Ning Fengzhi had painted so many grand pictures, but it turned out that others were already feasting on meat.
Just putting yourself in Ning Fengzhi's shoes, you could understand how awkward he must have felt at that moment.
Even Chen Xin's usually calm demeanor couldn't hide the complex expression on his face.
"Uncle Sword, to be honest, apart from wanting to vent my frustration, I genuinely wanted to help the Body Sect."
"Even if I become a god, I'll be a god with no combat power."
"If I can assist the Martial God in ascending to godhood, then after I become a god, I'll have someone to rely on in the divine realm."
"But I never expected..."
His intentions were sincere, but he also just wanted to vent his frustration.
When someone who was once looked down upon suddenly rises to prominence, it's only natural to want to show off and prove oneself.
Unfortunately, not only did he fail to prove anything, but he also ended up suffering an even greater blow.
"The Martial God probably saw that you didn't have any ill intentions, which is why he played along with your act. But he didn't expect that young man to suddenly show up, ruining the performance."
Chen Xin said thoughtfully, his words coming very close to the truth.
Ning Fengzhi forced a bitter smile but ultimately said nothing more.
Suddenly, a tall, skeletal-looking old man walked into the council hall.
He wore a strange, excited smile on his face, which seemed quite eerie. However, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were used to it and didn't show any discomfort.
"Fengzhi, Sword Man, great news, great news!"
Gu Rong said with a smile, his voice filled with excitement.
"Did you break through to the 96th level?"
Chen Xin asked instinctively.
Gu Rong: "..."
Why did you have to bring that up?
Is it really that easy to reach the realm of a Super Douluo?
Typical Sword Man, always poking at old wounds.
"No, it has nothing to do with me."
Gu Rong shrugged. Perhaps because he was in a good mood, he didn't argue with Chen Xin.
Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi exchanged glances. Could it be that Gu Rong knew about Ning Fengzhi's divine inheritance?
Otherwise, why would he be so happy?
But they had just returned from Zhongli's residence and hadn't told Gu Rong yet!
"What's the good news?"
Seeing Chen Xin's question, Gu Rong didn't hold back and said directly, "That Oscar, he actually obtained a divine inheritance!"
"What?"
Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi were shocked, finding it hard to believe.
"After that Oscar obtained his fourth soul ring, his second soul ring suddenly turned into a thousand-year purple soul ring!"
"When I asked, it turned out he had obtained a divine inheritance!"
Ning Fengzhi's eye twitched, and he couldn't help but take a sharp breath.
Oscar was more like a "live-in son-in-law," and not even officially married!
Ning Fengzhi had originally planned to release Ning Rongrong after he became a god, as she was his daughter, but plans couldn't keep up with changes.
Zhongli's side seemed even more terrifying, so his plan was likely doomed.
And now, Oscar had obtained a divine inheritance...
"The divine inheritance Oscar obtained is the inheritance of my husband, the God of Food. The God of Food is also a second-level god."
At that moment, the Nine-Colored Goddess explained to Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi, who had been somewhat excited, was instantly doused with cold water, and his mood plummeted.
A mere second-level god, nothing special.
"I see, Uncle Gu."
"???"
After Ning Fengzhi spoke, he didn't continue, leaving Gu Rong completely baffled.
This was a divine inheritor!
Shouldn't he and Ning Rongrong receive some special treatment?
Like, releasing them from that room?
Even if they didn't get preferential treatment, shouldn't they at least be moved out of that room?
After all, this was a divine inheritor!
Seeing Ning Fengzhi's expression, Chen Xin gave him a thoughtful look, as if he understood something.
If his guess was correct, it was no wonder Ning Fengzhi looked like that.
That god must have explained something to Ning Fengzhi again.
"Is it that one?"
"Yes."
Seeing Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin speaking in riddles, Gu Rong was quite annoyed.
Whispering in front of him like that, did they even care about his presence?
"Uncle Gu, let's just handle things as usual."
"Even if it's one divine inheritor, or even two gods, it won't change anything for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Being second is fine too."
It seemed like he was comforting the confused Gu Rong, or perhaps he was saying it to himself.
If there were any other way, who would want to be second-best?
Even if both he and his son-in-law became gods, they would just be two auxiliary gods, and only second-level at that.
What about the Body Sect?
They already had at least two gods, both combat gods, and there was also a publicly known divine inheritor.
How could they compete?
Gu Rong frowned. He felt like Ning Fengzhi had lost a lot of his fighting spirit.
Back when Ning Fengzhi was about to reach the Title Douluo level, he was full of ambition, and when he broke through, he was brimming with confidence.
But now, in such a short time, he had become so disheartened and resigned.
It was truly hard to accept and understand.
"Once he becomes a god, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can surpass the Body Sect. How could we be second?"
"Fengzhi, have you gone mad?"
"No, I'm not mad."
"Even if he becomes a god now, it won't change the fact that we're second."
Ning Fengzhi sighed and said.
What's the point of becoming a god?
Before, Zhongli could kill them with one finger. After Oscar becomes a god, it would just take two fingers to kill them!
Is there any meaning in that?
Absolutely none!
Before becoming a god, Zhongli was like the moon in the water, visible but unreachable.
After becoming a god, Zhongli was like the sky to a mayfly!
That's the gap!
"Yes, Fengzhi is very clear-headed now."
"Sigh~"
Chen Xin sighed.
Gu Rong: "..."
Have they both gone mad?
After thinking for a moment, Gu Rong decided to bring Oscar over and let Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi see for themselves what a divine inheritor looked like.
Seeing Gu Rong's retreating figure, the two didn't stop him. They wanted to say something but ultimately remained silent, letting out a silent sigh.
A short while later, Gu Rong returned to the hall, dragging Oscar along with him.
"Fengzhi, Sword Man, let me show you the glory of a divine inheritor!"
"Oscar, release your martial soul!"
Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin: "..."
They were too tired to even comment. Just let it all end!
Seeing this, Oscar didn't hesitate. Since his secret was out, he decided to stop pretending and show his true colors!
He was a divine inheritor!
With this identity revealed, he and Ning Rongrong should be able to leave that room, right?
"First of all, I would like to thank the Sect Master and the elders for their care, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for its nurturing, and the disciples of the sect for their help. It is thanks to everyone that I, Oscar, have been able to achieve what I have today."
Oscar had a slightly proud expression, but he didn't let it go to his head. He quickly released his martial soul.
Yellow, Purple, Purple, Purple.
A Soul Ancestor with one yellow and three purple soul rings was indeed quite surreal.
