Chapter 171: The Most Promising Generation?
Qian Daoliu, one of the three Supreme Douluos on the Douluo Continent, never thought that one day he would be so shaken.
And not just slightly, but completely and utterly broken!
The pain of a lifetime!
Not being able to become a god—was that not the regret of his life?
Clearly, he had reached the peak, yet there was no hope of going a step further. His beloved had even used this reason to reject him.
"Sigh…"
Qian Daoliu fell silent, wordless for a long time.
The scene shifted, focusing on Kong.
"Master, I think you should rest well rather than working so hard right now!" the chef said seriously to Kong.
The Douluo Continent could not be without Kong! The culinary world also couldn't do without him!
He couldn't afford to have anything happen to him!
Kong: "..."
He was at a loss for words—was it that obvious?
It seemed like everyone thought he was "on his last legs!"
"I'm fine, it's just a bit of overtraining lately. Don't worry, I'm not dying yet!" Kong waved his hand and continued cooking.
"Master, maybe you could stop training. With your culinary skills, anywhere you go, you'd be treated as an honored guest!" the chef said earnestly.
Training? For what?
Training was something he'd only pursued in his younger, more naive days, not understanding the true essence of culinary art, which led him to become a Spirit Sage-level food spirit master.
Now, at sixty-eight, he understood that only food would never betray him, and it wasn't too late to realize it.
He didn't want his "Master" to deviate from the path!
Training?
It would all turn to dust anyway, so why train?
Kong: "..."
He looked at the chef with a bit of exasperation; he was just making up a story, alright?
Training? His spirit cores were doing all the work!
Once he had his second spirit core, both cores would work hard!
"Everyone has their own aspirations, and they can't be forced. My culinary skills are for my beloved alone; for others, I'm afraid I can't help," Kong said earnestly.
Cooking for others? No way! Absolutely not!
Upon hearing this, the chef was visibly shaken as if he had realized something. Culinary skill dedicated to the beloved? Could this be the reason why "Master's" dishes were so exceptional?
Was this why a dish without sugar could taste sweet?
"While cooking, he blends his emotions, his longing for his beloved—Master's culinary skills transcend the mundane!"
"I could never reach such a level in my lifetime!"
The chef was lost in thought, completely dumbfounded.
Kong: "..."
Unaware of what the chef was thinking, he finished cooking, carried his tray, and headed off to his room, leaving the chef alone in the kitchen in a daze.
"This old man is really something else."
Kong shook his head, then headed to the Pure Heart Garden.
Upon Kong's arrival, the sky in the Pure Heart Garden turned pink, a sign of Ei's joyful mood.
"Kong, I've finished reading the novel."
"Kong, the Shogun ate all the sweets while reading the novel."
As soon as he arrived at the Pure Heart Garden, Kong was met with two issues. Of course, neither of them were serious matters.
He set down the tray and said to the Shogun and Ei, "Let's eat first; I'll bring more sweets and novels later."
"Alright!"
Ei didn't bring up anything about Qian Renxue; to her, it was a trivial matter.
As for the Shogun, her mouth opened as if to say something but then closed. Ultimately, the allure of food led her to forget about it.
A mortal's lifespan is limited; that girl wouldn't live many more years.
Only eternity is the truth. Time passed, and when Kong returned to the kitchen to prepare some sweets, he found the chef still standing there, lost in thought.
He didn't disturb the chef's thoughts. After making some sweets, he left quietly.
"I've got it!"
After a long while, the chef's eyes shone with clarity—he had an epiphany! In that moment, though the soul power fluctuations around him remained unchanged, his mindset had transformed.
Perhaps he couldn't become a powerful warrior, but he could become a top-tier chef!
Night had fallen on the bustling city of Heaven Dou, and for those who had labored all day, the evening provided the perfect opportunity to release their repressed emotions.
On the Douluo Continent, entertainment options were limited, but among them, the Arena of Souls was the best choice.
In the Arena of Souls, as long as you had enough golden soul coins, any entertainment you desired could be arranged…
When Kong passed by the arena, he paused briefly but had no intention of going in. It was merely a playground for the weak.
Heaven Dou City wasn't too large nor too small.
After spending two whole hours exploring, Kong finally finished visiting every bookstore, practically buying out their entire stock.
Just as he was about to return to his hotel to rest, a group approached him.
It was the members of the Emperor Dou Team, who had just finished a match and were on their way back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
They were continually honing their skills in preparation for the upcoming All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.
The Arena of Souls was an excellent place for practice.
Given their high status, neither the academy nor their mentors dared to send them on truly dangerous missions.
The Spirit Hall, however, operated differently.
Their Golden Generation had climbed out of piles of corpses and seas of blood, and even Hu Liena, the Pope's disciple, was no exception.
Of course, powerful protectors watched over them in secret, ready to step in if they faced life-threatening danger from which they couldn't escape.
The Spirit Hall's training methods resembled a survival-of-the-fittest approach—only the strong survived, while the weak perished!
Their strength wasn't without reason.
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy could never take such measures.
This was why the Heaven Dou Empire had never won the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.
The Star Luo Empire, on the other hand, revered strength and had occasionally won the tournament, though not frequently. Still, they had won.
"Oh, it's the Young Sect Master!"
"Kong!"
Hearing Yu Tianheng and Ye Lingling call out his name, Kong paused briefly before coming back to his senses.
"Tianheng, Sister Lingling."
Kong waved his hand in greeting.
"What are you all up to?"
"In a little over a year, the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament will begin. We're training our teamwork and coordination."
"Yeah! With Young Sect Master Yu Tiankong leading us, our Emperor Dou Team's combat strength is at an all-time high!"
"This is a level of strength that previous teams could never reach!" Yu Feng added confidently.
The group nodded in agreement, feeling that their team was the most promising generation yet.
If Kong had heard this, he might have laughed aloud.
The most promising generation?
Wasn't every generation called that? And yet, what were the results?
Yu Feng and the others were thrilled to see Kong. As the Young Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, his status far surpassed that of Yu Tianheng.
Moreover, he was "kind and approachable"!
After hearing their words, Kong's eyebrow twitched. They really did believe they were the most promising generation.
The world's number one beast martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, had Yu Tianheng as their captain.
The world's greatest healer…
