Departure for the Forest, Nighttime Conversation
"That's easy!" Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang immediately jumped out and confidently expressed her opinion.
As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang's eyebrows rose, his smile overflowing, as if he could decide Oscar's future with a single word. Seeing everyone anticipating his next speech, Yu Xiaogang's vanity was satisfied like never before.
Hehe, you guys are all so strong usually, but when it comes to this, you still have to rely on my knowledge and wisdom!
"Oscar's Martial Soul is a sausage, undoubtedly a representative of the Food Type and Support Type, and his Innate Soul Power is as high as level ten. Such talent is truly rare in my life."
After praising Oscar's Martial Soul and talent, Yu Xiaogang revealed a sly smile. The main story begins now.
Yu Xiaogang said in a very serious tone.
"As Support Type Soul Master, Oscar plays a very important role. If Control-type Spirit Master is the brain of a Soul Master team, then Food Type support like Oscar is the soul of the team."
Yu Xiaogang also used common workplace rhetoric: flattery first, so as to pave the way for what she would say later.
"Therefore, Xiao Ao's choice of Soul Skill should naturally contribute to the team's benefits. In my opinion, we can continue to focus on Soul Power recovery."
"Grandmaster... but my First Spirit Skill is already the Big Sausage that restores Soul Power..."
Oscar spoke somewhat hesitantly, and it was precisely this personality trait that made him famously good-tempered within the academy, a stark contrast to Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.
"Xiao Ao, as Food Type Soul Master, you should be prepared to do what Food Type Soul Master does. Just leave the rest to your teammates."
Yu Xiaogang's voice became unquestionable; he would not allow Oscar to have any willful thoughts that would ruin the path he had paved for his disciple Tang San.
In fact, Oscar's Third Spirit Skill in the Original Work was also a very good Soul Skill. The Soaring Mushroom Sausage was a very useful Soul Skill before the Seven Monsters became Titled Douluo. However, what the Grandmaster said made him sound a bit arrogant and conceited.
What, are you the Yu Xiaogang one on the entire continent who understands Martial Soul or something? Besides, even if you do understand, it's only a superficial understanding, and that little bit of knowledge is simply not presentable.
Su He frowned, but he disdained to argue with someone like Yu Xiaogang, as that would only make him lose face.
Su He looked at Oscar, and suddenly her mouth moved, but no one present heard any strange sound. Only Oscar looked up sharply in Su He's direction. Seeing the latter nod to him, Oscar also nodded slightly, his expression becoming serious.
The Sound Transmission into Line!
Su He's words were very simple: she just told Oscar to come find her outside the tent at midnight after he finished searching for the Soul Ring on the first day and was resting!
With Su He's Soul Power reserves, she was fully capable of using Sound Transmission into Secrecy like Huyan Zhen. Apart from Flender, who slightly noticed something amiss between the two, everyone else present was completely unaware.
Upon entering the Star Dou Great Forest, this time the group didn't care about formation and simply gathered together. Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Su He were positioned at the left front, right front, and rear of the group, respectively, to maximize the safety of the trainees.
On the first day, the group gained very little. Apart from discovering an Emerald Spirit Vine that had just broken through a thousand years of cultivation, they did not find any Soul Ring suitable for Oscar to absorb.
This is also the current situation for the vast majority of Soul Master when hunting for Soul Ring. Su He's previous search for suitable 100-year and Thousand-Year Soul Ring was the same. Finding a high-quality one was a stroke of good luck, while not finding a suitable one was the norm.
Yu Xiaogang naturally tried his best to persuade Oscar to absorb the Emerald Spirit Vine's Soul Ring. In his opinion, apart from its relatively young age, the Emerald Spirit Vine was very suitable for a Food Type Soul Master.
Regardless of its age, the Emerald Spirit Vine is indeed a high-level Plant-type Spirit Beast. Like the Emerald Swan, which shares two characters in its name, it has weak self-defense capabilities and only knows how to whip itself with Soul Power. Therefore, they only grow on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, Shi Nian generally does not exceed a thousand years. The vine contains powerful restorative energy; it's conceivable that if Oscar were to absorb it, he would gain a powerful restorative Soul Skill.
Oscar, remembering what Su He had told him during the day, resisted the urge to continue wandering in the forest. This wandering took up an entire day.
Su He naturally wouldn't let this Emerald Spirit Vine go to anyone else; she collected it, vine and soil included, within her own Realm of Destruction.
If a plant were normally planted in the Realm of Destruction, it would naturally die within seconds. However, the Realm of Destruction is different now. As the sole ruler of the Realm of Destruction, Su He can control the Destruction power within it down to the finest detail.
Moving out a piece of land free from Destruction power was also an easy task. And after being isolated from the erosion of Destruction power, Su He was surprised to find that the land was incredibly fertile.
Just like a volcanic eruption, the process of eruption is terrible, but the result after the eruption is soil nourished by volcanic ash, which is exceptionally fertile.
The day's Soul Hunting activity came to an end. While resting back at the account book, Su He overheard the Grandmaster cursing Oscar for refusing to absorb the Emerald Spirit Vine.
This time, Tang San, the Soul Hunting, showed absolutely no signs of causing trouble, which is very much in line with his character—a cunning man who is good at forbearance and likes to pretend to be a gentleman.
At midnight, the campfire flickered in the cool night breeze of the forest. Seeing everyone meditating or cultivating, Oscar slowly got up and walked out of the camp. He immediately saw Su He standing by the fire.
The scene of him walking out of the tent was also witnessed by the suspicious Tang San.
"What's he doing going out at this time? Is he perhaps looking for Su He?"
Su He smiled as expected when she saw Oscar walk out.
"You're here, please have a seat."
With a slight gesture, Oscar followed Su He's hand and sat down by the fire.
Do you know why I called you out tonight?
Su He looked at Oscar with a kind expression and asked, a stark contrast to the sharpness she displayed when targeting Yu Xiaogang and the Little Scumbag.
Oscar shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
"You're willing to come out, which means you trust me, right, Oscar?"
Su He asked again, and Oscar nodded in response.
Su He exuded a warm and masculine aura, which showed that he had no ill intentions towards him.
