Talent Exposed, Qian Renxue's Choice

Ning Fengzhi simply smiled after being teased by the two children working together, without any intention of blaming them.

These two are juniors he highly values, and it would be a good thing if they could establish a good friendship.

The three of them went to a private room and ordered a copy of all the restaurant's menu items.

Oscar had already tried all the food at Lingyu Restaurant, but although the initial novelty had worn off, the taste still made Oscar want to come back again and again.

As the three enjoyed their meal at the table, Ning Fengzhi passed words to Xue Qinghe and Oscar.

After praising Oscar to Xue Qinghe, he then told Oscar about Xue Qinghe's Wisdom and foresight.

Xue Qinghe and Oscar each had their own ulterior motives, and they soon became acquainted.

The meal lasted for two hours. Xue Qinghe became increasingly interested in Oscar, while Oscar made full use of his language skills and good looks to leave a good impression on Xue Qinghe as much as possible. He also left a message so that Xue Qinghe would take the initiative to contact him later.

After chatting for a while and finishing his meal, Oscar stood up and said, "Uncle Ning, Brother Xue, it's getting late. I need to go back to the academy to assign them their tasks and familiarize them with tomorrow's opponents. We can talk again another time. I'll be leaving now."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe glanced at Ning Fengzhi, Ning Fengzhi simply maintained his smile and didn't say anything more.

Xue Qinghe looked at Oscar and smiled, took out a gold medal from his arms and handed it over. The gold medal is simple in style, but it contains a special energy flow. A lifelike golden swan is engraved on the reverse, and the word "Tai" is engraved on the front.

Xue Qinghe handed the gold medal to Oscar and smiled, "Since that's the case, I won't keep you any longer. Take this medal; if you ever need anything, feel free to bring it to the Imperial Palace to find me."

Looking at the gold medal in front of him, Oscar hesitated deliberately for a moment. Seeing Oscar's hesitation Ning Fengzhi stood up and smiled, "Qinghe has no other intentions, so you can take it. This medal is just Qinghe's personal symbol and has no other purpose."

Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Oscar was very satisfied with Ning Fengzhi's assistance. He bowed slightly and accepted the heavy gold medal with both hands.

Oscar smiled in response, "Then Oscar thanks Brother Xue for his kindness. I will definitely visit you at the palace when I have time."

Afterwards, Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe personally escorted Oscar to the entrance of the restaurant. Oscar bid farewell to the two of them and then left.

Watching Oscar's departing figure, Xue Qinghe whispered in Ning Fengzhi's ear, "Teacher, this Oscar is no ordinary person. Whether it is his speech and behavior or his knowledge, he completely surpasses a child who is only a teenager. The Young Sect Master of the Sword Sect is indeed extraordinary."

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, "Back then, I had the same thoughts as you. We were both born into prominent families, but when we were teenagers, we were far inferior to Oscar."

"He's only sixteen years old. Do you know what Soul Power Level is?"

Xue Qinghe shook his head. He and Oscar hadn't asked about cultivation levels just now, since they had only met for the first time and it would have been inappropriate to ask such a private question right away.

Moreover, Xue Qinghe planned to investigate later, so he didn't ask.

Seeing Xue Qinghe's cigarette butt, Ning Fengzhi slowly said, "Level 55, that was only the level six months ago."

Upon hearing this "uncle, "Xue Qinghe was first taken aback, then looked incredulously at Oscar had already disappeared into the street.

After a long silence, Xue Qinghe looked at Ning Fengzhi in disbelief and said, "Sixteen years old, level fifty-five?! Reaching Spirit King at such a young age?! How is that possible?!"

Ning Fengzhi smiled as he looked at his disciple's shocked expression. When he heard Oscar's Soul Power Level, he realized that Ning Fengzhi, who had witnessed the rise of countless geniuses, was not much better than Xue Qinghe.

For Xue Qinghe, this news was undoubtedly explosive.

Aside from his grandfather, his "sister," and a few other high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall who knew the truth, Xue Qinghe's true identity remained unknown.

Her real name is Qian Renxue. She is the daughter of the former Pope Qian Xunji. Her grandfather is Qian Daoliu, one of the three great masters of the continent, known as the invincible Angel Douluo in the sky and the Great Enshrined the Worship Hall Qian Daoliu.

When Qian Renxue Awakened Spirit, it was God-Tier Martial Soul: the Six-winged Angel, and her Innate Soul Power reached a terrifying level of twenty.

Most importantly, Qian Renxue's First Spirit Ring was 600 years old, the Second Spirit Ring was 900 years old, the Third Spirit Ring was 3,000 years old, the Fourth Spirit Ring was 9,000 years old, the Fifth Spirit Ring was 20,000 years old, and the Sixth Spirit Ring was 50,000 years old.

If we follow the approximate limits of Soul Ring absorption as currently registered and compiled by the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue has definitely achieved absorption beyond her level.

With such a foundation and talent, she had only recently broken through to the Soul Emperor level at the age of twenty. And now, what did she hear? A Spirit King who had reached at least level fifty-five at the age of sixteen had appeared on this continent? In other words, Oscar's talent was already on par with hers? Or even subtly superior? What did Oscar rely on? God-Tier Martial Soul? Or resources and foundation? Qian Renxue was certain that her talent and various resources were already among the best in the entire Douluo Continent, but now someone had appeared whose talent was approaching, or even surpassing, hers?

Even the three most talented Golden Generation in the history of the Spirit Hall are only at the Spirit King level at around twenty years old.

Qian Renxue originally thought that with her talent and the various resources and foundations provided by her grandfather, her future should be bright and promising.

But at this moment, Qian Renxue felt a sense of crisis for the first time.

Although Oscar is the Sword Sect Young Sect Master, Qian Renxue has also investigated this newly emerged Hermit Sect. Although she did not obtain all the information, Qian Renxue, who knows the true strength of the Spirit Hall, knows that no matter how powerful the Sword Sect is, together with the so-called Jade Scale Family, there are at most five or six Titled Douluo. Even if there are a few more, they cannot compare with the Spirit Hall.

His grandfathers were all Super Douluo, and with the addition of several elders from the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall alone had more than ten Titled Douluo.

Moreover, as a sacred place for Soul Master, the Spirit Hall controls resources far beyond what a Hermit Sect can match.

Qian Renxue is not stupid. Her ability to lie low in the Heaven Dou Empire for many years and successfully ascend to the position of Crown Prince is enough to prove her intelligence.

So in just a short while, Qian Renxue figured out that Oscar's talent was at least no less than hers, and might even be greater.

Because in terms of resources and foundation, the Hermit Sect Sword Sect no match for the Spirit Hall behind Qian Renxue. So there is only one possibility for Oscar to reach his current level and strength, and that is talent! "Could it be that the other party also has God-Tier Martial Soul? If not, how could he be comparable to me?" Qian Renxue thought of many things in an instant.

She even considered that the Sword Sect might have produced gods in the past, just like their Qian Clan. The Sword Sect's emergence might be because Oscar had awakened God-Tier Martial Soul and could potentially recreate the glory of their ancestors. Therefore, the Sword Sect was born to provide Oscar with the foundation to become a god.

Just as Qian Renxue was lost in thought, Ning Fengzhi laughed and said, "Don't try to guess. My expression at the time wasn't much different from yours."

"Xiao Ao has Twin Martial Souls. Although he is currently cultivating Food System Martial Soul, he has not neglected his swordsmanship either. He can be considered to be cultivating two paths simultaneously."

"When Uncle Jian discovered Oscar's swordsmanship, he was several times more surprised than you and me."

"A genius of Oscar's caliber might only appear once in ten thousand years."

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Qian Renxue's heart was still in turmoil.

Twin Martial Souls? Upon hearing this term, she immediately thought of her "older sister".

If we calculate it that way, Oscar might not be so terrifying, because Qian Renxue has seen a case of someone successfully cultivating Twin Martial Souls.

According to records, there have been three people with Twin Martial Souls on the Douluo Continent. Two of them perished because they did not cultivate their Twin Martial Souls correctly, and the third was her "older sister".

Qian Renxue knew that the speed at which Twin Martial Souls could increase their Soul Power was much faster than that of ordinary Soul Master, because the owner of Twin Martial Souls could absorb eighteen Soul Ring.

Even so, Oscar's talent might not be much less than hers.

But Qian Renxue still had a question, "Did he add Soul Ring to his Second Martial Soul?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head upon hearing this. "No. If he had attached Soul Ring to his Second Martial Soul, Uncle Jian wouldn't have said that his talent was once in ten thousand years."

Upon hearing this answer, Qian Renxue was certain that Oscar's family, the Sword Sect, might not have produced any deities like her Qian Clan, as she had suspected.

However, one thing is certain: Oscar possesses talent that is no less than that of this super genius who has God-Tier Martial Soul.

For Qian Renxue now, such a genius only presents two choices: either he's one of her own, or...

Ning Fengzhi looked at Xue Qinghe, whose expression was somewhat unnatural, and smiled, "If he didn't have a background, then he could indeed be nipped in the bud. But his background is too great. Even my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might not be able to compare with it."

Ning Fengzhi sighed, "So Qinghe, the reason I told you this information about Xiao Ao is to make you realize his value so that you can befriend him better in the future."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded, agreeing with Ning Fengzhi's words.

With Oscar's talent, she is as important to the Sword Sect as she is to her grandfather and the Spirit Hall.

If something happens to Oscar, then the person who did it will have to bear endless wrath.

The Spirit Hall's plan is currently at a critical juncture, and no accidents can be tolerated.

Moreover, Hu Liena and Ao Yue are also on good terms, so all things considered, for Qian Renxue now, befriending Oscar is the best option.

After all, while their Spirit Hall might not necessarily fear the strength and foundation of the Sword Sect, if they provoked such a powerful enemy, both her and her "sister's" plans would be disrupted.

After a moment of silence, Qian Renxue smiled again, "I understand, teacher. I will make the most of every opportunity to befriend this once-in-a-millennium genius."

Seeing Xue Qinghe regain his confidence and Xiao Song, Ning Fengzhi felt increasingly satisfied with this disciple.

Although Xue Qinghe's talent for cultivation is not particularly outstanding, as a future emperor, political intrigue and the art of ruling are his most important skills.

As the future imperial tutor, Ning Fengzhi genuinely believed in Xue Qinghe, which is why he arranged for him to meet Oscar and went to great lengths to pave the way for him.

However, Ning Fengzhi's good intentions were destined to be in vain, because his most admired disciple was never on his side from the very beginning.

Seeing Xue Qinghe smile again, Ning Fengzhi said seriously, "Qinghe, there's something I must remind you. From my interactions with Xiao Ao over this period of time, if you really want his help in the future, then never try to recruit him or bribe him with so-called power and money. Instead, become his true friend."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe met Ning Fengzhi's gaze. After a long while, he slowly nodded and said, "Teacher, I understand. Thank you for your guidance."

In fact, Qian Renxue also had a teacher-student relationship with Ning Fengzhi, who had taught her for many years, because the original Qian Renxue was not as meticulous as she is now.

Ning Fengzhi truly imparted a great deal of knowledge to her, so in Qian Renxue's heart, unless there were any unresolved issues, she hoped that her teacher could enjoy his later years in peace.

Moreover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support capabilities are indeed top-notch. If I can reach that level in the future, my teacher will still be able to wholeheartedly assist me.

So Qian Renxue can guarantee Ning Fengzhi's eternal fame with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda...

On the other hand, Oscar was naturally unaware of Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe's conversation, but he could guess that, given their current relationship, Ning Fengzhi would most likely share his confidence information with Xue Qinghe.

This was actually part of Oscar's plan. After all, some things were no longer hidden, so why not use them as advantages? From the moment he saw Qian Renxue in the Star Dou Great Forest, Oscar had already thought about this scene. What would Qian Renxue do if his talent was exposed to her?

Actually, it's not hard to figure out. Generally speaking, there are only two outcomes: either recruit them or nip them in the bud.

In the past, Oscar would have been recruited, since he certainly didn't want to die.

But now it's different. He's not alone. He has the Sword Sect and Dugu Bo's Jade Scale Family behind him!

When the strength of both sides reaches a certain balance, no one will choose to fight to the death. Therefore, Oscar could guess what Qian Renxue would do if she knew his talent and strength.

The most likely scenario is that they'll try to befriend her and then do everything they can to get themselves into her camp.

After all, Ao Yue's clone is currently very close to Hu Liena, and Hu Liena is almost being swayed by him. If things go well, Oscar wouldn't mind using Ao Yue's clone as a bargaining chip to capture Hu Liena.

After all, Oscar and Ao Yue are both Sword Sect of the Sword Sect in the eyes of the Spirit Hall. Although Ao Yue is not as good as Oscar, the difference is not much. Once they capture one of them, they will definitely not want to let go of the other and will try every means to capture the other.

Therefore, Oscar is not worried about being exposed to Qian Renxue. In fact, this exposure may bring him unexpected gains and surprises! Even if they make the worst-case scenario plan, and the Spirit Hall wants to fight to the death, they may not be able to find Oscar's true form! Oscar has always sought victory through stability and would never gamble. Otherwise, when he absorbed his Second Spirit Ring, he would definitely have chosen to gamble on a thousand-year-old spirit ring.

While being cautious can indeed make one lose some passion and drive, if one is cautious to the extreme and calculates all outcomes and unexpected events to perfection, then the final result will definitely be under control.

Oscar enjoys the feeling of being in control of everything, and only in this way does he feel truly secure.

By the time Oscar arrived at Dugu Yan's private dining room, they had already finalized their tactics.

When Oscar returned to the Great Soul Arena's rest room that evening, he drew lots to determine his opponent for the second round. Just like in the original story, his opponent for the second round was the Elephant Armored Sect, one of the Lower Four Sects.

Tomorrow, the Shrek Team and the Elephant Armored Academy Team will play the first match of the second round. After dinner tonight, Oscar handed over the decision-making and planning to Tang San.

Now that Dugu Yan isn't making a move, Tang San is the only Control System Spirit Master in the team, so he must have the ability to completely control the entire situation.

Over the years, Oscar has provided a lot of training for Tang San in this area. In addition, his Blue Silver Grass Spirit has evolved into the Blue Silver King, and he is now an excellent Control System Spirit Master.
