Online Romance Failure!

As soon as class ended, Su Mo slipped out of Eastsea Academy and returned to his detached villa on the outskirts of Donghai City.

Su Mo had not expected to gain so much from a single day of classes.

This time, he really had to thank Wu Zhangkong.

If Wu Zhangkong had not had nothing better to do than introduce Gu Yue and the others to Shrek's history, Su Mo would not have found such a perfect excuse to drive a wedge between them.

Su Mo had seen Gu Yue's furious, disappointed gaze clearly after class.

This time, as long as Gu Yue had a functioning brain, she should have realized that she and Tang Wulin were impossible.

Of course, if Gu Yue stubbornly insisted on being with Tang Wulin, Su Mo could only send the two of them on their way together.

Tang Wulin was a good person, but that did not mean Su Mo would spare him.

Because Su Mo knew perfectly well that Tang Wulin would definitely stand up and obstruct his plans in the future.

Since they were destined to become enemies in the future, Su Mo naturally had to prepare in advance for dealing with Tang Wulin.

After taking off his Eastsea Academy uniform and hanging it on the rack, Su Mo sat cross-legged on the bed. He took out a fist-sized piece of fragrant golden Whale Rubber from his Soul Guidance Storage Ring and began chewing on it.

This Whale Rubber, which was more than a hundred thousand years old, came from a whale-type Soul Beast in the deep sea with more than two hundred thousand years of cultivation.

As for its specific name, Su Mo had not cared. As long as it was not a Deep Sea Demon Whale or an Evil Spirit Orca, that was enough.

When Su Mo learned that over ninety percent of Sea Soul Beasts worshipped the Sea God, he had nearly blacked out and fainted on the spot.

He had nothing but contempt for that bunch of traitorous beasts.

The first Sea God had only been able to condense a godhood and attain the Sea God's divine position because of the Sea Soul Beasts' faith.

Yet after becoming a god, the Sea God gave all the benefits to humanity. The Sea Soul Beasts had not gotten so much as a hair, making them complete suckers.

But even without receiving any benefits, the Sea Soul Beasts still shamelessly fawned over the Sea God without a word of complaint, providing him with massive amounts of faith power.

The Sea God's current achievements owed no small part to those spineless Sea Soul Beasts.

Therefore, aside from Soul Beast clans that openly opposed the Sea God, Su Mo had only one attitude toward Sea Soul Beasts: Kill!

Keeping them alive would only aid the enemy. They were better off becoming nourishment for his growth.

The Whale Rubber was springy and delicate, melting in his mouth. It tasted like milk ice cream.

The instant it entered his stomach, it turned into a warm current, its essence greedily absorbed by every limb and bone in Su Mo's body.

Whale Rubber was an item of utmost yang and rigidity. Not only could it greatly improve a Soul Master's physique, it also had aphrodisiac and virility-enhancing effects.

Especially since Su Mo was eating hundred-thousand-year Whale Rubber, whose aphrodisiac effects were hardly any different from an actual aphrodisiac.

An ordinary person would have already been consumed by desire, but Su Mo was holding a piece of Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow of equal size in his other hand.

Unlike Whale Rubber, Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow could no longer be described merely as scarce.

If Su Mo lacked Whale Rubber, he could have someone hunt it for him at any time.

After all, Su Mo had no need to care about the attitudes of the Tang Sect or Shrek.

But something like Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow, which had accumulated purely through the passage of time, meant that every piece used was one piece less.

Especially after the Far North had been swept clean by the Sun Moon Federation, the heavenly treasures across the entire Far North had practically been plundered dry.

The Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow in Su Mo's hand had only been found after someone pointed him in the right direction and he went through immense effort to obtain half a piece.

The moment the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow entered his mouth, Su Mo instantly felt as though he had been transported to the Far North of ten thousand years ago. The biting cold wind immediately sobered Su Mo, whose mind had been clouded by burning heat.

The wicked fire rising in his lower abdomen vanished without a trace under the effects of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow.

And so, Su Mo ate a bite of Whale Rubber, then a bite of Ice Marrow.

One moment, he was in a furnace; the next, he was amid ice and snow.

Yet under this double torment of ice and fire, Su Mo's physical constitution did not improve much.

After swallowing the final bite of Ice Marrow, Su Mo, who had not gained much improvement, patted his stomach and clicked his tongue regretfully.

Although consuming Whale Rubber could no longer improve Su Mo's physique, its body-strengthening effect had far exceeded his expectations.

Originally, Su Mo had thought Whale Rubber's physique-improving effects would last at most two years.

No matter how good something was, it could not withstand being eaten every day.

Yet the Whale Rubber had lasted a full three years before losing its effect. That efficacy was absolutely monstrous.

Without the help of Whale Rubber and Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow, Su Mo could only dream of making his body withstand two 9,999-year Thousand Year Soul Rings at once while lacking Yang Attribute and Lightning Attribute.

Fortunately, Douluo Continent was unlike Naruto, where one needed terrifyingly vast Chakra merely to barely shed the label of a glass cannon.

In Douluo, Su Mo could still improve his physique through all kinds of heavenly treasures.

That was something Su Mo could never accomplish in Naruto.

In the Naruto World, the only path to improving one's physique was cellular activation.

Aside from cellular activation, even cultivating the Eight Inner Gates could not bring about a qualitative transformation in one's body. At most, it could make one's physical strength surpass that of ordinary people.

And to achieve cellular activation, one either had to use Lightning Release or stimulate one's cells through Medical Ninjutsu.

The former required Lightning Attribute Chakra, while the latter required an enormous amount of Chakra.

But for Su Mo, his third attribute could only be chosen from Earth Attribute and Yang Attribute.

Because the most important thing for Su Mo right now was unlocking Dust Release, the Kekkei Tōta with the greatest offensive power.

The strongest offensive Dust Release, combined with the Chakra Su Mo had stored in the Strength of a Hundred Seal before transforming, could still kill quite a few Limit Douluo through a first-meeting ambush.

Thus, Lightning Attribute was not a high priority for Su Mo, ranking behind Yang, Fire, Earth, and those four attributes.

As for Shennong's medical forbidden technique?

He had not even gathered all the most basic Chakra attributes yet, much less the special Chakra required by that medical forbidden technique.

"Beep beep~"

Just as Su Mo was considering whether to send someone to raid the Body Sect, the Soul Guidance Communicator on his wrist suddenly displayed a message.

Sweet Little Princess: "I'm quitting the internet!"

Seeing the message appear on his wrist, Su Mo froze for a moment before quickly typing a reply. "Yanzi, how am I supposed to live without you?"

The sender was an online romance partner Su Mo had casually found online.

After transmigrating to Douluo and finally getting the chance to surf the internet, online dating was naturally something he had to try.

Of course, Su Mo merely enjoyed the feeling of online romance. He did not care in the slightest whether the other person was male or female.

Otherwise, Su Mo had plenty of ways to dox them.

Faced with Su Mo's nonsense, the other party seemed long accustomed to it and replied only with a brief ellipsis.

"Wait, Sweetie, you're serious?"

Seeing the ellipsis, Su Mo realized that the other person was not joking and genuinely intended to quit the internet.

Don't do this! I finally found someone who could play along with my absurd humor. How could it just end like this without a word?

Considering the decent emotional value the other party had provided over the past year or so, Su Mo did not hesitate before editing and sending another message. "Did something happen to the curry person? Press 1 to revive."

After Su Mo saw the message he had sent clearly, he immediately realized that things were bad.

"Damn! I took the absurdity too far."

Su Mo could swear to heaven that he had genuinely wanted to comfort the other person just now.

On the other side, although the other party had never heard of a "curry person," he guessed from the context that it meant family.

"You bastard!!!"

As if the message had stirred up painful memories, the Red-haired Boy cursed bitterly, then decisively deleted Su Mo from his friend list.

"If I said I didn't mean it, would you believe me?"

Su Mo tried to salvage the situation, but the system coldly notified him, "Sorry, you are currently not this user's friend!"

"Unable to send messages to this user for now!"

When surfing the internet, the greatest taboo was bringing reality into it.

After being deleted by the other party, Su Mo only blamed himself briefly before turning around and chatting with another of his online romance partners.
