Douro Continent

Chapter 121 Star Dou Great Forest (Part 1)

Flander stood there with a cold face, looking completely impartial. His expression told the trainees in front of him that no one could get away with it.

Oscar was already grinning from ear to ear, his eyes gleaming with a lewd light, and he was giving Ning Rongrong special attention.

If he could, he really wanted to go up and hug Flander and kiss him a few times, thinking to himself, "Dean, I love you so much." Flander's actions not only earned him everyone's approval, but also brought Oscar himself immense psychological satisfaction.

Ning Rongrong ate my sausage, and just thinking about Oscar made her a little excited.

Oscar stretched out both of his hands at the same time, chuckled, and began chanting his soul incantation.

"I have a big sausage."

"I have a little sausage."

Two sausages, one thick and one thin, each with a distinct flavor, appeared in Oscar's hands. He chuckled and said, "Who wants to go first?"

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had taken similar courses before. Although they had some lingering trauma, they could still bear it. Just as the two were about to step forward and finish today's course with a short, sharp pain rather than a long, drawn-out one, someone else took the lead.

"I'll do it." With a crisp voice, Ning Rongrong strode up to Oscar, reaching out with both hands to pick up his large sausage and small sausage respectively.

No one expected Ning Rongrong to step forward first. Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, who were about to take a step, also stopped. They both wanted to see if Ning Rongrong would eat the sausage that Oscar's martial spirit had conjured.

Ning Rongrong's expression was calm, but her eyes, filled with resentment, betrayed her inner feelings. After all, she was still just a young girl, so how could she completely hide her emotions?

Yes, after a night of hesitation, she decided to stay. It wasn't that she had given up; rather, she wanted to prove herself to everyone at Shrek Academy. How? By surpassing all the students, by having stronger soul power than them.

Oscar's promotion to level 30 further stimulated Ning Rongrong's heart, which is why she was the first to step forward.

Looking directly into Ning Rongrong's eyes, Oscar suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Ning Rongrong picked up the large sausage and took a big bite, looking rather fierce.

Ning Rongrong ate Oscar's large sausage and small sausage in just a few bites.

At first, she was prepared to die, but after tasting the sausages and cured meats, she found that the two food spirits released by Oscar actually tasted quite good.

Especially that big sausage, after entering her stomach, immediately turned into a hot current that spread throughout her body. Having not slept all night, she was already very tired, but she clearly felt her spirits lifted and her body seemed to be full of energy.

Dean Flander is right, this guy's food-type martial soul is indeed outstanding.

Born into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong had naturally seen and eaten food-type spirit souls. However, none of the food-type spirit souls she had eaten before had an effect as quickly as Oscar's giant sausage. Even a food-type spirit master of level forty-something couldn't do that. This was entirely a matter of spirit soul talent.

Oscar's giant sausage comes with the effect of his first spirit ring: Recovery. This recovery is comprehensive, providing not only a feeling of fullness but also healing and stamina restoration. The recovery effect is directly proportional to Oscar's spirit power.

Oscar tentatively asked, "Are you hungry?"

Ning Rongrong turned around, her gaze sweeping over each student before finally settling on Dean Flander. She proved with her actions that she had the right to stay.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun ate the sausage and Chinese sausage that Oscar conjured one after the other, and Tang San was the fourth to emerge. Somewhat helplessly, he picked up the martial soul that Oscar had conjured for the fourth time.

If Ning Rongrong, a girl, could do it, what reason did he have not to? With this mindset, Tang San ate the sausage and cured sausage in a few bites.

Soon, he experienced the same feeling as Ning Rongrong, or perhaps even more pronounced. The warmth from the sausage made him feel completely comfortable, the pain in his internal organs simply vanished, and his whole body seemed to be filled with energy.

Tang San glanced at Oscar with some surprise; his perception of him had clearly changed.

At this point, only Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing remained who hadn't finished their lessons for the day.

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with a pleading expression, as if to say, "Can I not eat this?"

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "It's alright, it tastes good. Just think of it as food bought on the street."

Xiao Wu reluctantly went out fifth. She practically ate it with her eyes closed, then covered her mouth, forcing herself to swallow it while suppressing the urge to vomit. Fortunately, Oscar's sausage immediately turned into a warm current and entered her body without leaving any aftertaste. Even so, Xiao Wu's face still looked rather pale.

At this moment, among all the trainees, only Zhu Zhuqing had not completed today's task, and everyone's attention was drawn to her.

Zhu Zhuqing's cold face turned pale and then red, her pearly teeth gently biting her lower lip, but she refused to take a step.

Dean Flander suddenly said, "Zhu Zhuqing, if you want to one day defeat Dai Mubai and trample him underfoot, don't hesitate now."

Zhu Zhuqing paused for a moment, then looked at Flander. Flander gave her a rare smile and nodded meaningfully.

Dai Mubai was first taken aback, then looked helpless, while the fat man and Oscar beside him were already chuckling.

To everyone's surprise, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes suddenly hardened. She strode up to Oscar, quickly grabbed the sausage and small sausage from his hand, and ate them right there, even faster than Xiao Wu.

Dai Mubai stared at her blankly for a moment, "Do you really want to defeat me that badly?"

Zhu Zhuqing glared at him fiercely, but said nothing.

Flander nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good, you have all passed today's lesson. Remember, from now on, when you're together, Oscar will be your logistical support. Forget those meaningless soul incantations. Preserving your lives, becoming stronger, and unleashing your full potential, even exceeding expectations, is the most important thing. Now, each of you go back and prepare. You have one day to adjust and rest. Tomorrow morning, we will all set off, led by Teacher Zhao Wuji, to the Star Dou Great Forest to help Oscar obtain his third soul ring. This is not just Oscar's responsibility, but also a trial for all of you. Before encountering a thousand-year-old soul beast, Teacher Zhao will not easily intervene. Everything depends on yourselves. Alright, dismissed."

After two days of classes, Tang San discovered that Shrek Academy's teaching methods were very unique. Unlike Notting Academy, which had strict rules and regulations and daily class requirements, Shrek Academy used special methods to improve students' application of their martial souls through more meaningful practical combat and experience. This was undoubtedly much more effective than simply teaching theoretical knowledge. Moreover, he could sense that Dean Flander was not only tailoring his teaching to individual students, instructing them on how to become excellent soul masters, but also teaching them principles of life.

Oscar was visibly excited upon reaching level 30. When a Soul Master's Soul Power increases to a whole number level, that level of Soul Power no longer requires self-cultivation; upon obtaining a Soul Ring, the energy attached to the ring directly replenishes the Soul Power of that level, allowing the breakthrough to the next stage. It's extremely rare for someone like Tang San to directly reach level 13 upon obtaining his first Soul Ring, because he was born with full Soul Power, or rather, because his Mysterious Heaven Skill had reached a bottleneck.

Everyone returned to their respective dormitories. Although they were all considered geniuses of the younger generation, including Ning Rongrong, a prodigy, everyone knew the importance of cultivation. To become powerful, besides one percent talent, ninety-nine percent effort was required. While that one percent was even more crucial, how could they possibly skimp on the ninety-nine percent?

"Xiao San, we're going to the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow. What kind of spirit ring do you think I should get to better enhance the sausage's auxiliary effect?" Oscar didn't need to cultivate anymore; he was just waiting for tomorrow to arrive. As soon as he returned to the dormitory, he couldn't help but excitedly ask Tang San the question.

Tang San smiled and said, "That also depends on fate. There are all sorts of strange and wonderful spirit beasts, and no one can predict what kind of spirit beast you will encounter. Your first two spirit rings were for recovery and detoxification, so this third spirit ring can be either an additional auxiliary effect or an enhancement of the first two auxiliary effects. Oscar, you should have been to the Star Dou Great Forest, right? Tell me about the situation there."
