Chapter 4

The sky is vast, the earth is vast, but the most important thing is to have a full stomach. Only when you are full can you have the energy to exercise.

Zhou Xuan heard the bell and hurriedly left the Demon Suppressing Tower, rushing straight to the college cafeteria.

The college cafeteria was huge, with an extremely rich variety of dishes. Just the meat from demon beasts alone had nearly a hundred types. Everyone could come here to eat, including the mentors and the miscellaneous students.

"Auntie, give me a serving of spicy rabbit demon meat," Zhou Xuan said, already feeling hungry.

He watched as the meat in the spoon gradually decreased and quickly added, "Hey, Auntie, don't shake your hand."

The cafeteria lady was always the most mysterious. Her body was clearly healthy, but her hands would tremble.

Look, she scooped a full spoonful of meat.

But by the time it reached your bowl, the meat was only a third of what it was.

"Auntie, no, Sister, give me a serving of cold marinated pig's ear, your hand..."

"Calling me Sister won't help; it will still shake," the cafeteria lady said expressionlessly.

Being ugly means you don't have the qualifications to travel through time. Is my charm not enough? Zhou Xuan looked at the unmoved cafeteria lady and felt a bit doubtful about life.

Because the cafeteria lady's hands shook so much, he had to order two more dishes.

A serving of spicy rabbit demon meat, a serving of cold marinated pig's ear, a serving of braised lion demon head, a serving of wolfberry stewed chicken demon meat, plus three steaming white buns, that was Zhou Xuan's lunch.

Many demon beast meats can nourish the body and are beneficial for cultivation.

The higher the level of the demon beast, the higher the nutritional value and the more nourishing it is. Of course, the price is also more expensive.

In "A Treatise on Ten Thousand Ways to Eat Demon Beasts," there are even recipes for dragon liver and phoenix marrow.

Zhou Xuan smacked his lips; those top-tier ingredients must be very delicious.

After finishing his meal, he was full of energy.

He didn't linger, left the cafeteria, and hurried back to the Demon Suppressing Tower.

On the way, he met someone.

The person was wearing a windbreaker, riding a demon beast, and holding a long spear.

His name was Song Fan, who had entered the Demon Suppressing Academy with Zhou Xuan a month ago.

The difference was that Zhou Xuan entered the Demon Suppressing Tower to do miscellaneous work, while Song Fan was noticed by a senior mentor and became a key cultivation target of the academy.

Song Fan saw Zhou Xuan and immediately struck a pose, saying, "Xiaoxuan, how about it, does my knightly style get a perfect score?"

Zhou Xuan glanced at him, then at the demon beast under him, and said, "Two days without seeing you, and you've become a dog knight?"

Sometimes, the distance between you and a knight is just a dog.

The demon beast under Song Fan was a Siberian Husky, two and a half meters long.

In the Extraordinary Era, the Husky awakened its wolf bloodline, completed its evolution, and became strong and powerful, exuding a demonic aura.

Song Fan, hearing this, said irritably, "Hey, this isn't a dog, it's a wolf!"

At that moment, a female student passed by, leading a small female wolf.

The Husky under Song Fan saw her and immediately started drooling. The next moment, it shot out like a rocket, heading straight for the small female wolf.

Spring had come, and all things were reviving.

The Husky's speed broke a hundred meters in just a few seconds.

It really accelerated to a hundred kilometers without fuel, all thanks to a small female wolf.

Song Fan was caught off guard and was thrown off.

He cursed, "This stupid dog..."

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "Hey, who's that female student? Not bad figure."

After saying that, he ran off, not forgetting to look back at Zhou Xuan, "See you later."

Zhou Xuan, seeing this, couldn't help but shake his head, "Truly, the dog is like its owner, both have the same character... Speaking of which, her figure is indeed not bad."

He returned to the Demon Suppressing Tower, fed the demon beasts that needed feeding, and then immersed himself in cultivation.

However, he hadn't cultivated for long when someone came.

Two students, one fat and one thin.

Zhou Xuan had dealt with them before and knew their names: one was Zhang Can, the other was Lu Si.

They came to collect raw materials from the demon beasts for other uses.

As a miscellaneous worker, Zhou Xuan didn't have much to say to them; he only opened the doors.

He first opened the door to Room 1 and saw the ox demon, with a bundle of uneaten grass beside it.

"The grass isn't eaten, looks like it's not hungry," Zhou Xuan said.

"I want to eat meat, not grass," the ox demon smacked its lips.

Zhou Xuan chuckled, "Cows eat grass, what meat?"

The ox demon, hearing this, hurriedly said, "I'm not a cow, I'm an ox demon!"

Zhou Xuan: "..."

A white horse is not a horse, an ox demon is not a cow?

He didn't say anything more, turned around, and brought half a cow's leg, "Eat it."

When the ox demon saw the meat, its eyes lit up. But when it got close, its expression changed instantly.

"Is this beef?"

"Yes," Zhou Xuan nodded.

"I, the old ox, don't eat beef," the ox demon's nostrils flared.

Zhou Xuan glared at him, "So many rules, you're not a cow."

...

Zhang Can and Lu Si didn't care whether the ox demon was a cow or whether it ate grass or meat; they just did their job.

After they went in, they cleanly and neatly cut off the ox demon's horns.

Cutting off the ox demon's horns wouldn't kill it; after a period of time, new horns would grow back, and the quality would be just as good.

The ox demon's horns contained power and could be used to make weapons, such as daggers. Of course, they could also be used to make signal horns.

This was the value of the ox demon; otherwise, it would have been eaten long ago.

When they left, Zhou Xuan left the large piece of beef and took the bundle of grass away.

"My grass..." The ox demon instantly felt like it was over.

Zhou Xuan wrote in his work log: Today, the yellow ox demon had some issues, didn't eat grass, ate half a cow's leg.

After writing, he opened the door to Room 2, where the turtle demon was pretending to be dead. However, it couldn't escape its fate of being harvested.

Lu Si played with a short knife and looked at the turtle demon, "Do you want to take off your shell yourself, or should we help you?"

The turtle demon, seeing it couldn't escape, took off its shell on its own.

As a demon beast, it had already evolved; taking off its shell wouldn't kill it. After a month or so, a new shell would grow back, and it would be even harder and more defensive.

When passing by Room 3, Zhou Xuan threw the bundle of grass inside.

"Damn, you actually make me, the bear, eat grass?" came the angry voice of the raging bear, "I'm not human, but you're really a dog!"

"You've eaten grass before, why are you complaining?" Zhou Xuan said indifferently.

The raging bear, hearing this, was stunned; it was a sad story.

Zhou Xuan wrote in his work log: Today, the raging bear demon had a manic episode, didn't eat meat, ate a bundle of grass.

Next, they went to the room where the lightning marten was kept to collect its venom.

The venom of the lightning marten was very valuable, useful for dealing with demon beasts and for medicinal purposes.

"None left, not a drop," the lightning marten deliberately opened its mouth wide.

"Strange, the amount seems a bit less this time," the fat Zhang Can said, puzzled.

What he didn't know was that Zhou Xuan had taken two drops in the morning.

Zhou Xuan stood silently to the side, holding a "spicy stick," without saying a word.

The lightning marten, seeing the "spicy stick" in Zhou Xuan's hand, also didn't say anything.

Although Zhang Can was a bit puzzled, he didn't investigate further. After all, it was only a drop or two, within the normal range.

He wouldn't suspect Zhou Xuan.

He only saw Zhou Xuan's strength after using the Turtle Breathing Technique, at Silver Rank Four, and wouldn't think that Zhou Xuan had already reached Silver Rank Nine.

After collecting the venom, they spent over an hour in other rooms and then left.

Zhou Xuan saw them off and could finally focus on his own affairs.

He had evolved his Star Soul, his realm had soared, and his strength had increased dramatically.

However, his physical constitution needed to be improved.

There were many ways to improve his constitution, and taking a Bone Washing Pill was one of them.

So, he took out the Bone Washing Pill he had received from signing in yesterday.

The Bone Washing Pill was small, round, white, with special patterns on it.

The patterns were simple, indicating that it was a basic Bone Washing Pill, most suitable for Silver Rank Demon Hunters.

Zhou Xuan found a quiet corner and took the Bone Washing Pill.

The Bone Washing Pill melted in his mouth, turning into a warm stream that flowed throughout his body.

It felt warm and comfortable, and he couldn't help but shiver.
