Lin Chuan Snagged Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue and Guided Tang San

That thing had been tossed into a pile of scrap.

It was priced at only a few silver soul coins, clearly treated as a worthless fossil.

But in Lin Chuan's eyes, a faint energy fluctuation lingered within it.

Without showing any reaction, he paid for it and took the stone into his hand.

The instant his fingertips touched it—

This was the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue rewarded by the system!

The corners of Lin Chuan's lips curled into an imperceptible smile.

This was a treasure capable of causing a qualitative transformation in one's physique.

He immediately booked a top-tier suite at the most luxurious hotel in Suotuo City.

"This system thing really is amazing when it comes to snagging bargains."

Lin Chuan looked at the black gelatinous substance in his hand.

The immense energy contained within even left Lin Chuan rather astonished.

"Let's begin. Let me see just how much this ten-thousand-year-old stuff can improve me."

Lin Chuan sat cross-legged on the bed as Golden Crow Fire suddenly rose from his palm.

The supremely yang and unyielding Golden Crow Fire—

Under Lin Chuan's exquisite control—

Gradually removed the impurities from the Whale Glue.

It was so black that it seemed to shine!

Lin Chuan tilted back his head and swallowed it in one gulp.

Boom!

The medicinal effects of the Whale Glue rampaged through his meridians.

They turned into a surging torrent that washed over every inch of his body.

Every cell in his body rejoiced.

As time passed, a layer of dark impurities seeped from the surface of Lin Chuan's skin.

After a long while—

Lin Chuan opened his eyes.

A sharp gleam flashed through them.

"Whew—refreshing!"

Lin Chuan could not help sighing. He had finally experienced the classic cleansing of marrow and sinews for himself.

He rushed into the bathroom and washed the grime from his body.

When he stood before the mirror again, he seemed completely reborn.

His skin was crystalline like jade, while his muscles were streamlined and brimming with explosive power.

Though he did not look overly bulky, the strength contained within him was enough to make one's heart tremble.

"Soul Power level thirty-five!"

Lin Chuan clenched his fist and felt the force surging through his body.

"Not only did I rise a full level, my physical condition has doubled."

"Even without summoning my Martial Soul, I could probably contend head-on with an ordinary Soul Ancestor using sheer physical strength."

"Moreover, Golden Crow Fire completely refined the lustful and evil aura within the Whale Glue, leaving behind only the purest source of life."

"This feeling is simply indescribable."

By the time he returned to Shrek Academy, it was already late at night.

Lin Chuan had just pushed open the dormitory door—

When he saw a figure sitting cross-legged on the bed.

It was obvious he had been waiting for him.

"Big Brother, you're back!"

Hearing the movement, Tang San immediately opened his eyes, excitement gleaming within them.

"Why are you still awake this late? Waiting for me?" Lin Chuan raised a brow.

"Big Brother, after eating the Whale Glue, I feel like my physical condition has improved tremendously, and Mysterious Heaven Skill shows signs of breaking through as well."

Tang San leaped off the bed, his gaze blazing.

"I'd like to ask Big Brother to give me some pointers!"

"Sure. Let's go outside."

Lin Chuan also happened to want to test his current physical strength.

The two arrived at an open space outside the dormitory.

Moonlight spilled across their bodies.

"Big Brother, be careful! I won't use my Martial Soul or hidden weapons—only the Tang Sect's ultimate techniques!"

Tang San gave a low shout.

He stepped into Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

His figure instantly turned into an afterimage as he charged at Lin Chuan in an unpredictable, eerie path.

His hands gleamed with a lustrous jade color.

He pushed Mysterious Jade Hand to its limit and struck directly at Lin Chuan's shoulder.

Faced with Tang San's incomparably exquisite attack—

Lin Chuan merely stood where he was, not even attempting to dodge.

Just as Tang San's palm was about to touch him, Lin Chuan moved.

There was no fancy footwork, only speed taken to the extreme and absolute strength.

Smack!

Lin Chuan moved after Tang San, yet arrived first.

With what looked like a casual lift of his hand, he precisely caught Tang San by the wrist.

Tang San was greatly shocked.

He immediately used Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, trying to redirect the force and counterattack.

But to his horror, Lin Chuan's hand was like an iron clamp, utterly unmoving!

The tremendous force transmitted through it was like a mountain!

"How is this possible?!"

Tang San gritted his teeth and twisted his body.

He tried to slip free from Lin Chuan's grip.

But Lin Chuan merely gave his wrist a light shake.

A vibrating force surged through him.

Tang San was sent flying five or six meters before stumbling as he landed.

"Again."

Lin Chuan crooked a finger at him.

Tang San refused to accept it and charged in again.

Once, twice, three times...

In just ten minutes, Tang San was sent flying more than a dozen times.

No matter how strange his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was—

No matter how exquisite his Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon was—

Before Lin Chuan's absolute physical condition and reaction speed, they were no more than children's tricks.

"Huff... huff..."

Tang San slumped onto the ground.

He panted heavily, sweat soaking the back of his clothes.

As he looked at Lin Chuan, who was still neither flushed nor out of breath, without even a rumpled corner of clothing—

His eyes were filled with shock and confusion.

"Big Brother, why?"

Tang San asked bitterly.

"During this time, I've been cultivating desperately every day. With the help of the Whale Glue, I thought my progress had been incredibly fast."

"But why does the gap between us seem to be growing even wider when I'm facing you?"

"I even feel that if I don't use hidden weapons or the Clear Sky Hammer, I can't even suppress Dai Mubai."

"Is Blue Silver Grass ultimately a Trash Martial Soul? Does it truly limit my potential?"

This was the true reason Tang San had sought Lin Chuan out for a spar tonight.

After Dai Mubai absorbed the Whale Glue—

The tyrannical power of his White Tiger Martial Soul had made Tang San feel immense pressure.

As a control-system Spirit Master, if the difference in strength was too great, his control would fail.

This had caused him to doubt his own Blue Silver Grass.

Lin Chuan walked over and sat beside Tang San.

Patting his shoulder, he said,

"Xiao San, you're getting yourself worked up over nothing."

"First of all, the reason I'm strong is because I just ate something good."

Lin Chuan said casually,

"I snagged some Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue at an auction and ate it myself."

Upon hearing this, Tang San felt no jealousy at all.

Instead, he nodded as though it were only natural.

"So that's how it is!"

"Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue contains such violent energy that ordinary people would likely explode and die after consuming it."

"Only an unparalleled genius like Big Brother could absorb it perfectly!"

"Big Brother truly is the chosen son of fortune!"

Lin Chuan: "..."

Why had this kid started making things up in his head all by himself?

Still, if this kid lost his resolve and stopped cultivating seriously, would Lin Chuan have to work hard at cultivation himself?

He wanted no part of that kind of life as a cultivation maniac.

Yu Xiaogang could be the nanny instead.

Lin Chuan only needed to be Xiao San's life mentor and point him in the right direction!

Lin Chuan restrained his smile and looked seriously at Tang San.

"Do you think your Weapon Martial Soul—that hammer—is an ordinary Martial Soul?"

"Could the other Martial Soul of someone who possesses a top-tier Weapon Martial Soul possibly be some worthless grass found everywhere?"

Tang San's entire body shook as he abruptly raised his head.

"Big Brother, you mean..."

"All things seek balance."

Lin Chuan pointed at the Blue Silver Grass on the ground.

"Ordinary Blue Silver Grass is indeed weak."

"But your Blue Silver Grass is tough and possesses tenacious vitality."

"It can even withstand Spirit Rings beyond its normal limit. That alone is abnormal."

"Perhaps it is merely lying dormant now, waiting for an opportunity to awaken."

"Just like my Blue Silver Grass."

"That is also why I want to take you all away from Suotuo City."

Lin Chuan rose to his feet and stood with his hands behind his back.

He looked northward.

"Suotuo City is too small. This pond cannot raise a true dragon."

"You need to go into a broader world and search for the opportunity that will awaken your Martial Soul."

Watching Lin Chuan's posture—

Listening to Lin Chuan's words—

Tang San only felt that Brother Lin Chuan was lofty and majestic!

Enlightenment suddenly dawned on him.
