Douluo Continent: The Incarnation of a Divine Beast, Sister Huo Yutong!

Chapter 129 Canteen
Shrek Academy, cafeteria.

After finishing his morning classes, Tang San, who was starving, couldn't wait to go to the cafeteria.

As soon as he entered the door, his brows furrowed.

Inside the cafeteria, students were seen in small groups, each carrying a plate and eating. There wasn't a single table or chair in the entire cafeteria.

What's going on? Is Shrek Academy so poor that it can't even afford desks and chairs?
Tang San frowned and casually pulled aside the staff member next to him to ask:

"Hello, are there no tables and chairs in the cafeteria?"

The staff member who was being pulled aside seemed to have experienced this many times before and was quite used to it, saying quite naturally:

"This is a special requirement from the academy. They said that without desks and chairs, students can eat faster and spend more time cultivating..."

Upon hearing this, Tang San's tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed.

That's right, that's more like it!
It seems that the leaders of Shrek Academy in later generations maintained the teaching model of the first headmaster, Flander, abandoning all entertainment facilities and allowing students to devote all their energy to improving their strength.

Excellent! It is precisely because of this spirit that Shrek Academy has become the holy land of soul masters today!
Tang San was in a great mood. He went to the stall and ordered a lot of dishes. Then he leaned against the wall and began to wolf down his food.

Dai Huabin, who had been following Tang San and observing his actions, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw this scene.

The lower class is the lower class. They make such a fuss over a meal. Anyone who doesn't know better would think they've never eaten in eight lifetimes!
As Dai Huabin was thinking this, he didn't expect that Tang San, who was enjoying his meal, would suddenly turn around and look at him.

Dai Huabin trembled, his heart filled with panic, but he still pretended to be calm, just like an ordinary student who came to the cafeteria to eat, and ordered a few dishes very naturally.

Seeing Dai Huabin's actions, Tang San then looked away.

Just now, he suddenly sensed a hostile force, and after searching, he discovered that it was Dai Huabin, whom he believed to be a descendant of Dai Mubai.

Recalling his first encounter with Dai Mubai ten thousand years ago, Tang San smiled knowingly, attributing Dai Huabin's hostility to childish sulking.

I suppose it's because I beat him last time that this kid is a bit unconvinced?
Tang San found it inexplicably funny as he thought about it.

Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that Dai Huabin's feelings towards him were not simply hostile.

Dai Huabin now hates Tang San to the core, and his hatred even surpasses that for Huo Yuhao.

There's no way around it; anyone who gets beaten up like a dog in front of a girl they like, causing her to leave, will completely turn to the dark side.

Dai Huabin's situation is even more serious because Zhu Lu is a crucial part of his plan.

Without Zhu Lu, how could he compete with his elder brother for the right to inherit the White Tiger Duke's mansion?

For the proud Dai Huabin, being treated like this was worse than being killed.

What upset Dai Huabin even more was that Tang San was assigned to the same class as him, which meant that Tang San took away the class monitor position that he had been sure to win.

Embarrassed in front of girls, having the class monitor position snatched away, and feeling resentful of being overtaken by an ordinary person...

In a fit of rage, Dai Huabin made a bold decision—he was going to kill Tang San!
Indeed, in his rage, Dai Huabin completely disregarded the uproar a newcomer's death would cause in Shrek City, and even less considered the consequences of his actions.

Just like in the original story, after being stepped on by Huo Yuhao, Dai Huabin disregarded Huo Yuhao's identity and attempted to assassinate him; he lost his temper.

The Soul Masters of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion were waiting outside Shrek Academy, ready to ambush and kill Tang San as soon as he went out.

To ensure the plan went perfectly, Dai Huabin personally kept watch.

A sinister smile appeared on Dai Huabin's face as he watched Tang San wolf down his food.

Eat up, eat up, this is your last meal anyway!

Tang San ate very quickly; he finished a two-person portion of food in just over ten minutes.

After setting his plate down, Tang San left the cafeteria.

Seeing Tang San leave, Dai Huabin immediately stopped what he was doing and prepared to follow him.

Unfortunately, just as he put the plate down, a greasy hand patted his shoulder: "Hey kid, you still have so much food left to eat..."

Looking at the white shirt stained with oil, Dai Huabin felt a sense of disgust.

His expression changed slightly, and he shouted loudly:

"I paid for this, so I can eat as much as I want!"

As he spoke, Dai Huabin tried to push the middle-aged man aside and follow Tang San.

Unfortunately, those greasy, large hands seemed to be welded to his shoulders, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move them an inch.

The middle-aged man sized up Dai Huabin, his gaze lingering for a moment on his expensive clothes, before stroking his chin and smiling as he said:

"I've seen plenty of kids like you..."

"However, this isn't your family home, so you'd better keep your spoiled attitude to yourself!"

"This is the cafeteria, so we must follow the cafeteria rules!"

"Take only what you can eat, and don't leave until you finish your food. Waste is strictly prohibited!"

The middle-aged man had a serious expression on his face.

Upon hearing his voice, the other staff members in the cafeteria glanced over, then went back to their own tasks.

They completely agreed with the middle-aged man's approach, since every dish in the cafeteria contained various soul beasts, including some that were thousands of years old.

Any one of these dishes could sell for thousands or even tens of thousands of gold soul coins outside, but here they are only at cost price, and some even require the academy to subsidize them.

If everyone did what Dai Huabin did and wasted a lot of food, would the cafeteria still be able to stay open?
Both emotionally and rationally, they all believed that the middle-aged man was not wrong!

Dai Huabin looked at the middle-aged man with a serious face blocking his way, and his expression grew increasingly gloomy.

He gave the middle-aged man a deep look, then picked up the food on the plate without saying a word and ate it all in a few bites.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man slowly released his hand from his shoulder.

Dai Huabin ran out of the cafeteria as fast as he could, looking around anxiously.

Fortunately, Lady Luck was on his side, and Tang San was not far away from him.

Moreover, judging from the direction Tang San was walking, it seemed he was about to leave the academy.

It’s like God is helping me!

Dai Huabin's previously irritable and gloomy mood improved slightly.

He quickly followed, simultaneously activating his soul-guided device to send a signal to his subordinates outside the academy.

Upon receiving the response, a hint of surprise flashed across Dai Huabin's face.

Tang Yin, what's the use of having such high talent?

No matter how talented someone is, can they defeat a Soul Saint?

Heh, this is what happens when you offend me!

Dai Huabin let out a long breath, as if he could already see Tang San lying dead on the spot.

However, he suddenly had a change of heart and had another idea.

No, I have to make him kneel before me and beg for my life before I kill him!
Thinking of this, Dai Huabin quickened his pace and followed Tang San out of the courtyard.
