In truth, Shao Xin had underestimated himself.
His value lay not in combat, but in logistics.
As a food-type Limit Douluo, his Soul Skills were useful even to other Limit Douluo. He could even supply an entire sect with food on his own. That would ease financial pressure considerably, making him exactly the kind of talent the major powers—already short on money—wanted to recruit.
That was why Tang Chen, Yu Yuanzhen, and the others treated Shao Xin with respect.
Though Shao Xin belonged to Shrek and had a poor relationship with the World-Destroying Thunder Dragon Sect, Yu Yuanzhen remained courteous to him.
After all, it was Tang San who had angered him. The Clear Sky Sect and Sea God Church had openly backed Tang San at the time, but Shao Xin had not, nor had Oscar. Until relations broke down completely, Yu Yuanzhen would not make things difficult for him.
Shao Xin was a little flustered at first, but he soon accepted his new position.
He was now the Food God High Priest. He represented not only himself, but also the Food God. He could hardly keep treading on eggshells after taking the role, could he?
Wouldn't that bring shame upon the Food God?
Of course, Shao Xin still did not know that the Food God served the Asura God, or that he was only a Second-Level God, weaker than the patrons behind everyone present. Otherwise, he would still have felt somewhat constrained.
After Shao Xin left with Tang Chen and the others, the Shrek group continued toward the arena.
Once they arrived, the day's Promotion Tournament matches began.
Shao Xin's appearance surprised everyone. Many recognized him as a Shrek teacher, but they could not understand why a mere Soul Sage was seated in the same row as Tang Chen
