Chapter 70: The Flesh of Demonic Beasts

Advancing to the fifth order was a huge move. Tang San had not yet fully assimilated the bloodline power of the Wind Wolf Lord. It would take at least a week to digest this pure energy fully. Once that was done, his Mysterious Heaven Technique could start moving forward once more.

Killing and devouring powerful demons was undoubtedly a shortcut to enhance his cultivation. However, his current strength was still too low, and the risk of exposure was high. If the Wind Wolf Town Lord hadn't been seriously injured that day and the circumstances hadn’t aligned just right, Tang San might not have been able to defeat it at all, let alone do it in secret.

That battle made Tang San realize his understanding of the demons was insufficient. He hoped that after entering the Redemption Academy, he could learn more knowledge here. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

His Wind Blade imprint had also unsurprisingly advanced to the fifth order, enhancing his perception of the wind element. Previously, facing Mayor Zhang Haoxuan, the gap in cultivation was too significant for him to display his abilities, but his combat power had increased significantly since facing the Wind Wolf Town Lord.

The higher his cultivation, the better he could operate and use the abilities from his previous life's memories, many of which could also work just as well in this world.

"Eating time! Eating time!" Just then, a familiar voice came from outside, followed by a knock on the door.

After his introspection, Tang San opened the door to find Du Bai standing there.

Their eyes met, and Du Bai, looking somewhat embarrassed, coughed and said, "Didn't expect you to have such strong spiritual power, hehe, Tang San. We are brothers from now on."

Tang San, unable to keep up with his erratic thought process, said helplessly, “Are your eyes okay? Cheng Zicheng said you needed some time to recover.”

Du Bai, however, was quite nonchalant. “No worries, no worries. The first time I looked at our teacher, it was worse than this. I thought I was going blind. My screaming earlier was a bit exaggerated, just to get more attention from the teacher. Let's go. It's time to eat. They say there's something special today to welcome you. The mayor is also here.”

His eyes were dim, evidently from the impact of their earlier eye contact.

They left the room, with Du Bai leading the way to the cafeteria. While walking, he lowered his voice and asked, "Tang San, what ability have you been cultivating in your eyes? What was that purple color? It doesn't seem like a Wind Wolf Transformation ability, right? It's super cool!"

Tang San replied, “It's one of my innate abilities, I think it must be a mutation of my Wind Wolf Transformation.”

He turned to look at Zhang Haoxuan, who stood up and ignored his gaze. The mayor walked over to the boiled Sky Rat, tore off a leg, and then went to Tang San and put it on his plate.

Tang San's mouth twitched, thinking to himself, Teacher, oh teacher, can I just not eat this?

But he couldn't just refuse Zhang Haoxuan's gesture in front of so many people! He could only steel himself and say, "Thank you, Teacher."

"Everyone, let’s eat," said Zhang Haoxuan, and the students, with no hint of restraint, sprang into action almost instantly.

As the dinner started, Tang San understood why Zhang Haoxuan had taken the initiative to give him a leg of the Sky Rat.

Three seconds, really just three seconds, and the enormous platter was empty.

Their movements were so fast that Tang San felt dizzy, and the boiled Sky Rat simply vanished.

The teachers didn't even touch it, simply eating the other dishes. The Sky Rat was entirely left for the students.

The teachers were accustomed to this. Du Bai's voice reached Tang San's ears, "Hurry up and eat. The quick get the most, the slow get none."

Tang San quickly understood and didn't dare to delay, eating rapidly. He wasn't picky about food. He gritted his teeth, ate the rat leg first, and then moved on to the other dishes.

Since the other students were busy dealing with the Sky Rat they had grabbed, no one competed with him for the other foods.

The meat of the Sky Rat was chewy, without any off-putting smell, and had a unique fragrance, which, if Tang San braved through the psychological factor, was actually pretty acceptable. As he ate it, he felt warmth spread throughout his body. Du Bai was right about the nourishing effects of demon beast meat on the bloodlines.

No one spoke during the dinner; it was silent from beginning to end. Only clean, empty plates remained on the table when the last bit of food was gone.

Tang San also ate quite a bit. This was without a doubt the best meal he had since arriving in this world. Although the taste was still not quite there, the ingredients were good; both the meat and the vegetables were fresh and high-quality.
