Chapter 507 Oscar's Sixth Spirit Ring (Part 2)

"Hot, don't worry about me, kill them first." Oscar shouted calmly, and at the same time, his body stopped moving forward and retreated rapidly.

Under normal circumstances, what he did was clearly unwise. Only by being closer to Haote could Haote have time to take care of him. But now he deliberately distanced himself from Haote, undoubtedly putting himself in danger.

A food-type Soul Emperor facing two agility-type Soul Emperors—to anyone, this should have been an unbalanced battle. The two agility-type Soul Masters' eyes were fixed on the Zhuge Crossbow in Oscar's hands; after all, the Zhuge Crossbow had left a deep impression on them. The terrifying weapon that could instantly destroy three Soul Masters was enough to chill them to the bone.

Out of caution, both Soul Emperors activated a protective skill and approached Oscar at great speed. In their view, Oscar's only advantage was the Zhuge Crossbow in his hand, and the Excitement Pink Sausage he had just eaten could only increase his speed by a little.

However, they still underestimated Oscar. For a food-type Soul Master to survive five years in this chaotic, frozen forest was no small feat, requiring far more than just luck. Oscar had never truly displayed his strength in public, but at this moment, he would not hold back.

His body sprang up rapidly, sprinting off to one side. The speed he unleashed in an instant startled both agility-type Soul Masters. They clearly sensed that Oscar was running entirely using his physical strength, not any Soul Skill. Yet, his speed seemed far too fast.

How could they know that Oscar, who had trained at Shrek Academy, had undergone the rigorous training of the Grandmaster and been nourished by Tang San's immortal herbs? His physical strength was far beyond that of ordinary food-type soul masters. Moreover, he had just consumed the Excitement Pink Sausage.

Of course, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't compare to the two agility-based Soul Emperors in front of him, and the distance between the three of them quickly closed.

Suddenly, Oscar stopped, pivoted on his left foot, spun around quickly, and raised the Zhuge Crossbow in his hand.

Both agility-type Soul Masters possessed strong self-control. Although they activated defensive skills, they were unwilling to confront the unknown weapon head-on. They paused almost simultaneously, then slid past each other, not giving Oscar a chance to lock onto them. The one closer had already skimmed the ground, bone spikes springing from his knuckles, aiming straight for Oscar's abdomen.

Oscar gave a cold smile, and his leg muscles suddenly tensed.

With a clang, six crossbow bolts shot out from the outside of his two thighs almost simultaneously.

Hidden weapons are all about surprise. At this moment, his Zhuge Crossbow was raised high. How could that agility-type Soul Master possibly expect such an attack to land on his thigh? In his haste, he didn't have time to attack Oscar, because he didn't know the power of Oscar's crossbow bolt. He slammed his hands on the ground, forcibly changing his forward momentum, and quickly flipped backward.

Despite this, he only managed to dodge three crossbow bolts; the other three still struck his defensive soul skill hard, producing a series of explosions.

This agility-type Soul Emperor was indeed formidable. While airborne, his fourth Soul Ring lit up, and two invisible wings appeared on his back. Although these wings weren't enough for flight, they could still change direction. Suddenly, in a mid-air maneuver, he arrived above Oscar's head. At this moment, his heart was filled with intense hatred, and he simultaneously reached out with both hands to grab at Oscar's head.

Another Soul Emperor was closing in from the side, only five meters away from Oscar. Undoubtedly, this was a sure-kill situation for Oscar.

Just then, Oscar suddenly made two inexplicable moves. He switched the Zhuge Crossbow to his left hand, raised his right hand sharply to block the two palms reaching for his head, and at the same time, he raised his right foot and stomped hard on the ground. In an instant, all six of his spirit rings glowed almost simultaneously, turning into an eerie gray.

The ensuing change completely stunned the two Soul Emperors. Oscar's right hand, raised in the air, suddenly grew larger without warning, at least three times its original size. Its entire palm was covered in a layer of snow-white hair, and it firmly and heavily gripped the Soul Emperor's downward-strike palms. A powerful force emanated from it, and the Soul Emperor in mid-air immediately felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and his entire body experienced a brief period of numbness.

On the other side, Oscar stomped his right foot on the ground, and a strong shockwave suddenly emanated. The Soul Emperor who had launched a sneak attack from the flank suddenly stiffened, and his entire body crashed into Oscar with inertia, his prepared Soul Skill being forcibly interrupted.

"Goodbye." A cold voice came from Oscar's mouth. He quickly lowered his head, pulled down with his right hand, and a thick crossbow bolt suddenly shot out from behind his neck, piercing straight into the throat of the Soul Emperor in the air. Meanwhile, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow in his left hand once again spewed out a deadly ray.

The Soul Emperor who had his soul skill temporarily interrupted and was charging towards him from the flank was sent flying by sixteen extremely powerful crossbow bolts, his body riddled with holes. The Soul Emperor in the air could not understand why Oscar's hand had become like this, or why a food-type Soul Master could use soul skills similar to Snow Soul Demon Bear Soul Saint Hao Te's Giant Spirit Palm and Earthquake Wave.

With a flick of his right hand, Oscar slammed the two agility-type Soul Emperors to the ground. Oscar swayed, his face turning pale. But his eyes shone with excitement. Killing these two agility-type Soul Emperors was far more than just resolving the immediate crisis. More importantly, killing them with his own strength symbolized a significant turning point in his Soul Master career.

As he wished, the Mirror Beast, with its 20,000 years of cultivation, finally granted him a soul skill perfectly suited to his needs: Mirror Sausage.

The effect of the Mirror Sausage is replication. However, its creation requires the blood of a Soul Master as a catalyst. If the Soul Master's Soul Power exceeds that of the creator, the creator will be able to unleash 70% of the power of their own Soul Skill of the same level. If the creator's Soul Power is lower than the Blood Master's, the creator will be able to unleash 80% of the power of all the Blood Master's Soul Skills.

The activation time is three minutes. In other words, Oscar, who ate the mirror sausage earlier, is equivalent to a Snow Soul Demon Bear Soul Master with 70% of the Soul Skill Power of a Level 60 Hot Soul Master within three minutes.

On the surface, Oscar's soul skill seems incredibly effective, given its ability to copy all soul skills. However, in reality, this soul skill has significant limitations. At level 60, possessing 70% of Hao Te's abilities for three minutes is essentially equivalent to a level 50 Hao Te. Furthermore, the two agility-type soul masters he killed were both stronger than him. The main reason they were killed was the element of surprise.

Oscar can only unleash 70% of his soul skill's power, yet he needs to expend 100% of his soul power to support it. The soul power required to make the Mirror Sausage is even more terrifying, equivalent to one-third of his current soul power, just to make one.

However, the best news for Oscar is that these Mirror Sausages have a long shelf life; each one can remain effective for a year after it's made. If a large number of high-level Soul Masters provide him with blood to make them, then under certain circumstances, he could barely be considered a Battle Soul Master.

In terms of raw power, Oscar, with his combat abilities, isn't particularly formidable. However, his unpredictability is enough to astonish any opponent. Who would have thought that a food-type Soul Master would suddenly possess offensive capabilities?

Moreover, among the original Shrek Seven Devils, Oscar was second only to Tang San in terms of intelligence. The situation just now was entirely his own calculation. Relying on the two hidden weapons Tang San gave him, the Zhuge Crossbow and the Tight-Backed Flower Crossbow, plus the suddenly appearing soul skill, he managed to kill two Soul Emperors in one fell swoop. Adding to the three he had killed earlier, out of a total of thirteen people, five were killed by him, a food-type soul master.

When Oscar returned to the other side, the four Soul Masters were already firmly suppressed by Hao Te, and in an instant, two Soul Kings collapsed first. The other two Soul Emperors, seeing Oscar return, were shocked and no longer showed any intention of resisting. But when they tried to escape, how could Oscar and Hao Te give them the chance?

With the final burst of power from the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and the overwhelming power of Hao Te's Martial Soul True Body, the last two Soul Emperors were decisively killed, thus ending this one-sided massacre.

Haote reverted to his original form. Although he was naked, he wasn't afraid of the cold thanks to his martial spirit. He looked at Oscar with some surprise, "Little Oscar, did you really get what you wanted?"

Oscar didn't hide anything and told Haote about his newly acquired sixth soul skill. At the same time, he quickly tore off his sweat-soaked and frozen clothes and took out a new set from his personal soul tool to change into.

Looking at the corpses scattered all around him, Haote couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Although these members of the hunting team were not exactly good people, they had followed him for some time after all.

Oscar noticed the disappointment in Haote's eyes. "Brother, don't overthink it. If we don't act and they discover the existence of the soul bone, and strike first, we'll probably be the ones dead by now."

Haote nodded silently. He knew, of course, that Oscar was telling the truth. If they didn't act first, they would likely be the ones who died in the end.

Especially the strongest member of his team, he will inevitably be their primary target.
