Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 3 Whale glue, the first lesson of life

The couple looked at each other, their surprise not concealed at all.

The true ancestors of the Shu family have been famous on the mainland since ten thousand years ago. After the founding of Douling, their lineage not only did not gradually withdraw from the stage of history with the passage of time, but became more and more prosperous.

Even the family inherited martial spirit Ya Zi has gradually appeared in more than one variant version over the long years. For example, the Black Flame Dragon martial spirit possessed by Shu Junlin is the best among them.

Although the Black Flame Dragon's dark attribute is weaker than that of Jiaozi, it has inherited the pure true dragon bloodline from Jiaozi. It has also gained the ability to control the dark fire based on its dark attribute. It is an extremely special and rare true dragon, and only the Shu family has inherited it in the entire continent.

Compared to the balanced Jiaozi spirit, the Black Flame Dragon spirit places a greater emphasis on attack. Once a spirit master is infected with the Dark Fire, unless the opponent's cultivation is far superior, even a spirit master with ice or water attributes will find it extremely difficult to suppress and eliminate it. Not to mention the terrifying explosive burning power of the Dark Fire itself, which is beyond the ability of ordinary people to withstand.

Needless to say, Yu Bingyan's angel spirit originated from the Spirit Hall, which has been lost in the long river of history.

Her ancestors were from the angel army that once served the six-winged angels who were in power in the Spirit Hall.

After the War of Gods, the Spirit Hall was destroyed, but there were still many survivors of the Angel Legion. The angel spirits circulating on the continent today are basically their descendants.

Compared to the couple's surprise and relief, Shu Yan didn't think too much about it.

He concentrated on sensing his martial soul, especially the subtle yet powerful force, but unfortunately, he found that he could only barely mobilize that power, and even the most basic control was extremely difficult to achieve.

But he was not discouraged. He could feel that as long as his mental strength continued to increase, his control over this power would become higher.

Shu Junyou and Yu Bingyan did not continue to stay in surprise. The former patted Shu Yan's shoulder gently and then said softly:
"In addition to the original dark attribute, it has also gained an extremely rare and powerful spatial attribute. This is undoubtedly a top-level benign mutation."

"Ayan, you've been precocious since childhood, and your mind is much more mature than your peers. I believe you have your own sense of propriety in many things. Your mother and I won't give you too many instructions. After all, we've said these things to you more than once, and I believe you know what's going on."

"However, your martial spirit has mutated, so the plan we had for your first spirit ring has been abandoned. Obtaining your first spirit ring will need to be postponed for a few days. Before that, please refine this piece of whale glue. I also need to send a message to your grandfather. I'm sure he will be very happy to hear this news."

As he spoke, Shu Junyou took out a piece of thousand-year-old whale glue from his storage soul guide. It was golden and transparent, like golden crystal, and then handed it to Shu Yan.

Shu Yan took the piece of whale glue and lowered his hand. He estimated the weight, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"Eat it all?"

Shu Junyou looked at Shu Yan with a hint of sympathy, then nodded.

"Eat it all."

Yu Bingyan also seemed to recall some bad memories, and said with a slight tilt of her head:
"Come on, brat. Your father still has to worry about your first spirit ring. I'm here to help you refine this thing."

Shu Yan looked at the large golden lump in his hand, resisted the urge to run away, and finally slowly caught up with Yu Bingyan's pace.

……

It was approaching dusk.

Shu Yan slumped on the ground, his face pale. Yu Bingyan sighed softly, slowly retracted the golden soul power in her hand, glanced at Shu Yan, and said softly:

"This whale glue... apart from being a little disgusting at first, it actually tastes quite good. Of course, this piece of whale glue from the Millennium Demon Whale is enough to increase your soul ring absorption limit by nearly 500 years. Combined with the body training and tempering you've done in the past few years, theoretically, your first soul ring can completely absorb a Millennium Soul Ring."

Yu Bingyan's words were quite true. Wasn't it that all the preparations made over the past few years at such a great cost were made just to allow Shu Yan to have an absolute advantage over his peers in the first step of cultivation?

After all, this wasn't just the Shu family's decision; it involved something deeper...

"I just used my sacred soul power to purify the excess yang energy in your body, but at the same time, most of your soul power was also purified and disappeared. It's normal to feel weak and dizzy. Get a good night's sleep, and everything will be back to normal tomorrow."

Yu Bingyan then added another sentence before standing up and preparing to leave.

Shu Yan replied weakly. Switching back and forth between heaven and hell was a torment to his will. The intense stench made him nauseous at the mere thought of that sticky substance. Even though it would soon become delicious, it wasn't enough to offset the stench. As Yu Bingyan closed the door and left, Shu Yan didn't bother to care anymore. He threw his head back and fell directly onto the soft carpeted floor. Not long after, he fell into a deep sleep...

……

Early the next morning.

Shu Yan woke up from his sleep and found...

Well, I'm still lying there.

Shu Yan supported himself on the carpet and stood up. After he stood up and stretched his body a little, a crackling sound was heard.

He only had one feeling about his current state, which was that he felt refreshed and as if he had been reborn.

Pushing open the door, a woman in a black dress was standing in the yard waiting. Shu Yan stretched his neck and asked casually:
"Aunt Yun, what's wrong?"

The woman in the black dress had a gentle smile on her face, her posture was dignified and proper, and her voice had a reassuring, warm and gentle feeling.

"Young Master, Madam said that she still has something to teach you before you obtain your first spirit ring."

Shu Yan laughed in silence, then said:
"I understand. Aunt Yun, you go back first. I'll take a shower and then go over there myself."

Gu Yun bowed gently but gracefully, then swayed as she left Shu Yan's small courtyard.

Shu Yan had a very good impression of his mother's confidant. The other party was talented and had a good sense of propriety in dealing with people. He was always loved by the family.

Speaking of which, Shu Junyou and Yu Bingyan have always adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards Shu Yan. When he was young, it was Gu Yun who took care of his daily life. After a few years of getting along, the relationship between the two is very good.

……

The warm water felt very comfortable on his body, but Shu Yan didn't enjoy it too much. After a simple rinse, he walked along the corridor towards the hall.

Although there is no rain today, the weather is still gloomy. Large dark clouds are condensing and rolling. Faintly, you can hear the whistling sound of wind in the distance. This is a sign of the coming heavy rain, and it feels like a storm is about to come.

Gu Yun had been waiting at the main entrance of the hall for a long time. When she saw Shu Yan, she smiled again, but she did not take Shu Yan into the hall. Instead, she walked towards the depths of the manor.

This manor is the ancestral home of the Shu family. In the past, Shu Yan would only come here to stay for a while during the annual ancestor worship ceremony, so he is not as familiar with this place as he is with the Shu family's manor in Lingdou City.

Walking along the path, you will see low walls built with bluestone all around. Over the years, the surface of these bluestones is covered with moss and emerald green ivy, giving it a secluded feel.

Gu Yun didn't stop until they came to a slightly dilapidated ruin, then stepped aside to let Shu Yan pass.

Shu Yan frowned slightly. In the past few years, he had been tempering not only his body, but also his perception and spirit. Coupled with his innate talent for smell, just at that moment, he smelled a very light smell of blood, which was different from the stench of soul beast blood. He was sure that this was the smell of human blood.

Not far away, Yu Bingyan leaned against an ancient tree, her long golden hair fluttering in the wind. She raised her hand slightly and played with her nails. After noticing Shu Yan, she curled her lips into a smile and said:

"Ayan, do you know what is the most important and most realistic first lesson in life for a qualified combat spirit master?"

Shu Yan was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said:

"kill…"
