Tang San felt Yu Yuanzhen's gaze from across the table and shuddered.

He had not forgotten that he was the test subject for the medicine.

No matter how disgusting or deadly the food before him looked, he had to eat it.

Otherwise, Yu Yuanzhen would definitely deal with him afterward.

Then, holding back his tears and his killing intent, he took a bite of the venison.

At once, an unbearable wave of nausea spread through his entire body. It felt as though he had been shoved into a cesspit.

At the same time, unbearable stabbing pain and burning itchiness surged through his body.

The agony was almost too much to bear.

Fortunately, Tang San had lived a second life and possessed unwavering willpower.

He did not yield to the pain. With his head lowered, he quietly continued eating the food the Shogun had made.

Seeing this, the others all wondered whether the Shogun's cooking had somehow improved.

Next, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar began eating as well.

The moment they took a bite, they went "Pfft!" and spat everything in their mouths out.

They could not imagine how Tang San had managed to swallow something that looked like shit.

And even eat it with such relish?

When she saw them vomiting, Raiden Shogun's cold gaze immediately fell upon them. Her icy eyes held nothing but faint killing intent.

Their bodies trembled as fear overwhelmed them.

This woman was terrifying.

They had seen Yu Yuanzhen get struck by her lightning before. Did a dignified Titled Douluo dare make a sound?

How could they dare complain now?

Terrified of dying, they hurriedly threw themselves at the basins before them and began stuffing themselves.

Only then did the Shogun shift her dangerous gaze away.

"Gulp..."

Ning Rongrong swallowed hard. This was too tragic.

However, she did not eat the Shogun's food. She ate Raiden Mei's instead.

Hiss...

It was truly delicious!

As for Yu Yuanzhen's warning, she did not care about it at all.

As the esteemed young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, being made to eat something like shit was worse than simply killing her.

Still, Yu Yuanzhen did not need to force Ning Rongrong to eat anymore. Tang San and the others had already proven that the food was edible.

Then Yu Yuanzhen, Poison Douluo, Qin Ming, Yu Tianheng, and Dugu Yan stopped hesitating and buried their faces in the food the Shogun had cooked.

They ate with great relish, wolfing it down.

The Shogun's food was simply too disgusting, and they did not want to suffer while eating.

So they binged like this, as if they were drinking alcohol.

One cup down, and the pain would be over in an instant.

Seeing this, Raiden Shogun was beyond excited.

After all, so many people were eating so enthusiastically, like starving ghosts reincarnated.

Did this not prove that her cooking was good?

She felt utterly delighted.

Starry Sky and the others were merely putting on an act, sucking the air inside their plastic bags.

"Ah~! Lady Shogun's cooking is simply the finest delicacy in the world! It's so delicious!"

"Waaah! Delicious! So delicious! I could eat ten huge bags of Lord Shogun's food!"

After Xiao Wu finished sucking the air out of her bag, she hurried back to the large pot, filled another bag with air, then returned and continued sucking.

Raiden Mei's mouth twitched repeatedly.

Were they messing with her?

If the Shogun's food tasted better than hers, she would eat two whole pots of it herself!

Unfortunately, everyone feared Raiden Shogun and could only speak against their hearts.

The smile on Raiden Shogun's face grew even brighter, as though she had claimed victory.

Moreover, seeing Xiao Wu return with a bag to collect more air because she did not seem full, she worried that her little fans might not have had enough either. She lifted the large pot in one hand and held a huge ladle in the other, giving them another serving.

Tang San was in unbearable agony. He wanted to finish this food quickly, then eat Mei's cooking to suppress the nausea in his stomach.

Who knew that another huge ladleful would fill his bowl to the brim again?

Tang San could not hold it in and vomited straight into the pot.

Fortunately, Raiden Shogun did not notice, or he would have been struck by lightning.

Looking at the indescribable contents of his bowl, Tang San felt utterly miserable.

Yet Raiden Shogun was wandering around nearby, and the overwhelming pressure she gave off forced him to endure the nausea and keep shoveling food into his mouth.

Luckily, he kept reminding himself that finishing it would increase his strength.

That was the only reason he held on until...

Until his stomach started acting up.

Tang San had been the first to eat.

So he was also the first to get diarrhea.

It was just that Tang San had greater self-control and could endure it a little longer.

Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Oscar could not.

Clutching their butts, they leaped up from their seats with tense expressions.

Then, with their legs pressed together, they ran toward the depths of the forest.

"Damn it! Is it going to be that again?!"

Seeing Ma Hongjun and the others' reactions, Yu Yuanzhen and the rest turned pale as well.

They would rather pass out after eating the general's cooking than go into the forest again with crap flying everywhere!

Not only was the process humiliating, it was fucking painful too.

When they saw the Shrek Academy group fail to reach the forest before purple and yellow sludge sprayed out behind them, launching them into the air on the spot...

Yu Yuanzhen, Poison Douluo, and the others could not eat another bite.

They hurriedly ran away.

They remembered seeing a stream in the distance while gathering ingredients with the general. If they did this in the stream...

Perhaps it would be a little more dignified.

Tang San finally could not hold on either. He hurriedly stood and sprinted toward the place Dai Mubai and the others had run to.

However, Tang San had held it in for too long.

This time, it erupted all at once, blasting him into the air before he plunged headfirst back down.

And by sheer coincidence, he landed right where the others had sprayed before.

Tang San immediately got a mouthful of it.

Before he could even vomit from disgust...

The eruption began again behind him.

This time, with his butt pointed at the sky, Tang San slid forward along the ground, shoveling another huge amount of the stuff on the ground into his stomach.

Tang San was on the verge of despair.

Damn it, sliding all the way along the trail the others had left behind, he had eaten more than he had expelled.

He was also the one in the Shrek camp who lasted the longest.

In the end, he lay in the purple mixture with a dead-eyed expression, practically wishing he could die.

But he was not dead. As long as he was alive, there was hope!

Right!

He, Tang San, still had hope!

The general's cooking could increase one's strength. He had eaten so much that the boost he received later would definitely be even greater.

As long as he developed properly, he would surely surpass Starry Sky, the general, and the others in the future!

Then...

Urgh...

Tang San ultimately passed out from exhaustion.

"More people ate my food than anyone else's! They ate it so enthusiastically! I won! Hehehe!"

In the end, Raiden Shogun planted her hands on her hips, looking incredibly smug.

"The people who ate your food are practically dying! How does that count as liking it?"

Mei objected sternly. What the general was doing was harming people!

"I do not care. They like it, and that is entirely because my cooking is so good. How could this general fail to answer her subjects' wishes?"

Raiden Shogun, victory!
