Chapter 42: Oscar the Introvert, Who Ultimately Couldn

Ning Rongrong pulled Xiao Wu away.

Zhu Zhuqing silently followed behind.

Ning Rongrong saw Xiao Wu, who had known Xiao Xian before, especially Tang San who was with Xiao Wu—was he Xiao Xian's younger brother?

She thought Xiao Wu was more familiar with Slake, and planned to ask what the situation here actually was.

How is it that after counting, she has the lowest soul power?

Her martial soul is the Qibao Liuli Tower, the world's number‑one support‑type martial soul!

In this crappy place, there are actually two Food Type beings with Innate Full Soul Power?!

If they cultivated to Soul Fighter, even to become a titled Douluo, and intended to establish a faction, what does the Qibao Liuli Sect have to do with it?

Originally she was quite proud, even conceited. Now, in this crappy place, she has become the worst.

Although Xiao Xian was only teasing, it still made her a bit unable to accept it, and for the first time in her life she felt a sense of urgency.

Unfortunately, Xiao Wu, like her, knew nothing about Slake, and stammered, only talking about Xiao Xian himself and Tang San's situation.

After Ning Rongrong learned about Xiao Wu's relationship with Xiao Xian and Tang San, she immediately gossiped, and after some teasing her mood improved a lot.

Only Xiao Wu remained, fuming and claw‑like, sitting on the bed.

……

"Xiao San, how's the teacher?" Xiao Xian said as he returned to the dormitory, pouring a glass of water for Tang San at the table by the window.

"Thanks, senior brother! The teacher… the teacher is still the same. It's just that when you're not here, the teacher seems even stricter…" Tang San smiled faintly and answered honestly.

"Strict… not too bad." Xiao Xian shook his head. The Master had never been very strict with him; his freedom was quite high.

Tang San's faint smile turned into a bitter grin.

The Master treated him well, but compared with Xiao Xian there was still a bit of a gap.

Especially since Xiao Xian's martial soul is so similar to the Master's; he once thought Xiao Xian was the Master's child, only later learning he was a relative.

No wonder, he still has a father, while senior brother…

A bad thought flashed through Tang San's mind.

……

Xiao Xian chatted with Tang San a while longer, asking how the Dean of Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy was doing and how those teachers he was more familiar with were.

Tang San knew some things clearly, but was unclear about others.

After Xiao Xian finished asking, Tang San did most of the talking.

Tang San mentioned his father still hadn't returned, and that he and Xiao Wu had waited in Shenghun Village for many days.

He also said Xiao Wu still hadn't fully agreed to become their sister… or rather, she only half‑agreed.

Whenever Xiao Xian wasn't present, she was willing to be Tang San's sister; but with Xiao Xian now, she wasn't.

Tang San looked a bit helpless.

Over the years, he's taken out quite a few good things.

He also couldn't quite figure out the situation; Xiao Wu's relationship with Xiao Xian was fickle and bizarre.

Xiao Xian listened, dumbfounded; this rabbit, just to snatch a hidden weapon, was truly scheming.

There was nothing else worth discussing; casually, Xiao Xian mentioned his martial soul, which seemed ready to evolve, having perfectly achieved the goal of the Third Soul Ring, and he also showed off his Purple Radiance Soul Power.

Tang San sincerely congratulated Xiao Xian.

Xiao Xian had Xiao Jue, whose cultivation speed had always been fast, but later she was almost caught up by him and Xiao Wu.

Obviously, the problem was now solved.

The dragon aura on Xiao Jue, together with that dangerous vibe, made him quite alarmed.

After talking with Xiao Xian, Tang San's mood clearly improved, and his smile grew wider.

……

At noon, several newly joined trainees ate a meal in Shi Tang and officially got to know Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Dai Mubai.

Xiao Xian was still asleep, but later heard that Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel.

Angry, Dai Mubai went straight to Suotuo City, not sure if he was looking for the twins.

Ning Rongrong still had the appearance of a gentle beauty, silently inquiring about the situation of the other trainees in the academy.

After confirming it was indeed as Xiao Xian said, she couldn't help feeling a bit introverted and self‑doubting, muttering something under her breath.

All the way until evening.

In the academy, there were no new trainees, not even a single one who had entered the Fourth Realm.

Oscar returned to the dormitory, excited and ready to start shaving.

Obviously, he was moved after seeing the three new pretty junior sisters at noon.

At the same time, he hesitated a bit, looking at Xiao Xian and saying, "Brother Xian, that…"

Xiao Xian slowly opened his eyes, "What is it."

Oscar said with a mischievous grin, "Brother Xian, three such beautiful junior sisters just arrived, aren't you planning to…"

Xiao Xian glanced at him, "Which one caught your eye?"

Oscar chuckled, "Xiao Wu and you and Tang San know each other, so of course it's you… ahem! That ice‑mountain called Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Laoda obviously knows her, I wouldn't dare to provoke her. That leaves only one…"

Xiao Xian closed his eyes again; under the influence of Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's aura, Oscar was similar—changing girlfriends quite frequently.

"In the short term, you have little hope."

"The Qibao Liuli Sect, an auxiliary Soul Master sect, its first principle in seeking a spouse is that they must be combat‑type, especially Ning Rongrong, who is probably the sect master's daughter."

Xiao Xian whispered a reminder.

Oscar, in this life, might not have such good luck; without a good combat‑type virtuous partner, he could die a terrible death, let alone become a titled Douluo before forty.

The Qibao Liuli Sect, however, is a half‑extinct sect…

Oscar heard that, froze, then an exaggerated wry smile appeared on his face: "No way, Brother Xiao Xian, don't try to fool me!"

"Are you… have you taken a liking to Ning Rongrong…!"

Xiao Xian gave him a glance: "Who doesn't like a fair‑skinned, rich, beautiful woman, but I reckon it's hard for me to handle."

Let him, a Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon clan disciple, marry the future sect leader of the Qibao Liuli Sect.

Ning Fengzhi isn't dim‑witted, so he could never consent.

Thinking of that, Xiao Xian's heart suddenly felt a bit of urgency.

If I recall correctly, when they learned that Tang San possesses a Dual‑born Martial Soul, the Qibao Liuli Sect's titled Douluo entertained the idea of assassinating Tang San.

If it weren't for the Spirit Hall's covert threat, Ning Fengzhi, fearing it would affect the relations among the top three sects, might have let him act.

Xiao Xian considers that he lacks Tang San's genius; Dual‑born Martial Soul is rare in the world, but if the plan goes smoothly… he will sooner or later become a thorn in many people's sides.

"One Slake, I'm afraid it can't protect…"

Xiao Xian let out a faint sigh in his heart.

The Master likely still remains determined to have them enter the continent‑wide elite tournament of the Advanced Soul Master Academy.

Without relying on Slake, he would find it hard to reach that herb garden, and also hard to hunt a suitable Fourth Ring.

Oscar lay on the bed, feeling a bit listless, and didn't even plan to shave his beard.

Xiao Xian's words were cold and realistic.

A Support Type Soul Master, as long as his mind isn't broken, truly cannot find another Support Type.

But if it's just to chase and toy with…

Oscar resolutely withdrew.

The sect leader's daughter of the Qibao Liuli Sect.

From start to finish, even if he lent him a hundred doses of courage, he still wouldn't dare.

…

The night grew deeper.

Xiao Xian suddenly opened his eyes and looked out the window.

He heard Zhao Wuji's sound of breaking through the window.

Even the tiny Nording Academy, Tang Hao is going to make an appearance, to give Tang San a platform.

Moreover, it's a place swarming with high‑level Soul Masters like Slake.

…
