Feeding Tang San Whale Rubber...

Tang San smiled.

This Thunder Gangzi... was that insecure?

He even had to rehearse how he would speak to Uncle later.

How greasy!

"Hmph, but with Uncle's temperament and looks, it was only natural for this guy to feel insecure, nervous, and inferior."

"Since you're so nervous, I'll help you relax a little."

Tang San chuckled as he watched Yu Xiaogang walk ahead.

Soon,

Yu Xiaogang reached the trap. Under Tang San's expectant gaze,

Thud!

He stepped into empty air and fell into the deep pit.

"Ah!!!!"

This was followed by a soul-piercing, miserable scream.

Tang San had placed a Steel Strawberry Tower in the pit!

Yu Xiaogang landed on it butt-first!

It would not kill him, but Yu Xiaogang would probably never let out a loud fart again.

"Hehe, Master, they say your martial soul is a Farting Pig. I'm clearing you out so you'll never be able to fart loudly again."

Tang San excitedly rubbed his hands together. Seeing Gangzi fall for it, he immediately slipped away.

"What are you doing, Little San?"

"Where did you go?"

Yin Chuan caught the furtive-looking Tang San at the entrance to Dorm Seven.

"Nowhere. I just had something to take care of."

Having just done something bad, Tang San felt a little guilty. He scratched his head as he spoke.

He had chosen class time.

He had checked the timing and kept watch. No one should know that he had dug the pit Yu Xiaogang stepped into, right?

"Come with me."

Yin Chuan said nothing more and pulled Tang San away.

Soon,

Uncle and nephew arrived at Yin Chuan's rather luxurious teacher's dormitory.

There was a small vat in the room, filled with scorching red gelatinous substance.

"Eat it while it's hot."

Yin Chuan spoke to Tang San.

"Yes!"

Tang San did not even furrow his brow.

He asked nothing.

He directly picked up the scalding vat, opened his mouth wide, and began swallowing the red jelly.

Would Uncle harm him?

If Uncle told him to eat, then he would eat!

Sizzle, sizzle—

The boiling red jelly entered his mouth, instantly scalding Tang San's face bright red.

And it was fishy!

The taste was truly terrible. Tang San nearly could not stop himself from vomiting.

But it was Uncle's order. No matter how hot it was, he had to eat it!

"Not bad. Bear with it."

"This is Whale Rubber. Ordinary people use it as an aphrodisiac,"

"But Uncle has a more advanced use for it!"

"Soften it with high heat to activate its medicinal properties. Taking it then can strengthen the body."

"Whale Rubber has to be eaten hot. Once it cools, the effect is greatly reduced."

Yin Chuan was quite satisfied with Tang San's ability to carry out orders.

When told to eat, he ate.

He endured the heat without spilling a single drop.

What a fine nephew!

Tang San was ruthless toward himself beyond words.

"Ugh..."

Tang San was already struggling to continue after swallowing half of it, but upon hearing Uncle's explanation and praise, he immediately found new strength.

This was good stuff!

He could not waste Uncle's thoughtfulness!

Gulp, gulp...

Tang San cleaned out the entire small vat of Whale Rubber.

He immediately felt it.

His entire body grew hot, burning fiercely from the inside out, yet it was warm and comfortable as well.

"Sit down. Meditate. Refine the medicinal power."

Yin Chuan's voice rang out again.

Tang San instinctively sat cross-legged. Then he felt a large hand press against his back—steady and reliable.

At the same time,

A stream of pure, abundant Soul Power entered his body, guiding the circulation of his Soul Power and helping him refine the medicinal power of the Whale Rubber.

"Ah~"

Tang San could not help letting out a comfortable moan.

At this moment,

His heart simply could not calm down. A flame suddenly rose within it, blazing fiercely and impossible to suppress.

The side effect of Whale Rubber!

It worked even on a six-year-old child.

[Side Quest: Help Tang San refine thousand-year Whale Rubber and increase Tang San's natal soul ring lifespan by 500 years. Completed!]

[Reward: First soul ring lifespan increased by 1,000 years]

[Reward: Spirit Ring Disguise Technique (can disguise a soul ring's lifespan and aura)]

Yin Chuan also heard the delightful sound of the quest settlement.

Aside from the Main Quest,

The Good Uncle System occasionally issued Side Quests as well. Today, he had accepted a task to feed Tang San Whale Rubber.

Thousand-year Whale Rubber could increase the lifespan one could endure for a soul ring by 500 years.

And Tang San's first ring was special.

Although it had been obtained by hunting and absorbing Blue Silver Grass,

It was also the natal soul ring of his transformed Blue Silver Tyrant Spear martial soul, so it could grow along with Tang San.

After Tang San refined the thousand-year Whale Rubber, the lifespan of his first soul ring rose to a thousand years.

Purple!!

A dazzling purple soul ring appeared beneath Tang San's feet, immediately leaving him shocked and delighted.

"A thousand-year soul ring?!"

After several days of classes, Tang San had already learned the common knowledge of Douluo Continent.

Naturally, he knew what the colors of soul rings represented.

Could a soul ring's color change?

Could its lifespan increase?

Was it because of the Whale Rubber he had just eaten?

Tang San was filled with doubts, but in the end, every thought turned into gratitude toward Uncle.

Uncle, Uncle,

You have shown Little San such great favor. How could Little San ever repay you?

Yin Chuan had likewise gained greatly.

His first soul ring had originally been one thousand years. The system increased it by another thousand years, making it two thousand years.

Originally, Blue Silver Peak Strength increased all attributes by 100% and strength by 300%.

Now, it increased all attributes by 150% and strength by 500%!

The improvement was considerable.

My strength is slowly recovering!

Yin Chuan clenched his fist, sensing his own power as a sharp gleam flashed through his eyes.

When he had still been a ninety-thousand-year Blue Silver King,

This move, Blue Silver Peak Strength, could only increase his strength by 500%. Now the system had directly restored him to his peak.

Surpassing his peak was only a matter of time.

Blue Silver Peak Strength, All Vegetation as Soldiers, Donning Armor and Wielding Weapons... these soul skills had originally been his own abilities.

Back when he was the Blue Silver King, with this set of soul skills, he had never been inferior to Tang Hao among those of the same level.

More accurately, he should not have been called the Blue Silver King. He should have been called the Blue Silver Overlord.

He was a mutated Blue Silver King.

He possessed a strength attribute close to Ultimate Strength.

He ignored the bloodline suppression of the Blue Silver Emperor and possessed multiple natal soul skills and Self-Created Soul Skills.

Now, he also had the Domination Domain granted by the system. His combat power had increased at least tenfold!

"Little San, how do you feel?"

Yin Chuan withdrew from his thoughts and fetched a bucket of cold water to cool Tang San down.

Whether it was the increased soul ring lifespan,

Or the Domination Domain,

They were both what a good uncle deserved!

"Uncle, I'm so hot!"

Tang San impatiently climbed into the bucket to cool down.

His entire body was red, like a cooked shrimp. When he entered the bucket, he even evaporated some of the water, sending up steam.

"Feeling hot means you're growing."

Yin Chuan stood nearby, studying Tang San's little thing.

Though he said that,

He still added some ice cubes to the bucket to make Tang San feel better.

Knock, knock, knock!

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

Yin Chuan frowned.

Who was interrupting them at a time like this?

He opened the door and saw the Dean of Nuoding and the limping Yu Xiaogang.

The moment Yu Xiaogang saw him, his eyes blazed with fury. He wanted to say something, but the dean held him back.

"Yin Chuan, did you go to the small forest behind the courtyard?"

the Dean of Nuoding asked.

"No. Other than teaching today, I was brewing medicinal herbs and preparing a medicinal bath for my nephew."

Yin Chuan replied coldly.

"Then what about your nephew, Tang San?"

"Did he go there?"

Yin Chuan had indeed been teaching, so Yu Xiaogang strongly suspected that Tang San was the one who had set him up.

He already knew that Tang San had asked for leave from class.

"No."

"My nephew took leave because I had him return to brew medicine."

"The herbs we were brewing needed to be heated for a long time with the temperature carefully controlled, so we couldn't leave."

"If the two of you don't believe me, feel free to inspect."

Yin Chuan naturally had to protect his nephew.
