Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Eating to Gain Energy

As expected!

After personally eating the meat bun, Mo Hui immediately understood the difference between the two.

The previous braised chicken leg was made from actual ingredients, so there were residues after absorbing the energy, but this meat bun was made by a Food Soul Master using their spirit. It was originally a product synthesized from soul power, so naturally, there would be no residues.

"Pop pop~"

Soon, Bobo finished the meat buns in front of it. Seeing the empty table, Bobo looked longingly at Mo Hui.

Seeing this, Mo Hui immediately placed the last bun in front of Bobo.

"Uh~"

After finishing another bun, Bobo let out a satisfied burp. It patted its slightly round belly and expressed its desire to return to Mo Hui's body.

Mo Hui naturally agreed to Bobo's request and immediately recalled Bobo.

However, something unexpected happened. After Bobo returned to his body, it brought the energy absorbed from eating into his body as well.

"Not good!"

Mo Hui immediately thought inwardly. He had just finished meditating not long ago, and his soul power was already full. Although summoning Bobo to fight Wang Sheng had consumed some, it had almost recovered after this short rest.

There was hardly any consumption of soul power in his body, and now he had also gained the energy absorbed by Bobo from eating two meat buns. The total amount of soul power in his body instantly exceeded the limit his body could contain, and his meridians and muscles even felt a faint stinging pain.

"I must immediately convert this energy into soul power, otherwise, it might have negative effects on my body!"

Mo Hui made a decisive decision, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.

The excess energy was like a raging flood, constantly surging and rushing within Mo Hui's body, but under Mo Hui's careful guidance, it was eventually calmed down.

About 10 minutes later, Mo Hui opened his eyes again, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

Although the situation just now was dangerous, after being tossed around by this excess energy, his body's tolerance for soul power had slightly increased.

In other words, his level had improved. The increase in just this short while was even greater than his previous four hours of cultivation!

However, as the excitement faded, Mo Hui felt the soreness in his entire body and couldn't help but smile wryly, "It seems this method can't be used often. Not only is the risk high, but my body can't handle it either."

If he wanted to cultivate using this method, he would have to conduct a large number of experiments to find the relationship between excess energy and the body's tolerance, so as to balance the risk and the speed of soul power increase.

And the experimental subject, of course, would be himself.

Extensive experimentation in an unfamiliar field is naturally dangerous, but if he wanted his soul power to increase quickly, he had to take this risk.

"Indeed, no cultivation system can be underestimated, even Douluo Continent, which is called the fantasy floor tile."

Mo Hui sighed in his heart.

Eating the remaining food in large bites, Mo Hui also packed two meat buns and went down to the second floor of the cafeteria.

Mo Hui took a quick look and saw that Wang Sheng was gone. It seemed he had delayed for a while, and Wang Sheng had left after finishing his meal.

Returning to Dormitory Seven, there were many more people inside now, and Wang Sheng was indeed among them.

Seeing Mo Hui enter, Wang Sheng immediately stood up and said to the people in the dormitory, "This is Mo Hui. He's a new work-study student. I fought him earlier, and I lost."

Hearing this, everyone else was surprised. Wang Sheng actually lost?

Instantly, everyone's eyes turned to Mo Hui. When they saw that Mo Hui looked only six or seven years old, they were even more astonished. How could someone so young defeat Wang Sheng?

One must know that soul power has a very obvious strengthening effect on the body, and Wang Sheng's soul power had already reached level 8, the highest among them.

Seeing these children sizing him up, Mo Hui also smiled and nodded, replying, "Hello everyone, my name is Mo Hui. Wang Sheng has roughly told me the situation. I don't like the term 'boss'. You can call me by my name or Dorm Head."

"Hello, Dorm Head!"

The children immediately said.

"If you have anything, you can come to me. I will help you solve what I can, but the premise is that it doesn't affect my cultivation."

After speaking, Mo Hui quickly returned to his bed and entered a state of meditation shortly after.

Seeing this, these children also breathed a sigh of relief. They had been worried that this new 'boss' would be difficult to get along with, but now it seemed acceptable.

Cultivation time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

The next morning, Mo Hui, who had cultivated all night, opened his eyes and felt the soul power in his body, revealing a satisfied smile.

Although Bobo's meditation method was slow, long-term cultivation still made him feel his progress.

His soul power level was now around level 3, 42%. This 2% increase was partly the result of Mo Hui's overnight cultivation and partly due to the extra energy from recalling Bobo yesterday which increased his body's tolerance for soul power.

What made Mo Hui most happy was that his body, which had been stinging due to the excess energy yesterday, had fully recovered after a night of meditation and cultivation.

This way, as long as he was careful, he could completely let Bobo eat and recall the full Bobo every day to make his body adapt to the feeling of excessive energy. This would make his cultivation speed much faster than expected.

"However, I still need to be careful. The excess energy yesterday was not much, yet it caused my body to sting. If the excess energy is too much, even if I don't explode and die, it probably won't feel good."

Mo Hui thought to himself.

At this moment, Mo Hui looked around and found that Wang Sheng was also cultivating, which surprised him a little.

It is a child's nature to love playing, and because of the transmigration, his mental strength was far stronger than ordinary people, allowing him to cultivate for long periods. He didn't expect Wang Sheng to be able to cultivate all night. It seems these work-study students are also very diligent!

In fact, Mo Hui didn't know that shortly after he entered meditation, these children in the dormitory saw how diligent he was and all started to cultivate.

But the dull of meditation was not something these children could endure, and after a few hours, they gave up cultivating.

As for Wang Sheng, he had woken up more than an hour ago to go to the toilet and saw Mo Hui, who was stronger than him, still cultivating. A sense of urgency immediately arose in his heart, and he restarted meditating. In reality, including last night, he had only meditated for four or five hours.

After getting up and simply washing up, Mo Hui went to the second floor of the cafeteria to buy some breakfast.

Immediately after, he went to the training ground to exercise. Here he met Mo Hen.

"Little Hui is exercising, truly diligent!"

Mo Hen, who was running, slowed down and looked at Mo Hui exercising, his eyes full of satisfaction.

"Uncle Mo Hen, I heard that the body can affect the absorption of soul rings, so I thought of exercising to strive for a hundred-year first soul ring!"

While running, Mo Hui said to Mo Hen.

"Little Hui is ambitious. Uncle will try hard to help you get a hundred-year soul ring then," Mo Hen said, giving Mo Hui a thumbs up.

For ordinary soul masters, a hundred-year first soul ring is relatively difficult. On the one hand, teachers in primary schools are generally only at the level of Two-Ring Great Soul Masters, and hundred-year soul beasts pose a certain danger to them. So unless they are lucky enough to encounter one, teachers generally won't specifically hunt hundred-year soul rings for students.

On the other hand is the students' tolerance. Many students' physical fitness is not very strong, and there is a possibility of failure when attaching a hundred-year soul ring. Although the probability is small, once it fails, people can die. Therefore, unless it is a genius, teachers are more inclined to find a soul ring that is several decades old for students.

"Ding-a-ling~~"

After exercising for a while, the preparatory bell rang. Mo Hui also quickly ran to the teaching building and began his first day of study life at Nuoding Academy.
