Chapter 29 Filial Piety Gu
The cafeteria for the intermediate grade is located in a small three-story building next to the main teaching building. The three floors serve meals for all six grades in the intermediate grade. First and second graders eat on the first floor. The food in the cafeteria is divided into three categories—A, B, and C—based on the quality of the ingredients.
Meal C is completely free, Meal B is partially paid, and Meal A is fully paid.
Of course, correspondingly, the ingredients for meal A are the best, followed by meal B, while meal C is just ordinary food.
The sign below Meal C says "steamed buns".
Meal A consisted of dishes mixed with some ten-year-old spirit items, which looked very high-class. The prices on the notice board made poor people feel ashamed.
Considering that Gu Yuena was a big eater and that he himself was still growing, Huo Yuhao took enough for ten people.
The two sat facing each other at the dining table and began to talk.
Which academy cafeteria in this era doesn't have tables and chairs? Without tables and chairs, students' cultivation cannot be improved. Lingbing Douluo was extremely disgusted by the practices of Shrek Academy and vigorously tried to stop this trend from spreading.
"Oh, although it's not very nutritious, it tastes pretty good."
After taking a bite, Gu Yuena commented. The comparison, of course, was with the food at the Spirit Pagoda.
"After all, it's a cafeteria for students."
Huo Yuhao said the same thing and took a bite of the synthetic meat.
Yes, synthetic meat.
Why is there synthetic meat in Douluo Continent? It's because soul beasts and humans coexist peacefully. In a peaceful and culturally rich era, how could there be fighting and killing? But how could both sides not eat meat? How could they grow without eating meat!
So the Federation took the lead in developing synthetic meat. In the initial version, synthetic meat didn't taste good; it was created solely for nutritional purposes. After years of updates and improvements, the taste wasn't great, but the nutritional value had decreased.
Because the cost has increased.
Only powerful forces like the Spirit Pagoda have natural beast meat to eat—the annual Soul Spirit Contracts always accumulate some soul beast corpses.
Don't assume that all spirits are now kept in spirit orbs waiting for spirit masters to choose them and sign contracts. There's no way there's enough money for maintenance or enough spirits to go around.
Many senior students, like those in the Soul Beast Department of Donghai Academy, give up on their studies, or suffer serious injuries or high medical costs, and feel that it's better to die a good death than to live a miserable life, so they might as well sell themselves for a good price.
Following a good Soul Master allows you to cultivate and evolve together.
Thanks to the Soul Contract, even a 10-year-old Soul Spirit can share bonuses after forming a contract with its host, with their cultivation speed mutually increasing and complementing each other. They can also share intelligence comparable to that of a 10,000-year-old Soul Beast, meaning they possess human-level intelligence.
They can also communicate and cooperate with the host to enhance combat power.
"Gu Yue, over there."
Suddenly, a young man appeared in their line of sight, Huo Yuhao transmitted his voice. Gu Yuena's eyes flashed upon hearing this, but she didn't speak. She also transmitted her voice, "It's Tang Wulin."
"You've read Qiu'er's book, so you should know that he has Tang San's divine consciousness within him. Don't act rashly."
Huo Yuhao reminded Gu Yuena that he was afraid she might act impulsively and attack Tang Wulin for the sake of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, and then be manipulated as a puppet, or even brainwashed into becoming someone she couldn't afford to offend.
In the original story, the great sea god actually did this.
"Of course I know. What do you take me for? I am the half-body representing the wisdom of the Dragon God."
Gu Yuena rolled her eyes at him, exuding charm.
The intelligent half... Huo Yuhao's lips twitched. The intelligence that committed suicide to return to heaven? He was now somewhat worried.
"No matter what, you're a very strange kid. We can't just attack him like that. Who knows where Tang Hao is hiding right now? Tang San's three opportunities to strike were also extremely dangerous."
"So we're just going to ignore him? I don't believe Tang San's consciousness will allow him to stay in the Spirit Pagoda so obediently." Gu Yuena frowned her beautiful brows and asked unwillingly.
The feeling of knowing that someone has ill intentions and is lurking in your home doing bad things, but being unable to do anything about it, is truly awful.
Because of his identity, he can do these things with a clear conscience. If I were to make a move against him, I would be going too far.
"We can stall Tang Wulin here at the Spirit Pagoda in the East Sea. I think Tang San will definitely not let him join the Sun Moon Royal Academy or the Spirit Pagoda, which will definitely affect his chances of going to Shrek Academy. That will make things easier."
Huo Yuhao shook his head. Tang San could tolerate Tang Wulin joining the Spirit Pagoda, but he would never allow him to join the Sun Moon Royal Academy and the Spirit Pagoda, which were opposed to Shrek Academy.
It's all because Tang San's academic spirit is at its peak; it's the underlying code of the Tang family at Shrek Academy. They're willing to die for the glory of Shrek Academy.
Moreover, there is something there that it must obtain to strengthen its connection with its original body!
"You mean...?"
"right."
Gu Yuena didn't say anything more. Since Huo Yuhao had made his decision, she supported him. The Spirit Pagoda was created by Huo Yuhao, and he didn't want Tang Wulin involved there; no one could stop him.
For Huo Yuhao, the mere existence of Tang Wulin in the Spirit Pagoda was enough to disgust him. What, you might ask, why is Huo Yuhao so petty, arguing with a child? First, Tang Wulin isn't an ordinary child; he's a member of the Tang clan. Second, Huo Yuhao was simply taking precautions.
There might be a group of people who would want to cultivate Tang Wulin, to make him form the so-called "correct" values, to turn against Tang San, and to achieve the so-called "father's departure and son's filial piety".
Huo Yuhao exclaimed: What a joke!
The three most terrifying wills in Douluo Continent are: honor, love, and filial piety.
Leaving aside the first two, filial piety is something many people overlook, yet it's ubiquitous in the Douluo Continent. Qian Renxue, despite being treated so badly by Bibi Dong, still showed filial piety, though it was all talk. Tang San, with a disastrous start, supported himself; his filial piety moved heaven and earth, and Tang Hao was utterly defeated.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Dai Hao will ascend to the God Realm with great joy after kneeling and acknowledging Tang San as his father, a testament to his filial piety that moves heaven and earth. Tang Wulin, upon learning that Tang San is his father, immediately bows in reverence, even the grief of losing his adoptive parents somewhat lessened.
You want me, Huo Yuhao, to believe in Tang Wulin? To believe in Tang San's "Dual-Hand Technique"? No matter how much positive knowledge I instill, Tang San can just modify his soul, right? Probably not even that. Just tell him he's his biological father, and filial piety will control his brain. Who would understand?
Therefore, he couldn't nurture Tang Wulin. This whole thing would have been like raising a tiger only to have it become a threat.
Let's just send them to Shrek Academy to digest internally, and then let them get blown up. They're consuming the resources of the Spirit Pagoda, and there's a 99% chance they'll come back and blew it all away. The remaining 10% is that I'll still be leading my own Spirit Pagoda. How can Huo Yuhao gamble on that Tang Wulin will be kind-hearted?
Furthermore, does he lack a combat power like Tang Wulin? What was he thinking, training Tang Wulin to make him a filial son and father separated? Is it interesting? What, you're saying you want to eliminate Tang San's consciousness first?
Huo Yuhao: If I could destroy Tang San's consciousness, I wouldn't need you, Tang Wulin. Why keep you around as a mascot? Claiming our family is the legitimate line of the Sea God? The Emperor and the Father?
