Chapter 54: Tang San: It

"If I say my soul power was eaten into existence, would you believe me?"

Inside the room, as Tang San’s words were spoken, it suddenly became deathly silent.

Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, and the others, who had been curious, were instantly displeased upon hearing Tang San’s words, which sounded as if he were trying to fool a ghost.

During the incident with the Titan Giant Ape, they, the Shrek Seven Devils, had lived and died together.

Originally, Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, and the others had thought that they were already brothers to one another.

Yet, for Tang San to actually use such nonsense to deceive them—did he even still consider them brothers?

Even if Tang San didn't say anything, they wouldn't have forced him to reveal anything.

But to use such nonsense to lie to everyone, that was going too far!

The gazes of Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others couldn't help but change as they looked at Tang San.

Everyone treated you like a brother, yet you treat everyone like fools!

Many of them felt a bit displeased in their hearts.

And looking at everyone’s gazes, Tang San knew they didn't believe him.

Sigh, it’s too hard; why is it that these days, when one speaks the truth, no one believes it?

His soul power really was eaten into existence!

Tang San sighed inwardly, yet felt incredibly aggrieved.

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

"San, stop messing around. This matter is of great importance; it concerns your future!"

Seeing that Tang San was still in the mood to joke at a time like this, the Master’s expression could not help but turn grave.

Tang San’s cultivation base had suddenly increased rapidly, which could potentially be overdrawing his potential.

This was no different from pulling on seedlings to help them grow; it would ruin Tang San.

"Teacher, I really did eat it into existence!"

Seeing that no one believed him when he told the truth, Tang San felt aggrieved.

But fortunately, he did have a way to prove what he said.

With a swipe of his right hand across the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges, the next moment, a packed portion of egg fried rice and a braised egg were taken out by Tang San.

After the battle with the Titan Giant Ape, Tang San had come to trust the people of Shrek.

Although it would have been better to continue hiding the matters regarding the fairyland and the gourmet food.

But clearly, he wouldn't be able to hide it for long.

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

How was he supposed to explain it then?

Should he say he had exceptional talent?

No one would believe that at all.

Furthermore, it would only deepen the rift between him and the Shrek group.

From just a moment ago, 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 didn't want them to think he was lying to them.

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

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

As it turned out, because of the Titan Giant Ape’s intervention, he had been forced to put it away again.

At this moment, he could only take it out and explain it to everyone.

It was just that Dai Mubai and the others, seeing Tang San actually take out a portion of egg fried rice and a braised egg, felt a sense of mockery in their hearts.

The brotherhood was over, really!

If you want to lie to them, at least prepare some food they don't recognize!

By preparing egg fried rice and a braised egg, were you really pinning their intelligence to the ground?

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

He cast an apologetic look toward Xiao Wu, and the latter also agreed with Tang San’s decision.

"Mm, it’s fine, Brother!"

Xiao Wu nodded silently, which left Dai Mubai and the others slightly hesitant.

What was going on here? Were they teaming up to lie to them?

But it didn't seem like it; they were saying it in such a convincing manner.

"I know you don't believe me, but you can taste it, and then you'll know!"

Naturally understanding that Dai Mubai and the others wouldn't just believe him like that, Tang San pointed to the egg fried rice and braised egg in front of him.

The item is right here; you only need to take a bite, and you will know if it is true or false.

"Fine, San, I believe you!"

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

Looking at Tang San’s sincere gaze, he was the first to choose to believe.

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

As the egg fried rice entered his mouth, the soul power within Dai Mubai’s body instantly began to surge.

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

Such a scene left Dai Mubai stunned.

What Tang San said was true; this egg fried rice could really increase soul power?

With a look of astonishment, he turned his gaze toward the egg fried rice in front of him; for a moment, Dai Mubai didn't know what to say.

"Boss Dai, what’s wrong?"

Seeing Dai Mubai stunned, Oscar, who was beside him, patted him on the shoulder.

It was just a portion of egg fried rice; could it really be tastier than his sausages?

"Heh, try it yourself!"

With a bitter smile and a shake of his head, Dai Mubai handed the spoon to Oscar.

A confused Oscar took the spoon, also took a bite, and then froze.

As the egg fried rice entered his mouth, it actually caused the soul power in his body to increase by a sliver.

His soul power had originally been infinitely close to the level thirty bottleneck; at this moment, after one bite of egg fried rice, Oscar felt he was about to break through.

Licking his lips, Oscar took another bite.

The next moment, the soul power in his body erupted instantly; his level twenty-nine soul power broke directly through the level thirty bottleneck.

Seeing that he had broken through his soul power after just two bites of egg fried rice, Oscar was stunned.

If he had been left to cultivate bitterly, it would have taken at least half a month; as it turned out, it was finished in two bites of egg fried rice.

Oscar stood frozen on the spot; for a moment, only one thought remained in his mind.

This egg fried rice was indeed tastier than his sausages.

And Oscar’s soul power breakthrough left everyone in the room stunned.

If Dai Mubai’s previous soul power increase could only be felt by himself.

Then now, everyone felt Oscar’s soul power breakthrough.

"Oh my god, Little Ao, this egg fried rice can really increase soul power?"

Ning Rongrong exclaimed at this moment, covering her mouth and looking at Tang San with an expression of disbelief.

She hadn't expected that everything Tang San said was true.

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

See, he had said it long ago; his soul power was eaten into existence!

But you didn't believe him; who could he blame for that?

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