The canteen prepared for the Knights participating in the Regional Selection was, of course, different from the canteen for ordinary university students.
It was more like a restaurant, with tables for four people placed there. Once someone sat down, a maid would come over to take their orders.
Manny took the menu and was about to order when Fang Xingjian said in a domineering manner, "Give me two servings of each dish."
Sensing Manny's awkward gaze, Fang Xingjian said, "We're all Knights. There's no need to stand on ceremony."
That was right. Knights consumed a lot of energy to begin with, and the amount of food they required far surpassed that of ordinary people. For example, when Fang Xingjian was in Kirst Academy, he had ferocious beasts for his meals, and he had been able to eat five meals a day.
However, speaking of the food in Miracle World, Fang Xingjian had always felt that there was something strange about it. Other than a portion of heavenly and earthly treasures and ferocious beasts, many of the animals and plants in this world were very similar to those on Earth. For example, potatoes, vegetables, and even pineapples, black fungus, pigs, cows, sheep, and horses. These were almost the same as those on Earth.
Logically speaking, these should be two different worlds, and it should be impossible for them to be the same. This was something that Fang Xingjian had not been able to understand.
However, this was not something that Fang Xingjian was concerned about. The evolution of living things was something that scientists had to study. His attention was soon attracted by the feast in the Regional Academy.
He had performed four hundred streams of Ether Sword Ripples earlier, which had depleted a great deal of his physical strength. He had been hungry for a long time.
The first dish was a grilled ferocious pheasant. The chicken meat was fresh and tender, and it almost melted in one's mouth. The crispy skin on the surface also contained the taste of various spices, as well as the fragrance of the grilled meat. Fang Xingjian finished it in a few mouthfuls, and Manny also snatched two chicken thighs without showing any signs of weakness.
Moreover, it was not just delicious. As the ingredients came from the ferocious pheasant, it contained a powerful vital energy and blood. After a few mouthfuls, Fang Xingjian could feel waves of heat starting from his stomach and exploding toward his limbs.
Then there was a vegetable dish called the pineapple salad. It was made from steamed and mashed potatoes, then a sauce made from a mixture of twelve herbs was poured over it. Finally, the mashed potatoes were shaped into the shape of a pineapple. Not only did it look good, it also tasted refreshing. The sauce and mashed potatoes gave off the feeling of a cream soup, fragrant and rich.
The most nutritious dish was of course the soup made from the twelve herbs. Almost all of them were heavenly and earthly treasures that had various strengthening effects on the body. After eating, Fang Xingjian, Xingjian, felt that his reaction, flexibility, and physical strength all had slight improvements. Of Xingjian 'attributes. Fang Xingjian' bodies was, had, and Academy. X, Fang Academy, in, the Academy, in, and, in …
One delicious dish after another was served, but they were all finished off by Fang Xingjian, Manny, and Rota at an even faster speed. They were all first transition level 19 Knights, and no matter what dish was served, they would be able to swallow it in a few big mouthfuls. Then, with the agitation of their internal organs, most of the food would be digested. Their stomachs were like huge millstones, possessing a digestive ability that far surpassed that of ordinary people.
Moreover, they had just depleted their energy today, and the dishes in the Regional Academy far surpassed what they had eaten in the past in terms of taste, nutrition, and even appearance. This greatly increased their appetites.
But as she ate, Rota suddenly froze. She stopped and looked straight at Fang Xingjian.
Seeing her like this, Manny also looked at Fang Xingjian.
Fang Xingjian frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Rota smirked and said, "It's nothing. It's just that after knowing you for so long, this is the first time I've seen you smile."
"Laugh?" Fang Xingjian subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth. It turned out that when he was eating, he suddenly revealed a slight smile.
Fang Xingjian ate a few more mouthfuls of food. Manny and Rota saw that he was suddenly in a daze and could not help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Fang Xingjian suddenly stood up and walked out of the cafeteria. "I'm done. You guys can continue."
The two of them looked at Fang Xingjian strangely, not understanding what was wrong with him.
However, Rota smiled and thought to herself, 'This guy is quite adorable when he smiles. Why does he always look like a dead person?'
Fang Xingjian was even more amazed by his own smile than the other two.
It had been a long time since he had felt happy and blissful. Logically speaking, the purple flames had taken away his kinship, love, and friendship. He should not have any feelings for anyone, but …
'Humans have many emotions. Just like the seven deadly sins — Arrogance, Jealousy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust.
'If my kinship, love, and friendship have all been taken away, then Arrogance, Jealousy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust are all still there …
'Then does that mean that Gluttony has been left behind for me?'
Fang Xingjian carefully recalled his behavior for the past one and a half years. He increasingly felt that every time he ate something delicious, his mood would improve a little. It was true that he was paying more and more attention to what he ate.
He had initially thought that this was just a habit left behind from eating sumptuous meals every day. However, now that he thought about it, he increasingly felt that there was more to it than that.
'I'm really starting to like delicacies more and more. Moreover, delicacies can make me feel a hint of … happiness?'
Fang Xingjian then thought, 'If Gluttony is possible, then what about Lust?'
However, he had stayed in Miracle World for one and a half years. During this one and a half years, he had never once felt anything for that girl.
'No, I don't feel anything. I don't feel anything when it comes to love. If it's true carnal lust …'
Pure carnal lust would naturally mean that there would be no feelings or feelings, and he would just do it directly.
Lilia and Rota's silhouettes suddenly appeared in Fang Xingjian's mind. He then shook his head fiercely, dispelling the distracting thoughts in his mind. He returned to his room, sat cross-legged on his bed, and continued his self-cultivation.
Cultivation had long since become a part of his life.
A silver fog that exuded a faint white light was circling between Fang Xingjian's palms. Each time it trembled, it would continue to strengthen Fang Xingjian's Ether Divine Art cultivation.
Late at night, in another room, the Shadow Assassin Anderson pressed his hands against the ground. The entire ground, walls, and all the furniture were encompassed by black shadows. These shadows continued to jump about, as if they were breathing and had a heartbeat.
Geniuses did not appear just because they talked about it. Ever since three years ago, Anderson had not slept at all. Cultivation had long since become second nature to him.
In the corner of the room, a female Knight looked at this terrifying scene with a long face. She wanted to cry out but did not dare to do so. She was Anderson's roommate.
As if feeling that the female Knight was troublesome, Anderson opened his eyes, glared at her, and said, "Go sleep in the corridor. Don't disturb me here."
The female Knight left as if she had just been pardoned.
Late at night, in another room, Hoult slowly got up from his bed. He casually pulled a white bedsheet and wrapped it around his naked body.
Looking at the other two fair and tender bodies on the bed, he smiled and walked to the window sill, lifting his head to look at the moon.
'Tomorrow will be a sunny day, right?'
The night passed by. Not many Knights had truly fallen asleep. Most of them were either busy with their final cultivation, recuperating, or too excited and nervous.
However, the night would eventually pass, and everyone would welcome the second stage of the Regional Selection, the Fight for the Top Rankings.
