison."

At this thought, Grandmaster's eyes lit up. He had remembered an extremely rare Poison Attribute Soul Beast.

"That's right, the Death Demon Spider. This Soul Beast is very suitable for Little San."

"The Death Demon Spider itself possesses deadly poison, and it also has some Death Attribute abilities. The Death Attribute can weaken Soul Masters and further improve Little San's control ability."

"This is simply the most suitable Soul Beast for Little San right now! How did I not think of it before?"

Yu Xiaogang was filled with delight. He planned to go back and look up information on the Death Demon Spider before telling Tang San this pleasant surprise.

Meanwhile, at Spirit Hall.

"Is that it?"

Hu Liena stood below, her face full of reluctance to see it end.

She still wanted to know exactly how many years old the Dragon God Douluo's first Spirit Ring had been.

"All right, Nana. You've watched for so long. It's time for you to begin today's cultivation."

Bibi Dong looked down from her throne, then glanced at Xie Yue and Yan beside Hu Liena.

"And you two as well. Cultivate properly. I've already arranged for people to collect the Whale Rubber. Before you obtain your next Spirit Rings, each of you will be able to refine a piece of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber."

"Cherish this hard-won opportunity! Do you understand?"

"Understood. Rest assured, Your Holiness. With the help of the Whale Rubber, we'll definitely obtain Spirit Rings that surpass our limits!"

Yan, standing beside Xie Yue, stepped forward and spoke first.

"Rest assured, Teacher. We absolutely won't disgrace you!"

Hu Liena also spoke with a confident expression.

Seeing the confidence on Hu Liena's face, Bibi Dong's expression softened somewhat. She spoke gently.

"Then go cultivate. In the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament a few years from now, your teacher has prepared gifts for you."

After speaking for a little longer, Bibi Dong dismissed the three of them, then turned her attention to Elder Ju, Yue Guan, and Ghost Douluo, Gui Mei.

"Yue Guan, Gui Mei."

"Here!"

"The appearance of the Heavenly Screen means that Douluo Continent will not remain peaceful from now on. Tell the people below that if they encounter anything similar to Whale Rubber in the future, they don't need to report it to us. They are to issue a ban directly."

"Understood!"

"Also, establish several more branch halls in the coastal towns and have them oversee matters overseas. I only learned today that a treasure like Whale Rubber also exists in the ocean."

"Adding the Soul Beasts in the sea, does that mean that, like the Star Dou Great Forest, the ocean is also hiding many secrets unknown to us?"

Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes and looked outside the great hall, as though she could see the ocean far away on the horizon.

"This..."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat uncertain.

Because they felt that Her Holiness the Pope made a great deal of sense!

Glancing at the expressions of the two men below, Bibi Dong felt a little expectant.

Her second Martial Soul was still lacking many Spirit Rings.

If the ocean was also like the Star Dou Great Forest, could she find even more powerful Soul Beasts in the sea?
