"Ten levels in one year... Hehe." Even Yu Changge could not help but grin after doing the math.
Compared to Soul Masters his age outside, his cultivation speed could already be considered exceptionally fast.
In the original story, Tang San had taken six years to rise from level ten to level twenty-nine, while Huo Yuhao, with Innate Level One Soul Power, had spent five years cultivating to level ten.
Yet he would go from Innate Half-Level Soul Power to level ten in only about a year and a half, barring any surprises.
How was there even the slightest trace of an Innate Half-Level Soul Power good-for-nothing left in him?
He was cultivating faster than some Soul Masters with Innate Level Four or Five Soul Power!
He was even cultivating faster than some so-called "genius" Soul Masters with Innate Level Five or Six Soul Power!
Of course, Yu Changge knew full well that all of this was thanks to cheats and capable parents.
He was quite good at comforting himself.
Over the past few days, he had heard some gossip from his father: Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power was currently only level two.
Although their cultivation resources appeared roughly equal on the surface, Yu Xiaogang did not need to spend time studying theory or practicing physical techniques every day.
It could be said that Yu Xiaogang devoted all his energy to cultivation aside from eating, sleeping, and learning essential theoretical knowledge.
Of course, Yu Changge had no interest in verifying whether Yu Xiaogang truly did that.
Nor did he care whether their cultivation resources were truly equal.
The resources he currently possessed had, in fact, already quietly surpassed what a Soul Saint family could afford to sustain over the long term.
And the result?
Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power was growing at roughly the same speed as his.
Still, Yu Changge could understand Yu Xiaogang's current behavior.
As the son of Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, yet awakening a useless "Pig" Martial Soul—who could bear such a plunge from the clouds into the mud?
No matter how low his Innate Soul Power was, Yu Xiaogang still had a fire burning within him.
His desperate desire to defy fate was exactly like those underdog protagonists from novels in Yu Changge's previous life who shouted, "My fate is mine, not Heaven's."
Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang was working in the wrong direction. No matter how hard he struggled, it would all be in vain.
Yu Changge then took a deep breath and carefully retrieved an amber-colored object from his Soul Tool.
It was a refined piece of Whale Rubber about half the size of his palm.
The Whale Rubber gleamed with a gentle luster beneath the lamplight, looking like a fine slab of aspic.
Yu Changge stared at the Whale Rubber in his hand, his thoughts drifting away.
Earlier, Yu Changge had taken advantage of Yu Tianqing joining a clan team to hunt soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest and gone alone to find the clan's logistics steward.
Using his status as the "son of a Soul Saint," along with a substantial sum of pocket money, he had obtained a piece of Whale Rubber that was several decades old from the steward.
Not many people in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan used this stuff, because aside from enhancing male virility, it was basically useless.
And unless someone was in the passionate stage of a relationship and did it frequently, or was old and physically lacking and needed it as a supplement, who would ever need such a thing?
After obtaining it, Yu Changge did not eat it directly. Instead, he paid a Soul Master within the clan who had awakened a Fire Attribute Martial Soul to refine it according to the method he remembered.
Under the other man's strange gaze, the impurities in the Whale Rubber were removed, leaving it in its current translucent state.
After returning to his room, Yu Changge immediately began taking and absorbing it. Naturally, Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao could not be kept in the dark afterward.
When the couple learned that their son was consuming such an "adult-only" tonic, they had initially intended to give him a harsh scolding.
But once they learned that refined Whale Rubber could improve one's physique, both of them were utterly stunned.
They immediately examined their son's physique and reached a conclusion: Yu Changge's strength, flexibility, and vitality had indeed all improved slightly.
The couple could no longer sit still and immediately asked how he had learned of such a method.
After all, in their understanding, Whale Rubber was purely something men used to regain their virility. If children ate it, they would probably get nosebleeds.
Yu Changge had long prepared an excuse for this and directly shifted the blame onto his Martial Soul.
With an innocent and guileless expression, he said, "That day, I found Xiao Huang rummaging around the house. I don't know where it found a piece of roasted Whale Rubber."
"After Xiao Huang ate it, I took it back, and I felt hot all over, while my heart was beating very fast."
"After I endured it, I found that my physique seemed to have improved too."
"That's why I found a way to get a piece from the steward and try it. I didn't tell you beforehand because I was afraid you'd say I was fooling around."
After hearing this, the corner of Yu Tianqing's mouth twitched slightly as he sank into a long silence. Yu Shuyao stood frozen in place, the expression on her face extremely vivid.
While speechless, the couple's faces both flushed bright red.
After all, why their home had such virility-enhancing Whale Rubber in stock was something they could hardly explain in detail to a six-year-old child.
Yu Shuyao could not help shooting her husband a glare as she transmitted irritably, "It's all your fault! Didn't you put your things away properly? Otherwise, how could Xiao Huang, with that pig brain, have dug it out and eaten it?"
Yu Tianqing truly had no way to explain himself. He was baffled too.
He had clearly stored it away well. Could Xiao Huang's nose really be sharper than a dog's?
But awkwardness aside, they quickly realized the significance of this matter to the clan.
If Whale Rubber could truly improve the physiques of Soul Masters on a broad scale, it would be enormously significant for the entire clan!
It would not only mean that the clan members' combat strength would improve, but also that future generations could withstand higher Soul Ring ages when attaching Soul Rings.
After discussing it, the two decided that Yu Tianqing should report the matter to Yu Yuanzhen.
Their family could not keep Whale Rubber's new effect to themselves. It would be better to exchange it with the clan for cultivation resources.
In their eyes, their son would still need a long time to cultivate to level ten. Keeping this discovery for themselves would be of no use, so they might as well hand it over and trade it to the clan for resources, shortening the time needed for their son to break through.
They even specifically asked for Yu Changge's opinion, since he had discovered it.
Yu Changge had no objections. He knew very well that Whale Rubber could build drug resistance.
The several-decades-old variety was still effective for him now, but later, he would likely need hundred-year or thousand-year varieties.
Of course, thousand-year Whale Rubber was out of the question. With his cultivation, consuming it would probably leave him burning with desire. He could not exactly go find someone at random to do that sort of thing with.
As for hundred-year Whale Rubber, once he became accustomed to the several-decades-old variety, he might be able to try it.
