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

Chapter 8 Hurricane: Brother, You Smell Good
"I'll just sneak away for a little while, just a short time, it should be fine, right..."

Xuanzi muttered to himself.

He waved his hand in front of Su Wen's eyes and called his name softly twice before he felt relieved.

He then furtively placed a fan nearby. This was an ancient soul tool that had been passed down from the Sea God Pavilion for thousands of years, carrying the aura of a Super Douluo. Even if he left, the fan would still simulate his aura.

It also triggers protection when encountering danger.

As long as you don't encounter a 100,000-year-old soul beast, you'll be more than safe.

"This is the edge of the core area of ​​Star Dou. There are countless soul beasts with a lifespan of 20,000 to 30,000 years, but there are only a few soul beasts with a lifespan of 100,000 years in the entire Star Dou Great Forest. Moreover, if we encounter danger, the fan defense will be triggered, and I will return in time."

Xuanzi nodded in satisfaction.

His form vanished.

……

"Ha~"

Su Wen slowly woke up.

But Xuanzi was nowhere to be seen. Instead, a long fan was left beside him, which startled him.

"not good!"

The hurricane returned to the Poké Ball.

It seems no one knows where Xuanzi went.

But he picked up the fan and examined it for a moment.

It's a defensive soul tool!

Su Wen's lips twitched. Clearly, while he was deep in meditation, Xuanzi had gone off to prepare rice wine and food.

Xuanzi's martial soul, the Gluttonous Divine Ox, requires a constant supply of food to ensure an abundant soul power, but this is the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest!
They just slipped away like that?
Su Wen's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

He had thoroughly experienced Xuanzi's unreliability.

"call……"

Su Wen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around.

Perhaps because of the fan, even after Xuanzi disappeared, few soul beasts dared to surround him.

He slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Not bad, Elder Xuan wasn't completely ruthless; at least he left some trump cards.

"Since things have come to this, let's eat first."

Su Wen sighed.

As the sun slowly set and evening approached, a bonfire was already lit at Shrek Academy in the distance below.

Su Wen moved with the agility of a monkey, leaping down from the ancient tree a thousand meters high, clinging to its thick roots. A smile played on his lips. As expected of the Douluo World, even a mere Soul Master could accomplish things that ordinary people in his previous life could not.

Of course, this may also be partly due to the numerical feedback of the hurricane.

"Hey? Xiao Wen, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Yi greeted him with surprise.

"Elder Xuan... I disappeared after I woke up. I was a little hungry and couldn't wait for him, so I came down to get something to eat." Su Wen rubbed his stomach.

Cultivation is also quite physically demanding.

These consumptions require a large amount of meat or food rich in energy (soul power) to replenish.

After meditating for a while, I'm actually a bit hungry.

"Hahaha, so that's how it is. Here, I just slaughtered a blood-red baboon, it weighed a full half ton, there's plenty of meat, eat up..."

Zhang Yi opened his mouth and chuckled awkwardly.

Clearly, as inner court disciples, they had somewhat anticipated Elder Xuan's unreliable behavior. However, perhaps due to their confidence as elites of Shrek Academy's inner court, they didn't pay much attention to it and instead invited Su Wen to come and eat meat.

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

Upon seeing Su Wen, Ma Xiaotao was the most excited. She handed the roasted meat that was originally meant for her to Su Wen, saying, "Don't worry, we can only eat such a big piece of baboon meat for two days. The rest will be left for other soul beasts."

“But I’m grilling meat, you know…” Zhang Yi complained.

Ma Xiaotao tilted her head, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she stared at Su Wen, a silly grin on her face, ignoring him.

"Well……"

Su Wen swallowed a piece of baboon meat, his throat bobbing. He always felt that this silly girl treated him like a younger brother.

Because she picked him up?
It was quite heartwarming, though...

Seemingly drawn by the aroma of meat, Hurricane burst out of its Poké Ball and stared longingly at Su Wen.

"Here." Zhang Yi naturally knew that this was Su Wen's "detached martial soul." He cut a piece of raw flesh from the dead baboon, stuck it in a knife, and handed it to Hurricane.

Seeing Su Wen nod, Hurricane couldn't wait to take off the piece of meat and tear it into large bites.

"Smells good?" Su Wen smiled, but suddenly paused. "Hey, Hurricane, aren't you a baboon too?"

"Hooray~" (Brother, this is delicious!)

Su Wen: "..."

"Hehe, different baboon groups will fight and eat each other. To be honest, ordinary baboon groups like the wind baboon are most likely to be food for other baboons," Zhang Yi explained with a chuckle as he sat cross-legged to the side.

"I see."

Su Wen swallowed a mouthful of cooked meat.

Wiped his mouth.

He then paused, his expression momentarily blank.

Nothing more, the panel indicated that the value had changed again.

【Wind Baboon】

[Level: Level 13]

Strength: 0.22 (+0.01)

Speed: 0.30 (+0.01)

Endurance: 0.22 (+0.01)

Defense: 0.15 (+0.01)

【…】

Can you level up by eating meat?

Su Wen was stunned for a moment.

Yup!

Not only can eating spirit fruits improve one's cultivation, but eating the flesh of strong individuals can also enhance one's cultivation! Many soul beasts can cultivate to the level of hundreds of thousands of years in just tens of thousands of years. Apart from those like Tianmeng who were incredibly lucky and fell into a treasure cave, most of the cultivation of other bear kings, demon kings, and others, besides their own exceptional talents, comes largely from their own kind, right?

True brother, you smell so good.

It's like inhaling Tianmeng, this giant power bank, which is not much different from eating meat; otherwise, Tianmeng wouldn't have been so resentful.

However, Hurricane soon lay down on the spot, supporting its round belly. It was full after eating just a small piece of meat. The flesh and blood of this high-level baboon did indeed contain a lot of energy, which it needed to digest slowly.

Unfortunately, a hurricane isn't a glutton...

Su Wen felt a little regretful. If he had a Taotie pet beast and kept feeding it, improving his strength would be as easy as drinking water.

"Sigh, should we raise a mystical old man?"

But let’s talk about it.

Looking at the panel values ​​that fluctuated several times in just one day, Su Wen couldn't help but smile. The main reason was that the pet's level and cultivation would also be transferred to the owner.

At this rate, he could increase his cultivation speed by at least one-third!

……

Around the campfire.

Everyone at Shrek Academy was quite relaxed.

Even though Su Wen brought news that Elder Xuan was not there, the smooth journey made them lower their guard and talk about their recent gains.

Even Zhang Lexuan sat on a rock, head down, deep in thought, the campfire casting flickering light on her face.

"Wait, something's not right..."

Su Wen was taken aback.

A red light suddenly flashed from the handle of the feather fan in his hand.

This high-level soul tool, which integrates defense, detection, and aura simulation and was passed down from the Sun Moon Empire for thousands of years, warned Su Wen that a powerful enemy had appeared in his vicinity!

This feeling of tension seemed to emanate from within the soul tool, stimulating Su Wen's nerves.

Su Wen's expression gradually turned grim.

The other Shrek Academy disciples around him still appeared peaceful and content, but only he knew that this high-level soul tool was highly unlikely to malfunction.

And what can make it turn red...

It's probably only possible with a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
