Chapter 48: A Pleasant Breakfast
At the same time, Su Mo came to realize that he wasn't actually born with twin martial souls. Bibi Dong had accidentally entered his body during his martial soul awakening, becoming his second martial soul.
Su Mo also learned that his Rakshasa God martial soul was merely a remnant divine consciousness left behind by Bibi Dong after her death, not the complete Rakshasa God.
In other words, aside from Bibi Dong's intact memories, the Rakshasa God martial soul couldn't truly be considered a god-level martial soul; it was more of a residual soul.
However, there was something about this revelation that surprised Su Mo.
Previously, Su Mo had always thought that Bibi Dong had no use before the Rakshasa God martial soul awakened.
It wasn't until later, when Bibi Dong started teaching him about martial souls, that Su Mo began to see some value in her presence.
Then came the earlier moments of shared vision and the newly discovered shared hearing, and Su Mo finally felt that this entity—which he once questioned if he could call a cheat—was beginning to show its worth.
Now, after thoroughly understanding his second martial soul, Su Mo also uncovered something that even Bibi Dong might not know.
That is, even without awakening the Rakshasa God martial soul, Su Mo could burn Bibi Dong's divine consciousness to temporarily gain the power of the Rakshasa God, a divine-level power.
However, once burned, Bibi Dong's consciousness would completely disappear, leaving only the Rakshasa God martial soul, similar to Bo Saixi's Sea God martial soul.
If Su Mo had learned of this right after awakening his martial soul, he might have burned Bibi Dong's consciousness without hesitation whenever necessary.
Now, though, Su Mo could feel Bibi Dong's care for him. Over the past few years, she had wholeheartedly imparted her knowledge of martial souls to him.
Therefore, unless it was a matter of life and death, Su Mo couldn't bring himself to burn Bibi Dong's consciousness.
Still, even if he never used it, just knowing that he had this trump card made Su Mo feel much more at ease.
Even if he was still weak, he was no longer someone who could be easily manipulated without any means of counterattack.
If pushed too far, he would strike back!
Nevertheless, Su Mo hoped he would never have to use this option.
"It's time to go, or else I might lose control!"
Feeling his negative emotions intensifying, Su Mo removed his hands from Bibi Dong's body and quickly exited the blood pool, finally returning his consciousness to his body.
Back in his dorm room, Su Mo opened his eyes.
After closing the shared vision, Su Mo pondered over one thing: Should he force Bibi Dong to stop watching Yu Xiaogang so obsessively?
"Forget it. Bibi Dong has treated me quite well these past few years, so I won't confront her about this for now."
"Besides, her keeping an eye on Yu Xiaogang also helps me monitor him!"
"The most important thing is that if Bibi Dong can see Yu Xiaogang's true nature with her own eyes, it would be for the best."
After some thought, Su Mo decided to observe for now. Knowing he could fully control Bibi Dong, he was no longer worried about any uncertainties.
If he could preserve Bibi Dong's consciousness, Su Mo certainly didn't want her to disappear.
There was no doubt that with this divine consciousness, his second martial soul, the Rakshasa God, would become even more formidable after awakening.
Su Mo even suspected that his Rakshasa God martial soul, like Yu Xiaogang's Luo San Pao, could be summoned directly for combat. In that case, keeping Bibi Dong's consciousness was even more crucial.
...
The next morning, Su Mo and his companions enjoyed an exceptionally lavish breakfast.
Everyone ate to their heart's content. Previously, Shrek Academy's meals had been far from satisfactory, barely enough to fill their stomachs, let alone provide sufficient nutrition.
"Did the dean come into some money?"
"This is the most extravagant meal I've had since coming to Shrek!"
"I can hardly believe this is real..."
From the exclamations of Ma Hongjun and Oscar, it was clear that Shrek's meals had been subpar in previous terms as well.
"Su Mo, have this chicken drumstick!"
Just as Su Mo was eating, a chicken drumstick was suddenly offered to him.
Without looking up, Su Mo already knew that only Ning Rongrong would give him a drumstick.
Turning to look at Ning Rongrong, who sat beside him, Su Mo smiled gently. "Alright, you should eat too, Rongrong!"
"Okay!"
Seeing Su Mo's warm smile, Ning Rongrong responded sweetly, grinning from ear to ear.
"My drumstick..."
Across the table, Ma Hongjun mumbled, staring at the scene. It was unclear if he was truly upset about his last drumstick being snatched by Ning Rongrong for Su Mo or if he was simply envious that Su Mo had someone who would grab a drumstick for him.
"Third Brother, this egg is for you!"
Seeing what happened at the table, Xiao Wu immediately grabbed an egg and stuffed it into Tang San's hand.
"Alright, thank you, Xiao Wu. But I'm already full; I can't eat so much. How about we share it?"
Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu affectionately and said with a smile.
"Sure, sure!"
Xiao Wu grinned, her eyes sparkling with joy.
"..."
Watching this scene, Ma Hongjun suddenly found that the lavish breakfast on his plate no longer tasted as good.
Oscar seemed to feel the same way.
The two exchanged a glance. Gritting his teeth, Ma Hongjun grabbed an egg and thrust it at Oscar. "Here, Oscar, this is for you!"
"..."
Oscar stared at the egg in his hand, unsure whether he should eat it or not.
"Pfft—"
Ning Rongrong couldn't hold back her laughter at the sight. She kindly suggested, "Oscar, you should give one to Ma Hongjun too! We're teammates, after all. We should be more loving and supportive of each other!"
Ignoring the mischievous and gleeful smile in Ning Rongrong's eyes, her suggestion actually seemed quite well-intentioned.
Dai Mubai watched the antics at the table, feeling a bit exasperated but also slightly tempted. He glanced over at Zhu Zhuqing, seemingly wanting to curry some favor.
However, upon sensing his gaze, Zhu Zhuqing quickly finished the food in her mouth, put down her bowl, and said, "I'm full. You all continue eating."
With that, Zhu Zhuqing left on her own.
"..."
Dai Mubai felt utterly frustrated, but since returning, Zhu Zhuqing's attitude toward him had been less cold than before, so he wasn't too angry.
"Rongrong, let's share this one too. Half is enough for me."
Su Mo, not paying attention to what everyone else was doing, finished gnawing on his drumstick, then picked up an egg. After peeling it, he split it in half and handed one part to Ning Rongrong.
"Mm-hmm!"
Ning Rongrong happily took it, her eyes gleaming with joy.
After having a satisfying meal, Su Mo and the others headed to the training grounds to gather.
There, one person was already waiting for them.
"Has everyone had enough to eat?"
Yu Xiaogang asked slowly as he saw everyone had arrived.
