Chapter 54: Tang San: In This Day and Age, It's Really Hard to Tell the Truth (Sixth Update)

~7 min read 1,222 words

"Do you believe me if I say my soul power was gained from eating?"

Inside the room, as Tang San spoke these words, silence fell instantly.

Especially Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, and the others, who had been curious, immediately grew displeased upon hearing Tang San's words, which sounded like lies told to deceive ghosts.

During the battle with the Titan Giant Ape, the Shi Shi Laike Seven Devils had lived and died together.

Originally, Dai Mubai, Especially Ning Rongrong, and the rest thought they were already brothers.

But Tang San actually used such ghostly lies to deceive them; did he still consider them brothers?

Even if Tang San hadn't said anything, they wouldn't have forced the issue.

But using lies to deceive everyone is going too far!

The looks Dai Mubai, Especially Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others cast at Tang San changed involuntarily.

We treated you as a brother, yet you treated us like fools!

Many hearts felt a bit displeased.

Seeing the gazes of the crowd, Tang San knew they did not believe him.

Sigh, it's too hard; why is it that in this day and age, no one believes the truth?

His soul power really was gained from eating!

Tang San sighed inwardly, feeling incredibly aggrieved.

Sometimes, he was clearly telling the truth, yet no one believed him.

"Xiao San, stop fooling around; this matter is no triviality and concerns your future!"

Seeing that Tang San still had the mood to joke at such a time, Master's expression became solemn.

Tang San's cultivation power had suddenly risen with incredible speed; this could be draining his potential.

This is no different than pulling up seedlings to help them grow and will ruin Tang San.

"Teacher, I really gained it from eating!"

Seeing that no one believed the truth, Tang San felt aggrieved.

Fortunately, he had a way to prove what he said.

His right hand swept across the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night; in the next moment, the packed egg fried rice and braised egg were taken out by Tang San.

After the battle with the Titan Giant Ape, Tang San also trusted the people of Shi Shi Laike.

Although it would be better to continue concealing the matter of the Immortal Realm and the delicacies.

But obviously, it couldn't be concealed for much longer.

Once half a month passed, and he broke through to the Soul King level of fifty.

How would he explain it then?

Should he say his talent was extraordinary?

No one would believe that at all.

Moreover, it would deepen the rift between him and the people of Shi Shi Laike.

Since just now, Tang San had noticed the displeasure in the eyes of Dai Mubai and the others.

They were brothers who had experienced life and death; Tang San would not let them feel he was deceiving them.

"Here, knowing you wouldn't believe me, so I specifically brought it out!"

This portion of egg fried rice before them was the one he had prepared for Xiao Wu earlier.

As a result, due to the Titan Giant Ape's attack, he had to put it away again.

Now he could only take it out and explain to everyone.

However, Dai Mubai and the others, seeing Tang San actually produce a portion of egg fried rice and a braised egg, immediately thought "huh" in their hearts.

The brotherhood is truly over!

If you wanted to deceive them, you should at least prepare some food they didn't recognize!

You prepared egg fried rice and a braised egg; are you really pressing their intelligence into the ground?

"Originally, this portion was specifically prepared for Xiao Wu; now, I can only let you taste it."

He cast an apologetic look at Xiao Wu, and the latter agreed with Tang San's decision.

"Mm, it's fine, brother!"

Xiao Wu silently nodded, which made Dai Mubai and the others slightly hesitate.

What is this situation? Are they teaming up to deceive them?

But it doesn't seem like it; they are speaking with such conviction.

"Knowing you don't believe me, you can taste it; then you will know!"

Naturally understanding that Dai Mubai and the others wouldn't believe him just like that, Tang San pointed at the egg fried rice and braised egg before them.

The items are right here; you just need to taste them to know the truth.

"Alright, Xiao San, I believe you!"

The first to stand up was Dai Mubai, the leader of the Shi Shi Laike Seven Devils.

Seeing Tang San's sincere gaze, he was the first to choose to believe.

He picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of egg fried rice, and put it into his mouth.

As the egg fried rice entered his mouth, the soul power within Dai Mubai's body immediately erupted.

The golden rice grains entered his mouth, transformed into pure soul power, making Dai Mubai feel as if his soul power had increased by a trace.

Such a scene left Dai Mubai stunned.

Tang San was telling the truth; can this egg fried rice really increase soul power?

Looking at the egg fried rice before him with a shocked gaze, for a moment, Dai Mubai didn't know what to say.

"Old Dai, what's wrong?"

Seeing Dai Mubai lost in thought, Oscar beside him patted his shoulder.

It's just a plate of egg fried rice; could it possibly be tastier than my sausages?

"Heh, taste it yourself!"

Bitterly smiling and shaking his head, Dai Mubai handed the spoon to Oscar.

Confused, Oscar took the spoon, took a bite as well, and then froze.

The egg fried rice entered his mouth, and unexpectedly, a trace of his soul power increased within his body.

His soul power was already infinitely close to the bottleneck of level thirty; now, after one bite of egg fried rice, Oscar felt he was about to break through.

Licking his lips, Oscar took another bite.

In the next instant, the soul power within his body erupted instantly; his level twenty-nine soul power directly broke through the level thirty bottleneck.

Seeing that two bites of egg fried rice had caused him to break through his soul power, Oscar froze.

Originally, if he had to cultivate bitterly, it would have taken at least half a month; yet now, two bites of egg fried rice settled it.

Oscar froze right where he stood; for a moment, only one thought filled his mind.

This egg fried rice is indeed tastier than his sausages.

And Oscar's soul power breakthrough directly caused everyone in the scene to freeze.

If previously Dai Mubai's soul power increase could only be felt by himself,

then now, with Oscar's soul power breakthrough, everyone felt it.

"Heavens, Xiao Ao, can this egg fried rice really increase soul power?"

Especially Ning Rongrong exclaimed at this moment, covering her mouth, looking at Tang San with a face full of disbelief.

She never thought that everything Tang San said was true.

And as gazes turned toward him one after another, Tang San could only helplessly shrug his shoulders.

See, he said long ago that his soul power was gained by eating!

But you didn't believe him; who can be blamed for that?

Sighing in his heart, Tang San felt for the first time in his life that speaking the truth was quite difficult.
