After hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Xiao Yao immediately nodded heavily, then bowed. "This disciple pays respects to Teacher!"
Qian Daoliu was one of the continent's strongest experts, invincible in the sky and one of the thickest thighs to cling to. Not to mention that he had just given Xiao Yao so many benefits—how could Xiao Yao possibly refuse to take Qian Daoliu as his teacher?
Seeing Xiao Yao nod without hesitation and call him Teacher, Qian Daoliu laughed happily. "Good, good, good! I will certainly spare no effort in nurturing you, Yao'er!"
At that moment, Mighty Lion Douluo stepped forward. "Big Brother, earlier, my grandson said that his God-Level Martial Soul told him Whale Rubber can improve a soul master's physique."
"Once a soul master's physique improves, won't that increase the age limit of the soul rings they can absorb? If this information is true, I want Ye'er to eat Whale Rubber first, then absorb a higher-level soul ring!"
Hearing that the information had come from a God-Level Martial Soul, Qian Daoliu immediately believed half of it and promptly arranged, "Good. I will have people conduct tests at once. We should have results by the day after tomorrow!"
On the third night, the several Elders looked at the people before them with blazing eyes, their spirits soaring. One of them had one yellow and one purple soul ring!
Whale Rubber could actually improve a soul master's physique and create a thousand-year second soul ring. This information could allow Spirit Hall's mid- and upper-level soul masters to crush opponents with soul rings of the same level within twenty or thirty years.
This was truly information capable of changing the continent's situation!
Information brought by a God-Level Martial Soul really was different.
After dismissing the people whose tests had succeeded, Qian Daoliu immediately summoned his Martial Soul and flew toward Spirit Hall's treasury.
Having been the continent's top power for twenty thousand years, Spirit Hall's treasury contained everything imaginable, with all manner of rare treasures. With a sweep of his spiritual power, Qian Daoliu found dozens of pieces of Whale Rubber.
The oldest piece of Whale Rubber among them was 280,000 years old. This was the legacy of a top power that had endured for tens of thousands of years, with Peerless Douluos continuously succeeding one another.
Qian Daoliu immediately took all the Whale Rubber away.
Before long, everyone saw Qian Daoliu return.
With a wave of his hand, dozens of pieces of Whale Rubber appeared before them.
When everyone saw that some of them were several tens of thousands of years old, over a hundred thousand years old, and even 280,000 years old, they were instantly stunned!
What kind of force and what kind of treasury could collect even such obscure items at such high ages?
Even Golden Crocodile was somewhat dumbfounded. "Grand Elder, how did Spirit Hall manage this? This is too exaggerated, isn't it? Whale Rubber that is 280,000 years old means fighting a nearly 300,000-year-old beast that lives in the sea on unfamiliar terrain—and successfully killing it!"
"Isn't that too outrageous?"
Qingluan Douluo kept shaking his head as well, finding it unbelievable.
Golden Lion Douluo said tremblingly, "Big Brother, are all of these for Yao'er to eat? He might not even be able to eat them all! After all, everyone's physique has its limits, let alone a child who is only six years old."
Xiao Yao also sucked in a breath. As expected of Spirit Hall, with its inheritance spanning tens of thousands of years—their accumulated wealth was truly immense. His favorable impression of his teacher, Qian Daoliu, also rose sharply! Qian Daoliu truly went all in when nurturing someone!
Listening to Golden Lion's words, Qian Daoliu shook his head slightly. "I know Yao'er may not be able to absorb all of it, but a God-Level Martial Soul is beyond ordinary standards and cannot be judged by common sense. So I am not afraid of having too much, only too little. If he can absorb it, then he should absorb it all. If he cannot, we can put it back for those in the future to absorb."
"Yao'er and Dong'er, prepare yourselves. Start by absorbing Whale Rubber that is a few hundred years old and gradually increase your physical strength. Once Whale Rubber of the same age no longer improves you, eat higher-grade Whale Rubber!"
"As for the issue of lustful desires, before a Six-Winged Angel, a single Holy Light Purification will solve it. There is no need to worry about Whale Rubber's side effects."
As Qian Daoliu spoke, he raised a hand and grasped Xiao Yao's wrist. "Let me see how strong Yao'er's body is now—how old a soul ring he can absorb."
After grasping his wrist and sensing him, Qian Daoliu was stunned. What kind of physical strength was this?
Provided that soul shock was excluded, a six-year-old child could directly absorb a 12,000-year soul ring?
Seeing Qian Daoliu standing there in shock, Golden Crocodile, Qingluan, and Golden Lion all became curious about Xiao Yao's physical strength.
Then they were shocked as well. He truly was a humanoid beast!
But after thinking it over, they felt that such physical strength was only fitting. Without corresponding physical strength, how could he unleash an attack close to that of a Soul Emperor?
The several Elders silently exchanged glances and sighed once more. "As expected of a God-Level Martial Soul, as expected of a Golden Lion Mastiff. Too strong—these stats, this strength!"
After their shock subsided somewhat, Qian Daoliu first took out several-hundred-year Whale Rubber, melted it at high temperature, and distributed it to Xiao Yao and Bibi Dong.
Xiao Yao and Bibi Dong nodded, then sat cross-legged and swallowed it.
Bibi Dong's body turned faintly red, while Xiao Yao showed no reaction after eating it. He only felt his physique improve by the slightest amount.
Seeing Xiao Yao consume several-hundred-year Whale Rubber without any pressure, Qian Daoliu directly began feeding him several-thousand-year Whale Rubber, allowing Dong'er to digest hers slowly.
After eating several pieces of Whale Rubber that were several thousand years old, Xiao Yao clenched his fist and felt his physique grow a little stronger. Qian Daoliu also stepped forward and grasped his wrist to gauge his physical strength.
"Mm, it has roughly increased your soul ring absorption limit by five hundred years. Yao'er, how does your body feel? Can you continue absorbing Whale Rubber with a higher age?"
"Yes. I don't feel any burden. My body feels warm."
After hearing Yao'er's answer, Qian Daoliu swept Yao'er's body with his spiritual power again. Once he confirmed that there was no problem, he began melting and feeding him Whale Rubber that was over ten thousand years old.
Ten thousand years, twenty thousand years, then gradually up to one-hundred-thousand-year Whale Rubber. Only then did Xiao Yao's body show an obvious reaction, turning faintly red.
Xiao Yao stood up and activated his Martial Soul, throwing punches continuously for several minutes. Qian Daoliu also activated his Martial Soul Avatar and continuously used soul rings with holy light and healing effects. Qingluan Douluo likewise activated his Martial Soul Avatar and used his Regeneration Flame to envelop Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao gradually returned to normal.
Xiao Yao felt that his physical strength had increased by about double. Qian Daoliu and the other Elders all stepped forward to grasp his arm and sense Xiao Yao's current physical strength.
Golden Lion Douluo's eyes were full of disbelief as he said with a trembling body, "He can already absorb a 26,000-year soul ring. What is this? Why can he absorb Whale Rubber almost without limit? Are God-Level Martial Souls really this strong?"
The other Elders also revealed utterly shocked expressions. They turned to look at Bibi Dong, who possessed Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, and discovered that she was already struggling greatly to absorb soul rings only several thousand years old. Her first soul ring likely still could not break through a thousand years; it was estimated that only her second soul ring could exceed a thousand years.
Yet Xiao Yao's body was like a bottomless pit, wantonly devouring Whale Rubber that was tens of thousands or even a hundred thousand years old, with almost nothing happening to him.
What kind of monster was this? Was the Golden Lion Mastiff really this overpowered? Was it truly this strong? Was this really only a God-Level Martial Soul?
Compared to the Six-Winged Angel, wasn't the gap between God-Level Martial Souls far too great?
