Chapter 640 Choosing a Soul Beast
"Nannan, the outer hall's forging materials inventory is running low. Be sure to remind Hall Master Huang to start ordering supplies in two days."
"Nannan, the next batch of soul tools needs to be shipped to Xingluo. Please make a note for it."
"Nannan, I'm hungry!"
Jiang Nannan reluctantly closed her notebook, glanced at Tang Ya who was slumped in her office chair rubbing her stomach, and said, "Xiao Ya, if you're hungry, go to the cafeteria to get some food. The menu has been updated recently, and they have your favorite roast goose."
"Hehe! I've been waiting for you to say that! Let's go! Let's go eat!" Tang Ya jumped to Jiang Nannan's side instantly and sat in Jiang Nannan's lap without any hesitation.
"No! There's still an hour before the end of the workday. Go by yourself if you want. I still have a few documents to review." Jiang Nannan pressed down on Tang Ya, who was trying to get closer, and pushed her restless little head away.
"Oh dear! The sun will be high in the sky in half an hour, let's go a little earlier!" Tang Ya muttered.
Jiang Nannan breathed a slight sigh of relief and reached out to tug at Tang Ya's chubby cheeks. "Eat, eat, eat! Look how much weight you've gained!"
"Who was it that said they were too busy and needed me to be their secretary? Why is the sect leader so lazy now?"
Tang Ya glanced down at her slightly protruding belly, covered it with her hand, and blushed slightly. "My body's absorption is just too good! Plus, the weather's been cool lately, so my appetite's increased!"
"What about your training time? Training always consumes energy, right?" Jiang Nannan reached out and patted Tang Ya's belly, eliciting a coquettish reproach from the latter.
"What are you doing! Don't pat my wisdom sediment!" Tang Ya protected her little belly, her little mouth pouting slightly.
"Being fat is being fat, what's with all this talk about wisdom and maturity?" Jiang Nannan smiled slightly.
"But it's quite cute."
Tang Ya snorted twice, proudly straightening her back. "I also train! I cultivate every day, but unfortunately, I just can't fully absorb this wisdom."
"If you don't lose weight, Beibei will personally drag you to lose weight!" Jiang Nannan tidied up the documents on the table, got up, and took Tang Ya's arm as they walked towards the cafeteria.
"Beibei wouldn't do that, he really likes it!" Tang Ya said in a slightly embarrassed voice.
"Beibei used to say I was too thin, but now it feels nice to hug."
"Really?" Jiang Nannan looked down and touched her flat, firm belly.
Should I try to gain some weight?
Tang Ya saw Jiang Nannan rubbing her stomach and immediately understood what the latter was thinking. "Hmm, little girl, what naughty things are you thinking about?"
"snort!"
When the two women arrived at the cafeteria, three of their companions were already there, enjoying their meal.
"Sister Xiaoya, Sister Nannan." Xiao Xiao waved and greeted them.
"Xiao Xiao, could you explain what's going on with those two?" Tang Ya asked.
In front of her were two small pillars made of stacked plates, and looking down, she could see her two younger sisters intently eating.
"Well, I just happened to be passing by and bought some snacks when I saw Dong'er and Qiu'er eating here. I don't know what happened!" Xiao Xiao shook her head and smiled helplessly.
Hearing the noise, Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er both looked up and greeted Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan. Then they exchanged a glance, their eyes seemingly sparking with unspoken tension.
"Are you two having a competition? A contest to see who can eat the most?" Tang Ya stretched out her small hand and counted the number of plates piled up next to the two girls. There were nearly thirty plates in total.
"No, I was just having a meal." *2
Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er answered in unison, then glared at each other again.
Jiang Nannan stepped forward, blocking their eye contact, and reached out to pinch Qiu'er's chubby cheeks.
"Just eat properly! What kind of eating contest are you two having! Put down your buns!" Jiang Nannan glared at Qiu'er, who already had a bulging belly.
Qiu'er reluctantly put down the plate of large meat buns in her hand, blinked her big eyes, which were clear yet foolish, and tried to get away with being cute.
"One more, please?"
"Oops! Don't twist your ear! I was wrong!"
"I'm afraid you'll stuff yourself to death!" Jiang Nannan sat down next to Qiu'er and started her lecturing mode.
Tang Ya smiled and brought Wang Dong'er over as well. The two of them sat down in front of Jiang Nannan.
After giving a lecture, Jiang Nannan learned that the Beast Fighting Area would be open this afternoon, and core disciples who needed to obtain Soul Rings could go and see if there were any Soul Beasts they liked.
Huo Yuhao needed to participate in the Soul Ring selection in the Beast Fighting Zone in the afternoon, so Wang Dong'er planned to come over for lunch first, and then pack lunch for Huo Yuhao to take over. She happened to run into Qiu'er, who was starving after beating up all the inner disciples.
The two were just exchanging normal greetings before having dinner, but then for some reason they started arguing.
"It's not my fault, it's not my fault, it's not my fault!" Qiu'er shook her little head. "I just came to have a meal!"
"Me too, I just suddenly wanted to eat more today!" Wang Dong'er smiled sheepishly and reached out to hook her arm around Jiang Nannan's, acting coquettishly.
"You two!" Jiang Nannan vigorously rubbed the two rebellious little heads, finally letting the two naughty boys go.
"Watch out, you might turn into a big fat girl!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er and Qiu'er both looked down and then uncertainly touched their bellies.
"It's impossible for me to get fat!" Qiu'er smiled confidently. She was always looking for fights and the energy she expended was enough for the Tang Clan's canteen to open a special window just for her.
Wang Dong'er was a little conflicted. In fact, she had already gained some weight, even though she had been training very hard these past few days.
"It's okay! Yuhao said it's good for me to be a little chubby!" Wang Dong'er quickly regained her confidence.
"Yuhao is still waiting for me to feed him! Sister Nannan, I'm leaving now!"
"Oh dear, I haven't challenged a hundred people yet today, I'm off too!"
Wang Dong'er and Qiu'er slipped away from Jiang Nannan at almost the same time.
"Is it okay to be a little chubby?" Jiang Nannan asked, pinching her long, firm thighs with some confusion.
That evening, Ye Nanxiao, who had just made a video call, was stumped by Jiang Nannan's first question.
"What do you think of me being a little chubby?" Jiang Nannan asked expectantly.
The latest novel is first published here!
A life-or-death question?
Fox, what did I do wrong?
Ye Nanxiao pondered for a moment, repeatedly recalling what he had done this month, or what anniversaries he had forgotten.
"Nannan, I brought the keyboard, but I need to know where I went wrong, right?"
"."
Shrek Academy, the Beast Fighting Zone.
The head of the Beast Fighting Area, a professional feeding technician and cleaner, Elder Gong Changlong took the application documents handed over by Cai Meier, glanced at the group of students lined up waiting to observe the soul beasts, nodded slightly, and opened the gate to the Beast Fighting Area.
"You brat! Behave yourself! I'm watching you!" Elder Gong stared at Huo Yuhao, slowly wiping the broom in his hand. The gleaming wooden stick seemed to be warning Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao gave an embarrassed smile and quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, I'm just here to take a look!"
"Hmph, I'll follow you, kid!" Elder Gong, carrying a broom, slowly followed behind Huo Yuhao.
Since its establishment, the Beast Fighting Zone has experienced two major earthquakes. The scene of the soul beasts collectively convulsing and losing control of their bladders is still vivid in people's minds. Huo Yuhao was the source of one of these earthquakes, which is why Elder Gong has a very deep impression of him.
"You can only stand ten meters away from each cage when you go in, and your observation time cannot exceed half an hour. Once you have made your choice, you must leave immediately," Elder Gong said loudly.
Under Elder Gong's intense gaze, all the trainees quickly sprinkled odor-repelling powder on their bodies and hurried into each of the different areas.
Huo Yuhao walked slowly in the middle of the passage, standing quietly at each simulated area, his eyes flashing with blue light. The ten-meter distance had no effect on him at all.
He saw the fur, scales, muscle shape, and mental state of every single soul beast.
The spirit beasts in the surrounding simulated area merely glanced at him before shifting their gaze and turning to glare angrily at the other students.
"Hey, this kid's got some tricks up his sleeve." Elder Gong followed behind Huo Yuhao. He could sense the spiritual fluctuations emanating from Huo Yuhao. This kid had changed his appearance, which was why the soul beasts weren't wary of him.
"The Wind Chaser Leopard, Flame Lion, and Earth-Bearing Scorpion are all very aggressive and in excellent condition, even better than the soul beasts in the outside forest. No wonder the academy spent a lot of resources to build this fighting arena." Huo Yuhao observed the glass wall that trapped the soul beasts with great interest. There were ten sets of core magic array sequences on it.
"You brat!" Elder Gong appeared beside Huo Yuhao, staring at him with a serious expression.
"Hey! Wait a minute! Elder Gong! This kid isn't here to choose a soul beast, he's here to go through the formalities!" Huo Yuhao quickly said.
Elder Gong raised an eyebrow. "Following procedure?"
Students who choose their spirit rings are divided into two groups. One group finds a spirit beast they like in the academy's beast fighting area and exchanges their academic credits and contributions for a spirit ring.
Another option is to come to the Beast Fighting Area to observe, and if you find that there are no suitable Soul Beasts, you need to join the academy's hunting team to go out and obtain Soul Rings.
Huo Yuhao's meaning clearly indicates that he falls into the second category.
"Well, you can take your time looking around, but don't scare the soul beasts! Otherwise, you'll be staying here to clean the floor!" Elder Gong's expression softened instantly. He patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder and then walked away.
Seeing Elder Gong walk away, Huo Yuhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. One of the most hot-tempered elders in the academy was indeed worthy of his reputation.
"Senior Tang Qi said there would be better soul beasts to choose from outside. What kind of soul beasts are they?" Huo Yuhao looked at a giant bear behind the glass wall and fell into deep thought.
Choosing a suitable spirit ring is extremely important, but Tang Qi did not tell Huo Yuhao his reasons for choosing it, nor did he specify what kind of spirit beast it was, which made Huo Yuhao puzzled.
However, as a senior who had awakened from the Golden Tree, Huo Yuhao still had a high level of trust in Tang Qi at this moment.
"I wonder how difficult it is to encounter the soul beast that you chose, senior. I should have asked Mud-chan. Or should I ask Sister Nan for her phone number later?"
