Why His Talent Was Never Reported
Fu Zhi smiled slightly and was about to say something else, but Oscar plucked up the courage and asked the question that had been lingering in his heart for a long time:
"Senior, you... you must be a very powerful Soul Master, right? Can I take the liberty of asking, what level are you at?"
After asking, he quickly added, "I... I'm just curious! If it's not convenient to tell you, it's okay!"
Fu Zhi looked at his nervous and expectant little face, the smile in his eyes deepened.
She did not answer directly, but slightly released an extremely weak breath of Soul Power.
This breath is as misty as smoke, yet as thick as a mountain, with an indescribable sense of oppression.
Although it only passed by in a flash, it was enough to make the hair on Oscar's body stand on end at a close distance, and his soul seemed to tremble for a moment!
That was a power that completely surpassed his level of cognition!
"I have been practicing hard for decades, and now I have reached level 93 Titled Douluo!"
Oscar took a deep breath when he heard this, his eyes widened, he stammered and pointed at Fu Zhi, his voice changed and he said:
"Titled Douluo?! You... you are Titled Douluo?!"
Although I have seen the grand scene of the Titled Douluo battle in my dream, a dream is still a dream after all!
At this moment, a living Titled Douluo was sitting in front of him, talking to him gently...
This kind of impact, for an eight-year-old civilian child, is simply the level of a nuclear explosion!
He stood up from the stone in a sudden motion, feeling at a loss what to do, his face turned red, he didn't know whether to bow or salute, and his mind went blank.
Titled Douluo ah!
That is the existence that stands at the pinnacle of the entire continent!
The city lord of Balier City is just Spirit King!
Seeing Oscar panicking like a frightened deer, the smile in Fu Zhi's eyes became gentler.
She gently raised her hand, and a soft invisible force supported Oscar, making him sit down steadily again.
"Don't be nervous, sit down and talk."
Her voice was soothing as she continued:
"Look, I already know your name is Oscar, but I haven't told you what my name is yet."
She paused and then said clearly:
"My sister's name is Fu Zhi. You can call me... Sister Fu."
"Fu... Senior Fu Zhi... No, Sister Fu..." Oscar repeated subconsciously, still not fully recovered from the shock of Titled Douluo.
However, the next second, the word "Fu" struck into his mind like lightning, and was instantly connected with the profound figure in his dream!
Fu... Fu?
And the "Teacher Fu" in his dream... the same last name?!
Fu Zhi, on the other hand, paused, a deep light flashed in his eyes, and continued:
"Actually, the reason why I came here specifically to find you is that besides your unique talent and your connection with my family, there is another reason."
Oscar raised his head and looked at her with some confusion.
Fu Zhi's tone became slightly serious and continued:
"In the past two days at Balier City, I didn't just find out about your name and talents."
"My perception as Titled Douluo has heard some not-so-pleasant inside stories about your situation."
Oscar blinked in confusion and asked in confusion, "My... situation?"
Fu Zhi nodded and said slowly:
"Do you know how rare Innate Full Soul Power and Food System Soul Master are?"
"Looking at the entire continent, there may not be one in the past hundred years."
"According to the Spirit Hall's regular procedures, once discovered, the local branch temple should immediately report to the main city and even Martial Soul Sacred Hall, and list you as a key training object, with resources tilted, and direct access to the Spirit City Academy."
Oscar was stunned when he heard this. He had never heard of this before.
He always thought that it was good that he could receive a Gold Soul Coin subsidy every month.
"However, Balier City Spirit Hall Branch did not report your situation."
Fu Zhi's voice continued with a hint of coldness, "I heard the conversation between the Claire Palace Master and his confidants. He deliberately suppressed your matter."
"Why?" Oscar asked subconsciously, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart.
"Because of power and selfishness."
Fu Zhi continued bluntly, "Claire has been operating under Balier City for many years, and its power has become impregnable."
"If he reported this genius like you, it would certainly be meritorious, but the more likely result would be to transfer him to the main city."
"After all, he is now the master of the branch hall. If he discovers a Innate Full Soul Power genius Soul Master, Spirit City will naturally give him high rewards, but this is not in line with his interests of being content with the status quo and domineering."
Oscar's little face slowly turned pale.
Although he was young, he was born a commoner and was used to the behavior of noble children in the academy, so he was not completely ignorant of people's calculations.
It's just that he never thought that he, a little working-study student, would become a part of someone else's scheme.
Fu Zhi looked at his changing expression and continued:
"He suppressed your message, but he didn't want to waste your good talent."
"So, he instructs the aristocratic students in the college who have a close relationship with him to intentionally or unintentionally exclude and despise you, making you feel isolated and inferior in the college."
"And in the Spirit Hall, he will make people take you seriously and be polite."
"The purpose of this cold, hot, belittling and promotion is to pin your desire for recognition on him, so that he can subdue you in the future and become his personal bargaining chip or help."
Every word is like a cold needle, piercing the vague barrier in Oscar's past knowledge.
It turns out that those strange looks, the ridicule behind them, the incompatibility in the academy... there is such a conspiracy behind them!
And the occasional praise and expectations from the deacons in Spirit Hall Branch also contain these calculations!
A chill rose from the soles of his feet, mixed with the anger of being deceived and used, making Oscar's body tremble slightly again.
He bit his lower lip tightly and dug his nails into his palms.
It turns out... what he thought was a genius treatment was just a well-designed cage!
It turns out that his low self-esteem and struggle all along were actually the result of someone else's deliberate creation!
Seeing the anger and hurt rising in Oscar's eyes, Fu Zhi sighed inwardly, but this step must be taken.
Only by breaking his illusions and dependence on the current environment can he truly look into the distance.
"Child, the world is very big and complicated."
"Talent is a gift, but sometimes it can become a sin." Fu Zhi's voice softened and continued with a guiding tone:
"What matters is how you choose your path and... who you choose to walk with."
Oscar suddenly raised his head and looked at Fu Zhi.
He remembered the unreserved trust and expectation when Teacher Fu taught him in his dream.
I remembered everything I had missed in my dream because of my wrong choices.
