The General's Food Didn't Work; Tang San Absorbed a Ten-Year Soul Ring

"Damn! You really managed to endure it!"

After the meal, Starry Sky watched the Shrek Academy group rolling around on the ground, their bodies mottled red and purple, and could not help but admire them.

These Chrysanthemum Iron-Lock Pants were truly well made.

Their backsides were sealed tight—so tight that not even a fart leaked out.

If they kept this up, perhaps they really could absorb the miraculous power in the General's food and be reborn!

No! He absolutely could not let them succeed with such a method!

Otherwise, people would eventually take desperate risks and use this method to eat food cooked by the General's wife.

The General had fans, and those fans could cook.

Then Starry Sky would be the one suffering too.

So, seeing them tortured unconscious by the pain, he unleashed lightning.

He shocked them until they were dizzy and had diarrhea.

Everything in their stomachs came right back up!

When the group groggily woke up, they felt awful all over.

Especially their backsides, which burned with pain.

"Did we... did we succeed?"

Ma Hongjun looked around. There was not much excrement on the ground.

Didn't that mean the food had remained inside his body?

He immediately shouted in delight.

They did not know that Starry Sky had already taken care of all that stuff.

Tang San and the others were overjoyed and hurriedly checked their Soul Power.

However, not a single one of them had increased their Soul Power.

Tang San's eyes flickered as he said:

"What improved this time should be our physiques! I can feel that my body has become much stronger. A ten-thousand-year Soul Ring! I can definitely absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring now!"

"Huh? General, that Poison Tail Scorpion! Get that Poison Tail Scorpion!"

While accompanying Raiden Shogun in search of ingredients, Tang San spotted a Poison Tail Scorpion with ten thousand years of cultivation. His eyes lit up with wild joy, and he could not have been more excited.

He believed that after eating so much of the General's food, he could now absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.

So he hurriedly reminded Raiden Shogun to catch that ten-thousand-year Poison Tail Scorpion.

"Can this thing even be eaten? Kid, don't talk nonsense!" Yu Yuanzhen, little more than skin and bones, scolded him.

It was not only Yu Yuanzhen who had become skin and bones. Those who had diarrhea every day were all about the same.

After being tormented for so many days, they felt as though they were about to die.

The General's cooking had already been bizarre enough, and now Tang San wanted Raiden Shogun to catch a scorpion?

Wasn't that basically trying to murder them?

However, Raiden Shogun moved swiftly and caught the Poison Tail Scorpion directly.

It was already too late for regrets.

Tang San could not care less about Yu Yuanzhen.

He was now the General's loyal fan. If Yu Yuanzhen dared bully him, he would report it to the General!

Although it would not do much, it could still make Yu Yuanzhen lose favor with the General.

When the Poison Tail Scorpion was about to go into the pot, Tang San quickly said that he needed this soul beast's Soul Ring.

Yu Tianheng, Qin Ming, and Dugu Yan had done the same before.

Raiden Shogun did not stop him and allowed Tang San to kill the ten-thousand-year Poison Tail Scorpion.

Yu Yuanzhen and the others did not stop him either.

They looked at the iron underpants Tang San and the others were wearing.

They had heard that after putting on those underpants, they no longer had diarrhea.

If Tang San's body was truly strengthened, then for the sake of increasing their strength, they would be willing to do the same afterward.

They would just treat Tang San as a lab rat.

Next, Tang San sat cross-legged nearby and began patiently absorbing the Soul Ring.

The pitch-black Soul Ring was drawn toward Tang San, its enormous power surging into his body. Pain instantly wracked his entire body.

His expression twisted viciously, and he collapsed onto the ground, struggling desperately.

"Ah... ahhh!!"

Tang San cried out in heart-wrenching agony; the pain wracking his body was beyond description.

The others watched with disappointment written all over their faces.

How was Tang San being strengthened?

Judging by how his body looked ready to explode, he had clearly failed.

"What are you screaming for?!"

Raiden Shogun had been happily cooking, while Tang San shrieked here like a pig tied to a slaughter rack.

It was unbearably irritating.

So, a bolt of lightning descended and struck Tang San directly.

He was instantly knocked unconscious.

The absorption of the Soul Ring was forcibly interrupted as well.

The ten-thousand-year Soul Ring dispersed from Tang San's body, though a trace of its power remained within him.

The Shrek group hurried over. Seeing that Tang San was not dead, they all stared at Raiden Shogun in fear.

What kind of power was this? Tang San had nearly been unable to withstand the ten-thousand-year Soul Ring's power and was about to explode.

Yet Raiden Shogun had stopped it with a single bolt of lightning.

That was far too powerful.

Tang San was soon revived. He stared blankly around him, completely at a loss.

Everyone suggested that Tang San release his martial soul and take a look.

Then they saw Tang San's Soul Ring configuration and nearly laughed.

Yellow, yellow, white!

Tang San's third Soul Ring was actually a white ten-year Soul Ring?

And judging by its color, it was so faint it was nearly impossible to see.

It was definitely below ten years—a single-digit Soul Ring!

Tang San fell into despair, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted again.

The Shogun's cooking... was no good!

Everyone from Shrek was plunged into despair.

They hurried to wake Tang San again.

"Tang San! Where's the key? Give us the key, now!"

If the Shogun's cooking could not enhance their abilities, what was the point of wearing these iron pants?

If they could not take them off, they would have to endure endless pain.

"The key? I buried it... buried it beneath a tree... I didn't remember which tree. I only left a self-igniting hidden weapon over there... so that we could keep going... It won't... it won't catch fire until tomorrow..."

Tang San said lifelessly.

"What?! Tang San, you've doomed us! Ahhh..."

At the thought of enduring this agony for another whole day, they all despaired completely.

Just then, the Shogun's food was ready as well.

How could they dare run away?

They could only grit their teeth and keep eating.

After finishing, they were all half-dead.

"These people... they're all lunatics. I'd better provoke them less in the future... No, no! I'm quitting Shrek Academy. Being with this bunch of madmen feels way too dangerous!"

Ning Rongrong had watched everything the Shrek group had done these past few days.

It had made her afraid to even stand with them.

"Starry Sky? Is Blue Tyrant Academy still accepting people? Could you... invite me to join?"

There were also people from Heaven Dou Royal Academy here.

But Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan ate every day and had diarrhea every day, so she did not dare go there either.

She could only turn to Starry Sky.

Besides, after following Starry Sky and the others these past few days, she had not suffered Raiden Shogun's torment in the slightest.

These people were also very powerful, and she wanted to cling to them.

"Of course. Blue Tyrant Academy welcomes anyone who wishes to study."

Starry Sky agreed casually.

With Ning Rongrong's family background, she could attend any academy she wanted.

Whether he agreed or not made no difference at all.

"I have heard a little about Blue Tyrant Academy. Was it the academy that defeated Heaven Dou Royal Academy's second team in the last tournament? I think an academy like that would suit my Yiran as well!"

Snake Woman Chao Tianxiang smiled kindly. Through her interactions with Starry Sky over the past few days, she had learned just how powerful he was, and that he could even use lightning to help others temper their physiques.

If Meng Yiran followed Starry Sky, she would surely accomplish great things in the future!
