201 Eating Together (1/2)

Tang Wulin had pretty much hit the nail right on the head in regards to WuZhangkong’s line of thought. Practical combat experience at their age was morebeneficial to their growth than anything else. The battles in the spiritascension platform and spars with their teacher were engraved into their verybeing. Such experiences culminated into growth.

So what if our opponent is strong? Today, the Skysea Alliance’s team clearlyhad the edge in soul rings, yet they still lost in under a minute!

So what if they’re older and have better soul rings? All that matters is howmuch strength we’re able to display and if we can grasp victory!

Tang Wulin was convinced that no matter how formidable their opponent was, aslong as they brought out their full power, then even Wu Zhangkong couldn’t sayanything should they lose.

The city bustled with activity now that the Skysea Alliance Tournament was infull-swing. Tournaments attracted people, so visitors from all over the eastcoast had traveled to Skysea City.

The city came to life once night fell. People swarmed the restaurants,delighting in delicacies and fine liquor.

“Did you sneak out?” Tang Wulin asked Xu Lizhi. The little fatty was sittingbeside him, gorging himself on food.

Xu Lizhi had invited him out to eat in the afternoon. Tang Wulin was happy toagree of course, but when they met, he saw that Xu Lizhi had disguised himself.He had clearly snuck out.

“Mhmm. This tofu fish is really good. It’s delicate and soft, yet so fragrant,so delicious. Tang Wulin, you really know how to eat!” The little fatty XuLizhi exclaimed as he stuffed himself.

Although Tang Wulin wasn’t a resident of Skysea City, there wasn’t much of adifference between Skysea City and Eastsea City’s seafood. Furthermore, he hadspent his entire life on the coast, so how could he not know what was tasty?

“Hey, why aren’t you eating?” Xu Lizhi asked.

Tang Wulin smiled. “There would be nothing left for you if I eat.” What hedidn’t mention was how expensive this food was. Eating would bring him both joyand suffering in this case. Treating Xu Lizhi to a meal was enough.

Xu Lizhi said, “Come on, eat! It’s more fun to eat together. You lead the wayand I’ll pay. You’re not a resident of Skysea City anyway so you don’t have tohost me, alright?”

Tang Wulin burst into laughter. “You really want me to eat? Are you sure youwant to treat me? Let me tell you; I’ve got quite the stomach.”

Xu Lizhi waved a hand dismissively as if swatting a fly. “It’s just a bit ofmoney to eat. Come on, let’s feast. We’ll deal with it after we’re full.”

“Alright! Boss, I want to order one salt-crusted baked bluefin tuna.” TangWulin immediately called out.

Hesitating, the boss asked, “Do you have more guests coming?”

Tang Wulin shook his head.

The boss said, “Do you know how big a bluefin tuna is?”

Tang Wulin said, “Of course. It should be at least fifty kilograms, so youshould start preparing it now since it will take a long time to bake. Right, Ialso want fifty rose sea urchins, two baked fish heads and…” Tang Wulincontinued listing dishes.

Xu Lizhi didn’t mind and instead applauded him.

Soon, the entire restaurant was swept up by their pace.

Despite lagging behind Tang Wulin, Xu Lizhi could keep eating without pause,showcasing his frightening endurance. They were children after all. When theysaw one another going at it, they couldn’t help but compete.

As the dishes piled up on the table, the two increased their tempo, cheekstrembling as they chewed and swallowed.

The legend of the gluttonous Tang Wulin had been confined to Eastsea City, buttoday it debuted in Skysea City.

A short while later, shells and dishes piled up like a mountain across twotables.

“You really know how to eat! This is the first time I’ve met someone who couldcompete with me in terms of eating. Stuffing myself has never been so cool.” XuLizhi exclaimed in admiration and flashed Tang Wulin a big thumbs up.

Tang Wulin laughed mischievously. “This is also my first time meeting someonewho can eat as much as I do. This seafood is really filling and high inprotein. Here, try some. This rose sea urchin is delicious. Not only is themeat fragrant, it’s also filled with flavor. If you let it sit for two hours,the flavor completely transforms! That’s why you can’t say you’ve tasted itstrue deliciousness until you’ve visited a coastal city.”

“Wow! It really is delicious.”

Xu Lizhi gradually found it harder and harder to continue devouring food. Hisbelly swelled until it was a perfect sphere and all he could do was lean backagainst his chair, gaping at Tang Wulin. Tang Wulin’s pace hadn’t slowed at alleven now, and his stomach was still as flat as always It was almost as if hewere a starved man seeing food for the first time.

“I-I can’t continue. You’re amazing; I concede. Since you can eat so much,I’ll call you Big Bro from now on.” Xu Lizhi patted his stomach as he panted,his face a picture of contentment and respect.
