Tang San's Identity?
Oscar and Dugu Yan remained stationed at the fourth level. Bored, they started playing chess, but they didn't notice that in the distance, a tall figure in a black robe was watching them from afar.
"Shrek... Is this what they call Monster Academy? Fourteen years old, level 47; fifteen years old, level 39... Even I back then might not have been able to catch up with the talent of these kids, right?" The black-robed figure murmured in the shadows.
"It seems the Grandmaster has indeed paved the way for Little San. Studying with geniuses of this caliber will undoubtedly be a great help to Little San in the future. If Little San has the ability to tame these little ones..."
"Heh, Little San, I hope you won't disgrace the Clear Sky Sect..."
After a long silence, the black-robed figure murmured again, "With the Breath Concealing Grass left behind by Ah Yin, even if Flender and Zhao Wuji break through to the Soul Douluo realm, Xiao Wu's identity won't be exposed. Little San and the others should be able to learn a lot here. It's time for me to do that thing..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dark figure vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.
Dai Mubai escorted Tang San to his dormitory, telling him a lot about Oscar and the other people at the Shrek Academy along the way, but he kept quiet about the secrets.
After all, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong have only just joined Shrek Academy and are still in the probationary stage. Shrek Academy's secrets cannot be exposed so easily.
After arriving at his dormitory, Tang San stopped thinking about it and began meditating to restore his Soul Power.
By afternoon, the day's enrollment was almost over, and Tang San and the others had mostly recovered. Xiao Wu, after consuming Oscar's Super Recovery Great Sausage, had also recovered significantly. They only needed two more days of rest, and they would be fine.
So in the afternoon, Oscar took them to the cafeteria. Although Shrek Academy's facilities are not luxurious, apart from the Simulated Training Ground, the other facilities are quite complete.
The group arrived at the cafeteria. Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong had just enrolled and were still relatively unfamiliar with everyone, but they were not intimidated at all.
Tang San is a reborn adult soul, which allows him to remain calm in the face of adversity. Xiao Wu, on the other hand, has a bit of a tough personality, and having been the Eldest Sister of the Nuoding Academy for six years, she can communicate normally even with super geniuses like Oscar.
Ning Rongrong was born into Upper Three Sects and was the darling of the sect leader. She usually played with Titled Douluo. Although she was amazed by the talent and strength of the Shrek Academy students, she did not find them difficult to get along with.
Moreover, thanks to Oscar's leadership, the students at the Shrek Academy are now quite well-behaved, without the bad habits from the original story, making them get along much better.
On their way to the cafeteria, Tang San and Xiao Wu couldn't help but whisper to each other.
Ning Rongrong, in particular, went straight up to Oscar and started chatting with him after seeing Oscar.
"Senior Student, I heard from Senior Zhuqing that you're the top student in our academy! Everyone trains with you!" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but ask, "How did you manage to do that? I've never met a genius like you in my family!"
As she spoke, Ning Rongrong looked at Dugu Yan: "Especially senior sister! Senior sister Zhuqing said that your Soul Power has already reached level forty-nine, and you are only one step away from breaking through to Spirit King..."
Listening to Ning Rongrong's rambling on, Oscar and Dugu Yan exchanged a glance. Before they could answer, Ma Hongjun explained from the side:
"Junior, it's too early for you to be surprised. You'll need to get used to it more in the future."
As Ma Hongjun spoke, he couldn't help but ask, "But you have quite the eye for talent. A direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you still managed to travel thousands of miles to study at our Shrek Academy!"
Ning Rongrong smiled upon hearing this, "I ran away from home because I felt too stifled there. I thought I'd try to get away and explore. Now it seems I made the right decision."
Hearing this, Oscar laughed and said, "Hehe, I didn't realize that the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had such a unique personality."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong didn't think much of it at first, and even felt a little happy to be praised by Oscar, but she immediately realized that something was wrong.
"How... how did you know?" Ning Rongrong asked in surprise, "I didn't even tell you my identity..."
Oscar explained, "Running away from home with three Soul Saint experts secretly following her, I think besides Sect Master Ning's beloved daughter, there shouldn't be anyone else, right?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong instantly understood, although she didn't know how Senior Student Oscar had learned that she was being secretly followed by the Soul Saint.
However, Ning Rongrong was certain that her carefully planned runaway had been discovered by her father and the others.
But thinking about it, it makes sense Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone love her so much, they would definitely look for her if they found out she was missing.
However, since her father knew her whereabouts but didn't take her back, it meant they had already agreed, so she didn't feel guilty anymore...
Dugu Yan chuckled from the side, "It seems our junior Ning Rongrong's identity is quite extraordinary!"
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong said somewhat embarrassedly, "Senior, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but one's identity is predetermined, isn't it? There's no need to go around telling everyone..."
Hearing Ning Rongrong's explanation, and after spending so much time together, Oscar realized that Ning Rongrong didn't seem to be the witch she was in the original story.
Is it because the other Shrek Seven Devils in the original story were inherently bad? Is that why Ning Rongrong turned out like that? Under Oscar's positive guidance, the current Shrek students, while not exactly perfect, are at least considered model students.
But then again, Ning Rongrong was born into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and was the sect leader's darling, so how could her education be lacking? In the original story, it was because Flender belittled Ning Rongrong and constantly used extreme language to provoke the little princess, and she had never experienced anything like that before. It's normal for her to have an outburst.
Later, Ning Rongrong changed, didn't she? So, you can't just look at one side of things; you have to experience them firsthand.
So after hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Oscar said with a hint of self-deprecation, "It seems that none of you have simple backgrounds. Only Hongjun and I are genuinely without background or power."
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun nodded in agreement with his leader, "That's right, but don't forget us after you've become classmates!"
Hearing the two brothers singing in unison, Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing curled their lip and said, "You call yourselves powerless and without influence?"
Zhu Zhuqing went even further, saying, "Some people have already won over the sister-in-law and even accepted the title of godfather, yet they still claim to have no power or influence!"
Upon hearing this, Oscar was speechless, thinking to himself, "Isn't this just a joke about Ning Rongrong? Why are you two getting involved?"
However, Ma Hongjun didn't care and replied, "Then I'll be all alone. The eldest brother has a godfather and a sister-in-law, but I have nothing."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan couldn't help but give Ma Hongjun a light kick. "You little brat, you have nothing? You're always on the same side as your older brother, what's his is yours, isn't it?"
Despite being kicked by Dugu Yan, Ma Hongjun shifted his position without any apparent harm. Hearing Dugu Yan's words, Ma Hongjun chuckled, "Sister-in-law is right! Sister-in-law is right!"
But Oscar wasn't having it, raising an eyebrow. "What a load of rubbish! Your sister-in-law is my girlfriend, but she's just your sister-in-law!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's face flushed red, and she couldn't help but punch Oscar. Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing to the side, also couldn't help but laugh.
There are even people who are jealous of their own brothers? Ning Rongrong felt the atmosphere among the Senior Student students and realized that this was probably what she had been dreaming of.
Tang San couldn't help but say, "Senior Student, if we calculate it that way, Xiao Wu and I are truly powerless and without influence."
Upon hearing Tang San's words, Oscar turned his head and looked at him. "Oh? Is that so?"
Upon hearing Oscar's questioning words, Tang San paused for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "Isn't that right?"
"Do I have some special background? I was just born in a remote village, the son of a blacksmith."
Upon hearing this, Oscar simply smiled, because at this stage, Tang San truly did not know his identity, and even more disgustingly, he did not know that his Martial Soul was the Clear Sky Hammer.
Actually, this is a plot hole in the original work. Wasn't the Grandmaster supposed to be Grandmaster of theory? He taught Tang San for six years, so didn't Tang San ever have any doubts about his Second Martial Soul? In the original work, Tang San didn't look up information about his Second Martial Soul for more than six years. Instead, he went to Heaven Dou City, where he was recognized by Tai Tan, the patriarch of the Strength Clan, and only then was he told everything.
To be honest, this is... toxic!
Tang San isn't a child; he's a reincarnated individual. And yet, he's still so curious about his mysterious father, not even bothering to investigate after learning he possesses Twin Martial Souls? But it doesn't matter; Oscar doesn't care about any of that, because he'll take action.
However, Oscar won't reveal it now, because since Tang San doesn't want to expose his Second Martial Soul, Oscar doesn't need to say it in front of everyone. He can just ask him privately at a later time.
After all, as Senior Student and the head of the college, it's only right that he cares about his juniors.
The group arrived at the cafeteria, where Shao Xin had already prepared hot meals. When Tang San and Xiao Wu saw the precious ingredients, they were both incredulous. How could the academy serve such good food?
Even Ning Rongrong couldn't help but be slightly surprised when she saw those rare Soul Beast ingredients, because each meal of this level cost at least a hundred Gold Soul Coin.
It's no wonder that this academy is full of geniuses, given that an academy spends so much on food.
Seeing the three new recruits, Shao Xin couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Ao, are there new students again this year?"
Oscar replied, "Yes, Teacher Shao, those three are quite talented. This year probably has the most new students ever. You'll have to work even harder in the future."
Hearing this, Shao Xin chuckled, his chubby round face beaming with a smile, looking very kind and approachable. "Hehe, no trouble at all. The academy is so fortunate to have a group of little geniuses like you; I'd love to cook delicious meals for you every day."
Hearing this, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong were also very happy, thinking that this teacher was simply wonderful.
During the meal, Oscar introduced Tang San and the other two to Shao Xin. When the three of them learned that Shao Xin was actually a Food System Soul Saint, they all looked surprised.
As everyone knows, Food System Soul Master are the most difficult to cultivate. Shao Xin is only fifty years old and has already reached the Soul Saint level. His achievements are among the best of Food System Soul Master.
However, Oscar is an exception, because he is a prodigy. Although he is a Food System Soul Master, his cultivation speed is even more terrifying than that of Assault System Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power.
Tang San and Xiao Wu, both Innate Full Soul Power, are worlds apart from Oscar.
During the meal, Oscar introduced the academy to them, and Ma Hongjun Dugu Yan also introduced themselves.
However, after hearing their explanations in person, Tang San and the other two all felt a sense of unreality, especially Ma Hongjun and Dugu Yan. One of them reached level 45 at the age of twelve, which was even more terrifying than Oscar.
Although Dugu Yan was eighteen years old, she had already reached a terrifying level of forty-nine.
In fact, with their strength, they were already capable of graduating from the academy. The reason they hadn't graduated yet was that they wanted to participate in the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament two years later, so as not to leave any regrets in their lives!
Of course, during the introduction, Tang San and his two companions focused their attention on Oscar, because even Ma Hongjun, who seemed to have more talent, was completely obedient to Oscar.
Moreover, when it comes to talent, Oscar is actually stronger because he is Food System Soul Master, Food System Soul Master have a greater innate difficulty in cultivation.
Oscar still reached level 47 at the age of fourteen, which is unacceptable to anyone.
However, Oscar didn't reveal his background directly. Instead, he said, "You've just entered the academy today, and we'll have a long time to get to know each other. You'll have plenty of time to understand me in the future, so I won't go into too much detail now, lest you be intimidated."
Hearing Oscar's words, Tang San and the others wisely refrained from asking any further questions. After all, they had only just met and were not yet familiar with each other, so there was no need for Oscar to reveal his secrets to them!
After the meal, Dai Mubai and the others took Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong for a walk to familiarize themselves with the academy, while Oscar took Tang San away alone.
Tang San was somewhat confused as to why Senior Student Oscar had kept him behind alone, but he didn't refuse, because he also wanted to learn more about this genius and hoped to gain some experience.
For example... he is Food System Soul Master who possesses the powerful combat strength of Assault System Spirit Master.
If that's the case, then even though his Blue Silver Grass is Trash Spirit, it's still more suitable for fighting than Sausage, right?
It was because of this thought that Tang San became even more certain of his teacher Yu Xiaogang's words, "There are no useless Martial Soul, only useless Soul Master!"
"What the teacher said is indeed true; true strength is not limited by the constraints of one's own Martial Soul," Tang San thought to himself...
Of course, Tang San will soon realize how ridiculous his ideas were, and what a joke his teacher Yu Xiaogang really was...
Tang San followed Oscar around the academy. When the two arrived at the forest on the edge of the village, Oscar stopped, turned to look at Tang San, and asked with a deep gaze, "Tang San, do you really not know your own identity?"
