"Is that so?" Xue Qinghe's tone was slightly mocking, "Isn't it because he became the first person to discover the effects of whale glue? Are you jealous because you discovered it earlier than him?"
Over the past six years, Xue Qinghe had also learned about Wang Chen's temper. Although he was obedient on the surface, he had an inexplicable arrogance, as if he looked down on everyone.
Normal civilian children, especially those from small villages, would never behave like this. Instead, they would be cautious and respectful. Even if they possessed innate full soul power, they wouldn't be so arrogant.
Moreover, this Wang Chen was extremely jealous. He almost didn't allow other children of the same age to refute him. Even if other children excelled in one aspect, he would do whatever it took to surpass them, using this to show his worth in front of her. He had a very strong purpose.
Just like how she disguised herself as Xue Qinghe.
However, this didn't make her sympathize with Wang Chen. Instead, she maintained a subtle vigilance towards him.
Bad people also hoped that the people around them were good people.
However,
This was also one of the reasons why she kept Wang Chen by her side. He reminded her of a familiar figure, and at least on the surface, he had been "tamed" by her. He was very obedient and useful.
Even if he had different thoughts, he would express them. However, as long as she gave the order, he would absolutely not refute her again.
Seeing that Wang Chen was silent, Xue Qinghe said, "Go down and cultivate properly. Your soul power is already at level 27. Try to break through to level 30 before you turn thirteen. Now that everyone knows the effects of whale glue, you should try to withstand three thousand years when you get your third soul ring, right?"
"Young master, can you bestow upon me a piece of ten-thousand-year whale glue? I want to try to withstand ten thousand years for my third soul ring." Wang Chen asked respectfully.
"The value of whale glue has already been made public. Ten-thousand-year whale glue has a slight effect on Titled Douluo below level 95. You're just someone with innate full soul power who hasn't made any contributions. What qualifications do you have to enjoy it?" Xue Qinghe asked a question that Wang Chen couldn't answer at the moment, "Also, didn't you say that after you consumed a piece of thousand-year whale glue, your second soul ring could withstand the thousand-year level?"
"But what was the result?"
"You failed to absorb it. If it weren't for my angel martial soul, which is a god-level martial soul, forcibly severing the connection between you and that thousand-year soul ring, you would have already been dead. You're lucky that you can continue cultivating and find a soul ring close to nine hundred years."
Compared to Wang Chen's "stumbling upon" the effects of whale glue, Xue Qinghe believed Tang San more. After all, his research on whale glue was thorough. Apart from the fact that he didn't mention the hundred-year whale glue because he couldn't find it, he gave a rough range of the effects of the thousand-year whale glue, ten-thousand-year whale glue, and ordinary whale glue, as well as how much to consume and how much it could improve the human body.
Unlike Wang Chen, who only said that whale glue could improve one's physical fitness and then stopped. He didn't say how many grams to consume, how much it could improve, and whether the effects would be the same for people of different ages.
Wang Chen couldn't say anything about these things, but Tang San gave a rough range of results, proving that after he discovered the effects of whale glue, he didn't immediately get too excited. Instead, he seriously studied the improvement effects of different whale glues, different dosages, and different methods on soul masters of different age groups.
Although the final result data was still somewhat abstract and the range was not that accurate, at least it allowed later generations to better judge how much they had improved after consuming whale glue.
This could also provide great help for the research of later generations.
Hearing Qian Renxue say this, Wang Chen fell silent. He realized that he wasn't that important in Qian Renxue's eyes. Perhaps in her mind, he, who had innate full soul power, would at most be a Titled Douluo in the future. However, with the support of the Spirit Hall, she would only need to become a god in the future, and all the Titled Douluo in the Spirit Hall would be at her disposal.
For a genius like him, other major forces might try their best to win him over, but to Qian Renxue, a mere Titled Douluo wasn't worth losing too much face. There were more than enough Titled Douluo in the Spirit Hall. In the future, adding one more of him would only be the icing on the cake.
Moreover, he had already caught Qian Renxue's eye. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he couldn't betray her, or else he would have to go into hiding.
After Wang Chen left, a middle-aged man appeared behind Xue Qinghe and handed her a letter. He said, "This is the news about Tang San from the Great Enshrinement of Martial Souls in Spirit City. His innate soul power is only level six, and his martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. However, his first soul ring was an over-level absorption. It was a five-hundred-year-old Thousand-Year-Old-Cypress. At that time, he probably hadn't consumed whale glue. His second soul ring should be the over-limit soul ring he absorbed after consuming whale glue. According to the intelligence from the hall master of the Nuoding City branch hall, it's at the thousand-year level. If that Spirit hall master didn't misjudge the depth of the color, then that soul ring is very likely to be close to two thousand years."
Xue Qinghe's pupils constricted sharply. She sighed and said, "Seven years old, second soul ring a thousand years, and it's close to two thousand years. A mere Blue Silver Grass martial soul is even more dazzling than my angel martial soul. It's really amazing. Is there a chance of subduing such a talent?"
The middle-aged man shook his head. "The Pope didn't forcibly order someone to bring him to Spirit City. According to Ma Xiunuo, that child has his own ideas and doesn't want to be restricted by the Spirit Hall's education, which would make him fade into obscurity."
"This situation is a bit like Wang Chen at the beginning." Xue Qinghe thought of Wang Chen and then shook her head. "It's still different. Wang Chen would keep good things to himself first. Even if he verified that they were effective, he wouldn't publicize them. His heart isn't as broad as Tang San's."
"Young master, there's one more thing." The middle-aged man continued, "Our spies in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan have news. That child from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan with the external martial soul lost to Tang San while helping Ning Rongrong hunt for a soul. He also said something very arrogant to that Mu Tian."
"What did he say?" Xue Qinghe became curious.
"Those who lose to me will never be considered my opponents. I'll give you time to catch up until you can't see me." The middle-aged man said this with a strange expression.
Xue Qinghe's eyes lit up when she heard this. She looked at Tang San's portrait in the intelligence from the Spirit Hall and imagined how elegant a young man would be if he said such words to the loser.
On the continent, when civilian soul masters encountered an opponent in the wild and defeated them, they would usually try their best to eliminate them to avoid trouble in the future.
However, Tang San was actually able to say such words. It showed how confident he was!
She couldn't help but want to meet him.
"Young master, I think he might just be bragging or stalling for time. After all, there were other members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan present at the time." The middle-aged man reminded her.
"He's brave and resourceful. That's even better." After Xue Qinghe had a first impression of Tang San and formed a preconceived notion, she could think of suitable reasons to explain others' nitpicking. Moreover, under the watchful eyes of nearly thirty soul masters from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, he was still able to not give Mu Tian any face and say such words afterward. Wasn't this also a kind of humor and arrogance?
In Xue Qinghe's opinion, Tang San's ability to talk and laugh with the other members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan after defeating Mu Tian was even more remarkable.
It would be more fulfilling to subdue such a talent!
Tang San!
"You will definitely be mine!"
For an extremely talented person, Qian Renxue, who was also a genius, would instinctively develop a favorable impression. Moreover, people who lacked love were always relatively empty inside.
