Chapter 39 Tang Wulin: It tastes like Mom
"Come, Gu Yue, try my spicy rabbit head!"
With a brilliant smile on his face, Zhao Tao personally placed a spicy rabbit head in Gu Yue's bowl.
"Great! I want to try your cooking, Zhao Tao!"
With a bright smile on his face, Gu Yue gracefully picked up the rabbit head from the bowl and chewed it carefully.
In an instant,
the charred rabbit meat, tender on the inside, paired with the soul-stirring and amazing sauce,
brought a sudden burst of happiness to Gu Yue's beautiful face.
"This spicy rabbit head is delicious!"
"Zhao Tao, I didn't expect you to be a talented chef!"
Gu Yue praised Zhao Tao's spicy rabbit head.
She hadn't expected
that the ordinary soft-bone rabbit would be transformed into such a delicious delicacy by Zhao Tao's treatment.
For a moment, Gu Yue's eyes, filled with admiration and a sense of familiarity, gazed at Zhao Tao.
It was clear that Zhao Tao's spicy rabbit head had completely won over Gu Yue's stomach and heart.
"Come, try my cake and juice. I'm sure you won't be disappointed!"
Seeing Gu Yue's smile, Zhao Tao cut another piece of cake for her and poured her a glass of mixed rainbow juice.
"Hmm!"
Nodding, Gu Yue eagerly bit off a corner of the cake, sipped the juice, and savored it carefully.
"Delicious!"
There were no overly flowery words.
But the radiant smile on Gu Yue's face and the thumbs-up
clearly proved that these two dishes had once again captivated her taste buds.
At this moment, Gu Yue finally began to understand why Na'er loved Zhao Tao's visits so much.
Even she herself was finding Zhao Tao more and more pleasing to the eye.
After all, who wouldn't like a warm-hearted man like Zhao Tao who was so handsome and had such great cooking skills?
"Wulin, come and try the spicy and tender rabbit head I made!"
At this moment, Zhao Tao took the initiative to pick up a rabbit head and put it in Tang Wulin's bowl.
"Thank you, Brother Tao!"
Seeing Zhao Tao actually take the initiative to pick up food for him, Tang Wulin felt extremely honored and quickly stood up.
"Wulin, sit down and try my cooking."
Zhao Tao said with a smile, patting Wulin on the shoulder.
"Brother Tao, the spicy rabbit head you made is amazing!"
Savoring the spicy rabbit head in the bowl, Tang Wulin couldn't help but shed tears of happiness from the corners of his eyes.
At this moment, he seemed to feel the taste of his mother.
Looking at Tang Wulin who picked up the soft bone charm rabbit head and chewed it fiercely,
Zhao Tao also showed a bright smile on his face.
If Xiao Wu or Tang Shenwang saw this scene, her expression would definitely be very interesting, right?
"Xie Xie, you're welcome, let's eat it while it's hot."
While taking the initiative to pick up a spicy rabbit head, Zhao Tao also invited Xie Xie to eat together.
Just like that.
The four of them enjoyed the food happily, and at the same time were deeply impressed by Zhao Tao's cooking skills.
...
Happy times are always short-lived.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day, in the zero class classroom.
"Today, we are going to have a special practical course!"
"Now, let's set off to the Spirit Pagoda!"
Wu Changkong's words were always so concise.
"Teacher Wu, what exactly is this special combat course you're talking about? Why do we have to go to the Spirit Pagoda?"
Tang Wulin couldn't contain his curiosity and asked along the way.
"Starting this week, you'll have one chance every week to practice on the Spirit Ascension Platform."
"The school spent a lot of money to secure this qualification for you. You must cherish it."
Wu Changkong explained calmly in response to Tang Wulin's question.
"It's the Spirit Ascension Platform! The academy is really generous!"
Xie Xie exclaimed in surprise after hearing Wu Changkong's words.
Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi, standing nearby, were also filled with surprise.
"Xie Xie, please tell me more about it. What is the Spirit Ascension Platform?"
Tang Wulin asked in a low voice, curious.
"Hey, then let me explain it to you!"
Hearing Tang Wulin's words, Xie Xie couldn't help but show a smug look on his face. He
then explained to Tang Wulin the origin of the Soul Ascension Platform.
It transports soul masters to a virtual space, where they can engage in combat with simulated soul beasts.
Killing a soul beast within the Soul Ascension Platform can improve one's own soul cultivation.
Furthermore, it may even help the soul evolve, a process known as soul ascension.
Hearing Xie Xie's words, Tang Wulin instantly became excited.
After a long conversation,
they finally arrived at the Soul Transmission Tower in Donghai City.
Compared to the Soul Transmission Tower in Aolai City, the one in Donghai City was undoubtedly more magnificent.
With over a hundred floors and a height exceeding four hundred meters, it soared into the sky and could be seen from kilometers away.
It was known as the "Eighteen Heavenly Pillars," referring to the eighteen largest branches of the Soul Transmission Tower.
At this moment, Long Hengxu was already waiting here.
After greeting Wu Changkong, Long Hengxu also led the way.
Entering the lobby on the first floor of the Spirit Pagoda,
what caught everyone's eyes was a huge mural.
It was the story of the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, and his wife, Dragon Butterfly Douluo Tang Wutong.
They didn't stay in the lobby for too long.
Under the leadership of Long Hengxu, everyone took the elevator and continued to go down. After a full three minutes, it stopped.
After leaving the elevator, a staff member of the Spirit Pagoda appeared and led everyone to a circular room.
The entire room was made of silver-white metal, showing a technological style. A circle of soul guide screens were hung on the wall.
On the screen, a scene of a primitive jungle was presented.
"Director Long, your East Sea Academy has a total of six places to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform."
"Since this is your first time entering the Spirit Ascension Platform, I'll now explain some of the precautions you should take:" "
..."
Looking at Zhao Tao and the other six, the Spirit Pagoda staff began to explain the details of the Spirit Ascension Platform.
After the staff's explanation, the six people were eager to try it out.
Gu Yue, in particular, was inexplicably excited.
"Okay, we're ready to begin. Relax and don't be nervous."
With the press of a special red button, six metal cabinets slowly rose from the ground.
The cabinet doors slowly opened, revealing human-shaped recesses within, and Zhao Tao and the other six people lay down inside.
Soon, the cabinet doors closed again, and Zhao Tao felt his surroundings plunge into darkness.
At the same time, various instrument suction cups extended from the surrounding area and attached themselves to Zhao Tao's body.
A tingling sensation followed, and Zhao Tao felt his consciousness slip into a drowsy state.
However, this drowsy feeling didn't last long.
Suddenly, Zhao Tao felt a flash of light before his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in a primeval forest.
"The last time I entered the primary Soul Ascension Platform was the last time..."
"Since I'm here, I'll seize this opportunity to help my Silkworm Soul improve its cultivation!"
Looking at the strange yet familiar scene around him, Zhao Tao smiled slightly, summoned his Spring and Autumn Cicada martial spirit, activated his soul skill, and used the Time Burial Sword. He calmly walked into the forest.
