1 Demon Subduing Academy

"Everybody, come here! Selling steamed buns! Hot and fragrant white steamed buns!"

"Steamed buns, fresh demon meat stuffed buns."

At dawn, the snack street outside the Demon Subduing Academy was already lively. All kinds of shouts could be heard.

As usual, Zhou Xuan arrived at a breakfast shop early in the morning.

"Little Zhou, you're here." When the lady boss saw Zhou Xuan, she greeted him warmly.

Zhou Xuan came here to eat breakfast every day and was considered a regular customer of the restaurant.

"Aunt Liu, get me the usual," he said as he found an empty seat and put down the book in his hand.

The title of the book was eye-catching. It was called "Ten Thousand Ways to Eat Demonic Beasts".

The Lady Boss had a deep impression of Zhou Xuan who was her regular customer.

She remembered that in the past month, Zhou Xuan would come here every day to eat breakfast, and he would eat the same thing every time.

Fortunately, she did not have a daughter. Otherwise, she would really think that Zhou Xuan had other motives.

There were three treasures for breakfast; soy milk, fried dough sticks, and tofu pudding.

A cup of soy milk, a fried dough stick, a bowl of tofu pudding, and two favorite white steamed buns were Zhou Xuan's daily breakfast.

Zhou Xuan ate his breakfast while reading his book, deep in thought.

This was the Cerulean Planet. It was currently in the era of transcendence. Everything had evolved, and demon beasts ran rampant.

A cat could evolve into the infamous king of the jungle, possessing the ability to smash mountains and shatter rocks.

A small fish could evolve into the king of the seas and it was easy for it to overturn rivers and seas.

Humans had once gone through a long period of darkness. Later on, they awakened their astral souls and transformed into demon hunters. Only then did they have the ability to fight against powerful demon beasts.

The Demon Subduing Academy opposite was an academy established to suppress demon beasts. It had a long history and had many experts.

"Aunt Liu, I'm done eating. I'll leave first." After Zhou Xuan finished eating, he picked up his book and walked out of Ruyi's breakfast stall.

The lady boss, Liu Ruyi, was over 30 years old. She had a graceful waist and was in her prime years.

She looked at Zhou Xuan's back and couldn't help but shake her head. "Awakening his Astral Soul at the age of 14 and reaching Silver Three-Stars in two years… Such a speed of growth is alright but it's a pity that his Astral Soul is a weed and he can only do odd jobs in the Demon Subduing Pagoda. Without the guidance of a mentor and the support of resources, there's almost no future for him to speak of."

She used to be a famous demon hunter and had killed many demon beasts. She was indeed qualified to comment on some things.

Be it demon hunters or demon beasts, there were differences in strength and realm.

From low to high, they were divided into Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Star Brilliance.

Each realm was further divided, from One Star to Nine Stars.

Bronze-level demon beasts already had intelligence and could speak human language.

Zhou Xuan was now 16 years old, and his realm was at the Silver Three-Star level.

A month ago, he entered the Demon Subduing Academy and became the student with the lowest status. He did odd jobs in the Demon Subduing Tower every day.

In the eyes of others, there was no future in doing odd jobs in the Demon Subduing Pagoda.

However, he did not think that way.

At this moment, he walked into the Demon Subduing Academy with light footsteps and a happy mood. There was even an imperceptible smile on his lips.

This was because he had a secret that outsiders did not know. He was a transmigrator and had awakened an "Unscientific Sign-In System" yesterday.

He could sign in on the bodies of various demon beasts and obtain various treasures.

There were a large number of demonic beasts in the Subduing Pagoda. To him, there was nothing better than doing odd jobs there.

Therefore, even if his Astral Soul was only a weed, he was not depressed.

A blade of grass could also cut through the sun, moon, and stars.

The Demon Subduing Pagoda stood on the back mountain of the Demon Subduing Academy.

The environment there was strange. It was shrouded in a hazy fog all year round, and very few students were willing to step foot there.

Especially since it was still early, that place seemed even more oppressive.

However, Zhou Xuan was not afraid of the special environment there.

He went up the mountain and arrived outside an ancient building with ease.

It was a huge tower that towered into the clouds. It was ancient and magnificent. It was the Demon Subduing Pagoda.

The Demon Subduing Pagoda was the core of the Demon Subduing Academy. A large number of demon beasts were imprisoned inside.

Being near the tower, one would feel very oppressed, and even breathing would be difficult.

Zhou Xuan had been here before, but he was still unable to completely adapt to the environment here.

Fortunately, he had the Demon Suppression Stone specially made by the academy. It contained the pure power of the Astral Soul and could resist the invasion of demonic aura. Therefore, he could safely enter and exit the first level of the Subduing Pagoda.

Daily Missions:

1. Feed the demon beasts

2. Record the survival and evolution of the demon beasts.

Demonic beasts imprisoned in the Suppression Pagoda had different uses. Some could be eaten, some could be used for medicinal purposes, and some could be used to train students.

Therefore, he could not let them starve to death. He had to feed them every few days.

With excitement, he quickly opened the door to the first level.

There were many sealed rooms inside. To demon beasts, they were cells.

It was said that every house was made of divine materials from beyond the heavens. They were incomparably sturdy and could trap even top-notch demon kings.

In room 1, there was a Silver Three-Star ox demon imprisoned. Just yesterday, Zhou Xuan had signed in on this ox demon and obtained a Demon Ox Boxing Technique.

He stood at the door and threw a bundle of grass to the ox demon. Then, he went to Room 2, where a Silver Four-Star turtle was imprisoned. It weighed hundreds of kilograms.

The tortoise demon lay motionless on the ground. Its breathing was indistinct, as if it was on the verge of death.

However, it was fine. In fact, it was in a very good state.

Yesterday, Zhou Xuan had signed in on this turtle demon and obtained a Turtle Breathing Technique.

With such a cultivation technique, he could hide his strength, restrain his aura, and be a person who lived in peace.

"Don't play dead. Get up and eat," Zhou Xuan said as he threw out half a cow leg.

Seeing that the big turtle was not moving, he added, "I still have to peel off your shell to make armor later. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

"This is heartbreaking." The huge tortoise demon stuck out half of its head and began to eat the beef.

Then, Zhou Xuan carried the other half of the bull leg to the door of Room 3. He looked inside and saw a three-meter-tall bear demon.

It was a bad-tempered bear that hated humans.

When it saw Zhou Xuan, it roared and pounced over with bared fangs and brandished claws.

"How dare you touch my butt? Get in here. I'm going to tear you apart!"

However, there was a Demon Suppression Stone at the door. No matter how angry it was, it could not come out. It could not hurt Zhou Xuan at all.

Just yesterday, Zhou Xuan had signed in on this Silver Four-Star bear and obtained a Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Originally, Zhou Xuan wanted to feed it, but when he saw its hateful look, he planned to extinguish its murderous aura.

"If you have such a temper, then go hungry again." With that, he closed the door and turned to leave.

When the Violent Bear saw Zhou Xuan leave, it touched its shriveled stomach and its face darkened. Damn it, it was too careless.

Then, Zhou Xuan came to room 4 and looked through the hole in the door. He saw a young woman.

Her entire body was green.

Her clothes were green, her hair was green, and even the hat she wore was green.

She looked harmless and pure.

However, Zhou Xuan knew that she was not a kind person.

She was not a human, but a demoness with a Silver Four-Star cultivation.

Her true form was only a weed, but after cultivating, her leaves were like blades and swords. Her attacks were sharp and could easily penetrate a Demon Hunter's body.

The Unscientific Sign-In System had a few rules. First, one could only sign in once on the same demon beast. Second, one could sign in three times a day. Third, one had to touch the target to sign in.

There was also something else that did not make sense. The level of the items dropped by signing in was not necessarily proportional to the level of the demon beast. Perhaps, signing in on an inconspicuous demon beast could also drop a top-notch true treasure.

This last point was also Zhou Xuan's favorite point.

Today's sign-in began with the demoness in front of him.

Zhou Xuan opened the door and took two steps forward. He said bluntly, "Come here, let me touch you."
