41: On the eve of the breakup

Oscar spit out a mouthful of blood after absorbing for less than fifteen minutes, but even with veins bulging on his forehead and drenched in sweat, he clenched his teeth and persevered.

"Xiao Ao!"

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun anxiously watched the still persevering Oscar, couldn't help but look at Dai Mubai, intending to tell Dai Mubai to stop Oscar, as Xiao Ao's current situation seemed quite dangerous.

"Wait a bit, believe in Xiao Ao."

Dai Mubai looked at Oscar, who was still struggling to persevere at this moment, glanced at the anxious Ma Hongjun, and comforted him.

"The lifespan of this Lunzhuan Frog is estimated to have reached twelve thousand years. We were careless. Xiao Bai, if anything else happens later, forcibly interrupt him."

Dugu Bo carefully observed the Lunzhuan Frog's lifespan again and also began to dissuade him. After all, for a food-type Soul Master, a twelve-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring was still a bit too much.

Hearing Dugu Bo's words, just as Dai Mubai was preparing to forcibly interrupt Oscar's absorption.

Oscar's condition began to slowly improve significantly. Seeing this, Dai Mubai looked at everyone, smiled, and shook his head, indicating that it seemed unnecessary for now.

"This little guy's perseverance is truly astonishing. If this little guy wasn't a food-type, his future achievements should be even higher than yours."

Seeing this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Oscar, then said he would stand guard and let the others rest first.

After glancing at Oscar, who was in a somewhat worrying state, the others chose to rest.

"Kid, your fourth Soul Skill is too abnormal, isn't it?"

Early in the morning, Dugu Bo's almost choked voice of shock woke up the three people who were meditating and cultivating.

"Xiao Ao! I thought you were going to kick the bucket. Next time you do something this dangerous, remember to give me your bankbook!"

As soon as Ma Hongjun woke up, he directly hugged Oscar. Oscar was quite touched at first by Ma Hongjun hugging him and saying that, but upon hearing the latter sentence, he couldn't help but kick Ma Hongjun away in annoyance.

"Xiao Ao, it's good that you're alright. By the way, how abnormal is your fourth Soul Skill? Let us see?"

Dai Mubai looked at the fine Oscar at this moment, nodded, and then began to ask.

After all, not long after experiencing Zhu Zhuqing's shocking feat, for Oscar's Soul Skill to shock Dugu Bo like this again, it must certainly be extraordinary.

"Hehe, watch carefully, Fourth Soul Skill: Reversal of Samsara Sausage!"

After Oscar used his fourth Soul Skill, a black and white sausage lay quietly in his hand.

"Xiao Ao, this isn't some poison that makes people kick the bucket, is it? This color makes me a bit scared to eat it."

Ma Hongjun couldn't help but tease as he looked at the black and white sausage in Oscar's hand.

"You want to eat it, but I won't give it to you yet. The effect of my Reversal of Samsara Sausage is to instantly recover thirty percent of your Soul Power and provide a ten percent increase to all attributes for three minutes. Furthermore, if you are severely injured or have exhausted your Soul Power, there's a very high chance of instantly recovering forty percent of your Soul Power."

After hearing Oscar's introduction, the three of them were completely stunned.

Even Dai Mubai hadn't expected Oscar's fourth Soul Skill to be this abnormal, instantly recovering Soul Power while also providing an increase to all attributes.

"Hahaha, Xiao Bai, aren't you not calm either?"

Dugu Bo couldn't help but laugh triumphantly upon seeing Dai Mubai's shocked expression.

Seeing Dai Mubai's shocked appearance at this moment also made him feel much better inside, after all, Dai Mubai always had a poker face normally.

"He's my brother too! What are you being smug about? Xiao Ao, how many of your fourth Soul Skill can you make at once, and how long can they be stored?"

After regaining his composure, Dai Mubai couldn't help but emphasize to Dugu Bo that Oscar was from his academy. Then he eagerly began to ask Oscar about the other details of his fourth Soul Skill.

"I can make a maximum of seven at once, and making seven will directly consume forty percent of my Soul Power. They can be stored for up to two days without the effect changing."

Seeing Dai Mubai excited for the first time, Oscar also smiled and truthfully said.

Meanwhile, Dai Mubai's mind was filled with thoughts of Oscar's divine skill, which could play a decisive role in future battles against Title Douluo and even Gods.

"Xiao Ao, I was wrong, I love eating your sausages the most, please don't not give them to me."

Seeing Oscar's fourth Soul Skill was so heaven-defying, Ma Hongjun immediately changed his attitude and started flattering him.

However, Ma Hongjun's words caused Oscar to become gloomy, and everyone else's expressions varied.

After bidding farewell to Dugu Bo, the four finally returned to Shrek Academy three days later.

As soon as they returned to the academy, they saw Ning Rongrong arguing with Yu Xiaogang.

"You were the one who insisted I team up with your disciple for a Soul Duelling match. After losing, you keep pointing out my flaws? Are you kidding me?"

Ning Rongrong had had enough of Yu Xiaogang these past few days. After losing a team Soul Duelling match with Tang San, Yu Xiaogang started incessantly emphasizing her shortcomings, saying that she was a burden to Tang San, which was why they lost the match.

In reality, they had bad luck in that Soul Duelling match and were matched against two level 39 Soul Venerables, both of whom were defense-type. Tang San naturally didn't want to waste his Dragon Whisker Needles on them, so they lost that match.

Seeing that Ning Rongrong, a support-type Soul Master, dared to openly confront him like the four others, Yu Xiaogang immediately seized on the fact that Ning Rongrong had the lowest Soul Power among the seven and started belittling her.

"Rong Rong, you are currently the one with the lowest Soul Power among the seven students, still in the Soul Grandmaster stage. If you had reached the Soul Venerable stage, would you have lost this Soul Duelling match?"

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong felt some anger surge, but was helpless, as Yu Xiaogang was stating a fact. At this moment, a frivolous voice came.

"Rong Rong, let's take you to play in the Soul Grandmaster arena, why bother getting angry with Grandmaster? You're level 29 now, and some people might only reach this level in their entire lives, hahaha."

Ma Hongjun walked at the front, looking at the Grandmaster and the other two, speaking with full provocation, as he wouldn't give Yu Xiaogang any face when Flander wasn't around.

"You..."

Grandmaster was instantly hit in his most sensitive spot by Ma Hongjun's words. He could only suppress his anger, pointing at Ma Hongjun for a long time without being able to say a complete sentence.

"Ma Hongjun, how dare you be disrespectful to teacher! Apologize!"

Seeing Ma Hongjun's arrogant attitude towards his teacher, Tang San once again stood up for his teacher.

"Alright, Grandmaster, if I can prove to you that your theories are wrong, will you stop pointing fingers at us?"

Dai Mubai stopped Ma Hongjun, who was about to speak, and turned the spearhead towards Yu Xiaogang.

He was planning internally to make these three scram quickly within the next few days and also prepare for the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition, as Dai Mubai hoped that the others could win the championship without him having to step in.

"Hmph, if you can prove that my theories are wrong, then I will leave Shrek Academy!"

Seeing that Dai Mubai had steered the conversation to his "area of expertise," Yu Xiaogang arrogantly stated that his theories could not be wrong.

"Oh? I heard Grandmaster say that the limit for the fourth Soul Ring is around five thousand years. Release your Martial Soul!"

Dai Mubai glanced at Yu Xiaogang with eyes like he was looking at a clown. As his words fell, the three behind him also revealed their Soul Ring configurations.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the three's uniformly ten-thousand-year fourth rings and couldn't help but shake his head and mutter.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. This must be an illusion-type Soul Skill."

And Ning Rongrong also couldn't help but widen her eyes, cover her mouth, and look at the three. A ten-thousand-year fourth ring would make one a peerless genius outside, so why was it so common here?

Looking at Yu Xiaogang, who seemed to have gone mad, Zhu Zhuqing signaled Ning Rongrong to leave. Before the five left, Ma Hongjun also left a sentence for Yu Xiaogang.

"Go ask the dean about the lifespan of my and Oscar's third Soul Rings, stop being obsessed with your so-called theories, hahaha."

Tang San looked at the departing crowd. At this moment, he couldn't help but exude killing intent all over, and a sense of powerlessness slowly rose. His current level 34 was already his limit.

However, Tang San looked at the finished Hidden Weapons in his hand, a cold smile curving his lips. He planned to take action within the next two days to eliminate those who opposed him.

Inside the girls' dormitory at night.

"Zhu Qing, why did your Soul Power increase so quickly, and you can even withstand a ten-thousand-year fourth ring?"

Ning Rongrong pulled Zhu Qing and began to ask.

Seeing Ning Rongrong's determined look, Zhu Zhuqing looked at the pretending-to-be-asleep Xiao Wu, remembered what Dai Mubai had instructed her to do, and spoke without hesitation.

"That's because Mu Bai gave us Immortal Herbs. Immortal Herbs can change a Soul Master's physique and increase their potential. Moreover, I gained several levels after taking them without any side effects."

After Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, she saw Xiao Wu's ear twitch. She knew that what Dai Mubai had arranged for her to do was finished, so she quickly pulled Ning Rongrong and changed the topic.
