The next morning, after a night of hard work, Dugu Feng and Ning Rongrong walked into the hotel lobby and had breakfast with the other Shrek Five Monsters and Bai Chenxiang.
Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Bai Chenxiang, and Ning Rongrong sat together. They noticed that Ning Rongrong's skin was fair with a rosy glow, shimmering like jade—simply radiant.
All three sighed inwardly, thinking that being nourished by a boyfriend really made a difference.
But even the talkative Xiao Wu didn't dare tease Ning Rongrong, because Ning Rongrong wasn't one to take things lying down. If she were to retort with a few words about Xiao Wu and Tang San, it would only make Xiao Wu uncomfortable.
The eight of them quietly finished their breakfast.
After the meal, they immediately left Vast Sea City.
Arriving at a secluded spot, Dugu Feng and the other six consumed their Flying Mushroom Sausages, while Bai Chenxiang activated her Martial Soul Avatar, revealing her Sharp-tailed Swift. Then, everyone took to the skies, speeding toward Heaven Dou City.
Oscar couldn't help but boast: "With my current Soul Power, plus Rongrong's enhancement, I can keep you flying for quite a while now.
From now on, we won't have to be as stingy as before, reluctant to use Flying Sausages!
I'm a Soul Saint—this Third Soul Skill barely consumes any Soul Power at all!"
Oscar's bragging drew disdain from everyone.
With so many Soul Douluos present, what right did a mere Soul Saint have to boast?
Bai Chenxiang's speed was far beyond that of the Flying Mushroom Sausages, transforming into a black streak as she scouted ahead, like a silent mockery.
Unfazed, Oscar continued to boast: "A Support System Soul Master like me is one in ten thousand.
Rongrong even recruited me to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Only Ning Zongzhu knows true talent. In a major battle, a support like me is the key to victory!
Once I become the deputy leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I'll hold a high position and great authority. Don't come begging me for favors later!"
Dugu Feng, flying at the very front, thought to himself that Oscar still couldn't escape joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to toil away.
Among the seven monsters, aside from Tang San, Oscar was the most cunning. He was well aware that his support abilities would inevitably draw the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's wariness, leaving him no choice but to join.
People strive for higher ground, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was a stage ample enough for him to showcase his talents.
Before, he and Ma Hongjun had considered seeking refuge with Dai Mubai to enjoy a life of luxury in the Star Luo Empire.
But the sudden destruction of the Star Luo Empire completely dashed Oscar's unrealistic fantasies.
"Xiao Ao, you're quite impressive. I have a few younger female cousins around your age—I'll introduce them to you later. If you happen to take a liking to each other, it'll settle your lifelong matters!" Ning Rongrong said with a giggle.
Oscar's Sausage Martial Soul was exceptionally gifted, and its greatest value undoubtedly lay in establishing a lineage, continuously producing new Soul Masters with the Sausage Martial Soul.
It would become a branch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
This was also a development strategy for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Rongrong was quite thrilled to have secured Oscar with minimal effort. Her father had once evaluated Oscar's Martial Soul, believing that the Sausage Martial Soul was no less effective in support than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Once Oscar joined, in just a few decades, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would gain another Trump Martial Soul lineage.
When Ma Hongjun heard Ning Rongrong was going to introduce a clan sister to Oscar, his eyes immediately lit up. "Rongrong, you can't play favorites like that!"
"Tch, aren't you still chasing after your Sister Chenxiang?" Xiao Wu mocked.
Ma Hongjun instantly deflated, letting out a couple of awkward chuckles before falling silent.
Bai Chenxiang came from the Min Clan, which had a very close relationship with the Clear Sky Sect.
Tang San and Bai Chenxiang were also cousins.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was good, and the Sword Douluo had just broken through, becoming the strongest on Heaven Dou's side.
But the Clear Sky Sect was also powerful, with many Titled Douluos. As the number one sect in the world, the key was that they had Tang San, a potential stock. Ma Hongjun had already made his choice in his heart—to cling to Tang San's thigh.
His future development definitely wouldn't lag far behind Oscar's.
Ma Hongjun's silence already represented his choice.
Dugu Feng also knew that Zhu Zhuqing had already discussed with Ning Rongrong and would also join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
With the Star Luo Empire gone, the Zhu Family would need to develop within the Heaven Dou Empire in the future. Joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School because of Ning Rongrong was the most correct choice.
Now, among the Shrek Six Devils, on the surface, it was Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Xiao Wu on one side, and Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Oscar on the other.
Tang San and Ning Rongrong, these two with status, directly recruited the others into their respective sects.
After this trip to Poseidon Island, the Shrek group was truly going to part ways.
At least, that's how it seemed to Dugu Feng. As the continent's situation deteriorated, different choices would surely lead to different futures.
Such thoughts were actually crystal clear among the Shrek Six Devils, but no one would voice them. After cultivating together for so many years, there was still affection between them.
Moreover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Clear Sky Sect were on the same united front, so everyone felt less distressed psychologically.
However, Dugu Feng could only wish Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Xiao Wu good luck, hoping they would contribute more in the fight against the Spirit Hall in the future.
The group flew for a while longer, with Bai Chenxiang continuously acting as a scout, gathering intelligence about their surroundings.
Suddenly, they discovered that along the way, there were many Spirit Hall scouts.
It seemed they were conducting a rigorous search for something!
After some discussion, the group decided not to stir up trouble. At this sensitive time, with too many and too powerful enemies, it wasn't suitable to act rashly.
The group took many detours, quietly making their way toward Heaven Dou City.
Through the Emerald Dragon Snake, Dugu Feng found out the purpose of these Spirit Hall Soul Masters with perfect clarity.
They were still searching for a 100,000-Year Soul Beast.
But this time, the other side had a specific target.
According to the intelligence obtained by the Spirit Hall, a 100,000-Year Soul Beast had transformed into human form and hidden within the human world, and its current strength wasn't that high.
Finding it would be a great achievement.
These Soul Masters were all searching for suspicious individuals.
Dugu Feng glanced at Xiao Wu and immediately understood this was targeting her.
And the source of the Spirit Hall's information was very likely Tang Hao.
For now, they were only saying a 100,000-Year Soul Beast had transformed into human form. At a critical moment in the future, they would reveal that it was Xiao Wu by Tang San's side.
Then, they would force Tang San and Xiao Wu into a life-threatening crisis, ultimately leading to Xiao Wu's sacrifice and Tang San advancing to Titled Douluo.
Such calculations were far too obvious.
Dugu Feng suddenly thought of a possibility. In the original storyline, during the Spirit Hall's Soul Duel, when Xiao Wu's Lovesickness Heartbreak Red suddenly fell off, perhaps there was more to the story.
After all, Xiao Wu wasn't a fool. How could she not secure such an important means of hiding her identity firmly?
It just so happened that she fell down right after the battle ended, allowing others to discover her identity as a Spirit Beast.
Tang Hao was too cunning—first the Blue Silver Emperor, then Xiao Wu.
When the Blue Silver Emperor's identity was exposed, its strength had already reached the Mature Stage, yet it was still discovered.
