Oh No, Teacher, Junior Brother Has Gone Bad

During this time, Yun Yuan's understanding of the Soul Master World deepened considerably, and his grasp of martial soul theory and the Soul Master World was no longer what it had been when he had first transmigrated.

When he had first arrived in Douluo Continent, Yun Yuan had actually been rather proud. He had read the original novel and enthusiastically discussed martial soul theory and the Soul Master World online.

In his view, his understanding of martial souls could not possibly be wrong. As a transmigrator with a god's-eye view, how could he lose to the natives of Douluo Continent in terms of knowledge?

But before Elder Yin, a true master of theory, and Qian Xunji, a pope with a profound understanding of the Soul Master World—

Yun Yuan realized that he had been wrong. He had underestimated the wisdom of Douluo Continent's Soul Masters far too much.

Over this past month, Yun Yuan had completely embraced his identity as the Martial Soul Hall Saint Son, rather than clinging to the identity of an arrogant transmigrator with a god's-eye view.

And over the course of that month, Yun Yuan's identity as the Saint Son had spread throughout all of Martial Soul Hall.

From Martial Soul Hall's elders to its younger generation, everyone knew that their Martial Soul Hall had produced its youngest-ever Saint Son.

To become the Martial Soul Hall Saint Son at the age when one had only just awakened a martial soul was something that had simply never been possible before.

Because of this, they were all curious just what kind of peerless genius Yun Yuan, Martial Soul Hall's Saint Son, was for Pope Qian Xunji to establish the position of Saint Son so quickly.

Within Yun Yuan's Saint Son Palace on Papal Palace Back Mountain.

Yun Yuan slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath, an involuntary sharp aura radiating from his body.

"One month. I've solidified my foundation in the Spear Dao, and my Spear Intent has improved somewhat as well. Not bad."

Yun Yuan's slightly excited voice rang out.

At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of the saying, "A towering building rises from level ground."

Over the past month, he had diligently studied the Spear Dao under Gu Feng, a Spear Dao expert of the Third Realm, reinforcing the foundations that had previously been lacking.

After solidifying his foundation in the Spear Dao, Yun Yuan discovered that the answers to many questions he had once failed to understand were gradually surfacing in his mind.

At that moment, a knock sounded from outside the palace doors.

Hearing it, Yun Yuan smiled. What he needed should have arrived.

Not long ago, using his authority as the Saint Son, he had ordered a fire-attribute Soul Master from Martial Soul Hall to purchase some Whale Rubber and process it according to his instructions.

Now, the Whale Rubber he needed, already processed, should have arrived.

Yun Yuan eagerly went to the palace entrance and opened the door, but the instant he saw who stood outside, his expression immediately fell.

"Senior Sister, why are you here?"

The visitor was not the person Yun Yuan had been expecting, but his mischievous and lively Senior Sister, Bibi Dong.

"Hehe, Junior Brother, I was bored. Come play with me, okay?"

The moment she saw Yun Yuan, Bibi Dong's face broke into a smile. She spread her arms wide, inviting Yun Yuan to play.

But faced with Bibi Dong's invitation, Yun Yuan kept a straight face, firmly shook his head, and directly refused her.

Please, he had no desire to play those childish games with this childish Senior Sister.

"Come on, Junior Brother. Just play with Senior Sister one more time, okay?"

Seeing Yun Yuan refuse, Bibi Dong raised one finger and looked at him pleadingly as she coquettishly begged him.

But Yun Yuan's resolve was as firm as stone. How could he possibly be swayed by Bibi Dong?

The next moment.

Yun Yuan directly shut the door, returned to where he had been sitting, and began Meditation Cultivation.

Before long, another knock came from the palace doors, pulling Yun Yuan out of his meditative state.

Hearing the knocking again, Yun Yuan thought Senior Sister Bibi Dong was causing trouble once more. He got up and opened the door.

To his surprise, it was the Whale Rubber he had been anxiously awaiting.

Before him stood a Female Soul Master dressed in red, with a somewhat delicate appearance, holding an ornate box.

"Saint Son, this subordinate has prepared what you requested."

With that, she handed the box to Yun Yuan, her gaze upon him rather strange.

Naturally, the box contained Whale Rubber that had been processed with fire. What confused her was why Yun Yuan, a boy who had only just awakened his martial soul, would request such a thing.

In this era, Whale Rubber was still used by Soul Masters and nobles during intercourse. Its ability to improve a Soul Master's physical constitution had not yet been discovered.

That was why the Female Soul Master found it strange that Yun Yuan would need such a thing.

But before long, Yun Yuan would reveal Whale Rubber's true value to the world. By then, it would become far more precious.

"Mm. You may leave. From now on, every few days, you are to process this Whale Rubber according to my instructions and deliver it to me."

Taking the box from the subordinate, Yun Yuan gave his order, then shut the palace doors with a smile, intending to properly refine the Whale Rubber inside.

Not far away, Bibi Dong watched Yun Yuan with a curious expression, wanting to know what her Junior Brother was doing.

So, she turned her gaze toward the Female Soul Master who was walking away and stepped forward to stop her.

"Hey, let me ask you something. What was that thing you just gave my Junior Brother? Why was he so happy?"

Bibi Dong voiced her confusion to the Female Soul Master.

Seeing Bibi Dong refer to Yun Yuan as her Junior Brother, the Female Soul Master understood that Bibi Dong held a distinguished status and hurriedly replied:

"Your Highness, what I delivered to the Saint Son was Whale Rubber. As for why the Saint Son was so happy, I do not know."

She answered truthfully, not daring to deceive Bibi Dong.

When Bibi Dong heard that Yun Yuan had just received Whale Rubber, she raised a small hand to cover her slightly parted lips.

Whale Rubber? Why did her junior brother want that kind of thing?

Naturally, Bibi Dong knew what Whale Rubber was—a potent tonic used by nobles or Soul Masters during intercourse.

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong ignored Yun Yuan's true purpose for wanting Whale Rubber and hurried toward the Papal Palace with light steps.

This was bad, Teacher—her junior brother had gone astray!

Inside the Papal Palace, Qian Xunji was handling Spirit Hall's affairs with high spirits.

At present, he was filled with hope for the future. With a disciple like Yun Yuan, who was nearly without flaw and cultivated diligently—

He was simply too satisfied, too exhilarated.

Just then, he suddenly sensed Bibi Dong rushing anxiously toward his Papal Palace.

Seeing this, Qian Xunji could not help but sigh.

Why was his eldest disciple always so easily startled whenever something happened? When would she learn even half of her junior brother's composure?

Unflustered in the face of trouble, steady, confident...

Before long, Bibi Dong finally jogged into the Papal Palace, breathing lightly, clearly worn out from the run.

At that moment, Qian Xunji's voice echoed through the Papal Palace:

"Dong'er, what happened? Why are you being so rash? Teacher has told you before—stay calm when something happens. Do not panic over everything."

Just as Qian Xunji continued patiently instructing Bibi Dong—

Her next words stunned him.

"This is bad, Teacher."

"I just saw Junior Brother order a subordinate to bring him Whale Rubber. Teacher, Junior Brother has gone astray."

Bibi Dong told Qian Xunji what she had just seen and heard.

"Dong'er, what did you say?!"

After hearing Bibi Dong's words, Qian Xunji shot up from the Papal Throne, his face full of disbelief.

How could Yun Yuan, his most satisfactory disciple, do such a thing? Besides, he was still so young—it should have been impossible.

However, Qian Xunji did not dwell on it. He immediately took Bibi Dong with him to find Yun Yuan.

Whether it was true, or whether Yun Yuan had some other reason, they would know once they asked him.

If it really was as Bibi Dong said, then Qian Xunji would have to properly persuade his most prized disciple.

First, Whale Rubber was a powerful tonic. Yun Yuan was still young; if he consumed it, excessive yang would damage his body.

Second, a Soul Master's most valuable cultivation years were before the age of thirty. Even if Yun Yuan liked women, he must not indulge excessively in the future, or he would only waste his talent.

Meanwhile, inside Yun Yuan's palace.

Yun Yuan had already opened the box and consumed the prepared Whale Rubber.

After swallowing it, heat quickly rose in Yun Yuan's abdomen. A hot current flowed through his body, followed by a burning sensation across his entire body. His skin reddened as the medicinal potency immediately began surging against his body.

During the refinement of Whale Rubber, he needed to circulate his Soul Power for guidance, using violent Soul Power energy to gradually temper his flesh, Meridians, and Bones, purge impurities, and thereby strengthen his physique.
