Chapter 69: Sausage

Yu Tianyun felt quite excited; he was going to the Star Dou Great Forest, which meant he might have a chance to snatch Tang San's Eight‑Spider Spear!

Though he wasn't sure whether his appearance would cause a butterfly effect that would prevent that two‑thousand‑year‑old Human‑faced Demon Spider from being born with an External Attached Soul Bone.

But at least he must not let Tang San obtain it, since he and Tang San are destined to become enemies, as was sealed the moment he absorbed Ah Yin's soul bone.

At that moment, Ning Rongrong, who was holding Yu Tianyun's arm, introduced to everyone: "This is Brother Yu Tianyun, my fiancé. He came to Shilake Xueyuan to wait for his uncle; you saw him yesterday. These two are my good sisters! Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun. Dean, let them accompany me to the Star Dou Great Forest this time!"

Yu Tianyun smiled faintly, silently praising Ning Rongrong's sense, then said, "Senior Fland, the three of us will also do our part and will never hold anyone back."

Fland had no objections, since Yu Tianyun is the nephew of his good brother, so he felt more at ease; moreover, although Yu Tianyun only showed a fraction of his power yesterday, his speed without even unleashing his martial soul was already enough to demonstrate how formidable he truly is!

It's as if he got a henchman for free! Fland was still not even excited yet, so how could he refuse?

Fland nodded, smiling, and said, "Welcome you all to join. Yu Tianyun, everyone can see your strength; on this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, please look after them a bit more."

Ning Rongrong was delighted to hear Fland's approval and introduced the Shilake members to the three of Yu Tianyun, who gave a forced smile and nodded to each of them in turn.

He recognized each of Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai and Oscar. Among them, Tang San's expression was the most natural, while the most forced was undoubtedly Dai Mubai. He felt deeply suppressed, as Yu Tianyun was openly affectionate with his wife in front of him, yet he had to put on a smiling face. He had always been the only one to do such a thing; when had Dai ever experienced this kind of humiliation!

At the same time, Fland said, "However, before this training, I have another test for you; Oscar, come over."

"Oscar, make some restorative big sausages."

"Today's test is that, except for Oscar, each of you must eat a sausage created by his soul power!"

The others' faces changed instantly. Xiao Wu shouted, "What? Dean, what kind of test is this?"

Fland said seriously:

"This is called adaptive training. I ask you, is face (reputation) more important or life?"

"Oscar's soul spell is a bit lewd, but the martial soul sausage he creates is the finest food‑type martial soul I've ever seen."

"During the academy, he was a member of your team; if you can't sync with him, you'll waste this excellent auxiliary partner!"

"At the same time, this also hones your mindset; surviving in the Soul Master World will require any means."

"It's not just a sausage— even cockroaches or rats, if they keep you alive, you must eat them! Oscar, begin!"

Hearing Fland's final words, Xiao Wu turned an extremely pale, sickly color, feeling a wave of nausea rise in her stomach.

Oscar, now terribly embarrassed, scratched his head, raised both hands, and chanted his soul spell: "I have a big sausage."

"I have a small pork‑sausage."

A thick and a thin sausage of different flavors appeared in his palms, and he asked, "Who goes first?"

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, as senior students who had taken similar courses before, still could endure despite lingering shadows in their hearts.

But just as the two were about to step forward, someone jumped ahead.

"Let me try, okay?" Yu Tianyun stepped before Oscar, his expression unchanged.

He truly couldn't understand why these Shilake students, or rather the youngsters from Douluo Continent, found this soul technique disgusting; even if the soul spell is a bit lewd, is it really unbearable? Their mental endurance is far too fragile! Seeing Yu Tianyun ask for a sausage, Oscar handed one over without hesitation.

Yu Tianyun took a bite of the sausage, carefully feeling the internal change, and soon discovered a warm current restoring his soul power, stamina, even his blood energy, with quite good efficiency.

Then he swallowed the pork‑sausage in his hand in one bite; this time he felt no restorative effect, though the taste was fine.

Oscar, seeing Yu Tianyun so enthusiastically eat both sausages, quickly asked, "How is it?"

"Very good, extremely good!" Yu Tianyun nodded in response.

"This big restorative sausage tastes great, its effects are comprehensive, and the recovery speed is quite good. But what does your small sausage do?"

Hearing Yu Tianyun's approval, Oscar's face lit with joy, and he hurriedly replied, "My small sausage can increase some anti‑poison resistance and can neutralize weaker toxins!"

Yu Tianyun nodded, indicating his approval.

Oscar's sausage was indeed excellent, worthy of a martial soul capable of generating innate full soul power.

The sausage was not only tasty but also highly effective, and being meat, it is a top‑tier talent among food‑type Soul Masters.

However, in Yu Tianyun's view, that's all there is to it.

Yu Tianyun has always upheld personal martial strength above all; in his eyes, those so‑called Soul Master teams are utterly laughable.

No one can be relied on forever, and no banquet lasts eternally; Soul Master teams will eventually dissolve, and only one's own strength is truly reliable! When Yu Tianyun ate the sausage with a calm expression and even praised it, the Shilake crowd found it very odd—didn't he find it disgusting?

Yet Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, and Ma Hongjun dared not ask aloud.

Finally, Tang San couldn't help but say, "Don't you think his soul spell is... a bit strange?"

Given Tang San's temperament, he still didn't directly say the word "disgusting."

Yu Tianyun smiled calmly, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes, and said, "Dean Fland is right; if you can't tolerate even this, it only shows your mental endurance is too weak—better stop cultivating and go home to farm! The Soul Master World isn't for you."

After speaking, he turned to Oscar and said, "Others might feel disgusted or repulsed by your soul spell, but that's not your fault. On the contrary, their mockery and contempt only prove their ignorance and fragility! They prove nothing!"

Hearing Yu Tianyun's words, the four proud Shilake members could no longer bear it, but they were intimidated by his strength and background and dared not react!

As the protagonist of this test—Oscar—watching Yu Tianyun's figure, he was moved to the point of wanting to cry; Yu Tianyun was the first and only person who didn't reject his soul technique, even praising and understanding him.

Oscar glanced back at the four people stunned by Yu Tianyun, feeling a secret thrill, yet also a hint of contempt toward them! Unseen, a slight rift formed between Oscar and the others.

Fland greatly praised Yu Tianyun's words. As an old money‑obsessed person, his mental endurance is remarkably strong, so he couldn't quite understand Tang San and the others, and inevitably felt some disappointment.

He said, "Yu Tianyun's words are correct; if you can't even handle this, you should leave the academy as soon as possible!"

Hearing Fland's words, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, already accustomed to Oscar's sausages, hurried over to eat the fresh ones Oscar made; Tang San frowned, walked over helplessly, while Xiao Wu, extremely reluctant, was the last to come. The three women beside Yu Tianyun, after hearing his words, found them reasonable and graciously took a sausage and began eating.
