Oscar's Despair, and Zhao Wuji's Inevitable Beating

Ning Rongrong took Xiao Wu away.

Zhu Zhuqing silently followed behind them.

Ning Rongrong had noticed that Xiao Wu had known Xiao Xian for some time, and Tang San, who was always with Xiao Wu, was even Xiao Xian's younger brother?

She assumed Xiao Wu was more familiar with Shrek and intended to ask what exactly was going on here.

After counting everyone up, why was her Soul Power the lowest?

Her Martial Soul was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the number one support Tool Martial Soul in the world!

Yet this dump actually had two Food System Spirit Masters with Innate Full Soul Power?!

If they cultivated to the level of Soul Douluo or even Titled Douluo, and wanted to establish their own forces, what place would the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have left?

She had originally been proud, even thought highly of herself. Yet in this dump, she had somehow become the worst one.

Although Xiao Xian had merely been teasing her, she still found it hard to accept. For the first time in her life, she even felt a sense of urgency.

Unfortunately, Xiao Wu knew just as little about Shrek as she did. Stammering through the conversation, she only talked a little about Xiao Xian himself and Tang San.

After learning about Xiao Wu's relationship with Xiao Xian and Tang San, Ning Rongrong instantly became gossipy. After teasing Xiao Wu for a while, she felt much better.

Only Xiao Wu was left sitting on the bed, puffing out her cheeks and baring her teeth and claws.

"Xiao San, how is Master?" Returning to the dormitory, Xiao Xian poured Tang San a cup of water at the table by the window.

"Thank you, Senior Brother! Master... Master is still the same as ever. It's just that with you gone, he seemed to become a little stricter..." Tang San answered honestly with a faint smile.

"Stricter... I suppose." Xiao Xian shook his head. Master had never been particularly strict with him and gave him quite a lot of freedom.

Tang San's faint smile turned bitter.

Master treated him well, but compared to Xiao Xian, there was still a gap.

Especially since Xiao Xian's Martial Soul resembled Master's so closely. Tang San had once thought Xiao Xian was Master's son, only to later learn that they were relatives.

But it made sense. He still had a father, while Senior Brother...

An unpleasant thought flashed through Tang San's mind.

Xiao Xian chatted with Tang San for a while longer, asking how the dean of Nuoding Junior Spirit Master Academy had been lately and how several teachers he was more familiar with were doing.

Tang San knew about some of them, but not much about the others.

After Xiao Xian finished asking, Tang San did most of the talking.

Tang San mentioned that his father still had not returned. He and Xiao Wu had waited in Sacred Soul Village for many days.

He also mentioned that Xiao Wu still had not fully agreed to become their little sister... or rather, she had agreed halfway.

Whenever Xiao Xian was not around, she was willing to be Tang San's little sister. But when Xiao Xian was present, she was not.

Tang San looked rather helpless.

Over the years, he had given her quite a few valuable things.

He could not quite understand it either. Xiao Wu and Xiao Xian's relationship was good one moment and bad the next, utterly unpredictable.

Xiao Xian was left dumbfounded. That rabbit really had all sorts of tricks when it came to mooching Hidden Weapons.

There was not much else worth discussing, so Xiao Xian casually mentioned that his Martial Soul seemed about to evolve, that his Third Spirit Ring had perfectly met its target, and then showed Tang San his Purple Light Soul Power.

Tang San sincerely congratulated Xiao Xian.

With Xiao Jue, Xiao Xian's cultivation speed had always been fast, but Tang San and Xiao Wu had unexpectedly almost caught up to him later on.

Clearly, that problem had now been resolved.

The dragon's might and dangerous aura emanating from Xiao Jue made Tang San quite uneasy.

After talking with Xiao Xian, Tang San was visibly in a much better mood, with even more smiles on his face.

At noon, the newly joined students ate in the cafeteria and formally got acquainted with Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Dai Mubai, and the others.

Xiao Xian was still asleep. He only heard afterward that Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai had gotten into an unpleasant argument.

Dai Mubai was so angered that he went straight to Suotuo City. Who knew whether he had gone looking for those twins.

Ning Rongrong still wore the appearance of a gentle beauty as she quietly gathered information about the other students in the academy.

After confirming that things really were as Xiao Xian had said, she could not help sinking into despair and self-doubt, muttering something under her breath.

This continued until evening.

No new students arrived at the academy, and not even one person made it through the fourth test.

Oscar returned to the dormitory and eagerly prepared to shave his beard.

Clearly, he had seen the three beautiful new junior sisters at noon and fallen for them.

At the same time, he looked at Xiao Xian somewhat hesitantly. "Brother Xian, um..."

Xiao Xian slowly opened his eyes. "What is it?"

Oscar grinned playfully. "Brother Xian, three such beautiful junior sisters just arrived. Aren't you planning to..."

Xiao Xian glanced at him. "Which one do you have your eye on?"

Oscar chuckled. "Xiao Wu knows you and Tang San, so naturally she's yours... Cough, cough! As for that icy Zhu Zhuqing, Boss Dai obviously knows her, so I wouldn't dare provoke her. That leaves just one..."

Xiao Xian closed his eyes again. Under Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's influence, Oscar had become much the same, changing girlfriends frequently.

"You don't have much hope in the short term."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is a Support System Spirit Master sect. Their first criterion for choosing a spouse is that they must be from a combat system. Ning Rongrong in particular is probably the sect master's daughter."

Xiao Xian quietly reminded him.

Oscar might not have such good luck in this life. Without a capable combat-system wife to support him, he might die miserably. And how could he possibly become a Titled Douluo before forty?

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had practically been wiped out...

Oscar froze at once, then an exaggerated bitter smile appeared on his face. "No way, Brother Xian. Don't mess with me!"

"Did you fall for Ning Rongrong too...?!"

Xiao Xian rolled his eyes at him. "Who wouldn't like a beautiful, rich girl? But I doubt I could handle her."

For a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to marry the future sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Unless Ning Fengzhi had lost his mind, he would never agree.

At that thought, Xiao Xian suddenly felt a few traces of urgency.

If he remembered correctly, after learning that Tang San had Twin Martial Souls, the Titled Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had considered assassinating him.

If Spirit Hall had not been such a threat in the shadows, and Ning Fengzhi had not feared damaging the relationship among the Upper Three Sects, he might have ordered him to act.

Xiao Xian considered himself less talented than Tang San, whose Twin Martial Souls were rare in the world. But if his plans went smoothly... sooner or later, he too would become a thorn in many people's sides.

Shrek alone probably won't be enough to protect me...

Xiao Xian sighed inwardly.

Master would likely still be determined to have them participate in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.

Without relying on Shrek, it would be difficult for him to reach that Medicine Garden and equally difficult to hunt down a suitable Fourth Ring.

Oscar lay on his bed, looking lifeless. He no longer felt like shaving his beard.

Xiao Xian's words were cold but realistic.

As long as a Support System Spirit Master had any sense, they truly would not choose another Support System Spirit Master.

But if he only wanted to win her over and have some fun...

Oscar decisively sank into despair.

The sect master's daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Abandoning her after playing around? Even if he had a hundred times the courage, he would not dare.

The night gradually deepened.

Xiao Xian abruptly opened his eyes and looked out the window.

He heard Zhao Wuji crashing through the window.

That made sense. Even at a small place like Nuoding Academy, Tang Hao had shown himself to support Tang San.

Let alone a place like Shrek, packed with advanced Spirit Masters.
