Besides their regular cultivation, these wild beasts are all incredibly voracious, especially Little Gold, whose meat consumption is at least dozens of times that of Su Wen in one meal.
If they eat at Aunt Lu's every meal, the inner courtyard canteen will probably be emptied in a few days.
Although he has five million gold soul coins in his pocket, judging by the way these three cubs eat, it will probably be completely empty in six months at most.
He didn't go to Elder Mu for help.
Instead, he simply went to the head of the Beast Fighting Area.
It was essentially a form of foster care. "
I will foster the soul beasts with you.
Hygiene, food, and accommodation (the Beast Fighting Area has received a lot of investment from the academy, covering a considerable area, and even provides special care for high-level soul beasts: their original living environment is simulated, for example, a specially provided arena environment from the far north for several Ice Jade Scorpions) will be your responsibility.
And these soul beasts can also help you deal with the students who come to challenge you, increasing your reputation."
There's still a year before the main storyline begins.
While "training," they can also gain practical combat experience.
Being wild soul beasts, they only have the instinct to hunt, but lack combat skills against humans.
It's a two-way street.
Of course, once they leave the academy, or if there's a battle, Su Wen will retrieve them.
(Because it's a martial soul, once a soul beast is captured, the Poké Ball will be linked to it. Since the Poké Ball exists in Su Wen's spiritual sea, he can summon the Pokémon from anywhere with a thought.)
Seeing Elder Gong's delighted agreement,
Su Wen yawned.
...
"Sister Xiao Tao, if you want my life, just say so. Why beat around the bush."
Su Wen's throat bobbed.
Looking at the stewed rhinoceros horn with green beans on the table, his lips twitched involuntarily.
The dark rhinoceros horn was boiled until tender.
This was the horn of a rhinoceros horn, a common "highly nutritious" ingredient, but the soup was thick and dark, and he didn't know what had been added.
The green beans at the top, bubbling with moisture, were clearly "fresh"—in other words, undercooked.
They were probably forgotten during cooking and just tossed in at the end.
White steam rose.
An indescribable odor filled his nostrils.
Su Wen's face turned green.
"How could Sister Xiao Tao harm you!" Ma Xiao Tao rolled her eyes.
"Believe me, this Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup was carefully prepared by me, taking a whole day to make. Try it..."
"Where did you learn that?" Su Wen's eyes narrowed, trying to stall for time.
"Never mind that, just tell me if you're going to eat it or not!" Ma Xiao Tao turned her head away guiltily.
"Try it."
Su Wen said calmly, his hand clenching tightly under the table.
With his other hand, he picked up a spoon and, under Ma Xiao Tao's expectant gaze, scooped up a "fresh" green bean.
It seemed to be the only edible thing present.
Its full name was Earth Crystal Green Bean, a type of plant-based soul beast, quite popular in a certain eastern province of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
"Crunch, crunch~"
As Su Wen chewed and swallowed expressionlessly, Ma Xiaotao's heart leaped into her throat.
"Is it good?" she asked cautiously.
"It's very good." Su Wen nodded.
"That's good."
Ma Xiaotao beamed, preparing to turn around and go to the kitchen to get Su Wen a large bowl.
"Don't make it next time." Su Wen stirred the dark, gooey food in the bowl, looking utterly hopeless.
Ma Xiaotao: "???"
"..."
"Then eat more~"
Ma Xiaotao sat at the table, propping her chin up, blinking her eyes, her eyelashes almost touching Su Wen's face.
"Hey, Xiao Wen, there's news about what you asked me to inquire about."
Yan Shaozhe rushed in.
"Jiang Nannan is indeed."
A glance at the tonic soup on the table, her expression one of astonishment: "Is this for feeding soul beasts?"
He glanced at Ma Xiaotao with surprise, "I didn't expect you to be so reliable."
He moved closer, dipped a little soup in his chopsticks, and sniffed it, but suddenly frowned and said, "Don't serve it to the soul beasts.
This pot of mixed stew is too poisonous.
Xiao Jin and the others are only thousand-year-old soul beasts.
Their physiques aren't strong enough.
They might not be able to withstand this pot of soup."
Su Wen:
"..."
Ma Xiaotao:
"..."
Su Wen stared intently at Ma Xiaotao, with a sense of powerlessness after surviving a disaster: "Look me in the eyes!"
Ma Xiaotao felt guilty and quickly left with the pot: "I'll go clean up the kitchen. You guys chat~"
"You ate it?" Yan Shaozhe secretly leaned over.
"I ate a green bean."
Su Wen said expressionlessly.
"Then it shouldn't kill you no, it's nothing serious." Yan Shaozhe smiled slyly.
Su Wen:
"..."
"You said you had news about Jiang Nannan?"
"That's right.
I recently asked Du Weilun to inquire about her.
Her father passed away early, and she lives with her birth mother.
Now her birth mother is critically ill, and she has taken leave in the past few months to return to the Heavenly Soul Empire to help her mother with her medical treatment."
Su Wen saw a flash of anger in Yan Shaozhe's eyes.
It was most likely a teacher from Shrek Academy who had kept this matter a secret.
Well, it wasn't exactly a secret, but rather that they simply didn't take it seriously, let alone report it to Du Weilun or him.
"Zhou Yi?" Su Wen raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm? How do you know about her?" Yan Shaozhe asked, looking surprised.
Su Wen's lips twitched.
It really was her.
She was quite infamous in the original work.
"It's not her, it's another second-year class teacher, Yang He."
But then Yan Shaozhe shook his head, "Although Zhou Yi's reputation isn't great, she still cares a lot about outstanding students, after all, that's her assessment criterion."
Yan Shaozhe shook his head, glancing at Su Wen with a playful look.
"Yang He? Never heard of him." Su Wen shrugged.
"You wouldn't know unless you investigated. This bastard has amassed over ten million gold soul coins by extorting money from students."
Yan Shaozhe said coldly and angrily.
"Shrek Academy students are really rich"
Su Wen clicked his tongue in amazement.
But he also knew.
If Yang He hadn't been so extremely greedy, using his position as a teacher to extort money from students while suppressing Jiang Nannan's letter of plea to the academy, leaving Yan Shaozhe, Du Weilun, and others completely unaware, Dean Yan probably wouldn't be so angry.
Students are the foundation of a school. If you're digging up the foundation, do you still want to stay in the outer academy?
He'll probably be dismissed in a few days, or disappear.
"There are still experts."
Su Wen could only sigh.
Yan Shaozhe was also a little embarrassed.
After all, he had full authority over the Martial Soul Department, and now this kind of blunder had occurred especially in front of Su Wen.
"Your management of the academy is for the future.
The most urgent thing is to prevent Jiang Nannan from going astray," Su Wen reminded him.
"A helpless girl forced onto a dark path—that would be all thanks to your Martial Soul Department."
"You brat."
Yan Shaozhe glared at Su Wen, his teeth aching.
"Fine, then let's go to the Xuanming Sect."
Clearly, as an old fox, considering the overall situation, he immediately saw through the Xuanming Sect's scheme.
