A Bite of Douluo Continent

First, a diner in one of the private rooms became more irritable. He pushed aside the waiter, walked out of the room, and loudly demanded a refund.

When Zhao Fenglai found out, she rushed over and, in order to minimize the impact, managed to get the money back from him after much persuasion.

However, soon the diners in the other private rooms heard the noise and opened their doors to take a look.

Good guy!

The diner was yelling for a refund, and then the owner obediently came to refund the money. He complained in the private room for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him.

Should I give it a try?

This hot-tempered diner set the best example for other indignant diners.

So the angry diners rushed out of the private room one by one and found Zhao Fenglai.

Surrounded by diners, Zhao Fenglai's face was filled with despair.

He had just come out of the private room of Deputy Director Li of the Executive Yuan with a forced smile, and he was already in a bad mood.

He had gone to great lengths to curry favor with Deputy Director Li, but he was furious because the new dishes at the restaurant weren't tasty enough.

Deputy Director Li didn't have to pay; Zhao Fenglai paid for everything to curry favor with him. But he felt he had lost face by serving such dishes to his relatives and friends!

He then proceeded to hurl a torrent of abuse at Zhao Fenglai, his expression growing even colder.

It's easy to imagine that I'll have to go to their door to apologize and give them gifts before I can even let this matter go.

Before he could even calm down, he encountered something like this again. At this moment, even if he was very patient, he couldn't hold back anymore.

Zhao Fenglai roared, "Don't even think about getting a refund! You ordered these dishes yourselves!"

After uttering those words, Zhao Fenglai immediately realized his mistake, and an embarrassed look appeared on his face. "Distinguished guests, what I meant was..."

However, explanations were useless; Zhao Fenglai's words completely ignited the suppressed emotions of countless angry diners.

"Smash the shop!"

An angry voice roared from the crowd, and everyone snapped out of their daze. They stopped surrounding Zhao Fenglai and turned to smash the luxurious decorations inside the store.

"No, no..." Zhao Fenglai's face was pale and bloodless as he watched the crowd smash things. His heart was bleeding.

However, he dared not go forward.

Zhao Fenglai has no soul power; he's just an ordinary person. The diners who are currently vandalizing the place are all powerful soul masters. If he went up there, he would be beaten to death.

Someone kicked him hard, and Zhao Fenglai seemed oblivious to it, lying on the ground for a long time without getting up. His eyes went from being filled with grief to slowly becoming blank.

Many diners did not order this dish and did not participate in the vandalism, but in such a chaotic situation, they could no longer enjoy their food in peace and scattered and left the store.

Not satisfied with the vandalism, some diners, driven by greed, began to steal the gold notes from Zhao Fenglai's cash register.

During such a grand event as the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, countless people came to Star Luo City from all over the Douluo Continent, making the composition of the participants extremely complex.

Soul Masters are not necessarily all good people.

During the Cold Food Festival, Tang Qianqiu's spear still held considerable power, so they could only behave themselves.

But in Fenglai Pavilion, amidst such chaos, the evil within them broke free of its shackles.

Seeing that the chaos was escalating, the law enforcement officers from the Enforcement Division arrived late and began to intervene.

The diners who were just smashing things scattered like birds and beasts, running away as fast as they could, leaving only the ruins on the ground and Zhao Fenglai lying there all alone, looking blank.

One of the law enforcement officers, unable to bear the sight, helped Zhao Fenglai up.

Zhao Fenglai glanced blankly at his own shop.

The shop, which he was so proud of and had spent a fortune decorating, is now in ruins, a scene of utter desolation.

Why did it have to come to this!

I... just sold dishes at high prices, just like the Cold Food Festival.

That's really all.

How could it have turned out like this?

Chapter 195 Gulu's Innate Ability

A thousand-year-old purgatory bull charged towards Qi Han with countless flames, but Qi Han nimbly dodged it. His third soul ring lit up, and the blade of the kitchen knife in his hand seemed to have a layer of flowing fiery red light.

The first spirit ring shone brightly again, and Qi Han swung his blade at the Purgatory Bull in mid-air. The originally cold blade light was now completely transformed into a flame more than ten meters long under the effect of the third spirit skill. The flame was almost solidified, and the terrifying high temperature distorted the surrounding air.

The Hellfire Bull roared in alarm and rage, its body erupting with fiery red flames. Seeing that it was too late to dodge, it did not hesitate to use its hardest horns to meet the terrifying flame blade.

However, the scene that the Hellfire Bull imagined—its proud, hard horns successfully blocking the opponent's attack—did not materialize.

The flames transformed into blades that sliced ​​through solidified butter with almost no resistance, cleanly severing the horns of the Hellfire Bull. The cut surfaces were almost melted, and a burnt smell slowly wafted out.

"Moo!"

The Hellfire Bull let out a low growl of shock and anger, almost terrified by the power of Qi Han's single strike. If it hadn't reacted quickly and turned its head at the last moment, its head would probably have been severed along with its horns.

Its most powerful horns were severed, and it hastily retreated, turning around and fleeing for its life.

Qi Han watched it gradually disappear into the distance, but did not continue to pursue it.

After all, Qi Han only sought it out to practice his skills and had no intention of killing it.

Slowly sheathing the cleaver, Qi Han glanced at the sky and then entered the system space in the next instant.

He spent an afternoon searching for thousand-year-old soul beasts to hone his soul skills, and finally mastered his current three thousand-year-old soul skills.

First Soul Skill: One Cut in Two. Its effect is simple: to unleash an extremely sharp blade of light that can attack opponents from a distance. With the current power of Qi Han's thousand-year soul skill, this soul skill can unleash a blade of light ten meters long, and its attack power is enough to pose a considerable threat to any thousand-year soul beast.

Second Soul Skill: Thousandfold Blade Shadows. This Soul Skill is an explosive Soul Skill that can instantly unleash a large number of blade shadows. Each blade shadow has 20% of the power of a full-force attack. When they are stacked together, their power is extremely terrifying. Currently, the Thousandfold Blade Shadows at the thousand-year level can unleash one hundred blade shadows, which, when stacked, cause a twenty-fold power amplification.

It is worth mentioning that after Qi Han practiced repeatedly, he discovered that the second soul skill could be used in combination with the first soul skill. He could unleash a hundred weaker blade beams, which, when combined, would create an attack with twenty times the power of the first soul skill itself.

Of course, such a combination consumes an extremely terrifying amount of soul power. Qi Han's soul power at level 33 is already quite substantial, but if he uses the first and second soul skills together, he will also deplete his soul power in an instant.

However, as Qi Han's soul power level increases, this strike will become easier to execute.

The newly acquired third soul skill, Crimson Fire Blade, also gave Qi Han a pleasant surprise.

This skill creates a flowing layer of flaming blade light on the blade, dealing fire damage to the attacked enemy. It can also be stacked with the first two soul skills.

The result of combining it with the first soul skill was that the blade light that slashed at the Hellfire Bull just now turned into an extremely solid flame. The temperature at that moment was almost close to that of the ultimate fire. It was already extremely sharp, and with this terrifying high temperature, its power was amplified.

When combined with the second soul skill, it can unleash a hundred fiery blade shadows, which also greatly increases its power.

Qi Han hasn't yet tested the effect of combining the three soul skills together.

The combination of the first and second soul skills was enough to drain Qi Han's soul power in an instant. If the third soul skill were added, he would probably be drained before he could even unleash the strike.

Perhaps, I'll only be able to do this when I reach the fourth ring road (a key part of the ring road in China).

In just one afternoon, Qi Han had become thoroughly familiar with all his soul skills and the effects of different combinations of soul skills, which was quite a fruitful result. After entering the training space, he was about to continue practicing how to make Qing Palace Ten Thousand Blessing Meat when Ruyi called him back.

"Gulu is awake." With a wave of Ruyi's hand, Gulu suddenly appeared in the training space.

"How could it be so fast?" Qi Han asked in astonishment.

Isn't it said that deep meditation under natural conditions can last for a long time?

“You spent an afternoon outside, and I put Gulu in the system space with a time flow rate of 120 times. How long has it been?” Hearing this, Ruyi couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “It’s been a month. It’s normal for deep meditation to end.”

It seems... that's really true.

Qi Han scratched his head, only then realizing this.

"Meow!"

Perhaps because it hadn't seen its owner for a long time, Gulu seemed very excited. It jumped off the table and ran straight into Qi Han's arms.

Qi Han instinctively hugged him, then a strange look appeared on his face.

In just a few hours, the little guy has grown a lot bigger, and his weight has doubled.

"During this month of deep meditation, it not only fully awakened its innate abilities, but also absorbed all the nutrients that had been stored in its body before," Ruyi explained, noticing Qi Han's confusion.

During the past month, Ruyi had been keeping a close eye on Gulu, so she naturally knew what had happened.

Talent or ability?

Qi Han recalled Gulu's sudden outburst before entering deep meditation, and a hint of interest appeared in his eyes. "Gulu, show me your talent again, shall we?"

Gulu's magical ability at that time was almost indistinguishable from teleportation, but teleportation cannot carry people, yet Gulu could teleport Qi Han along with him, which was obviously not that simple.

"Meow!" Gulu climbed from Qi Han's arms onto his shoulder, shook its body slightly, and seemed to have layers of mist falling from its fluffy and soft fur. The next moment, Qi Han felt his perspective change and saw another version of himself.

This time, Qi Han was mentally prepared and quickly reacted. He reached out and touched his counterpart with interest. The clone, like a bubble that had been popped, quickly turned into a cloud of mist and dissipated.

"Gulu, can you use this ability continuously?" Qi Han was delighted and couldn't help but want to explore further.

Gulu nodded, then teleported with Qi Han again, shaking his head slightly after doing so twice.

Qi Han then understood that Gulu could not use this ability to teleport people indefinitely; it could only be used three times in a short period of time.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Teleporting with others would definitely consume a lot of energy. If it could be used frequently, that would be terrible.

"Meow~"

Gulu lightly leaped down from Qi Han's shoulder and sat gracefully on the table. A few misty clouds appeared in its eyes. Then, as if its soul had left its body, a phantom Gulu formed from the mist peeled off its body and slowly solidified until it was almost identical to its original body.

This is… Qi Han's eyes widened in surprise.

Is this Gulu's second innate ability?

Immediately afterward, a thought popped into Qi Han's mind.

In that case, wouldn't Gulu be able to carry the dishes as well as two people?

Chapter 196 The Unlearnable Four-Star Recipe

After some research and experimentation, Qi Han and Gulu quickly reached a consensus on naming Gulu's two innate abilities.

The first ability, which allows for teleportation and the ability to teleport others, was named "Mist Flash" by Qi Han. Although this ability consumes a lot of resources when carrying others and cannot be used many times in a short period of time, if it is used by Gulu alone without Qi Han, the consumption will be much less, allowing for continuous teleportation.

Without a doubt, this is an extremely versatile and amazing skill.
