Chapter 71

Upon entering the fifth floor, he naturally stepped into another level. The bloodline power of the Wind Wolf Lord had yet to be fully digested. To absorb this pure energy, it would take at least a week. By then, Tang San felt that his Profound Heaven Skill should be able to make a significant leap at the fifth level.

Killing powerful demons and devouring them was undoubtedly a shortcut for him to enhance his cultivation. However, his current strength was still too weak, and the possibility of exposure was also significant. If it weren't for the fact that the Wind Wolf Lord was already severely injured that day, Tang San might not have been able to win even now when he recalled it.

Through that battle, Tang San also increasingly felt that his understanding of the demon race was still far from enough. He hoped that after entering Redemption Academy, he could learn more knowledge here. This was the most important thing for him.

His Wind Blade Mark was also unsurprisingly upgraded to the fifth level, making his perception of wind elements even stronger. Previously, when facing the mayor Zhang Haoxuan, the cultivation gap was too large, and he had no chance to display it. In fact, his current combat power had significantly improved compared to when he faced the Wind Wolf Lord.

The higher his cultivation, the better he could utilize and apply the abilities from his past life's memories. Many of them were applicable to this world.

"Eat! Eat!" At this moment, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door. The next moment, a knock sounded.

Tang San ended his introspection and opened the door to find Du Bai.

Their eyes met, and Du Bai clearly looked a bit awkward. He coughed and said, "I didn't expect your mental power to be so strong, hehehe, Tang San, we'll be brothers from now on."

Tang San found it hard to keep up with his跳跃的思维, and said helplessly, "Is your eye okay? I heard Senior Sister Cheng Zicheng said you need to rest for a while."

Du Bai was quite carefree, "It's fine, it's fine. The first time I saw the teacher, I ended up like this too, even worse. I thought I was going to go blind. I cried out in pain to get more attention from the teacher. Come on, let's go eat. It's your first day here, and I heard they have something delicious to welcome you. The mayor is also here."

His eyes were clearly somewhat dim, clearly due to the impact from the previous eye contact.

The two left the room, and Du Bai led the way to the cafeteria. As they walked, he lowered his voice and asked, "Tang San, what ability did you cultivate in your eyes? What's that purple? It's not the Wind Wolf Transformation, right? It's really powerful!"

Tang San replied, "It's a natural ability of mine. My Wind Wolf Transformation might have mutated a bit."

"Oh, no wonder. Powerful, powerful. When I reach the fourth level, I'll try to make eye contact with you again." Du Bai didn't doubt it. In Redemption Academy, everyone's abilities were already varied and strange. If it were just a regular demon god transformation, they wouldn't have the qualifications to be here.

The cafeteria was on the west side of the courtyard, in an open wooden house. As soon as they entered, a rich aroma greeted them.

Having been in this world for nine years, Tang San had long given up hope for the food here. Regardless of the ingredients, they were basically boiled or grilled, with a bit of salt added, and that was it.

The taste couldn't be described as good or bad. When the ingredients were fresh, it was still okay, but most of the time, it could be described as tasteless.

But when he entered the cafeteria today, his perception was refreshed. The rich aroma of the food was mouth-watering. The long table was filled with various dishes. Although the cooking methods hadn't improved much, the smell alone was quite pleasant.

Some of the ingredients were new to Tang San. In the center was a large plate over a meter in diameter, holding a whole animal that had been cooked. In terms of food, this plate could be described as a behemoth.

What a huge lump! The strongest aroma also came from this plate.

Du Bai sucked in his breath and laughed, "We're in for a treat. This is a low-level demon beast called a Flying Rat. It's a flying rodent with tender meat. It's only found in our Jialin Mountains. Because it flies fast, it's very hard to catch. One of these can sell for thirty to fifty demon coins. We can only eat it once or twice a month. The meat of demon beasts has the effect of strengthening bloodlines. Even in Jialin City, only the nobles can afford it."

Demon beast meat? Tang San had never eaten it before. But when he heard it was a rat, his appetite wasn't as strong as when he first entered.

At this moment, the teachers and students of Redemption Academy had also gathered in the cafeteria. As a new arrival, Tang San was naturally seated at the end of the table.

Seeing the boiled Flying Rat, the students' eyes all sparkled, clearly eager for the demon beast meat.

Mayor Zhang Haoxuan sat at the head of the table and, seeing everyone gathered, said, "Today, we welcome Tang San to our big family. From today on, he is one of us, and I have officially taken him as my disciple. In the future, everyone should love and support each other, cultivate together, and progress together."

A disciple?

Upon hearing that Zhang Haoxuan had taken Tang San as a disciple, the students and even the teachers couldn't help but show surprise.

Siyu, who had been smiling all along, clearly showed a few signs of surprise in his eyes, clearly shocked by the news of taking a disciple.

He turned to look at Zhang Haoxuan, but Zhang Haoxuan, as if not sensing his gaze, stood up, walked to the boiled Flying Rat, tore off a rat leg, and then came to Tang San, placing it on his plate.

Tang San's mouth twitched, thinking to himself, Teacher, can I not eat it?

But in front of so many people, he couldn't refuse Zhang Haoxuan's face. He could only say, "Thank you, Teacher."

"Everyone, let's eat." At Zhang Haoxuan's command, the students didn't hesitate and almost instantly started.

When dinner began, Tang San understood why Zhang Haoxuan had given him a rat leg.

Three seconds, really just three seconds, and the largest plate was empty.

The speed was so fast that Tang San only saw a blur, and the boiled Flying Rat had vanished.

The teachers didn't touch it, only eating other dishes. The entire Flying Rat was divided among the students.

The teachers were already used to this. Du Bai's voice came to Tang San's ear, "Eat quickly, the fast hands get it, the slow hands miss it."

Tang San understood and didn't hesitate, eating quickly. He wasn't picky about food. He first forced himself to eat the rat leg, then moved on to other dishes.

Since the other students were busy fighting over the Flying Rat, no one competed with him for other food.

The meat of the Flying Rat was elastic, with no strange smell and a unique aroma. Aside from the psychological factor, it was still acceptable. After eating it, his stomach felt warm, and a warm current spread throughout his body. Clearly, what Du Bai said was true; demon beast meat did have the effect of nourishing bloodlines.

The entire dinner, no one spoke, completely adhering to the rule of not talking during meals. When the last bit of residue was swept away, the table was left with only empty plates.

Tang San also ate a lot. It had to be said that this was the best meal he had eaten since coming to this world. Although the taste was still the same, at least the ingredients were good! Whether vegetables or meat, they were all very fresh.
