Chapter 7 Bestowing Treasures and Subduing Dragons and Tigers
Oscar ran out of the dormitory and came to the riverbank, his face full of sorrow.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.
"Handsome boy, what's wrong? Regretting it? Want to go back and make up with them?"
Oscar turned around and found Lan Minghua standing behind him at some point.
"Master, how did you know I argued with them?"
Lan Minghua naturally wouldn't say that he had been eavesdropping, and said calmly, "My house isn't far from your dormitory, it's easy to hear."
"Don't avoid the topic, answer me, do you want to go back and make up with them?"
Oscar bit his lip, unable to speak.
The brotherhood he had built with Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun over the years was not something that could be easily severed.
However, this time they had really gone too far.
Seeing this, Lan Minghua nodded slightly, Oscar's character was still good.
If he were really so cold-blooded and ruthless, it wouldn't be a good thing.
So he said, "If you want to go back and make up, I won't stop you. As for whether to sever the master-disciple relationship, that's up to you."
Lan Minghua didn't want to use the relationship to coerce Oscar like Ma Hongjun did.
Instead, he gave him a choice and let him decide.
Anyway, the reward was already in his hands, and he wouldn't force Oscar to become his disciple.
Oscar felt a warmth in his heart. He hadn't expected Lan Minghua to understand him better than his brothers with whom he spent every day.
"Hoo!"
He took a deep breath, his eyes hardening.
"No, they always looked down on me, thinking I couldn't live without them."
Saying this, Oscar said self-deprecatingly, "If I hadn't met my teacher, perhaps I really would have continued to depend on them."
Lan Minghua knew Oscar wasn't lying; Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun truly looked down on him.
Among the Shrek Seven Devils, Dai Mubai was the oldest, Oscar was second, and Tang San was third.
But their titles were very different.
Dai Mubai was Boss Dai, and Tang San was Third Brother.
But with Oscar, he became Little Oscar.
In fact, you can tell whether someone respects another person from how the author addresses them.
For example, Tang San's way of addressing Dai Mubai is very straightforward.
When he's weaker than him, he calls him Boss Dai; when he's stronger, he calls him Mubai.
The online meme "Gangzi" is actually another example.
Oscar, with a determined look in his eyes, knelt heavily before Lan Minghua.
The boy's still-childish face revealed a resolute gaze.
"Master, please teach me how to become stronger. I want to prove myself. Even without relying on them, my future is still bright."
Lan Minghua gave him a thumbs up and said, "That's ambitious! I believe in you."
Then he handed the gravity-sensing bracelet and the Devouring Pouch to Oscar.
"This is my gift for your apprenticeship. Please accept it."
Oscar accepted it with both hands and respectfully said, "Thank you, Master." He examined
the gravity-sensing bracelet and the Devouring Pouch in his hands, asking questions.
"Master, what are these two treasures you gave me?"
Lan Minghua pointed to the bracelet and explained, "This is called a gravity-sensing bracelet. As long as you input your soul power, you can bear weight on your entire body. The heaviest it can hold is ten thousand jin (approximately 5,000 kg). It's for your training." "
That ring-like thing is called a Devouring Pouch, a spatial soul tool. It has a storage space of one hundred cubic meters."
Originally, the Devouring Pouch was spherical, but Lan Minghua, relying on his masterful Divine Refinement technique, modified it into a ring for easier carrying.
Oscar bit his lip tightly, never expecting Lan Minghua's apprenticeship gift to be so valuable.
Soul tools are priceless, demonstrating their rarity. With a thud, Oscar knelt before Lan Minghua and kowtowed several times.
Lan Minghua helped him up and brushed the dust off his clothes.
"Alright, I've given you your apprenticeship gift. I was originally going to let you rest for a day before training you, but if you want to get stronger, let's start now."
Oscar's face stiffened; he was clearly unprepared.
"What are you waiting for? Quickly increase the weight of your gravity-sensing bracelet to 250 jin and run twenty laps around Shilake."
Lan Minghua didn't give him a chance to cheat, injecting appropriate soul power into the gravity-sensing bracelet.
Instantly, 250 jin of gravity pressed down on Oscar, almost crushing him.
Oscar grimaced, but to prove himself, he didn't say a word and started running with difficulty.
Lan Minghua nodded in satisfaction. Continue training; in a few days, Oscar would meet the basic requirements for cultivating the "Indestructible Vajra Technique."
Watching Oscar run, he took out a bottle of wine from somewhere and started drinking.
"System, are you there?"
[Ding, yes.]
"I remember you can use Master Points for a lottery, right? How many Master Points does it take to draw once?"
[Ding, 100 Master Points per draw. The prize pool has four levels of rewards: white, purple, gold, and red. These include, but are not limited to, characters, cultivation techniques, and items. Ten draws guarantee a purple item, one hundred draws guarantee a gold item, and one thousand draws guarantee a red item.]
Lan Minghua felt this was similar to the lottery mechanism of a certain two-word game, something like "Original".
System: Host, so you play too…
"100 Master Points per draw? Too bad, taking Oscar as an apprentice only gives 900 Master Points, not even enough for ten draws."
[Ding, the first ten-draw is 10% off. Host, would you like to do a ten-draw?]
Lan Minghua was speechless. This damn system was really trying to squeeze him dry.
But if there's a bargain, why not take advantage of it?
"System, give me a ten-draw."
[Ding, 900 Master Points successfully deducted. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the following items.]
[Thank you for your patronage, Thank you for your patronage, a case of Moutai (white), Character Subduing Dragon (purple), Character Subduing Tiger (purple), ...] Looking
at the "Thank you for your patronage" messages, Lan Minghua's lips twitched.
Wasn't the prize pool supposed to only have four items: white, purple, gold, and red? "
Thank you for your patronage," what the hell is this?
This lottery mechanism is even worse than those two-word games!
Sure enough, you get what you pay for.
But having two purple items isn't too bad.
It's just that, are these Subduing Dragon and Subduing Tiger the two he was thinking of?
"System, check the information for Subduing Dragon and Subduing Tiger."
[Character: Subduing Dragon. (From Assassin Wu Liuqi)]
[Soul Power: Level 89.]
[Soul Rings: Yellow Yellow Purple Purple Black Black Black Black Black.]
[Character: Subduing Tiger. (From Assassin Wu Liuqi)]
[Soul Power: Level 88.]
[Soul Rings: Yellow Yellow Purple Purple Black Black Black Black.]
[Subduing Dragon and Subduing Tiger possess the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Dragon and Tiger Combined Strike, capable of fighting Super Douluo (Level 95).] Lan
Minghua's guess was right; the two guys guarding the gate of the Heavenly Dragon Gang were indeed
the ones who had subdued the dragons. He was playing the role of Lan Minghua, the "Lost Life Lan," and the system had drawn a character from the Heavenly Dragon Gang—it was meant for him to rebuild the gang in Douluo Continent.
"System, summon the Dragon Subduing Tigers."
As soon as he finished speaking, two robust figures appeared behind Lan Minghua.
The blue-haired one was the Dragon Subduing Tigers, and the orange-haired one was the Tiger Subduing Tigers. Without hesitation, they knelt before Lan Minghua.
"Sect Leader, what are your orders?"
