Gu Yue's Appetite and the Search for the Child of the Plane

As for explaining the changes in her appearance, Dugu Yan was already quite adept at it; it was simply the effect of improved aptitude after consuming rare and precious herbs, which led to the transformation of her Martial Soul.

Soon, Yu Tianheng, Xie Fei, and Ye Lingling naturally accepted the fact that Dugu Yan's appearance was becoming more and more stunning.

During their casual conversation, Tang Shan suddenly felt a gentle tug on his sleeve. Looking down, he saw Gu Yue demurely wiping her mouth, then looking up at him. "This is my first time at school, I don't know where the Cafeteria is?"

Tang Shan: It really is you, foodie Long!

"Alright, it's getting late, let's go have lunch first," Tang Shan interrupted their conversation and suggested.

Yu Tianheng was taken aback—this was far too early; it was still some time before noon.

"Okay, okay, I'm a little hungry too." Xie Fei rubbed his round belly and readily agreed.

Since Xie Fei had said so, Yu Tianheng swallowed back the doubts that were on the tip of his tongue.

"By the way, what good food is there in the Cafeteria?" Gu Yue immediately leaned closer to Tang Shan, her head almost touching his ear, and asked in a low voice, her bright eyes full of undisguised anticipation.

Dugu Yan, who had just finished chatting with Ye Lingling, turned around and stumbled upon this scene: Gu Yue was leaning against Tang Shan, whispering in his ear, the two so close they were almost touching. Dugu Yan's anger flared up instantly. She immediately strode forward, pulled Gu Yue away from Tang Shan, and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"

Gu Yue looked completely innocent. She had only asked about food, so why did this person suddenly grab her? It was utterly baffling.

"I didn't do anything wrong." Her answer was matter-of-fact and confident. After all, it was just food from the same Cafeteria; surely she hadn't violated any taboos in the human world?

Seeing Gu Yue staring at her with wide, clear eyes and a blank, innocent expression, Dugu Yan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her surging anger. She gritted her teeth inwardly: What a clever tactic! She's already clung to Tang Shan, yet she can still act like such a naive and innocent Xiao Bai. She's definitely a formidable enemy after Tang Shan!

"It's alright, Gu Yue. You're a freshman, so feel free to ask me anything you don't understand." Dugu Yan forced a smile, but her eyes held a cold glint—as long as she could bring Gu Yue to her side and reduce her chances of contact with Tang Shan, she'd see how she could still pester him!

Gu Yue, completely oblivious to her thoughts, nodded immediately upon hearing this and blurted out, "What good food is there in the Cafeteria?"

This question completely baffled Dugu Yan. In her view, going to the Cafeteria was all about getting the boost from Soul Beast for cultivation; who cared about the taste?

Seeing that Dugu Yan was stammering and unable to answer, Gu Yue was too lazy to wait any longer. With a flash of silver light, she instantly returned to Tang Shan's side and continued to ask about the menu of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Cafeteria.

Tang Shan didn't know why Dugu Yan suddenly pulled Gu Yue away, and seeing that the two had talked peacefully just now, he didn't ask any further questions.

After all, as long as he doesn't do anything outrageous, Gu Yue is just Gu Yue, and most of the time he won't reveal the true form of the Silver Dragon King.

The silver light settled, and a familiar scent enveloped him once more. Tang Shan met Gu Yue's eyes, which were like black pearls, and heard her clear voice...

The crisp voice continued, "Where were we? Are the prices different at each window?"

Yu Tianheng finally understood why Gu Yue was so powerful when they fought on the stage earlier—it turned out it was because she could eat so much!

On the Cafeteria tables in the cafeteria, the stacks of plates formed two small mountains, creating a particularly eye-catching spectacle in the hall.

The academy members had anticipated Tang Shan's large appetite, given that such formidable strength would inevitably require a significant amount of energy expenditure.

However, the sheer amount of food that this newcomer, Gu Yue, could eat still opened everyone's eyes.

Today, Tang Shan and his friends didn't go to the school's special canteen. Instead, they ordered food in the Cafeteria hall. As a result, Gu Yue's amazing appetite was on full display in front of everyone.

This time, Gu Yue was not Simulation cultivation, but truly switching to a new cultivation path. In addition, the Silver Dragon King's origin level was too heaven-defying, so in the early stages of cultivation, he could only consume a massive amount of resources.

Improving one's Soul Power is relatively easy, as one can draw upon the primordial Vital Essence of heaven and earth from anywhere. However, rebuilding the Silver Dragon King's powerful physique is not so simple—it requires a large amount of Qi and Blood and qi to nourish and replenish it, gradually reshaping the original body.

Although the Silver Dragon King is in charge of the elements, his physique is by no means weak. He is only slightly inferior to the Golden Dragon King, whose physique is the strongest, and the Mountain Dragon King, who has transformed into the continent.

But she was ultimately a manifestation of half of the Dragon God's essence, and in terms of physique, she was undoubtedly superior to all the other Dragon Kings.

It is precisely because of this initial need for Qi and Blood that she needs to eat a lot. Once her cultivation level improves and she is able to refine some of the original Silver Dragon King's essence, she will no longer need to eat so much.

Tang Shan had a rough idea of this, but Yu Tianheng, Xie Fei, and Dugu Yan couldn't understand it at all.

"Gu Yue, how can you eat so much?" Dugu Yan, who regarded Gu Yue as a potential "love rival," stared in disbelief at the small mountain of plates piled on the table and asked.

"My Martial Soul is quite special; eating more food can bring many benefits to my body," Gu Yue replied casually, but her hands didn't stop moving at all. She quickly replaced the empty plate with a new one and ate with great relish.

It must be said that the benefits at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy are truly excellent. The Cafeteria offers a wide variety of dishes, most of which are special ingredients beneficial to cultivation. The chefs are mostly food-type Soul Master with superb skills. Every dish not only maximizes the effects of the ingredients but also tastes absolutely delicious, with perfect color, aroma, and flavor.

This delighted Gu Yue, who was filled with curiosity about human food. She felt incredibly satisfied and content. As for Bi Ji's repeated warnings before she left, "Don't eat too much, a normal human's appetite is far less than Tang Shan's," she had long forgotten about them.

In her view, her Martial Soul was special, so it was perfectly reasonable for her to eat more; according to Tang Shan's standards, it was nothing out of the ordinary.

About fifteen minutes later, seeing Tang Shan put down his chopsticks, Gu Yue quickly devoured the remaining food in front of her.

Tang Shan looked at the empty plate in front of the girl beside him and asked, "Are you full?"

Gu Yue nodded, still maintaining her reserved demeanor.

Sitting opposite them, watching the two devour their food in a flash, Yu Tianheng and his companions were dumbfounded, their minds filled with questions.

"Alright, let's go." Tang Shan waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

Gu Yue was the quickest to react, immediately following behind Tang Shan and never leaving his side. Dugu Yan was so angry at the sight that Dugu Yan gritted her teeth. However, she was also a little shy and couldn't bring herself to be as close to Tang Shan as Gu Yue was, so she could only follow on Tang Shan's right side unwillingly, staring intently at Gu Yue's back.

"Yu----" Xie Fei was about to call Yu Tianheng to leave together when he turned around and saw that Yu Tianheng had already taken Ye Lingling's hand and was slowly walking away. His face instantly fell: No way? You're all in pairs, leaving me to walk alone, that's so unfair!

As they walked out of the Cafeteria along the campus path, Gu Yue suddenly spoke up, asking Tang Shan beside her, "Tang Shan, did you encounter any strange people in the academy?"

After eating and drinking his fill, the great Silver Dragon King finally remembered the real reason he had come to the human world: firstly, to use the unique transformation rules of the Douluo Continent to cultivate again and recover from his past injuries; secondly, to find and win over the Child of the Plane.

The Auspicious Beast had already informed her that the Child of the Plane had been born. Based on her observations of many people whose destinies had been altered, this Child of the Plane was most likely in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Tang Shan's fate has been clearly altered, yet he doesn't possess the aura of Child of the Plane. Therefore, there is only one answer: the Child of the Plane must be right beside him.

"A strange person?" Tang Shan was taken aback by the question and didn't react for a moment. "What kind of person is considered strange?"

Hearing Tang Shan's questioning tone, Gu Yue suddenly realized that she had been too vague.

"It's like that—" Gu Yue pondered for a moment, recalling the experiences of several Child of the Plane different planes she had seen in the Dragon God's inheritance. She casually gave examples, even making special adjustments for the Douluo Continent, "For example, someone who was jilted but actually has extremely strong Martial Soul talent; or someone who initially had a useless Martial Soul but later inexplicably rose to prominence; and then there are those Soul Masters who External Soul Bone like they're wholesale, buying several at a time."

What Gu Yue said was originally an example from another dimension, but when it fell into Tang Shan's ears, every word pierced his heart.

He didn't know that Gu Yue was just giving an example casually. He felt that every word she said seemed to be pointing out his flaws from afar. Except for the fact that he was jilted, everything else matched up perfectly!

Trash Martial Soul rising to prominence? Wasn't his Body Martial Soul initially considered Trash Martial Soul by others? It was only through hard work and fortuitous encounters that he gradually rose to prominence.

Wholesale External Soul Bone? He currently possesses three External Soul Bone within his body, each of exceptional quality: the Titan Left Palm Bone, the Golden Behemoth Right Palm Bone, and the Amethyst Power External Soul Bone. Any one of them would be enough to shake the entire Soul Master World.

Could it be that Gu Yue is looking for me?

Tang Shan's heart skipped a beat, and he felt inexplicably panicked: What did she want with me? I hadn't done anything out of the ordinary. Could it be that she had foreseen something?

Upon closer examination, Gu Yue was already a being at the level of a deity. Even though the existence of the Divine Realm prevented her from freely using her abilities, some of her divine instincts must still remain. Could it be that she glimpsed some future, or perhaps the Emperor Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest sensed something?

It was just a simple question, but it set Tang Shan's mind racing with all sorts of thoughts.

Even though Gu Yue looks like just a gluttonous little girl at this moment, it cannot be denied that she is a being of divine level.

In the original Douluo novel, the abilities of the gods are not described in great detail, but Tang Shan has a feeling that the gods must possess a certain ability to foresee the future. Otherwise, how could the future Buddha's grand plan of ten thousand years have been realized so smoothly step by step?
