Soul Land: Raiden Shogun Is My Martial Soul

Chapter 29: The Terrifying Food of the Raiden Shogun!

Nearly an hour had passed when Kong reappeared exactly where he had vanished.

As soon as he appeared, he noticed Elder Long Wu lying collapsed on the ground.

"Elder Long Wu, what has happened to you?"

Hearing this voice, a spark suddenly returned to Long Wu's otherwise lifeless eyes. "Young master, you, you are...?"

Upon seeing Kong again, Long Wu stammered, completely baffled by Kong's sudden disappearance and equally unexplained return. He simply couldn't comprehend it! "Ah?"

Realization dawned on Kong!

It turned out that while he was off entertaining his wife in the Land of Pure Heart, he hadn't noticed the elder secretly protecting him; his sudden disappearance must have caused great alarm!

"I'm sorry, Elder Long Wu, I just went..."

Before Kong could finish, Long Wu waved his hand hurriedly, saying, "Young master, I understand, no need to say more. Be careful, the walls have ears."

Tang Hao: "..."

Such a miraculous event, and upon seeing Kong again, Long Wu had roughly guessed what happened.

He instantly understood!

Some things should not be carelessly spoken about; they are secrets. Even if Kong was willing to tell him, it was not his place to pry. Just knowing Kong was safe was enough!

From now on, he wouldn't panic if this happened again.

Seeing that Long Wu seemed to understand, Kong paused, unsure what to say next.

After a long moment, Long Wu noticed the bowl in Kong's hands—not the bowl Kong had disappeared with, nor one created by Kong's magic.

Inside the bowl was a dark, unidentifiable substance.

The two exchanged looks, momentarily speechless.

"Young master, what is this?"

Eventually, Long Wu spoke up, pointing to the bowl in Kong's hands, sensing that there was something extraordinary about it. Perhaps it was a celestial delicacy...

Kong's mouth twitched slightly. How should he explain this?

After a brief contemplation, Kong finally said, "This is food. Do you smell the fragrance?"

Long Wu: No fragrance, only the scent of charred food and earth.

But perhaps this was a celestial food that they consumed!

Thinking this, Long Wu suddenly found it quite appetizing.

"Delicious!"

Tang Hao: "..."

From the shadows, Tang Hao watched Kong and Long Wu like one might watch fools. What was really going on between these two?

"Elder Long Wu, you have tirelessly protected me; please, take this food and eat it."

Kong said sincerely.

After all, even the wife of the Thunder General dared not eat this!

Who knows if Long Wu could still be saved after eating it.

"Young master, this, this doesn't seem right..."

Long Wu was overjoyed yet somewhat embarrassed; he had yet to prove his worth.

"Are you sure you don't want it?"

After hearing this, where could Long Wu dare to refuse? If he declined again, Kong might just offer this to someone else...

With that thought, Long Wu no longer refused and took the bowl from Kong's hands, grabbing the dark mass and eating it.

"Thank you, young master!"

After saying this, Long Wu handed the bowl back to Kong.

"No, don't mention it..."

Kong quickly shook his head, observing any changes in Long Wu.

Long Wu: "???"

What kind of expression was that from the young master?

When he swallowed that dark "divine substance," it tasted just like charred earth, with no other flavors.

But, in just a short moment, he felt a miraculous power coursing through his limbs.

The next moment, Long Wu sat cross-legged, beginning to refine and absorb this power.

Kong saw this and wasn't surprised.

After all, only the divine herbs and magical medicines in the Land of Pure Heart were capable of such effects, casually crafted by Shadow Treasure's wife.

Kong knew the value of these divine and celestial medicines, but to him, they meant nothing compared to his wife.

What did a celestial herb matter if it could transform someone into a monster? What did it have to do with him, Kong?

Tang Hao was also curious about what exactly Long Wu had consumed to cause such intense fluctuations in his soul power, as if he were about to level up.

Time passed, and about half an hour later, a strong wave of soul power burst forth. Elder Long Wu's soul level advanced from eighty-four to eighty-five!

He opened his eyes, filled with a look of shock.

Then, Long Wu's expression changed dramatically, becoming somewhat distorted…

Logically, as a mighty Soul Douluo, he shouldn't have reacted so severely! The turmoil in his stomach made Long Wu feel utterly miserable.

"Young master, I'll be right back!"

Clenching his teeth, Long Wu spoke and then headed toward a nearby bush…

Kong: "???"

Was the side effect that severe?

Fortunately, he hadn't eaten it! If it were ordinary food, having eaten it would at most cause some discomfort due to his robust constitution.

But this mysterious substance, possibly a divine herb or powerful medicine, was something Kong dared not consume! One misstep could cost lives.

If even a Soul Douluo couldn't withstand it, much less him…

"Sss~"

Kong inhaled sharply, thinking to himself that perhaps it was time to prepare some ordinary food for Raiden Shogun!

"Pfft…"

Hearing that sound, Kong instinctively retreated a hundred meters!

After a while, Long Wu reappeared in front of him, sweating profusely, and before he could say anything, his expression changed again as sweat poured down his forehead like raindrops.

"Young master, I…"

Before he could finish, Long Wu ran off again…

Some time passed…

Who knows what look Long Wu had when he saw Kong the next day.

His soul level had indeed increased by one, but if offered such food again, he would absolutely refuse!

Absolutely!

It was too terrifying!

Even a Soul Douluo level cultivation couldn't endure it!

Kong was stunned; Raiden Shogun was using food to plot against her own husband! Fortunately, he hadn't eaten it, and the loyal Elder Long Wu had taken the hit!

Thankfully, Elder Long Wu eventually recovered.

Tang Hao, who was initially curious about the dark mass, shuddered at the sight of Long Wu's ordeal, instantly losing interest.

In Tang Hao's view, the substance was all harm and no benefit. The one level increase in soul power was because Elder Long Wu, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect elder, had been stuck at level eighty-four for many years.

The substance merely served as a catalyst for his breakthrough. However, the side effects were far too terrifying.

In the early morning, having not slept all night, Kong felt a bit lost. After some thought, he decided to sweep through Soto City first! Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect wasn't the wealthiest sect, they were not short of golden soul coins. As the young sect master, Kong also had plenty of golden soul coins.

After purchasing a large amount of groceries, sweets, and food, and sending them all to the Pure Heartland, Kong finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the Rose Hotel.

Time to go, and watch the show!
