The original story's timeline...
The Shrek Seven Monsters of Shrek Academy wore looks of utter disbelief.
A Soul Emperor before eighteen-the weight that carried was simply staggering.
"A Soul Emperor before eighteen? How is that possible?"
Oscar clutched his head and cried out in shock.
No matter how heaven-defying someone was, becoming a Soul Emperor before eighteen was impossible. That was too absurd.
He had innate full soul power himself, yet he did not have the heaven-defying talent to become a Soul Emperor before eighteen.
"What this boy said must be false!"
Yu Xiaogang was certain it was false.
A Soul Emperor before eighteen-how was that possible?
This person had to be exaggerating.
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes, inwardly looking down on Yu Xiaogang.
The facts were right there before them. What was there to question?
The Pope's Palace
"A Soul Emperor before eighteen?"
"Just where did this person come from?"
Bibi Dong wanted to know very much. More than that, she desperately wanted to know what method he had used to achieve it. If she could do it too, the improvement to herself would be tremendous.
Spirit Hall Academy
Xie Yue and Hu Liena were both dumbfounded.
"That brat Huai'an is actually a Soul Emperor? Isn't his cultivation usually only at Soul Elder? And what's going on with those Soul Rings?"
Hu Liena's little mouth formed an O, her face full of disbelief.
So he had been hiding his strength all along. How infuriating.
And here I was, spending all that time teaching him, giving him extra lessons every day. It turns out that, in his eyes, it was all a joke. I was the biggest clown of all!
"Nan Huai'an hid himself so deeply that even we couldn't notice."
Xie Yue sighed with feeling.
Hu Liena felt down, but she still realized how serious the problem was:
"Brother, how did he get to another spacetime, and even take our six-year-old teacher as his disciple?"
Xie Yue shook his head:
"Even I can't understand such heaven-reaching abilities. But that Nan Huai'an is definitely the Nan Huai'an we know. We see that face every day!"
The facts proved that Nan Huai'an was the Nan Huai'an they knew. As for the reasons behind everything else, they did not know.
"How about I go ask Teacher?" Hu Liena thought of Bibi Dong. "I think Teacher must be doing very well too."
Xie Yue nodded in agreement. "I think so too. Other than His Holiness the Pope, no one can explain this."
With that, Hu Liena hurried to the Pope's Palace.
The sky screen's timeline...
"As your teacher, I know you're very impressive, but I still have something for you to improve your physique."
Bibi Dong withdrew her Martial Soul, her face full of curiosity. "Teacher, could it be some wonderful treasure?"
She always felt that her teacher had good things.
For him to have cultivated to Soul Emperor before eighteen, his strength must have been formidable.
Grandpa Village Chief had told her that the only people with heaven-defying cultivation talent were the two great Peerless Douluos of the present day: Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen and Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu.
He took out a fist-sized piece of whale rubber. The fist-sized piece lay quietly inside a wooden box, its surface dark, rough, and utterly unremarkable.
"Teacher, what is this?"
Little Bibi Dong's eyes were full of curiosity. She had never seen anything so pitch-black before.
This thing could improve her physique?
To be honest, even given ten thousand times the courage, he would not dare believe it could improve one's physique.
"This is hundred-year whale rubber!"
This was ordinary hundred-year whale rubber. If it were thousand-year whale rubber, Bibi Dong's body probably could not withstand the ravages of such a powerful tonic.
If she swallowed thousand-year whale rubber, the result would be her body bursting and her death.
Once processed, hundred-year whale rubber could be consumed without any trouble.
Bibi Dong nodded, only half understanding.
"But what exactly does it do?"
Nan Huai'an smiled faintly:
"The village chief never told you about this. It's an aphrodisiac and virility-enhancing drug commonly used by nobles across the continent. For instance, some nobles whose bodies aren't up to the task rely on it to restore their manly prowess."
Huh?
Bibi Dong's eyes widened, her cheeks instantly flushing red. Then she sneaked another look at Nan Huai'an's smile.
He certainly is handsome, but why is Teacher giving me this? Am I supposed to eat it?
That aphrodisiac effect isn't something I can resist! Is Teacher doing this on purpose, or is he playing a trick on me?
"What are you staring at?"
Nan Huai'an laughed and swiftly moved to stuff the whale rubber into Bibi Dong's mouth.
"No, Teacher!" Bibi Dong cried out in fear.
Just as it was about to enter her mouth, Nan Huai'an pulled his hand back and laughed:
"I was only teasing you. How could I really make you swallow it?"
Bibi Dong opened her eyes. Realizing that her teacher had been teasing her like this, she stamped her feet in anger:
"Teacher, you're such a big meanie! You can't toy with your disciple like this."
The original story's timeline...
The spectators all began discussing it.
"Brother Nan's methods really are wicked, scaring his own disciple with whale rubber. Why do I get the feeling that he hasn't taken a disciple so much as found himself some entertainment?"
"But can that whale rubber he took out really strengthen someone's physique? He should have some backup method, right? He can't really be planning to make his disciple eat whale rubber, can he?"
One of them said:
"Leaving everything else aside, don't you think His Holiness the Pope looks adorable at six years old, both when she blushes and when she gets angry?"
"My wife is about to have a baby. It would be wonderful if we had boy-girl twins. If my daughter could be as adorable as His Holiness the Pope, my life would be complete."
Everyone burst into laughter.
"In your dreams. Not everyone can have someone as breathtakingly beautiful as His Holiness the Pope."
The Pope's Palace
"That damned bastard actually dared to toy with me like that! Who bullies their disciple this way?"
Bibi Dong was extremely annoyed. She had thought this teacher was really going to show some genuine skill, but he had only been teasing her.
Wait, that's not right.
Why am I getting angry? How did I end up putting myself in her shoes?
"Teacher! Teacher!"
Hu Liena pushed open the palace doors and called loudly from the entrance.
Bibi Dong composed herself a little:
"What is it, Nana?"
Hu Liena ran in, panting:
"Teacher, do you believe in transmigration?"
"Transmigration?" Bibi Dong froze. "What do you mean? Are you trying to say that Nan Huai'an is someone from our Spirit Hall?"
"That's right. Nan Huai'an is from Spirit Hall Academy!"
Hu Liena looked at her teacher's astonished expression. It was just as she had expected.
He had traveled through spacetime, and Nan Huai'an was someone from Spirit Hall Academy.
How was that possible?
Nothing like this had ever happened in the history of the Douluo Continent.
"Nana, are you certain you haven't mistaken him for someone else?"
Bibi Dong sought confirmation again.
"Teacher, there's no mistake. Nan Huai'an is the person I usually chat and cultivate with. How could I mistake him?"
"Nana, I can't explain it either!"
How could she explain this?
Someone from Spirit Hall Academy had gone to a parallel spacetime to take her as his disciple. Who would believe it if she told them?
Most importantly, she had even let the sky screen lead her around by the nose. It was simply too ridiculous.
"Teacher, the most important thing is that Nan Huai'an is usually only a Soul Elder at the academy, not a Soul Emperor!"
