The people from Shrek Academy and Yu Yuanzhen's group all looked utterly exhausted.
After eating the Shogun's cooking yesterday and suffering such violent diarrhea, they could hardly describe how miserable they felt.
They had slept until now, yet their entire bodies still felt heavy, as though a mountain were pressing down on them.
What puzzled them was why there had been no obvious improvement.
At first, their Soul Power had increased—Qin Ming had even advanced twice.
Then, after that bout of diarrhea, the impurities in their bodies had been expelled, and their Soul Power circulated faster within them.
This time, after another explosive bout of diarrhea, they felt no benefits at all. For a while, they wondered whether the effects of the Shogun's cooking could not stack.
Or had the benefits been added somewhere else?
Were they simply too weak and too dull to notice?
Tang San felt like killing someone.
Not even a trace of his Soul Power had increased.
Then why had he eaten so much... what had it all been for?
Was it merely to stay alive?
To live in such humiliation, Tang San felt he might as well die!
"Long live the Shogun!"
"The Shogun's cooking is the best in the world!"
No matter how weak Yu Yuanzhen and the others were, the moment they saw Raiden Shogun, they were still wildly excited.
They circled around Raiden Shogun.
Tang San's heart trembled at the sight.
From the looks of it, they seemed to have gained some excellent benefits.
Why hadn't he?
When he asked Dai Mubai, Zhao Wuji, and the others, they merely shook their heads. Other than becoming even weaker, they had not experienced any obvious improvement either.
Why was that?
Tang San could not understand, nor could he accept it.
He had eaten so much, yet gained nothing in the end. How could he possibly get over that?
"No! When we had to go, we split up from Yu Yuanzhen's group. They must have some secret we don't know! If this happens again next time, we'll follow them. Only then can we truly use the Shogun's cooking to improve our cultivation!"
Tang San still refused to give up. Moreover, Yu Yuanzhen had threatened him.
From now on, whenever the Shogun cooked, he would have to eat even if he did not want to.
They had to uncover their secret, or else they would have suffered all this for nothing.
Zhao Wuji, Dai Mubai, and the others repeatedly nodded. They thought the same way.
"Thank goodness I didn't eat it. Otherwise, I'd really be finished."
Ning Rongrong had always eaten Raiden Mei's cooking. Even pigs would not eat the Shogun's cooking, and she would rather die than touch it.
In the end, she escaped disaster, and Raiden Shogun did not trouble her either.
After all, Raiden Shogun had already won.
If Ning Rongrong refused to eat, that was Ning Rongrong's loss.
Likewise, Snake Woman and Meng Yiran had not eaten the Shogun's cooking either.
They had also been intimidated by the Shogun's power, but at the time, they had planned to eat some of Mei's cooking first, then turn to the Shogun's food only if they truly could not endure it anymore.
Then, after seeing those people's reactions, the two women did not dare touch the Shogun's cooking no matter what.
They would rather die than suffer such humiliation.
Thus, they too escaped disaster.
Then, seeing that these people had awakened, the Shogun planned to cook again.
Mei no longer stopped her.
Not only because she had lost yesterday, but also because Starry Sky had told Raiden Mei about his plan.
Weren't these people eating the Shogun's food in order to gain great power?
Starry Sky had added a large amount of laxative to the Shogun's seasonings. It would cause these people to rapidly expel whatever amount of the Shogun's food they ate.
Their bodies would be unable to absorb the mysterious substances within it.
And they would not gain any improvement in their bodies or cultivation.
Without any benefits, no matter how delicious the Shogun's cooking was, it would be utterly rejected.
They only had to wait for the moment these people fell into despair.
Raiden Shogun took everyone for a walk through the forest, and they gathered all the ingredients they needed.
Raiden Shogun had also captured a dragon-type soul beast with twenty thousand years of cultivation.
This greatly excited Yu Tianheng.
He felt that he could absorb this soul beast's Soul Ring.
Tang San was shocked. Yu Tianheng was only level forty.
And he wanted to absorb a twenty-thousand-year Soul Ring?
Was he courting death, or was he simply that confident in himself?
Raiden Shogun did not pay it much mind and let Yu Tianheng kill the dragon-type soul beast.
Right beside the pot, he began absorbing the soul beast's Soul Ring.
As usual, Raiden Shogun directly chopped the soul beast into chunks of meat and tossed them into the pot to simmer.
Watching Yu Tianheng absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, Qin Ming saw no signs of him exploding. He even seemed completely at ease.
Longing filled Qin Ming's eyes. "I think my seventh Soul Ring can absorb a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring now."
Tang San and the others beside him were struck by towering waves of shock!
These people really had become stronger. They truly had a way to gain power from the Shogun's cooking and improve their strength.
By the time Yu Tianheng finished absorbing the ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, the Shogun's meal was ready as well.
With Yu Tianheng's successful absorption of a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring as precedent, the others ate even more frantically.
When it came time to relieve themselves, Tang San wanted to go ask Yu Yuanzhen and the others for advice.
However, Yu Yuanzhen did not want these juniors seeing him with diarrhea, so he used his overwhelming power to drive them away.
Poison Douluo even set up a poisonous miasma, making Tang San and the others come away empty-handed again.
Thus, Tang San could only work it out himself.
"Eat... then excrete it. Whatever benefits there are, they need to be absorbed... So if it gets excreted, then... I see. So that's how it is!"
Tang San immediately understood where the problem lay.
"No matter how good something is, if you eat it and then excrete it, it's useless! Next time, we just need to endure and not go. It would be even better if we found something to plug the exit."
"Little San, you're still the smartest!"
Dai Mubai patted Tang San on the shoulder, his eyes brimming with tears.
Who could understand his suffering these past two days?
Zhu Zhuqing had seen him spraying that yellow-and-purple mixture.
How disgusted must Zhu Zhuqing be with him now?
She was his fiancée.
His image had completely collapsed. So he swore that he would grow stronger, stronger, and fucking stronger!
Only by becoming stronger could he make Zhu Zhuqing see him in a new light!
Only then could he recover his dignity!
"Tang San, you're skilled with hidden weapons, your eyes are sharp, and you know how to set up all sorts of little mechanisms. Why don't you help us make plugs?"
Oscar looked at Tang San expectantly.
"Yeah! Third Brother, I can't hold back that erupting feeling at all. If there's nothing blocking it, it'll be hard for us to keep the Shogun's cooking inside our bodies. We can only block this one passage."
Ma Hongjun was equally fired up. He wanted to grow stronger too, so he could sleep with high-quality female soul masters.
Tang San's mouth twitched. Design plugs for them?
Wouldn't that mean prying open their asses to do it?
But several of them immediately surrounded Tang San, each wearing an expression that said, "We're counting on you, brother."
Tang San had the ability, and he also wanted to win over these few underlings. He could only suppress his disgust and agree, then make custom plugs for each of them...
