Chapter 55: The Grandmaster's Scheme
Douluo World, outside the Star Dou Great Forest
"Teacher, that's what happened!"
Inside the inn, Tang San recounted the matter of the gourmet shop.
In fact, regarding the gourmet shop, the reason Tang San brought it up was because he had his own little scheme in mind.
Putting aside the matter of his sudden surge in soul power, that couldn't be hidden anyway.
Just look at the immortal's gourmet shop—only he alone could enter it.
No matter how much others wished to enter, they couldn't.
Judging by the pace of over ten levels of soul power gained in a single month.
Tang San felt that it wouldn't be long before he could break through to Titled Douluo.
Within a year, breaking through to Titled Douluo was no problem.
A thirteen-year-old Titled Douluo—Tang San felt that by then, no one would be able to deal with him.
And sharing Tang San's thoughts were the present members of Shi Shi Laike.
Hearing that Tang San could break through to Titled Douluo in less than half a year.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Even the arriving Grandmaster and Flander were both stunned.
Weren't they just talking about the Hun Sect a moment ago?
How did it suddenly jump to Titled Douluo?
It must be that they opened it the wrong way.
This had to be a dream.
Flander pinched Zhao Wuji hard, and seeing Zhao Wuji grimace in pain, Flander was convinced.
This really wasn't a dream!
It was just that what Tang San said was too dreamlike.
"Oh my, Third Brother, you go to the immortal realm four times a month, and each time you gain four levels of soul power—doesn't that mean you'd only need a little over three months to break through to Titled Douluo!"
Silently calculating on the side, Especially Ning Rongrong directly covered her mouth and exclaimed.
No need to wait until thirteen—perhaps Tang San could break through to Titled Douluo at twelve.
Hearing Especially Ning Rongrong's calculation, everyone present was now utterly dumbfounded.
They were still striving for level thirty, while Tang San was already heading toward Titled Douluo.
The gap between people was simply too vast.
"It shouldn't be that fast!"
Just as everyone was exclaiming, the Grandmaster, who had been pondering all along, spoke up.
"Based on what Xiao San said, the immortal's gourmet food naturally provides a huge boost, but as Tang San's soul power advances to later stages, he definitely won't be able to steadily gain four levels anymore!"
The Grandmaster spoke softly, and for a moment, everyone came back to their senses.
Indeed, gaining four levels of soul power at level thirty as a Soul Elder.
And gaining four levels at level seventy as a Soul Saint—those simply couldn't be compared.
"Mm, the teacher's right. I can already feel that the beef noodles' effect is weakening!"
Tang San nodded silently, agreeing quite readily.
Ever since he went to eat beef noodles last time, Tang San had noticed it.
The three levels of soul power gained from the beef noodles weren't as much as before.
Tang San had originally thought it was his own illusion.
But with the Grandmaster saying so, Tang San also realized it.
"Xiao San, it's fine, that's still faster than us!"
Dai Mubai patted Tang San's shoulder, not knowing where the confidence came from, daring to comfort Tang San at this moment.
And hearing Dai Mubai's comfort, Tang San wryly shook his head.
Definitely faster than you all.
Moreover, even if the beef noodles' effect weakened.
The immortal's side would put out new gourmet dishes from time to time.
When that time came, his soul power would surge again.
Muttering inwardly, Tang San glanced at Dai Mubai and the others but still didn't say it out loud, afraid of discouraging them.
"Xiao San, you did the right thing this time!"
Just as Tang San was pondering, the Grandmaster on the other side had already picked up the fried rice and braised egg.
The fried rice, after being tasted by the strange members of Shi Shi Laike, now only had half left.
The Grandmaster glanced at it, then his gaze turned to Tang San.
"You brought the fried rice and braised egg back so Xiao Wu could gain soul power—you did the right thing!"
"As your soul power rises, the fried rice and braised egg's effect on you is already very weak."
"But for Xiao Wu, Especially Ning Rongrong, and the others, it can still raise their soul power by one level!"
The Grandmaster's gaze rested on Tang San, carrying a trace of relief.
Tang San had finally grown up.
His thinking had matured.
He knew how to maximize the benefits of this kind of gourmet food.
"Do you still remember what I told you? No matter how strong one person is, they cannot defeat a powerful collective!"
The Master glanced at the egg fried rice in his hand, then swept his gaze over the Shi Shi Laike group.
"And now, with these delicacies, you will become the strongest team on this continent!"
Light shone in the Master's eyes; it was hard for him to imagine how bright the future of these people would be if they were fully cultivated with delicacies.
"Xiao San, continue eating the beef noodles for now, but I hope you can bring the egg fried rice and the braised egg back for Especially Ning Rongrong and the others!"
He looked sincerely at Tang San, even though this would have a certain impact on Tang San's strength.
But the benefit of doing so is that it can secure the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and other forces.
Tang San has not yet grown up; he needs the support of these forces.
"Mm, no problem, Teacher!"
Tang San, who understood this principle as well, nodded.
After all, his current Hun Sect strength at level forty already far surpassed his companions.
If not for the fact that the beef noodles could still increase his soul power by three levels, Tang San would have considered bringing the beef noodles back for Xiao Wu to eat as well.
Seeing Tang San nod, the Master smiled gratifiedly, then handed the egg fried rice and the braised egg in his hand to Especially Ning Rongrong.
"Your soul power level is the lowest; let's start with you!"
Among the Shi Shi Laike Seven Devils, Especially Ning Rongrong's soul power was only level twenty-five, so the effects of the braised egg and egg fried rice were strongest on her.
Indeed, after Especially Ning Rongrong ate the egg fried rice and the braised egg, her soul power of level twenty-five within her body directly increased by one level, reaching level twenty-six.
Feeling the breakthrough in her soul power, a smile appeared on Especially Ning Rongrong's face.
She gave Tang San a playful, gentle smile and said,
"Third Brother, thanks! I will repay you well in the future!"
The sudden words made Tang San immediately feel a pain in his waist.
Turning his head, he saw Xiao Wu pinching him with an angry pout.
Tang San immediately felt a surge of grievance.
This had nothing to do with him; it was the Teacher's decision. Xiao Wu, you are pinching the wrong person!
For a moment, inside the room, seeing Xiao Wu jealous, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
The expressions of Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and others also relaxed.
The Master's arrangement meant they would have a chance to taste delicacies in the future as well.
Although not as much as Tang San, for them, it was already very rare.
Unknowingly, the Master had bound Tang San and the others together, forming a community of shared interests.
And at this moment, Tang San, having solved the immediate problem, began to ponder the Titan Ape!
Inside the Star Dou Great Forest, a certain handsome young man did not yet know that he had been targeted by his future brother-in-law!
It was possible that next time, he would directly become a dish.
