Shui Bing'er

Ever since the secret of Whale Glue had been discovered.

The entire Feng Clan had begun moving in secret.

Large numbers of merchant caravans were sent to various coastal regions of the Heaven Dou Empire.

They frantically bought up every piece of Whale Glue on the market.

In just one short month, the Feng Clan had purchased several hundred pieces of Whale Glue of different ages.

Such a massive operation naturally drew the attention of every major faction.

Spirit Hall.

The Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

They all began investigating the Feng Clan.

In the Feng Clan's rear courtyard.

Feng Xiaoyuan sat cross-legged on the bed.

Pale cyan soul power continuously circulated through his body.

In one month, his soul power had already reached the peak of rank 14.

He was only one step away from rank 15.

Just then, the room door was slowly pushed open.

Feng Yan walked in.

When Feng Xiaoyuan saw the jade box in his father's hand, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Could that be Whale Glue?"

A smile appeared on Feng Yan's face.

"Our luck wasn't bad."

"Among this first batch of Whale Glue transported back,"

"we found one piece that was ninety-five hundred years old."

As he spoke, the jade box slowly opened.

A deep golden sheen came into view.

A fist-sized piece of Whale Glue lay quietly in the center of the box.

This piece of Whale Glue faintly gave off a dense wave of energy.

After Feng Xiaoyuan saw it, even his breathing quickened.

Ninety-five hundred years. This was Whale Glue close to the ten-thousand-year level.

It was even higher than he had expected.

But Feng Yan did not immediately hand the Whale Glue to Feng Xiaoyuan.

"This is a piece of Whale Glue close to the ten-thousand-year level."

"I'm not comfortable letting you absorb it alone."

"According to what you said,"

"although high-age Whale Glue has better effects,"

"it also carries an extremely high risk."

"The slightest carelessness could injure your body."

Feng Xiaoyuan had just been about to speak

when the sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Immediately after, a blue figure slowly walked in through the doorway.

The young girl wore a blue dress.

Her long ice-blue hair fell to her waist.

Those pale blue eyes were as clear as lake water.

Although she looked very young, she already revealed astonishing beauty.

Feng Yan introduced her with a smile.

"Shui Bing'er."

"A rank nineteen control-type soul master. Her Martial Soul is the Ice Phoenix."

"She came here specifically to help you absorb the Whale Glue."

Shui Bing'er.

As a transmigrator, he naturally knew her.

That renowned ice-type genius.

He just hadn't expected

to meet her here ahead of time.

Feng Xiaoyuan spoke with feigned calm.

"Hello."

Shui Bing'er was also sizing up Feng Xiaoyuan before her.

Divine Wind Academy's most mysterious genius.

Extremely talented.

It was said he had even awakened a special Martial Soul.

"Hello."

Shui Bing'er's voice was cold and crisp.

The two of them exchanged simple greetings.

Only then did Feng Yan begin to explain.

It turned out that, to ensure Feng Xiaoyuan could smoothly absorb the Whale Glue, he had personally gone to Tianshui Academy

and told Tianshui Academy's dean the secret of the Whale Glue.

At first, everyone at Tianshui Academy did not believe it at all.

But after verifying it, the entire Tianshui Academy was shocked.

In the end, the two sides reached an agreement.

Tianshui Academy would help the Feng Clan absorb Whale Glue and lessen the burning heat it brought.

Divine Wind Academy could also provide assistance to Tianshui Academy.

After briefly explaining everything, Feng Yan looked at the two of them.

"What happens next is up to you."

"The Feng Clan has had too much going on lately."

"We can't do without people for the matter of purchasing Whale Glue."

"Besides, I've already prepared everything I should for you."

"So I'll leave first."

After saying that, Feng Yan patted Feng Xiaoyuan on the shoulder.

Then he left Feng Xiaoyuan's room.

The whole room instantly fell silent.

Only Feng Xiaoyuan and Shui Bing'er remained.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat subtle.

In the end, it was Feng Xiaoyuan who spoke first.

"Why don't we start?"

Shui Bing'er nodded lightly.

"All right."

Very quickly, Feng Xiaoyuan moved a large wooden tub inside.

It was filled with ice water.

Many ice-attribute treasures were placed around it as well.

Threads of cold air hung in the room.

Feng Xiaoyuan did not hesitate. He took off all his clothes.

Then he stepped directly into the wooden tub.

When Shui Bing'er saw this, a blush quietly crept up to her ears.

He cursed softly.

"Pah. Shameless."

People on the Douluo Continent generally matured early.

At seven years old, Feng Xiaoyuan was already close to one and a half meters tall.

Everything that should have developed on his body had developed.

Feng Xiaoyuan seemed to have heard something.

"Huh? What did you say?"

Shui Bing'er was startled by Feng Xiaoyuan's words, then stammered.

"N-Nothing. Hurry up and start."

Feng Xiaoyuan did not think too much of it either.

He then used soul power to condense flames, slowly melting the Whale Glue.

Immediately after, he swallowed the Whale Glue in one gulp.

The next second.

The energy inside the Whale Glue erupted instantly.

Violent energy battered every part of his body.

His internal organs felt as if they had caught fire.

Feng Xiaoyuan's face instantly flushed crimson.

Veins bulged on his forehead.

The ice water in the wooden tub began to boil.

Large amounts of steam kept evaporating.

Shui Bing'er saw this.

For a moment, she was somewhat at a loss.

Before coming, the dean had only told her to use ice-attribute soul power to help Feng Xiaoyuan lessen the side effects brought by the Whale Glue.

But no one had told her exactly what to do.

Seeing the aura inside Feng Xiaoyuan's body grow more and more violent.

Shui Bing'er finally gritted her teeth and made a decision.

Then she stepped straight into the wooden tub.

A bone-piercing chill instantly surged up.

Shui Bing'er could no longer worry about that much.

She came behind Feng Xiaoyuan and sat down cross-legged.

She slowly pressed her palms against his back.

The next moment, Shui Bing'er summoned the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul.

Pure ice-attribute soul power continuously flowed through her palms and into Feng Xiaoyuan's body.

The originally violent energy was steadily calmed.

In the end, it was slowly suppressed.

Feng Xiaoyuan immediately felt the pressure ease considerably.

The scorching heat that had almost set his body ablaze also slowly faded.

"It's working."

Shui Bing'er's eyes lit up.

She immediately increased the output of her soul power.

Ice-blue light flickered nonstop.

The ice cubes around the entire wooden tub, which had nearly melted, froze solid once again.

Feng Xiaoyuan began refining the medicinal power bit by bit.

The immense energy contained within the Whale Glue continuously strengthened his body.

His bones, muscles, meridians, and internal organs were all undergoing an astonishing transformation.

One hour later.

Feng Xiaoyuan finally finished refining all of the Whale Glue.

His soul power, which had been at the peak of rank fourteen, began to break through at that moment.

His soul power began to surge wildly.

A powerful aura spread outward.

Level fifteen.

Level sixteen.

Level seventeen.

Feng Xiaoyuan opened his eyes and shot to his feet.

"I finally broke through."

"The medicinal power of this Whale Glue not only strengthened my body, it also helped me break through to level seventeen."

Feng Xiaoyuan turned around.

He had meant to thank Shui Bing'er.

But he saw that Shui Bing'er's pretty face was so red it looked as if it might drip water.

"Miss Shui, what's wrong? Were you hurt while I was absorbing the Whale Glue?"

After Shui Bing'er heard that, her cheeks seemed to turn even redder.

But she said nothing, only pointed at Feng Xiaoyuan with her finger.

Feng Xiaoyuan followed the direction of Shui Bing'er's finger and looked down.

In an instant, he understood what was going on.

He hurriedly took a set of clothes out of his Storage Soul Guidance Device.

"I'm truly sorry, Miss Shui."
