But Wang Sheng quickly snapped back to reality and sternly shouted at Mo Hui, "No, you have to fight me!"
He had a reason for fighting. If he didn't let this kid know how formidable he was, how could he unite the work-study students? Wouldn't they be bullied even more severely?
Saying this, he stepped forward and charged towards Mo Hui.
Seeing this, Mo Hui sighed. While backing away from his bed to avoid damaging his belongings, he summoned Bo Bo again.
"Bo Bo, deal with him!"
"Bo Bo~"
Hearing Mo Hui, Bo Bo quickly flew towards Wang Sheng.
"Where did this sparrow come from? Get lost!"
Wang Sheng was startled to see Bo Bo charging at him. A pale yellow light emanated from his body, and his tiger claws swiftly struck towards Bo Bo. He had clearly used the power of his martial soul.
However, birds are inherently fast, let alone Bo Bo.
Bo Bo easily dodged Wang Sheng's attack and lightly pecked him on the head.
"Ow! Get down!"
Wang Sheng cried out in pain and quickly reached up to his head.
However, Bo Bo wasn't that easy to hit. Bo Bo pecked Wang Sheng several times, but Wang Sheng didn't hit Bo Bo even once.
This surprised Mo Hui a little; it seemed Bo Bo's strength was even greater than he had imagined.
"Stop pecking, stop pecking! Mo Hui, I'm not being the boss anymore, I'll give it to you!"
A moment later, Wang Sheng, unable to bear Bo Bo's pecking any longer, reluctantly surrendered to Mo Hui.
"Bo Bo, come back!"
Seeing this, Mo Hui beckoned to Bo Bo and summoned him back.
"Bo Bo~"
Bo Bo gave Wang Sheng a provocative look, then flew back to Mo Hui's shoulder.
Seeing Bo Bo fly away, Wang Sheng rubbed his head, which was slightly scraped, and couldn't help but hiss in pain.
Mo Hui quietly watched Wang Sheng rubbing his head. If it weren't for the other party's soul power protecting him and Bo Bo knowing the proper limits, Bo Bo's pecking just now wouldn't have been as simple as a slight scrape.
After rubbing his head for a while and feeling a bit better, Wang Sheng came up to Mo Hui and excitedly said, "Boss, is that big sparrow your martial soul? It's so amazing, but why can a martial soul leave the body?"
"Bo Bo is a mutated martial soul, so he's a bit special."
As he said this, Bo Bo looked at Wang Sheng, his defeated subordinate, and proudly raised his head.
"Also, don't call me boss. If you really want to, you can call me dorm head."
After speaking, Mo Hui returned to his bed.
"Yes, dorm head!"
Mo Hui had just defeated him, so naturally, the other party was the boss now. Since he acknowledged the other party as the boss, he naturally had to obey.
Saying this, Wang Sheng immediately walked up to Mo Hui and said, "Dorm head, it's almost dinner time now. Are you going to eat?"
Hearing this, Mo Hui was slightly stunned. Although he knew he had been cultivating for quite some time, he hadn't expected it to be dinner time already.
"No wonder cultivators often say, 'There are no years in the mountains, a thousand years pass in an instant,'" Mo Hui sighed inwardly.
That feeling of constantly improving and becoming stronger was truly captivating, so much so that he forgot about time.
...
On the first floor of the cafeteria, Mo Hui couldn't help but frown as he looked at the food at the serving window.
Although the food was cheap, costing only a few copper coins per meal, it was clearly not very nutritious, especially lacking in meat. This was obviously not ideal for Mo Hui, who was currently growing.
Immediately after, Mo Hui turned his gaze to the second floor.
"Dorm head, you're not going to eat on the second floor, are you? The prices there are very expensive, we can't afford it."
Seeing that Mo Hui seemed to intend to eat on the second floor, Wang Sheng quickly reminded him.
Eating on the first floor cost only a few copper coins, at most no more than ten. But if you went to the second floor, it would cost at least several dozen copper coins.
Hearing this, Mo Hui patted Wang Sheng's shoulder and said, "It's alright, I still have some savings. Eating on the second floor is not a big problem."
After speaking, Mo Hui walked towards the second floor.
Behind him, Wang Sheng's mouth was open as if he wanted to say something else, but after thinking for a moment, he stopped.
After all, he had seen Mo Hui's situation. Although Mo Hui's bedding wasn't particularly expensive, it was clean and tidy, and his conditions were clearly much better than theirs.
The food on the second floor was clearly much more abundant than on the first. Mo Hui spent nearly twenty-something copper soul coins, ordered two braised duck legs and three meat buns, and began to eat.
After finishing one braised duck leg, a question suddenly flashed in Mo Hui's mind: Can Bo Bo eat?
He should be able to, right? After all, Luo Sanpao can eat white radishes!
Immediately, Mo Hui summoned Bo Bo, picked up the remaining braised duck leg, and brought it to Bo Bo's mouth.
"Bo Bo~"
When Bo Bo saw the braised duck leg offered to him, his eyes lit up. He immediately tore off a piece of meat from the duck leg with his mouth and swallowed it.
"Hmm? This is..."
After Bo Bo swallowed the duck leg meat, Mo Hui immediately felt that as Bo Bo digested it, the duck leg meat turned into a surge of energy that was absorbed by Bo Bo.
Because of the presence of this energy, the soul power Mo Hui consumed to summon Bo Bo was significantly reduced. Originally, Mo Hui felt he could only summon Bo Bo for half an hour, but now he felt he could last a few more minutes.
"Ptooey!"
However, while Mo Hui was pondering, Bo Bo spat the duck leg meat onto the dining table.
"Bo Bo, what's wrong?"
Bo Bo's behavior naturally caught Mo Hui's attention. However, when Mo Hui looked at the duck leg meat on the table, he found that the energy from the meat had already been absorbed by Bo Bo, and what Bo Bo spat out was just food residue.
So, when an external beast martial soul eats, it has to expel the impurities after absorbing the energy?
A hint of realization flashed in Mo Hui's eyes, but then doubt arose again.
Since food residue needs to be expelled, why hasn't he seen Luo Sanpao expel any?
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Mo Hui's head, and he understood something.
That Luo Sanpao had already expelled the impurities, although the process was a bit disgusting.
"Bo Bo~"
After eating a few bites of the braised duck leg, Bo Bo's gaze fell on the meat bun in Mo Hui's other hand.
Seeing Bo Bo staring at the meat bun in his hand, Mo Hui chuckled softly and, with a hint of indulgence, brought the meat bun to Bo Bo's front, saying, "Bo Bo, eat."
"Bo Bo~"
Seeing this, Bo Bo immediately beamed with joy and quickly began to eat.
Seeing how much Bo Bo liked the meat buns, Mo Hui was also very happy.
But Mo Hui quickly noticed something wasn't right. Earlier, when Bo Bo ate the braised duck leg, he needed to expel food residue, but why was there no residue at all after he had eaten half of this bun? Was it all digested?
Could it be...
Suddenly, Mo Hui thought of a possibility, picked up a meat bun, and took a bite.
