“Ha!”
“Ha!”
Outside the cafeteria, Jun Changxiao opened his mouth to exhale. The spicy and numbing flavor hadn’t dissipated, but his complexion gradually recovered from blood red.
Just now, it was as if a primordial force had surged within his body, making him unable to wait to blast it out, forming an energy wave-like beam. The scene was truly spectacular.
Without question, this was related to the dish Liu Wanshi made.
After ascending to the upper realm, the high-level members and disciples’ overall strength had all obviously improved. As a genius in the culinary dao, naturally she wouldn’t stand still, so she had always been researching new cuisines and new products.
“Host, the power you just blasted out was 40% higher than usual,” the System said.
“That high?”
Jun Changxiao was extremely astonished.
Though the energy wave he just struck out had no martial technique enhancement, being able to increase this much in the explosive instant was truly somewhat inconceivable!
Liu Wanshi stood at the cafeteria entrance: “This dish is called Explosive Spicy Fish. The Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers used come from the upper realm. With different material combinations and cooking methods, just eating one bite can stimulate dantian energy circulation, thereby achieving ultimate explosive power.”
“Amazing!”
Jun Changxiao directly gave a thumbs up.
Liu Wanshi added, “The drawback is it can only explode once.”
Jun Changxiao had also already noticed. After striking out the energy wave, though the spicy and numbing flavor remained in his mouth, that force that compressed the energy core to achieve explosive power no longer existed.
Though there was a small regret, instantly increasing combat power by 40%—at a dangerous moment it could definitely play an important role, even reverse the battle situation.
“Girl.”
Jun Changxiao said, “What if I eat another bite?”
Liu Wanshi shook her head: “You must wait two hours for the Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers in your body to be completely digested. Only then will eating it again have an effect.”
A two-hour interval was a bit long. It was destined not to be frequently used in regular combat, but it could be kept as a trump card.
“Qingyang, Zuiji.”
Jun Changxiao called out loudly, “Come try it!”
“Yes!”
Li Qingyang and Xiao Zuiji walked into the cafeteria, picked up pieces of fish meat and put them in their mouths. With flushed faces, they ran out and assumed the Sect Master’s previous posture.
“Turtle School Energy Wave!”
“Turtle School Energy Wave!”
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
Two beams burst forth.
Next, more disciples successively tasted the Explosive Spicy Fish, standing outside the cafeteria shouting embarrassing phrases and blasting out energy waves trailing flowing light. The scene was quite absurd for a time.
…
Liu Wanshi’s new cuisine was very successful. After all, without any treasure enhancement, relying solely on food’s power, it could instantly amplify combat power by 40%.
One person eating it would increase strength—what about a group eating it?
One could imagine that in some future day, the Eternal Sect would directly confront the Ten Great Immortal Sects. At the Sect Master’s command, disciples would uniformly bring out a bowl of Explosive Spicy Fish to eat, with everyone’s strength completely increased. The scene would definitely be serious enough, passionate enough!
“Girl.”
Jun Changxiao encouraged, “You need to work even harder!”
This kind of instantly increasing explosive cuisine couldn’t satisfy him. He must research more varieties, more types. Only then would there be abundant backup plans to deal with all troubles.
“Mm!”
Liu Wanshi nodded vigorously: “I’ll work hard researching new cuisines!”
“Hall Master Li.”
Jun Changxiao instructed, “Package a portion of Explosive Spicy Fish and deliver it to Ye Xingchen’s hands as quickly as possible.”
With the disciple raiding a second-class forbidden land, this thing should come in handy.
“Yes.”
Li Luoqiu immediately made arrangements.
Before long, a Fine Rain Hall member donned dragon robes, rode a small motorcycle, and took the packaged Explosive Spicy Fish toward the second-class forbidden land where Ye Xingchen had gone.
Ah Niu, your takeout is on the delivery route.
…
In a dark wilderness.
Ye Xingchen held the just-delivered takeout in a daze, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
Did the Sect Master suddenly send food because he thought that going out to train, I couldn’t even accomplish the most basic task of filling my stomach?
A note was stuck on the food container with the following content written—
Ah Niu, this is a new product researched by your Junior Sister Liu. After consuming it, you can greatly increase explosive power. If you encounter danger, be sure to remember to eat it.
“Tch.”
Ye Xingchen snorted coldly and put the Explosive Spicy Fish into his spatial ring.
Though he knew the food Liu Wanshi made had strength-increasing effects—for instance, the Power Fried Rice from before—he had long since undergone tremendous changes. How could he rely on external objects to get through difficulties?
“Step!”
Striding forward, he gracefully merged into the barrier formation.
“He went in!”
“This guy entered the Phantom Soul Formation alone!”
The various martial artists at the outer perimeter immediately began discussing. For the black-robed man who had just entered alone, they could only raise their thumbs in respect.
…
“Sect Master.”
At the Eternal Sect, after obtaining intelligence, Li Luoqiu said, “Ye Xingchen has entered the second-class forbidden land.”
“Hope he can come out safely,” Jun Changxiao said.
“Sect Master!”
Liu Wanshi transmitted, “Time to eat!”
“Let’s go.”
Jun Changxiao said, “Let’s go eat.”
When he arrived at the cafeteria, just as he was about to start eating, he suddenly remembered something and casually asked, “Girl, eating one bite of Explosive Spicy Fish can greatly increase combat power. What if you eat many bites? Or what if you eat it all clean?”
“This…”
Liu Wanshi cupped her chin in thought: “I haven’t tested that.”
Jun Changxiao instructed, “When you have time, test it. If side effects appear, it’s good to promptly remind disciples to use it cautiously.”
“Mm.”
“Eat eat eat.”
…
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Inside the Phantom Soul Formation, thunderous sounds shook the heavens.
At this moment, Ye Xingchen’s wildness and power fully exploded as he battled an enormous soul beast formed by phantoms. The scene could be called extremely explosive.
This second-class forbidden land was similar to Bull Demon Mountain. There were no heavenly or earthly treasures inside. Its value was purely for training, because the phantomized demonic beasts were extremely realistic and their combat power was exceptionally formidable.
“Heaven-Crossing Palm Print!”
“Seven Profound Brilliant Light Break!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Palm prints and beams crisscrossed.
Finally, under Ye Xingchen’s full firepower, the phantom beast comparable to a fourth-rotation Core Rotation Realm expert was blasted into nothingness.
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
Just then, roars came again from the void space, and two phantom beasts with even larger bodies gradually gathered into form.
“…”
Ye Xingchen’s brows furrowed tightly.
Just eliminated one, and two more came. Second-class forbidden lands truly lived up to their reputation!
Of course, Ah Niu definitely wouldn’t cower. Activating text special effects, transforming into the Unrivaled War God, he wielded the Sky-Piercing Halberd and leaped over.
Half an hour later, Ye Xingchen tilted the Sky-Piercing Halberd down, a proud expression appearing on his face. Behind him, two massive phantom beasts had become fragmented.
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
Before he finished posing, four more phantom beasts formed.
“…”
Ye Xingchen’s expression became somewhat grave.
Fought two, four more came. After dealing with them, wouldn’t eight appear?
Sure enough!
After he painstakingly finished them off, eight more phantom beasts gathered in the area. Though their strength hadn’t increased, the quantity doubled each time—who could withstand this!
Retreat!
Must retreat!
Ah Niu finally chickened out.
However, at this moment it was already too late, because the eight phantom beasts had gathered at eight positions, forming an inescapable net that gave no opportunity to retreat.
“Roar!”
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The phantom beasts launched a crazy bombardment. Various palm prints and energy pressed in from all directions, forcing Ye Xingchen to dodge awkwardly, even getting hit if he wasn’t careful.
“Damn it!”
Staggering back several steps, Ah Niu was furious beyond words.
The current situation was extremely thorny for him. If he wanted to resolve it, he only had to activate his bloodline and transform into azure ox form!
Wait!
There was also the food the Sect Master sent!
“Swish!”
Ye Xingchen hastily took it out. While dodging attacks, he opened the lid, tilted his head back, and ate the entire bowl of Explosive Spicy Fish, swallowing without even chewing. The scene was truly too brutal.
Fortunately it was packaged, with a smaller portion. If it had been a complete large bowl, he couldn’t have swallowed just the fish alone.
“Ah!”
“Ahhh!”
Suddenly, wailing sounds came from within the Phantom Soul Formation.
Martial artists training in other areas suddenly heard this and were so startled they all stopped fighting. Even the soul beasts showed humanized astonishment.
“What’s going on?”
“Let’s go take a look!”
Everyone hastily headed toward the sound until they reached the scene. They saw that black-robed man who had entered alone bent over standing in place, his entire face and even neck completely red, with rolling thick smoke surging around his body—his body seemed about to catch fire!
“Ah!”
Ye Xingchen clenched both fists and tilted his head back in a furious roar!
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Scorching hot breath burst forth along with thick smoke. His entire body seemed enveloped in flames, exactly like a monster walking out from a volcano!
“…”
The various martial artists immediately felt chills.
Even the eight phantom beasts surrounding the vicinity showed humanized fearful expressions.
Monster!
This was a monster!
