However, aside from Zhao Wuji, none of the four examinees showed much interest in the sausages Oscar made.
There was no need to mention Ning Rongrong. She had only expended some Soul Power, and as an auxiliary-system Soul Master herself, she could simply buff herself and recover quickly. She had no need for Oscar's sausages at all. (The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's auxiliary soul skills could be used on herself. In the original work, Ning Rongrong had used them on herself before.)
Although Xiao Wu and Tang San had both suffered injuries to some extent, they clearly found Oscar's Big Sausage psychologically difficult to accept.
As for Zhu Zhuqing, who had been injured the most severely, although the young girl's injuries were serious, she likewise could not accept Oscar's earlier soul chant. Naturally, she had no interest whatsoever in the sausages Oscar made.
After pondering for a moment, Li Ang suddenly said to Zhu Zhuqing, "Disciple, the sausages that kid makes with his martial soul are quite good. They'll help your injuries too. You can give them a try."
To be honest, Oscar's talent had indeed left Li Ang somewhat amazed.
Food Department Soul Masters were already rare on Douluo Dalu, and Food Department Soul Masters whose martial souls were meat-based were even rarer.
Moreover, Oscar possessed innately full Soul Power. Even across all of Douluo Dalu, such talent could be considered top-tier.
There were quite a few Food Department Soul Masters in Li Ang's Black Beast Mercenary Group. Countless ones were stronger than Oscar, including several Food Department Soul Sages.
Yet not a single one possessed talent comparable to Oscar's. With Oscar's talent, even if he simply cultivated step by step, there was a strong possibility that he would become a Food Department Titled Douluo in the future.
As for Oscar's somewhat vulgar soul chant, Li Ang did not think it was a big deal at all. In a life-or-death crisis, who would care about something like that?
Li Ang had always been a pragmatist. As long as something could save a life, it was a good thing.
However, Zhu Zhuqing, who had little experience in the world, clearly still could not get past that psychological hurdle. Even after hearing Li Ang's words, her expression remained hesitant. "But, Teacher, just now..."
"There are no buts." Before Zhu Zhuqing could finish, Li Ang cut her off. "Disciple, remember this: in a real battle, being precious and hesitating will only make you die faster."
"If you want to become stronger, then you should accept anything that benefits you. It's only a soul chant. What's there to care about?" Li Ang said bluntly.
Zhu Zhuqing was a rather obedient girl, especially now that she was desperate to become stronger.
Thus, after being lectured by Li Ang, Zhu Zhuqing tried her best to suppress the discomfort in her heart. She stepped forward and said expressionlessly to Oscar, "That... give me one of those sausages!"
Oscar: ???
Oscar truly had not expected that someone among the new students would be able to accept his sausages.
Actually, Oscar himself thought his soul chant was rather vulgar, but there was nothing he could do. The soul chant was determined by his martial soul, and he could not change it at all.
Thus, Oscar froze on the spot. Of course, Oscar was not the only one stunned; everyone present wore complicated expressions as they looked at Zhu Zhuqing.
She was ruthless. Not only toward her enemies, but toward herself as well.
Dai Mubai in particular panicked when he saw Zhu Zhuqing take a sausage from Oscar and begin eating it without hesitation.
After all, when he had first learned the strange details of Oscar's martial soul, he had needed to put in tremendous effort to overcome his own discomfort.
Yet Zhu Zhuqing did not care in the slightest. She ate one sausage after another, even eating more than Zhao Wuji.
How ruthless did someone have to be to do that?
If a person could be this ruthless toward herself, then if she turned that ruthlessness on him...
At that moment, Dai Mubai felt immensely fortunate that the Star Luo Empire required him and Zhu Zhuqing to participate in the Throne Seizing Battle together. Otherwise, he truly suspected that the first thing Zhu Zhuqing would have done upon arriving in Suotuo City would have been to kill him.
Oh, no. She had actually already tried. He had merely been lucky enough not to die.
Thinking of this, Dai Mubai's already ugly expression immediately became even uglier.
Question: What was it like to have a fiancée who constantly wanted to kill you and genuinely had the ability to do so? Waiting online for answers. Urgent!
Zhao Wuji, on the other hand, looked increasingly pleased as he watched Zhu Zhuqing.
Although it was humiliating to be beaten into the ground by several students in their twenties and thirties, Zhu Zhuqing's performance left Zhao Wuji extremely satisfied.
For Shrek Academy, which was desperate to turn things around, Zhu Zhuqing had an excellent background, astonishing talent, a desire to become stronger, and was not spoiled at all. A student like this was simply perfect. She did not even need much teaching from the academy to be destined for greatness. On Douluo Dalu, she was unquestionably a top student!
The more Zhao Wuji thought about it, the more satisfied he became. He no longer cared so much about the embarrassment he had just suffered and said, "Children, you've all performed well, especially Zhu Zhuqing. Tang San did well too."
As he spoke, Zhao Wuji could not resist smacking Dai Mubai on the head beside him and scolding, "Look at them, then look at yourself. You've grown so big for nothing. How embarrassing!"
Dai Mubai: ???
Dai Mubai clutched his head, looking utterly wronged. What did this have to do with him? Besides, hadn't Zhao Wuji been beaten up by Zhu Zhuqing too?
Wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?
Naturally, Dai Mubai did not dare say that in front of Zhao Wuji. He was not stupid. If he actually voiced what he was thinking, wouldn't Zhao Wuji, enraged from humiliation, kill him?
"What are you standing around for? Hurry up and arrange lodging for the four new students. The academy officially opens tomorrow." The more Zhao Wuji looked at Dai Mubai, the more displeased he became, and he kicked him again.
Only then did he turn around, forcing a smile onto his face as he said, "All right, children. Congratulations, you've been admitted to Shrek Academy."
After saying that, Zhao Wuji hurriedly left the training grounds. He had no choice; after all, he had been beaten rather badly earlier.
"Everyone, follow me." Dai Mubai looked as though life had lost all meaning.
Zhao Wuji had run off, leaving the task of settling in the new students entirely in his hands.
The more Dai Mubai thought about it, the more aggrieved and furious he became.
Wasn't he just too unlucky? He had volunteered to help out at the academy, only to nearly lose his life.
And Zhao Wuji had even looked down on him. That was far too unreasonable!
Of course, although he was unhappy, Dai Mubai did not dare disobey Zhao Wuji's orders. He could only obediently lead the group of new students toward Shrek Academy's dormitories.
