Contemptuous Qian Renxue, Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber

"Yu Xuechang, if you want me to agree to a rematch, of course I can."

"But my additional condition is that I want to enter the hunting grounds where your Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan specifically hunts soul beasts!"

Hearing Su Ze's words, Yu Tianheng's expression changed.

His family's hunting grounds were off-limits to outsiders.

They contained very precious Lightning Attribute Soul Beasts.

If he lost, he would have to bring Su Ze into the hunting grounds.

At that time...

Thinking of this consequence, Yu Tianheng couldn't help but feel a bit of hesitation.

Su Ze noticed this and deliberately provoked him.

"Alas, it seems Yu Xuechang is afraid."

"A Soul Elder afraid to fight a Soul Grand Master? Yu Xuechang, hehe!"

Su Ze let out a mocking laugh, then deliberately said.

"It seems I'll have to tell others about this matter."

Hearing Su Ze's words, Yu Tianheng immediately became anxious.

If this got out, the reputation of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan at Heaven Dou Royal Academy would be completely ruined.

There were already rumors circulating in the academy that the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan was actually undeserving of its name.

If the rumor that a Soul Elder was afraid to fight a Soul Grand Master spread again, this rumor would be confirmed.

Thinking of his grandfather's reprimand in his letter at that time, Yu Tianheng's heart hardened.

"It's just entering the hunting grounds once, I agree. Besides, I definitely won't lose this time."

"Su Ze, I think you're too arrogant! After reaching Soul Elder, my Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon can undergo Dragon Transformation."

"At that time, I will let you know why the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon is called the strongest Beast Martial Soul on the continent."

Hearing Yu Tianheng's words, Su Ze smiled and nodded.

His third Soul Ring was secured.

Moreover, Su Ze was also very interested in the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon's Dragon Transformation.

In the original work, this skill could be said to be the fundamental reason for the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul's true power.

Su Ze naturally wanted to experience it.

As for winning or losing the duel.

He was about to obtain the Immortal Herb soon.

By then, with the Martial Soul Evolution brought about by the Immortal Herb.

Even if Yu Tianheng possessed Dragon Transformation and had crossed a major realm, Su Ze would not fear him in the slightest.

"Then, Yu Xuechang, I will await your challenge."

After speaking, Su Ze turned and left without looking back.

The auction was about to begin, and he didn't have time to chat with Yu Tianheng now.

Yu Tianheng watched Su Ze's departing back. If he lost, he would have to bring the other party into the clan's private hunting ground.

A wave of pressure washed over him.

He immediately turned and headed for Thunder Gorge, wanting to be struck by lightning again.

Meanwhile, after Su Ze walked out of the gates of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

He got into the carriage sent by Qian Renxue to pick him up.

Led by the carriage, Su Ze arrived at the entrance of the Heaven Dou Auction House.

With Qian Renxue's invitation letter, Su Zhe, led by a slender and voluptuous maid in a qipao.

Soon arrived at a private box.

After pushing open the door and entering the box, a familiar voice rang out.

"Brother Su Ze, you truly live up to your reputation as a Genius!"

"You defeated Yu Tianheng, the Genius of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan, just after entering the academy!"

"Yu Tianheng is a key Genius cultivated by the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan, and also the strongest individual in our Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Brother Su Ze, your talent truly opens my eyes!"

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, approached Su Zhe and warmly shook his hand.

Feeling the rough texture in his hand, Su Ze looked at Qian Renxue in front of him with some surprise.

The feel of this disguise, if I hadn't known her identity beforehand.

I definitely wouldn't have guessed that Xue Qinghe in front of me was actually a woman in disguise.

Thinking this, Qian Renxue affectionately pulled Su Ze onto the same chair.

"Brother Su Ze, you truly are a dragon emerging from shallow waters!"

"I never expected such a small place like Nuoding City could produce a Genius like you!"

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Su Ze immediately understood that after a day, the other party had already thoroughly investigated his background.

However, he had anticipated this.

After all, Qian Renxue wasn't an idiot.

Before trying to win someone over, she would definitely investigate carefully.

But Su Ze didn't have any particular feelings about it.

After all, his life story could withstand any scrutiny.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince flatters me. There are plenty of Geniuses on the Douluo Continent, but very few become true powerhouses."

"I still have a long way to go."

Su Ze felt nothing from Qian Renxue's praise.

The reason was simple.

A Genius was still just a Genius. To match their talent and become a true powerhouse, a long road still lay ahead.

Seeing Su Ze's clear-headed demeanor, a satisfied look appeared in Qian Renxue's eyes.

Even after her praise, he wasn't the least bit complacent. This mindset was indeed commendable.

An existence with such a mindset and immense talent, if only she could recruit him.

He would definitely become a capable subordinate in the future.

Just as Qian Renxue was thinking, on the auction stage beyond the glass.

A female auctioneer, dressed in a vibrant red Qipao, exuding charm with every movement, walked onto the stage with alluring steps.

"Greetings, esteemed guests. The annual Heaven Dou Auction officially begins now."

"Next, I will introduce the auction items to you all."

Hearing the voice from afar, Qian Renxue immediately said to Su Ze.

"Brother Su Ze, with that mindset, becoming a Titled Douluo in the future is probably just a matter of time."

"Come on, Brother Su Ze, the auction is about to start today. Tell me what you want, and I'll pay for it today!"

Hearing Qian Renxue's generous words, Su Ze's eyes lit up.

But he quickly calmed down.

The reason was simple. On the way here, he had seriously considered whether to accept Qian Renxue's recruitment.

After weighing the pros and cons.

He decided not to accept.

The reason was simple: the price Qian Renxue was currently offering was not enough.

Although the annual Heaven Dou Auction House would definitely bring out precious items.

They were incomparable to Immortal Herbs.

At most, he estimated that Dugu Bo would find him tonight.

According to the plan, he would then obtain the entire garden of Immortal Herbs.

Coupled with his identity as Ye Qingshan's disciple.

He would definitely be able to make perfect use of Dugu Bo's garden of Immortal Herbs.

At that time, he would definitely not lack money or resources.

Thinking about the resources he was about to obtain, Su Ze felt that Qian Renxue's offer was completely insufficient to win him over.

It could be said that as long as the transaction with Dugu Bo was successful.

He would almost never lack resources before reaching Titled Douluo.

The Gold Soul Coins Qian Renxue offered, if worse came to worst, he could just Soul Duel Yu Tianheng a few more times.

Or, he could sell some Immortal Herbs later, and he would completely make up for it.

More importantly.

Qian Renxue herself was not good.

He knew that in the original work, the first time she tried to recruit Tang San, Qian Renxue had agreed to Tang San's demand to execute Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

Two Titled Douluo were killed on the spot to recruit Tang San.

If he agreed to become Qian Renxue's subordinate now, what would happen if he encountered Tang San later?

Furthermore, Qian Renxue offered Tang San something equivalent to two Titled Douluo.

If I agreed for just tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins, it would truly be beneath me.

With this thought, Su Ze had already decided to refuse Qian Renxue's request.

Of course, he would refuse tactfully.

After all, refusing was one thing.

But falling out completely was another.

With this in mind, Su Ze carefully considered his words and said, "There's no need for Your Highness the Crown Prince to go to such expense."

"When I had a Soul Duel with Yu Tianheng, he lost 10,000 Gold Soul Coins to me."

"That should be enough for this auction."

Su Ze's method of refusal was simple: delay.

Delay, then say he needed to consider it.

Given his talent, Qian Renxue would definitely give him a few days to consider if she wanted to recruit him.

In a few days, if his plan went smoothly, Dugu Bo would be his backer.

By then, even if he refused Qian Renxue's recruitment offer to her face, with Dugu Bo's strength as a Titled Douluo.

He could help Su Ze weather the storm.

Upon hearing Su Ze's words, Qian Renxue's face first showed a look of astonishment.

Since he had been disguised as Xue Qinghe, recruiting various talents had always been very simple for him.

He would state his identity and then reveal some of his intentions.

That was all it took.

And for Su Ze, the offer was the highest Qian Renxue had made in all these years of disguise.

Yet, Su Ze had refused him.

Although not explicitly refused, everyone was intelligent.

Qian Renxue understood Su Ze's meaning perfectly.

However, after a moment of slight astonishment, Qian Renxue recovered.

It was just one setback.

And Su Ze was also the most talented person he had encountered since the founding of the country all these years.

It was normal for him to be difficult to recruit.

Qian Renxue was confident that as long as she continued to show sincerity, Su Ze would eventually submit to him.

Just like the world would eventually be hers.

Speaking of which, Qian Renxue said with her usual affectionate tone, "Since Brother Su Ze is thinking so much for me, what else can I say? Let's look at the auction items."

"By the way, Brother Su Ze, if you really want something, just tell me."

Hearing Qian Renxue's tone turn a little cold, but without directly falling out with him.

Su Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

If Qian Renxue had truly fallen out with him and threatened him.

Then he would have no choice but to kowtow and surrender.

After all, going head-to-head with the Young Master of the Soul Martial Hall was simply unrealistic.

Fortunately, the situation was indeed progressing as he had imagined.

Although Qian Renxue's tone was not as enthusiastic as before after being rejected.

She did not get angry.

And after a few more days, when he completely gained Dugu Bo's support.

He would not have to worry for the time being.

Just as Su Ze was thinking, the introduction of an auction item from afar reached his ears.

"This auction item is Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber. I believe I don't need to say more about its effects!"

"All the esteemed guests should understand, it's an essential item for a harmonious household!"

"The starting bid is 4000 Gold Soul Coins, with each bid increasing by no less than 100 Gold Soul Coins!"

Seeing the yellow, rubbery substance displayed on the glass stage, Su Ze's eyes lit up.

Although his Sikong Zhen Martial Soul could also increase his Body Strength during Meditation.

The effect was indeed too slow.

This Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber could, conservatively speaking, save him several years of arduous cultivation.

And now it appeared before him.

And the price is so reasonable.

He must get it.

Looking at the starting bid of 4000 Gold Soul Coins, Su Ze once again marveled at the benefits of information asymmetry.

You must know that this was before the period when Huo Yuhao's whale rubber was discovered to have its effects.

A piece of Thousand Year Whale Rubber with good quality and appearance could be sold for an exorbitant price of 50,000 Gold Soul Coins.

Now, Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber was only selling for 4000.

This is great!

Thinking of this, Su Ze began to bid under Qian Renxue's strange gaze.

Finally, he successfully acquired this piece of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber for 5500 Gold Soul Coins.

"Brother Su Ze, you have this kind of hobby?"

Qian Renxue looked at Su Ze in front of him with a strange expression.

She had also heard about the uses of whale rubber.

She never touched such a filthy thing.

And Su Ze, whom she had taken a liking to, a strong individual with extremely powerful talent and character.

Actually bought whale rubber.

Thinking of the use of whale rubber, and then thinking that Su Ze was only seven or eight years old.

Qian Renxue's internal rating of Su Ze dropped significantly.

The desire to recruit him was no longer as fervent as before.

It seemed that this Su Ze had not had the opportunity to indulge before because he was in a small place.

Now that he had come to Heaven Dou City and seen the world.

And he had also clearly displayed his talent.

He was preparing to relax.

Qian Renxue was extremely disappointed at this thought. She had originally thought Su Ze was a Genius.

She had even prepared to offer a higher price, even planning to use some special means.

But now it seemed that although Su Ze's talent was powerful, he had taken a liking to lust at such a young age.

The future achievements will definitely be limited.

After seeing Qian Renxue's strange expression, Su Ze wanted to explain.

But he thought that lowering Qian Renxue's evaluation of him would be a good thing for himself.

So he forced an awkward smile and said nothing.

Su Ze's purchase of Whale Rubber was very effective.

In the subsequent time, Su Ze clearly felt that Qian Renxue's attitude towards him became even colder.

The situation continued until the auction house ended, and Su Ze bid farewell and left.

Qian Renxue sat on the chair, watching Su Ze's retreating back, and took out a token with the character "Snow" printed on it.

A token representing her personally.

She had originally planned to forcibly find a reason to make Su Ze accept it.

But thinking of Su Ze's behavior of indulging in women at such a young age, Qian Renxue directly gave up.

"It seems that the Young Master and I misjudged before. This Su Ze just hadn't seen the world."

"After all, he came from a small place. It's a pity about his talent."

The figure of Snake Lance Douluo appeared in the room. He had seen all of Su Ze's previous actions.

When Su Ze showed his refusal, Snake Lance Douluo had an idea at that time.

He must persuade the Young Master to recruit this Genius Su Ze as soon as possible after the auction.

Even if it meant using some dirty tricks.

But seeing that Su Ze was so young and already fond of beautiful women.

Snake Lance Douluo felt it was completely unnecessary.

No matter how high the talent!

At the golden age of Soul Master cultivation, he was actually doing this kind of thing.

His future was definitely ruined.

Hearing Snake Lance Douluo's words, Qian Renxue also had a trace of disdain on her face.

"Yes, I indeed misjudged. I'll try to recruit him again later. If it doesn't work out, then so be it."

On the other side, Su Ze left the Heaven Dou Auction House and returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy in a carriage arranged by Xue Qinghe.

As soon as he returned to the academy, Su Ze went straight back to his dorm.

He took out the yellowish-brown Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber from the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night and placed it on the table.

Looking at the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber on the table, a smile spread across Su Ze's face.

He had definitely made the right purchase with this Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber.

After absorbing it later, not only would his Body Strength improve.

But his act of self-degradation had also successfully earned Qian Renxue's disdain.

Judging by her subsequent cold attitude.

Qian Renxue's desire to recruit him should have significantly waned.

This was simply killing two birds with one stone.
