Douluo Continent, my martial soul is a mushroom.

Chapter 58 A Hundred Martial Arts

"A food-based team like Shrek Academy is far too arrogant!"

Someone muttered a curse under their breath.

The person next to me glanced at it.

"If you're so capable, then you can be just as arrogant! That Chi Ping is also a food-type, even though he's crippled, do you think he's weak? This Oscar hasn't really shown anything yet, but I don't think he'll just be there to feed us."

"It can't be that bad, it's just a food-type character after all..."

……

"Hey kid, come here!" Oscar stretched out his right hand, beckoned, and acted extremely arrogantly.

He didn't get a chance to shine in the qualifiers because his teammates were too strong.

—Let's use this strategy.

The captain of Yerken Academy was furious. "Martial Soul Possession! Battle Blade! Slash!"

"Straightforward moves are the best to dodge."

As Oscar spoke, he turned sideways, effortlessly dodging Captain Yerken's attack, and slapped him on the back of the head from behind.

It doesn't cause much harm, but it's extremely insulting.

Captain Yerken, unable to bear the humiliation, activated his third soul skill, his speed surging, and swung his sword horizontally, shouting, "Die!"

Oscar dodged the attack with a bridge maneuver, using his hands for support and kicking his legs into the back of the knife.

Captain Yerken instantly lost his balance.

Oscar pressed his advantage, and after regaining his footing, kicked Captain Yerken in the back again.

With a loud thud, he fell face-first into the mud.

"What's this! If you've got the guts, fight me head-on!"

The team members from Yerken College were filled with excitement in the audience.

"Soul Masters should engage in head-on battles; what kind of skill is petty theft!"

"You can't even beat a petty thief, yet you expect to see my true skills?" Oscar looked up, almost shoving his nose at the students of Yerken Academy, his tone extremely contemptuous.

—The first step was successful.

Fourth Soul Skill - Blood Blade Frenzy!

Behind Oscar, Captain Yerken's battle blade spirit glowed with blood, the five-foot blade extending to nearly 3 meters before being swung out with a deafening force capable of splitting mountains and cleaving seas.

"Sneak attacks won't work."

Oscar took a step forward, skirting the blade to dodge the attack.

Captain Yerken gritted his teeth and swung his knife repeatedly.

Oscar remained calm and composed, moving with fewer steps than Captain Yerken to escape the reach of the blades, flitting among them like a butterfly among flowers.

In combat, speed is a relative concept. If you can achieve the effect that others take three steps to accomplish in two, how can that not be considered "high speed"?

"What exquisite footwork!" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Xin shook his head. "Feng Zhi, you've misunderstood. This isn't footwork; it should be classified as a fighting style, a combat strategy."

Oscar always managed to step precisely outside the blade's attack range. If the blade touched him one meter away, he would retreat one meter away; if it touched him two meters away, he would retreat two meters away, never taking a step more or less.

Position yourself on the verge of missing, enticing your opponent to keep attacking. Use the fewest movements possible to deplete your opponent's maximum stamina.

This requires keen eyesight, sound judgment, and courage.

This style of play is most effective at demoralizing opponents. Look, that kid Yerken's mind is starting to waver.

Just as Chen Xin said, Captain Yerken was already envious.

Oscar reminded him of a gamer with a sliver of health who was frantically jumping left and right at the edge of his attack range. He always felt that if he took one more step, he could kill him, but he was always just one step away from getting close.

Several times! Dozens of times! Hundreds of times!

No one can stand being teased like that.

If your mind is in disarray, your breathing will become disordered, your strength will be unstable, and your swordsmanship will fail to hit your target.

All kinds of martial arts, this is the ultimate combat method!

It's extremely effective against melee idiots who can't unleash projectiles.

If a support-type Soul Master wants to fight against a combat-type Soul Master, they shouldn't try to outmaneuver them with speed and strength, but rather use their awareness and agility to wear them down.

Fifteen minutes later.

"Finished? It's my turn."

Oscar calmly and unhurriedly took two steps toward the exhausted Captain Yerken and kicked him unconscious.

"Next."

"Bastard! Prepare to die!"

The second student from Yerken Academy launched a thrusting soul skill as soon as he entered the arena.

"Oh my! So fierce, huh?" Oscar teased.

—Another idiot! It's a pity we can't use weapons, otherwise, placing a knife in his path would be the best solution against such a fragile, agile attacker.

For Oscar, who has mastered intuition, unless there's an absolute attribute advantage, it's difficult to land a hit easily. If you miss, you'll suffer a crushing defeat under his ultimate combat tactics.

Agility-type Soul Masters usually don't have as much stamina as strength-type Soul Masters; this time, Oscar took five minutes.

"Next."

The third student at Yerken Academy was a sinister fellow whose martial soul was the Ghost Vine.

"I'm not one of those two brainless fools. You're just going to fall into my sea of ​​vines!"

The third spirit ring activated, and the Ghost Vine attacked Oscar from all directions.

Intuition activated, and Oscar instantly found a gap in the Ghost Vine, leaping out from it.

"Control system, huh!"

Oscar was having a bit of a headache.

"The type I'm worst at dealing with!"

"Since that's the case, then admit defeat!" the sinister-looking guy said in a sinister tone.

Oscar escaped Ghost Vine's encirclement once again. "It's just that I'm not good at it, not that I have no other way. I'm going to fight seven of them in one go for my own happiness. You're the one who should admit defeat!"

Intuitive Enemy Lock, Soul Power Six Styles - Shave!

Strong attacks counter agile attacks, agile attacks counter control attacks, and control attacks counter strong attacks.

While this statement isn't entirely accurate, it can generally be used as a reference.

With 20% of his soul power as output, Oscar unleashed a speed in an instant that was no less than that of an agility-based soul master!

Although it was only one move, it was enough for Oscar and the sinister soul master to close the distance.

Soul Power Six Styles - Finger Pistol!

By targeting a specific point, one can defeat the enemy instantly.

All kinds of martial arts, this is the swift attack tactic!

Oscar pierced the ghostly vines blocking his path with a single finger, his finger brushing past the sinister Soul Master's ear, the swirling wind even tearing his earlobe.

"Next!"

……

"This move..."

Bishop Salas of the Spirit Hall looked at Oscar with suspicion and uncertainty.

He remembered that Ikehira had used a similar move.

—So, this kind of self-created soul skill is widespread...?

Salas narrowed his eyes and said to Ning Fengzhi, "Congratulations, Sect Leader Ning! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's long-cherished wish has been fulfilled. I wonder how Sect Leader Ning plans to obtain this child's self-created soul skill?"

Ning Fengzhi feigned surprise, "Doesn't Bishop Salas know that the soul power techniques Oscar used are completely public knowledge at Shrek Academy? Anyone who wants to obtain these techniques can simply send someone to learn them, as long as they pass the assessment. Is the Spirit Hall really so incompetent that they can't even pass the assessment of a single academy?"

Salas sized up Ning Fengzhi, muttering to himself.

—Would this guy really be that kind? Could there be a trap?

Ning Fengzhi didn't care what Salas was thinking.

Shrek Academy's existence and teaching principles cannot be hidden; this top-tier institution is bound to come into the view of all forces on the continent.

This is Chi Ping's ideal, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not stop him; in fact, they would be happy to see it happen.

If Chi Ping needed it, Ning Fengzhi would even be willing to let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School become Shrek Academy's backer! It's just a pity that Chi Ping is unwilling.

"Uncle Jian, what do you think of Oscar?"

At this moment, Oscar was already facing off against the fourth student from Yerken Academy. His opponent was a defensive-type Soul Master, and Oscar was using his ultimate combat technique to wear down his opponent's stamina while simultaneously recovering his Soul Power. At the same time, he was using the small sausage to treat the poison left by the Ghost Vine.

Chen Xin thought for a moment and said, "His combat awareness and talent are both top-notch. If he could wield a suitable weapon, he might be able to fight against other Soul Masters of the same level without being at a disadvantage. He should have practiced swordsmanship, but the sword is just his weapon; he's not an expert in it. The rules of the Soul Master Competition have limited his performance."

Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up.

Chen Xin is an expert in swordsmanship. If he says Oscar practices swordsmanship, then Oscar must have practiced and is at a certain level, otherwise Chen Xin wouldn't have brought it up on his own initiative.

"Uncle Jian, do you think Rongrong and Oscar can end up together?"

Chen Xin looked at Ning Fengzhi, her gaze gradually turning dangerous. "Fengzhi, what are you thinking about?"

Given his and Gu Rong's identities, they could still protect Ning Rongrong and help her find her own happiness.

Ning Fengzhi quickly said, "Xiao Ao and Rongrong both have feelings for each other, I just want to go with the flow."

Seeing that Ning Fengzhi didn't seem to be faking it, Chen Xin's gaze softened. "Oscar, huh! If he wants to marry Rongrong, he'll have to pass my and Old Bones' test first! But this kid is good enough for Rongrong. If they truly love each other, I won't object."

Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "That's good then."

On the stage, Oscar restored himself to his best condition, then activated his fourth soul skill, "I Have a Big Sausage," ate a large sausage to enhance his physical abilities, and then used his left foot to activate the sixth form of soul power - Finger Pistol, kicking the opposing defensive soul master off the stage.

"Next!"

……

In the end, Oscar successfully achieved a seven-game winning streak, proving his strength to Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi!
