Continuous Good News

"Finally, that old woman is gone." Zhao Wuji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran left.

"There are people you're afraid of too, Teacher Zhao?" Ma Hongjun pouted.

"Nonsense!" Zhao Wuji glared at Ma Hongjun.

"I'm afraid of anyone whose Soul Power surpasses mine. As for that Snake Dowager, she's not much. The key is her husband, the Dragon Duke!"

"Those two are quite famous in the Soul Master world. You kids just don't know about them."

"How powerful are they?" Zhao Xuan's eyes lit up.

"Don't even think about it. Your power is still a bit weaker than mine, even with all your strange Soul Skills. Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill can go toe-to-toe with a Title Douluo."

Zhao Wuji said with some emotion.

"Fighting against a Title Douluo?!" Everyone present couldn't help but be shocked.

Dai Mubai subconsciously glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who frowned slightly and turned her head away.

"Alright, Oscar, hurry up and absorb the Soul Ring. We don't want any more trouble. It would be bad if the Snake Dowager brought the Dragon Duke here," Zhao Wuji urged Oscar.

Oscar was also startled. He feared he would regret it for the rest of his life if the Soul Ring he had obtained slipped away. Without hesitation, he killed the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent and began absorbing its Soul Ring.

"Xiao San. You should heal your injuries too."

Xiao Wu tenderly supported Tang San. Although Tang San wasn't as badly injured as Meng Yiran, he still had internal injuries.

Tang San nodded and sat down cross-legged to begin healing.

Everyone looked around vigilantly, guarding the two. Zhao Wuji was particularly worried that the Snake Dowager would return with the Dragon Duke to seek retribution.

About half an hour later, the Soul Ring that had appeared before Oscar gradually enveloped him. Above his two yellow Soul Rings, a radiant purple Soul Ring slowly materialized.

At that very moment, Oscar opened his eyes!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all the trouble, Oscar had finally advanced to Soul Elder.

"For you, we've completely offended the Peerless Dragon Snake, who can fight two Title Douluos," Ma Hongjun said sourly.

Zhao Wuji grabbed Ma Hongjun and tossed him backward, then asked, "Oscar, what's your Third Soul Skill?"

A look of excitement appeared on Oscar's face. He chuckled sinisterly, looking incredibly lewd.

"My Third Soul Skill is—" Oscar stood up, drawing out his words to build suspense before slowly revealing it.

"Flight!"

"Flight?!"

Everyone was stunned. Zhao Xuan looked at Oscar in disbelief, "Really?!"

Oscar put on a heartbroken expression, "As my confidant, how can you not believe me!"

Zhao Wuji couldn't stand it anymore and kicked Oscar, making him stumble. He said impatiently, "Just say it."

Oscar became obedient, but his face was beaming. He couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

"Third Soul Skill, Flight! Although it has a time limit, I can fly at the speed of the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent for one minute!"

"The speed of the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent?"

Recalling the speed of the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent just now, it was quite fast. In one minute, he could probably fly at least two kilometers.

"Not bad, kid!" Dai Mubai laughed and cursed. This was a divine skill.

Ning Rongrong looked at Oscar with a complex expression. Was this the kind of Soul Master she had looked down upon when she first entered the academy? A Food System Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power! Someone who broke through to Soul Elder at fourteen! With a Third Soul Skill called Flight! Each of these achievements struck her down completely, making her feel ashamed in comparison.

Zhao Xuan was very interested. Flight? Although his strength was good, he couldn't fly. He immediately leaned closer to Oscar, "Oscar, quickly give me one."

Oscar's smile faltered. He said sheepishly, "Don't laugh at my Soul Incantation."

"We won't!" Zhao Xuan, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai all promised solemnly.

Oscar looked at them suspiciously and whispered, "I have a Mushroom Sausage."

The words fell, and the entire place fell silent.

Oscar "swished" his head around to look at the three. After hearing Oscar's Soul Incantation, their faces tensed, and then an uncontrollable chuckle erupted from them. Even the girls and Zhao Wuji started laughing.

"You promised you wouldn't laugh!" Oscar said, somewhat annoyed.

"Ahem, sorry, I couldn't help it." Zhao Xuan stifled his laughter. Oscar really had a thing with sausages.

Looking at the finished product in Oscar's hand, Zhao Xuan's gaze suddenly froze, and his look towards Oscar became strange.

The others sensed the abnormality and followed Zhao Xuan's gaze. Instantly, everyone looked at Oscar with strange expressions.

The girls blushed furiously. Even the usually cold Zhu Zhuqing's earlobes turned red.

"Pervert!"

Hermione's eyes flickered, her face flushed red. She felt like her eyes had nowhere to go. How... how could such a Martial Soul exist?

"Freak!"

Ning Rongrong retracted her earlier opinion. Perhaps there was nothing to envy about a Food System Soul Master like this.

Although Zhu Zhuqing said nothing, her icy gaze seemed to cut Oscar like a knife, making him shiver.

"What are you guys talking about?" Xiao Wu asked, looking at everyone with a confused and dazed expression.

"Yeah, what's so strange..." Oscar was initially indignant, but when he looked down and saw his Mushroom Sausage, he was stunned himself.

"Damn, this is weird!"

Oscar's Mushroom Sausage generally maintained its sausage shape, similar in form to the large sausage from his First Soul Skill, but with a slight difference. A protrusion had suddenly grown from the tip of the sausage, forming a mushroom-like cap.

The appearance of this thing made it hard not to have dirty thoughts...

Facing everyone's stares, Oscar was speechless. He couldn't control this thing either. He said with grief and indignation, "It is what it is, are you going to eat it or not?!"

"What exactly is everyone talking about?" Xiao Wu asked the group, puffing out her cheeks.

Zhao Xuan coughed a few times, then walked over to Xiao Wu and whispered, "It's best to let Tang San recover before I tell you about this."

Zhao Xuan felt that if he told Xiao Wu about this and "corrupted" the pure innocence Tang San had cultivated, Tang San would probably hang him up when he woke up.

"What are you guys talking about?"

Speak of the devil, or rather, speak of Cao Cao and he awakens.

As everyone was laughing, Tang San, who was recovering from his injuries, suddenly opened his eyes and asked dazedly.

"Huh? Little San, you're better." Seeing Tang San awake, Xiao Wu was the happiest. She happily hugged Tang San's arm.

"It's nothing. Since you're fine, let's hurry back to the academy," Zhao Wuji clearly didn't want this topic to continue, as he still had worries in his heart.

"Wait a moment, Teacher Zhao," Tang San quickly called out.

"What is it?" Zhao Wuji asked with a frown. After all, the longer they stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest, the greater the danger.

"I've broken through to level thirty. I need a Soul Ring too."

"That's no big deal, it's just... Huh? What did you say? You broke through to level thirty too?"

Zhao Wuji didn't react at first, but after thinking about it, he suddenly rushed in front of Tang San and asked with wide eyes.

"That's right!" Tang San nodded, a hint of joy in his eyes.

"Little San, you're amazing." Xiao Wu's eyes lit up even more.

"Haha, good job, Little San. Although you're still a little bit behind me." Zhao Xuan said with emotion, genuinely happy for Tang San, but he had to put him down a bit. What if he got arrogant? Even though he was the most arrogant one...

Zhao Wuji also had a complex expression. He hadn't expected this trip to the Star Dou Forest to be so eventful.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and asked sternly, "Tang San, tell me, how old are you, to the month?"

"Twelve years and seven months."

"And you, when did you break through to Soul Elder?" Zhao Wuji turned to look at Zhao Xuan.

"Eleven years and ten months."

Zhao Wuji had originally intended to use the talents of Tang San and Zhao Xuan to motivate the other young Oddities, but he ended up being the one who was hit hard.

"You guys, sigh..." He originally wanted to say a few words, but seeing the expressions on the faces of the other young Oddities, Zhao Wuji gave up.

He wouldn't say anything more. Everyone looked utterly dejected.

They were clearly top-tier geniuses who could be considered as such anywhere else, so why did they feel like such failures here?

Everyone turned their gaze towards the culprits, their expressions complicated.

Zhao Xuan: "..."
