Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 8: The Beginning of an 8-Day Dream - The Model Worker

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest to a certain distance, Xiao Qiang calculated that he didn't need to worry about meeting Huo Yuhao or Electrolux suddenly taking Tianmeng away for the time being. He then went to a barbecue restaurant to prepare to carry out his next plan.

"One serving of beef, one serving of lamb, and one serving of lettuce, please."

Xiao Qiang revealed his three spirit rings—two yellow and one purple—to demonstrate his status as a Soul Master and prevent the shopkeeper from shortchanging him. Then, he prepared some dipping sauce and began grilling the meat.

When the lamb is sizzling and dripping with oil, pick it up, dip it in some sauce, wrap it in lettuce, and use it to cut through the grease and prevent the freshly cooked lamb from being too hot.

"Not bad, this tastes good."

After confirming that the barbecue at this restaurant tasted good, Xiao Qiang continued grilling meat while sinking part of his consciousness into his spiritual sea to wake up the sleeping Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

"Tianmeng, wake up."

"What are you doing! Can't you see I'm sleeping?!"

Although Tianmeng was in the form of a large insect when she was suddenly awakened, Xiao Qiang could still see the impatience on her face, but he didn't care about it.

"That's right, Brother Tianmeng. I heard you say before that when you cultivated for a million years, you were almost always eating the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow. I've never eaten that kind of thing, but judging from the name, it should be something like ice. I guess that kind of thing probably doesn't taste very good."

"Thinking that you've only eaten that one kind of food all these years, I think you're a bit... oh no, I should say I want you to try our human food, maybe it will suit your taste."

Tianmeng was stunned by Xiao Qiang's words. "So you woke me up so I could taste human food?"

"Yeah, it's kind of boring to eat the same thing your whole life. Even if it's not tasteless like I expected, but actually delicious, you'll still get tired of it eventually. So I want you to try some things that I think are really good. Maybe you'll like them too."

"Um...sorry, I misunderstood you just now." Tianmeng looked embarrassed. At first, he thought Xiao Qiang was just making trouble for no reason.

"It's alright, use my body to taste it, I'm sure you'll like the flavor."

With her powerful mental strength, Tianmeng instantly understood how to use chopsticks. Just like Xiao Qiang, she dipped the grilled meat in the seasoning, wrapped it in lettuce, and put it in her mouth. In an instant, Tianmeng's eyes seemed to be shining.

"This...this...this is so delicious! How can there be something this delicious in the world!"

Tianmeng shouted excitedly. He felt that he had wasted the previous million years, as he had never eaten anything so delicious.

"I'm glad you like it." Xiao Qiang said slowly from the bottom of the sea of ​​consciousness.

Xiao Qiang had anticipated Tianmeng's appearance; a soul beast, a soul beast, is both a soul and a beast.

But every animal faces the same problem: their food contains almost no salt.

In nature, a sheep can spend thousands of years evolving the ability to walk freely on a rock face, just for a little salt on the rock.

Among carnivores, only the powerful ones will consume the entrails of their prey.

Foods that are disliked by many people in the human world for their fishy smell and other reasons are, in fact, delicacies enjoyed only by apex predators in the animal kingdom because of their high oil and salt content.

The reason is that the salt in the internal organs is extremely precious to animals and is difficult to obtain easily.

Therefore, the only difference between a wolf and a dog is an egg yolk pie. With just a meal high in oil, sugar, and salt, the saltless food of the past becomes extremely difficult to swallow.

After tasting delicacies that are impossible to find in nature, wolves obediently turn into dogs; this is almost an instinctive behavior of the creatures.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for Tianmeng to fall in love with the taste of human food after tasting it.

"Boss, give me five more servings of the same meat! No! Ten servings! And the same amount of lettuce!"

After quickly devouring all the meat, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, still wanting more, decided to have some extra food, but at that moment Xiao Qiang called him back.

"Um, Brother Tianmeng..."

"What's wrong?"

"That's right. Although I really want you to keep eating, Brother Tianmeng, my appetite is limited. If I were to eat ten times the amount I used to, my body simply couldn't handle it."

"This is indeed my problem. If only I could create a soul skill that enhances digestion, that would be great. Unfortunately, I am only a Soul Master now, and it is really beyond my ability to create a soul skill that enhances digestion."

Within her sea of ​​consciousness, Tianmeng fell into deep thought, her tiny hands cradling her enormous head as she pondered. "A soul skill that enhances digestion? If I were to create one..."

"Huh? Brother Tianmeng, you?" Inside his sea of ​​consciousness, Xiao Qiang looked at Tianmeng and his expression instantly changed to one of sudden realization.

"That's right! How could I forget about you, Brother Tianmeng! Creating your own soul skill is something that even a Title Douluo might not be able to guarantee 100% success with!"

"But who is Brother Tianmeng? The first million-year soul beast in the history of Douluo Continent! There has never been one before, and there will most likely never be one again. Others may not be able to do it, but Brother Tianmeng, do you really think you can't?"

"You're the only million-year-old soul beast on the Douluo Continent! Creating a soul skill is nothing to you! Ordinary 100,000, 200,000, 300,000, or even 400,000-year-old soul beasts might not be able to do it, but you're a million-year-old soul beast!"

"Putting everything else aside, just the fact that you created your own soul skill—once word gets out, which soul beast would dare look down on you? Could they possibly look down on you? Creating a soul skill that has nothing to do with you—who among them could do that!"

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, Xiao Qiang spoke with great emotion and stern words, causing Tianmeng Bingcan's intended refusal to get stuck in her throat and remain unspoken.

Disappointing those who trusted you so much made Tianmeng feel like slapping herself even in her sleep.

Furthermore, there's another point. One of Xiao Qiang's words struck a chord with him: if he created a soul skill unrelated to his own innate soul skill, which soul beast would dare to look down on him? Could they possibly look down on him?

He also wanted to be respected! Especially that one in the far north, Tianmeng almost dreamed of her respecting him.

Therefore, in this emotional state, in order to live up to Xiao Qiang's expectations and to win the praise of the Ice Emperor of the Far North, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm felt his blood rushing, as if nothing could stop him from creating that self-created soul skill.

"Xiao Qiang, don't worry! Just leave it to me! I'll show you what the power of a million-year-old soul beast really is!"

"I knew you could do it, Tianmeng! You truly are my Tianmeng brother!"

The plan is in place.
