Oscar Catches On

Flender glanced at the very confident Oscar in front of him and nodded slightly, saying:

"You've got quite the presence, kid! Why don't you be the first one to awaken your Martial Soul? Let me see if you're qualified to be a student at the Shrek Academy."

Oscar clenched his fists, trying to cheer himself up. The dashing scene of Flender kept replaying in his mind. Oscar had never been so eager to awaken a good Martial Soul, nor had he ever longed for the life of Soul Master.

Oscar took a deep breath and, under the expectant and curious gazes of the village children, headed towards the Martial Soul Awakening Soul Tool. Flender smiled slightly at Oscar's courage and directly activated the Martial Soul Awakening Soul Tool, saying, "Let me see what kind of Martial Soul you will awaken, the hidden genius that Yu Xiaogang is so concerned about."

As Oscar Martial Soul Awakening Soul Tool began to emit Soul Power. He felt as if he were in the starry sky, surrounded by countless starlight. As the light entered his body, Oscar felt comfortable all over, as if he were soaking in warm water. Moreover, Oscar felt as if he could hear the sound of a seed sprouting, as if something inside his body was about to emerge.

Oscar subconsciously stretched out his right hand and saw countless points of Soul Power converging. Oscar stared blankly at the Martial Soul in his hand. He thought he had missed the Martial Soul Awakening event held by the Spirit Hall last year, and Oscar even made a special effort to learn about the classification of Soul Master.

"Dean, what's my Martial Soul like? Can I become a student at the Shrek Academy?"

Oscar looked expectantly at Flender, who was somewhat surprised. After awakening his Martial Soul, Flander felt a warm energy flowing through his body. That must be the legendary Soul Power, right?

Oscar noticed that Flender hadn't answered his question, and then he saw that Dean Flender was looking at something above his head. He looked over instinctively and found that a semi-transparent screen had appeared above his head.

Fortunately, Oscar had learned to read from the old village chief, and he could still understand it, so he subconsciously read it aloud:

Name: Oscar (already recorded in the database) Martial Soul: Sausage (benign mutation) Innate Soul Power: Level 10

Physical strength: Average (It is recommended to increase nutritional intake and physical exercise)

"Haha! Good! You're called Oscar, right? On behalf of the Dean of the Shrek Academy, I formally invite you to join my Shrek Academy! You can receive the best education. Oscar, you're an unprecedented Innate Full Soul Power support-type Soul Master in the history of the Douluo Continent. As expected, Xiaogang wasn't lying to me!"

Flender burst into laughter. He had been skeptical when Yu Xiaogang came to find the legendary genius. At first, he didn't believe that Yu Xiaogang could test Soul Master's talent before his Martial Soul had awakened. Flender didn't understand the intricacies of the matter. He only knew that he was going to take on a genius disciple and would first trick Oscar into joining Shrek Academy!

Oscar was stunned by the incredible news. All he knew was that he had caught the eye of this powerful Lord Soul Master. He suppressed his joy and eagerly exclaimed:

"Dean! I would be very happy to the Shrek Academy!"

Flender smiled, nodded, and waved to Oscar:

"Alright Oscar, come over here to the dean. We'll talk after the dean has finished awakening the Martial Soul of the remaining children in your village. But Oscar, do you still have any adults at home? Shrek Academy is quite far from here."

Oscar's eyes dimmed instantly, the joy of awakening a top-level Martial Soul vanished in an instant. He said to Flender in a dejected tone, "Dean, my father passed away last year, and my mother doesn't want me anymore. She left the village a long time ago and married someone from another village. I'm just a burden."

Upon hearing this, Flender sighed. This was a true reflection of the lives of ordinary people at the bottom of society. He could only use the influence of the Dragon Gate Sect to help the villages around Notting City. Flender smiled kindly and patted Oscar's little head to comfort him:

"Oscar, Shrek Academy will be your home from now on. I, Dean Flender, will take you as my disciple. You'll have to call me teacher from now on! I will definitely train you to become the first food-type support Titled Douluo in the Douluo Continent!"

Oscar's eyes lit up instantly, and feeling Flender's warm, large hand, he nodded emphatically:

"Yes, teacher!"

Oscar's address of "teacher" made Flender extremely happy. Finally, he had a disciple who was a top-notch Soul Master genius. He no longer had to envy Yu Xiaogang's disciples. He, Flender, had his own disciple.

Next, the remaining four children stepped forward one by one to awaken their Martial Soul, but no one else emerged as a genius like Oscar. They all had ordinary Martial Soul like scythes and chopsticks. There was one other child with Food-type Martial Soul like Oscar, Meat Bun, but his Innate Soul Power was only level three.

Flender first gave the child with the Meat Bun- Martial Soul Meditation Method optimized by Yu Xiaogang, then gave the old village chief a bag of Gold Soul Coin and said to him:

"Old village chief, you gave that bag of Gold Soul Coin to that Meat Bun Martial Soul kid. He has good talent, so if he cultivates hard, he can become Soul Grandmaster in the future."

The old village chief, along with the children and villagers, were extremely grateful, as their village finally had a child who would become Soul Master. They believed that when the child grew up, he could repay the village in return.

Flender went with Oscar to pack his belongings and also to visit his father's grave to tell him that he had awakened a top-tier Martial Soul and had found a very powerful teacher.

Flender, seeing Oscar sobbing uncontrollably at his father's grave, went over to comfort him, patted his head, and said:

"Oscar As long as nobles and royal families of various duchies still exist on the Douluo Continent, commoners will not be able to live a good life. You must study hard and learn what your teacher teaches you. Only when you become stronger will you be able to change all this unfairness to commoners."

Oscar wiped away his tears and couldn't help but think of the noble dogs who came to the village to collect taxes. His father had been beaten and died of illness because he couldn't pay his taxes, and his mother had left for another place to make a living, leaving him, her burden, behind.

After listening to what Teacher Flender said, Oscar's eyes hardened as he said, "Teacher, I will work hard to cultivate! I want to become stronger! That way I can protect my family. But teacher, how can I become stronger? My Martial Soul is Sausage, which doesn't seem to have any offensive power!"

Flender immediately revealed a mysterious smile and said to the bewildered Oscar, "Teacher Oscar, I'll teach you something today. With the advent of Soul Tool, the dividing line between the Power Attack Department and support types has become blurred. You saw the road I opened up for your village today, didn't you?"

Oscar recalled the awe-inspiring red energy beam and nodded subconsciously, saying, "Yes, teacher, was that the power of Soul Tool?"

Flender smiled confidently and patted Oscar's head, saying:

"This is the power of Soul Tool weapon. Moreover, a unique feature of Soul Tool is that they do not require the involvement of Martial Soul; only Soul Power is needed. Although only auxiliary Defensive Soul Tool are sold on the market, this was intentionally done by your Martial Uncle. According to your Martial Uncle Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, Douluo Continent is a powder keg, and it cannot be ignited any further."

Flender took out his personal Flying Soul Tool from his Storage Soul Tool, put it on, grabbed the bewildered Oscar by the back of his collar, activated the soul tool defense shield, and soared into the sky. Amid Oscar's screams, Flender burst into laughter.

Flender still prefers to carry people like this. He used to grab Yu Xiaogang's shoulders and fly him when Yu Xiaogang was still struggling, and now it's his apprentice's turn.
