Chapter 269 Apprenticeship to Oscar
Although Hao Xiaobao's words shocked several people, it makes sense when you think about it carefully.
Xiao Wu did not answer immediately, but moved her gaze to Tang San who had been silent beside her.
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chenxiang also looked over. After all, Tang San still had to make the decision on such a matter.
As the only one of the Shrek Seven Monsters who had accepted a disciple, and a teacher of two, Tang San had the most say in such matters.
He did not reply immediately, looked at Hao Xiaobao and asked, "It's not that simple for you to want to be our disciple."
Hao Xiaobao's talent was really not that high, but neither Tang San nor the rest of the Shrek Seven Devils cared about this.
To put it bluntly, Tang San's eldest disciple Xue Beng's talent was not much different from that of Hao Xiaobao.
Hao Xiaobao rolled his eyes and knew that Tang San did not reject him directly, which meant that this matter was still possible.
She knelt down in front of Tang San with a plop, her upper body slightly bent, and the gray hair on her forehead covered half of her face, casting a shadow on her face.
"I know all this, and I have also thought that with my own abilities and talents, I am far from qualified to be a disciple of the Shrek Seven Monsters, but I don't want to give up. In just two days with my brother and sister, I have become better than before. After 15 years of living, I have learned more about it. This feeling is amazing. Although it fills me with strangeness and fear, I don’t hate it. After the fear, I feel more yearning and curiosity.”
Hao Xiaobao paused, then raised his head and looked directly into Tang San's eyes.
"Brother Tang San, oh, no, Lord Poseidon. If I were an ordinary person, or had a spirit ring like Wanwan's, I wouldn't be able to say this anyway. But my father gave me such a condition, and The opportunity was right in front of me, and I didn’t want it to slip away from me.”
Hao Xiaobao's whole body momentum was rising, and her martial spirit inherited Haote's Snow Soul Demonic Bear.In the frozen forest with a low climate and even in the entire Silvis Kingdom, martial spirits like the Snow Demon Bear are famous for both their attack and defense capabilities.
She was trembling all over. She didn't know whether it was excitement or frightened by her sudden aura. She was covered in cold sweat.
But despite this, Hao Xiaobao remained unmoved as he knelt there, his body straightened even more, gritting his teeth and persisting.
Tang San sighed and reached out to help her up.
"You'd better stabilize your soul power first, and then let's talk about this matter."
Hao Xiaobao was a little frustrated. What did this answer mean? Rejection?
But think about it, how could you become a disciple of the Shrek Seven Monsters?It's simply a fool's dream.
"......it is good."
Following Tang San's instructions, Hao Xiaobao sat cross-legged and circulated the soul power in his body.
Although she had not officially enrolled in the Soul Master Academy, Haote had taught her carefully what she needed to know.
This is also very contradictory. Haote guided Hao Xiaobao to develop into a soul master, but did not allow her to go to the academy to study systematically.
"Brother, what do you mean? Do you want to accept it or not?"
The four girls all came together, waiting for Tang San's next words. Hao Xiaobao's words just now moved them quite a bit, but in the end it still depends on what Tang San meant.
Tang San flicked Xiao Wu's head, "Don't worry, let her stabilize her soul power first. Can't you see it? Xiaobao's soul power has been upgraded by one level."
Upgraded a level?
Just now, the four people's attention was focused on Tang San, and they didn't notice the change in Hao Xiaobao's soul power at all. Even if her momentum surged, in their eyes, they thought it was Hao Xiaobao who didn't do anything to encourage themselves. Consciously releasing your soul power.
Turning their heads to Hao Xiaobao, a few people glanced at him and clearly understood Hao Xiaobao's current situation.
It has indeed been upgraded one level, it is already level 21, and it is even continuing to climb towards level 22.
Is this a coincidence for Hao Xiaobao?Or was Tang San just blessed with good luck?
Can you level up just by chatting?If it were that simple, they could chat with Tang San every day, as long as Xiao Wu agreed.
For a few of them, they would definitely not attribute this to any coincidence, everything happened as a matter of course.According to Hao Xiaobao, Haote was the second soul ring that she obtained four months ago.
It took four months to reach one level, which was already very slow according to the cultivation speed of Tang San and others.
"Third brother, do you think it's because Xiaobao has been thinking about Brother Haote and is in a low mood, so he suppresses his soul power and does not release it."
Bai Chenxiang watched as Hao Xiaobao's soul power continued to rise, as if it had reached level 22.
It definitely couldn't be some kind of talking practice. If there really was such a technique, then his grandfather wouldn't have broken through to the Titled Douluo at this age.
Tang San nodded, agreeing with Bai Chenxiang's guess.
"Xiangxiang's conjecture is very reasonable. I don't know much about martial arts like the Snow Soul Demon Bear, but according to my father and Xiao Ao, they are very powerful. However, Xiaobao's body is not strong enough, so he may not be able to regain his soul power. Upgrade immediately after reaching it, and Brother Haote disappeared one month after obtaining the soul ring, which will definitely affect the progress of cultivation."
Everyone understood what Tang San meant. Hao Xiaobao's own soul power reserves had already reached the upgrade mark. It was just that she was too weak to support such a powerful martial spirit. Coupled with her depressed mood, it was only then that she Wait until now.
In this situation, Zhu Zhuqing is the one who has the most say among the people.
Dai Mubai's second brother, Dai Chongning, was weak due to premature birth, and the evil-eyed white tiger martial spirit was extremely powerful, so his body could not support him at all.In order to ensure survival, I had to give up practicing.
The Snow Soul Demonic Bear Martial Spirit is also in the same situation for a slender girl like Hao Xiaobao.
"Brother, do you plan to accept Xiaobao?"
Hao Xiaobao's absorption didn't seem to be very smooth, and her whole body's momentum rose several levels. From around her, she could vaguely hear the roar of bears, which must have been her martial spirit.
Xiao Wu was afraid of disturbing Hao Xiaobao, so she pulled Tang San away.
Tang San smiled and touched Xiao Wu's braid, "You little idiot, what does this have to do with me? Even if Xiao Bao really wants to become a disciple of our Shrek Seven Monsters, he is still under Xiao Ao's sect. It’s my business.”
Thinking about it carefully, what Tang San said makes sense. Among them, the one who has the closest relationship with Hao Xiaobao and knows the Snow Soul Demonic Bear martial spirit best is not Tang San, but Oscar, who has been practicing here for several years.
Even if Hao Xiaobao really wanted to become a disciple, he should have asked other people. There is absolutely no reason for him to accept a disciple over Oscar.
It happened that Hao Xiaobao needed to condense the soul power impact level, Tang San also wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the matter first, and wait until Oscar and the others came back to discuss it together.
With Tang San and five others guarding Hao Xiaobao, she would naturally have no problems.
Not getting a clear answer, Hao Xiaobao was indeed a little discouraged, but she quickly adjusted.
It's just like their restaurant. There will definitely be people who don't like the dishes, but they can't deny the deliciousness of the dishes themselves.
It was with this simple truth that Hao Xiaobao overcame the awkwardness in her heart, and even strengthened her belief that she must grow into a powerful enough soul master to be worthy of the care and guidance given to her by the Shrek Seven Devils these past two days. .
It is precisely because of this idea that Hao Xiaobao's short-term practice went very smoothly. The initial discomfort quickly disappeared completely. In the end, Hao Xiaobao was completely enjoying the process of soul power.
By the time Hao Xiaobao opened his eyes, it was already night.
The three Oscars didn't know when they came back. No one bothered Hao Xiaobao, but started preparing sausages for the evening. Ma Hongjun even took advantage of the time they left to fly back to Xicheng to buy a lot of food and put it in Liuhuo Brought it back.
What a joke, he is not willing to let him eat Oscar's big sausage all day long.
"Xiaobao, you have practiced well. Not bad, not bad. You are already level 23." This is much better than Xiao Wu imagined.
Oscar handed the sausage he was flipping and roasting to Dai Mubai, and he walked up to Hao Xiaobao with a very serious look on his face.
Hao Xiaobao's heart suddenly went cold and he said worriedly, "Brother Xiao Ao, it's my dad..."
Before he finished speaking, Oscar waved his hand quickly, "No, no, we haven't heard from Brother Haote yet, so don't think too much about it. I have something I want to ask you."
Hao Xiaobao was suspicious, but saw that the brothers and sisters next to him had put down what they were doing, and all their eyes were on him.
Oscar took a deep breath and seemed to have made a lot of determination when he said the next words.
"Hao Xiaobao, let me ask you, do you really want to become a disciple of the Shrek Seven Monsters?"
Hearing this, Hao Xiaobao's cold heart became excited again. There was silence around her, and she could hear the rapid beating of her heart in her chest.
She knelt down beside Oscar with a plop, and kowtowed heavily, "I am willing, please accept me, teacher."
Oscar's heart moved. After he returned from the depths of the forest, he first saw Hao Xiaobao practicing, and then listened to Tang San tell what happened.
There was a faint impulse in his heart.
Since Hao Xiaobao has already made such a request, if possible, he really hopes that Hao Xiaobao can choose him.
But after taking a look at Tang San and then at Hao Xiaobao whose soul power was constantly rising, Oscar still secretly sighed.
He patted Tang San on the shoulder and said sincerely, "Xiao San, please take good care of Xiao Bao. She may not be as talented as Ji Xiang, but for my sake, I hope you can accept her. It's really not possible." Can I take care of her life from now on?"
Tang San's teaching ability is obvious to everyone. Ji Xiang has now become a leader among spirit masters of his age. He is very solid in the ghost shadow and Xuantian skills, and has a bit of Tang San's former style.
Although Xue Beng didn't receive much guidance from Tang San in soul power cultivation, he became more comfortable in governing the country. A nominal disciple could reach the position of king of a country, which shows Tang San's ability.
Whether it was avalanche or auspiciousness, Hao Xiaobao was far from Tang San's disciple in every aspect.
But Oscar knew how much psychological struggle Hao Xiaobao had gone through when he said those words, and he also knew how much smoother Hao Xiaobao's future cultivation would be if he could become Tang San's disciple. Thinking of Haote and She Yue, Oscar still stayed with Tang San. Three opened this mouth.
Tang San was startled. He didn't expect that Oscar had never thought about being Hao Xiaobao's teacher, and that he would actually give in to this point. He was responsible for her daily life, and just wanted him to accept her.
"Xiao Ao, I can't help it. Xiao Bao, she..."
Before Tang San finished speaking, he was interrupted by Oscar.
He stepped forward, grabbing Tang San's arms with both hands, "Xiao San, although her qualifications are mediocre, I guarantee that she will be obedient!"
Oscar didn't know where he got the strength, but just hearing the first half of Tang San's words made his heart beat wildly.
No, now that Hao Xiaobao has spoken, he will try his best to fulfill her wish.
Seeing that Tang San wouldn't let go no matter what, Oscar was a little discouraged. Yes, he had no reason to force Tang San to accept a disciple. It didn't make sense.
Oscar's eyes fell on Dai Mubai again. Now he was second only to Tang San in strength among them. If Dai Mubai was willing, that would be fine.
Before Oscar came over, Dai Mubai quickly waved his hand and took a step back, keeping distance from Oscar. The meaning was self-evident.
"Xiao Ao, it's not that I don't agree with you as a brother, but haven't you ever thought that you are also a member of the Shrek Seven Monsters?"
Tang San didn't point it out because he hoped Oscar would have the confidence and courage in his heart, but who knew that looking at his expression, he was determined to entrust Hao Xiaobao to them.
Dai Mubai didn't expect to see his brother become like this, so he bluntly stated their intentions.
Oscar's mouth was open and speechless, his feet were frozen in place, and his silver hair hung down, covering his eyes, making it impossible to see Oscar's reaction at this time.
"Me? I, I can't."
Oscar's voice was muffled, no one expected him to say such words.
Ning Rongrong bit her lip and watched, her eyes red. She understood the tangle in his heart at this moment.
"Xiao Ao, what nonsense are you talking about! Why can't you do it? You are the youngest food-type titled Douluo in the Douluo Continent! You have also been favored by the God of Cookery and are the successor chosen by the God of Cookery! Why can't you do it!"
Ma Hongjun came up from behind and hit Oscar on the chest hard. How could this guy say such a thing!
At that time in the academy, he thought he had adjusted him well, but he didn't expect that he would be like this again after coming here.
Oscar's face turned red from holding back, and he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed. He sat on the ground dejectedly, holding his hands on both sides of his head to block everyone's sight.
At least he doesn't want to see other people's eyes now.
He doesn't know what's wrong with him?
He had obviously agreed that in order not to cause trouble to Rongrong and everyone else, he felt that he would not show such a fragile side of himself, so why couldn't he hold it back?
Everyone told him that the God of Cookery and the Nine-Colored Goddess had not come to pass down the inheritance until now because they were training their character, but such training was a constant torment for Oscar.
In fact, his inner inferiority has never completely dissipated. Hidden under the cheerful appearance is a soft and fragile heart.
Among the seven monsters, he always felt that everyone was stronger than him. Even Bai Chenxiang, who was with them behind, accepted the Seagod Dragon's soul ring and soul bone, and his physique directly entered the demigod realm.
Needless to say, Tang San Xiaowu, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul fusion skills are amazing, and Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda is rare in the world. As for Ma Hongjun, he originally thought that he was the same as himself, but in the journey to the God Realm Later, he had been reborn as the Phoenix King, and even his martial soul had become a real Phoenix.
How could he be calm in such a comparison?
This feeling became more and more heavy, and it was finally exposed by everyone at this moment.
The look of confusion made Oscar almost not want to stay here.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he always felt that the shadow of a vacancy in his heart was getting bigger and bigger, especially after Wu Yi died in battle, that feeling became more and more obvious.
Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to tell Qian Renxue to take the body away.
That was not his intention at all!
"Xiao Ao..."
Ning Rongrong walked forward with some worry, hesitated for a moment, knelt down next to Oscar and held his hand.
She could feel Oscar's hands shaking and his soft sobs. Everyone else knew about it, but no one told him.
In this silvery frozen forest, in full view of everyone, everyone held up a space for Os.
Ning Rongrong held Oscar in her arms, tears flowing uncontrollably.
She knows only too well how much Oscar has sacrificed to get to this point.
Dai Mubai also wanted to say something, but Zhu Zhuqing took his hand and shook his head at him.
His eyes fell back to the two people hugging each other in front of him, with distress in his eyes.
"At this time, let Rongrong accompany Xiao Ao."
A few boys may not be sure, but Ning Rongrong is also feeling the same distress.
Did the Goddess of Nine Colors choose herself because she was capable enough, or was it because the God of Cookery chose Oscar first, and the Goddess of Nine Colors had no choice but to choose herself in order to inherit the legacy with her lover?
This kind of thought has been swirling in Ning Rongrong's mind for a while. She talked with Xiao Wu and the other three, and what she got was similar to what Ma Hongjun told Oscar.
Although they looked calmer on the surface, they mostly didn't want everyone to worry about them. As for whether they were relieved in their hearts, only the two parties involved truly knew.
From dawn to dusk, Oscar finally calmed down. He raised his head and gently wiped away the tears on Ning Rongrong's face.
Looking at Tang San and the others, everyone was busy with their own things, and no one asked either of them a word.
This reaction made Oscar smile, "Thank you, brothers."
"Thank you for what? Did something happen? You, hurry up and get some sausages out, everyone is hungry."
Dai Mubai greeted Oscar and got up to prepare dinner. Zhu Zhuqing also pulled Ning Rongrong up to help light the fire.
There was a tacit agreement among the few people not to talk about what had just happened.
"Xiao Bao is about to wake up, Xiao Ao, do you want to be her teacher? If you don't want to, I will."
Ma Hongjun curled his lips. He knew Oscar well, so he had to be forced to get an unexpected reaction.
"You go ahead, I still have to do this!"
"Hey, who are you asking to go aside?" Although Ma Hongjun's tone sounded like he was choking Oscar, the smile on his face could not be concealed.
Later, the apprenticeship went very smoothly. Under the witness of the Shrek Seven Monsters, Hao Xiaobao officially became Oscar's disciple.
"Teacher, please accept my disciple's bow."
Hao Xiaobao kowtowed heavily to Oscar. She also knew in her heart that if it weren't for her relationship with Xiao Ao's brother, she wouldn't be able to achieve her wish so easily, and the one she wanted to choose from the beginning was Oscar.
"Xiaobao, get up."
Ning Rongrong helped Hao Xiaobao up, and Oscar couldn't suppress the smile on his lips. He hugged Tang San, with stars twinkling in his eyes.
"Xiao San, it turns out it feels so good to be a teacher."
Tang San nodded and responded to his words.
"The feeling of being a teacher is indeed wonderful, but you must also bear the responsibility, Xiao Ao. From now on, Xiao Bao's future will be left to you."
"Don't worry, as her brother and teacher, I will definitely teach her well."
Even if he is just a food-based soul master.
In the next half month, Hao Xiaobao and Oscar were completely tied together.
Whether they are practicing or going out to look for traces of Haote, the master and the disciple are always together.
Oscar was also very concerned about Hao Xiaobao and often discussed with Tang San how to teach his disciples.
Seeing Oscar's cautious and serious look, Xiao Wu couldn't help but tease, "Xiao Ao, why do you look so nervous? This is not like your usual style."
Uncharacteristically, Oscar did not respond with a smile, but looked serious.
"Xiao Wu, I must be responsible for Xiaobao's future."
Tang San was very pleased, he was relieved that Oscar could have such a realization.
As a teacher, you should indeed be responsible for the future of your students.
He is no longer worried about the avalanche, but Jixiang doesn't know what's going on now, and still hopes that he can work harder. After all, if he goes to the God Realm in the future, the burden of the Tang Sect may be handed over to him.
