As soon as class ended, Su Mo immediately slipped out of Eastsea Academy and returned to his detached villa on the outskirts of Donghai City.
Su Mo had not expected that he would gain so much from a mere 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 good excuse to drive a wedge between them.
Su Mo had seen Gu Yue's eyes, filled with anger and disappointment, quite clearly after class.
This time, as long as Gu Yue had a functioning brain, she should realize that there was no possibility between her and Tang Wulin.
Of course, if Gu Yue 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 let him go.
Because Su Mo knew very clearly that Tang Wulin would definitely step forward to stop his plans in the future.
Since they were destined to become enemies in the future, Su Mo naturally had to prepare in advance to deal 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 piece of Whale Rubber, which was over a hundred thousand years old, had come 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 had learned that more than ninety percent of Sea Soul Beasts worshipped the Sea God, he had nearly blacked out and fainted on the spot.
He was utterly disdainful toward those traitorous beasts.
The first Sea God had only been able to condense his Godhood and attain the Sea God's divine position because of the faith of the Sea Soul Beasts.
Yet after becoming a god, the Sea God had given all the benefits to humans. The Sea Soul Beasts had not gotten so much as a hair, truly the world's biggest suckers.
But even without receiving any benefits, the Sea Soul Beasts still eagerly fawned over the Sea God without a word of complaint, providing him with enormous amounts of faith power.
The Sea God's achievements today owed no small part to those spineless Sea Soul Beasts.
Therefore, aside from Soul Beast races that openly opposed the Sea God, Su Mo had only one attitude toward Sea Soul Beasts: "Kill!"
Keeping them alive was only aiding the enemy. They might as well become nourishment for his growth.
The Whale Rubber was springy and delicate, melting the moment it entered his mouth. It tasted like milk ice cream.
The instant it entered his stomach, the Whale Rubber transformed into a warm current, its essence greedily absorbed by every limb and bone in Su Mo's body.
Whale Rubber was an extremely Yang and potent substance. Not only could it greatly improve a Soul Master's physique, but it also had aphrodisiac and virility-enhancing effects.
Especially since Su Mo was eating Whale Rubber that was a hundred thousand years old, its aphrodisiac effects were practically no different from an aphrodisiac drug.
An ordinary person would already have been consumed by lust, but Su Mo held an equally sized piece of Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow in his 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 people hunt some for him whenever he wished.
After all, Su Mo had no need to consider the attitudes of the Tang Sect or Shrek.
But something like Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow, formed purely through the accumulation of time, was truly one piece less with every piece used.
Especially after the Far North had been swept clean by the Sun Moon Federation, the natural treasures of the entire Far North had essentially been looted dry.
The Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow in Su Mo's possession had only been found after someone's guidance and countless hardships, and even then it was merely 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 ten thousand years ago. The biting cold wind immediately jolted Su Mo, whose consciousness had grown somewhat hazy from the heat, awake.
The wicked heat rising from 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 inside a blazing furnace; the next, he was in a world of 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 gained little improvement, patted his stomach and curled his lips in regret.
Although taking Whale Rubber could no longer improve Su Mo's physique, its body-strengthening effects had far exceeded his expectations.
Originally, Su Mo had thought the physique-improving effects of Whale Rubber would last at most two years.
No matter how good something was, it could not withstand being eaten every day.
The Whale Rubber had actually 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 bear two 9,999-year Thousand Year Soul Rings while lacking the Yang Attribute and Lightning Attribute.
Fortunately, Douluo Continent was not like Naruto, where one needed incomparably terrifying Chakra just to barely shed the label of a glass cannon.
In Douluo, Su Mo could still strengthen his body through all kinds of natural treasures.
This was something Su Mo could never achieve in Naruto.
In the Naruto World, there was only one path to strengthening one's body: cell activation.
Aside from cell activation, even practicing 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 activate cells, 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 the Earth Attribute and Yang Attribute.
Because Su Mo's current priority was to unlock Dust Release, the Kekkei Tōta with the strongest offensive power.
With Dust Release's unrivaled offensive power combined with the Chakra he had stored in the Strength of a Hundred Seal before transforming, Su Mo could still use a first-meeting kill to trap and kill quite a few Limit Douluo.
Therefore, the Lightning Attribute was not a high priority for Su Mo. It ranked behind the Yang, Fire, and Earth Attributes.
As for Shennong's forbidden medical technique?
He had not even gathered all the most basic Chakra attributes yet, much less the special Chakra required for that forbidden medical technique.
"Beep beep~"
Just as Su Mo was considering whether to send people to loot 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 pop up on his wrist, Su Mo froze for a moment before quickly typing back, "Yanzi, how am I supposed to live without you?!"
The person who had sent the message was someone Su Mo had casually found online as an online romance partner.
After transmigrating to Douluo and finally being able to surf the internet, online romance 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 party was male or female.
Otherwise, Su Mo had plenty of ways to dig up their personal information.
Faced with Su Mo's lunacy, the other party seemed long accustomed to it and only replied with a brief ellipsis.
"Wait, Sweetie, you're serious?"
Seeing the other party's ellipsis, Su Mo also realized that they were not joking and truly intended to quit the internet.
Don't do this! I finally found someone who could play along with my nonsense. How could it just end like this?
Considering the decent emotional value the other party had provided him over the past year or so, Su Mo did not even think before editing and sending another message. "Did something happen to the curry person? Press 1 to revive."
After Su Mo clearly saw the message he had sent, he also realized that things had gone terribly wrong.
"Damn! I took the nonsense too far."
Su Mo could swear to heaven that he had genuinely wanted to comfort the other party 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.
"Bastard!!!"
As though painful memories had been stirred up, the red-haired boy cursed bitterly before decisively deleting 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 not currently friends with this user!"
"You are temporarily unable to send messages to this user!"
When surfing the internet, the biggest taboo was dragging reality into it.
After being deleted by the other party, Su Mo only blamed himself briefly before turning around and chatting with another one of his online romance partners.
