At this thought, Bibi Dong could only follow Song Ye's lead.

She fell silent for a long while, then coughed twice unconsciously before finally speaking.

"Since that's the case, Ye'er, then..."

"Mother is willing to believe you."

"It's good that you have ambition. Perhaps Spirit Hall truly isn't suitable for us to stay in."

"But since you say you want to establish yourself independently, what exactly is your plan?"

Since Bibi Dong had decided to continue pretending in the future, she might as well use this identity to gradually force out Song Ye's potential.

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Song Ye finally relaxed.

"Mother, you can finally see things this way."

"Establishing ourselves independently is something that must be done. Otherwise, I'd be wasting my ability to see through fortune and my Imperial Seal Spirit."

"As for the specific steps, I still need to think them through. My most urgent task right now is increasing my strength!"

"On the vast Douluo Continent, only sufficient strength gives one the right to talk about anything else."

"Mm, I agree with that." Bibi Dong nodded.

Then she continued asking, "Since you wish to increase your strength, how do you plan to do so?"

"Your Martial Soul is the Imperial Seal, Ye'er, and you awakened with Innate Full Soul Power."

"Logically, you should first obtain your first Soul Ring. Do you have a target for it?"

This was also one of the reasons Bibi Dong trusted Song Ye even more.

The Imperial Seal Spirit determined Song Ye's uniqueness. More importantly, he possessed Innate Full Soul Power, which already far surpassed Hu Liena and the others.

Even if Song Ye could not become an emperor, with the Imperial Seal Spirit and Innate Full Soul Power, he could still be cultivated into the next top-tier Title Douluo.

Combined with Song Ye's claim that pursuing strength was the right path, she naturally thought of his first Soul Ring.

Yet upon hearing Bibi Dong's question, Song Ye was no longer anxious.

As long as he ensured that his mother was willing to listen to him, he could proceed gradually in the future.

As for his first Soul Ring, Song Ye had already made preparations.

He took the initiative to say,

"Mother, this first Soul Ring is the starting point of my growth. There absolutely cannot be the slightest mistake."

"For ordinary people, the limit for a first Soul Ring is roughly three or four hundred years. Even the great aristocratic families obtain Soul Rings for their descendants in this manner."

"But I am different!"

"I was born with the bearing of an emperor! From the very beginning, I must surpass them. A mere hundred-year Soul Ring can never satisfy me!"

"What do you mean?"

Bibi Dong listened, seeing how confident her son was.

She immediately sensed that there might be something unusual here.

What did he mean by saying a hundred-year Soul Ring was insufficient? Even her own first Soul Ring had only been a hundred years.

Could it be that her son wanted to obtain a thousand-year Soul Ring as his first?

That was impossible.

Bibi Dong immediately looked at Song Ye suspiciously, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Song Ye remained unhurried as he explained.

"Mother, I possess the ability to see through fortune, and I bear the blessings of heaven."

"On top of that, I have studied all kinds of books since I was young, seeking opportunities in Martial Soul theory."

"Through my research, I discovered that Whale Rubber, often regarded on the Douluo Continent as medicine for stimulating desire, possesses powerful body-tempering effects."

"As long as I consume high-year Whale Rubber to temper my body, my physique can improve by leaps and bounds. Then my first Soul Ring will be able to reach the thousand-year level!"

Song Ye recalled the original work. In order to lay a solid foundation for himself, he immediately revealed the body-tempering method involving Whale Rubber from Douluo Dalu II.

If his first Soul Ring could not even reach a thousand years, then he, a transmigrator, would truly be an embarrassment.

However, saying it was one thing; how Bibi Dong heard it was another.

"Whale Rubber?"

The moment Bibi Dong heard that item, her brows furrowed tightly, and she grew somewhat worried.

It was not as if she had never heard of Whale Rubber. It was indeed used by men to enhance that particular aspect of themselves.

And now Ye'er was saying he wanted to consume Whale Rubber, and that it could temper the body?

After tempering his body, he could directly absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring as his first?

Bibi Dong was completely baffled.

"Ye'er, where did you read that Whale Rubber can temper the body?"

"That can't be possible, can it? This stuff is generally used in places of pleasure."

"Wait, you're only six years old. You haven't gone to that kind of place, have you?!"

As Bibi Dong spoke, she misunderstood him and naturally let her thoughts drift in that direction.

The look in her eyes as she stared at Song Ye changed immediately.

But Song Ye was instantly speechless. "Mother, what nonsense are you thinking?"

"I haven't even grown any hair yet, I..."

"Whale Rubber is indeed often used for those things, but its ability to temper the physique is also something I discovered through years of research."

"You can rest completely assured about this. No matter how bold I am, would I harm my own interests?"

"If I weren't so young, I would have gone to buy it myself long ago."

"Mother, believe me. As long as you find me a piece of high-year Whale Rubber, such as Whale Rubber that is over ten thousand years old, and let me consume it—"

"Then forget a thousand-year Soul Ring. I can even absorb one that is two or three thousand years old as my first Soul Ring!"

"With such a foundation, wouldn't it provide unimaginable support for my future development?!"

To convince his mother, Song Ye became more excited and more confident as he spoke, even swearing on his character.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong could not detect the slightest hint that Song Ye was joking.

Though still doubtful, she ultimately nodded.

"Fine. Whale Rubber isn't difficult to find."

"I'll look for it for you later. If it truly can temper the body, Ye'er, then this will be a special cultivation method you discovered!"

"However... I've already delayed Spirit Hall affairs somewhat by coming to see you today."

"It's getting late. I must leave first. Once I bring the items, Mother will come find you again."

As Bibi Dong spoke, she was even a little excited. What if this really worked?

Wouldn't that mean that, aside from Song Ye, the younger disciples she was cultivating in Spirit Hall could also temper their bodies and absorb better Soul Rings?

That was the true reason for Bibi Dong's excitement.

Seeing this, Song Ye offered more reassuring words and guarantees, making Bibi Dong feel even more at ease.

At the same time, there was no need to worry about the Whale Rubber. His attempt to persuade his mother today had also achieved results.

Song Ye and Bibi Dong could not keep talking nonsense here, after all, Bibi Dong truly had Spirit Hall matters to handle.

Bibi Dong memorized everything Song Ye needed and could only leave for now.

However, before she left, Song Ye still reminded Bibi Dong that aside from the Whale Rubber he needed, she also had to find blacksmiths to custom-make some metal items for him.

Bibi Dong looked at the metal objects drawn on those blueprints and muttered to herself, unable to understand them at all.

After seeing Bibi Dong out, Song Ye watched her departing figure, clasped his hands behind his back, and muttered thoughtfully,

"Mother still doesn't seem to trust me completely. Or perhaps she simply isn't confident enough about becoming independent."

"That's normal. It seems I'll have to continue giving her something to build her confidence."

"The Whale Rubber is one aspect. The arrows I asked Mother to have blacksmiths make are another."

"Tang San can use Hidden Weapons to dominate the Douluo Continent."

"Could I, someone who received a higher education and saw so many marketing posts in my previous life, really fail to create weapons and tools comparable to Hidden Weapons?"

"Once the armaments are prepared and my strength grows, sooner or later Mother will completely believe in me..."
