Oscar

Biodata

Appearance

Oscar is notably handsome, with striking peach-blossom eyes. Ning Rongrong initially finds him pleasant to look at, while Ma Hongjun considers his looks an advantage in attracting women 5 6 12.

• Eyes: Described as enchanting and expressive 3.
• Grooming: Gets up half an hour early to improve his appearance while pursuing Ning Rongrong 12.

Personality

Oscar is sensitive to the treatment of support Soul Masters. He initially avoids arguing with Tang San because they are roommates, but speaks up when Tang San disparages their role. He particularly resents Tang San apologizing to the well-connected Ning Rongrong while ignoring him, a commoner 3.

His attraction to Ning Rongrong becomes an obsession. Despite having previous romantic experience, he places her above every woman he has known and continues pursuing her after an explicit rejection. His jealousy contributes to his willingness to deceive her and arrange for Jiang Qin to be beaten 6 12 13.

Oscar’s desire to impress her repeatedly conflicts with his fear of stronger personalities. He abandons an attempted defense of her when Flender threatens punishment, and later withdraws rather than confront an enraged Dai Mubai 7 23.

His loyalties can shift quickly when he feels grateful or believes his relationship with Rongrong is threatened. He defends Jiang Qin after their reconciliation and briefly calls Tang San “third brother” after the serpent battle, only to lose that gratitude during Tang San’s next outburst 18 25 27 28.

Abilities & Skills

Big Sausage

Oscar supplies Big Sausages as a food-type support Soul Master and regards himself as the team’s original healer 6 16.

• Regular support: Provides sausages to his companions on a daily basis 16.
• Recovery aid: Offers one to Dai Mubai after the lightning strike and feeds one to the exhausted Tang San after the serpent battle 5 27.
• Limitations: His sausages are acknowledged as less effective than Jiang Qin’s pills. Tang San shows no improvement after being forcibly fed one while severely injured 18 27.
• Combat limitations: Normally cannot overpower Tang San physically; he only manages to force-feed him because Tang San is exhausted 27.

Cooking

Oscar usually handles cooking because a kitchen is a relatively suitable mimetic environment for a food-type Soul Master 6.

• Demonstrates practical cooking knowledge, including how vegetables release their own moisture during stir-frying 6.

Prospective Flight Skill

Jiang Qin recommends a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent as Oscar’s third Soul Ring because of its exceptional speed and wings. A flight-type Soul Skill is presented as a possibility, not a guaranteed result 25.

• Oscar never absorbs this serpent’s ring; Meng Yiran receives it instead 30.
• His later lament for a “Flying Big Sausage” describes the ability he hoped to obtain, not an acquired skill 31.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Early Academy Disputes and Training

Oscar joins Ning Rongrong and Dai Mubai in rebuking Tang San for insulting support Soul Masters. His interest in Rongrong is already apparent: he particularly admires her outspoken, haughty manner 3.

He later asks Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun for help winning her over. During Flender’s running drill, Oscar and Rongrong are assigned twenty kilometers, twice the distance given to the other students. He offers to shelter her from the wind and follows when she quits, hoping to plead her case. Instead, Flender frightens him into returning to the track with ten additional laps, damaging Rongrong’s opinion of him 6 7.

The Staged Rescue

After Rongrong rejects his confession and grows close to Jiang Qin, Oscar adopts Dai Mubai’s plan to stage a heroic rescue. Scar’s gang is hired to block the couple, beat Jiang Qin, and break a cup as the signal for Oscar to emerge 12 13.

The scheme fails because Scar knows and respects Jiang Qin. Huang Xiaoliu inadvertently exposes the arrangement, and Oscar enters before realizing that Jiang Qin is unharmed. Rongrong slaps him and orders him away. Scar’s men then beat him while Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun flee rather than provide their promised support 13 14 16.

Oscar returns to the dormitory bruised and limping. He condemns his friends for abandoning him and complains that Jiang Qin has displaced him both as a healer and in Rongrong’s affections. Ma Hongjun proposes a new scheme: accusing Jiang Qin of staging the incident to frame Oscar 16 18.

Conditional Dating and the Loan Agreement

Before the accusation can proceed, Ning Rongrong offers Oscar a nominal relationship under strict conditions. He accepts enthusiastically and reconciles with Jiang Qin 18.

Tang San mistakes the encounter for Jiang Qin bullying Oscar. Oscar slaps him twice for interfering and calls on Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun to beat him. He later asks them to ease up without actually stopping the punishment 18 19.

Oscar subsequently becomes bound by a loan agreement connected to Jiang Qin’s system. Although still jealous of Rongrong’s closeness to Jiang Qin, he refrains from interfering because of his promise 20 23.

The Third Soul Ring Hunt

Oscar participates in the Shrek group’s unsuccessful fight against Canghui Academy students before entering the Star Dou Great Forest. There, Jiang Qin identifies a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent as a suitable source for his third Soul Ring. Oscar responds with tearful gratitude and condemns his own earlier behavior toward Jiang Qin 23 25.

After Tang San severely weakens the serpent, Oscar briefly feels grateful enough to insist on feeding him a Big Sausage. He then approaches the dying beast with a knife, but Chao Tianxiang interrupts and claims it for Meng Yiran 27 28.

Zhao Wuji attempts to negotiate, but Tang San’s boasting and subsequent outburst undermine his efforts. Faced with Chao Tianxiang and Meng Shu’s approaching presence, Zhao Wuji yields the serpent. Meng Yiran absorbs its ring, leaving Oscar without his third ring and lamenting his lost chance at flight even while Tang San apologizes 29 30 31.

Relationships

• Ning Rongrong — Romantic fixation and conditional dating partner. Her agreement is part of a plan with Jiang Qin to retaliate against Oscar, rather than a genuine change in her affections 17 18.
• Jiang Qin — Rival in both healing and romance, later publicly accepted as his “good big brother.” Oscar becomes sincerely grateful when Jiang Qin helps select his prospective third Soul Ring 16 18 25.
• Dai Mubai — Close companion whose approval Oscar seeks. Dai devises the staged rescue but abandons him when it fails; he later supports Oscar against Tang San 5 6 14 19.
• Ma Hongjun — Friend and fellow schemer. He helps plan retaliation against Jiang Qin and attacks Tang San after Oscar calls for assistance 16 18 19.
• Tang San — Roommate with whom Oscar repeatedly clashes over insults, unwanted intervention, and the failed Soul Ring acquisition 3 18 31.
• Flender — Academy dean whom Oscar fears enough to abandon his attempt to defend Rongrong 7.
• Zhao Wuji — Teacher and leader of the Soul Hunting expedition; negotiates unsuccessfully to secure the serpent’s ring for Oscar 25 29 30.
• Scar — Gang leader hired for Oscar’s staged rescue who turns against him after recognizing Jiang Qin 13 14.
