"Of course not. It's already quite impressive to reach this level at your age. You're just missing a few opportunities."
Oscar smiled and explained softly.
In truth, it was already astonishing that Zhu Zhuqing had reached level twenty-seven at her age. Even Dai Mubai hadn't been as strong as she was now when he first enrolled.
After all, Shrek's admission requirements were simply that applicants be under twelve and have reached level twenty.
And under those conditions, only four students had enrolled in the past few years, counting Oscar himself.
The reason Oscar's cultivation speed and combat ability far surpassed those of his peers was the opportunities he'd received: Feng Hou Qi Gate, the complete Taiji Technique, and the abilities passed down from Wudang. These had allowed him to build up an advantage from a young age, widening the gap between him and everyone else.
Ma Hongjun had also gained an opportunity through him. He'd refined his Martial Soul and Soul Power long ago, so his cultivation speed had naturally improved considerably.
Even Dai Mubai, whose progress had been slow, had benefited greatly from Oscar's Taiji Technique. Otherwise, he would never have reached level thirty-nine by now.
Even Meng Yiran, who'd joined Shrek three years ago, had only managed to increase her cultivation speed to its current level thanks to the vitality provided by Oscar's Grace Hymn Emerald Sausage.
All in all, they had all relied on opportunities.
