Tuoba Yan felt a surge of pride.
For some reason, he didn't know if he had become twisted.
As his strength gradually increased, he enjoyed the feeling of crushing others and making them fear him.
Or perhaps, this is simply a manifestation of one's own improved cultivation.
Or perhaps his mind wasn't distorted; he was simply enjoying the thrill of increasing his strength.
"Don't panic."
Tuoba Yan reassured him, "This time, I want to forge good relationships!"
"A good connection?" Oscar didn't believe Tuoba Yan's words.
The image of Tuoba Yan as a devil lingered in his mind during the day, even becoming a nightmare for him.
Tuoba Yan spoke as if to himself, saying, "I heard you want to become a combat-type Soul Master?"
Oscar paused for a moment, then nodded.
He truly wanted to become a combat-type Soul Master, but it was too difficult. It was practically impossible for him. His Martial Soul was a sausage, which only allowed him to become a support-type Soul Master. He didn't want to always be protected; he was a man, a man with strong patriarchal values. He wanted to protect others, especially women, rather than be protected himself.
Tuoba Yan said solemnly, "Alright, I'll help you."
Oscar asked in surprise, "You're going to help me?"
"Okay, I'll help you."
"My martial soul is a sausage, how can I become a combat-type soul master?"
"If I say it's possible, then it's possible. I am a six-ring Soul Emperor, possessing two Soul Rings with a lifespan of 100,000 years. Isn't that enough to prove my ability to turn the impossible into the possible?"
"But why did you help me? I'm from Shrek Academy. You severely injured my friend today, so how could I possibly gain anything from you? What kind of person would I be then?"
"Oscar, do you really understand the people around you?"
"I understand."
Do you really understand?
"I understand."
"Answer me one more time." Tuoba Yan turned around, just as he had when he entered the room, and stared at Oscar again, asking, "Do you really understand your companions? Including Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, including Tang San, and especially including the person you love—Ning Rongrong!"
"Rongrong?"
Oscar was lost in thought, pondering why Tuoba Yan had specifically mentioned Ning Rongrong.
Tuoba Yan intensified his attack, saying, "Oscar, let me tell you a secret that many people know, but you are the only one who doesn't."
As he spoke, Tuoba Yan deliberately kept Oscar in suspense, not finishing his story at once.
Sure enough, Oscar asked curiously, "What secret is it that everyone knows, but I don't? What secret?"
Tuoba Yan truthfully stated, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has a sect rule: any Soul Master who awakens the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul must have a combat-type Soul Master as their future spouse. From ancient times to the present, there has never been an exception."
"What did you say?"
"Oscar, don't doubt your suspicions. Yes, Ning Rongrong knows this sect rule. Not only Ning Rongrong knows it, but Dai Mubai, a prince of the Xingluo Empire, also knows it. I'm sure Zhu Zhuqing knows it too. The academy is a place for educating people. I'm sure Grandmaster, Flander, and others know it. Only you don't."
"Why? If what you're saying is true, why would she treat me like this?"
Oscar still couldn't believe that someone was toying with his feelings.
Tuoba Yan chuckled and said, "Oscar, don't you already have the answer in your heart? Ning Rongrong is vain. Seeing others with suitors, she wants to have suitors too. She uses this to prove her charm. She knows perfectly well that according to her sect's rules, it's impossible for her to be with you. Yet she still acquiesced to your pursuit. Why? Because she wants to toy with your feelings; she wants to enjoy the vanity of being cared for and pursued!"
Oscar's expression shifted between light and shadow, and doubts began to creep into his heart.
But he still couldn't accept reality.
He needs time to prove whether what Tuoba Yan said is true.
Tuoba Yan said, "If you want to know if what I said is true, it's very simple. You just need to go to other academies and ask other teachers without making a sound; you can also disguise yourself and go to the shops and sect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to ask if this sect rule exists."
Oscar looked up, his gaze fixed on Tuoba Yan. "Why are you telling me all this?"
Tuoba Yan is skilled in fighting and also in striking people.
Oscar felt that Tuoba Yan hadn't had enough fun during the day, so he wanted to discourage him by telling him these things.
However, Oscar felt it was unnecessary.
He was from a small mountain village, had no sect or faction, and no background. He was just a nobody, and Tuoba Yan had no need to continue to seek superiority from him.
For the strong, defeating other strong individuals brings a greater sense of superiority. How much superiority can one gain from bullying insignificant people, like ants?
If Tuoba Yan wasn't trying to gain a sense of superiority from Oscar, then what was his purpose in returning late at night to talk to him in his room?
Tuoba Yan said, "If you are willing to join the Spirit Hall, I would be very happy to welcome you. Of course, you don't need to express your opinion immediately. You can verify for yourself whether what I say is true or not. In addition, I will give you two gifts."
As he spoke, Tuoba Yan touched the storage soul tool with his fingers, and a ginseng appeared in his hand as the light flashed.
Ginseng is quite peculiar.
Its radiance sometimes transforms into animals, and sometimes into insects.
"This is the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, a divine herb. It is formed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, full of spiritual power, and can transform into various animals or insects. Take it; it matches well with another gift I gave you."
Another gift that Tuoba Yan planned to give Oscar was the Mirror Beast.
The Mirror Beast grants Oscar the ability to copy.
The ability to copy others, the Mirror Image Soul Skill, is inextricably linked to change.
Tuoba Yan guessed that the medicinal effects of the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng and the Mirror Sausage Soul Skill should complement each other and enhance the effect of the Mirror Sausage Soul Skill.
Oscar had heard of medicinal herbs.
People in the countryside are reluctant to see a doctor; they either tough it out or dig up herbs to eat themselves.
Oscar didn't know anything about medicinal herbs, but he could tell that the ginseng in his hand was very valuable.
Ginseng is a precious commodity that people in the countryside are reluctant to eat themselves, but rather sell to improve their lives.
He looked up, puzzled, and asked, "Why are you being so kind to me, giving me ginseng!"
Tuoba Yan chuckled and said, "I beat you up during the day."
Oscar pressed, "And then?"
"Then, if you join the Spirit Hall in the future, you will be one of my people. If my people suffer injustice here, I will not let them suffer in vain." Suddenly, Tuoba Yan said seriously, "Oscar, remember this. If you become one of my people in the future, and I make you suffer injustice, you will have to obediently suffer in return. Afterwards, I will not let you suffer in vain. I will compensate and reward you. As a subordinate, you must be prepared: you raise an army for a thousand days to use it for one day. Do you understand?"
