Douluo Continent: Starting with the Fire-Breathing Dragon Martial Soul!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu frowned, slammed her hand on the table, and said loudly:

"Alright, alright, we're lucky to have anything to eat. What are you waiting for? Lin Mo is treating us, don't spoil the mood!"

"Yes, yes, let's eat!"

"Thank you, Brother Lin Mo!"

"I'm really lucky to have Lin Mo here today. It's my first time enjoying the second floor of the cafeteria."

At Xiao Wu's invitation, everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to eat heartily, ceasing their discussions of unnecessary topics.

The food on the second floor of the cafeteria is indeed much better than that on the first floor, and the quality of the ingredients is also significantly higher.

Lin Mo looked around at the excited expressions of everyone, paused for a moment, and with a slight thought, a red light flashed, and the little fire dragon appeared at his feet.

"Woo-hoo?" The little fire dragon raised its head, its eyes filled with confusion, seemingly not understanding why it had suddenly been summoned here by Lin Mo.

"I'll give you an extra meal today," Lin Mo said with a smile, picking up a few pieces of stewed meat and placing them on the plate in front of the little dragon.

The little dragon sniffed the air, and the flames on its tail suddenly intensified.

I was very excited.

It lowered its head and began to eat heartily, but compared to the lush green vegetables, the higher-calorie meat was clearly more to its liking.

Its appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Wow, Lin Mo, you've summoned the little fire dragon too!" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and she instinctively reached out to touch it.

But remembering the experience of almost being burned by Charmander's flames last time, he reluctantly withdrew his hand.

Lin Mo silently observed the little dragon's reaction. Just as he had expected, the little dragon was able to replenish its energy by eating human food, just like Luo Sanpao.

Moreover, it clearly prefers meat, which has a higher calorie content, compared to vegetarian dishes.

It ate with relish, quickly finishing off the meat on the plate in front of it, then raised its head and looked at Lin Mo expectantly.

Lin Mo smiled and put a few more pieces of meat on its plate.

Seeing the little fire dragon wolfing down its food, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

"Can one also gain a slight boost by digesting food?" Lin Mo wondered to himself.

He could vaguely sense that after the little dragon finished eating, the soul power he shared with the little dragon seemed to have increased by a tiny, almost negligible amount.

This is indeed a new path to enhance soul power!

Although the improvement each time is tiny, over time the accumulated improvement will surely be quite considerable.

After all, eating is something we do every day.

However, to Lin Mo's slight disappointment, the food provided on the second floor of the Notting College cafeteria, although of much better quality than that on the first floor, was still just ordinary livestock and poultry meat and vegetables.

The academy is not so extravagant as to use soul beast meat as an ingredient to make food.

"If only I could eat food made from the flesh of soul beasts..." Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh to himself.

The energy contained in the flesh of a spirit beast is far greater than that of ordinary meat.

If it can be consumed regularly, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to both nourishing his own martial soul and enhancing the little fire dragon's soul power.

But he was also quite clear that this was just his unrealistic idea, as the flesh of soul beasts was extremely precious.

Even if Notting College did have the means to obtain it and dared to sell it, the price would be absolutely staggering.

With the monthly subsidy he receives from the Spirit Hall as a one-ring Soul Master, plus the meager salary from his part-time job, he absolutely cannot afford to indulge in Soul Beast meat dishes.

One gold soul coin is enough to cover the expenses of an average family of three for several months, but in the world of soul masters, especially when it comes to cultivation resources, it becomes extremely scarce.

The subsidies currently provided by the Spirit Hall are only enough to cover his normal living expenses; they are far from sufficient for any luxurious enjoyment he desires.

……

While Lin Mo was pondering these questions, Xiao Chenyu and his group of senior students arrived at the second floor of the cafeteria.

They immediately spotted the special creature—a little fire dragon—buried in its meat at Lin Mo's feet.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Xiao Chenyu's eyes as he wanted to get closer to take a look, but he quickly noticed Xiao Wu sitting next to Lin Mo, engrossed in eating braised pork ribs.

Xiao Wu seemed to sense something, and suddenly raised her head. Her big eyes, filled with a hint of hostility, glared precisely at Xiao Chenyu. She even deliberately brandished her fist at him.

Xiao Chenyu's body stiffened instantly, a hint of embarrassment and fear appearing on his face. He quickly withdrew his feet and, along with his followers, sheepishly found a seat away from Lin Mo and his group.

Over the past six months, he has been beaten up by Xiao Wu under the pretext of "sparring" countless times. Now, he is like a mouse seeing a cat whenever he sees Xiao Wu, and he would never dare to come over and provoke her.

……

Wang Sheng finished gnawing on a large bone, let out a satisfied burp, and wiped his greasy mouth with the back of his hand.

He glanced at Lin Mo, then at Xiao Wu who was "fighting" with a meaty bone, and a look of intense curiosity appeared on his face.

He leaned closer to Lin Mo and lowered his voice, but almost everyone at the table could hear him: "Lin Mo, to be honest, I'm quite curious."

Now that you've obtained your first spirit ring and your strength has increased significantly, who is stronger between you and Sister Xiao Wu?

The moment the question was asked, the table quieted down considerably, and the other work-study students also perked up their ears, clearly quite interested in the question Wang Sheng had posed.

In their eyes, Lin Mo, Tang San, and Xiao Wu had become the leaders of the work-study students at Notting Academy.

Of these three, Xiao Wu is significantly stronger than Tang San. The two have sparred more than once, a fact witnessed by many.

Compared to Xiao Wu and Tang San, Lin Mo, whose cultivation speed was incredibly fast, seemed much more mysterious.

Lin Mo never made a move in front of everyone. When he first arrived at Dormitory 7, he declined the sparring match by citing his lack of combat skills.

At the time, everyone understood Lin Mo's choice, since Lin Mo's little fire dragon had not yet hatched, and in a real fight, it was highly likely that he would not be a match for Tang San and Xiao Wu.

But right now, Lin Mo's little fire dragon martial soul has successfully hatched, and like Tang San and Xiao Wu, he has a hundred-year soul ring.

This made everyone curious about who among the three was the strongest and who was the weakest.

Xiao Wu, who was struggling with the meat bone, heard Wang Sheng's words and suddenly slammed the bone into the bowl with a "smack".

She looked up, her delicate fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and a "kind" smile appeared on her face as she looked at Wang Sheng:

"Wang Sheng, I think you're asking for trouble, aren't you? Want me to loosen up your muscles right now?"

Wang Sheng shrank back in fright and quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no! Sister Xiao Wu, I was wrong! I was just asking casually, just asking casually!"

He didn't want to be used as a punching bag by Xiao Wu after he had eaten and drunk his fill.

Seeing this, Lin Mo simply smiled and didn't respond to Wang Sheng's comment. He picked up his water glass, took a sip, and acted as if he didn't want to get involved in the topic.
