A Bite of Douluo Continent

The so-called martial spirit is actually the power hidden deep in one's bloodline, and each person's martial spirit is closely related to their own bloodline.

This is also why martial spirits can be inherited, and why martial spirits among relatives are extremely similar.

As for the mutation of martial soul, it is similar to the situation of gene mutation.

Enhancing one's bloodline power is equivalent to purifying the inherited power of one's martial spirit within one's own bloodline. The most direct feedback result is that the martial spirit is strengthened to a certain extent.

No matter how powerful other forces are, the foundation of a Soul Master is ultimately the Martial Soul itself. Therefore, enhancing the Martial Soul to a certain extent is extremely suitable for any Soul Master.

Undoubtedly, even though the improvement from the Jade Dragon Tendon is limited for most Soul Masters, the fact that it can enhance the Martial Soul itself is enough to make people flock to it.

Not to mention it's cheaper than other three-star dishes.

And it tastes delicious too.

While Qi Han was tasting the food, all four employees had arrived and were standing outside the door waiting for him to open it.

After glancing at the time, Qi Han got up and opened the door.

"Good afternoon, boss!" x4

After closing the shop door again, Qi Han nodded calmly in response to the greetings from the four girls, and then said, "We have new dishes for lunch."

Except for Ping Xinyan, who hadn't tried the new dish yet, the other three girls' eyes lit up instantly.

"And... I plan to make the Wensi Tofu again today at noon."

Fuya and Ji Yunruo, who had failed to comprehend the art of refining power like silk last time, now had an even brighter light in their eyes.

Ping Xinyan blinked her big eyes, a look of confusion on her face.

New dish... what's wrong?

What is Wensi Tofu? Why have I never heard of it?

A whole bunch of question marks suddenly popped into her little head.

Chapter 256 Ying Shuangshuang's Strange Change

Ping Xinyan's doubts didn't last long. After she vaguely followed the three women to choose her own work meal, the other three women explained the whole story to her while Qi Han went into the kitchen to cook.

After understanding the situation, she became excited as well.

Is it really possible to have such a good job as an employee in a small shop?

Not only can you be the first to try every new dish when it's first launched, but you can even get to eat new dishes that the owner hasn't launched yet?

Only then did she realize that, in addition to the many dishes hanging on the wall, the owner actually had new dishes that had not yet been introduced.

What is this called?

This is called a draft stockpile!

Today, she can enjoy a feast, eating two new dishes that other diners can't get her hands on!

What is this like?

It's like a reader who sneaks a peek at an author's draft!

Just thinking about this made Ping Xinyan's heart start pounding.

So exciting!

Moreover, the three women told her more than just that; they also told her about the special effects of the Wensi Tofu dish from before.

According to the three women, the dish called Wensi Tofu not only tasted excellent, but also had extremely magical special effects.

After eating Wensi Tofu, one can comprehend a magical secret technique called "Refining Power Like Silk," but this is only possible with a certain probability and is not absolute.

During the last food tasting, only Ying Shuangshuang among the three women comprehended the technique. Two days later, Ying Shuangshuang completely mastered the secret method. According to Ying Shuangshuang herself, since learning the "Refining Power Like Silk" technique, her strength has increased by a full 20%!

This not only made Fuya and Ji Yunruo, who had already eaten it but hadn't been able to appreciate its flavor, extremely envious, but also made Ping Xinyan, who hadn't eaten it yet, very excited.

I'm a fairy!

Fairies are always very lucky!

Therefore, I'm sure I can get it in one shot!

The four didn't have to wait long before Qi Han came out carrying four portions of jade dragon tendons.

Having seen many grand occasions, the four women were no longer shocked by the strange phenomenon; at most, they could only appreciate it in their hearts.

As four extraordinary phenomena—water, sky, fish, dragon, and dance—rose up, the four women quickly regained their composure and looked at the jade dragon tendon in front of them.

"Well…"

Looking at the soft and delicious-looking jade dragon tendon, Ping Xinyan couldn't help but secretly swallow.

As more and more dishes that produce unusual phenomena are introduced in Qi Han's restaurant, the diners in Shrek City have privately categorized these dishes as "Odd Phenomenon Dishes".

Some diners also call them "purple brand dishes".

The former is naturally because these dishes can produce magical phenomena, while the latter is because the price tags for these dishes are unique, all being purple and standing out prominently on the price list wall.

Ping Xinyan had never been able to eat a purple-brand dish before. She was reluctant to spend so much money on a dish before, but now that she was a waitress at the small shop, she felt embarrassed to have such expensive dishes as her work meals.

Although Qi Han didn't display the dish in front of her with a purple price tag, it was clearly a purple-label dish since it could produce magical phenomena. This was the first time Ping Xinyan had eaten such an expensive dish, so she naturally felt a little uneasy.

Ping Xinyan carefully picked up a small section of dragon tendon with her chopsticks. Watching the tendon twitch slightly with each movement of the chopsticks, her eyes lit up.

It feels so soft and chewy.

The feeling was somewhat similar to the pork tripe in the pork tripe chicken soup, but the tendon in front of me was much softer and more tender than that pork tripe, and it was also more appealing.

As the chopsticks slowly moved closer, Xin Yan could see more and more details of the dragon tendons, which had a texture like beautiful jade.

The shape is slightly curled and coiled, and the soup on the surface is slightly trembling.

Meanwhile, an even stronger aroma was constantly assaulting her olfactory nerves.

Ugh... I can't take it anymore, I can't hold back.

Ping Xinyan put the dragon tendon she had picked up into her mouth, her slightly puffed-up cheeks twitched, and the next moment her big eyes suddenly lit up with a bright light.

So delicious!

Compared to the one- or two-star dishes she had eaten at Hanshi before, the difference in taste between the three-star dishes and those dishes was extremely obvious.

Even diners who aren't particularly knowledgeable about food can clearly conclude after trying both that the three-star restaurant's dishes are more delicious.

She used to think that her daily work meals were the most delicious food in the world, but after tasting this jade dragon tendon, she realized that poverty had limited her imagination.

The soft and chewy tendon in your mouth has a slightly bouncy texture, and as you chew it, it continuously releases the umami flavor it contains, making that delicious feeling linger on your tongue for a longer time.

As soon as the dragon tendon entered her stomach, Ping Xinyan felt a warm sensation in her abdomen, which slowly flowed from her abdomen to her limbs and bones.

So comfortable!

She couldn't resist picking up another piece with her chopsticks and putting it in her mouth.

Fuya and Ji Yunruo felt similarly to Ping Xinyan. After eating a small section of dragon tendon, they tasted the rich and delicious flavor and felt a warm and comfortable sensation flowing through their limbs. The three women looked more relaxed and began to eat faster and faster.

However, something unusual soon happened on Ying Shuangshuang's side.

"Mmm...it's delicious!"

After eating the last small piece of dragon tendon, Ying Shuangshuang squinted her eyes slightly with satisfaction, a smile appearing on her face.

She was just about to pick up her spoon to continue tasting the Wensi Tofu that Qi Han had already served when her hand suddenly froze.

After the last piece of dragon tendon he had just eaten entered his stomach, the warm current that had been surging within his body suddenly intensified.

Is it a special effect of this dish?

Ying Shuangshuang blinked, but then things started to get weirder and weirder.

As the warm current surged, Ying Shuangshuang felt as if something within her body was responding to it, as if something hidden within her was being awakened, and the temperature of the warm current began to rise slowly in response to her body.

Gradually, this warm current turned from warm to scalding hot.

As a fire-attribute soul master, Ying Shuangshuang didn't feel much discomfort from the scalding heat; instead, she felt an extreme sense of comfort and ease.

Her body surface began to turn slightly red, and she felt a little weak.

It was like having a high fever, and also like being drunk.

"Hey~"

She couldn't help but let out a low gasp, but surprisingly, a tiny flame shot out of her mouth.

The other three women suddenly noticed Ying Shuangshuang's unusual behavior and stood up one after another. Fuya even rushed to Ying Shuangshuang's side in a panic.

"Shuangshuang, how are you?"

The moment her hand touched Ying Shuangshuang's arm, she couldn't help but tremble slightly, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

It's so hot!

Ying Shuangshuang's body surface temperature was as hot as charcoal.

How could this be?

"It's alright." Qi Han's gentle voice carried a hint of helplessness as he comforted the three women. "This is a special effect of the jade dragon tendon. It can slightly improve the quality of the martial soul itself, and the effect will be more significant for soul masters with fire attribute and dragon-type martial souls."

Qi Han had not expected Ying Shuangshuang's reaction to be so strong.

Fire attribute and dragon-type martial souls...

It seems like both of them are satisfied?

Thinking of this, Fuya couldn't help but look at Ying Shuangshuang, who was sitting back in her chair with her eyes closed and a silly smile on her face. At this moment, dragon scales began to slowly emerge from the exposed parts of her body. The dragon scales were almost the same as when she possessed her martial soul, but at this moment they were slowly becoming smoother and their color was also quietly changing.

As Qi Han said, Ying Shuangshuang's martial soul is indeed undergoing some unknown changes.

At the same time, waves of heat radiated outwards from Ying Shuangshuang.

Seeing this, Fuya frowned slightly and slowly activated the ice-attribute soul power in her body to cool down the surroundings.

Fortunately, Ying Shuangshuang was wearing a system-customized work uniform; if it were any other clothing, it would probably have been burned to ashes by now due to the terrifying heat.

Then some lewd readers can just leave it at that.
