Douluo Continent Chat Group: Building My Academy

Chapter 89 The So-Called God of Cookery: Fire and Seasoning

The Star Dou Great Forest is undoubtedly the central area of ​​the Douluo Continent, and Soto City, where Flander and his group are located, is at roughly the same latitude.

Head due east, cross the Sword Mountain Range, and rest for the night in a nearby town, and you'll be nearing the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The journey was smooth, with two Soul Saints leading the way. In the Soul World, this was already considered a high-level force. Soul Douluo and Title Douluo were not commonplace. Unless you specifically sought out powerful forces with deep roots, it was difficult to encounter them.

When Oscar and Ouyang Sun found them in Flanders, they had already traveled the continent once, so this trip was not too surprising.

On the surface, it appeared to be two middle-aged people hunting soul beasts with a child, but the visitors from the Star Dou Great Forest remained unfazed.

But in reality, the old monster Dugu Bo was secretly following behind, ensuring everything was safe and secure.

The Star Dou Great Forest has official passages, not only between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, but also through checkpoints set up by the Spirit Hall.

The Star Dou Great Forest is too vast to be completely monopolized, and the checkpoints of the major powers are merely places for Soul Masters to rest or sell some information.

Of course, Soul Masters who work as mercenaries or hunters are usually stationed at major checkpoints, or even form small to medium-sized strongholds.

Now that Flander no longer needed to gather intelligence from the Soul Master community, and with his logistics guaranteed by the spatial Soul Guidance Device, he ignored the checkpoints and entered the forest on his own.

Perhaps due to the natural terrain, as soon as you step into the Starry Sky Forest, you can clearly feel your body become lighter and your breathing easier.

The soul power fluctuations here are at least twice as strong as those outside, and the quality of the soul power increases the further you go into the central area.

Including the Lake of Life, this is why so many 100,000-year-old soul beasts reside in the center; it's not just because of their status, but also because it's an excellent place for cultivation.

If Flander remembers correctly, later in the story, Xiao Wu in this world became the Forest Douluo, receiving gifts from the Star Dou Great Forest and many Soul Masters. This forest may have some consciousness.

Once fantasy is involved, it's something you can't avoid.

However, Flander wasn't thinking that far ahead for the time being; the two little grasses and the little rabbit weren't even at home yet.

I remember that Ma Hongjun and Sanwu are the same age. Once Hongjun awakens, he can go and visit Notting Academy.

Thinking of his unfortunate friends from the past, Flander couldn't help but smile. Now that the academy was established, he could try to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

There can never be too many geniuses.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Flander came back to his senses. He looked at Oscar, who was examining the forest trees, and Ouyang Sun, who looked nostalgic, and said gently, "Little Oscar, and Little Sun, tell me, after studying at the academy for a few months, what are your considerations regarding your first spirit rings?"

"Yes, teacher."

When the pop quiz began, Oscar immediately perked up. Compared to Ouyang Sun, who possessed two martial souls, he had far fewer factors to consider.

"First of all, as you said, when matching spirit rings, you should consider the suitability of the spirit, play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses. You can't sacrifice the future in order to make up for your shortcomings."

My martial soul is the God of Food. You said, teacher, that it is a top-tier martial soul, and few food-type martial souls can compare to it.

The God of Food, food, the first food that people naturally eat is raw food, fruits and vegetables that can be eaten directly, which are very suitable for me.

The teacher said that plant-type soul beasts have more stable soul maturity and gentler soul power compared to animal-type soul beasts, making them more suitable for the first soul ring to absorb.

If I absorb plant-based spirit beasts that produce fruits and vegetables that can be eaten directly, I will likely gain my first spirit skill that replenishes spirit power or physical strength.

However, this only applies to ordinary food-type martial souls. I have the Food God martial soul, so of course it has to be different!

Oscar spoke eloquently; he has always been a smart kid, and these days, by filling in the gaps in his knowledge, he has already formed a complete system in his mind.

"The God of Food, of course, has to process food. Two major advancements in human food civilization are fire and seasonings."

Roasted meat may be the first food created by humankind, and salt is also the first seasoning.

The corresponding soul beasts for these two types are fire-type soul beasts and mineral-type soul beasts.

If my first spirit ring is fire-attribute, my first spirit skill will likely have an ability similar to berserk mode that increases all attributes, because going from raw food to cooked food is a qualitative change. Of course, it could also just be a simple way to replenish stamina, since food is for eating.

If the first spirit ring is of the mineral attribute, besides the initial assessment of enhanced defense, it's more likely to be a legendary spirit skill that can boost support-type spirit skills, since seasonings are the best accompaniment to food.

Oscar recited his reasoning and Flander's teachings in one breath, then paused to fill in any gaps.

"Of course, even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. The God of Cookery also needs excellent ingredients and staple foods. Staple foods such as wheat, millet, and other grains are definitely soul skills that replenish physical strength. As for high-grade ingredients, the enhancement effect may depend on the soul beast's condition."

"So, Xiao Ao, what's your decision?"

Flanders smiled broadly, extremely pleased with this answer; Little O had already begun to examine himself from a godlike perspective, almost as a whole.

"I have only one decision!" Oscar declared resolutely.

"That's fire!"

"Fire is the source of all food. Perhaps that's an absolute statement, but every kitchen has a stove."

"Teacher, you said my Food God Martial Soul won't be limited to a single food. I'll be able to summon all kinds of food in the future. If my first spirit ring is fire, then I might be able to control all my spirit skills."

Fire, seasonings, staple grains, meat, fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables, and fungi —

Oscar had long envisioned the ingredients that his God of Food martial soul would summon, and if possible, he would develop them in the direction of the nine types of food that humans eat most often.

Oscar would only consider himself a true God of Cookery if he could summon all nine types of food.

"Haha, not bad, very good!"

Flander laughed heartily. The first soul skill is the starting point for a soul master. If it is an ordinary soul master, they cannot consider the future, so they can only get the soul ring first.

However, for a Soul Master who can truly reach the Title Douluo level, only if their first Soul Skill can still be used as a move during the Title Douluo period can they be considered qualified.

For example, Huo Yuhao in the second part, even with the factor of a million-year soul ring, still has his first soul skill, Spiritual Detection, which can be used as a move even after he becomes a god.

On the other hand, let's not even mention the certain blue-silver entanglement.

"When it comes to fire, for food-type martial souls, plant soul rings are better than animal soul rings, since they are firewood for the foundation, not fire for roasting meat."

Plants belong to the wood element, which is naturally incompatible with fire. To say that they are suitable for the first soul ring for a hundred years is extremely difficult, but not impossible.

Now that you've made up your mind, your teacher will do everything in her power to find it for you.

Flander acted as a guarantor; this is the purpose of a teacher: to provide resources and a platform for students.

"And what about you, Little Sun?"

"I—" Ouyang Sun hesitated.
