What It Means to Win at the Starting Line: The Secret of Whale Rubber Exposed!

"A big secret? What big secret?"

Black World, Spirit City.

Having discovered that Qian Xunji of the White World had been extraordinary since childhood—not only able to walk and talk before he was even one year old, but also proactively studying and training hard—he was simply far superior to their Black World's Pope.

Golden Crocodile Douluo could not help but feel deeply astonished.

As for the great secret Qian Xunji had discovered, he was even more curious.

Beside him, Qian Daoliu stared at the Heavenly Screen in the sky in silence, his feelings incomparably complicated.

Why was Qian Xunji, the son of the White World's Qian Daoliu, so outstanding and exceptional?

And he had been that way since childhood.

This was truly winning at the starting line!

[Qian Xunji discovered that Whale Rubber, recorded in miscellaneous books, likely did not truly serve as an aphrodisiac in that regard, but instead improved a soul master's physical constitution!]

[When Qian Xunji found his father, Qian Daoliu, and told him of this discovery.]

[Qian Daoliu immediately frowned. He did not believe it at all, and instead asked Golden Crocodile Douluo, "Golden Crocodile, where did Ji'er learn about this Whale Rubber? Did someone teach him?"]

["Father, I saw it in a book myself!"]

[At that moment, Qian Xunji said with a very serious little face.]

["I don't think there's anything about Whale Rubber that can't be read. Isn't that just like cats mating? Living creatures need to mate to reproduce. That's perfectly normal!"]

[Seeing Qian Xunji's little face filled with such seriousness and conviction, Qian Daoliu opened his mouth, momentarily unsure what to say.]

[If his son genuinely thought that way, there was really nothing he could say about it.]

[But immediately afterward, Qian Xunji began analyzing it for Qian Daoliu.]

["Father, my belief that Whale Rubber's true effect is to improve a soul master's physical constitution isn't something I said casually. It is an inference based on information I read in books."]

["First, Whale Rubber acts as an aphrodisiac in that regard."]

["According to the records, after taking high-year Whale Rubber, some people could toil continuously for several days and nights without eating, without their bodies becoming tired, and still remain full of energy afterward."]

["But toiling continuously for several days and nights would certainly consume a great deal of strength and make someone feel exhausted."]

["Since taking Whale Rubber lets someone do that without becoming tired, it proves that Whale Rubber can replenish a soul master's energy and vitality."]

["And if a soul master takes Whale Rubber but chooses not to toil?"]

["Could the power of Whale Rubber then strengthen the soul master's body?"]

["Theoretically, that isn't impossible. If you don't believe me, Father, we can conduct a comparative experiment."]

Black World, Shrek Academy.

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Seeing Qian Xunji suggest in the Comparison Video that Whale Rubber's true purpose was to strengthen a soul master's body, Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, his brow deeply furrowed as he flatly denied it.

"I have read countless books. Not one of them records Whale Rubber as having such an effect."

"For so many years, countless soul masters have considered Whale Rubber nothing more than a stimulant for that sort of thing."

"Qian Xunji is only two or three years old. How many books could he possibly have read? How could his insight and knowledge surpass those of generations upon generations of martial soul theory researchers?"

"Countless martial soul theory researchers have failed to uncover Whale Rubber's true effects all these years."

"How could a two- or three-year-old Qian Xunji possibly see it?"

Yu Xiaogang's words were full of contempt and arrogance.

Every word conveyed his absolute faith in books and his disdain for the two- or three-year-old Qian Xunji.

"Teacher is right!"

As a dutiful disciple who respected his teacher, Tang San naturally voiced his support for Yu Xiaogang at once.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar, neither of whom had ever taken Whale Rubber, hesitated for a moment before choosing to trust Yu Xiaogang's judgment as well.

But Dai Mubai frowned, feeling that Qian Xunji's words were not without reason.

Because he had taken Whale Rubber before.

Following Qian Xunji's line of reasoning, it was theoretically not impossible.

And Qian Xunji was about to use Spirit Hall's power to conduct an experiment!

Was Yu Xiaogang really not afraid of being proven wrong by denying it so decisively?

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang also said arrogantly.

"Next, Qian Xunji wants to conduct an experiment comparison!"

"The experiment will prove that he is absolutely wrong!"

As Yu Xiaogang spoke, he looked up at Qian Xunji on the Heavenly Screen, a trace of unforgettable resentment and hatred flashing through his eyes.

Damn Qian Xunji, it's all your fault!

Otherwise, perhaps I would have already found a way in Spirit City to evolve Luo Sanpao!

[After hearing Qian Xunji out, Qian Daoliu hesitated as well.]

[Because there was no major flaw in his son Qian Xunji's logical inference.]

["Fine!"]

[In the end, Qian Daoliu agreed to conduct a comparative experiment to verify whether Qian Xunji's inference was correct.]

[At Qian Xunji's request.]

[Qian Daoliu found a pair of twin soul masters in Spirit City with identical martial souls and Innate Soul Power levels. He had them eat the same things every day and cultivate for the same amount of time.]

[He also had the slightly weaker younger brother take softened thousand-year Whale Rubber every day.]

[After one month.]

[Qian Daoliu tested the brothers' strength and discovered that the younger brother who had taken Whale Rubber clearly surpassed his originally stronger elder brother in strength, speed, and explosive power.]

[This left Qian Daoliu utterly shocked.]

["Whale Rubber can actually strengthen a soul master's physical constitution?"]

Because the results of the comparative experiment Qian Xunji set up in the Comparison Video were simply too obvious and shocking.

For a time, countless soul masters and soul master factions throughout the Black World were stunned.

Who would have thought that Whale Rubber's true effect was not to arouse and stimulate in that regard, but to strengthen a soul master's body?!

Spirit City, Douluo Hall.

"Golden Crocodile, immediately mobilize Spirit Hall's forces and collect all the Whale Rubber across the continent!"

After watching Qian Xunji's comparative experiment in the Comparison Video, Qian Daoliu was also shocked and had no choice but to believe it. He promptly ordered Golden Crocodile Douluo to mobilize Spirit Hall's forces to collect Whale Rubber.

At the same time, in soul master sects such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, and the Elephant Armor Sect, Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen, Huyan Zhen, and the others also hurriedly ordered their people to gather all the Whale Rubber on the continent.

But at Shrek Academy.

After watching the comparative experiment Qian Xunji had designed on the Heavenly Screen.

Yu Xiaogang only felt as though his face had been slapped again and again. His face instantly turned red, his expression ugly as he clenched his fists.

After a long while, he finally suppressed his unwillingness and rage before stubbornly saying.

"No! There must be something wrong with this experiment!"

"This Comparison Video isn't played continuously. It is shown selectively and intermittently. Perhaps the younger twin trained harder in secret, which is why this happened!"

Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, and the others around him were all speechless, their hearts filled with contempt.

Yu Xiaogang called himself a grandmaster of martial soul theory, yet he refused to acknowledge such an obviously effective comparative experiment!

When Yu Xiaogang had first arrived and become Shrek's cook, improving everyone's meals and urging them to begin weighted round-trip running training from Shrek Academy to Suotuo City.

Everyone had still held some faith in Yu Xiaogang, believing that he was a martial soul theory grandmaster whose talents had gone unrecognized.

But they had never expected Yu Xiaogang to be so arrogant and harsh toward Qian Xunji in the Comparison Video, who was only two or three years old, completely lacking the bearing of a martial soul theory grandmaster.

He was utterly contemptible!
