Chapter 506 Oscar's Sixth Spirit Ring (Part 2)

In these teams that hunt soul beasts, he could only serve as a logistical support. Sometimes, he was even abandoned.

The Soul Masters who join the hunting squads not only possess ample combat experience, but what's most terrifying is their cold-blooded nature. Only those solely driven by self-interest would join such a team. In a life-or-death situation, even within the same team, no one will do anything for those around them; self-preservation is paramount. For a food-type Soul Master like Oscar, with no offensive capabilities, to survive in this environment for five years is a miracle in itself. This is certainly related to his extremely useful Martial Soul, but it's also closely linked to his own intelligence.

It was precisely because of this immense pressure, constantly reminding him, that Oscar was able to break through again in just five years, reaching level sixty. It's important to understand that reaching level sixty is far more difficult than for ordinary Soul Masters. And he's only twenty-two years old this year. He's absolutely a genius among geniuses. Of course, within this team, only the Soul Saints around him know his true age.

For a full hour, in this icy, snowy world, Oscar was drenched in sweat, his winter clothes completely soaked. Yet, he didn't utter a single sound. In terms of willpower, he was now no less than Tang San.

Finally, all the cold air currents in his body merged into one, turning into a faint ripple that completely integrated into his body, and Oscar, who was facing away from most people, slowly opened his eyes.

As he opened his eyes, drawn by the energy, the Soul Saint in front of him also naturally opened his eyes. Just as he was about to ask a question, he saw Oscar's eyes flicker.

The two had been working together for quite some time. The Soul Saint immediately realized something. He didn't speak, but instead gave a questioning look.

Oscar looked at him, then at the completely stiff soul beast in front of him, his gaze lingering on the soul beast's head.

Soul Saint's pupils contracted instantly. He understood perfectly what Oscar's gaze meant in this situation. His entire body tensed, and his eyes sharpened. He knew that with this thing appearing, his team was now meaningless. Even his two seemingly loyal subordinates closest to him would not easily let this thing go.

As the strongest member of the team, he will undoubtedly be attacked by the group after the soul bone is discovered.

Oscar's gaze fell on the Soul Saint again. This time, the light in his eyes had changed; it was an extremely ruthless gleam, and a chilling aura emanated from them.

Soul Saint immediately understood his meaning; among the entire team, only the two of them could completely trust each other. Without time to consider, he could only nod slightly to Oscar.

Letting out a long breath, Oscar slowly stretched out his arms and stood up. His Martial Soul activated, and six spirit rings appeared on his body simultaneously: two yellow, two purple, and two black. Each additional spirit ring represented a qualitative leap, and his entire demeanor had subtly changed.

"Congratulations, congratulations." The members of the hunting team were immediately drawn to Oscar.

Oscar turned around, a smile on his face, and said, "This is all thanks to everyone. Thank you all for your support. Anyway, my newly acquired soul skill will also be helpful to everyone in the future. Would you like to take a look?"

For Soul Masters, demonstrating their Soul Skills to others is a sign of trust. Oscar's actions undoubtedly pleased the Soul Masters present. Of course, Oscar's words also successfully captured their attention. There's no rush to dismember the Soul Beast's corpse.

Oscar chuckled, "My sixth soul skill is a bit strange; it can't be used by my own strength alone, I need help from others. Brother Haote, I'll trouble you." His last words were directed at the Soul Saint. As he spoke, he pulled a foot-long black box from his pocket and quickly fumbled around on it, producing a series of mechanical sounds. Before this, only Haote, who was beside him, had ever seen him use this thing.

Haote asked, "How can I help you?"

Oscar said, "I need a drop of your blood." His choice to ask Hott for help seemed perfectly normal to everyone else, and no one suspected anything.

Haote frowned, but still raised his right hand and extended it in front of Oscar. He flicked his thumbnail against his index finger, instantly cutting a wound from which a drop of blood rolled out.

"I have a mirror-image intestine." The incantation is still shocking.

Oscar moved quickly. His sixth spirit ring suddenly shone brightly, and a circle of black light surged from his palm, instantly absorbing the drop of blood. Immediately afterward, a strong fluctuation of spirit power surged from his palm, and the sixth spirit ring continued to expand and contract repeatedly.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on his hand, where a pale silver sausage slowly took shape amidst the intense fluctuations of soul power.

Oscar said, "Brother Haote, please release your martial spirit."

Hao nodded, a glint in his eyes, and his aura suddenly became violent. A dense wave of soul power emanated from him, and his body suddenly grew larger, his muscles bulged, and his hair turned white amidst the heavy aura.

Two yellow, three purple, and two black spirit rings—seven rings in total—were suddenly released. This spirit saint named Haote possessed the Snow Soul Demon Bear, a spirit that combined offense and defense, boasting extremely powerful attack and defense capabilities.

Oscar stretched out his left hand and quickly recited two incantations: "I have a pink sausage, I have a pink sausage."

Now that he has reached level 60, using his fourth soul skill is naturally much faster than before. Two excited pink sausages appeared in his palm in front of everyone.

No one else knew what he was up to, and since he was a food-type Soul Master with no offensive capabilities, no one suspected anything. They just watched with curiosity.

Oscar swallowed a pink sausage himself and handed another to Hott, saying, "Eat this first, then use your seventh soul skill."

Without hesitation, Haote swallowed the pink sausage, and at the same time, the seventh spirit ring on his body shone brightly. Even when facing the Mirror Beast before, he suddenly released his Martial Spirit True Body.

Amidst the gasps of the other Soul Masters, Hao Te's clothes burst open instantly, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a giant bear, seven meters tall and extremely robust.

Its entire body was covered in white fur, and a layer of frost-like chill emanated from it, perfectly complementing the already frigid, frozen forest. The thick aura seemed to tangibly emanate from the surrounding air. Especially amplified by Oscar's excited pink sausage, his eyes had turned red, adding to his overall ferocious aura.

At the same time, Oscar quickly stuffed the silver sausage he had created with his sixth soul skill into his mouth and shouted, "Attack!"

With a clanging sound of the mechanism exploding, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow had already spat out deadly arrows. At such close range, coupled with the Zhuge Divine Crossbow's terrifying rate of fire, the attack power of the sixteen crossbow bolts bursting out in an instant was absolutely terrifying.

The three closest Soul Masters were immediately caught in the crossbow bolts' attack range. Among them were two Soul Kings and one Soul Emperor. Given enough time to prepare, they could naturally withstand the attack using their fourth or higher Soul Skills. But did they have time to prepare?

How powerful were the hidden weapons Tang San created? This was a complete sneak attack. He had just dealt with a powerful soul beast and Oscar had received the benefits of a soul ring. Who would have thought that a food-type soul master like him would suddenly launch an attack at this moment?

More than ten bursts of blood mist erupted in the air, and without a doubt, the bodies of the three Soul Masters were completely pierced. Even more terrifying was that Oscar's Zhuge Crossbow bolts were coated with a deadly poison personally concocted by Tang San, capable of causing instant death upon contact with blood. This poison, specially formulated by Tang San, was attached to the bolts and its effectiveness would not diminish with use; each contact with blood would cause the poison to continue to accumulate.

The toxin spread instantly, and the three Soul Masters, their eyes wide with disbelief, slowly collapsed. At this moment, Soul Saint Hao Te, who had consumed the Excitement Pink Sausage, also moved. Unleashing his Martial Soul True Body, and further enhanced by the Excitement Pink Sausage, he pounced forward, smashing the heads of the two Soul Kings before they could even react.

At this moment, there were eight remaining Soul Masters, including four Soul Kings and four Soul Emperors. They were also seasoned Soul Masters who had fought many battles. Although they did not know why Oscar and Haote had suddenly launched an attack, they reacted immediately and released their Martial Souls as they retreated quickly.

Oscar calmly re-drawn the trigger of his Zhuge Crossbow, and instead of retreating, he charged forward alongside the massive Haote.

Although there is only one level difference between Soul Emperor and Soul Saint, the difference lies in the Martial Soul True Body. Hao Te, who has unleashed the Martial Soul True Body, is like a tiger among sheep. In the midst of the frenzied power, the eight Soul Masters who did not have time to join forces were completely unable to resist. One Soul Skill after another was used on him, but they had no effect at all. In the blink of an eye, two more Soul Kings died at his hands.

"Take down that bastard Oscar first!" Someone shouted, and two Soul Emperors quickly circled around from the side and rushed towards Oscar. The other four, who had fully reacted, quickly formed a circle around him. Of course, they didn't expect to kill Hao Te themselves; they just wanted to keep him occupied. Once Oscar was dealt with, the six of them could then attack Hao Te, giving them at least a chance to win.

By this time, most of them understood that Haote and Oscar's sudden attack was definitely related to the Mirror Beast that had been killed. Only the Soul Bone could allow them to unleash their killing spree without restraint.
