Three Spoons of Sugar Bring Misfortune

With light and quick steps, Zhao Tao returned to the dormitory.

At this moment, his three old teammates, Gu Yue, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin, were also waiting.

"Brother Tao, did you succeed?"

Seeing Zhao Tao's figure, Tang Wulin curiously stepped forward and asked.

"Of course!"

"I have now officially advanced to Great Spirit Master!"

Hearing Tang Wulin's words, Zhao Tao smiled slightly, and two purple Soul Rings flickered on his body.

"Congratulations, Brother Tao!"

Looking at the Soul Rings on Zhao Tao's body, Xie Xie also smiled and congratulated him.

"By the way, Zhao Tao, what is your newly acquired Soul Skill?"

At this moment, Gu Yue, who was beside them, also asked with a face full of curiosity.

Hearing Gu Yue's words, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie also pricked up their ears curiously.

After all, they also wanted to know how powerful Brother Tao's second Soul Skill was!

"My second Soul Skill is called Fleeting Bloom!"

"As for its effect, it's to change the target's time flow, either accelerating or decelerating it!"

"For now, I'll let you experience it!"

Hearing Gu Yue's words, Zhao Tao smiled slightly and activated his Soul Power.

As the second purple Soul Ring on his body flickered, mysterious waves of time enveloped Gu Yue and the other two.

"Wow, it's so magical!"

"I can feel my speed has actually doubled!"

After taking a few small steps forward, a look of pleasant surprise flashed in Xie Xie's eyes!

"Yeah, this feeling is amazing!"

"Brother Tao, can you try the deceleration effect on us again?"

Experiencing the acceleration effect of Fleeting Bloom, Tang Wulin also said excitedly.

"The effect of slowing down time is usually used against enemies."

"However, since you want to experience it, that's fine too!"

Hearing Tang Wulin's words, Zhao Tao smiled slightly and activated his second Soul Skill again.

Instantly.

The Power of Time enveloping the three reversed, changing from accelerating time flow to slowing it down.

"What a marvelous feeling, even my control over elements has become much more sluggish!"

"If I were to deal with enemies in this state, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort!"

Under the effect of Fleeting Bloom slowing down time flow.

Gu Yue continuously conjured several fireballs and wind blades, feeling the resistance and marveling.

"Yeah, Brother Tao, your Soul Skill is invincible!"

On the other side, hearing Gu Yue's words, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie also exclaimed one after another.

"Invincible, far from it!"

"Even if the three of you had cultivation similar to mine, if I wanted to apply it to all of you simultaneously, I could only maintain it for a minute at most."

"If I were to deal with Soul Elders or even stronger enemies, the consumption of my Soul Power would increase exponentially."

"However, setting aside the immense consumption, this Soul Skill itself is indeed excellent!"

Zhao Tao explained as he deactivated the Soul Skill effect of Fleeting Bloom.

"I see!"

"In that case, the timing of releasing this Soul Skill is crucial!"

Hearing Zhao Tao's words, Gu Yue nodded as if she had realized something, and then offered her own insight.

"Yes, Gu Yue, you are right, but this requires us to cooperate and train more in the future."

"However, since today is a special occasion with your breakthrough, we must celebrate properly!"

Hearing this, Zhao Tao nodded, his face beaming with a brilliant smile.

"That's great! Brother Tao, why don't you treat us to a meal at the snack street to celebrate?"

"There are so many delicious foods there, it's just a pity that the last time I encountered that Guang Long fellow, I didn't get to eat my fill!"

Hearing Zhao Tao's words, Tang Wulin excitedly suggested.

"No, no, no, today, I'm going to show off my skills personally and let you all see my culinary prowess!"

Hearing this, Zhao Tao shook his head.

Although eating out was more convenient.

This time, however, Zhao Tao intended to showcase his cooking skills and, at the same time, deepen his relationship with Gu Yue.

After all, as the saying goes, conquer a woman's stomach, and you conquer her heart.

And as it happened, Zhao Tao, having been reborn, knew very well the kind of food Gu Yue liked.

This was also the fastest way to re-establish a bond with Gu Yue.

As he spoke, Zhao Tao took out various ingredients from his Storage Soul Tool.

"Wow, Brother Tao, you can cook too?"

Looking at the ingredients Zhao Tao took out, Xie Xie beside him was full of curiosity.

"Of course, I'm a gourmand!"

With a proud smile on his face, Zhao Tao led everyone to the dormitory's common kitchen area.

Rolling up his sleeves, putting on an apron, Zhao Tao, with a smile, skillfully prepared the ingredients.

As for Gu Yue, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin, they curiously gathered around Zhao Tao, wanting to witness his cooking skills.

"Since today is a celebration, I'll make a cream cake for everyone to try."

As he spoke, Zhao Tao took out eggs, flour, milk, and other raw ingredients, quickly mixing them evenly.

Then, he scooped out two large spoonfuls of white sugar and poured them into the cake batter.

"Brother Tao, only two spoonfuls of sugar, won't that be a bit insufficient?"

"How about adding one more spoonful?"

Looking at Zhao Tao's actions, Tang Wulin reminded him.

"Wulin, do you know that three spoons of sugar bring misfortune? Two spoonfuls of sugar are just right."

Hearing Tang Wulin's words, Zhao Tao explained seriously.

"I got it, Brother Tao, three spoons of sugar bring misfortune!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin nodded earnestly, keeping Zhao Tao's teaching firmly in mind.

Next, Zhao Tao carefully poured the cake batter into the mold.

He placed it in the oven and began baking.

"With a staple dish, we also need a main course!"

"Today's main course is Spicy Rabbit Head!"

While the cake was baking, Zhao Tao also began preparing today's main course—Spicy Rabbit Head.

This was also a dish Zhao Tao was most skilled at before his rebirth.

It was also a favorite of both Gu Yue and Na'er.

Zhao Tao methodically mixed a large bowl of secret sauce.

He then took out a large bag of fresh Soft Bone Charm Rabbit heads and marinated them in the sauce.

Immediately after, Zhao Tao heated a large pot of oil and poured the marinated rabbit heads into the pot to deep-fry.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Looking at the rabbit heads fried to a golden brown in the pot and smelling the enticing aroma, Gu Yue couldn't help but purse her lips.

"That's a given! Gu Yue, you must trust my cooking skills!"

As he spoke, Zhao Tao poured the prepared soul sauce into the pot.

Instantly, the originally golden rabbit heads were dyed a dark red, and a rich aroma exploded again.

"Lastly, for the meal's beverage, it's the Rainbow Fruit Juice I specially concocted!"

He scooped the Spicy Rabbit Heads out of the pot and piled them into a small pyramid on an iron plate, resembling a trophy mound.

Immediately after, Zhao Tao took out various spirit fruits, skillfully chopped them, and put them into the juicer.

As the several spirit fruits mixed, a colorful juice flowed out of the juicer's spout, emitting a very pleasant mixed fruit fragrance, which Zhao Tao bottled in a jade pot.

"Done, all finished!"

Clapping his hands, Zhao Tao held the cake that had finished baking in the oven, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie carried the iron plate holding the small mountain of Spicy Rabbit Heads, and Gu Yue held the jade pot filled with Rainbow Fruit Juice.

The four of them excitedly walked out of the kitchen, ready to feast.
