Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 351 Whale Gel Body Refinement

The group arrived at the beach at the foot of Poseidon Mountain and felt the changes in their respective strengths. Huo Wushuang and his sister, Bai Chenxiang, Jin Yue'er, Qingming, and the Qian Gu brothers had previously had a soul power level of 69. After completing the assessment, they received a level 1 soul power reward, and now their soul power has reached level 70. As long as they absorb a soul ring, they can officially advance to the Soul Saint level.

Feng Xiaotian, Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue were level 76 before breaking through the barrier, but now, having received a level 1 Soul Power reward, they have all reached level 77.

It has to be said that the Light of the Sea God can be considered an amazing cultivation paradise. In just one year, everyone relied on the Light of the Sea God to cultivate and increased their soul power by more than ten levels. If the people on the mainland knew about this, they would definitely be drooling with envy.

Shui Bing'er, Jin Ling'er, Zhu Zhuqing and others received richer rewards for their red-level assessments. In addition to first-level soul power and a divinely bestowed soul ring, the overall age of their soul rings was increased by 500 years. Now, everyone's second soul ring has turned purple.

Because Shui Yue'er underwent the Nine Trials of the Sea God, her spirit rings were directly upgraded by 1000 years. Now, all of her spirit rings are at least a thousand years old.

Jin Ling'er's soul rings were originally designed for a thousand years, so a 500-year upgrade wouldn't make much of a difference to her.

"The second spirit ring has reached a thousand years. After completing another test, the first ring will also reach a thousand years."

"Yeah yeah!……"

At this moment, Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and the others revealed their spirit rings, and were very excited as they looked at the changes after their spirit rings were upgraded.

"My spirit rings have been upgraded by 1000 years, which is much better than before."

Shui Yue'er's current soul ring combination is a riot of purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, black, which excites her immensely. Her current soul ring combination is second only to Jin Ling'er and Ye Liangchen.

Ye Liangchen looked at Shui Yue'er's divine test rewards and found that the increase in the age of her spirit rings was actually given out ahead of schedule. In the original story, Tang San's reward was given at the end, a one-time reward of 5 years. If the rewards continued like this, after Shui Yue'er completed the Nine Trials of the Sea God, her spirit ring combination should be seven black, one red, and one gold, with a blue-gold divine ring added at the end.

But it doesn't matter. It's not bad that this girl was able to pass the Nine Trials of the Sea God. Anyway, she's not the main character.

"The age of all your spirit rings has increased. I'm so envious."

Feng Xiaotian, Hu Liena, Huo Wushuang and their group only obtained the Black-level assessment, and their Soul Ring age did not increase. At this moment, looking at Shui Bing'er and the others' Soul Rings, they all showed envious expressions.

"The reward for increasing the age of the Soul Ring is only available for assessments at the Red level or above; it is not available for assessments at the Black level."

Poseidon reminded Feng Xiaotian and the others that there was no use in being envious.

The reason why all the beauties in the Tianshui Girls' Group were able to pass the Red Level assessment was entirely because Ye Liangchen negotiated with the Sea God, which led to their upgrades. Even Feng Xiaotian and his group's assessment of the Sea God's Light was strengthened.

"Great Offering, we understand."

Feng Xiaotian, Hu Liena, and the others also knew that this was all fate. Being able to come to Seagod Island with Ye Liangchen to level up was already quite good.

"Actually, a 500-year increase in the age of a soul ring only looks a little better, and the effect isn't that significant. A 50,000-year increase would be much better."

Jin Ling'er smiled playfully, not caring about the increase in the age of her spirit rings. She started with a thousand-year spirit ring when she first appeared, and her seventh spirit ring was 100,000 years old. Her eighth and ninth spirit rings also had to be 100,000 years old to have any prestige.

"Ling'er, I feel like you're faking it, but we have no proof."

Jin Ling'er's words made Feng Xiaotian and the others feel a pang of jealousy, but they also admired the girl's strength.

"Whoosh..."

At this moment, Poseidon flew into the air, revealed her spirit rings and martial spirit, and mobilized the divine power of Poseidon Mountain to begin setting up the second test.

"What is the High Priest doing?" the crowd asked, somewhat curious.

"If nothing unexpected happens, they are probably setting up the second divine test for everyone."

Yingmei has been spending all her time with Xiaobai practicing the Xuan Tian Gong. The two have become very close, like best friends, and she also knows that Xiaobai is the chief examiner for everyone's second assessment.

"Huff huff..."

In an instant, dark clouds gathered over the entire Poseidon Mountain, giving the impression that a storm was brewing.

"Splash, splash..."

At this moment, Poseidon Mountain burst forth with golden light, and waves surged on the surface of the circular lake. The entire lake began to boil, shimmering with streaks of azure and gold light. The seven sacred pillars of Poseidon, a hundred miles away, simultaneously lit up with seven golden beams, shooting straight into the sky and converging at Poseidon Mountain. They then formed a light curtain that enveloped the entire circular lake.

"This is your second assessment. Here's the setup."

Poseidon slowly descended and explained to Ye Liangchen and his group with a smile.

"Buzzing..."

"The second test is to break through the circular lake and successfully reach the other side without killing any sea spirit beasts."

Shui Bing'er immediately used her mental power to communicate with the red mark on her forehead. In an instant, a red light flashed and shot out from between her eyebrows, forming a row of subtitles that displayed the content of the assessment.

"This is the second assessment? It's way too easy!"

The others were also communicating about the marks between their eyebrows, feeling that this second test was nothing compared to the first.

"Easy? Summon your martial souls and soul rings and see." Ye Liangchen looked at the others, thinking: You'll know how difficult it is when you take the test.

However, Ye Liangchen discovered that his soul rings and soul skills did not seem to be imprisoned. He guessed it was because of the game inside his body that prevented the soul imprint planted by the Sea God from controlling him. But it didn't matter. He had talked to the Sea God before that he would not use his martial soul and skills during the second trial. With his current soul power, he could easily defeat Xiaobai with just the Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Flow, Wind Sword Dance, Ice and Fire Divine Palm, as well as the two peerless sword techniques, Heavenly Flying Immortal and Ten Thousand Plum Blossoms Welcoming the Wind.

"Huh! The seventh spirit ring is gray; it seems unusable."

After summoning their martial souls and soul rings, everyone realized something was wrong; this meant they had far too few skills to use.

"Mine is even worse off. I can't use any of my spirit rings or spirit skills, and I can't even communicate with the Vast Ocean Universe Cover anymore."

Shui Yue'er looked at her seven spirit rings, all of which had turned gray, and immediately felt a headache coming on. She knew that there were many sea spirit beasts in the circular lake, especially the schools of arrowfish, which were all thousand-year-old or ten-thousand-year-old sea spirit beasts.

"No Black-level assessment is ever easy."

"When you break through the blockade of the circular lake, you will also be unable to use flight soul skills and will only be able to pass through the water."

"For the second test, I'll still be the chief examiner, and you'll have to fight me."

Poseidon, Xiaobai, and Yali also laughed and said that Xiaobai was the chief examiner of the second test, but she would definitely have to admit defeat against Ye Liangchen.

"Sister Xiaobai, you are a 100,000-year-old soul beast, which is equivalent to a human titled Douluo-level powerhouse."

"Be gentle..."

Everyone immediately started to play the victim to Xiaobai with smiles, but they weren't worried about anything. After all, with Ye Liangchen around, there probably wouldn't be any major problems.

"Don't worry, I'll go easy on you and make sure you don't die," Xiao Bai chuckled.

"The purpose of the second test is to hone your combat skills. In that case, let's add another exercise. In addition to sparring with Xiaobai in the water, you will also spar with Yingmei on the beach."

Ye Liangchen thought for a moment and realized that these people were just beginners practicing together, which was too monotonous. He decided to have Yingmei also act as an examiner.

"Haha...! That's great." Yingmei was incredibly excited when she heard that she could also be an examiner.

"Ah! We're going to fight Shadow Demon?"

"Master, are you trying to train us to death?"

The thought of Yingmei using a giant tiger to fight sent chills down everyone's spines.

"What are you afraid of? As long as you don't die from training, train like there's no tomorrow. Let Shadow Demon train you so you can improve faster." Ye Liangchen smiled calmly, as if he were a little devil.

"All right!"

"Xiao Chen, isn't that a bit too harsh?"

Poseidon originally thought the second test was difficult enough, but she didn't expect Ye Liangchen to add even more challenges for everyone.

"Don't worry," Ye Liangchen nodded.

"Xiao Chen, since you've arranged it this way, we need to absorb the spirit rings first before proceeding with the second assessment."

Shui Bing'er also knew that Ye Liangchen did this in order to make everyone stronger.

"No need to rush, let's have a meal first to celebrate everyone's completion of the first test. After all, you've been cultivating day and night in the Light of the Sea God, which must have been quite tiring."

"Buzzing..."

At this moment, Ye Liangchen stood up and took out the 80,000-year-old Crimson Flame Demon Dragon and Crimson Feather Eagle from his game backpack, intending to treat everyone to a good meal before starting the second divine trial.

Wow! It's so big!

"There's so much meat, enough to eat for a month."

Everyone was incredibly shocked by the enormous bodies of the two soul beasts. The Crimson Flame Demon Dragon was 30 meters long, and the Crimson Feather Eagle had a wingspan of over 20 meters. Their immense pressure made everyone feel extremely small.

"Slurp..."

"The meat of an 80,000-year-old soul beast should taste pretty good."

Looking at the bodies of the two 80,000-year-old soul beasts, Xiaobai and Yingmei couldn't help but swallow. If these could be made into delicious dishes, it would be incredibly satisfying.

"Sect Master, could you please give us the spirit rings of these two spirit beasts?"

"These two fire-attribute spirit rings are perfect for us."

Now that Huo Wushuang and his sister know that their sect leader possesses the amazing ability to collect soul rings, they begged Ye Liangchen to let them absorb these two top-grade soul rings.

Yan originally wanted to ask Ye Liangchen for one, but seeing that Huo Wushuang and his sister had spoken first, he gave up and decided not to compete. After all, he already had a divinely bestowed soul ring, so it was the same.

"Yes, but you are only Soul Saints now. Do you have the ability to absorb it? You should know that the soul shock generated by an 80,000-year soul ring is very powerful."

"The ten-thousand-year soul rings you absorbed before were all divinely bestowed soul rings, and you haven't yet experienced the soul shock brought by ten-thousand-year soul rings. This Crimson Flame Demon Dragon is as old as 85000 years, and the Crimson Feather Eagle is even older at 87000 years. The energy impact brought by the soul rings is enormous, second only to a hundred-thousand-year soul ring."

"Whoosh..."

"Feel the energy impact of these two spirit rings and see if you can withstand it."

Ye Liangchen nodded, then took out the two spirit rings and let everyone feel them.

"Swish..."

In an instant, the two orbs of energy transformed into two dark soul rings, filled with powerful energy.

"These two spirit rings are fine as the ninth spirit ring."

Yali walked over to feel the powerful energy fluctuations in the two black spirit rings, second only to her own 9-year ninth spirit ring.

"I suggest you two siblings wait until you reach level 80 before considering absorbing it."

Poseidon used his mental power to sense the strength of the two spirit rings and felt that the brother and sister might not be able to withstand it now, after all, they were not prodigies like Ye Liangchen and Jin Ling'er.

"Wushuang, Huowu, what do you think? If it's not feasible, then there's no need to take the risk."

Upon hearing Poseidon's words, Feng Xiaotian quickly advised Huo Wushuang and his sister not to act impulsively.

"That's right! Safety first," others chimed in.

"Brother, I'm not sure right now. The energy impact of these two spirit rings is too great. My sixth spirit ring is only 40000 years old."

"Let's wait until level 80 to absorb it! Master, please store it for us first!"

The Huo siblings also felt the power of these two spirit rings; with their Soul Saint level strength alone, they simply couldn't withstand them.

"No problem," Ye Liangchen nodded, then put the two soul rings into his game inventory.

"Xiao Chen, two months ago you had Second Sister Zhu Qing and Xiao Li absorb spirit rings beyond their age limit. What method did you use?"

"My sister and I are aiming for 100,000 years in the eighth ring. You'd better think of a way to help us."

Shui Bing'er and her sister shared their thoughts with Ye Liangchen. Although both sisters had soul bones that enhanced them, and they should be able to withstand absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring, they still wanted to be on the safe side.

"That's right! And what about us? The eighth ring will take another 100,000 years."

Xue Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Yu Hairou, and others were also eager to try. As members of the Tianshui Girls' Group, none of them wanted to fall behind.

"Brother Ye, it's up to you now."

Although Jin Ling'er can now easily absorb a 100,000-year soul ring, she also wants to absorb one that is more than 100,000 years old, which would be even more satisfying.

"Sect Leader, we want some too!" Feng Xiaotian, Hu Liena, and their group were also eager to try.

"Pfft...!"

Poseidon and Shadow Phantom watched as these people all wanted to try it, and they could imagine how funny they would look after taking the whale gel.

"Grand Elder? How did Xiaoli and the others absorb spirit rings that exceeded their lifespan?"

Xiao Bai asked curiously. Regarding Zhu Zhulin and the three little girls being able to absorb soul rings across age limits, everyone only knew that it was Ye Liangchen's doing, but no one knew the specifics.

"Sister Xiaobai, don't ask anymore."

Zhu Zhulin, Xiaoli, and the other two girls blushed instantly and quickly stopped Xiaobai's curiosity. They were too embarrassed to recall the embarrassing incident that happened after they drank that bowl of elixir.

"Actually, it's nothing much, just whale glue and some auxiliary medicinal herbs boiled together."

Ye Liangchen smiled calmly, giving everyone a big surprise.

"Ah! It's whale glue?"

"That kind of thing can really build up your body?"

Upon hearing the term "whale glue," everyone's minds went blank. As everyone knows, whale glue is a medicine used to treat male impotence.

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing came from the Xingluo royal family and knew the effects of this medicine all too well. At this moment, the two sisters looked at their own sister and thought: Could it be that she...?

"Whale glue is a medicine used to treat male impotence, and you actually let Xiaoli and the others eat that kind of stuff?"

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er grabbed Ye Liangchen's ears, feeling that this little guy was too naughty.

"You've all misunderstood the young master. When we ate the whale jelly, we were indeed burning with heat all over our bodies, but the young master just taught us to recite the Ice Heart Mantra a few times, and he quickly suppressed our evil fire."

"After that, our strength increased significantly, which enabled us to absorb spirit rings that exceeded the age limit."

At this moment, Zhu Zhulin and Xiao Li stepped forward to explain, so as to prevent everyone from misunderstanding Ye Liangchen.

"So that's how it is." Everyone suddenly realized.

"We've all forgotten that Little Chen also has the Ice Heart Technique."

Shui Bing'er, Shui Wu, and the others slapped their foreheads, immediately remembering that the little guy also possessed the magical Ice Heart Technique, which would suppress his restless heart, making it no problem at all.

"While others see whale glue as an aphrodisiac, in the eyes of a professional alchemist like myself, it is a true treasure. Whale glue contains a fiery energy, and with the aid of my medicinal herbs, it becomes a precious medicine for strengthening the body."

"Sister Li, could you please go to the cities where Hailong Douluo and his group live and get some top-quality ten-thousand-year-old whale glue?"

Ye Liangchen explained the function of whale glue in a serious manner, and then instructed Yali to get some whale glue. Since everyone wanted to experience it, let them try it.

"No problem, I'll go right away." Yali immediately flew out of the ring sea and sped towards Hailong City.

"You two carry these two big guys back, stew several big pots of meat, and have a good meal."

Ye Liangchen gestured for Feng Xiaotian and his group to get to work quickly, as there was still a lot to do.

"Yes, Master."

The group hurriedly lifted the two enormous soul beasts and headed towards the manor. Then they started boiling water in a pot and began cooking a feast.

Yali acted quickly, and in less than an hour, she had obtained twenty pieces of top-quality ten-thousand-year-old whale glue for Ye Liangchen.

"Sister Li, when you went to get this, did those people misunderstand you?"

Ye Liangchen chuckled as he put away the whale glue, adding a casual remark as he did so.

"There must have been a misunderstanding! I had no choice but to say that I used it to make medicine for you."

Yali glanced at Ye Liangchen with a charming and elegant look. She thought about how she had gone to those cities to collect such things and how she was always looked at with strange eyes by those people. She found it a little funny when she thought about it.

……

After enjoying the delicious meal, Ye Liangchen took out the alchemy cauldron, added some auxiliary spiritual herbs, and began to boil whale glue.

This substance, after being dried by the island's fishermen, is extremely hard. However, after being boiled by Ye Liangchen's extreme fire, it quickly melts and mixes with the spiritual medicine into a liquid.

"It's hard to imagine that this thing is a treasure in the hands of the Pavilion Master."

The crowd gathered around, watching intently as Ye Liangchen prepared the whale glue, eagerly anticipating its effects.

"Everyone come over here, each of you take a bowl and put some in."

After Ye Liangchen finished, he told everyone to quickly get the medicine so that they could experience the feeling of being tempered by evil fire.

"Sect Master, what will happen to us after we eat this?" Feng Xiaotian asked curiously.

"After you consume it, you will be consumed by lustful desires. If you don't use the Ice Heart Technique to suppress your restless hearts, you'll probably be moaning uncontrollably for about an hour!"

Ye Liangchen explained to everyone, since Zhu Zhulin and Xiao Li had been in that state before.

"Screaming for an hour?"

Feng Xiaotian, Xie Yue, and the others were stunned by Ye Liangchen's words. How embarrassing was that?

"Ha ha…!"

"Little Chen, you're so naughty!"

Shuiyue'er, Xuewu, Yu Hairou and the others burst into laughter, feeling that Ye Liangchen was deliberately playing a prank on them.

"Stop laughing, everyone. After taking the medicine, you all need to hold it in, otherwise you'll lose the body-refining effect."

"After you take this medicine, immediately circulate your internal energy to absorb its power for better results. As high-level Soul Masters, if you can't even resist that little bit of hot energy, then all your years of cultivation have been in vain."

Ye Liangchen filled the medicine bottles for everyone and solemnly instructed them to make the most of the opportunity, since there wasn't much of the best ten-thousand-year-old whale glue available.

"Yes, Master."

"Brothers, let's go over there."

Feng Xiaotian, Xie Yue, Huo Wushuang, Qingming, Yan, and the Qian Gu brothers, a group of boys, took the medicine and immediately ran to a small grove by the lake in the distance to avoid an awkward situation later.

"Ugh...! It's so hot!"

"Just as the sect leader said, I'm consumed by evil fire!"

"Stop yelling, everyone. If the sect leader and the others hear you, they'll laugh themselves to death."

"Hahaha……!"

Before long, the howling of Feng Xiaotian and his group came from the grove by the lake. At this moment, everyone finally knew what it meant to be consumed by evil fire.

"Pfft...!" The women found it hilarious to hear the howling coming from the grove of trees in the distance.

"Xiao Chen, we're going to take it in your yard. You have to keep watch for us."

Shui Bing'er led the women to Ye Liangchen's courtyard to take the medicine.

This time, Ye Liangchen boiled all the whale glue, and the quantity was very large. Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhulin, and Xiaoli also had a share.

"This energy is really powerful! Just as Xiao Chen said, oh oh..."

"Little Chen, my sister's overflowing is a disaster! Come quick and save the day..."

"Little Chen, my sister is on fire! Come quickly and put it out..."

"Hahaha...! You guys are exaggerating too much!"

After drinking the potion, Shui Yue'er, Yu Hairou, Xue Wu, and the other female fans immediately started making exaggerated moans and various movements, which made the other girls laugh.

"Stop yelling, hurry up and absorb the energy in the medicine, otherwise you won't achieve the desired body-strengthening effect. Yingmei and I will keep watch outside for you."

Ye Liangchen, who was guarding outside, used his divine sense to check on the women's current situation and found that they were all blushing. In particular, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, and Yu Hairou were even more exaggerated, having taken off their equipment and preparing to play games with each other. They were really out of line. So he had to remind the women not to waste the opportunity.

"Pfft...! Master, they did it on purpose." Shadowy smiled charmingly, finding it particularly amusing.

"Shadow Demon, get to work."

"Yes, Master."

"Buzzing..."

Ye Liangchen and Ye Liangchen waved their hands, directly using their soul power to envelop the entire courtyard, forming a protective shield to prevent Shui Yue'er and the others' cries from being heard.
