"I think there was something off about that referee."
In room 313 of the freshmen dormitory, An Wen sat on the floor without the slightest concern for her image, her back against Huo Yuqing's bed. She held a lunchbox in one hand and waved her chopsticks wildly through the air with the other, looking like a giant crab that had crawled ashore.
The three of them were currently huddled in Wang Rui and Huo Yuqing's dorm room, eating while chatting. Before long, the topic naturally shifted to reviewing the spirit battle they had just fought.
To save space, Shrek Academy's overcrowded freshman cafeteria did not even have tables or chairs. Everyone either had to finish eating while standing or take their food back with them. It was absurd.
Wang Rui had lavishly ordered the cafeteria's most expensive dishes. These dishes were priced in Gold Soul Coins and contained medicinal ingredients beneficial to the body.
As Huo Yuqing ate, she analyzed what had been added to the food and calculated the price, shooting Wang Rui resentful looks from time to time.
However, none of these dishes used soul beast meat as an ingredient. Of course, the freshman cafeteria alone could not reveal much. Whether Shrek slaughtered low-level soul beasts on a large scale for food would depend on the meals served to Core Disciples and inner courtyard students.
Thinking of the meals at Shrek Academy that had been described several times in the original story...
Wang Rui felt slightly displeased.
Soul beasts in the forest could eat whoever they wanted; no matter what, that was part of the forest's ecological cycle. But if humans harvested soul beast meat on a massive scale for food, that was another matter entirely—it was an even greater drain than low-level soul masters hunting soul rings.
