He even recalled that powerful Food-type Spirit Douluo elder mentioned by the Elder Sister before him!
An unprecedented impulse and longing surged, overwhelming the anger and chill of being manipulated.
Using almost every ounce of his strength, with a voice that was hoarse yet extraordinarily firm, he asked, "Elder Sister... can... can you teach me?"
"Teach me... teach me to become stronger! Teach me to fight! Teach me... not to be toyed with like this anymore!"
Seeing his resolute expression, Fu Zhi knew the time had come.
She smiled faintly, that smile like a spring breeze dissolving ice, dispelling the coldness in Oscar's heart.
"I am only staying here for three days," Fu Zhi said slowly.
She paused for a moment before continuing, "In these three days, I can teach you some basic spirit power circulation techniques, methods of physical coordination, and a few insights into how Food-type Spirit Masters can use spirit power to strengthen themselves."
"How much you can comprehend and remember depends entirely on your own comprehension and perseverance."
Three days! Though brief, to the long-starving Oscar, it was no less than rain after a drought!
He nodded repeatedly in excitement, replying eagerly for fear she might go back on her word, "Thank you, Elder Sister! I will definitely work hard to learn! I really will!"
The next three days were, for Oscar, a period of revolutionary transformation.
Fu Zhi did not teach him any profound or complex spirit skills. Instead, she started from the absolute basics--breathing, standing posture, and the most subtle flows of spirit power within the body--correcting the bad habits and flaws formed by his previous wild, unguided cultivation bit by bit.
Her method of explanation was profound yet simple, often taking just a few words to clear away the confusions that Oscar had racked his brains over.
These insights opened up an entirely new door for him.
During these three days, Oscar studied hungrily, attending to his classes at the academy during the day, and sneaking into the small grove at dusk and night to receive Fu Zhi's guidance.
His astonishing comprehension and tenacity also made Fu Zhi nod inwardly; he truly lived up to his innate full spirit power talent, and his character had withstood the initial test.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Still in that same small grove, Oscar had firmly memorized the basic points taught by Fu Zhi and had begun initial practice.
Yet he knew the time for parting had arrived.
Looking at the gentle Fu Zhi before him, his heart was filled with reluctance and gratitude.
These three days were undoubtedly one of the most important turning points in his life.
"Elder Sister..." Oscar said with a somewhat downcast voice, "Thank you for your guidance over these past three days."
"However, if... if I want to find you in the future, where should I go?"
Fu Zhi remained silent for a moment, as if making a certain decision.
"Next, I should be heading to Heaven Dou City," she said slowly, casting her gaze toward the northeast as she continued, "My family has ordered me to go protect the young master. And the young master is surely in Heaven Dou City now."
Heaven Dou City!
These three words acted like a key, once more unlocking the floodgates of Oscar's memories.
In that recurring dream, many of the crucial plots were connected to Heaven Dou City!
The Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament was held in Heaven Dou City; Ning Rongrong was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was also near Heaven Dou City... and Teacher Fu was in Heaven Dou City as well!
All clues seemed destined to point toward that very place.
What made Oscar's heart beat even faster was Elder Sister's surname--Fu! The young master she spoke of was currently in Heaven Dou City!
An extremely clear yet hard-to-believe thought grew wildly, like a seedling breaking through the soil.
He could no longer hold back, and asked the question buried deeper in his heart and more specific than before, his voice turning somewhat dry from tension, "Elder Sister... in your family... is there someone... someone named Fu Shiyan?"
This time, he did not use the vague address of "Teacher," but directly spoke the full name engraved in his heart from his dreams!
Hearing this, Fu Zhi's face instantly displayed clear shock!
She turned her head abruptly, her gaze sharpening and her expression turning somewhat cold as she demanded, "Where did you hear that name from?"
Her reaction was no different from a definitive confirmation!
Oscar felt a rush of hot blood surge straight to the top of his head, his ears buzzing!
It was real!
It really was him! Fu Shiyan! Not only did the person truly exist, but even his name was identical!
Without a second thought, driven by that wave of excitement, he described the image from his dreams with greater precision, like a drowning man grasping at a final straw of confirmation: "Is... is he someone with long, silvery-white hair? Very long, and extremely good-looking! Does he like to wear... um, black clothes that look a bit like long robes but are very neat?"
"He looks exceptionally young, and seems to know everything..."
Listening to his description, the shock in Fu Zhi's eyes gradually transformed into a strange confirmation and understanding.
She nodded slowly and spoke, "Silver hair, mysterious black attire, exceptional handsome looks, and an otherworldly temperament... Your description is not off by even a fraction."
Staring at Oscar as if re-evaluating the child, she said thoughtfully, "It seems you not only know the young master, but appear to be quite familiar with him."
"Little Oscar, what sort of connection do you share with the young master?"
Having received final confirmation, Oscar stood frozen in place.
In his mind, the barrier between dream and reality collapsed with a deafening crash!
Those bizarre and multicolored scenes, those unforgettable teachings, those laughs and tears, regrets and remorse...
Everything had shifted from an illusory dream into a potentially real future!
Teacher Fu truly existed! And his status was extraordinary!
Then... what about Shrek Academy? Boss Dai, Fatty, Xiao Wu, Tang San... and Rongrong?
Those experiences of fighting side by side, those hazy romantic feelings, those tragic endings... could they all be real too? Would they all happen in the future?
Countless questions, shock, fear, and anticipation spread through his little mind like an explosion, causing him to lose all ability to think for a moment, leaving him only able to stare blankly at Fu Zhi, mouth open, unable to utter a single sound.
The world seemed to completely overturn and reorganize before his eyes.
Seeing him fall into complete chaos, Fu Zhi knew the time was ripe.
She had already exceeded the young master's expectations.
The rest required this child to digest on his own and make his choice.
Without saying anything more, she gently patted Oscar's shoulder, leaving behind a meaningful remark: "The affairs of the world are like a game of chess, and fate is truly marvelous."
"Little Oscar, remember what you have learned these three days. If we are fated in the future, perhaps we will meet again in Heaven Dou City."
With that, she gave Oscar a final, gentle smile and turned to leave.
Finally clearing his turbulent thoughts, Oscar summoned his courage and shouted toward the departing Fu Zhi, "Wait!"
"Elder Sister, can you take me with you to Heaven Dou City?"
