Xiao Tian thought to himself that Ning Fengzhi might be willing to nurture him, but probably not with much effort. After all, Ning Fengzhi had no idea what Xiao Tian's future attitude toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be.
Unless he was as utterly loyal to the sect as Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, it would probably still be difficult.
Of course, there was another exception: he could marry into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and bind himself to it completely.
Xiao Tian felt that Ning Fengzhi would most likely choose that option if Ning Rongrong showed even the slightest bit of interest in him.
It was not that Xiao Tian was narcissistic. He thought he was fairly good-looking, and his first three Soul Rings were all thousand-year ones. Even if his Innate Soul Power was not high, outsiders would see that he had accelerated the growth of his Soul Power through Sword Intent. That was no longer a disadvantage.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, becoming a Titled Douluo in the future was practically guaranteed.
And with Jian Daochen Xin, the strongest attack-type Douluo in the world, there to back him up, it was hard not to imagine that Ning Fengzhi might consider having him marry into the sect.
Ding! Does the host truly have no thoughts about Nine-Colored Goddess Ning Rongrong? She has both beauty and wealth; she is a bona fide rich and beautiful girl. Does the host not want to snatch her away from Food God Oscar?
Hehehe, just thinking about it is exciting. But Tongzi must remind you that although Oscar is the Food God, he possesses the god-level Soul Skill Copy Mirror Sausage. He can even copy God King Tang San's Martial Soul and divine skills. You must not court death!
Xiao Tian: ???
"System, why do I feel like you are not worried at all now? You even seem to want to watch the drama unfold?"
Ding! The host is mistaken. This system is not that kind of Tongzi. Host, you would not want your Critical Strike Reward to leave you, would you?
Xiao Tian: ...System, you really have learned bad habits.
Xiao Tian was somewhat puzzled. It had only been a few days, yet why had the system changed its attitude so much? Had it encountered too many "Deities," so it had simply given up and started slacking off?
Seeing Ning Rongrong being so enthusiastic toward Xiao Tian, Oscar immediately felt somewhat disgruntled.
Moreover, he believed that Xiao Tian was already so close to Xiao Wu that he should not have any other thoughts about Ning Rongrong, right?
After all, Ning Rongrong currently had the worst figure among the three girls.
Oscar immediately felt depressed, though he did not show it on his face. He then smiled at Ning Rongrong and volunteered, "Ning Rongrong, do you think I can join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? You should know about my Martial Soul. Besides, I am the continent's first Food System Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power."
Instead of getting an answer from Xiao Tian, Ning Rongrong got Oscar's eager offer. She frowned and said, "Oscar, what proof do you have that you possess Innate Full Soul Power?
"If you are a commoner, then like Xiao Tian and the others, a Spirit Hall Soul Master should have helped you awaken your Martial Soul for free, right? Also, I thought about it all night yesterday. Even if the food system is the hardest of all categories to cultivate, why are you only just level thirty at fourteen?"
The two questions Ning Rongrong raised were both extremely sharp.
Yesterday, when she heard Flender introduce Oscar as having Innate Full Soul Power, she had indeed been greatly shocked. Even she only had Innate Soul Power at level nine, and that already made her the most talented person in the sect's history.
She knew that due to the inherited flaws of her sect's Martial Soul, it was impossible for them to reach Innate Full Soul Power. Innate Soul Power at level nine was already the limit. Even her father's Innate Soul Power had only been close to level nine!
This was also the source of her pride. Soul Masters with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul differed from other Soul Masters. With the sect's support, as long as their Innate Soul Power was above level six, generally speaking, reaching level seventy-nine was not a problem before they died.
This meant that the only advantage of higher Innate Soul Power for them was faster cultivation in the early stages, allowing them to rise more quickly.
Even so, Ning Fengzhi had been extremely delighted. He and the two Titled Douluo had cherished Ning Rongrong dearly, afraid that she might suffer even the slightest grievance. That was what had cultivated her Little Witch personality, though her nature was not actually bad.
Furthermore, because Xiao Tian had left too great an impression on Ning Rongrong yesterday, Oscar's Innate Full Soul Power seemed rather ordinary to her. After all, Tang San and Xiao Wu also possessed Innate Full Soul Power.
Had Xiao Tian not crushed them outright?
Without comparison, there was no harm!
Thus, after Ning Rongrong returned to her dormitory yesterday, her mind had actually been extremely clear.
Although Ning Rongrong sometimes acted carefree and giggly, she was still born into a prestigious family. Her intelligence was not low; it could be said that it was the highest among the three girls.
After thinking it over carefully last night, she had become suspicious. First, Flender had said that Oscar possessed Innate Full Soul Power, but there was no proof whatsoever unless Oscar could produce Spirit Hall's record of his awakened Soul Power.
Second, even if a food-system Martial Soul was difficult to cultivate, was reaching level thirty only at fourteen not a little slow?
Although Shrek Academy was so barren and had no Mimicry Cultivation Environment, to be honest, Food System Soul Masters had the lowest requirements for such an environment, practically none at all.
Their method of cultivating Soul Power was simply to continuously make food!
Do not be fooled by Ning Rongrong only being level twenty-six now; she had just turned twelve!
And do not say that Oscar was comparatively lazy. She herself was not very diligent in cultivating her Martial Soul either!
Aside from cultivating Soul Power, she also had to train her body as much as possible through running and other methods while in the sect. In addition, she had to become proficient in the sect's secret technique, Heart Separation Control.
Even when her Soul Rings did not meet the requirements for cultivation, there were still other methods that could assist her, though she admittedly had not been particularly serious about it.
Yet with so many tasks spread out, she was only level twenty-six now. Even so, she was still considered the sect's favored daughter of heaven!
And what about Oscar?
Other than his free time, the only thing Oscar could do at this academy should be cultivation, right?
He was two years older than her, yet his Soul Power was only four levels higher. That was unreasonable!
The Rational Ning Rongrong, the Depressed Oscar!
Xiao Tian looked at Ning Rongrong in surprise. He had not expected her to harbor the same doubts.
Could it be that his appearance had caused a butterfly effect?
Oscar's smile stiffened as well, and he felt a trace of anger at Ning Rongrong's doubts about his strength. "Ning Rongrong, your suspicion is an insult to my character!"
Ning Rongrong shook her head slightly. "Oscar, if you think this is an insult to your character, then I apologize. But I will say this: if you truly want to join a major sect, they will most likely ask you to provide proof as well.
"Also, is there anything wrong with my analysis? I barely cultivated my Soul Power in the sect, yet I still have level twenty-six Soul Power. What about you?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was not quite right, Dai Mubai stepped forward to say a few words for Oscar. "Ning Rongrong, you misunderstand Xiao Ao. At most, Xiao Ao is a little lazy. Coupled with the fact that the food system really is difficult to cultivate, that is why he is only level thirty at this age."
Dai Mubai thought to himself that if Dean Flender had not suddenly started supervising their cultivation half a year ago, Oscar might only be level twenty-nine now.
Seeing Dai Mubai speak up for Oscar, Ning Rongrong did not care much. The reason she was so displeased was that Oscar had suddenly interrupted her invitation to Xiao Tian.
Yes, if Oscar's talent was genuine, then it did make her somewhat interested.
But compared to Xiao Tian's talent and strength, that interest was completely insignificant.
No matter how powerful Oscar's food system was, could it possibly surpass the enhancement provided by their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul?
Ning Rongrong still held some pride in her Martial Soul!
"Ning Rongrong, let us forget about joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for now. At the moment, I do not like being bound by a sect."
Xiao Tian declined tactfully.
Although Ning Rongrong felt a little disappointed, she thought it was understandable. Joining a sect indeed required paying a certain price. Otherwise, why would others spend so much time and resources cultivating you?
There was also another point: Ning Rongrong felt that perhaps her words alone could not make the decision in Xiao Tian's eyes. After all, when recruiting talent, the final decision still rested with her father and her two grandfathers.
Ning Rongrong's eyes rolled around. After some time passed, she could write a letter back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If Grandpa Sword learned that Shrek Academy had a Sword Path genius, he would probably be extremely delighted, right?
Although she had been rejected, Ning Rongrong was in an exceptionally good mood. She had not expected that sneaking out would allow her to discover a genius for the sect. No, not just one—several.
It was not only Xiao Tian. Although Xiao Wu and Tang San were slightly inferior to Xiao Tian, it would still be excellent if they could join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
After Oscar's self-recommendation failed, he looked thoroughly depressed.
Dai Mubai could only pat his back in consolation.
"What are you doing? Let go of me! Fatty, I really cannot take it anymore. We are over."
A plainly dressed woman pleaded tearfully to a fat man wearing red, with red hair and two small mustaches.
"Why? Why do you suddenly want to break up? Is it because I cannot satisfy you?"
Ma Hongjun tightly gripped the woman's hand, refusing to let her leave.
At that moment, Xiao Tian and the others happened to arrive. As soon as they came over, they heard the woman's pleading voice.
"N-No, it is not that. It is just that you want it too often. I cannot endure it anymore. Fatty, you know that I am only an ordinary person. I cannot compare to you Soul Masters. Please let me leave. I am begging you."
Seeing the woman's pitiful expression, another trace of wicked fire rose in Ma Hongjun's body. He looked at her lecherously and said, "Huahua, since we are breaking up, how about we have one last breakup fling?"
The woman's face was full of resistance. She truly could not take it anymore.
But Ma Hongjun was a Soul Master. What could she do?
His large hands gripped her so tightly that it hurt. In the end, even the force of her struggle weakened, because she simply could not resist...
"You bastard! You lecherous brute! What exactly are you doing?"
Xiao Wu was furious. Without another word, she Teleported to Ma Hongjun's side and kicked him away.
Bang!
Dust immediately flew everywhere.
"Ah!"
Huahua had not expected someone to suddenly appear and kick Ma Hongjun flying.
Dai Mubai/Oscar: ...
Before Huahua and Dai Mubai could say anything, Ma Hongjun had already activated Martial Soul Possession and jumped onto the roof of a wooden hut.
"Who is it?!"
"It is your great-aunt! Who told you to bully that young girl? Aren't you disgusting?"
Xiao Wu stomped hard with her right foot and pointed at Ma Hongjun atop the roof with her right hand.
When Ma Hongjun saw how beautiful Xiao Wu was, he nearly drooled. He leered at her and said, "I can let her go, but I have never seen you before. How about you take her place and keep me company for a night?"
Hearing that, Xiao Tian frowned. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance, both seeing the displeasure in Xiao Tian's eyes.
Dai Mubai sighed inwardly and discreetly glanced at Xiao Tian and Tang San. This dead fatty was finished. He had provoked two formidable people at once. He could only pray for himself.
"Heh, talk after you beat me!"
Xiao Wu gathered power throughout her body and prepared to attack. She had decided that she had to teach this dead fatty a lesson.
"First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fireline!"
Upon hearing that, Ma Hongjun immediately wore a lecherous expression. There was such a good thing?
Although Xiao Wu had kicked him flying just now, he believed that he had merely been careless. Now he had the advantage in both height and distance. Could the person before him possibly reach him?
"Second Soul Skill, Charm!"
Enticing pink light shone from Xiao Wu's eyes.
Ma Hongjun was instantly Charmed by Xiao Wu, causing his Phoenix Fireline to shoot wide.
As a result, the thatched huts nearby caught fire.
"Fifteen!"
Sword Fifteen received Xiao Tian's command. Sword Qi surged from its blade as it controlled its power as much as possible and swiftly extinguished the Phoenix Flame.
But Ma Hongjun was still under the effects of Charm and did not notice the scene at all.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up. They had not expected Xiao Tian's Martial Soul to be able to put out fires as well.
Dai Mubai was the most shocked. That was Phoenix Fire! Although Fatty's strength was rather poor, this still...
Looking at the fatty on the roof, Ning Rongrong felt extremely displeased as well. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in her hand.
"First: Power, Second: Speed!"
"Hey, wait..."
Dai Mubai wanted to step in and stop Ning Rongrong, but he was already too late.
Xiao Wu felt the enhancement to her body and smiled at Ning Rongrong, the corners of her lips curving upward.
Let this dead fatty have a taste of Sister Xiao Wu's personal technique!
Eight-Stage Falling Kill, Oscar on the Verge of Tears, Unable to Eat Sausage?
"Third Soul Skill, Teleportation!"
Xiao Wu directly Teleported behind Ma Hongjun. Taking advantage of the instant Ma Hongjun was Charmed, she grabbed his shoulders with both hands, bent her knees, and kicked upward!
