180: Tang Wulin, the Big Eater

The individual and team competitions of the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition are both elimination rounds; lose, and you are out.

Wu Changkong did not provide them with any analysis or guidance; he simply glanced back at Shen Guyan and left.

"Teacher Wu is really an irresponsible man!" Xie Xie couldn't help but whisper.

Naer glanced at him, "Why don't you say that to his face?"

Xu Xiaoyan was more direct, "I'm going to tell Teacher Wu that you're badmouthing him!"

Xie Xie said angrily, "What did I do to you? Am I your class enemy?"

Xu Xiaoyan giggled, "Who told you not to be as handsome as Teacher Wu and Tang Wulin."

Xie Xie snorted disdainfully, "My handsomeness will naturally be appreciated by someone in the future; you just don't understand."

"Let's go back... I think the reason Teacher Wu didn't give us too much guidance is because it wouldn't be very useful right now.

Therefore, we can only rely on ourselves.

We all have individual competitions tomorrow morning, so let's do our best.

As for the team competition in the afternoon, we'll formulate tactics based on our condition then."

Tang Wulin was clearly the backbone of the group, mediating the situation.

"Together?" Xie Xie seemed to have a good impression of Shen Guyan and couldn't help asking Shen Guyan and his group.

Tang Wulin didn't object either; after all, the other party's impoverished status resonated with him.

The two groups walked together towards a rather famous restaurant nearby.

Along the way, the children curiously examined Tang Wulin and the others, while Tang Wulin and his group were also full of curiosity about Yu Qin and the other four children; although they didn't speak, they exchanged glances constantly.

Entering the restaurant, the interior was decorated in a simple and elegant style, with wooden tables and chairs arranged neatly, and several paintings depicting the wonders of the Douluo Continent hanging on the walls.

Everyone chose a large table to sit at, and a waiter quickly handed over the menu.

Tang Wulin took the menu, didn't even look at the dishes, and said directly to the waiter, "Bring us all the signature dishes in your restaurant, two portions of each, and ten bowls of rice."

Shen Guyan and his five children were stunned upon hearing this; this appetite was truly astonishing.

Seeing this, Xie Xie explained with a smile, "Don't be surprised, everyone. Wulin has always had such an appetite. His Cultivation consumes a lot of energy, so he has to eat a lot."

Shen Guyan smiled slightly, expressing understanding, but secretly marveled at the intensity of Tang Wulin's Cultivation.

During the wait for the dishes, everyone began to introduce themselves.

Shen Guyan introduced his own background and that of the five children. Upon hearing that these five children, despite having ordinary talent, were working hard on their Cultivation under Shen Guyan's guidance, Tang Wulin and the others couldn't help but cast admiring glances.

Tang Wulin also introduced his group's situation. When Shen Guyan learned they were from Shrek Academy, his heart stirred slightly. He had long heard of Shrek Academy's prestige; students who could graduate from there were surely no ordinary people.

Before long, the dishes were served one by one.

The dishes, complete with color, aroma, and taste, filled the table, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Tang Wulin didn't stand on ceremony; he picked up his chopsticks and began to feast.

Seeing him sweep through the food like a whirlwind, he polished off several plates in no time. The speed and volume of his eating left Yu Qin and the others dumbfounded.

Xiao Jian couldn't help but ask, "Big Brother Tang, do you usually eat this much? I feel like I don't eat even a fraction of what you do."

Tang Wulin, his mouth full of food, said vaguely, "Haha, I Cultivate the Blue Silver Grass Spirit, and this Spirit requires a large amount of energy to grow, so my appetite is a bit larger."

Shen Guyan said with a smile, "It seems that Brother Tang's path of Cultivation must be arduous. Such a large appetite also reflects the intensity of Brother Tang's hard work in Cultivation."

Tang Wulin swallowed the food in his mouth and said seriously, "Brother Shen, you flatter me. At Shrek Academy, there are many people who work harder than me.

Everyone is working hard at their Cultivation to pursue greater strength and protect the beliefs in their hearts."

During the meal, everyone chatted while eating, and the atmosphere became increasingly harmonious.

Xu Xiaoyan shared some interesting stories about Shrek Academy, causing everyone to laugh out loud;

Naer, though not talkative, would occasionally make a remark that hit the nail on the head;

and Xie Xie was full of witty remarks, constantly telling various jokes and anecdotes.

Shen Guyan's five children listened with great interest and were full of yearning for Shrek Academy.

Watching this happy scene, Shen Guyan couldn't help but think that this trip to Tianhai City and getting to know Tang Wulin and the others might bring different opportunities and inspiration to the children.

Tang Wulin and his friends also felt that Shen Guyan and his five children possessed a simplicity and resilience that was worth learning from.

By the end of the meal, not only had everyone filled their stomachs, but their relationship with each other had also grown much closer.

After finishing the meal, Tang Wulin gave a satisfied burp and said with a smile, "This meal was really enjoyable today. Getting to know Brother Shen and you young friends is an unexpected delight."

Shen Guyan nodded and said, "Yes, I look forward to having the opportunity to meet with you all again in the future."

Everyone walked out of the restaurant as the sky gradually darkened.

The shops on both sides of the street lit up, decorating the night of Tianhai City in a particularly charming way.

Tang Wulin and his group bade farewell to Shen Guyan and his party and returned to their respective accommodations to prepare for the upcoming Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition.

Watching the departing backs of Tang Wulin and the others, Shen Guyan pondered silently, what kind of brilliant performance would these Shrek Academy students have in the Grand Competition?

And what could his five children learn from them?

With these thoughts, Shen Guyan took the children back to the inn, looking forward to the official start of the Grand Competition tomorrow.

After returning to the inn, the five children were still immersed in their interaction with Tang Wulin and the others.

Yu Qin sat on the edge of the bed and said with a look of longing, "Young Master, Shrek Academy sounds so amazing; it would be great if we could go there to study too."

Gu Qi also nodded from the side, "Yes, Young Master, the Cultivation methods and experiences they were talking about just now really opened my eyes."

Shen Guyan sat in a chair, looked at the children's longing eyes, and said, "Shrek Academy is indeed a cradle for Spirit Masters, gathering countless Geniuses.

But we also have our own path to follow. As long as you Cultivate hard and constantly improve yourselves, you can also make a name for yourselves in the future.

Moreover, this trip to Tianhai City is an important opportunity for your growth, so seize it well."

Tang Shi said seriously, "Don't worry, Young Master, we will definitely work hard.

Seeing Big Brother Tang and the others today, I realized that I still have many shortcomings. I will definitely study hard while watching the Grand Competition."

Wu Hua and Xiao Jian also expressed that they wanted to draw experience from the Grand Competition to improve themselves.

Shen Guyan smiled with gratification and said, "Good, get some rest early. Tomorrow we will go to the competition venue to observe the matches properly."

The children responded one after another, and after washing up, they each went to bed to rest.

Watching the children as they fell asleep, Shen Guyan was full of anticipation; he believed that after this experience, the children would definitely grow a lot.
