—------------------—
After Ning Rongrong's figure completely disappeared, Yu Xiaogang's gaze remained at the end of the street, and her words just now echoed repeatedly in his mind.
Especially the two names "Oscar" and "Xue Tianxing" were like two thorns in his heart.
He turned to look at Flanders and asked anxiously:
"By the way, what about Oscar and Xue Tianxing that Ning Rongrong just mentioned? Are they really that powerful?"
Flanders sighed, sorted out his thoughts, and slowly explained:
"The Oscar that Ning Rongrong mentioned was a former student at Shrek Academy.
That kid is no simple matter. He has a rare innate full soul power among food-type martial souls. His martial soul is sausage, and he can make all kinds of sausages with special effects.
Later, he met Xue Tianxing from the Barak Kingdom. With the help of Xue Tianxing, he used some unknown method to solve the problem of the slow training speed of the food-type martial spirit.
Not long ago, I received a message from him saying that he had broken through to the 41st level Soul Sect, which is faster than the students in our academy now."
When talking about walking in the snow, Flanders' tone was even more emotional:
"As for Xue Tianxing, it's even more incredible.
He is the little prince of the Barak Kingdom. He has awakened the Ice Phoenix martial spirit and also has innate full soul power.
"And his training speed is astonishingly fast. I learned from a friend in the Barak Kingdom last month that he had just turned twelve and had already broken through to the fifty-fourth level of Soul King. Such talent is unmatched in the entire Douluo Continent."
After hearing this, Yu Xiaogang fell silent instantly.
He hung his hands, frowned tightly, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
Oscar, a Soul Master at the age of fourteen, and Xue Tianxing, a Soul King at the age of twelve—the talents behind these two names far exceeded his expectations.
After a moment, Yu Xiaogang suddenly raised his head, a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes, and said to Flender:
"Flender, you and Oscar have a teacher-student relationship. Is there any way to get him to return to Shrek Academy?
If such a talented auxiliary spirit master stayed in the academy, he would not only help other students improve, but also provide more powerful help to Xiao San."
Flanders couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this.
As an old friend who had known Yu Xiaogang for decades, he saw through Yu Xiaogang's thoughts at a glance - he simply wanted Oscar to assist Tang San and pave the way for his "perfect disciple".
Flanders refused bluntly:
"Impossible! Oscar graduated from Shrek a long time ago and is now living a good life in the Barak Kingdom. How could he possibly come back?
Moreover, he is now the grandson-in-law of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, who treats him like his own grandson. The Barak Kingdom has also provided him with the best training resources. Why would he give up everything he has now and return to our shabby academy? "
"Did you come back just to assist your disciple Tang San?"
Although Flanders didn't say this out loud, the dissatisfaction in his tone was evident.
The expectation on Yu Xiaogang's face faded away in an instant, replaced by a deep regret.
He knew that what Flanders said was true, Oscar really had no reason to come back, and he could only secretly regret in his heart - if there was such an auxiliary spirit master by Tang San's side, Tang San's growth rate would definitely be faster.
Soon, his attention shifted to Xue Tianxing again.
The twelve-year-old Soul King is the same age as Tang San, but his soul power is more than twenty levels higher than Tang San. This is hard for Yu Xiaogang, who thinks he is "the one who understands soul master theory best in the entire continent", to accept.
He asked Flanders again for confirmation:
"Flander, is the news about Xue Tianxing being a twelve-year-old Soul King true? Could it be that the Barak Kingdom deliberately exaggerated it to create hype?"
Flanders nodded firmly:
"Absolutely true! The news is absolutely reliable. Xue Tianxing not only has a high level of soul power, but also a very powerful martial soul. Even Poison Douluo and the newly promoted Sword Cold Douluo Liu Tianfeng are full of praise for him.
Honestly, this child is the 'monster' we at Shrek Academy have always been pursuing. His talent is truly immense. It's a shame he's destined not to be able to come to Shrek Academy."
After getting Flanders' affirmation, Yu Xiaogang's face instantly turned ugly.
He has always believed that his theory is the most correct, and Tang San, a person with twin martial souls and innate full soul power, is the "perfect carrier" he carefully selected. He will definitely become the strongest among the younger generation, proving that his years of research have not been in vain.
Before this, he could still comfort himself by saying "Oscar has practiced two years longer than Tang San", but Xue Tianxing is the same age as Tang San, but has already reached the Soul King realm, which dealt an unprecedented blow to his self-confidence.
"How is it possible... How could someone be stronger than Xiao San..."
Yu Xiaogang muttered to himself, his eyes full of disbelief and unwillingness.
He thought of every step of the training plan he had made for Tang San, and the time when the two of them studied soul master theory day and night. The obsession in his heart became stronger and stronger - he must make Tang San stronger, surpass Xue Tianxing, and prove that his theory is the only truth of soul master training.
Flanders looked at Yu Xiaogang's distraught appearance and patted him on the shoulder gently:
"Xiao Gang, don't overthink it. Talent is certainly important, but hard work and proper guidance are even more crucial. Tang San's talent isn't bad either. As long as he practices according to your plan, he might be able to surpass them in the future."
That being said, Flanders knew very well in his heart that there was no chance of this happening.
Yu Xiaogang slowly raised his head, his eyes rekindled with fighting spirit:
"You're right! Xiao San's twin martial spirits have infinite potential. As long as I give him enough time, I will definitely be able to train him into the strongest spirit master!"
But he himself didn't realize that there was a hint of urgency and paranoia in his tone.
Night fell completely and lights came on on the streets of Soto City.
Flanders and Yu Xiaogang walked back to Shrek Academy side by side, each with their own thoughts.
Yu Xiaogang's mind was full of how to improve Tang San's strength and surpass Xue Tianxing and Oscar; while Flanders was worried that Ning Rongrong's departure would bring trouble to the academy, and he was also secretly worried about Yu Xiaogang's obsession.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong was already on her way to the Kingdom of Barak.
She didn't know that her words would cause such a huge stir in Yu Xiaogang's heart.
Ning Rongrong rode at full speed all the way and soon arrived at Barak City.
She was very familiar with this familiar city. She didn't even need the guards to inform her. Relying on the palace guards' familiarity with her, she walked straight into the Barak Palace and headed towards the martial arts field.
From a distance, she heard the sound of soul power colliding from the martial arts field.
As I got closer, I saw Xue Tianxing, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Oscar, and Dugu Yan practicing in the field. Xue Tianxing and Shui Bing'er were coordinating their martial soul fusion skills, while the shadow of an ice phoenix hovered in the sky, chilling the air.
Oscar kept making sausages to replenish the soul power of several people; Dugu Yan was practicing skills with Shui Yue'er, and the scene was very lively.
