After comforting Ma Hongjun, Ning Fengzhi looked at Oscar, a support-type prodigy whose talent was no less than Ning Rongrong's.
"Oscar, I have never seen a Food-Type Soul Master as outstanding as you. I sincerely welcome you and the Peerless Dragon Serpent couple to join my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Oscar scratched his head awkwardly, "Sect Master Ning, you flatter me. Actually, I know I'm not that outstanding. Everyone here is the strongest support-type Soul Master. It doesn't make much difference to have one more of me. How can my little amplification ability compare to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
"Amplification? Who asked you to amplify?" Ning Fengzhi's smile faltered upon hearing this, and he frowned as he asked, "Xiao Tian told me that your first three Spirit Abilities don't seem to include any amplification-type Spirit Abilities, right?"
"Well, the first three aren't, but the fourth one is. Grandmaster told me that he's going to help me find a Spirit Ring that can amplify all attributes, which will be very helpful to us Shrek Seven Devils," Oscar replied.
"Good, good Yu Xiaogang. In order to use the victory of that Soul Master Competition to make a name for himself, he really uses every means possible," Ning Fengzhi said with sudden anger after hearing this.
The others didn't understand what he meant; they had never seen Ning Fengzhi like this.
"Fengzhi, what's wrong? Isn't all-attribute amplification good?" Gu Rong asked.
"It's good, but it depends on what kind of Soul Master it's suitable for. Oscar is a Food-Type Soul Master. Do you know where Food-Type Soul Masters can shine the most?" Ning Fengzhi looked at everyone and continued, "It's the battlefield, the army, not a small Soul Fighting Stage."
"A high-level Food-Type Soul Master can support the supplies of thousands or even tens of thousands of people. Oscar's choice of the first three Spirit Rings was quite correct. They can be produced in large quantities, consume little Spirit power, are easy to preserve, and have wonderful uses such as recovery, detoxification, and flight. They are simply a mobile granary for the army, with great strategic significance."
"But once you choose to go down the path of amplification, the situation will be completely different. I have studied the amplification abilities of Food-Type Soul Masters and found that there are many shortcomings. First, the amplification range is extremely small, less than one-fifth of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Second, it consumes a lot of Spirit power and cannot be produced in batches. Third, it is difficult to preserve. Generally, it must be eaten within a few minutes of production to be effective. Fourth, many may also have side effects."
Ning Fengzhi listed four flaws in a row. Tianlin recalled and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
In the original work, the fourth and fifth Spirit Rings that Oscar hunted under Grandmaster's advice were simply useless. The fourth Spirit Ring, Excitement Sausage, accounted for two of the four flaws. The amplification effect was only 10%, it could not be preserved, it had to be eaten within one minute, and the amplification duration was only five minutes. Shrek had the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, so why would they need your 10%? The fifth Spirit Ability, Dark Green Sausage, was even more of a joke. It instantly increased Spirit power by a fixed 30% for three minutes, but the side effects were huge. It would cause weakness for three days, damage vitality, and could only be used once a month. Again, with Rongrong around, as long as she reached level 70, a Three Day Soul would have an amplification effect of over 80%. Why would they need your Dark Green Sausage with such a big side effect? In fact, Food-Type Soul Masters are the least suitable Soul Masters to appear in small-scale team battles like seven-person Soul Fights. Their support is different from other Spirits, with too many steps. First, the Food-Type Soul Master has to shout out the Spirit incantation to make food, then throw it to their teammates, and finally the teammates take it to exert the effect. With so much time, as long as the opponent isn't stupid, they will definitely take the opportunity to attack.
Furthermore, what if the sausages Oscar made were snatched on the Soul Fighting Stage? Wouldn't that be aiding the enemy? Judging from the original work, Tianlin had never seen other seven-person teams with Food-Type support besides Shrek.
If Oscar hadn't been self-motivated and obtained a heaven-defying Mirror Image Sausage for his sixth Spirit Ring, becoming an unprecedented support-type combat Soul Master, he would probably have faded into obscurity.
And his seventh, eighth, and ninth Spirit Rings were all god-given Spirit Rings. In addition to the Spirit Avatar, the effects were all related to healing and recovery, without any amplification. Obviously, the Sea God's idea was consistent with Ning Fengzhi's at this time.
Ning Fengzhi held Oscar's shoulders and earnestly persuaded, "Oscar, trust Uncle. Since you have become a member of my sect, Uncle will never harm you. Although your sausages and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda are both support-type, your positioning is completely different from Rongrong's. You have a completely different but equally important meaning to our sect. Uncle will plan your future for you. Don't just focus on the present. The victory of a Soul Master Competition is not of great significance to you at all."
"This..." Oscar hesitated upon hearing this. How could he not hear Ning Fengzhi's sincerity? However, if he didn't choose this way, he would be completely useless to the Shrek team in the Soul Master Competition. If Shrek lost because of him, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Seeing what he was thinking, Tianlin reminded him, "Oscar, you don't have to consider so much at all. Even if you choose Grandmaster's path, your Shrek will not be able to win the championship. Don't forget, there are two big mountains, Spirit Hall and Royal Fight, in front of you, not to mention that I am in the Royal Fight Team!"
As he spoke, Tianlin directly released the Demon Sword, and the five Spirit Rings of yellow, purple, purple, black, and black shocked everyone except Ning Fengzhi and the Titled Douluo who already knew.
"Old... Boss, you've become a Soul King, am I seeing things?" Gu Ran asked in astonishment. Less than a month ago, when he and Tianlin parted, Tianlin was only a Soul Ancestor one level higher than him.
"Level 55, Power Attack System Battle Soul King!" Tianlin replied.
Well, he wasn't just a beginner Soul King at level 51, he had already reached the intermediate level. Gu Ran added a bit of admiration to his shock. As expected, the boss was the boss, and cheating never made sense. The Golden Generation of Spirit Hall had probably been surpassed by Tianlin.
"Brother Sword, so amazing!" Ning Rongrong looked at Tianlin adoringly and admiringly.
Tianlin affectionately rubbed her head, looked at Oscar and said, "How about it, Oscar, do you still think your little amplification ability will be useful to me?"
What else could Oscar say? He could only smile bitterly, "How could it be useful? Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can't amplify Little San and the others to the level of being able to compete with you. As expected, you are a super monster, but that's good, I don't need to sacrifice my future."
In other words, Oscar had agreed not to take Grandmaster's path.
To this, Ning Fengzhi expressed his gratification, "Oscar, you don't have to belittle yourself. As long as you reach level 40, don't worry, the Spirit Ring I find for you will not only be useful for your future, but also allow you to play your role in this competition. No matter where the people of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect go, they will never be a drag!"
"Thank you, Uncle Ning!" Oscar was completely devoted to him at this point. Compared to the Grandmaster who sacrificed his future, Ning Fengzhi was more recognized by him.
Ning Fengzhi nodded and looked at Tianlin, "Then Xiao Tian, take out what you have prepared."
"Uncle Ning, I've already brought it with me." Tianlin smiled slightly, taking a gorgeous box from his Treasure Pouch.
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong and Ma Hongjun were incredibly excited. They had made a special trip back just for what was inside.
