Chapter 23: Ten Thousand Years-Old Whale Glue vs. Bibi Dong!
Additionally, since Hu Bai's second soul ring can now withstand a three-thousand-year cultivation, the quality requirements for whale rubber are even higher. She hopes that the offerings in the Worship Hall won't just stay stored there—they're starting to get rusty.
It would be better to go to the sea and hunt a ten-thousand-year-old whale soul beast. The whale rubber produced by one such beast should be enough for a significant period.
After all, whale rubber has some side effects and cannot be eaten in large chunks all at once.
At first, Qian Daoliu was a bit hesitant, but Bibi Dong's next sentence made him completely agree.
Even if it's not for Hu Bai, it should be for Qian Renxue, right?
Of course, Bibi Dong didn't say this aloud in front of Qian Renxue but transmitted it directly to Qian Daoliu.
To be honest, this truly shocked Qian Daoliu. Was this still Bibi Dong?
He could tell she wasn't faking it.
Afterward, Qian Daoliu first took Qian Renxue away. Before she left, she said, "Xiao Bai, I'll be waiting for you in the Worship Hall."
Once they left, Bibi Dong took out three boxes from her soul guidance device, held them up with her soul power, and floated them in front of the three of them.
"Open them and take a look."
When the three opened the boxes, they revealed pieces of extremely high-quality whale rubber!
Xie Yue's and Hu Bai's appeared to be ten-thousand-year-old, while Hu Liena's was five-thousand-year-old.
"Take this whale rubber back with you and consume a fixed amount every day. That should be enough for this stage of cultivation."
The three were very pleasantly surprised. Although their families had whale rubber, none of them had a ten-thousand-year quality. This level of whale rubber was very scarce.
After they stored the boxes away, Bibi Dong also stepped down. Before beginning their training, she first wanted to assess the current strength of the three.
"Come, you three. Starting with Xie Yue, attack me one by one with full force," she said indifferently.
The three understood that the training had begun. Xie Yue released his Martial Soul, Moon Blade, and two soul rings—one yellow and one purple—appeared on his body. Following Xie Tian's example, the two soul rings granted him abilities called Slash and Defend.
Xie Yue knew his attack probably wouldn't cause much damage to Bibi Dong, so he would use his full strength from the start!
The two soul rings rose simultaneously, sharpening the offensive power of the Moon Blade. Xie Yue tapped the ground with his toe, activating his self-created Soul Skill, Full Moon, and slashed directly at Bibi Dong!
Unlike in the original, this self-created Soul Skill was learned from Xie Tian and was currently his strongest offensive move!
Bibi Dong did not summon her Martial Soul but imbued her Pope's Scepter with soul power, making it tougher. It directly collided with Xie Yue's two Moon Blades.
She carefully felt the power of this strike. An ordinary Soul Elder would probably be severely injured upon encountering it. Not bad.
Xie Yue saw that his Full Moon was easily blocked and didn't get discouraged. He adjusted his posture, lowered his center of gravity, bent at the waist, and, while one Moon Blade blocked the Pope's Scepter, the other Moon Blade, with an extremely strange maneuver, sliced toward Bibi Dong's lower body!
Bibi Dong's mouth curved slightly. Although Xie Yue was only eight years old, his combat experience was now quite rich. He knew how to adapt, and more importantly, after one failed attack, he promptly launched the next.
Bibi Dong blocked Xie Yue's attack with her Pope's Scepter again. This time, he had no third chance and was pushed back by her, caught steadily by Hu Bai behind him.
"Not bad. Your attack is very sharp, and your self-created Soul Skill, Full Moon, is also very strong. But it has a weakness: your speed isn't fast enough. Although you're currently positioned as an attack-type Soul Master, your Martial Soul is light and agile. If your speed could improve even a little, your strength would be greater."
"So, your future task is to create another Soul Skill while increasing your soul power, and also practice your offensive movement techniques more."
"Yes, thank you, Teacher," Xie Yue said, putting away his Martial Soul and expressing his gratitude.
His two soul rings, like Hu Bai's, did not grant him any Martial Soul abilities but directly enhanced his Moon Blade, increasing its strength, toughness, and so on.
Currently, he had only learned this one move, Full Moon, from his father.
His attack methods were relatively simple, focusing on ending battles quickly by relying on the sharpness of the Moon Blade.
Next, Hu Bai.
Hu Bai stepped forward, releasing his Nine-Tailed Sky Fox Martial Soul, and his expression was serious. With his current abilities, he could cause little damage to Bibi Dong, a Super Douluo. He would do his best.
Sky Fox Domain!
First Soul Skill, Lightning Element Control! The power of the lightning attribute increased by 100%!
Under the effect of the Sky Fox Domain, the power of all elements increased by an additional 20%, and the elements within the Domain became more active.
To catch her off guard, a single-element attack wouldn't suffice. All he could do now was condense various elemental balls, but such an attack would be useless against Bibi Dong.
"Begin," Bibi Dong said indifferently, her eyes full of curiosity. Would Hu Bai surprise her?
Forest of Lightning!
Hu Bai first released a lightning field, covering Bibi Dong. However, Bibi Dong, inside the field, showed no signs of being affected—her expression remained calm, even though the lightning element had been amplified by 120%.
Now, Hu Bai had an idea: if a single element wasn't enough, then combine multiple elements!
Before that, he needed to influence Bibi Dong's perception as much as possible.
Three-Eyed Demon Fox External Soul Bone, Vertical Eye ability activated!
All attributes increased by 50%, and mental power increased by 200%!
A silver-white vertical eye appeared in the center of Hu Bai's forehead, releasing a mental shock along with a faint pink mist.
Facing this mental attack, Bibi Dong's mouth curved slightly. She didn't react outwardly but formed a protective layer in her Spiritual Sea.
Although the ten-thousand-year Soul Bone was powerful, with Hu Bai's current cultivation, he could only unleash about 30% of its true power. That was already quite impressive.
Hu Bai's actions weren't over. His second soul ring rose—Light Element Control, increasing light attribute power by 200%!
He simultaneously mobilized all active light elements within the Domain to form flash balls, which condensed around Bibi Dong and exploded!
Bang!
The explosion echoed throughout the Supreme Pontiff Palace. Hu Liena and Xie Yue instinctively closed their eyes, covering them with their hands. Even with their eyes closed, the intense light still affected them!
