Seeing how many resources her junior brother had, Bibi Dong couldn't help jumping up.
"Teacher, teacher, what about me?"
Qian Xunji gently flicked Bibi Dong on the forehead and said,
"I had Yue Guan refine the Whale Rubber using Chuan'er's method."
"This is a piece of Thousand Year Whale Rubber. To be safe, we'll split it in two."
"Chuan'er, Dong'er, each of you will absorb half, then absorb Whale Rubber from older whales. We'll improve step by step, so nothing goes wrong."
Hearing that,
Lin Chuan nodded.
Bibi Dong also huffed.
She looked at Lin Chuan as though shooting a bolt of lightning at him, seemingly intent on outperforming him.
The two began refining their halves of the Thousand Year Whale Rubber.
After swallowing the Whale Rubber, Lin Chuan felt a scorching current flow through his body, coursing through his meridians and all four limbs.
Although the power was overbearing, it didn't harm his body. On the contrary, it was quite beneficial.
He couldn't help thinking, If I'd swallowed a whole piece of Whale Rubber back then, I probably would have suffered.
Splitting it in two makes it better suited to my current stage.
The Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue will probably have to wait until my constitution improves further.
I'll probably have to wait until after I absorb my second Soul Ring.
After all, in Douluo II, Huo Yuhao only absorbed Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue when he was over level twenty.
And compared to the cheats Huo Yuhao had early on, I don't even have as many cheats as he did.
But he was confident.
He was building up strength for a spectacular breakthrough, and he didn't have to be at anyone's mercy.
The price of being a child of destiny had long been marked in secret.
After absorbing it, he felt that his body had grown much stronger.
If he absorbed some more Whale Rubber from whales several thousand years old and took some herbs as well, he should be able to challenge a Soul Ring over a thousand years old for his second Soul Ring.
His requirements weren't high. To be safe, a thousand years would be enough as a baseline.
For him, playing it safe came first.
Bibi Dong, beside him, had also built up strength for a breakthrough.
She had been stuck at level seventeen for three months.
Now she broke straight through to level eighteen, leaving her very excited.
Radiant with excitement, Bibi Dong looked at Lin Chuan and said,
"Second Junior Brother, you'd better work hard to catch up to your senior sister."
Seeing how pleased Bibi Dong was with herself, Qian Xunji rubbed her little cheek.
"Maybe once Chuan'er has treated all the disciples, he'll catch right up to you."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression turned a little bitter.
Oh no, I forgot that Second Junior Brother normally cultivates slowly and relies entirely on the Power of Faith.
How am I supposed to beat someone using cheats?
A smile appeared on Qian Daoliu's face.
With a few little ones around him, he felt years younger.
Looking at the harmonious scene, Qian Xunji couldn't help thinking,
As long as he doesn't nag me to get married, I can still get along with Dad! Sure enough, Dad is the culprit!
Once Lin Chuan had recovered his Soul Power, Qian Xunji took him straight to Spirit Hall's training grounds.
The training grounds were even more impressive than the ones at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's awakening ceremony.
Many disciples were sparring in preparation for the Clear Sky Sect's visit to compete with them.
To them, Spirit Hall's honor mattered more than anything.
Two people would be the main fighters against Tang Hao this time.
One was named Jin Kuang. He had inherited the Golden Crocodile Martial Soul, which was matchlessly overbearing, and had already reached the Soul Elder realm.
The other was named Qiangu Feiyun. He had inherited the Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul and was about to advance to Soul Elder.
Qiangu Feiyun was also going to absorb Whale Rubber to secure a Soul Ring of a greater age.
Of the younger generation, these two were the most likely to defeat Tang Hao.
Jin Kuang and Qiangu Feiyun were very curious when they saw the Pope bring Lin Chuan over.
Not just Jin Kuang and Qiangu Feiyun-there wasn't a person in Spirit Hall who wasn't curious about Lin Chuan.
He had the legendary Angel Martial Soul, the Wishing Angel Martial Soul.
He also had Innate Full Soul Power, and most importantly, he was a healing-type Soul Master.
Even in Spirit Hall, healing-type Soul Masters were extremely valuable!
For Soul Masters like them, who fought often, having a healing-type Soul Master like him backing them meant they could fight without holding anything back.
Otherwise, if they suffered a crippling injury, their future prospects would be affected.
At that moment, Qian Xunji smiled and said, "Chuan'er will treat the injuries you've suffered today."
Although Jin Kuang and Qiangu Feiyun were quite unruly, they wanted to build a good relationship with the Pope's disciple, who was also a rare healing-type Soul Master.
Jin Kuang said,
"Little Brother Lin Chuan, if you have any problems in the future, come to us for help."
"Anyone who dares bully you will be making an enemy of us."
Qiangu Feiyun also patted his chest, indicating that he felt the same.
Lin Chuan smiled and nodded.
"Then thank you, seniors."
"Let me treat you first."
He could tell at a glance that the two had suffered plenty of bruises and contusions from sparring. Some places had even been split open and were bleeding.
He summoned the Wishing Angel Martial Soul and treated them both at once.
As the rainbow-colored ribbons of light fell upon Qiangu Feiyun and Jin Kuang, they both felt an itch spread over their bodies, which was very comfortable.
Delight appeared on Jin Kuang's face.
This healing is incredible!
His first Soul Skill alone can do this? It feels like it could even rival another Soul Master's third Soul Skill.
Lately, he had been afraid of training too hard and affecting the upcoming contest with the Clear Sky Sect.
With Lin Chuan backing him, he could train without holding back.
Qiangu Feiyun thought the same.
Once they were healed, the two returned to the training grounds.
Watching them behave like battle maniacs, Qian Xunji shook her head.
They were exactly like their fathers and grandfathers.
Lin Chuan asked in puzzlement,
"Teacher, you don't seem confident about their upcoming fight."
"But both seniors are quite strong. Why is that?"
He had absorbed quite a lot of Power of Faith from Qiangu Feiyun and Jin Kuang. In his view, both of them had excellent aptitude.
Qian Xunji said softly,
"Just like you, Chuan'er."
"There are always some people in this world who are called geniuses."
"Someone like Tang Hao is a genius born to fight."
"Feiyun and Jin Kuang are strong, but they still fall a little short compared to Tang Hao."
"Even so, this contest will be immensely rewarding for them, even if they lose."
Lin Chuan nodded.
He still had no clear idea of Tang Hao's true strength at present. It seemed Tang Hao was far more of a threat than he had estimated.
After Lin Chuan rested for a while, the many disciples from the other training grounds lined up to wait for his treatment.
After all, he was the Pope's disciple.
Perhaps they would have to rely on Lin Chuan for their livelihood in the future.
And most importantly, if they really did get injured someday, what would they do if Lin Chuan didn't know them at all?
Lin Chuan spent the entire day either recovering his Soul Power or treating people, leaving him utterly exhausted.
He was tired, but his gains were also quite evident.
