Oscar Makes His Appearance

Oscar Makes His Appearance

After seeing Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu immediately spoke with a smile.

"Hey, Hao Ge, isn't that the big dumb tiger from yesterday?"

Xiao Wu did not lower her voice, and Dai Mubai heard her clearly. His face immediately filled with anger as he looked toward the source of the voice.

However, the instant he saw Yin Hao, the anger on his face froze.

Li Yusong cast a curious glance their way.

"Mubai, do you know them?"

Know them? It was more than that! The injuries on his back had not even fully healed yet.

Dai Mubai nodded.

"Yesterday... I fought them, but... I lost..."

Li Yusong had not been particularly interested when he heard Dai Mubai say that he had fought them. After all, as a student of Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai had always followed Shrek Academy's principle that "those who dare not cause trouble are mediocrities." He stirred up trouble every day, so fighting someone was nothing unusual.

But... when he heard the latter half, the words "I lost," Li Yusong became interested. Dai Mubai was a level thirty-seven Soul Elder, and he possessed the White Tiger Martial Soul, one of the top Beast Martial Souls. Anyone capable of defeating him naturally intrigued Li Yusong.

After carefully looking Yin Hao and the others over, Li Yusong committed them to memory before continuing the test.

Before long, it was Yin Hao's group's turn.

When the four of them stepped forward, Dai Mubai seemed to have seen something unbelievable and stared fixedly at Zhu Zhuqing.

Naturally, Yin Hao had not used the Blue Silver Domain to disguise Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul today, so it was normal for Dai Mubai to notice. Yin Hao had done it deliberately. It would only be interesting if Dai Mubai saw through it...

"Hey, big dumb tiger, why are you staring at our Zhuqing like that?"

Xiao Wu did not indulge him and spoke directly.

Dai Mubai first felt anger rise in his heart, but when he saw Yin Hao, he suppressed it again and awkwardly stepped aside.

The examination continued. Tang San stepped forward first, and after paying the registration fee, he held out his hand to Li Yusong.

Li Yusong felt Tang San's wrist, his brows gradually knitting together. He then looked at Tang San and asked,

"Have you trained in some kind of soul skill?"

Tang San nodded.

Then, just as in the original story, Tang San raised his calf. After feeling the bones in Tang San's lower leg, Li Yusong nodded.

"Good. Your bone age is suitable. Release your Martial Soul."

A flash of blue light passed, and an utterly ordinary Blue Silver Grass appeared in Tang San's hand. Two yellow soul rings emerged along with it.

"Blue Silver Grass? Can Blue Silver Grass cultivate this quickly these days?"

Hearing Li Yusong's words, Tang San revealed a proud smile.

"Master, I passed, right?"

Li Yusong nodded, then waved Tang San through.

Next, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing also passed the test one after another. When Dai Mubai saw Zhu Zhuqing release her Martial Soul, he once again fell into a daze. Both Zhu Zhuqing and Yin Hao noticed it.

However, Zhu Zhuqing showed no reaction and did not say anything to Dai Mubai.

After the two had finished their examinations, Yin Hao stepped forward. The process was the same as before. After checking his bone age, Yin Hao summoned his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.

"A Soul Elder? A twelve-year-old Soul Elder?"

At Li Yusong's age, he considered himself well-traveled and had seen quite a few exceptionally gifted geniuses. Yet this was the first time he had seen a twelve-year-old Soul Elder like Yin Hao, especially one with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

Ning Rongrong, standing nearby, was equally astonished. As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she had seen countless young prodigies from all walks of life since childhood. Not to mention the many talented youths within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect itself, but none of them had broken through to Soul Elder before the age of twelve.

With that thought, Ning Rongrong developed a hint of interest in Yin Hao. It was not romantic interest; she simply admired his talent and wanted to recruit him into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Li Yusong calmed himself, then called out to Dai Mubai.

"Mubai, take him inside directly."

Yin Hao stepped forward and looked at Dai Mubai with a smile.

"Hello, my name is Yin Hao. Some unpleasant things happened before, and I apologize to you."

Dai Mubai clearly had not expected Yin Hao to apologize first. Besides, yesterday, he had been the one who beat up Yin Hao's friend first, which was why Yin Hao had acted.

"It's... it's fine. But brother, you really fight dirty..."

Yin Hao merely smiled and did not respond. Ning Rongrong, who had passed the test but had yet to leave, cast them a curious look.

"Fight dirty? How?"

Zhu Zhuqing also looked over curiously.

Xiao Wu, who had spent six years with Yin Hao, lightly bit her lip and nearly burst out laughing.

Dai Mubai looked embarrassed, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly as he hurriedly changed the subject.

"It's nothing. All right, I'll take you to the second test."

Everyone nodded. This time, because Zhu Zhuqing had come together with Yin Hao and the others, Dai Mubai did not leave. Instead, he accompanied them all to the second test.

Just then, a soft, languid voice rang out.

"Selling sausages, selling sausages! Come take a look, don't miss out as you pass by. Oscar-brand Sausage, delicious and sweet. Cheap and filling. Just five copper coins each. Eat an Oscar-brand Sausage, and you'll definitely have an easier time passing the entrance exam."

A "middle-aged man" dressed in plain gray clothes, with neatly trimmed short hair and a face full of beard, yet possessing a pair of large Peach Blossom Eyes, pushed a cart toward them.

"Hao Ge, it smells so good. Buy me one..."

Xiao Wu clung to Yin Hao's arm and pressed it into the soft fullness before her as she coquettishly pleaded.

What she did not notice was that Zhu Zhuqing behind her was looking at her with an odd expression. She quickly withdrew her gaze, as though nothing had happened.

Dai Mubai naturally heard Xiao Wu's words and immediately shouted at the sausage vendor.

"Oscar! Haven't I warned you? You're not allowed to sell sausages in the academy! Do you want everyone to vomit so badly that they're late?"

Tang San gave Dai Mubai a puzzled look, not understanding why he was reacting so strongly, so he asked directly,

"Why do you say that?"

Dai Mubai's expression became somewhat strange.

"Little Oscar, make a fresh sausage."

Oscar's expression immediately turned awkward.

"Boss Dai, there's no need, right? We've been classmates for years. If you do this, the new junior students will hold a grudge against me."

Although Oscar resisted with all his might, under Dai Mubai's pressure, he still reluctantly summoned his Martial Soul.

"First Soul Skill, I have a big sausage..."

"Pfft... Hahaha..."

Upon hearing that, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong immediately burst out laughing. Tang San also smiled, though he forcibly held back his laughter.

Zhu Zhuqing, meanwhile, looked at Oscar with some disgust. She then glanced at Yin Hao before withdrawing her gaze.
