Douluo Dragon King: One-Sword Soul Douluo, Shadow of the End of Dharma

A top-tier support-type Soul Master.

The group exchanged glances, but Xie Xie couldn't contain his curiosity and asked first:

"Captain, aren't food-type Soul Masters only given temporary buffs? I saw in our textbook that..."

"The book also says that Blue Silver Grass is the worst martial soul. Can you beat Tang Wulin?"

"Waaah~"

Xie Xie lowered his head in frustration, having been subjected to another personal attack for no reason.

Even dragon claws have appeared, does that confirm that this guy's martial soul is really Blue Silver Grass...?

"There are many types of food-type Soul Masters. In the past, not all Soul Masters could grow up to be able to do so, so the current theoretical level is not yet perfect."

"Through experiments, only these members of the troupe were able to produce permanent effects. Most of them had relatively small improvements, but they could accumulate over time."

"Cherish every meal here; it will be of great benefit to you in the future."

Bai Ye calmly took a sip of water. He had put a lot of effort into training these food-type soul masters, and many of them had their levels artificially boosted.

The benefits are also obvious – this group of chefs can achieve twice the result with half the effort when training newcomers.

The only problem is finding the right ingredients.

Tap~ Tap~

Soon, a medium-sized meal was placed in front of each person—various kinds of fried and stewed meats and vegetables, with a spoonful of meat juice ladled on rice, emitting an enticing aroma.

Even the rice was plump and full, clearly not the kind you eat normally.

Everyone swallowed hard, but Bai Ye remained silent, and no one dared to pick up their chopsticks first.

"What are you waiting for? Eat it while it's hot."

Bai Ye scooped up a spoonful of rice and put it in his mouth, and immediately the sound of the little guys scrambling around him filled the air.

Gu Yue and Xing Yuan were relatively reserved, but they didn't stop their hand gestures. The others, however, were basically showing off their bowls.

Especially her own little apprentice, whose wild and unrestrained eating habits were unlike those of a girl. Her cheeks were bulging from eating so much that she looked more like a squirrel.

It looks alright, though.

Bai Ye ate a couple of bites casually and pushed the rest of the food in front of his disciple.

"Master, please fix it..."

"I had an extra meal tonight."

In no time, everyone had finished their lunchboxes.

"My body feels warm and cozy... If I could eat this kind of thing every day, I could increase my soul power even without cultivating, right?"

Xie Xie muttered to himself, feeling like he had never eaten so much in his life. It was as if there was a furnace burning inside his stomach, constantly refining his soul power.

The ingredients are few in number, but each one is a luxurious and nourishing food that ordinary forces would have no way of obtaining.

In this era, there are very few spirit beasts left. Apart from the far north and the deep sea, edible spirit beasts on the continent have almost disappeared, making every ingredient extremely precious.

"Wait, aren't you full yet?"

Xie Xie turned his head and suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone looked over and saw Tang Wulin put down her food, lick the grease from the corner of her mouth, looking like she still wanted more.

Is this guy's stomach a bottomless pit?!

Everyone silently complained, but Gu Yue nodded thoughtfully, as if she had guessed what was going on.

The Golden Dragon King's bloodline has an extremely high reciprocal effect on its host, but correspondingly, the consumption of qi and blood is dozens of times greater than that of ordinary people.

It seems that her bloodline is already highly bound to her.

"No, that's not true! I'm full."

Tang Wulin quickly wiped her mouth. How could she not see how precious these foods were? What if she ate too much and bankrupted her master?

Being able to eat until I'm 70% full every day is already a blessing.

"Bring Black Gold over."

Bai Ye stopped the cook who came to collect the lunch boxes and gestured for him to go back inside again.

This portion is basically enough for the rest of the people, but the youngest apprentice will probably need an extra meal.

A few seconds later, the man in the black chef's uniform strode over and greeted him with a grin:

"Commander, don't you have an appetite for today's dishes?"

"Extra meal."

"what?"

Black Gold was taken aback, clearly not expecting the little guys to have extra food.

The ingredients he prepared for this meal were all of the thousand-year level. Normally, even a Soul Master or Soul King would need several days to digest just one serving, otherwise their cultivation would easily become disordered.

Could it be that the guild leader is currently undergoing a breakthrough?

"Didn't you understand?"

"I understand! Give me ten minutes."

Black Gold quickly disappeared into the kitchen, where a commotion comparable to a battle was once again heard.

Just then, a slender hand gently tugged at the hem of his clothes.

"Actually, I'm almost there, Master~"

"If you're not full, you're not full. What do you mean by 'almost'?"

Bai Ye frowned, gently pinching and kneading that soft little face:

"Can't I even afford to feed you one meal?"

"No……"

"Then let's eat."

Tang Wulin gave a vague reply, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart. It wasn't the kinship of blood, but rather something more forbidden...

Master is the best!

On the other side, Xie Xie suddenly nudged Gu Yue's hand, his tone mysterious:

"Hey, don't you think Mai Rin and the leader have a really good relationship, like they're a biological daughter...?"

"What does this have to do with me?"

Gu Yue stared coldly at the two's intimate actions, and the strange emotions in her heart grew stronger, making her extremely irritated.

Human emotions are indeed a burden.

How could I possibly be bound by something like this? It's just a temporary measure...

"Then why are you wearing that long face? It's like someone owes you money."

"What's it to you?"

"You... Tch!"

Xie Xie snorted and turned his head away, secretly feeling a little envious of the relationship between the leader and Tang Wulin.

Since her mother passed away, she hadn't eaten with her father for a long time, so seeing this scene naturally brought back memories and made her feel a little sad.

Tap~ Tap~

Less than ten minutes later, Hei Jin personally brought over a large plate of purple and white fish meat and placed it in front of Bai Ye to show off his achievement:

"The white fins are from the far north. These creatures were almost extinct ten thousand years ago. Fortunately, the guild has been breeding them recently and managed to get some."

"Please try my cooking, team leader!"

"Um."

Bai Ye nodded, took out a plate from the side, put a few slices on each person, and pushed the rest in front of his little apprentice.

"Try them all."

"Thank you, Commander!"

Xie Xie and the others stared wide-eyed. The essence and flesh of a thousand-year-old soul beast—even the noble lords of yesteryear wouldn't dare to eat it like that!

Even Xingyuan rarely gets to eat this kind of thing, since it's so rare that money can't buy it anymore.

Gu Yue, however, remained expressionless, staring blankly at the fish on the plate, a barely perceptible sadness flashing in her eyes.

She pushed the plate back to the other person:

"I'm stuffed."

Bai Ye didn't insist, and pushed the remaining fish to Xie Xie, leaving the latter looking bewildered.

"Keep pushing, don't stay at the bottom forever."

"……yes!"

Xie Xie, who was already struggling, suddenly felt a surge of fighting spirit upon hearing these words.

Since fate is willing to play tricks on us, we're determined not to let it have its way!

So what if twin martial souls have flaws?

You can succeed just as well as I do!

She was silently cheering herself on when she turned around and saw that Tang Wulin's plate was already more than half empty, leaving her dumbfounded.

"This guy's martial soul shouldn't be Blue Silver Grass; it should be the Gluttonous Beast..."

P.S.: I feel that "Gluttony Douluo" is more suitable for the original novel's 50 chapters.
