Ning Rongrong was slightly stunned as well, but upon further thought, her intentions had indeed been too obvious. It was no surprise that Xiao Tian had figured it out.
Thus, Ning Rongrong once again invited Xiao Tian. "Since you've already guessed my identity, Xiao Tian, I won't keep pretending. As the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's sect master, I now invite you to join our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. What do you say?
"With your talent and strength, you'll definitely earn Grandpa Sword's approval. And with my father's thirst for talent, he'll certainly spare no effort in nurturing you."
Xiao Tian thought to himself that Ning Fengzhi might indeed nurture him, but "spare no effort" was probably going too far. After all, Ning Fengzhi had no idea what his future attitude toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be.
Unless he were as utterly loyal to the sect as Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, it would probably be rather difficult.
Of course, there was one exception: he could marry into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and bind himself completely to it.
Xiao Tian felt that Ning Fengzhi would most likely choose that approach if Ning Rongrong showed even the slightest bit of affection for him.
It was not that Xiao Tian was narcissistic. He thought his looks were decent enough, and his first three Soul Rings were all thousand-year rings. Even if his Innate Soul Power was not particularly high, outsiders would think he had accelerated his Soul Power growth through Sword Intent. That was no longer a disadvantage.
Barring any accidents, becoming a Titled Douluo in the future was practically guaranteed.
Moreover, Jian Daochen Xin, the number one attack-type Douluo in the world, was there to back him up. It was hard not to imagine that Ning Fengzhi might want him to marry into the sect.
[ Ding! Does the host truly have no thoughts about Nine-Colored Goddess Ning Rongrong at all? She possesses both beauty and wealth—she's a genuine fair-skinned, rich beauty! Doesn't the host want to steal her away from Food God Oscar? ]
[ Hehehe, just thinking about it is exciting. But this Tongzi should 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, so don't go courting death! ]
Xiao Tian: ???
"System, why do I feel like you're not worried at all? You even seem eager to watch the drama unfold."
[ Ding! The host is mistaken. This system is not that kind of Tongzi. Host, you wouldn't want your Critical Strike Reward to leave you, would you? ]
Xiao Tian: ...System, you've really gone bad.
Xiao Tian was somewhat confused. It had only been a few days, so why had the system's attitude changed so much? Had it encountered too many "Deities," causing it to give up entirely and start slacking off?
Seeing Ning Rongrong being so enthusiastic toward Xiao Tian, Oscar immediately felt displeased.
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 suddenly felt rather depressed, though he did not reveal anything on his face. Then, with a smile, he volunteered, "Ning Rongrong, do you think I can join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? You should know about my Martial Soul, and I'm also the continent's first Food System Soul Master born with Innate Full Soul Power."
Ning Rongrong had not received Xiao Tian's answer, yet Oscar had eagerly volunteered instead. Frowning, she said, "Oscar, what proof do you have that you were born with Innate Full Soul Power?
"If you're a commoner, then like Xiao Tian and the others, a Soul Master from Spirit Hall 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 types to cultivate, why had you only just reached Level 30 at fourteen?"
The two questions Ning Rongrong raised were both extremely sharp.
Yesterday, when she heard Flender introduce Oscar as someone born with Innate Full Soul Power, she had indeed been greatly shocked. Even she had only possessed Innate Level Nine Soul Power, and that alone had made her the most gifted person in her sect's history.
She knew that their sect's Martial Soul was limited by an inherent flaw in its inheritance and could never reach Innate Full Soul Power. Innate Level Nine was already the limit. Even her father had possessed Innate Soul Power that had merely approached Level Nine!
This was where her pride came from. 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, reaching seventy-ninth level was generally not a problem before they died.
This showed that the only advantage of higher Innate Soul Power for them was faster early-stage cultivation, allowing them to rise more quickly.
Even so, Ning Fengzhi had been overjoyed. He and the two Titled Douluo cherished Ning Rongrong dearly and feared she would suffer even the slightest grievance. That had fostered her Little Witch personality, though her nature was not actually bad.
Furthermore, because Xiao Tian had shocked Ning Rongrong so greatly yesterday, Oscar's Innate Full Soul Power seemed rather unremarkable to her. After all, Tang San and Xiao Wu had also been born with Innate Full Soul Power.
Hadn't Xiao Tian crushed them outright?
Without comparison, there was no harm!
So after Ning Rongrong returned to the dormitory yesterday, her mind had actually been very clear.
Though Ning Rongrong sometimes seemed cheerful and carefree, she had still come from a prestigious sect. Her intelligence was not low; it could even be said that she was the smartest among the three girls.
After carefully thinking it over last night, she became suspicious. First, Flender had said that Oscar possessed Innate Full Soul Power, yet offered no proof whatsoever. Unless Oscar could produce the Spirit Hall certificate recording his awakened Soul Power.
Second, even if Food System Martial Souls were difficult to cultivate, was reaching Level 30 only at fourteen not a little too slow?
Although Shrek Academy was so barren and lacked a Mimicry Cultivation Environment, Food System Soul Masters had the lowest requirements for one—practically none at all.
Their way of cultivating Soul Power was simply to keep making food!
Ning Rongrong might only be Level 26 now, but she had only just turned twelve!
And it was not as if Oscar was particularly lazy. She herself was not all that dedicated to cultivating her Martial Soul either!
Besides cultivating Soul Power in the sect, she usually had to strengthen her body as much as possible through running and other methods, while also becoming proficient in the sect's secret technique, Heart Separation Control.
Even when her Soul Rings did not meet the requirements for cultivation, there were other methods to assist her. Though she admittedly had not been all that serious about it.
Yet even with all those tasks dividing her attention, she was only Level 26 now. Even so, she was still the sect's favored daughter of heaven!
And what about Oscar?
At this academy, aside from his free time, all Oscar could do should have been cultivation, right?
He was two years older than her, yet his Soul Power was only four levels higher. That made no sense!
