Tang San took off his backpack and left with Flanders. Yu Xiaogang was his teacher, and now that Yu Xiaogang had fainted, he had to follow him.
After Shao Xin handed out candy beans to restore everyone's energy, he smiled and said to Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, about today's training—Flanders and Yu Xiaogang are both old and a bit confused. You must not report this ridiculous weight-carrying run to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
"As a food-type Soul Master, I can tell you clearly that running only improves physical strength a little at best. Its benefits to Soul Masters are far less than those from soul rings.
"So if you have the time, it's better to practice your soul power. And if you have extra time, work on teamwork—after all, you are already a team now, right?"
Shao Xin's words were sharp and to the point. Unlike Flanders and Yu Xiaogang, he didn't carry that invisible arrogance. Plus, his plump, round figure made it easy for others to like him.
Among all the teachers at Shrek Academy, Shao Xin, the food teacher, was one of the most popular.
Moreover, Shao Xin didn't look very old—at most fifty—and his martial soul was a jelly bean, far more convenient than Oscar's sausage.
In fact, Shao Xin hadn't had Oscar's lucky chance from the original story; otherwise, breaking through to Titled Douluo shouldn't be a big problem for him!
After Ning Rongrong finished eating the candy beans to restore her strength and took a break, she smiled and said, "Teacher Shao, I was just joking before. As the daughter of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect leader, I know well that running doesn't really enhance self-protection for auxiliary spirit masters.
"If it really worked, why don't I see my father running every day? Even someone strong like him always has a Titled Douluo following him closely."
Then Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes and, with Flanders away, said coquettishly, "Teacher Shao, if you have the time, you could visit the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. There aren't many food-type Soul Masters at the Soul Saint level on the continent. If you're willing, I could introduce you to my father.
"Although he isn't a food-type Soul Master, you could still have valuable exchanges with him."
Ning Rongrong thought Shao Xin's talent and strength were excellent. If he had a big sect backing him, he'd surely improve faster.
For Shao Xin, their Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was definitely the best choice.
Besides, it was better than staying at this shabby Shrek Academy, right?
Though called an academy, it was really just a few wooden buildings. Compared to the high-level Soul Master academies she'd seen, it was a huge gap. The only plus was the decent faculty.
But generally, presidents at famous advanced Soul Master academies on the continent were all high-level Soul Saints, and the top ones even headed by powerful Soul Douluos!
And those top academies wouldn't recruit students under twelve years old and above level twenty-five as Shrek did.
Why level twenty-five instead of twenty?
Because they were the only ones who passed the entrance exam!
Ning Rongrong didn't believe that none of the students under twelve with soul power above level 20 could pass the second and third levels!
Either the white-haired old man had raised the difficulty, or they simply never considered students with soul power below 25!
Looking carefully, Shrek Academy's admission criteria were extremely strict—but what was its foundation?
Ning Rongrong felt truly heartbroken.
As the sect leader's daughter, she knew just how eager the sect was for talent beyond auxiliary spirit masters.
Yet Shrek Academy rejected such candidates!
Just thinking about it made her angry!
Shao Xin was already a few decades old, so he naturally caught Ning Rongrong's hint about recruiting him.
He smiled and said, "Alright, I'll definitely visit the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect when I have time."
After saying goodbye, Shao Xin left, his curiosity sated. He now knew who had secretly guided the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's hidden agents to the academy's entrance.
They said Xiao Tian's sword spirit was very clever. Perhaps he took advantage of Yu Xiaogang's distraction to alert the sect's people?
After all, with his many years of life experience, Shao Xin saw the glance exchanged between Ning Rongrong and Xiao Tian just now.
What a cunning little guy!
"Ning Rongrong, why did you invite Teacher Shao but not me? I'm pretty talented too, right?" Oscar felt a bit upset seeing Ning Rongrong invite Shao Xin.
Ning Rongrong glanced at him and said, "Talent isn't everything. Teacher Shao's Sugar Bean Martial Soul is much more convenient than your Sausage Martial Soul, and he's also a Soul Saint. As for you, I don't see what makes you so great—at least not yet."
Oscar's face turned pale and blue after being scolded by Ning Rongrong.
Though he'd had several girlfriends and was confident in his looks, he was no match for Ning Rongrong's sharp words.
He truly was a food-type Soul Master with full innate soul power, but his awakening certificate was missing!
"Hmph, just wait. Once Master recovers in a few days, he'll go to the Star Dou Great Forest to get my third spirit ring. Then I'll definitely amaze you!"
Oscar said proudly.
Seeing Oscar so confident, Xiao Tian secretly complained inwardly. It was funny—after all, it was just a mushroom sausage that let people fly for one minute, and its speed was only that of a thousand-year-old cockatoo.
It might be useful early on, but due to Oscar's limited soul power, he could only make ten sausages at first, saving some power for others. That meant everyone could only fly for one minute, a major limitation.
These could only be used in specific situations at specific moments.
Later, as soul power improved, the mushroom sausage's flying speed and duration fell behind, becoming practically useless.
It was a soul skill neither good nor practical—its recovery effect could improve with the soul master's strength, but overall, it wasn't reliable.
"Let's just wait and see!"
Ning Rongrong ignored Oscar's stubbornness, smiled, and said she had something else to do before leaving.
At that moment, Ning Rongrong was in an extremely happy mood—finally rid of her anger!
