" Oscar!"
Because he needed to develop rapport and refine his Martial Soul with the six new team members, Oscar didn't lead the brand-new First Heaven Dou Team to the competition venue until his own battle began.
Just as they reached the entrance to the battle arena, a beautiful figure called out to them. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Ning Rongrong.
However, Ning Rongrong's angry expression this time clearly indicated that she had come with ill intentions.
Oscar's indifferent gaze swept across the room and landed on Tang San and the others following behind Ning Rongrong.
Ignoring these people, Oscar continued walking.
"Stop!"
Seeing that Oscar was ignoring her, Ning Rongrong became even angrier and stepped forward to block Oscar and the others.
" Oscar, let me ask you, what is your relationship with her?"
Pointing at Ye Lingling, who was standing next to Oscar, Ning Rongrong questioned her, her anger blazing.
"What's it to you?"
Oscar stopped in his tracks and replied indifferently.
Shrek's despicable actions have completely eroded the last bit of fond memories he had of the team, leaving him with nothing but disgust for the team he once belonged to.
Now all that's needed is to see who comes out on top in the match!
"I'm Little Ao's fiancée, what can I do for you?"
Before Ning Rongrong could speak, Ye Lingling stepped forward and affectionately took Oscar's arm, looking defiantly at Ning Rongrong opposite her.
This scene infuriated Ning Rongrong, who was already in a bad mood. Although she had already given up on Oscar, she was still very unhappy to see him find a new girlfriend so quickly.
Most importantly, Oscar actually chose Ye Lingling from the Nine-Hearted Begonia Clan. What is this guy up to?
" Oscar, don't think that just because you've approached Ye Lingling, you're qualified to compete with me. The inheritance of the Nine-Colored Goddess will surely belong to me!"
Ning Rongrong pointed at Oscar's nose and berated him, her words revealing her determination to obtain the Nine-Colored Goddess's inheritance, even considering the Godhood Inheritance the Nine-Colored Goddess's divine position as her own possession.
Since it concerns becoming a god, no one can take it lightly, and Ning Rongrong certainly wouldn't either.
It was only after her father's explanation last night that she suddenly realized that Oscar had long harbored ulterior motives, and she had once thought that he truly loved her wholeheartedly.
In the entire Douluo Continent, only the Nine-Colored Goddess's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul meet the standards for inheritance.
Now that Oscar and Ye Lingling are together, is their intention even more obvious?
"Tsk tsk, you talk about the divine inheritance as if it's already yours. I've heard that the information about the inheritance of the God of Food God and the Nine-Colored Goddess was given to you by Teacher Little Ao. You've already separated from Little Ao, do you have the right to say such things?"
That guy's skin is even thicker than mine!
Osler, standing behind, couldn't stand it any longer. He clicked his tongue and sneered, his mocking and disdainful gaze undisguised.
These words made Ning Rongrong's pretty face flush red, because it was the truth, and she couldn't refute it.
"Senior Sword Douluo has already obtained the recognition of the Asura God's inheritance and can communicate with the Asura God in the Divine Realm. Even without that Spirit Hall Grandmaster speaking, Rongrong would still be able to obtain information about the God of Food God and the Nine-Colored Goddess."
At this moment, Tang San stepped forward and spoke up to help Ning Rongrong out of the predicament, easing the awkward atmosphere on their side.
"That's right. There are quite a few divine legacies on the Douluo Continent. As long as we can communicate with the Divine Realm, what's so difficult about obtaining a little bit of information?"
Ma Hongjun chimed in, completely disregarding his past relationship with Oscar.
He was a decisive person; having chosen to sever all ties with Oscar at the gates of Spirit City last time, he wouldn't hesitate any longer.
Moreover, the other party has already become a disciple of that Spirit Hall Grandmaster, and is destined to be a member of the Spirit Hall. In the future, they will only be enemies.
Should we still hold onto old friendships with our enemies?
Oscar's indifferent gaze slowly swept over Tang San and the others, finally landing on Ning Rongrong. He calmly said, "Back when I was completely engrossed in researching the recipe, you were already somewhat dissatisfied with me, weren't you?"
Looking at things from a different perspective can reveal many hidden details that are usually difficult to discover, much like how those involved are often confused while bystanders see things clearly.
He had been blinded by his feelings for Ning Rongrong, and only after completely severing those foolish feelings did he realize how foolish he had been.
"So what if it is? You wouldn't go shopping with me, you wouldn't come sightseeing with me, and you wouldn't even come back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with me."
I suppose you already had other ideas back then, wanting to break away from me and go it alone!
"I underestimated you. You've already hooked up with Ye Lingling of the Nine-Hearted Begonia Clan in just a few months."
Ning Rongrong's spoiled princess temper flared up, and she sneered as she confronted Oscar head-on.
"..."
Looking at his former love, who had become so unfamiliar, Oscar remained silent, once again realizing how foolish and naive he had been.
He had forced himself to come here despite his advanced age and failing health, hoping to see his former lover one last time, but who would have thought he would witness such a ridiculous outcome?
Indeed, the ancients' emphasis on matching social status with family backgrounds when it comes to newlyweds is reasonable. People from different social classes will have vastly different ways of thinking, and if they don't think alike, conflicts will inevitably arise sooner or later.
Unless one party continues to shamelessly fawn over and flatter others.
In the end, he was just a lucky commoner with a Innate mutated Martial Soul, while she was the young lady of a top sect. The difference in their status was like heaven and earth.
How can someone so far apart possibly come together perfectly and have a happy future?
Back then, he knew that Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and others looked down on him as a commoner and opposed his relationship with Ning Rongrong.
He refused to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect precisely because he didn't want to embarrass himself and Ning Rongrong.
He devoted himself entirely to researching sausage recipes, hoping to hold his breath and wait until he obtained the inheritance of the Food God. Then, he would use the inheritance of the Nine-Colored Goddess's Godhood Inheritance as a betrothal gift to get Ning Fengzhi and the others to agree to his marriage with Ning Rongrong.
This was the only thing he could boast about, yet this was how Ning Rongrong saw his efforts.
Will accompanying you shopping and sightseeing get your father's approval for our marriage, or will it allow you to inherit the Nine-Colored Goddess's legacy?
This kind of woman is too selfish; she only thinks about herself and never puts herself in his shoes.
I was so naive and foolish before!
Too lazy to continue speaking, Oscar pushed Ning Rongrong aside and strode forward. Ye Lingling and Osler's people behind him quickly followed, while Ning Rongrong and the others were completely ignored.
"Wait, Little Ao, what are you doing up there? And why have you changed so many people?"
Tang San finally noticed something was wrong and frowned as he spoke. This time, Oscar had actually led the way into the battle arena, and more than half of the members of the First Heaven Dou Team had been replaced.
Only four members remained: Ye Lingling, Osler, Yu Feng, and the woman with the archery martial Martial Soul.
What exactly happened?
The others also frowned, equally puzzled as to what was going on.
"Pooh!"
"Stop putting on this pretentious act; it's disgusting!"
Yu Feng, who hadn't spoken until now, turned around and retorted, filled with anger about the matter.
While enemies are hateful, traitors are often even more hateful than enemies.
"What do you mean? Explain yourself clearly!"
Dai Mubai dodged the phlegm that Yu Feng spat out, and then flew into a rage.
"We're in this state because of you, and this is exactly the outcome you wanted, isn't it?"
You guys can't beat us head-on, so you resort to underhanded tactics. You're really ruthless.
However, Shrek Academy has a notorious history of misdeeds, so I'm not surprised that you did something like this.
This time it was Osler's turn to speak, and his words immediately caused Tang San and the others' expressions to change.
"Bang!"
"This is not the kind of despicable victory we want!"
The straightforward Yang Wuwei slammed his fist against the wall beside him. He deeply abhorred such things, for even if he won, all he would gain was humiliation.
The others roughly understood what was going on; it must be that the forces behind them had secretly pulled some tricks again.
Otherwise, the First Heaven Dou Team wouldn't have made so many changes to its members despite having such a significant advantage, especially since those changes involved key players.
Although they were quite annoyed, Tang San and the others still walked to the center of the fighting arena after the referee announced it again, standing opposite Oscar and the others who were a hundred feet away.
" Osler and Tang San are cautious by nature. In order to pave the way for the subsequent matches, they will definitely try their best to hide their trump cards."
Therefore, the maximum number of times one can unleash Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill is the same as the Holy Tiger War God from last time.
Therefore, your task, Yu Feng's, and Sinuo's task is to keep Tang Long and his group of four occupied, and if there is an opportunity, to severely injure them. Your top priority is to eliminate Yu Xinming from the competition.
After glancing at the positions of the Shrek Team and others, Oscar roughly understood their tactics and immediately devised a battle plan for Osler and his two companions.
Osler, Yu Feng, and Sinuo were the original members of the First Heaven Dou Team. Sinuo was also Yu Feng's fiancée. They had an excellent teamwork, and the three of them even showed a tendency to cultivate Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
If the three of them can master the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill in this battle, they will surely be able to eliminate Tang Long and his group of four.
Once those four are defeated, even if his side falls into a disadvantageous position, he can eventually turn the tide and win.
Therefore, the key to this battle is to take advantage of their large number of team changes to make the Shrek Team underestimate them, and then take the initiative to hold Tang San and the others back.
We must not allow the opponent to unleash more than the power of Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill, especially not to let Yu Xinming merge into it.
After all, today's weather is a huge boost to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Once Yu Xinming merges with the Holy Tiger War God, although it won't be able to reach the level of the Thunder Shenron, it will at least be able to draw upon the boundless power of thunder in the sky to attack the enemy.
That would put them in a much more passive position.
Therefore, the mission of Osler and his two companions is of paramount importance.
"Understood, Captain!"
The three men, Osler and his companions, solemnly accepted the order.
"Clear your mind of all distractions; leave the Martial Soul Fusion Skill to me."
Oscar turned his gaze to Qian Renxue's six personal guards and once again gave them a stern warning.
The time for adjustment was far too short, so he could only ask the six people to relinquish control of their own Martial Soul and hand them all over to him.
Although this would greatly increase his pressure, it would maximize the stability of his Martial Soul Fusion Skill and its combat power ceiling.
"Yes!"
The six men answered in unison. They had received military training, and the core of military training was obedience to orders. They had no reason to care about Oscar's orders.
Moreover, Oscar's choice is the safest option, so there's even less chance of opposition.
Similarly, Tang San and the others on the opposite side, observing Oscar's formation and positioning, began to secretly discuss a targeted battle plan.
Unlike one-on-one battles, tactical planning is especially important in team battles, and can even allow the weak to defeat the strong.
However, the Imperial Fighting Team has changed too many members this time, with only four old members remaining. As for the six new members, they know nothing about them, have no information whatsoever, and don't even know what kind of Martial Soul they possess.
Most importantly, it's the Oscar!
Oscar's transformation was too drastic, and his opponent was a disciple of that mysterious Grandmaster from the Spirit Hall. No one knew what kind of trump cards the opponent had up his sleeve.
With so many unknown variables combined, even the mature and shrewd Tang San felt overwhelmed and found it difficult to formulate an effective travel plan.
"Looks like we'll have to just deal with things as they come!"
With a sigh, Tang San was unable to devise a good battle plan for the time being and could only act according to circumstances.
