Oscar's Scheme, the Origin of the Breath Concealing Grass

The reason Oscar didn't lay a hand on Xiao Wu but instead spoke to her was because he had figured out some things and had a new plan during this time.

The simplest point is that Soul Beast and humans are now at odds, but Oscar knows that in ten thousand years the Soul Beast Race will become increasingly scarce, because Soul Master must hunt Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring if they want to advance their strength.

Now, Oscar is no longer content with a carefree life; he has bigger ambitions and more worthwhile goals to strive for, so... he plans to use Xiao Wu to do something.

Although it also involved using Xiao Wu's identity, it also protected her. At least... Oscar will do his best to prevent what happened in the original story from happening, because Xiao Wu will become an important part of his plan.

Oscar hesitated for a long time before deciding to give Xiao Wu on Gai Yue's Ninth Spirit Ring, because he wanted his teacher to have more opportunities for improvement.

Although Xiao Wu can provide Gai Yue with a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, which are of sufficient quality, it is not impossible for Gai Yue and Dugu Bo Gai Yue hunt and find a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that is more suitable for his Ninth Spirit Ring, given their current strength.

It just takes more time, but in terms of the final benefits, it's totally worth it.

That's why Oscar had this conversation with Xiao Wu.

Of course, it's not just because of Xiao Wu, but also because of Tang San. Tang San's feelings for Xiao Wu are self-evident. Little San's the kind of person who would risk his life for Xiao Wu if she were injured. If Oscar can indirectly control Xiao Wu's weaknesses, then Oscar will have more room to maneuver with Tang San.

Take this time for example. Although Tang San went to see Yu Xiaogang, and even Oscar made things very clear, Little San still had a six-year master-disciple relationship with Yu Xiaogang. He might break with Yu Xiaogang, but Tang San might also leave Shrek Academy because of this.

If Xiao Wu chooses to stay at the Shrek Academy at this point and speaks up for Oscar, then Tang San will most likely side with Oscar.

Although Oscar doesn't dislike or like Tang San, keeping the Child of Destiny from the original story by his side would reduce some of the burdens Oscar would have in the future.

After all, although Tang San no longer has the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, who knows what other advantages he might have? Given Oscar's current goals, letting Tang San leave his sight so early might become an obstacle for him in the future.

Therefore, only by keeping him by his side can Oscar have more room to make use of him. After all, Oscar is not a saint. Keeping Tang San by his side is also to make better use of all his resources.

Otherwise, why would the Oscar waste their time doing something meaningless?

Looking at Xiao Wu's teary eyes, Oscar said in an extremely calm tone, "I don't need you to give me anything in return, and I certainly won't use your status to threaten you into doing anything."

"But you need to understand that there is no one in this world who is truly a good person, not even me. The reason I don't have any other thoughts about you is because you haven't done anything out of line."

"If I find out in the future that you have done something that is against humanity, I will personally kill you."

Do you understand?

Hearing these words, even though Oscar's tone remained unchanged, Xiao Wu understood that Oscar was simply admonishing her that since she had become human, she should think about humanity.

Xiao Wu nodded very solemnly. "I understand, Senior Student. Xiao Wu will definitely remember your teachings today."

Oscar nodded. "Good that you understand."

Then Xiao Wu asked somewhat cautiously, "Senior Student, besides you, who else knows my identity?"

Oscar glanced at Xiao Wu: "Who else do you want to know?"

Hearing this, Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Oscar with a hint of pleading, "Senior Student, can I ask you for a favor? I promise, this matter will not cause you any trouble."

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Oscar's face, "Don't tell Tang San your identity?"

Xiao Wu saw that Oscar had already guessed her meaning. She immediately nodded rapidly, as if pounding garlic. "Yes, Senior Student, Little San is just like a normal human; his attitude towards Soul Beast is somewhat... so I'm afraid that now that he knows my identity, he might treat me..."

As Xiao Wu was speaking, Oscar interrupted her, "Don't worry, he probably doesn't know your identity yet, and I wouldn't be so bored. After all, I've already decided to protect you, so naturally I'll try my best to avoid causing any trouble because of your identity."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu was overjoyed and felt a warmth in her heart, because Oscar had said, "I've decided to protect her..."

She didn't know why Oscar thought that way, let alone why he said that, but the calmness in Oscar's eyes was undeniable.

So when Oscar said that, Xiao Wu bowed to Oscar again and said, "Thank you."

Oscar said, "Do you want to know how I figured out your identity?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu suddenly looked up. Although she didn't speak, the thirst for knowledge in her eyes reached its peak.

Oscar said, "Actually, normally, to see through your identity, one would need at least the strength of a Contra Soul Douluo, but I am different because my Spiritual Power is extraordinary."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu was quite shocked, but if the person in question was Oscar, then it would be easy to understand.

In Xiao Wu's eyes now, Oscar is simply a true genius, far beyond what any Grandmaster can compare to.

Xiao Wu even felt that it would be better for her third brother to cultivate under Oscar than to have him become a disciple of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang! After all, Yu Xiaogang had taught Tang San for six years and would occasionally take her along, but she felt that Yu Xiaogang's teaching of Tang San for so long was not as good as Oscar's teaching for a month! However, Xiao Wu was not thinking about these things at the moment, because Oscar's next words surprised her even more.

"What truly exposed your second secret was the sachet you were carrying. Although I had some guesses about its origin, the most important thing was what was inside it," Oscar said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu was surprised and took off the sachet from her waist, opened it, and looked inside at a green plant.

Xiao Wu knew this grass was special because it only needed watering every day to prevent it from withering. But Xiao Wu never expected that her exposure would be related to this grass. Oscar continued, "This grass is called the Breath Concealing Grass. Its function is to help you conceal the aura of Soul Beast. With it, even Titled Douluo cannot see through your identity. However, the special thing is that you must always wear it with you, otherwise it will not be effective."

"When you were training in the mud pit, you took off this sachet containing the Breath Concealing Grass. That's how I discovered your true identity. So, no matter what happens in the future, you must never let this sachet leave your side."

"Of course, you don't need to worry about it getting dirty, because the Breath Concealing Grass itself has the effect of purifying filth and will not be contaminated by ordinary soil."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu learned about the function of the Breath Concealing Grass and how to use it to protect her identity. However, what satisfied and convinced her the most was that the Breath Concealing Grass was a gift from Tang San.

However, judging from Tang San's behavior, the other party really didn't know his true identity, but why would he give him this?

Oscar explained, "The one who truly gave you the Breath Concealing Grass wasn't Tang San, but his father. And I happen to know some of his father's secrets, but I won't tell you now, because it involves a lot of things."

"In short, you must remember one thing: always keep your sachet with you in the future, and it's best not to stray too far from me, otherwise I won't be able to guarantee your safety."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu was deeply moved. However, because of Oscar's warning, even though she really wanted to ask about Tang San's Tang San and why he gave her the Breath Concealing Grass, she couldn't bring herself to ask.

She didn't want to put Oscar in a difficult position, after all, he had just given her the greatest help he could.
