Soul Land: Raiden Shogun Is My Martial Soul

Chapter 257: The General's Reputation Changes, Everyone Breaks Through!

Inside Dugu Yan's room.

At this moment, both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were trembling slightly. It was her!

She was the one!

She was too terrifying!

Despite having the face of a gentle, mature woman, she actually couldn't cook!

Seated on a chair, the Raiden Shogun simply stared at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling without uttering a word.

Guilt?

Not in the slightest. The Shogun didn't experience such emotions.

After all, they had voluntarily chosen to taste "Judgment Time."

Ending up in this state wasn't her fault!

When Kong pushed open the door and saw the scene before him, he froze for a moment.

What was going on here?

Why did it feel like… the main wife had caught the mistres—

No. He must be overthinking it.

"General wifey, Sister Yan, Lingling… what's going on here?"

"Having a meeting?"

Kong asked in confusion, cautiously approaching the three women, as if afraid that stepping into the room with his right foot first would turn the situation into a disaster.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling: "…"

Did this look like a meeting?

They were terrified!

Even if they teamed up, they still wouldn't stand a chance.

"Kong~"

Dugu Yan glanced at Kong, then at the Raiden Shogun. Her lips parted slightly, but she hesitated to speak.

This situation was like sitting on needles, walking on thin ice, or having a bone stuck in one's throat!

"You've worked hard!"

Kong silently thought to himself before shifting his gaze to the Raiden Shogun, who wore an utterly innocent expression.

As for this "culprit," Kong could only smile bitterly.

Why was his General wifey so obsessed with cooking?!

Hadn't both she and Shadow Treasure given up after half a month of lessons?

Sigh…

Then again, even that Liyue woman couldn't teach her. How could he possibly succeed?

"Sister Yan, Lingling, get some rest. I'll handle the competition—you don't have to worry."

"General wifey, let's go for a stroll! We haven't explored Spirit City together yet!"

The moment they heard this, the eyes of all three women lit up.

For Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, it was because this woman was finally leaving their room!

For the Raiden Shogun, it was because Kong wanted to go shopping with her!

As soon as Kong and the Raiden Shogun left, Ye Lingling let out a long sigh of relief. Turning to Dugu Yan, she said,

"Yan, the cooking skills of the great wife are… beyond words."

"I'm not exaggerating—my Nine-Hearts Begonia lineage has never failed to heal a patient.

But when it comes to 'Judgment Time'… I really am powerless!"

"Lingling, don't cry, don't cry! From now on, we'll do the cooking.

We just need to keep her out of the kitchen.

No wonder, no wonder Kong never let her cook before.

I finally understand!"

Dugu Yan said, her face still pale.

"Mm!"

Ye Lingling nodded firmly, her expression filled with determination.

"Huh? Wait… my soul power…?"

Suddenly, Ye Lingling frowned.

She sensed that her soul power had increased!

She had only recently broken through to Rank 42, but now, she was already at the peak of Rank 42!

"Yan, something's off with 'Judgment Time'—it boosts soul power!"

"So far, aside from the pain, there don't seem to be any side effects!"

Ye Lingling was stunned!

That horrifying food actually increased soul power???

Hearing this, Dugu Yan's pale face also changed.

She, too, suddenly realized something wasn't right.

Her own soul power had also surged to the peak of Rank 62, on the verge of breaking through to Rank 63!

"I feel it too! It really does increase soul power…

Wait a minute, this is just like something I ate when I was twelve…"

Recalling that extraordinary item, Dugu Yan's expression changed again.

Could it be that the "Judgment Time" they ate yesterday was on the same level as that divine treasure?

If that were true…

Then this "great wife" of theirs—she was far too generous!

"Lingling, we might have misunderstood the great wife this time.

No, we definitely misunderstood Big Sis!

What she gave us… was likely a divine treasure!

A divine treasure that can increase strength without any side effects!"

Dugu Yan spoke with a serious expression.

"But the process of gaining strength through this is way too painful!"

"Suffer through the hardest trials, and you shall stand above the rest!"

"For Big Sis to willingly share something like this… she truly lives up to her name!"

Dugu Yan sighed. If she had obtained such a divine item, she would probably have only shared it with Kong and Dugu Bo, maybe including Ye Lingling at most. As for anyone else? Not a chance!

At the same time, the members of the Royal Battle Team, including their leader, Qin Ming, all noticed an increase in their soul power!

They weren't fools. After a brief moment of thought, they instantly realized what had happened!

"Hiss—"

Everyone collectively sucked in a breath of cold air.

No wonder. No wonder the Raiden Shogun hadn't shown a single trace of guilt.

She had taken out such a divine treasure and shared it with everyone—how could she possibly feel guilty?

"Smack—"

Yu Feng slapped himself across the face and then said, "I—Yu Feng—am truly not human! Just now, I was secretly complaining in my heart about Big Sis not knowing how to cook!"

Seeing the red mark on Yu Feng's face, everyone knew he was being completely sincere!

"You deserved that slap! Before we understood its effects, how could we not have had some resentment in our hearts, even if we didn't say it out loud?"

After saying this, Qin Ming also slapped himself. After all, he had eaten the most of "Judgment Time."

Naturally, his gains were also the greatest!

Yet he had previously harbored complaints. How could he face her with a clear conscience now?

Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Oslo, Yu Tianheng, and the others followed suit, each giving themselves a firm slap.

By the time Kong and the Raiden Shogun returned, he was utterly dumbfounded.

What was going on?

Why did everyone have a fresh handprint on their faces?

And why were they looking at the Shogun with eyes full of gratitude???

That wasn't how things were before!

As night fell and everyone drifted into sleep, Kong could still faintly hear the sound of slaps and voices murmuring, "I'm really not human…"

This only deepened Kong's confusion.

What was wrong with these people?

In the afternoon match, the Spirit Battle Team ultimately emerged victorious.

No matter how strong Tang San was, with the Royal Battle Team's second squad dragging him down, it was impossible for him to win.

He was essentially fighting a one-against-seven battle!

Although Tang San possessed the Millennium Soft Bone Rabbit's head soul bone, which granted him immunity to Hu Liena's charm, his teammates did not.

Less than a minute into the match, all of them were knocked out of the arena.

Hu Liena and Xie Yue then unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, while Yan and the others launched a coordinated assault against Tang San.

This battle was anything but easy!

Had the Asura God not already abandoned Tang San, as the protagonist, he might have still been able to pull off a miraculous reversal.

Unfortunately, he was no longer favored.

Without the protagonist's plot armor, he was simply no match for an entire team.

He was strong, but there was a limit to his strength.

"I refuse to accept this! I refuse!!!"

"I gave everything… so why can't I even take second place?!"

"It's them… Yes, it must be those noble-born teammates dragging me down!"

"If I had teammates like Kong, I never would have lost this match!"

Tang San finally pinpointed the cause of his defeat.

But it was already too late.

The next day, outside the Papal Hall—

"The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament Grand Finals, Heaven Dou Imperial Academy versus Spirit Academy, officially begins!"
