Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 138 Wang Yan: How can Shrek Glory be considered cheating?

Wang Yan didn't care about these trivial matters. Now that he knew He Caitou was a food-type Soul Master, a bold idea popped into his head.

"Caitou, do you know what kind of Soul Master is most popular in the army? It's the food-type!"

"A powerful food-type Soul Master can even support the logistics of an army, and only a food-type Soul Master can perfectly integrate with the army."

"Your 10% improvement might be slightly less compared to support-type Soul Masters, but among food-type Soul Masters, you are a true genius!"

"Me, I'm a genius?" He Caitou stared blankly.

"Okay, let me ask you this: if there were no time limit, how many thick cigars could you make with all your current soul power?"

"I haven't tested it specifically, but there are definitely many. However, my thick cigars have a time limit; if you don't smoke them for two days, they lose their effect, which is much shorter than the storage time of normal cigars."

"Two days? You think that's too short?" Wang Yan was dumbfounded. "Food-type Soul Masters' Soul Skills are measured in hours. Being able to preserve something for more than three hours is already excellent, and being able to preserve it for twelve hours is genius. And now you're telling me you can preserve it for forty-eight hours?"

Wang Yan became more and more excited as he spoke, and the incredibly bold idea in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

Who says Shrek Academy can't win the championship?
"Hurry up and unleash the effects of your remaining three soul skills." Wang Yan even slammed his hand on the table and stood up, staring intently at He Caitou.

"Oh," He Caitou responded, and the remaining three spirit rings lit up one after another.

"I have a big cigar. I have a long cigar. I have a thin cigar!"

Three cigars of different sizes but basically the same color and style appeared in He Caitou's hands.

"My second soul skill is the Power Amplification Cigar, which can amplify strength. My third soul skill is the Defense Amplification Long Cigar, which can amplify defense. The last one is the Soul Power Amplification Thin Cigar, but since it's useless to me, I've never used it. If you want to know how much amplification it provides, you'll have to use it yourselves."

After introducing his soul skills, He Caitou noticed that Wang Yan's eyes had completely changed, filled with extreme regret.

"Alright, He Caitou, now you make ten sets of cigars for us to try."

"Teacher Wang, can I not take it?" Bei Bei asked with a displeased expression.

“No, everyone must try,” Wang Yan said. “This is my order. With the boost from Cai Tou’s cigars, your strength will improve considerably!”

"Moreover, these cigars can be stored for two days, and each of you can choose which one to use according to your own needs. This could become a powerful weapon for you on the field!"

Upon receiving Wang Yan's order, He Caitou quickly unleashed his soul skills, releasing them dozens of times in a row—something virtually impossible for other support-type soul masters.

The long table in the conference room was immediately filled with a pile of cigars.

Xu Sanshi immediately grabbed a few different cigars and grinned wickedly at Beibei, saying, "Beibei, good brothers should share the good times, don't be shy. Actually, they taste pretty good, let's all have a share and enjoy Caitou's cigars together."

"Xu Sanshi, no one will think you're mute if you don't speak!" Jiang Nannan suddenly burst out, angrily scolding Xu Sanshi. Only then did Xu Sanshi realize that his joke had gone a bit too far, and he awkwardly shut his mouth.

Wang Yan immediately lit a cigar and took a deep drag.

The three inner disciples didn't seem to care much and each picked up a cigar.

Soon, several cigars were gone from the table, but Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao didn't make a move.

Wang Dong'er didn't really care about the so-called soul curse; she simply didn't want to smoke and didn't like the feeling of smoking.

She knew that He Caitou's soul skill enhancement was quite impressive, and that was enough, since she wouldn't need it anyway.

Moreover, she believes that she is the most important person in the world, and she would never compromise herself if she was unhappy about something.

As for Xiao Xiao, she simply followed Wang Dong'er's lead. If Wang Dong'er was unhappy, then she was unhappy too.

Through the attempts of others, the amplification of He Caitou's soul skill was also discovered, with a general increase of around 10%. For different soul masters, some cigars had even stronger amplification effects.

For example, Xu Sanshi, as a defensive-type Soul Master, can receive a boost of more than 10% from defensive cigars.

Wang Yan attributed Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao's stubbornness to their girlish reserve and sensitivity. After failing to persuade them, he had no choice but to compromise and say, "Since you are unwilling, then forget it. However, you should still prepare a copy. Look, even Jiang Nannan kept a copy."

Wang Dong'er, who had been silent since the beginning of the meeting, finally looked at Wang Yan and asked softly, "Teacher Wang Yan, what is the purpose of preparing this cigar?"

"Of course it's for use on the competition field!" Wang Yan said without hesitation.

"These cigars can last for two days. He Caitou's abilities are all in his soul tools, and no one knows he's a food-type soul master. For the seven of you, this is practically equivalent to having another soul master join your team!"

"If I remember correctly, according to the competition rules, well... no, it's not exactly the competition rules, but basically any competition, there are explicit rules that food-type Soul Masters are not allowed to stockpile food in advance for use on the field."

Wang Dong'er's speech was not fast, but steady and powerful, yet it delivered a fatal blow.

"Teacher Wang Yan, do you mean we should cheat to win in a continent-wide tournament like the Soul Master competition, right in front of the Star Luo Emperor, other participating academies, and countless spectators?"

"Nonsense!" Wang Yan slammed his hand on the long table and frowned. "This concerns the honor of Shrek Academy. You are all just reserve team members. If you really encounter a strong academy, do you think you can still rely on the prestige that Shrek Academy has accumulated to eliminate them without them knowing your abilities, just like you did a few days ago?"

"Besides, I'm just telling you to keep these in reserve for use in emergencies. How can that be related to cheating in the competition?"

Xiao Xiao's lips twitched, barely able to contain herself. Just moments before, this teacher, whom she had initially thought was quite good, had uttered the words "for use on the competition field."

Shrek Academy is just a bunch of puppets and parasites being controlled.
Moreover, wasn't Dong'er, her, and Huo Yuhao the ones who cooperated better and made greater contributions in the first round of the competition?
What does it mean to "rely on the prestige accumulated by Shrek Academy"?
"Victory and honor belong to you. Defeat and shame belong to me." Xuanzi's words still echoed in Xiao Xiao's ears, making her feel utterly disgusted.
