Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 35 Who said these green beans are old?

Besides their regular cultivation, these wild beasts are all incredibly greedy, especially Little Gold, whose meat consumption is at least dozens of times that of Su Wen in one meal. If they eat at Aunt Lu's every meal, the inner courtyard canteen will probably be emptied out in a few days.

Although he had five million gold soul coins in his pocket, judging by the way these three kids ate, it would probably be gone in six months at most.

He didn't ask Old Mu for help.

Instead, they simply went to the head of the Colosseum District.

It is equivalent to a form of foster care.

I will entrust my soul beasts to you. You will be responsible for their hygiene, diet, and accommodation (the Beast Fighting Area has received a lot of investment from the academy and covers a large area. It even provides special care for high-level soul beasts: their original living environment is simulated. For example, a venue environment from the far north has been specially provided for several Ice Jade Scorpions).

These spirit beasts can also help you deal with the students who come to challenge you and increase your reputation.

With just one year left before the main storyline begins, they can gain practical experience while "training" each other. As wild soul beasts, they only have the instinct to hunt, but they lack combat skills against humans.

It's a two-way journey.

Of course, once he leaves the academy, or if there is a battle, Su Wen will retrieve it. (Because it is a martial soul, once a soul beast is captured, the Poké Ball will be linked to the soul beast. Since the Poké Ball exists in Su Wen's spiritual sea, as long as Su Wen has a thought, he can summon the Pokémon through the Poké Ball no matter where it is.)
Seeing that Elder Gong was all smiles, he agreed.

Su Wen yawned.

……

"Sister Tao, if you want my life, just say so. Why beat around the bush..."

Su Wen's throat bobbed.

Looking at the stewed green beans and rhinoceros horn on the table in front of him, his lips twitched involuntarily. The dark rhinoceros horn was boiled until it was mushy. This was the horn of a rhinoceros, a common "highly nutritious" ingredient, but the soup was thick and dark, and he didn't know what had been put in it.

The green beans at the top, bubbling with moisture, were clearly "fresh"—in other words, undercooked. They were probably forgotten during cooking and just tossed in at the end.

White mist rose.

An indescribable odor entered my nostrils.

Su Wen's face turned green.

"How could Sister Xiaotao harm you!" Ma Xiaotao rolled her beautiful eyes. "Trust me, this nourishing soup was carefully prepared by me, it took me a whole day to make, try it..."

"Where did you learn that?" Su Wen narrowed his eyes, trying to stall for time.

"Never mind that, just tell me if you want to eat or not!" Ma Xiaotao turned her head away, looking slightly guilty.

"Taste it."

Su Wen said calmly, his hand hidden under the table clenched tightly, and with his other hand he picked up a spoon and, under Ma Xiaotao's expectant gaze, scooped up a "fresh and tender" green bean. It seemed that this was the only edible thing on the table. Its full name was Earth Crystal Green Bean, a kind of plant-type soul beast, which was quite popular in a certain eastern province of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

"Gah bang ga bang~"

As Su Wen chewed and swallowed expressionlessly, Ma Xiaotao's heart jumped into her throat.

"Is it good?" she asked cautiously.

“Well done.” Su Wen nodded.

"That's good..." Ma Xiaotao smiled and prepared to turn around and go to the kitchen to serve Su Wen a large bowl.

"Don't make it next time." Su Wen stirred the black, mushy food in the bowl, looking utterly hopeless.

Ma Xiaotao: "???"

"..."

"Then eat more!"

Ma Xiaotao sat at the table, resting her chin on her hand, blinking her eyes so much that her eyelashes almost touched Su Wen's face.

"Hey, Xiao Wen, there's news about the thing you asked me to inquire about." Yan Shaozhe walked in briskly.

"Jiang Nannan is indeed..."

He glanced at the tonic soup on the table and exclaimed in surprise, "Is this for feeding soul beasts?" He then looked at Ma Xiaotao with a surprised expression, "I didn't expect you to be so reliable..." He moved closer, dipped his chopsticks into the soup, and sniffed it, but suddenly frowned and said, "It's better not to serve it to the soul beasts. This pot of mixed ingredients is too poisonous. Xiao Jin and the others are only thousand-year-old soul beasts. Their physiques are not strong enough. They may not be able to withstand this pot of soup."

Su Wen: "..."

Ma Xiaotao: "..."

Su Wen stared intently at Ma Xiaotao, a sense of powerlessness washing over him as he said, "Look me in the eyes!"

Feeling guilty, Ma Xiaotao quickly grabbed the basin and left, saying, "I'll go clean up the kitchen. You guys chat~"

"Have you eaten?" Yan Shaozhe secretly leaned closer.

"I ate a green bean," Su Wen said expressionlessly.

"Then it shouldn't kill you... no, it's not a big deal." Yan Shaozhe smiled slyly.

Su Wen: "..."

"You said you had news about Jiang Nannan?"

“That’s right. I recently asked Du Weiren to inquire about it. The child’s father died early, and she lives with her birth mother. Now her birth mother is critically ill, and she has taken leave in the last few months to return to the Heavenly Soul Empire to help her mother with her medical treatment.”

Su Wen saw a flash of anger in Yan Shaozhe's eyes.

It's highly likely that a teacher from Shrek Academy kept this a secret. Well, it's not exactly a secret, but rather that they simply didn't take it seriously, let alone report it to Du Weiren or him.

“Zhou Yi?” Su Wen raised an eyebrow.

"Huh? How do you know her?" Yan Shaozhe asked, looking surprised.

Su Wen's lips twitched.

It really is this person...

In the original work, he was already notorious.

“It’s not her, it’s another second-grade class teacher, Yang He.” But then Yan Shaozhe shook his head. “Although Zhou Yi’s reputation isn’t great, she still cares a lot about outstanding students, after all, that’s her performance evaluation indicator.” Yan Shaozhe shook his head and glanced at Su Wen with a playful look.

“Yanghe? Never heard of him.” Su Wen shrugged.

"I didn't know until I investigated. This beast has amassed over ten million gold soul coins by collecting student funds." Yan Shaozhe said coldly and angrily.

"The students at Shrek Academy are really rich..." Su Wen clicked his tongue in amazement.

However, he was aware of this as well.

If Yang He hadn't been so extremely greedy, using his position as a teacher to amassed wealth from students while suppressing Jiang Nannan's letter of plea to the academy, leaving Yan Shaozhe, Du Weilun, and others completely unaware, Dean Yan probably wouldn't have been so furious.

Students are the foundation of a school. If you're digging up the roots, do you still expect to survive in the Foreign Languages ​​Department?
I estimate that I'll be fired in a few days, or... disappear.

"There are still experts..."

Su Wen could only sigh like this.

Yan Shaozhe also felt a little embarrassed.

After all, the Martial Soul System was under his full management, and now this kind of mistake has occurred... especially in front of Su Wen.

“Your management of the academy is a matter for the future. The most important thing right now is to prevent Jiang Nannan from going astray,” Su Wen reminded her.

"A helpless girl was forced to go down the wrong path, and that's all thanks to your Martial Soul Department."

"You kid..."

Yan Shaozhe glared at Su Wen, feeling a bit of a toothache.

"Fine, then let's go to the Xuanming Sect."

Clearly, as a seasoned cunning individual, considering the overall situation, he immediately saw through the Xuanming Sect's scheme...
