At first there were only a handful, then more joined and soon a whole entourage was behind him. The crowd continued growing as nobody wanted to miss whatever happened next.
After all, the young man had already broken several assessment records so they thought that perhaps he would break another. As it turned out, they were absolutely right.
The moment Little Bull entered the mess hall, disaster struck.
The cooks initially welcomed Elder He Jian respectfully. Then they saw the giant youth following behind him. Then they watched him eat. Then their expressions gradually transformed from curiosity into horror.
Plates disappeared, bowls vanished, skewers were stripped, bones were discarded and entire baskets of spirit grain buns ceased to exist. A disciple standing nearby slowly counted. Then counted again before giving up entirely.
Little Bull simply ate too quickly.
