Oscar organized his thoughts, wondering where to begin telling Gai Yue about everything. He wanted to share this excitement and joy with him.
After so many years of being together, Gai Yue and Oscar, master and disciple, were already like father and son. Each regarded the other as the most important person in their lives, so Oscar naturally would not hide anything from Gai Yue.
"Teacher, the origin of this Evil God Pearl is extraordinary. From what I currently know, it should be a wisp of soul source power left behind by the former Evil God. I just don't know why it has taken this form only now," Oscar said.
Gai Yue was slightly surprised when he heard this. The word "god" was sacred to him, and indeed to everyone on the entire Douluo Continent.
In this world, gods truly exist. However, no new deities had been born on the continent for tens of thousands of years. Nevertheless, the word "god" remained sacred and untouchable.
And now Oscar was saying that they had encountered a god? Even if it was only a wisp of soul source power, the gap between a god and a human was too great. Even a wisp of a god's soul source could create a terrifying existence like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. No wonder Gai Yue was so shocked.
Oscar continued, "My second martial soul is thanks to the Evil God. Although I contributed to the process, without Him I could never have obtained this second martial soul. Now the Evil God has become something like the spirit of my second martial soul and is ignoring me for the time being, so there are many questions I cannot ask Him."
"The only thing I can confirm right now is that He probably has no malice toward me, otherwise He would not have helped me create a second martial soul."
As he spoke, a sky-blue light bloomed from Oscar's left hand, and a long jade sword appeared. Oscar held the jade sword and showed Gai Yue its details.
Hearing Oscar's words, Gai Yue was equally delighted. It really was a second martial soul.
He could not help but sigh. Looking at the sky-blue jade sword in Oscar's hand, Gai Yue thought, was this the power of a god—to turn an external spirit bone into a martial soul?
He had to admit, he felt a little envious of Oscar's fortune, but at the same time he was truly happy for him.
Although Oscar was a genius who had reached the Soul Emperor level at such a young age, his martial soul was ultimately of the food system. Now that he had the Sky Blue Jade Sword martial soul, he had truly secured his identity as an inheritor of the Sword Sect.
Moreover, Oscar's clone would also possess a true Sky Blue Jade Sword martial soul.
Turning a spirit bone into a martial soul would make Oscar's path of sword cultivation much smoother.
Gai Yue asked, "And what about your hundred-thousand-year soul ring? How is it different from a soul ring obtained by hunting a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?"
When Oscar heard Gai Yue ask about his sixth soul ring, the joy on his face was obvious. "Teacher, my hundred-thousand-year soul ring is a bit different from your ninth soul ring, but my hundred-thousand-year soul ring only has one skill."
Gai Yue raised an eyebrow. "Only one skill? Does that mean all the power of the hundred-thousand-year soul ring is concentrated into a single soul skill?"
Oscar nodded. "Exactly. That means this skill is stronger than an ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul skill, and my sixth soul skill feels as if it was tailor-made for me."
Gai Yue became interested. "What is your sixth soul skill?"
Oscar gave a wicked smile, put away the Sky Blue Jade Sword, and released his first martial soul, the Supreme Sausage.
As a delicate orange sausage appeared in Oscar's right hand, two yellow, one purple, two black, and one red soul rings rose around his body. The six dazzling soul rings pulsed rhythmically.
Even though Gai Yue had already seen Oscar's sixth soul ring before, the sight of that blood-red sixth soul ring still brought him an overwhelming visual impact.
Ordinary soul masters, even when reaching Title Douluo rank, might never obtain a hundred-thousand-year soul ring. Yet Oscar had just broken through level sixty and already possessed one?
Oscar just smiled faintly. "Teacher, watch closely."
In the next moment, the blood-red sixth soul ring on Oscar's body shone, and the red radiance was enough to make any soul master feel incredulous.
"Sixth Soul Skill: Transcendence Black Gold Sausage."
As the soul skill was released, Oscar's soul power surged, and a black-gold sausage rapidly formed in his right palm. But with the appearance of this black-gold sausage, one-third of Oscar's soul power was consumed instantly.
Although Oscar was only level sixty-one now, his soul power foundation was no weaker than that of a Soul Sage.
He also possessed the prototype of a soul core, but even with such a deep foundation, one-third of his soul power was still consumed. This showed just how powerful this soul skill was.
Oscar handed the black-gold sausage to Gai Yue and said, "Teacher, you are the first to try my sixth soul skill. It will give you results beyond your imagination."
Gai Yue took the sausage, smiled, and swallowed it. The sausage, originally as hard as black-gold stone, melted into pure soul power under the influence of Gai Yue's soul power and flowed into his abdomen.
Immediately, Gai Yue felt as though his soul power was boiling. He instinctively released his martial soul. Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red soul ring slowly rose around his body.
The terrifying soul power of a level ninety-five super douluo suddenly burst forth. Although he deliberately avoided directing the pressure at Oscar, Oscar still felt its intensity.
At this moment, Gai Yue was fully focused on feeling the changes in his body. After consuming Oscar's sixth soul skill, his soul power boiled violently and surged at a terrifying rate.
In just a few breaths, the terrifying level ninety-five pressure suddenly climbed to an even more terrifying level ninety-six.
That's right, level ninety-six. Unlike other auxiliary-type soul power boosts, Gai Yue's soul power level had truly advanced to level ninety-six.
In only a few breaths, Gai Yue had crossed a gap that normally required years of painstaking cultivation, instantly reaching level ninety-six.
Gai Yue widened his eyes. In all his decades of life, this was the first time he had felt anything like this. In just a few breaths, he had gone from a level ninety-five super douluo to a level ninety-six super douluo.
At the Title Douluo stage, each level was vastly different, but now Gai Yue had crossed one whole level in an instant.
Most importantly, this was truly level ninety-six. Gai Yue could clearly feel that his strength had greatly improved compared to just a moment ago.
Oscar also felt Gai Yue's improvement. Honestly, even though he had expected the skill to be strong, Gai Yue's leap still exceeded his expectations.
A single soul skill had raised a level ninety-five Title Douluo by a full level. Even the legendary Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda might not provide such a boost.
Oscar explained with a smile, "Teacher, this is the effect of my sixth soul skill. It can instantly raise the user's soul power level and maintain it for a full hour. The number of levels raised depends on the user's own foundation."
Hearing this, Gai Yue clenched his fists. This was like having a one-hour experience card for level ninety-six. He could also clearly feel the difference between level ninety-five and level ninety-six.
Many questions that had puzzled him were suddenly resolved, because right now he truly was a level ninety-six super douluo.
This meant that not only had his strength increased, but he could now carefully comprehend the difference between level ninety-five and ninety-six, gain insights from it, and save himself much trouble when he truly broke through in the future.
After Gai Yue shared his experience, Oscar's eyes lit up. If this soul skill were given to someone else, it might just be a top-tier auxiliary skill, but in Oscar's hands, it was far more than that.
If everyone could be like Gai Yue, take the sixth soul skill sausage, break through to a higher level, and then gain insights about that level...
Oscar could use his clones to mass-produce the sixth soul skill. Then his skill could work like enlightenment pills.
By continuously taking the Transcendence Black Gold Sausage, feeling the difference of the higher level, and then cultivating, soul masters could avoid detours and advance much faster.
And after each improvement, they could take the sausage again. This would create a positive cycle.
For example, Niu Gao was currently level eighty-eight. If he took the sausage and his level rose to eighty-nine or even ninety...
He could feel the difference of a level he had never reached before, and when the effect wore off, he would already have the experience. His breakthrough would then be much smoother.
Thinking of this possibility, Oscar was overjoyed. If this really worked, Niu Gao, Yang Wudi, and Bai He would all reach Title Douluo much faster.
Even Gai Yue and Dugu Bo's future breakthroughs would be much easier, saving them years of closed-door cultivation and searching for their paths.
Oscar's soul skill would let them "walk the path" in advance. Then, when they cultivated, they would only need to walk the same path carefully themselves.
Oscar could also use this soul skill to speed up his own cultivation. After all, soul masters always go into seclusion because they hit bottlenecks.
But this sixth soul skill meant that bottlenecks could be crossed first, and then revisited slowly at one's own pace.
Oscar had originally thought that this skill merely boosted soul power levels, but after Gai Yue's experience, he finally understood just how powerful it really was.
Of course, this power was unique to Oscar. If someone else had this skill, they might achieve some results but could never mass-produce sausages to provide them to so many people.
After all, using a soul skill consumes soul power. Other soul masters could not keep making sausages indefinitely without training their own soul power.
At best, they could provide them to only a few people.
But Oscar was different. He had clones. He could make clones to produce sausages, and he could even eat the sausages made by his clones to improve himself, without spending his own time.
The only price was a heavier drain on his mental power.
But that was fine. His mental power had already reached the Title Douluo level, and the number of clones he actively controlled was well within his limits.
What's more, the fifty-five-thousand-year Wisdom Head Bone he had won at the tournament was on its way. Once he absorbed it, his mental power would grow even stronger, so he had nothing to worry about.
Oscar suppressed his excitement and said to Gai Yue, "Teacher, I will make more Transcendence Black Gold Sausages for you. Perhaps you will reach level ninety-six very soon."
Gai Yue smiled slightly. "It's just a pity that the sausage can only be taken once per day."
Oscar replied, "This is already the smallest cost possible. The price of most food-type soul master skills is much higher."
Gai Yue nodded. "True, I am being greedy."
Oscar then told Gai Yue about the improvements to his physical body and mental power, which made Gai Yue envy him once more.
He had to admit, this disciple of his had truly brought him too many surprises.
While the two were chatting, Star Moon Lake began to tremble slightly. The next moment, the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python appeared before them like mountains, followed by another massive soul beast, equally colossal.
This soul beast was covered with armor-like fur, had a long, strong trunk, and upward-curving tusks. Its four limbs were like giant pillars holding up the sky. It was the Taishan Mammoth that the Sky Blue Bull Python had carefully selected as Oscar's sixth soul ring.
Seeing Oscar and Gai Yue chatting, the Titan Giant Ape said to Oscar, "Senior, Little Taishan has agreed to sacrifice itself for you. Have you broken through level sixty?"
Oscar smiled slightly. "Er Ming, I don't need it anymore."
As he spoke, six soul rings rose around Oscar's body. When the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python saw the blood-red sixth soul ring, both of them were stunned.
"A hundred-thousand-year soul ring?!" the Sky Blue Bull Python said in disbelief. "Senior, you… you succeeded?"
Oscar nodded. "While you were away these past two days, my teacher and I attempted to absorb the Evil God Pearl. My sixth soul ring is already settled."
After more than a year of getting along, Oscar and Gai Yue had become familiar with the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python. What had started as an alliance had become genuine acceptance of each other.
So Oscar had not hidden from the two beasts his intention to absorb the Evil God Pearl as his sixth soul ring, since the two beasts now truly regarded him as one of their own.
The success of Oscar's soul spirit method had given them hope for a new beginning for the soul beast race.
At present, most soul beasts becoming soul spirits were gravely wounded or near death, but since the beginning had been made, the future could only become more refined.
At least for now, this beginning was a good one. The soul spirit method brought new hope to those soul beasts near death.
If the soul master they sacrificed themselves for was talented, then after becoming a soul spirit, they would not be weak either.
Oscar was now studying how to make soul spirits inheritable. If successful, then when a soul beast became a soul spirit, it would in a sense achieve immortality.
Looking at Oscar's domineering soul ring configuration, the ninety-thousand-year Taishan Mammoth realized it did not need to sacrifice itself, but deep down it felt a little disappointed, as though it had lost a great opportunity.
Oscar withdrew his soul rings and looked at the Taishan Mammoth. He said to the Sky Blue Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, "Although I no longer need a soul ring, there is an elder in our sect about to break through to Title Douluo. At that time, this mammoth can sacrifice itself to him and become his soul spirit. That way, its sacrifice will not be in vain."
Hearing this, the Titan Giant Ape nodded. "I will tell it. Senior, tell us about the process of absorbing the Evil God Pearl. That thing was left behind by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Did it have any effect on you?"
Looking at the Titan Giant Ape acting like a curious child, Oscar was used to it by now. Although it sometimes seemed clever, once you got to know it, you realized it was just a simple-minded brute.
"Er Ming!" the Sky Blue Bull Python scolded the Titan Giant Ape. Such things were secrets to any soul master. Who just asks about someone's secrets so casually?
"It's fine," Oscar said with a wave of his hand, pointing to the Taishan Mammoth. "This isn't really a secret. Settle it down first, and then I will tell you in detail."
"During the process of condensing my soul ring, I had some new ideas about the soul spirit method. Ten-thousand-year and even thousand-year soul beasts could possibly provide two or three soul rings when becoming a soul spirit. If this idea works, it could reduce the number of soul beasts who need to become soul spirits."
Hearing this, the Sky Blue Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape became excited. The Titan Giant Ape immediately led the Taishan Mammoth away to arrange its residence, while Oscar discussed his ideas with the Sky Blue Bull Python.
