Chapter 168
Tang Sect, Strength Clan
(TL by Bagelson)
Oscar didn’t hide it either, in his heart, Ning Fengzhi was his future father in law.
“My sixth spirit ability comes from a twenty thousand year Mirror Image Beast, the effect is duplication. As long as I have a drop of blood from a Spirit Master, I can create a clone mirror sausage through my spirit ability. After anyone uses it, they will possess the spirit abilities of the blood donor Spirit Master at seventy percent strength for three minutes. If the user’s spirit power level isn’t equal to the donor’s, then, they can only duplicate the spirit abilities up to that level. In other words, if little San was seventieth rank, and I sixtieth rank, then I could only duplicate the spirit abilities within the first sixty ranks, and not use the seventieth spirit ability, Spirit Avatar. You’re right, I already have a spirit bone, my luck was good, this spirit bone is also from that Mirror Image Beast, the ability is Mirror Doppelgänger, the Doppelgänger will possess eighty percent of my strength when I use it. At the same time, this spirit bone will increase the effect of the clone mirror sausage for me by ten percent, raising the strength of the cloned abilities from seventy to eighty percent.”
Whether Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, or Tang San, Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong, everyone listened very earnestly. Hearing Oscar’s explanation, Ning Fengzhi exhaled slowly,
“Luck will always befall those prepared, this isn’t as simple as a matter of luck. In these five years, you’ve actually invested more than I could imagine. Oscar, now I’ll give you a choice. Little San told me that he’s preparing to establish a sect called Tang Sect. But I don’t want you to enter this sect, but return with me to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School needs your talent. As long as you return with me, I’ll agree to you and Rongrong.”
“Dad——”
Ning Rongrong protested resentfully.
Ning Fengzhi’s expression immediately turned solemn,
“Girl, this relates to the prosperity of the sect. Before, Oscar didn’t have the strength to protect you, but since he does now, I’ll cultivate him even better. Have him enter the sect, work for the sect, this will reduce the resistance to the two of you by a lot.”
Hearing Ning Fengzhi’s words, Oscar couldn’t help looking distracted. He was also an intelligent person. He understood clearly that Ning Fengzhi was having him choose between his feelings for his brother Tang San and for Ning Rongrong.
Just at this moment, Tang San’s tiny voice echoed by Oscar’s ear,
“Hurry up and agree with uncle ning, this is your best chance. You’ve been out learning from experience for five years, what was all these years of effort for? Even if you’re at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, we’ll still be brothers.”
Oscar looked in Tang San’s direction, saw the meaningful look Tang San gave him. He knew that Tang San had just now compressed his voice to a string to remind him, the reason he didn’t speak openly, was because he hoped he could easier obtain Ning Fengzhi’s approval.
Turning his head, his gaze fell on Ning Rongrong’s face. Ning Rongrong’s expression was clearly somewhat complex, also somewhat perplexed. She of course hoped to be together with Oscar, but she also didn’t want the feelings between the two of them to affect the relationship of the Shrek Seven Devils.
Oscar’s gaze finally returned to Ning Fengzhi, gently shaking his head,
“I’m sorry, sect master Ning, I can’t agree to your request.”
“Little Ao——”
Tang San anxiously called out.
Oscar raised his hand at Tang San, blocking him from speaking further, saying to Ning Fengzhi:
“Uncle ning, I love Rongrong, I want to love her with my all. But, Tang San is my brother. Even if he’s a heaven warping genius, I admit I’m not his equal, right now is when he needs my assistance the most, when he needs brothers the most. Whether for vengeance against Spirit Hall, or to resurrect Xiao Wu, none are easy matters. If I chose to leave him for Rongrong now, I’m afraid I couldn’t forgive myself in all my life. But at the same time I don’t want to give up on Rongrong, I will definitely use my own way to move you, there will definitely be a day when you agree to let me and Rongrong be together.”
Ning Fengzhi watched Oscar with a strict gaze. Oscar’s calmly returned his gaze. Having said his peace, his heart was entirely free from worry. Brothers and lovers were equally important, he absolutely wouldn’t give up on any one of them.
Gradually, Ning Fengzhi’s gaze softened, smiling faintly,
“Oscar, even though your answer is very cunning, I have no choice but to admit that this is the most perfect answer I could hope for. A man who gave up his comrades for women, wouldn’t be worthy of trust. You’ve already moved me. Properly help little San. I hope to see the glory of you Shrek Seven Devils again.”
Oscar looked dumbstruck at Ning Fengzhi, then understood. What he said just now was only a test for him.
“Sect master Ning, then you agree to me and Rongrong?”
Ning Fengzhi’s brows wrinkled slightly,
“You’re still calling me sect master Ning?”
It might be from excitement, but Oscar’s response was also a bit quick, blurting out,
“Father in law.”
Seeing Oscar’s excited appearance, Ning Fengzhi laughed in spite of himself,
“That’s also a bit too early. Call me like little San does.”
Oscar somewhat awkwardly scratched his head, then called him uncle Ning. When he called him father in law, Ning Rongrong had already turned around and run away from embarrassment. She and Oscar had already obtained her father’s approval, there wasn’t anything else to worry about.
Ning Fengzhi didn’t let Tang San and the others see him off, and directly disappeared from the forest with Gu Rong, Oscar still with a foolishly giggling appearance.
“Fine, if you smile more your mouth will reach your ears.”
Ma Hongjun said, not without jealousy.
Oscar returned to his senses. Five years had passed, and he hadn’t felt so relaxed in a very long time. Grinning, he said:
“You’re jealous. Ge can finally be together with Rongrong openly. Tonight I’m buying, we’re not coming back before we’re drunk. Oh, right, call dean Flender, Grandmaster, teacher Erlong, teacher Zhao Wuji and the others. I haven’t seen them for five years, I’ve really missed them.”
At nightfall, Tang San quietly lay on his bed, his face expressing a slight smile.
He was reluctant to disperse his tipsiness with inner strength. This night, five of the Shrek Seven Devils had met again, and everyone had a lot of wine. Oscar also told a lot of his stories. Since he had returned safely, everyone were extremely excited.
However, after the excitement, carrying Xiao Wu back to the room, Tang San still couldn’t help being despondent. He wished Oscar and Ning Rongrong all the best, but the more he saw those lovers finding a way to be together, the more he would think of Xiao Wu’s appearance when she sacrificed herself for him.
Sticking his face to Xiao Wu’s soft fur, smelling her faint fragrance, Tang San’s heart shuddered violently.
Rabbit form Xiao Wu rubbed against his head. Enjoying the feeling of pressing close to Tang San. This night, extraordinarily didn’t cultivate, in his dreams he only combed the hair of that long scorpion braided young woman.
The next morning, Tang San left the Shrek Academy. Today he would complete what he put off with Oscar’s return yesterday. Since he’d resolved to do it, he’d grasp time and go get it done.
Outside of the Shrek Academy, Tang San always walked towards the south part of Heaven Dou City. He didn’t worry about being recognized. After all, even if it was Spirit Hall, there were only a handful of people who had seen his new appearance. Even drawings wouldn’t have passed to Heaven Dou City so quickly.
South district. Tang San halted in front of a mansion.
Judging by the exterior, this mansion occupied an enormous area, with thick and solid walls more than four meters high. In fact, even nobles wouldn’t be allowed to raise such tall walls.
The mansion gate house was even more than six meters tall. Somewhat hilariously, in front of this mansion gate towered two stone statues, and these two stone statues were in the shape of orangutans, just like small versions of the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming.
In front of the large gate stood two tall and robust men. They were both more than two meters tall, and the black skin tight clothing they wore didn’t hide their sturdy muscles in the least. They stood there just like two door gods[1], valiantly and spiritedly overlooking the pedestrians coming and going on the street.
Above this mansion gate hung an inscribed board, with only one word, Strength.
This was also the first time Tang San came here. Stepping forward with large strides, he stopped in front of the mansion gate.
“I’ll trouble the two of you to inform senior Tai Tan, that an old friend is visiting.”
The two big men looked expressionlessly at Tang San, sizing him up a few times, one of them spoke in a deep voice:
“Wait a moment.”
Finished speaking, he turned around and entered the gate.
When he pushed open the gate, Tang San saw that the gate was at least two chi thick, extremely massive. He couldn’t help being secretly speechless. Truly worthy of being the Strength Clan, without enough strength, perhaps even opening the gate would be impossible.
Right, the place Tang San had found was just the Strength Clan with the Great Strength Orangutan spirit. Once one of the four great subsidiary clans of the Clear Sky School, also the clan directly subordinate to Tang Hao back then.
Before the start of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, the Great Strength God Tai Tan had once invited Tang San to visit the Strength Clan, but at that time Tang San was busy cultivating, and never had time to visit. He was preparing to establish the
