Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 356 Scooping Meat Buns with a Rice Spoon

As soon as he finished speaking, before the referee could react, the Soul King from Blazing Fire Academy turned and walked off the stage with a flourish.

"They really... teamed up!"

Upon seeing this, Yi Shuihan frowned and sighed inwardly.

Although he was worried about this when the draw took place yesterday, he did not expect that before he could even show his strength, the other side had already joined forces without any concealment.

"Boss, what do you mean?"

The members of the Eating and Drinking Team gathered around Yi Shuihan, and one of them asked who should be sent out.

They had only one minute left, so after a moment's thought, Yi Shuihan made a decisive decision:
"The captain of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not only a Soul Saint, but also has a 100,000-year Soul Ring."

"Even I am not confident of winning in a one-on-one situation."

"In this game, we should exchange pieces. None of the four of us will play. Anyway, we have three substitutes out of seven, while they have seven starters."

"We'll exchange tiles for tiles, and no matter which three we exchange, we'll still make a huge profit."

After saying that, Yi Shuihan sent out the weakest of the three substitutes, a Soul Master with a Soul Power of Level 44.

As soon as the Soul Master appeared, he followed the example of the Soul King who appeared from the Four Elements Academy and admitted defeat without the slightest hesitation.

The moment he stepped onto the stage, before he could even put his back down, he shouted the words "I surrender!" Then, the foot that had been on the stage smoothly made a 180-degree turn, and he hurriedly returned to the area where the Eat & Drink team was located.

"..."

The onlookers were speechless.

The team had a total of seven members, and the individual competition would consist of at least seven rounds of matches, with three matches per round. However, the first round ended without any of the three matches being played.

The first round has ended, and the second round has begun.

According to the individual competition rules, it was the turn of the Four Elements Academy, which drew the number one spot, to send a challenger to challenge the current champion of the arena.

"Why didn't they go up themselves? Are they hiding their strength, or do they think they can't beat Miss Yun, so they're backing down?"

Feng Xiaotian remained skeptical, and quickly considered the matter in his mind:

"So you're exchanging players, huh? Anyway, you only have three substitute players, and the remaining four players are all inheritors of divine power. I only have myself on my side, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School only has three."

"In other words, I can exchange six, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can exchange four, and you can only exchange three at most. Playing the exchange game? There will always be a time when you can't afford to play it."

After figuring it out, Feng Xiaotian randomly assigned a Soul King from the Divine Wind Academy to the team.

The current champion on the arena is Yun Hui, the captain of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's seed team. He cannot and will not lose, so this Soul King naturally shouted his surrender as soon as he stepped onto the arena.

In the second round, the Four Elements Academy, which drew the number one lot, conceded defeat and went to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which drew the number two lot.

The reigning champion, Yun Hui, comes from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Therefore, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can choose to replace him or have Yun Hui continue to defend the title.

"The method of exchanging pieces is good, but if we keep doing it, the game will be delayed and it will inevitably become boring."

Ning Rongrong sat demurely, glanced indifferently in the direction of the Eating and Drinking Team, and said to Oscar beside her:

"Xiao Ao, you go ahead. As a food-type Soul King, if they have any guts, they can successfully lure out any one of the four of them."

"As you command, Your Majesty."

Oscar, feigning seriousness, performed a rather imperfect chivalrous salute.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School made a substitution, replacing Yunhui with Oscar.

"I remember this pretty boy is the Soul King."

Yi Shuihan glanced at Oscar and immediately remembered the number of Soul Rings the other had displayed during the competition.

Oscar hadn't revealed his martial spirit in previous matches, so Yi Shuihan didn't know his strength. But since the opponent was only a Soul King, it was unlikely that he was a successor of a god.

After clarifying his thoughts, Yi Shuihan decided against sending the remaining two substitute players up as decoys. Instead, he turned to the fat man beside him and said:
"Xiao Wei, you're up this round."

Xiao Wei, full name Xu Wei, martial soul is Wine-Hearted Meat Bun, nineteen and a half years old, level sixty-two Soul Emperor, inheritor of the God of Gluttony.

Among the four inheritors of the divine power, Xu Wei is the weakest in combat strength because he is a food-type soul master.

But as weak as it may be, that is only relative to the three inheritors of the gods.

That pretty boy from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is just a Soul King, while their fat guy Xu Wei is a Soul Emperor. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, taking him down shouldn't be a problem.

After a while.

Oscar looked at the enormous, overweight man in front of him and thought to himself:

"So fat! With such a physique, he must be the inheritor of the God of Gluttony, one of the four gods of the Eating and Drinking Team."

"What kind of martial soul will the inheritor of the God of Gluttony possess?"

He quickly recalled several types of spirit beasts with particularly large appetites, wondering which type the fat man's spirit was.

Unlike team competitions, there are no referees to announce the start of the individual competition.

The moment both sides fully step into the ring, the match begins.

Therefore, after Xu Wei stepped onto the arena with both feet, he and Oscar immediately released their spirit rings.

Oscar: Yellow, purple, black, the five-ring soul king.

Xu Wei: Yellow, purple, black, six-ring Soul Emperor.

"No martial spirit revealed?"

Oscar was startled. This meant that Xu Wei's martial soul was not one of the beast martial souls he had just guessed.

Before he could think any further, Xu Wei automatically gave the answer.

"A fragrant meat bun filled with the aroma of fine wine!"

Xu Wei's six spirit rings flashed one after another, and then three hot steamed buns appeared in each of his hands.

Steam rose and dissipated, carrying a faint, intoxicating aroma of wine.

The aroma of wine permeated the air. Upon closer inspection, one would discover that the aroma was a blend of six different wine scents, each corresponding perfectly to one of the six large meat buns in Xu Wei's hand.

"Steamed buns? A food-type martial soul?"

Oscar was extremely surprised.

He never imagined that, besides himself, there would be other food-type Soul Masters in the world who could receive divine inheritance.

The fat man looked to be only three or four years older than him, probably around twenty.

Such a young food-type Soul Emperor, even with the factor of divine inheritance, should have innate soul power no less than level nine, otherwise he would not have been favored by divine inheritance.

"However, since it's a food-type martial soul, then... tsk tsk tsk!"

Thinking of this, Oscar revealed a strange smile, his lips curving upwards.

Just as Xu Wei opened his mouth wide, ready to swallow six large meat buns filled with liquor in one go, Oscar, sitting opposite him, pulled out a wooden rice spoon as tall as himself from behind his back.

"You wretched creature, get in my bowl!"

Oscar held the God of Cookery's giant rice spoon and made a scooping motion in the air. The six meat-filled buns that Xu Wei had tossed into the air appeared in the giant rice spoon.
