The second floor of Notting Academy's cafeteria was more expensive. Generally speaking, those who ate here were the children of nobles. Ordinary self-funded students and working students couldn't afford the food on the second floor.
The biggest difference between the first floor and the second floor was that the food on the first floor was ordinary while the food on the second floor came from soulbeasts. Even though they were only low-level soulbeasts, soulbeasts were still soulbeasts. The nutritional value of soulbeasts was far greater than that of ordinary livestock.
Because of this, the food on the second floor was more expensive.
Xiao Wu didn't know what it meant to be polite. Under Lu Yuan's silent approval, she ordered a few dishes that were more special. Lu Yuan, on the other hand, ordered a few of his favorite dishes.
The tendons of the Plate Rhinoceros came from the ten-year soul beast Plate Rhinoceros. After being stewed with medicinal ingredients, they were golden yellow in color. They were soft and glutinous, but didn't lose their elasticity. They tasted delicious and melted in the mouth. Furthermore, they were very good for strengthening one's bones.
The roasted wings of the Rainbow Void Chicken were made from the wings of the ten-year soul beast Rainbow Void Chicken. After being processed by the chef, they were golden and translucent. The meat of the wings was still covered in golden fat. It could be said that they were exceptionally delicious.
Stir-fried Green Vine Core was made from the ten-year soul beast Green Vine. The skin of the Green Vine was peeled off, and the tender core was blanched in boiling water to remove the bitterness. High quality yellow pepper was added, and the meat was stir-fried. It was sweet and crispy. It was truly a delicacy.
The Bamboo Bamboo Duck Soup was made from the ten-year soul beast Green Bamboo. The bamboo shoots were paired with the ten-year soul beast White Jade Duck. They were stewed over a small fire for a full six hours before the soup was finished. The taste of the soup was so delicious that it made people swallow their tongues.
These dishes were considered the most expensive even on the second floor. Normally, even Lu Yuan would only order one or two dishes. Today, he had spent a lot of money.
The four dishes, including Xiao Wu's order, filled the entire table.
Xiao Wu didn't have a big appetite, but she had a special liking for stir-fried green vine cores. Lu Yuan and Tang San, on the other hand, didn't refuse anything that came their way. With a sweep of the table, they cleaned it all up.
With a round belly, Lu Yuan paid the bill. He ate a total of fifteen gold soul coins for lunch. This amount of money was enough for an ordinary family to use for three to four years.
It had to be said that everything related to soul masters on the Douluo Continent was relatively expensive.
Tang San was very satisfied with his meal. Ever since he was reborn, this was the most enjoyable meal he had eaten. Xiao Wu was the same. Her belly was round and the corners of her mouth were glistening with oil.
"Ugh!" Xiao Wu burped. It was obvious that she was enjoying her lunch. She pretended to pat Lu Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Not bad, Sister Xiao Wu will protect you in the future in Notting Academy!"
Lu Yuan laughed involuntarily. Who in Notting Academy would dare to provoke him?
Didn't you see all the nobles on the second floor staying far away from him?
Xiao Wu's observation skills were naturally not as sharp as Tang San's. She had taken in all the fear the aristocrats had towards Lu Yuan. She immediately asked, "I feel that they are all very afraid of you!"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "This group of noble children usually likes to cause trouble in school. After I taught them a few lessons, they became like this."
Tang San nodded. He had personally experienced such a thing on the day he entered the academy. Those nobles had made no secret of their contempt for the working students.
"Hmph, they all deserve a beating, especially that Xiao Chenyu!" Xiao Wu said angrily. She still remembered how Xiao Chenyu had bullied the working students. If not for Tang San holding her back, she would have rushed up to him and taught him a lesson.
"Heh, where there are people, there will be conflict. The conflict between nobles and commoners has been going on for a long time. The academy is also a small society. The conflict between the noble students and the working students isn't something new."
"Isn't the academy going to do something about it?" Tang San asked, puzzled.
Lu Yuan shook his head. "We can't. Even if we can control it for a while, it will revert back to normal after a while. The academy can't do anything about it!"
"But!" Lu Yuan glanced at Tang San. "If you working students can become stronger and teach those noble students a lesson, your days will be much better in the future."
Tang San lowered his head and muttered to himself. Since he was a working student, he would have to solve this problem sooner or later. Nothing was more intimidating than showing off his strength.
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. "Lu Yuan is right. Little San, we should teach Xiao Chenyu a lesson. Let him know that Big Sister Xiao Wu isn't someone to be trifled with."
Tang San nodded. "We'll discuss this when we get back!"
Hearing Tang San's words, Xiao Wu could only nod in agreement.
.....
There were no Martial Soul classes in the afternoon, so Lu Yuan had time to register.
Lu Yuan had already been to the Martial Soul Palace once, so he was familiar with the place.
Walking into the reception hall of the Martial Soul Palace, he found that Sisi, the female Soul Master who had awakened Lu Yuan last time, wasn't there. He had no choice but to ask someone.
"Excuse me, where do Soul Masters register?"
Seeing Lu Yuan's luxurious clothes and extraordinary temperament, the Martial Soul Palace member was very patient. "Go up to the second floor and turn left to the second room. You can register with Master Ma Xiuno!"
"Okay. Thank you!" Tang San thanked him and walked up the stairs.
He went up to the second floor and turned left. The door to the second room was ajar.
"This is it!" Lu Yuan muttered to himself as he looked at the ajar door.
He knocked on the door and an old voice called out, "Come in!"
When he opened the door, there were three people inside. One of them was an old man in his sixties or seventies, while the other two were a man and a woman in their twenties. Coincidentally, he had seen both of them before.
One was Sisi, the female Soul Master who had awakened his martial soul, and the other was Su Yuntao, a tool made of iron.
"It seems that Brother Tao and I are fated to meet each other. I've been to the Martial Soul Palace twice and I've run into him twice!" Lu Yuan laughed inwardly.
"Little friend, is there something you need?" Ma Xiuno asked.
"Oh, it's you, little friend!" Sisi immediately recognized Lu Yuan. After all, it was rare to see someone with innate full soul power and a powerful dragon-type martial soul. It was impossible for Sisi not to have a deep impression of him.
"Sisi, you know him?" Su Yuntao asked curiously.
Sisi said, "He's the genius who awakened me with a dragon-type martial soul and innate full soul power!"
"Oh!" Ma Xiuno's interest was piqued. "Little friend, have you thought it through? Do you want to join our Martial Soul Palace?"
Lu Yuan said, "I'm here to register at the Martial Soul Palace. Can I register first before we talk?"
"Of course. You got your first soul ring so soon?" Ma Xiuno asked curiously.
He took out a blue crystal and said, "You have innate full soul power. If I'm not mistaken, your soul power should be eleven …"
Blue light flashed and the crystal lit up. From the brightness of the crystal, Tang San could tell it was rank fourteen.
Ma Xiuno was shocked. "How can your soul power be rank fourteen? Child, can you let me see your soul ring?"
Lu Yuan was speechless.
