What a Pity He Isn't the Protagonist

Come to think of it, Oscar should be the only normal person among the Shrek Seven Devils, right?

By the assessments of countless netizens, Oscar truly deserved the title of normal.

A food-type martial soul and Innate Full Soul Power at rank 10—he was unquestionably a true child of heaven. What a pity he had been born in that tiny patch of land known as Shrek Academy.

Tsk, he had enough talent, yet lacked the protagonist's halo. It really was a bit regrettable.

As one of the rare normal people, I might as well spend a few more words evaluating Oscar today. It would also help pass the time.

Huh??? Why had the style of the Diary Instance suddenly changed? Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong looked at each other.

After reading the diary for several days, they understood Wei Feng's diary-writing style all too well.

But now...

This sudden update in content.

For a moment, both of them were completely thrown off.

When the many other women saw this, their eyes also lit up.

Innate Full Soul Power was enough to prove one's talent.

And there was also the normal person Wei Feng had mentioned in the diary, someone acknowledged by countless netizens.

This evaluation...

It truly made people envious!

Although his soul skills were somewhat improper, according to the original novel's author, Oscar had fallen victim to some perverse setting.

Those soul skill names... Let me think. I Have a Big Sausage, I Have a Small Sausage...

Forget it, forget it. Better not mention Oscar's soul skills. Why did writing this kind of diary make me feel creeped out?

Though his soul skills were abnormal and he looked a little lecherous, that seemingly could not deny the fact that he was a normal person.

Shrek Academy was a monster academy, existing to cultivate monsters. Having such a normal person with a sense of responsibility and accountability was quite rare.

Xiao Wu: "..."

Ning Rongrong: "..."

This was what counted as a normal person?

Wei Feng, what exactly did you mean by that?!

Could it be that we aren't normal people?

Normal as he was, perhaps because of his childhood experiences, he was too prone to inferiority and too prone to cowardice.

According to the original novel, Oscar fell for Rongrong the moment she entered Shrek Academy, and he had always worked hard for her.

In that respect, he could be called a good man of the new century. But if he did not dare confess, then it was all for nothing.

Ning Rongrong's pretty face flushed slightly.

Seeing the Diary Instance reveal that Oscar had fallen for her from the very beginning.

She felt somewhat embarrassed, more or less.

Still, inferiority was only temporary. In the later parts of the original novel, Oscar seemed to have overcome it.

Judging by the timing, shortly after the Soul Master Competition ended, Oscar should join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and confess his feelings to my wife Rongrong.

Mm... Then came the heartbreaking part, I suppose. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was, after all, only a support sect. My wife Rongrong was destined to inherit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's legacy.

According to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's rules, my wife Rongrong had to find a powerful attack-type soul master as her future partner, so that he could protect the sect.

What a pity for Oscar. He bore that responsibility alone and left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, making a ten-year promise and going out alone to train and improve his strength.

That part really was manly. He deserved the netizens' praise as a true man.

Ning Rongrong's expression changed sharply.

She stared at the diary's contents in disbelief.

She had never imagined that, in the near future, Oscar would go so far for her.

"Oscar seems... really quite good," Xiao Wu said softly.

Comparing the Diary Instance's earlier evaluation of Tang San.

Now, in contrast to its evaluation of Oscar, although Xiao Wu was hopelessly love-struck, she could still somewhat discern the difference between them.

One casually declared that others already had a death wish, constantly hid his true strength, and harbored an exceedingly vicious mind.

The other, in pursuit of the woman he loved, was willing to leave alone and desperately raise his strength outside, all so he could become a harbor shielding his beloved from wind and rain.

The disparity between the two was obvious at a glance to anyone with eyes.

Ning Rongrong nodded. "He is quite good, but our sect's rules truly do exist."

"Perhaps... this is simply our fate!"

Xiao Wu hugged Ning Rongrong sympathetically. "Let's keep reading the diary."

The many other women.

Seeing the Diary Instance's latest update.

All of them fell silent for a while.

Women were emotional creatures.

Quite a few of them had never met Oscar.

But through what they had learned from the Diary Instance, they could not help but admire him.

As for the vulgar soul skill names from before, they all chose to selectively ignore them.

No matter what, it was all that vulgar author's fault! Yes, that was exactly it.

The weather was unpredictable, and fortune and misfortune could strike overnight. Oscar's fate might have been decreed by heaven, destined to be filled with endless hardships!

If only he had possessed a protagonist's halo, the ten-year promise between Oscar and my wife Rongrong should not have come with so much trouble.

"The weather is unpredictable, and fortune and misfortune can strike overnight?"

Ning Rongrong's expression abruptly changed.

The words were simple and easy to understand.

Yet they instantly left her deeply unsettled.

Although the original novel did not mention much about what Oscar had encountered during the years he was away, he had probably narrowly escaped death many times!

After all, that ferocious scar that nearly disfigured him was enough to imagine just how brutal the battle at the time had been. (Scarred Oscar.jpg)

Compared to the crises faced by the great protagonist Tang, either his strength soared by leaps and bounds, or his cheats activated one after another, or his bloodline awakened and even made him a little more handsome.

Oscar's fate could only be attributed to his lack of a protagonist's halo. He was a true man, but he was truly miserable too!

Soon, the diary updated again.

Ning Rongrong saw the image attached to the entry.

Wei Feng had directly extracted the image from an online fan illustration drawn by netizens from his memories.

Though it was merely a fan illustration, it still bore quite a resemblance to Oscar himself.

Ning Rongrong looked at the Oscar in the picture, who was clearly much more mature than he was now.

She looked at the hideous, terrifying scar on Oscar's face, one that truly could be called disfiguring.

All of a sudden, she fell silent.

Xiao Wu and the other women also fell silent.

After reading the diary entries before and after, all they felt was a strange taste in their hearts.

There was always a faint, inexplicable tightness in their chests.

He was clearly someone responsible and dependable, and an exceptionally talented person at that. Why was his fate so full of hardships?

Was the difference truly so enormous just because he was not the protagonist? Fate was being far too cruel!

Even their impression of Wei Feng gradually changed under the influence of these matters.

When Wei Feng was serious, he actually seemed quite reliable.

But soon, the women's moods changed drastically again.

They had just felt that Wei Feng had suddenly become reliable.

Then they saw the Diary Instance update once more.

Black lines could not help appearing across all their foreheads.

Wei Feng was indeed still the same Wei Feng!
