Lan Minghua, Become Stronger by Taking Disciples

After finishing everything, Lan Minghua walked through Dugu Bo's courtyard, preparing to leave.

"Dugu Bo, I should go."

Hearing the voice, Dugu Bo appeared before Lan Minghua almost instantly.

He pleaded, "Master, why don't you stay for two more days?"

Lan Minghua glanced at him with amusement, knowing what he was thinking.

He just wanted Lan Minghua to take Dugu Yan as a disciple too, so he could get some benefits from Lan Minghua, right?

If Dugu Yan were truly taken as a disciple, would she call him senior brother or grandfather?

"No need. I know what you're thinking. If there's fate, I'll take her as a disciple without you recommending her."

"Alright, I'm leaving. You continue with your business. I'll notify you if anything comes up."

Without giving Dugu Bo a chance to argue, he rose into the air and disappeared from his sight in a few breaths.

Dugu Bo sighed, "Alas, I was too greedy."

However, he was already Lan Minghua's disciple, and there would be more opportunities to meet in the future.

When the time came, with plenty of time to interact, Dugu Yan might not have a chance to become his disciple.

The next day, two letters were quickly mailed back to Shrek Academy.

Zhao Wuji and Oscar each received a letter from Lan Minghua.

In the ward, under Zhu Zhuqing's careful care, Oscar had basically recovered.

Upon hearing that Lan Minghua had sent a letter, he jumped up like a monkey.

"Why hasn't Master returned? I was thinking of giving him a surprise!"

"Surprise? What surprise?"

After that soul duel, Zhu Zhuqing was no longer as cold towards Oscar as before.

Oscar puffed out his chest and grinned, "I've broken through to level thirty."

"What!"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at him with surprise. Reaching level thirty at the age of fourteen, and still a Support Soul Master, was astonishing.

It had to be known that food-type spirit souls were among the most difficult types to cultivate.

In a sense, Oscar breaking through to level thirty was much harder than a battle soul master breaking through to level thirty.

Because of this, at the age of fourteen, he barely broke through to level thirty with his Innate Full Soul Power.

"Don't congratulate me yet, let's see what Teacher has to say to us." As he spoke, he eagerly opened the envelope.

The letter unfolded, and Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar's eager gazes swept over every word.

"io, Oscar, did you break through to level thirty? If you didn't, the first thing I'll do when I get back is spank you."

Upon seeing the first sentence, Oscar's mouth twitched.

So, Lan Minghua had already anticipated his breakthrough to level thirty.

He had even been thinking of giving him a surprise!

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing giggled behind her hand, her gaze also softening.

As their eyes continued down, the most important content of the letter arrived.

"I've spoken with Old Zhao, and he will take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain your Third Soul Ring.

I've also chosen the Soul Beast for you; it will be a Crested Phoenix Tail Snake of a thousand years or more.

Also, during my absence from Shrek, I imagine you've faced ostracism and even jealousy.

But you must know, one who is not envied is a mediocre talent. We don't seek trouble, but we don't fear it either.

Finally, if you are lucky enough, you might encounter your teacher in the Star Dou Great Forest."

This letter contained only this much content, and its format was very unconventional.

However, it perfectly matched Lan Minghua's image in Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing's hearts.

"What is Teacher doing in the Star Dou Great Forest? I don't get it!"

Oscar didn't dwell on it, directly casting the matter aside, and excitedly pulled Zhu Zhuqing's hand as they ran out of the infirmary.

"Let's go, Zhuqing. Let's go find the Dean and Teacher Zhao, and head to the Star Dou Great Forest for Soul Hunting right away!"

Zhu Zhuqing didn't resist, allowing Oscar to pull her hand as they walked out.

At the same time, Zhao Wuji also finished reading Lan Minghua's letter.

He was very willing to help Lan Minghua, as the latter had indirectly saved his life.

He immediately headed towards the training grounds, preparing to discuss it with Flender.

By this time, the Sun was High in the Sky, and Tang San and the others had long been woken up by Flender for training.

On the training grounds, Flender stood with a cold expression, his gaze fixed on Dai Mubai and Tang San.

Yesterday's Soul Dueling, Tang San's attempt to kill Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing made him extremely angry.

"Tang San, I can understand you trying to kill Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing. After all, your father was crippled by Lan Minghua. But by doing this, are you afraid Lan Minghua won't know your identity?"

"And Dai Mubai, why are you joining in the chaos, even instigating Tang San to kill them. What, are you afraid it's not chaotic enough?!"

Flender roared internally, wishing he could slap Tang San and Dai Mubai to death.

Although they hadn't interacted much, he didn't believe Lan Minghua had a good temper.

If Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing were seriously injured or worse, Flender feared for his own life.

He already had a bad impression with Lan Minghua and was thinking about how to make amends!

Instead, Tang San and Dai Mubai were so tactless, not only not kowtowing and licking, but also trying to oppose him. Wasn't this pure suicide?

Just as he was about to scold them, Oscar, holding Zhu Zhuqing's hand, rushed over.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai gritted his teeth, clenching his fists so tightly that his fingernails dug into his flesh without him realizing it.

However, he never considered how Zhu Zhuqing felt when he spent a pleasant night with other women.

Upon seeing Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing, a murderous intent flashed in Tang San's eyes.

But this slight change in his expression was noticed by Flender, which greatly disappointed him.

Your father is no match for Lan Minghua, and you, Tang San, a mere Soul Grand Master, think you can be Lan Minghua's opponent?

Flender cursed inwardly, only hoping that this idiot Tang San wouldn't be foolish enough to attack Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing.

Otherwise, no one could save him.

Facing Oscar and the other, Flender immediately changed his expression, smiling and saying, "Oscar, why are you here? Are your injuries all healed?"

"Dean, my injuries are mostly healed. Also, I've broken through level thirty. Master told me to find Teacher Zhao to take me to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain my Third Soul Ring!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present, except for Zhu Zhuqing, was deeply shocked.

Especially Ning Rongrong, who knew how difficult it was for Support System Martial Souls to cultivate.

Flender had once angrily told her that Oscar could even replace the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda to become the number one Support System Martial Soul in the world.

At first, she thought it was a wild fantasy, but looking at it now, Oscar indeed had that potential.

Next was Tang San. Learning that Oscar had broken through level thirty faster than him, the killing intent in his heart almost couldn't be contained.

Fortunately, having lived two lives, he understood forbearance.

Flender laughed heartily, "Good, good, good! Oscar, you truly are a genius. On behalf of the academy, I congratulate you. Come, let Old Zhao take you Soul Hunting immediately."

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

Zhao Wuji heard Flender calling his name from a distance.

"Flender, what are you gossiping about me this time?"

Flender had already spotted Zhao Wuji and said with a smile, "It's just that Xiao Ao has broken through level thirty. I'll trouble you to lead them to the Star Dou Great Forest to help him obtain his Third Soul Ring."

"Them? Dean, are the others also going to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Oscar frowned. Even if he was slow-witted, he could tell from yesterday's Soul Dueling that Tang San wanted to kill him and Zhu Zhuqing.

Was it really okay to go to the Star Dou Great Forest with someone like that?

"Of course. This isn't just about you obtaining a soul ring, it's also training for all of you. After all, you are a team!"

Flender didn't want the relationship between Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and Tang San to become too strained, as it would be of no benefit to Shrek.

He might as well use the Soul Hunting opportunity to ease their relationship.

He glanced sideways at Dai Mubai and Tang San and said sternly, "You two, apologize to Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing!"

Feeling immense pressure from Dai Mubai and Tang San, they forced a smile and apologized to Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, I'm sorry, it was my fault."
