Chapter 78 - Chapter 78 – Zhao Wuji’s Praise and Reminder, and the Change in Oscar’s Soul Skill Storage Time  

Although Zhao Wuji's soul skills also included some ranged attacks, if he faced a "flying soul master" like Oscar, as long as the opponent deliberately kept their distance, there was really nothing he could do. 

 

At this moment, Zhao Wuji could only watch helplessly as Oscar and the other two floated high in the air. He had no flying ability, and his attack range was limited. 

 

Oscar and Ma Hongjun exchanged a glance. Both erupted with soul power simultaneously. In Oscar's hand, the jade sword suddenly flew up, turning into a glow of azure, icy blue, and crimson. 

 

The three colored light instantly transformed into over fifty three colored jade swords. From each sword burst forth sword energy infused with the elements of slicing, ice, and blazing flames. 

 

"Sword Form – Triple Element Sword Rain!" 

 

Oscar shouted loudly. The fifty plus jade swords surged toward Zhao Wuji, targeting his face, chest, abdomen, and lower body. 

 

Ma Hongjun, beside Oscar, did the same. With the eruption of his soul power, a massive fire phoenix condensed behind him, letting out a clear and resonant cry. Under Ma Hongjun's control, the phoenix locked onto Zhao Wuji and dove down in a fierce attack. 

 

"Third Soul Skill: Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike!" 

 

Their attacks came one after another, and with both going allout, even a high level Soul Elder might not be able to withstand them. 

 

But they weren't the only ones attacking Dugu Yan slowly raised her right arm. Soul power surged, forming into a terrifying purpleblack giant serpent. 

 

The serpent flicked its tongue, and in its mouth condensed a sharp, venomous arrow of deadly poison. 

 

"Bone Eroding Poison Python Right Arm Bone Skill – Bone Eroding Heart Piercing Arrow!" 

 

The fierce serpent spat out a chilling, poisonous arrow, aimed straight for Zhao Wuji's heart exactly like Oscar's plan, aiming for a fatal blow! 

 

Faced with such a full powered assault, even Zhao Wuji dared not be careless. His sixth black soul ring suddenly lit up, and terrifying soul power surged around him. A golden halo spread over his body. 

 

Zhao Wuji's already massive frame swelled further under the might of this ten thousand year soul skill. His body became even more towering and muscular, his eyes widened in a glare like an enraged Vajra. 

 

"Sixth Soul Skill: Vajra's Furious Gaze!" 

 

His terrifying soul power erupted. Empowered by the sixth soul skill, Zhao Wuji slowly raised his huge bearlike palms, golden brown light swirling over themit was his second soul skill, Mighty Vajra Palm! 

 

His legs sank down, and both palms thrust toward the sky. Gigantic golden brown palm shadows shot upward. 

 

Boom! Boom! Boom! 

 

The countless palm shadows smashed apart every one of Oscar's jade swords before they even got within ten meters of him, scattering the three colored soul power lights in the air. 

 

Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike met the same fate, crushed by Zhao Wuji's countless palm shadows. 

 

Even Du Gu Yan's soul bone skill though over twenty thousand years old was not fully unleashed under her current strength. Her poisonous arrow came closer than the other two's attacks, but it was still shattered within five meters of Zhao Wuji. 

 

The arrow exploded into a poisonous mist capable of corroding a soul master's bones instantly, but Zhao Wuji quickly retreated to avoid it entirely. 

 

In truth, Oscar's trio's combined attack could already threaten some weaker Soul Kings. But they faced Zhao Wuji at his full power, at level 78. 

 

With the sixth soul skill's boost, Zhao Wuji's power and talent made him nearly unbeatable against opponents of his rank unless facing a Soul Sage or stronger. 

 

For him to use his sixth soul skill against three teenagers was something even many Soul Emperors would not do. 

 

Thus, although Zhao Wuji had defended himself without injury, he genuinely acknowledged their strength. 

 

A level 37 Soul Elder and two level 35 Soul Elders together forcing a fullpower Soul King was already a huge compliment. 

 

Oscar quickly took three Super Recovery Big Sausages from his soul toolone for himself, and one each for Ma Hongjun and Du Gu Yan. 

 

Their final attack had consumed almost all their soul powerit was truly an allout strike. 

 

Zhao Wuji looked at them with satisfaction, smiling slightly: 

"Not bad. To force me to use my sixth soul skill, you three little brats have earned the right to be proud." 

 

Hearing this, Oscar withdrew his jade sword and, holding Du Gu Yan's jade like hand, descended slowly with Ma Hongjun to stand before Zhao Wuji. 

 

"Teacher Zhao, if you say that, we might just get arrogant," Oscar replied with a chuckle. 

 

Zhao Wuji, seeing Oscar so cheerful, withdrew his martial soul and glared: 

"But don't get too happy too soon. Your third soul skill's flying ability was unexpected, but the three of you still have much room for teamwork improvement." 

 

"Little Ao, I don't need to say much you know your own issues. I trust you'll fix them without me nagging." 

 

"Du Gu Yan, that last attack was a soul bone skill, right? Its range and method are impressive, but you need to practice more. These are your future trump cards." 

 

Hearing Zhao Wuji's sincere words, Oscar grew serious and nodded: 

"I understand, Teacher Zhao. We'll be staying at the academy to train seriously from now onhope we don't take up too much of your time, and don't you get annoyed with us." 

 

Oscar ended with a playful tone. Over the years, he had trained daily under Zhao Wuji's gravity control, and Zhao Wuji had never refused him. 

 

Even if the old man did get annoyed, Oscar wasn't worried after all, his own teacher Gai Yue was about to reach level 88, nearly ten levels higher than Zhao Wuji. If Zhao Wuji got impatient, Oscar could just complain to his teacher, who treated him like a son. Zhao Wuji would surely get a beating then! 

 

Zhao Wuji laughed: 

"As long as you come to me, I'll always be here for you!" 

 

Then he beckoned to Oscar: 

"I know you like storing your soul skills. Hurry and give me two Super Recovery Big Sausages my soul power consumption wasn't small." 

 

Oscar pulled out three sausages from his soul tool and handed them over. Zhao Wuji ate them all, quickly restoring much of his energy and stamina. 

 

These sausages were stored after Oscar reached level 37. Though recovery was limited for someone at Zhao Wuji's level, three sausages still helped a lot. 

 

The most important thing was that Oscar's soul skill storage time had changed greatly from the original version. In the original story, each soul skill's storage time increased gradually first soul skill for 7 days, second for half a month, third for a month, and so on. 

 

But now, Oscar's storage time was based on the longest storage time among his skills. 

 

For example, if his first soul skill could be stored for 7 days, and the second for half a month, then the first skill's time would also become half a month. 

 

Currently, his third soul skill's storage time was one month so now all three of his soul skills could be stored for one month. 

 

This was undoubtedly a huge boon for Oscar, meaning he could store as many of his skills as possible for emergencies.
