Lu Yu opened the door and welcomed Oscar into the house. As soon as they entered, Lu Yu and Lin Tian were immediately speechless with embarrassment.

Lin Tian's Purple-Patterned Wings went out of control and made a mess of the room, then Flender arrived, and there hasn't been time to clean up yet.

"Never mind, let's go to the yard!"

Lu Yu believed that as long as she wasn't embarrassed, it was others who would be embarrassed. She didn't care about the mess in front of her and turned to walk away.

Upon entering the courtyard, Lu Yu brought Oscar a chair. After Oscar sat down, Lu Yu gently asked...

"What, your dean has agreed to let you join us?"

Oscar scratched his head and honestly replied, "The dean agreed to let me follow you, but... he won't let me tell you how much Innate Soul Power I have!"

Lu Yu's lips curled up, and she knew exactly what was going on.

Conceal your talents, suppress your abilities, and prevent others from poaching you.

Flender's little schemes were completely seen through by Lu Yu. As a transmigrator, Lu Yu knew everything about Oscar's future achievements; why would he need to hide anything? He'd expose him completely.

"It's alright," Lu Yu said calmly, her tone sincere.

"We're just friends, we won't pry into your secrets."

Hearing this, Oscar felt a warmth in his heart, and the anxiety he had felt from Flender's instructions instantly dissipated.

Lu Yu chuckled and patted Oscar on the shoulder, "Perfect timing! We just got back from Soul Hunting, and we're still quite injured. Could you please make us a couple of Recovery Sausage to help treat our wounds?"

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Oscar patted his chest, clasped his hands together, and began to chant a spell in a low voice.

" I Have a Big Sausage!"

A flash of white light, and a warm, plump Big Sausage appeared in my palm.

"Brother Lu Yu, here you go!" Oscar handed the sausage to Lu Yu.

"From now on, just call me Brother Yu. 'Brother Lu Yu ' sounds really awkward!" Lu Yu said, taking the sausage.

After saying that, Lu Yu handed the sausage in her hand to Lin Tian and looked back at Oscar.

"Do you need to chant that Soul Incantation every time you use Soul Skill?"

Oscar blushed, his ears turning bright red. With Ma Hongjun, the chubby boy, beside him, how could he not understand what Lu Yu was trying to say? Embarrassed, he lowered his head, his little hands nervously twisting together.

"Hmm... I have to read it!"

Oscar's voice was faint and weak, full of embarrassment.

"The dean said this is an innate Soul Incantation of the Martial Soul, so there's no need to care about what others think; they can't have it even if they wanted it!"

At this point, a hint of arrogance flashed in Oscar's eyes.

Seeing the strange look in Oscar's eyes, Lu Yu's lips twitched. Luckily, he arrived early; if it had been a few years later, Oscar would have completely gone astray.

Lu Yu thought for a moment and then asked, "Does the Soul Incantation have to be recited aloud? Can I just recite it silently in my mind?"

Oscar hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "It's possible, but the casting speed will be twice as slow as usual."

Lu Yu immediately understood. Battles between Soul Master happen in the blink of an eye. To slow down one's spellcasting speed by half is tantamount to suicide.

Lu Yu pressed down on Oscar's shoulder, meeting his gaze. " Oscar, I have a way that might change your Soul Incantation. I wonder if you'd be willing to try."

"Really? Is it really possible?" Oscar's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

Even the Dean, a level 78 Soul Saint, couldn't solve it, so what makes this person think he can?

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment; after the initial surprise, Oscar lowered his head again.

" Brother Yu, I know you're just trying to comfort me, but it's okay, I'm used to it!"

Lu Yu didn't say much. He patted Oscar on the shoulder, got up and went back inside. After a while, Lu Yu took out a stack of yellowed papers and two pens and placed them in front of Oscar.

Oscar looked at Lu Yu with a puzzled expression, " Brother Yu, what's going on?"

Lu Yu divided the paper into two pieces, placed a pen on each, and looked at Oscar.

" Oscar, you hold a pen in one hand, draw a circle with your left hand and a square with your right hand, at the same time."

Once you can multitask, perhaps you can try changing the Soul Incantation.

"Rain, Brother Yu, is this really going to work?" Oscar was still worried and unwilling to face the possibility of failure.

"How will you know if it will work if you don't try? You don't even have the courage to try, so how can you talk about making a change!" Lu Yu's tone was calm, but every word hit Oscar hard in the heart.

Lu Yu wasn't thinking about changing Oscar's Soul Incantation. It was already locked in the original story; Oscar's Soul Incantation Soul Incantation couldn't be changed, even after Oscar became the God of Food.

Lu Yu's idea was to make Oscar multitask, silently chanting " Laozi " in his mind while saying "I" aloud, silently chanting " Big Sausage " in his mind while saying "treat intestines" aloud!

This method comes from the Old Urchin Zhou Botong. When he was bored, he would fight with himself, using different techniques with each hand.

Later, Yang Guo learned it and could perform the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, which requires two people to work together, all by himself.

Lu Yu refused to believe that the Soul Incantation of the Mystic Sewers could be more difficult than the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.

Whether this method will work ultimately depends on Oscar's talent.

Oscar looked at the papers and charcoal pencils on the table, bit his lower lip, and the submissive look in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a hint of stubbornness.

He really hated that Soul Incantation.

Every time he used his Soul Skill in public, everyone would laugh at him and point fingers at him, and each time was deeply etched in Oscar's heart.

"I'll practice!"

Oscar took a deep breath, holding a charcoal pencil in each of his small hands, hovering them above the paper.

Lin Tian watched quietly from the side, his eyes full of curiosity. He had never heard of such an absurd training method. How could he possibly complete two tasks at once, drawing both a square and a circle at the same time?

Swish--

The pen tips of both hands slide simultaneously.

But people's hearts are inherently one, and their thoughts are naturally of the same origin. The more you try to separate them, the more your hands interfere with each other.

The circle drawn with the left hand turned into a crooked ellipse, and the square drawn with the right hand became a crooked rhombus. The lines were messy and intertwined, and the whole paper was a mess.

"This is so hard..."

Oscar broke out in a cold sweat, his fingers turned white, and sweat dripped from his palms onto the paper, leaving small watermarks.

"Normal!" Lu Yu said calmly.

"Ninety-nine percent of people in the world can't do this in their entire lives, so how do you know you're not one of those rare exceptions? Let's try again!"

Hearing Lu Yu's encouraging words, Oscar rubbed his wrist, changed the paper, and started writing.

The second time, the third time, the tenth time...

The courtyard was still, and the sunlight slowly shifted.

He failed time and time again, and tried again and again. At one point, Lin Tian even went out and bought two more stacks of paper.

Oscar's face was covered in sweat, and his fingertips felt sore, numb, and stiff. This intense concentration was making his head spin.

But he refused to give up. Lu Yu was right; how could he know he couldn't succeed if he hadn't even tried?

What if I am that one in a million genius?
