Tang San Returns, Yu Xiaogang Arrives

Because of Oscar's tolerance towards her, Xiao Wu became even more serious about her training afterward. Even though Tang San was not around, she seemed to feel an unprecedented warmth from the Shrek Academy and from Oscar.

Whether it was her imagination or not, for the first time, she felt a sense of oppression that she didn't have to constantly be on edge around people other than her "family" and Tang San.

Normally, with Tang San around, she would act arrogantly and domineeringly, but this time Oscar exposed her identity, making her feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Fortunately, Oscar was different. He didn't have any prejudice against her. Instead, he chose to keep it a secret for her and protect her, allowing her to feel warmth again.

Of course, this is also Oscar's true feeling towards her. After all, Oscar doesn't really have many feelings for Xiao Wu right now, and protecting her is a genuine desire.

How to use her identity in the future is a matter for later; the feelings I have now are genuine.

Under the training program designed by Oscar, the Shrek Academy students are working harder, but their strength is genuinely improving.

Among them, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing are the ones who feel the most deeply. Now, they are at level 39 and 29 respectively, and their improvement is much greater than when they first arrived.

It was already afternoon, and Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu were waiting solemnly by a stream, with Oscar standing beside them with a stern expression.

And Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu weren't the only ones in this situation. At the same time, on the Spirit Dueling Platform, Dugu Yan, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun were in the same predicament, with Oscar watching over them with an imposing expression.

In Zhao Wuji's courtyard, Ning Rongrong was also being supervised by an Oscar, but Zhao Wuji was not there. Instead, it was Oscar's clone who had consumed Copy Sausage made from Zhao Wuji's blood and was using Zhao Wuji's place to train Ning Rongrong.

Oscar can now multitask as easily as eating and drinking, so group teaching is no challenge for him.

While it's important to focus on team training and cohesion, developing each member's individual potential is also an essential step.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu's training focused on the specializations expected of Agile Attack System Soul Master, such as how to perfectly control their Soul Power, concentrate it at a single point for a burst of power, and achieve the ability to walk on water for a short period. This was their training task at this stage.

This can effectively train their coordination and explosive power, which is also a must-have for an Agile Attack System Soul Master.

As for Dugu Yan, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun, they are all Assault System Spirit Master. Although Dugu Yan is Assault System and Control System Soul Master, her Assault System abilities are particularly outstanding due to the evolution of her Martial Soul, so it is understandable that they train together.

Oscar wanted to train them to have perfect combat awareness. As Assault System Spirit Master, the most important thing is combat, and as the elite of the team, they are naturally of paramount importance.

Therefore, Oscar would train them rigorously in combat so that they could develop strategies to deal with any type of Soul Master, so that they would not be helpless when they encountered a type of Soul Master that countered them.

Ning Rongrong's training at this stage is simpler. As Support System Spirit Master, her physical fitness is undoubtedly the worst in the entire team, so Oscar used Zhao Wuji's Third Spirit Ability, Gravity Control, to give Ning Rongrong special training.

Secondly, there's her use of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, her Martial Soul. Although she's only a Support System Spirit Master, with proper training, she can still have some self-defense capabilities by utilizing the pagoda's sturdy nature.

After all, with the enhancement of her Soul Skill, her pagoda also possesses considerable attack power. Although it's not particularly powerful, a sudden blow to Soul Master's head would be difficult for an ordinary person to withstand.

Moreover, although Ning Rongrong felt that the training was very tough, she gritted her teeth and persevered.

Because everyone here is a genius, her status offers no advantage, and coupled with her own pride, she naturally doesn't want to fall behind.

And so, Shrek Academy's grueling training month began, and it quickly spiraled out of control.

After all, Oscar is now in charge at the academy. Since he hasn't said we can rest, no one else, not even his sister-in-law Dugu Yan, will stop. They believe that as long as Oscar hasn't said it's too late, then we haven't reached our limit yet.

Another half month passed quickly. It had been almost a month since Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong entered the academy. On this day, while Dugu Yan and the others were still undergoing special training, Tang San suddenly returned to the academy, accompanied by a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was of medium build, slightly thin, and looked to be around forty or fifty years old. He had short black hair parted in a 3/7 ratio, and his appearance was quite ordinary. He had his hands behind his back and possessed a unique air about him. His eyes held a hint of laziness and decadence as they opened and closed.

However, when he noticed Oscar, a flash of anger crossed his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

Tang San didn't change much, but only Xiao Wu could tell that he, who used to be very close to Grandmaster, now kept a distance of almost a meter from Grandmaster. The two entered the academy one after the other.

Clearly, something must have happened between Tang San and Grandmaster during this period, causing their originally harmonious master-disciple relationship to become somewhat delicate.

Tang San saw Oscar and bowed deeply to him, saying, "Senior Student, I'm back."

When Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang saw this scene, the anger that had been hidden in his eyes rose again. If it were in the past, he would have been very satisfied with Tang San's sensible nature.

But now, seeing this scene filled him with extreme displeasure. His disciple, who should have been treated with such respect, was being treated like this by a mere fourteen-year-old? He, Yu Xiaogang, had dedicated decades to studying Soul Master theory and was revered as Grandmaster. How could his disciple be so easily swayed by a mere teenager, a child who hadn't even fully grown his hair yet? Did he think he could fool his disciple just because he possessed a little theoretical knowledge and some talent? Did he intend to swindle the third genius on the continent with Twin Martial Souls from him?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!! Although Yu Xiaogang was only a Soul Grandmaster, he would never tolerate such humiliation! Therefore, he and Tang San arrived at the Shrek Academy ahead of schedule.

Yu Xiaogang had even decided to get Flender to kick Oscar, that scheming and delinquent student, out of the Shrek Academy. Otherwise, he would never agree Flender let Tang San stay at the Shrek Academy! In Yu Xiaogang's view, Tang San was not only Innate Full Soul Power, but also a genius with Twin Martial Souls. As long as he and Tang San stayed at Shrek, they would definitely be able to fulfill Flender's wish and make Shrek Academy flourish.

After all, if an academy can produce a powerful Soul Master, that is enough to prove the academy's strength.

However, Yu Xiaogang never considered that the reason why his students are so strong is not only because he works hard, but also because their talent is of paramount importance.

Seeing Tang San's actions and observing the subtle changes between Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, Oscar had already understood something.

"Tang San, you're back. It seems you already have your answer." Oscar smiled and helped Tang San up, speaking softly.

Tang San met Oscar's gaze sincerely for a moment, then turned to Yu Xiaogang and introduced him to Oscar: "Senior Student, this is my teacher, Yu Xiaogang."

Oscar looked over upon hearing this, nodded to Yu Xiaogang, and said calmly, "Hello, Oscar."

The introduction was very brief, without any honorifics or unnecessary gestures. In Yu Xiaogang's eyes, Oscar's behavior was completely disrespectful to his elders.

Yu Xiaogang was an arrogant man, and he replied indifferently, "The Little San has already told me what happened. I'm here now for you."

Oscar nodded upon hearing this. "I understand. Please wait a moment. My students are training right now, and their time is precious and cannot be wasted."

Oscar then turned to Tang San and said, "Tang San, why don't you take your teacher to the cafeteria and get something to eat first? I'll be there to find you soon."

Tang San nodded upon hearing this, without refuting it.

In fact, if it were before, if someone dared to treat his teacher like that, he might not have lost his temper on the spot, but he might have shown his dissatisfaction.

But now, no one knows what Tang San is thinking; all they see is that he not only responded to Oscar but also left with Yu Xiaogang.

Although Yu Xiaogang was somewhat dissatisfied with Oscar's actions, he didn't argue, because he was indeed hungry...

On the way to the cafeteria with Tang San, Yu Xiaogang asked Tang San, "Little San, where is Flender, the dean of this academy? Why didn't I see him? Also, why is it a student giving instruction? Where are the teachers in the academy?"

As he asked the question, Yu Xiaogang muttered with some dissatisfaction, "Although Flender may not have much teaching experience, he has at least broken through to the Soul Douluo level. He should be able to recruit a few decent teachers, right?"

"It seems I made the right decision to come this time. After all, what can a student possibly teach you?"

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San frowned, but after all, he was his teacher who had taught him for six years, so Tang San did not refute anything. Instead, he replied, "Teacher, although I only stayed at the academy for one day before, this Shrek Academy is not as bad as you are saying now."

"After all, you recommended this academy to me in the first place because you thought it would offer me a different kind of education, right?"

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Yu Xiaogang replied, "The teacher is only teaching one student; how good can it be? I think Flender is really confused. I'll go find him myself later..."

Before Yu Xiaogang could finish speaking, Tang San interrupted him, "Teacher, it seems you don't fully understand Dean Flender either. Although I only stayed at the academy for a day, Senior Student Oscar is definitely more than you think."

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, the students you just saw had Soul Power Level ranging from level 26 to 49. And my Senior Student is only fourteen years old, yet his Soul Power Level has reached a terrifying level 47."

"In terms of both ability and knowledge, he is now qualified to be a mentor."

In fact, Tang San originally did not intend to tell Yu Xiaogang these things, because when he realized that Yu Xiaogang's talent was not as good as Oscar's, he planned to only talk to Yu Xiaogang about his cultivation.

Tang San didn't reveal a single word to Yu Xiaogang along the way, because he was afraid that his teacher would be too afraid to come and argue with Oscar in person.

Now, for some reason, his teacher started to belittle him as soon as he entered the academy, and kept bringing up his relationship with Dean Flender. Even though this was his teacher, Tang San felt a little unfamiliar with him.

The reason Yu Xiaogang did this was not only to express his dissatisfaction with Tang San these days, but also because he genuinely looked down on Oscar.

However, upon hearing Oscar's words, Yu Xiaogang froze on the spot, and after a moment, he exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible! Level 47 at fourteen years old, this is absolutely impossible! Even the youngest Titled Douluo back then could not possibly possess such talent! Do you know what this means?"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's excited reaction and hearing Yu Xiaogang words, Oscar's image in Tang San's mind actually became even more impressive.

Even the teacher thought it was impossible, so just how terrifying was this Senior Student's talent? "Teacher, you should know that I wouldn't speak without reason, and I have no reason to deceive you," Tang San replied very seriously.

Looking at Tang San's serious expression, Yu Xiaogang also began to ponder. Even though he had read countless books and heard many legends of gifted individuals in the Spirit Master World, no Soul Master had ever been close to the Spirit King level by the age of fourteen.

Is it really possible for someone to have this level of talent?

Tang San continued, "It is precisely because of his Senior Student that I believe what he said is true; otherwise, why would I dare to come to you?"

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang glared at Tang San: "Little San, you are still young. There are many things in this world that you don't know. Just think about it. With your talent, reaching level 29 at the age of twelve is already extremely rare. If Oscar is as knowledgeable as you say, where would he find the time to balance studying and cultivation at the same time?"

"Although I have no hope of breaking through level 30 in my lifetime, I have spent most of my life studying the theory of Soul Master, which is why I have achieved what I have today. Oscar, a fourteen-year-old child, has not only reached a cultivation level close to that of Spirit King, but also has knowledge that is no less than what I have studied for half a lifetime. Do you think that is possible?"

Yu Xiaogang seemed to have found the best rebuttal and got more and more excited as he spoke, "Little San, you are a smart person. Think about it, even if you don't have such talent, how could Oscar have it? You must not be bewitched by him and affect our master-disciple relationship."

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San didn't agree. Instead, he thought of Oscar's words, "Some people are born this way, humble and ignorant, yet they think of using outsiders to climb up to them. Tang San, you are a smart person, don't let your emotions take advantage of you..."

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's appearance at this moment, Tang San found it hard to believe that this was the teacher he had respected for six years.

He knew he was indeed ignorant, but how could he have been misled by such a person for six years? Even if Tang San knew that Yu Xiaogang had indeed shown him kindness, Yu Xiaogang was also the one who ruined his future.

At this point, Tang San, who had basically understood, was somewhat conflicted, but he couldn't find the words to express it.

After a long silence, Tang San made a decision in his heart, and then slowly said, "Teacher, let's go to the cafeteria to get something to eat first, and then we can talk to the Senior Student about any problems in person later."
