Douro Continent

Chapter 524 Oscar, Ning Rongrong

After leaving the teahouse, Oscar returned, and Tang San, no longer in the mood for his own business, decided to return to the academy with him. He didn't want anything to go wrong after Oscar and Ning Rongrong met, especially since Ning Rongrong might bring Ning Fengzhi along.

After leaving the teahouse, Oscar put his bamboo hat back on. Tang San knew that Oscar was still very concerned about his disfigured appearance. Without saying much, the two quickly returned to Shrek Academy. Just as they were about to enter the academy, Oscar froze, stopped in his tracks, and stared motionless in one direction.

"Third Brother, I'm back! Pretty quick, right?" Ning Rongrong, arm in arm with Ning Fengzhi, walked towards the academy. Bone Douluo followed quietly behind them. Even within Heaven Dou City, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School dared not relax its protection of its sect leader.

Five years had passed, and Tang San noticed that Ning Fengzhi had aged. His temples were now gray, and the youthful vigor he once possessed had faded. He now had a more composed demeanor and a more reserved aura. The smile that had graced his face for so many years had turned into indifference.

Upon seeing Tang San, Ning Fengzhi was also taken aback. Although Ning Rongrong had told him that Tang San's appearance had changed drastically, he still hadn't expected that the change would be so significant, encompassing both his looks and his demeanor. Just as Ning Rongrong had said before, if the two of them were to suddenly meet, he would absolutely not recognize Tang San.

Soon, the two had come together. Ning Fengzhi looked Tang San up and down and smiled, "It's hard to believe! A change in a martial soul can completely transform a person. Little San, I see another miracle in you."

Tang San bowed and greeted, "Hello, Uncle Ning. It's been a long time." Oscar, who was beside him, also bowed but did not speak.

Ning Fengzhi's gaze fell on Oscar. "And who is this?" With outsiders present, he naturally wouldn't say anything to Tang Sanduo.

Tang San patted Oscar on the shoulder but didn't say anything. Some things he had to face on his own.

Tang San could clearly feel Oscar's body stiffen under his palm. He sighed inwardly, but he hardened his heart and did not try to smooth things over for him. He simply waited silently for Oscar's response.

After an internal struggle, Oscar finally mustered his courage, raised his hand with difficulty, and slowly pulled down the straw hat on his head.

When Tang San patted Oscar on the shoulder, Ning Rongrong's expression had already become somewhat strange. For some reason, her heart suddenly started racing. She stared intently at the gradually lowering bamboo hat.

When the bamboo hat could no longer conceal his face, Ning Rongrong's face turned deathly pale, her entire body froze, her eyes instantly reddened, and a layer of mist welled up in her eyes.

Oscar's eyes also reddened, and he spoke with difficulty in his hoarse voice, "Sect Leader Ning, Rongrong, I'm back."

"Waaah—" Ning Rongrong burst into tears, rushed to Oscar, and pounded his chest with both hands, but couldn't say a word.

Seeing Oscar remove his straw hat, Ning Fengzhi was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth. Especially when he saw the long scar on Oscar's face, a trace of emotion appeared in his eyes. Like Tang San, he didn't say anything, but just stood there silently watching the couple who had been separated for five years.

Oscar let Ning Rongrong pound on his chest, but did nothing, only the tears streaming down his face soaked his full beard.

Ning Rongrong's crying showed no sign of abating, but she seemed to have tired herself out from pounding on him. Suddenly, she opened her arms and hugged Oscar tightly around the waist, pressing her soft, delicate body against his, as if trying to merge herself into his body.

A surge of passion coursed through Oscar's body, and in that moment, he no longer cared who was around. He pulled Ning Rongrong tightly into his arms, trembling as he embraced his lover as if he were embracing the heavens and the earth. At this moment, neither his eyes nor his heart could accommodate anyone else.

"Sect Master." Gu Rong stood quietly beside Ning Fengzhi, her eyes filled with a pleading light.

Ning Fengzhi sighed softly and nodded to him.

Tang San, observing coldly, naturally saw all of this. A smile appeared on his face as he lowered his head and kissed the little rabbit on the forehead in his arms.

Ning Fengzhi said to Tang San, "They haven't seen each other for so long, they must have a lot to talk about. Little San, take me to your place. Didn't you have something to tell me?"

Tang San nodded and led the way, taking Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo into Shrek Academy. Oscar and Ning Rongrong remained completely unaware of their departure, lost in the joy and excitement of their reunion.

Walking along the path within Shrek Academy, Ning Fengzhi said, "Xiao San, I've heard everything Rongrong has about you. Please accept my condolences. I believe you can definitely revive Xiao Wu."

Tang San nodded. "Thank you, Uncle Ning. I will definitely try my best."

Ning Fengzhi suddenly asked, "Mistress, what do you think about Oscar and Rongrong's situation?"

Tang San thought for a moment and answered Ning Fengzhi with the simplest of sentences, "I believe Oscar will protect Rongrong with his own life."

Ning Fengzhi sighed softly, "I understand. Every one of you Shrek Seven Devils is a genius."

Tang San smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment. Uncle Ning, I had Rongrong invite you here today because there's something important I'd like to discuss with you. I only want your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to know about this, and I don't want it to have any connection with the Heaven Dou Empire. Is that alright with you?"

If it were an ordinary young Soul Master, Ning Fengzhi probably wouldn't even bother with him. Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was destroyed, he was still one of the former sect leaders of the three upper sects. Tang San's words were essentially negotiating with him.

However, Ning Fengzhi would never simply walk away from Tang San. On the contrary, he took Tang San's words very seriously. Even disregarding the Clear Sky Sect behind Tang San, Tang San himself was a force to be reckoned with.

Leading the Shrek Seven Devils to victory against all rivals and win the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, he created so many exquisite hidden weapons. If it weren't for Tang San's hidden weapons, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School might have met the same fate as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Although Ning Fengzhi didn't say it outright, he always remembered this kindness in his heart.

Ning Fengzhi spoke with the seriousness of someone addressing a business partner of equal standing: "Although I don't know why you insist on excluding the Heavenly Dou Empire, I can agree to your request. I also look forward to cooperating with you. Just say what you have to say."

A faint blue light emanated from Tang San's body. The blue light did not spread widely, only enveloping him, Ning Fengzhi, and Bone Douluo. This faint halo was not noticeable unless one looked closely, and it moved as the three of them moved forward.

"A domain?" Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong were both taken aback. Although they didn't have the same deep understanding of martial souls as Grandmaster, they were still clear about the energy emanating from Tang San. That was a special ability that only Title Douluos could possess! Among the two Title Douluos of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, even Bone Douluo didn't have a domain; only the severely injured Sword Douluo did. In that battle, it was Sword Douluo, with Ning Fengzhi's assistance, who displayed his might and defeated his opponent, turning the tide of battle and preventing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School from being destroyed.

At this moment, the aura of a domain emanated from Tang San, which naturally surprised the two high-ranking members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Tang San didn't hide anything, "This is an ability that appeared after my Blue Silver Grass awakened for the second time and transformed into the Blue Silver Emperor. I use it to block out sound, so outsiders can't hear our conversation."

Ning Fengzhi said with some amazement, "Little San, every time I see you, you give me a big surprise, and it seems this time is no exception."

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, this is just the beginning of the surprises I'm about to bring you." Releasing the Blue Silver Domain wasn't just to block out sound; he was also subtly demonstrating his abilities to Ning Fengzhi, because what he was about to do was indeed an equal negotiation. He needed to secure a more advantageous position for himself.

If possible, Tang San would never want to cooperate with anyone when establishing the Tang Sect. However, realistically, that's impossible. He's a young Soul Master in his early twenties, and his family is self-contained. Without any external support, he can't do anything with his meager resources. Therefore, he must rely on external forces. Of course, Tang San chooses those he can absolutely trust. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Ning Rongrong to find Ning Fengzhi to avoid the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family finding out.

Ning Fengzhi said with great interest, "Tell me about it. I'm sure you can give me a pleasant surprise."

Tang San smiled slightly and began his narration in the space where sound was isolated using the Blue Silver Domain.

At first, Ning Fengzhi listened to Tang San with a smile on his face, but gradually, Ning Fengzhi's expression became serious. He listened to Tang San's words while nodding frequently and occasionally asking questions, which Tang San answered one by one.

Bone Douluo, who was standing nearby, looked surprised as he listened to their conversation, and his gaze toward Tang San became strange.

The story continued all the way to Tang San's residence. Upon returning home, Tang San summoned Ma Hongjun and had a private discussion with Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong.

The crying subsided, and Ning Rongrong nestled in Oscar's arms, breathing softly.

Five years had passed, and Oscar had lost the naiveté of his youth. Now twenty-two, his full beard gave him a mature air. Sensing the distinct aura of a grown man emanating from him, Ning Rongrong closed her eyes, clinging tightly to his waist, as if afraid that everything before her was just a dream, and that the moment she opened her eyes, the dream would end.

Oscar simply held Ning Rongrong in his arms, neither of them wanting to say another word. They just quietly spent time together, feeling each other's heartbeats.

Five years have passed, a full five years. The lovers are finally reunited. No matter what taboos Oscar may have had before, he has completely forgotten them now. He would rather hold Ning Rongrong like this forever and never let go again.

In this atmosphere, they lost track of time until Ning Rongrong moved slightly due to her stiffness, causing their hearts, which were connected, to tremble simultaneously.

"Rongrong." Oscar called softly, stroking her long, smooth hair.

"Mmm," Ning Rongrong replied softly, slowly raising her head to look at Oscar's peach blossom eyes, which were now filled with a soft glow. A sweet smile involuntarily appeared on her pretty face.

"You've become more beautiful, but I've become uglier," Oscar said with a sigh.

Ning Rongrong naturally noticed the scars on his face. She raised her hand, stroked the scars on his face, and shook her head. "No, it's that you've become more mature. Compared to the you before, you are much more secure now."

Oscar smiled wryly, "It seems I was worrying unnecessarily. The mistress was right, why would you care about my appearance? Rongrong, do you know, I've thought of you constantly for the past five years. Whenever I encounter powerful enemies or insurmountable obstacles, as long as your image appears in my mind, I'm filled with courage. No matter how difficult, I've overcome it. My efforts haven't been in vain. This time, I will never be separated from you again. I believe I can definitely conquer Sect Master Ning and make things easier for you and me."

"Mmm." With her beloved man by her side, Ning Rongrong was incredibly docile, nodding gently and tightening her grip on Oscar's waist.

"Huh? Where did Xiao San and Sect Leader Ning go?" Oscar only then realized that it was just the two of them left. There were also students standing guard at the academy gate not far away, peeking in their direction.

"Huh?" Ning Rongrong looked up, somewhat bewildered, at the empty surroundings. Her pretty face immediately turned bright red with embarrassment. She punched Oscar in the chest. "It's all your fault. They... they'll definitely laugh at me."

Oscar smiled slightly; Ning Rongrong's approval filled him with confidence. "Then let them laugh. Rongrong, let's go in too. I need to ask Sect Leader Ning for something."

Ning Rongrong nodded, took Oscar's hand, and leaned her body against his arm before the two entered the academy.

By the time they returned to their lodging in the woods, more than an hour had passed. As soon as the two entered the courtyard, they saw Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo coming out, accompanied by Tang San and Ma Hongjun.

"Uncle Ning, then it's settled. For a long time to come, the Tang Clan will have to rely on your support," Tang San said with a smile.

Ning Fengzhi patted his shoulder and said gently, "Although Brother Tang Hao has retired, he must be very pleased to have such a good son as you. What we discussed today isn't about who supports whom; from the sect's perspective, it's mutually beneficial. Don't worry, only a few of us know about this. I'll handle things with the royal family. I've already been careless once, almost bringing the sect to ruin. There will never be a second time. After you've chosen the Tang Sect's address, have Rongrong inform me. I'll secretly send over what you need. If anything comes up, have Rongrong relay the message. We can't meet too frequently, lest we attract attention."

Tang San nodded and said, "I understand, don't worry. Rongrong and the others are back."

All eyes turned to Oscar and Ning Rongrong, who had just entered the courtyard. Ning Rongrong was so embarrassed that she couldn't lift her head, but she still held Oscar's hand tightly.

Oscar paid his second visit, respectfully bowing to Ning Fengzhi, "Sect Leader Ning, greetings."

Ning Fengzhi looked at his daughter, then at Oscar, sighed, and said, "You silly boy, why were you so determined to leave back then? Do you know how Rongrong has been all these years? Although the sect has its rules, as the sect leader, shouldn't I consider my daughter's happiness?"

Oscar was overjoyed. "So, you're saying you agree to Rongrong and me being together?"

A bitter smile appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face. "Even the sect's location has been destroyed. What use are the old rules now? You young people should handle your own affairs. I only have one piece of advice for you. Always remember, in my entire life, Ning Fengzhi has only one daughter, Rongrong. Do you understand?"

Oscar felt a chill run down his spine and said solemnly, "Sect Leader Ning, rest assured, I now possess the strength to protect Rongrong. Anyone who wants to harm Rongrong will have to step over my dead body first."

Ma Hongjun stared wide-eyed at Oscar. He had already heard from Tang San that Oscar had returned. Although Oscar's change was not as thorough as Tang San's, his resolute appearance was still quite different from before.

"Sect Leader Ning, if Xiao Ao treats Rongrong badly, we will not let him off the hook."

Oscar and Ma Hongjun exchanged a glance. Although neither of them spoke to the other, the unspoken brotherly bond instantly warmed the atmosphere.

Bone Douluo suddenly spoke up, "Oscar, you said you already have a certain amount of power to protect Rongrong. I want to know what that power is. As a support-type Soul Master, if even her closest person can't protect her, frankly, I still can't rest easy. Rongrong is the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and I've always treated her like my granddaughter. You've been gone for five years; let's see what you've accomplished."

Hearing Bone Douluo's words, Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly. They had all heard what Oscar said when he left. They also believed that Oscar wouldn't easily return without achieving certain accomplishments. They all wanted to know what it took for a food-type Soul Master to protect a support-type Soul Master.

Oscar nodded. He hadn't expected that he could win over Ning Fengzhi simply by using his feelings for Rongrong.

He squeezed Ning Rongrong's hand reassuringly and took a few steps forward. He could clearly feel Ning Rongrong's concerned gaze behind him, and a surge of pride welled up in his heart.

"Little San, lend me a drop of your blood," Oscar said to Tang San.

Tang San didn't ask why. He drew his right thumb across his middle finger, flicked his finger, and a drop of blood slowly flew towards Oscar.

Tang San's hidden weapon technique was incredibly powerful. The drop of blood flew very slowly, giving Oscar enough time to react. When the blood reached him, it fell even more slowly.

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong nodded secretly at this scene. They had even more confidence in what Tang San had told them earlier.

Oscar smiled slightly, his soul power surged, and in an instant, six perfectly matched soul rings appeared on his body.

Seeing these six spirit rings, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong couldn't help but nod secretly. No matter what, Oscar hadn't wasted his time over the years, and his spirit power level was no lower than the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils. Thinking that these kids were only in their early twenties, they couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Five years ago, in terms of pure strength, the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation could still suppress the Shrek Seven Devils. But today, five years later, the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation would be lucky to even match them. And don't forget, the Golden Generation is significantly older than the Shrek Seven Devils.

"I have a mirror image of my intestines."

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.

Suddenly, a look of pain crossed Oscar's face, and his previously confident eyes were now filled with horror. Then, the silver sausage in his hand changed; what had been a single sausage suddenly split into a smaller one, both now appearing in his palm. Oscar discovered that his soul power wasn't reduced by a third as it had been when creating the mirror sausage before, but rather by half.

Once the two silver sausages, one large and one small, were formed, Oscar finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Tang San with some helplessness, saying, "Little San, the effects of your blood are just too powerful."

Tang San recalled the silver light Oscar had consumed when they first met, and he had some idea of ​​what Oscar's sixth soul skill was like. He smiled and said, "Then hurry up and show us the effects of your sixth soul skill."

Oscar chuckled and said, "A demonstration always needs an opponent. You're out of the question, Fatty. Come on, we brothers haven't seen each other for so many years, let's have a match first and get to know each other better."

Ma Hongjun pointed to his nose. "Xiao Ao, are you kidding me? You want to spar with me?"

Oscar nodded without hesitation and gestured for Ma Hongjun to proceed.

Ma Hongjun looked at Tang San, who gave him an affirmative look, while Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong on the other side both became very interested.

A food-type Soul Master is challenging a power-attack-type Soul Master. Although their Souls are a level apart—Ma Hongjun is only a Soul King—don't forget that Ma Hongjun's Soul King Soul is a Fire Phoenix. If he hadn't cultivated as diligently as Tang San and Ning Rongrong, he should already be around level 60. In terms of explosive power, he's definitely among the top in the Shrek Seven Devils.

Ma Hongjun slowly walked to a stop ten meters away from Oscar, cracked his knuckles, and looked at Ning Rongrong with a wicked grin. "Don't worry, Rongrong, I'll go easy on you."

Oscar said irritably, "Come on, I don't need you to hold back." As he spoke, he had already eaten the silver sausage in his hand. Of all his six soul skills, only this sixth soul skill would not lose its power when used on himself because he had eaten it.

Ma Hongjun's chubby body swayed slightly, and crimson flames suddenly rose up, distorting the surrounding air and releasing surging heat. The intense flames seemed to form a phoenix pattern behind him.

To everyone's surprise, Oscar was the first to make a move. A flash of silver light appeared in his eyes, and before the fat man could react, more than ten Blue Silver Emperors, a mixture of blue, gold, and red, suddenly rose from the ground, instantly forming a Blue Silver Cage that enveloped the fat man's fiery body.

Ma Hongjun was taken aback. The next moment, Oscar's right arm was raised, and a bright golden light mixed with a touch of blood began to rapidly condense on his right arm.

"This is..." Ning Fengzhi's eyes widened.

Oscar's face remained calm and expressionless, but the soul power emanating from him was extremely dense.

The energy emanating from Oscar's arm finally alerted Ma Hongjun to the danger. No longer daring to be careless, he suddenly intensified the flames around his body, unleashing two powerful amplification skills simultaneously: Phoenix Rebirth and Phoenix Wings Soaring to the Sky.

However, the blue silver cage that imprisoned him remained unmoved under such intense heat, enveloping his body with unwavering solidity.

Oscar's replica Mirror Sausage used Tang San's blood as a catalyst. Although he expended more soul power to create this sausage, it replicated Tang San's strength, including the dual attributes of ice and fire immunity contained in his blood. Even the Phoenix Flame couldn't melt the Blue Silver Emperor.

However, Ma Hongjun's years of cultivation had not been in vain. He took a deep breath, and his stomach swelled up. The flames around his body dimmed and faded considerably. A solid beam of fire suddenly shot out from his mouth. Rather than a line of fire, it was more like a sharp arrow formed from solidified flames.

With a deafening boom, the enhanced and compressed Phoenix Fire Line slammed heavily into the blue-silver cage before it. The powerful explosion instantly blasted a gap in the cage.

Although Oscar had copied Tang San's soul skill, he had already consumed half of his own soul power when he used his sixth soul skill earlier. Supporting Tang San's fifth soul skill, the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, immediately made him feel somewhat powerless. He couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself, but he had no choice but to do his best to channel his soul power into his right arm.

Ma Hongjun unleashed three consecutive breaths of Phoenix Fire upon the Blue Silver Cage, finally shattering the solid barrier. His massive fiery wings unfurled, and he pounced towards Oscar. Simultaneously, his fourth spirit ring shone brightly, signaling the activation of his powerful follow-up control skill, Phoenix Roaring Strike, which amplifies explosive power.

Regardless of whether Oscar can dodge the speed of Phoenix Wing Soaring, even if he can, Ma Hongjun will inevitably unleash his explosive power. With the continuous release of the Waves Crashing on the Shore attack, Oscar, who is not yet familiar with Tang San's soul skills and has already consumed a lot of soul power, will find it difficult to withstand.

Just then, Oscar's eyes flashed with silver light again, and everyone only saw a blur before their eyes as one Oscar suddenly multiplied into two. The second Oscar then brandished countless Blue Silver Emperors in his hands, heading straight for Ma Hongjun to block them.

Mirror Image, a skill of the Mirror Skull. After activating the Mirror Skull effect, Oscar's Mirror Sausage replication ability increases by 10%, meaning that the replication soul skill's original 70% effectiveness is increased to 80%. Simultaneously, an identical copy of himself is created, possessing 80% of the original's abilities, lasting for one minute.

This is all the benefit that the Mirror Beast with 20,000 years of cultivation brought to Oscar. That extra 10% boost is a special boost from absorbing all the soul rings and soul bones produced by the same soul beast.

Suddenly having Oscar added to the mix, Ma Hongjun felt a little out of place. Although the clone, weakened by 20%, couldn't harm him due to his powerful burst of energy, it was enough to provide some protection. With a deafening roar, Phoenix Roar Strike struck the clone. At the same time, Oscar's long-prepared Blue Silver Overlord Spear was finally complete.

The clone crumbled without a doubt before Phoenix Roaring Strike, but the crimson-gold Overlord Spear had already reached the fat man.

Ma Hongjun's combat experience was far superior to Oscar's, who had only recently begun close combat. He remained calm in the face of danger, raised his right arm, and unleashed a burst of intense flames that transformed into a three-meter-long fire phoenix, directly confronting the attack of the Blue Silver Overlord Spear.

This is the Phoenix Burst Strike skill attached to the right arm, the prize Ma Hongjun received after the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. The soul bone combined with his martial soul formed this skill. It allows for the instantaneous unleashing of a powerful explosive fire attack, its power no less than the final burst of Phoenix Roar Strike, while consuming very little soul power. It can be considered Ma Hongjun's secret weapon. It was precisely because he possessed this soul bone that his phoenix flames gained the explosive attribute, a significant advantage against fire-immune individuals like Tang San.

boom--

A violent roar suddenly erupted, and intense fluctuations of soul power scattered in all directions. Bone Douluo flashed forward, already standing in front of Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi. Tang San, on the other hand, quickly retreated a few steps.

The intense fluctuations of soul power caused the wooden house behind them to tremble. Fortunately, both of them controlled their skills to release them into the air as much as possible after the collision, which prevented an irreversible result.

Ma Hongjun was already under the stun effect of the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, but Oscar wasn't faring much better. He wasn't Tang San; while the Blue Silver Emperor granted fire immunity, Oscar himself wasn't immune. Coupled with his clone being destroyed and his soul power being severely depleted, he was no longer able to pursue. If the fight continued, Ma Hongjun would undoubtedly emerge victorious.

Of course, this doesn't mean Oscar's soul skills are weak. Rather, it's because his Mirror Image Sausage was made on the spot, not pre-made, which resulted in insufficient soul power to support more soul skills. Furthermore, he didn't fully understand how to use Tang San's soul skills.

However, Oscar was clearly unwilling to admit defeat. He stretched out his left hand, and black light surged. Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his grasp. Unfortunately, his wrist sank, and the Clear Sky Hammer fell to the ground and disappeared.

Under the influence of Xiao Wu's soul bone, Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer evolved to a terrifying 800 jin (400 kg), something Oscar couldn't possibly lift now. He only copied Tang San's soul skills, not Tang San's physique.

Ma Hongjun had recovered from his dizziness and clearly saw the Clear Sky Hammer in Oscar's hand fall to the ground. He couldn't help but say, "Damn, Oscar, when did you get both of Third Brother's martial souls?"

Oscar smiled wryly, "What's the use of having it temporarily? I'm not very good at using it yet. Besides, I used up too much of my soul power before."

Ning Fengzhi, who had recovered from his surprise, said, "That's enough for now. Oscar, could you tell us about the effects of your sixth soul skill? Also, if I'm not mistaken, you should already have a soul bone, right?"

Ning Fengzhi, after all, was the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He had already gleaned much from the battle between Oscar and Ma Hongjun. Ma Hongjun was no ordinary Soul King; with his strength, even a typical Soul Emperor would be no match for him. Oscar was clearly not proficient in using the copied soul skill and had even consumed a large amount of soul power in the process, yet he still managed to hold his own against Ma Hongjun for a period of time without falling behind. This was extremely impressive for a food-type soul master.
