Douluo Continent: My life is ruined, but I become stronger by taking on disciples.

Chapter 5 Taking Oscar as an Apprentice

"Hey sir, what are you doing here?"

Oscar was deeply impressed by Lan Minghua; apart from children, he was the first person to eat sausages with such relish.

Although no money was paid.

Before Lan Minghua could speak, Zhao Wuji urged him to make sausages.

"Wah-jai is a new teacher recruited by the dean, so you'll be seeing each other often from now on. Now, let's get the sausages out so Mu-bai and the others can eat them."

"oh oh."

Oscar responded, and seeing that there were no girls around, he openly recited the incantation.

"I have a big sausage!"

His soul power surged, and a ball of light appeared in his hand.

As the light faded, two large sausages appeared.

Zhao Wuji took it and personally fed it to Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.

Oscar looked up at Lan Minghua, wanting to see what his expression would be after hearing such a spell.

Lan Minghua didn't think there was anything wrong with it; it was just a spell, only people with a sensitive heart would misunderstand it.

When he met Oscar for the second time, he felt he could take him on as an apprentice.

He has good talent and good character.

"Handsome, would you like to be my apprentice? I can give you, a support-type Soul Master, combat abilities comparable to a power-attack-type Soul Master."

Upon hearing this, Oscar covered his mouth and chuckled, replying, "Uncle, stop joking. What can you possibly teach me?"

Lan Minghua had anticipated his answer and did not press him further.

"Fine, I'm Shillake's teacher now anyway. If you change your mind and want to be my apprentice, you can do it anytime."

Turning to Zhao Wuji, who had just fed sausages to Dai Mubai and the other man, he asked, "Old Zhao, where do I live?"

"Wah Jai, your house is ready. Just turn left and drive straight for about 100 meters ahead. Do you need me to take you there?"

"No need, I can go by myself." Lan Minghua shuffled towards the house, kicking off his slippers.

Oscar was dumbfounded, speechless.

"Teacher Zhao, is that uncle really a new teacher recruited by the dean?!"

Zhao Wuji stared at Lan Minghua's back and nodded emphatically.

"The letter Flander wrote to me personally should be genuine. Moreover, his strength is no less than mine; he is at least a Soul Saint."

Oscar was stunned by these words.

Whose Soul Saint is like a vagrant, unable to even produce five copper soul coins?

Wait, a Soul Saint?!

Oscar belatedly realized that he had just rejected a Soul Saint as his teacher.

Don't underestimate the Soul Saint. In the first game, the Soul Saint was already a powerful being.

Seeing his pained expression, Zhao Wuji reminded him, "Xiao Ao, if you want to become his disciple, then go for it. A Soul Saint master is a rare find."

Shrek Academy has a graduation requirement.

After graduation, teachers are no longer obligated to protect students' safety.

From this point on, life and death will be left to fate.

But your master is different; he truly treats you like family.

Oscar's mind raced as he recalled Lan Minghua's words and was deeply moved.

This will allow support-type Soul Masters to possess combat power comparable to that of offensive-type Soul Masters!

As a support-type Soul Master, he was well aware of his own weaknesses.

Without the protection of companions, even the most useful support Soul Master is just a support Soul Master.

Oscar knew very well that if Lan Minghua hadn't seduced him, then the chance to defy fate was right in front of him.

"Teacher Zhao, I'll be going now!"

Without giving Zhao Wuji a chance to speak, he pedaled the tricycle and sped off.

On the ground, Ma Hongjun woke up after eating the sausage, but Dai Mubai was still asleep.

Perhaps it's because he's thick-skinned and tough, so the damage wasn't that severe.

The moment Ma Hongjun saw Zhao Wuji, he clung to his leg and wept bitterly.

"Teacher Zhao, you must stand up for me! There was a filthy beggar who tried to kill me."

"You have to kill him for me. We absolutely can't let Shrek be disgraced."

Zhao Wuji sneered. Ma Hongjun didn't mention a word about what he had done.

If Lan Minghua wanted to kill him, he would have been dead long ago.

However, not wanting to cause discord between students and teachers, he reminded them, "Enough. Don't I know who caused this trouble?"

Ma Hongjun's face froze; he hadn't expected his little scheme to be seen through.

"He's Flanders' new teacher, and his strength is no less than mine. If you want to cause trouble, go find someone yourself, don't use me as a pawn." After reprimanding Zhao Wuji, he left without looking back.

He had already made many enemies when he was young, but now he understands the ways of the world.

To offend a powerful figure no less capable than himself just for Ma Hongjun's sake—was he out of his mind?

As Ma Hongjun watched Zhao Wuji's retreating figure, a murderous glint flashed deep in his eyes.

They helped the dazed Dai Mubai up and returned to the dormitory.

Lan Minghua arrived at the house Zhao Wuji had mentioned and casually pushed open the door.

Nothing special, just simple and clean.

"Flander put in a lot of effort; at least this house is better than the student dormitories."

Flanders was quite adept at understanding human relationships and social dynamics.

The latest novel is first published here!

Lan Minghua sat in his chair, deep in thought. He had forgotten to ask Zhao Wuji when Shrek Academy would start recruiting students.

"Knock knock knock!"

I had just sat down when there was a knock on the door, followed by a voice.

"Uncle, do you want an apprentice? I've come to ask you to be my master!"

Lan Minghua didn't know what Zhao Wuji had said to Oscar, but he could guess a little.

He must know about their strength.

Otherwise, Oscar wouldn't have come so quickly.

That's reality.

"Handsome, come in."

The door was pushed open as soon as the words were spoken.

Oscar slid to his knees and appeared in front of Lan Minghua, bowing deeply in reverence.

"Master, please accept my bow!"

Lan Minghua didn't rush to agree, instead asking, "Handsome boy, why do you suddenly want to be my apprentice?"

Oscar didn't hold back and respectfully said, "Because you are very strong, Teacher Zhao said you are no weaker than the Dean. And you said you could make me as strong as a power-attack type Soul Master, so I want to become your disciple."

It's very straightforward, without any twists and turns.

Lan Minghua was satisfied with Oscar's answer; it wasn't pretentious at all.

"One last question, when does Shrek Academy start recruiting this year?"

Oscar wondered why Lan Minghua would ask, but he answered very honestly: "Tomorrow is the admissions day, and Teacher Li will be in charge."

"I see." Lan Minghua pondered for a moment, then said to him, "Get up. From now on, you are my apprentice, Lan Minghua."

"Thank you, Master!"

The moment Lan Minghua accepted Oscar as his apprentice, the system's voice rang in his mind.

[Ding, apprentice successfully recruited.]

[Master Teacher title successfully unlocked.]

[Eldest apprentice: Oscar.]

[Soul Power: Level 29.]

[System Talent Rating: 95.]

[Expert Points: 900]

[Methods to obtain Master Points: 1. Recruit disciples with a system talent score of 80 or higher; each disciple with a score of 80 or higher will grant 800 Master Points. 2. Teach disciples cultivation techniques; if a disciple successfully cultivates the techniques and their strength increases, Master Points will be awarded at the discretion of the teacher.]

Lan Minghua raised an eyebrow, not expecting the system to round down instead of rounding up.

If we round it up, he could get 1000 Master Points if he took Oscar as his apprentice.

Oscar rubbed his hands together, his face beaming with flattery, and said, "Master, shouldn't you teach me something?"

Lan Minghua took out those manuals again and handed them to him: "These are all my self-created soul skills, you can choose one."

"Teacher, I want this book, 'The Indestructible Vajra'!"

"Handsome boy, you're really brave! The 'Indestructible Vajra' technique is very difficult to master, you're going to suffer a lot."

Lan Minghua's tone turned mocking, and Oscar couldn't help but shiver.

"ha!"
