Whale jelly was a special substance found in the brains of whale-type sea soul beasts, an extremely potent tonic of the purest yang nature.

However, whether on the mainland or Sea God Island, it was generally regarded as an aphrodisiac.

When Sea Dragon Douluo heard the High Priestess's voice transmission, he was utterly dumbfounded.

How old was the High Priestess already? What did she need that stuff for?

Could it be...

Sea Dragon Douluo's pupils suddenly contracted.

The High Priestess... she couldn't be that perverted, could she?

He stood there in a daze for a long while.

It was not until Bo Saixi sent another voice transmission to urge him that Sea Dragon Douluo snapped out of it and hurriedly went to find a piece of thousand-year whale jelly.

Whale jelly was not some luxury item on Sea God Island.

After all, the residents of Sea God Island lived off the sea.

They often brought goods unique to the sea to the mainland for sale, whale jelly among them.

Sea Dragon Douluo quickly found a piece of thousand-year whale jelly and delivered it to the central island of Sea God Island.

"High Priestess, this... I found the whale jelly."

He secretly glanced at Bo Saixi, then looked at Huang Long's expectant face beside her, and his heart sank completely.

"Um... High Priestess, there is something I must say."

"Huang Long is only six years old now. Isn't this... a little too early?"

Bo Saixi had just accepted the whale jelly when she heard this and immediately realized that Sea Dragon Douluo had gotten the wrong idea. She shot him a cold glare.

She explained, "This whale jelly isn't for me. Huang Long wants it. He says it can strengthen his physique."

"What?" Sea Dragon Douluo looked at Huang Long in astonishment.

Huang Long nodded seriously. "Uncle Sea Dragon, please use flames to refine this whale jelly and remove its impurities until it softens and gives off a golden glow."

Sea Dragon Douluo frowned slightly and looked at Bo Saixi hesitantly.

Only after Bo Saixi nodded in agreement did he take the whale jelly with lingering doubts and fly off toward Sea Dragon City.

All along the way, he kept muttering to himself.

That stuff mainland nobles used as an aphrodisiac could strengthen one's physique?

Where had Huang Long learned that?

He shook his head helplessly and flew into Sea Dragon City.

By the time he returned, the whale jelly had completely softened and was giving off a distinctive fragrance.

"High Priestess, the whale jelly is ready."

"I have to say, it smelled fishy before it softened, but it actually smells rather nice now."

Bo Saixi glanced at the tray in his hands and nodded slightly.

"Huang Long, see if it's ready now."

"It is!" Huang Long looked at the golden whale jelly on the tray and nodded happily.

Then, unable to wait any longer, he picked it up and put it straight into his mouth.

The whale jelly did not taste as bad as he had imagined. Its texture was like jelly, soft, glutinous, and tasty.

Bo Saixi and Sea Dragon Douluo were both startled by his action.

But when they saw that he had already swallowed the whale jelly, they hurried over and carefully observed the changes in him.

Then they saw Huang Long's skin gradually turn red all over, while his body temperature continued to rise!

The whale jelly was beginning to take effect.

Huang Long only felt an unbearable heat surge through his body as the whale jelly's overbearing medicinal power ran wildly through his meridians.

He hurriedly sat down cross-legged and circulated his soul power with all his strength, guiding the whale jelly's medicinal power through his meridians.

Bo Saixi and Sea Dragon Douluo stood guard on either side of him, holding their breath as they watched his condition, afraid that something might go wrong.

"High Priestess, he ate an entire piece of thousand-year whale jelly in one go. Nothing will happen to him, right?" Sea Dragon Douluo asked worriedly.

Bo Saixi gently shook her head.

This was also the first time she had heard that whale jelly could be used to strengthen one's physique, so she had no experience with it.

But Huang Long had already eaten it, so all she could do was take things one step at a time.

Yet as she watched Huang Long's skin grow redder and his temperature rise higher and higher, she became so nervous that she forgot to breathe.

Time slipped by quietly.

Huang Long remained crimson all over, sitting cross-legged there like a little furnace.

His clothes had already been soaked through with sweat and clung tightly to his body, while his breathing grew heavy.

But after eight hours had passed.

The flush on his body gradually faded, his temperature returned to normal, and even his breathing steadied.

He opened his eyes, let out a long breath of stale air, and flexed his wrists. To his delight, he discovered that the power within him was indeed far more abundant than before.

He looked up at Bo Saixi and cried excitedly, "Teacher, I succeeded!"

"Don't get ahead of yourself!"

With a grave expression, Bo Saixi reached out and pressed a hand against his shoulder. Her soul power instantly spread across his entire body.

But in the next moment, her pupils contracted slightly as she said in surprise, "His physical strength really has improved considerably."

"The density of his muscles, the strength of his bones, and even the capacity of his meridians have all increased to varying degrees!"

"And it's not just his body. Even the circulation speed of the soul power within him is much faster than before!"

Upon hearing this, Sea Dragon Douluo sharply sucked in a breath.

"So whale glue really can help soul masters strengthen their physiques?"

As he spoke, the look in his eyes when he gazed at Huang Long became even more incredulous.

For all these years, people had only regarded whale glue as an aphrodisiac. Who would have thought it was also a treasure that could aid cultivation?

Bo Saixi nodded slightly. Under Huang Long's expectant gaze, she reached out and ruffled the top of his hair.

"Thank you, little fellow. You've discovered something extraordinary for Sea God Island."

"Sea Dragon, prepare more whale glue for Huang Long from now on, ranging from thousand-year to ten-thousand-year varieties."

"Yes!" Sea Dragon Douluo solemnly cupped his fists in salute.

From that day onward, a portion of thousand-year whale glue was delivered to Huang Long every day.

Even if Sea Dragon City did not have any, Sea Dragon Douluo would search for it in the other sacred cities.

And if he still could not find any, he would join the other Seven Sacred Pillar Douluos in hunting whale-type sea soul beasts to obtain whale glue.

As for Huang Long?

Every day, he consumed whale glue before climbing the stairs of the Sea God's Light.

Under such cultivation, describing his rate of improvement as "advancing by leaps and bounds" would not have been an exaggeration.

Only ten days passed.

He had completely gained a firm foothold on the first level of the Sea God's Light stairs, and he could cultivate on them for over half an hour.

Two months later.

He was no longer satisfied with the pressure on the first level and climbed directly to the fifth level.

By the fourth month.

That morning, at the foot of Sea God Mountain.

Bo Saixi and the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluos stood beneath the stairs, all looking up at Huang Long as he climbed higher.

Seeing that he was already standing steadily on the tenth level, the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluos had grown somewhat numb to it all. Some of them even began teasing him.

Sea Spear Douluo crossed his arms and laughed. "Tsk, tsk. He only awakened his martial soul four months ago, yet without Lord Sea God's trials, he can climb ten levels relying solely on his physical body and martial soul."

"If I didn't know him, I'd think some hundred-thousand-year soul beast had taken human form."

Sea Maiden Douluo could not help rolling her eyes at him. "Sea Spear, you've got that wrong. What hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form could be as monstrous as Huang Long?"

Sea Horse Douluo raised a hand to stroke his chin, looking thoughtful. "I remember there's a competition on the mainland called the Soul Master Tournament. Those who can participate are all elite students from mainland soul master academies."

At this point, he looked at Bo Saixi ahead of him and smiled. "High Priest, why don't we let Huang Long take part as well? He can take the wind out of those mainland geniuses' sails!"

But the moment he finished speaking, Bo Saixi turned around and shot him a cold glare.

Sea Horse Douluo gave an awkward laugh, lowered his head, and took a step back.

Seeing this, the other Seven Sacred Pillar Douluos all laughed.
