Iron Rooster Plucked

Bu Le wore a pained expression. Looking at the Jade Sword pressed against his neck, he completely disregarded the shame of having his clothes burned away and dropped straight to his knees.

"Young master! Killing people in Suotuo City is against the law! You need to calm down!" Bu Le shouted at the top of his lungs, as if afraid no one would hear him.

He usually threw his weight around in these slums by relying on his identity as a Spirit Master. Now that he had fallen, the others were too busy gloating to help him.

Oscar's expression did not change much as he watched Bu Le act so shamelessly.

To be honest, despite having lived two lives, he had never killed anyone. He had killed spirit beasts, but in his eyes, spirit beasts were like the animals from his previous life. It was like slaughtering pigs, so he felt no psychological pressure.

Although Bu Le was no good person, Oscar still could not quite bring himself to kill him.

After all, while Bu Le had beaten Ma Hongjun up, he had not done anything too outrageous.

Still, although Oscar had never intended to kill him, there was no way he would simply let him go.

Ignoring Bu Le's wailing, Oscar said flatly, "Keep screaming, and I'll cut out your tongue!"

Hearing those icy words, Bu Le instantly shut up and looked at Oscar pleadingly.

"I can spare you. Hand over your Soul Tool, then close your eyes."

Although reluctant, Bu Le still did as he was told. He was genuinely afraid that Oscar would finish him off with one stroke of his sword.

Bu Le's Soul Tool was a bracelet. After taking it and examining it, Oscar's face turned green.

The Soul Tool had three cubic meters of storage space, yet two cubic meters of it were filled with underwear! Red, yellow, purple, blue, green... all of it was women's intimate clothing.

If the Soul Tool had not sealed off the smell, Oscar could already imagine what those undergarments would be like...

Oscar pocketed the Soul Tool, then leaned close to Bu Le's ear. His voice turned even colder. "From now on, I hope you never appear in Suotuo City again. And don't rely on your identity as a Spirit Master to commit evil deeds and bully decent women... otherwise!"

Bu Le nodded so hard his head bobbed like a pestle, then wisely shouted, "You are absolutely right, young master! I was blind and failed to recognize greatness before, offending you, young master. Please be magnanimous and forgive me! From now on, I'll turn over a new leaf..."

Watching Bu Le like this, Ma Hongjun suddenly felt that yesterday's beating was nothing. He even felt a little pleased inside!

However, the more disgracefully Bu Le behaved, the more Oscar knew that someone like him could not change.

After some thought, Oscar moved around to stand in front of Bu Le. Bu Le still had his eyes closed and had no idea Oscar had changed positions.

Ma Hongjun looked at Oscar, a trace of confusion appearing on his face. Then, after seeing what Oscar did, he froze completely.

Oscar slowly raised his right foot, then delivered a powerful kick straight into Bu Le's crotch! A pig-slaughtering scream immediately rang through the sky, even louder than Ma Hongjun's phoenix cry from before! "Aah! My... my..."

Bu Le howled twice, then passed out from the pain. He lay there, with only his lower body twitching from time to time.

Only then did Ma Hongjun hear Oscar continue, "Forget it. Someone like you can't change, so I'll solve the problem once and for all."

Oscar then withdrew the Azure Spirit Jade Sword and said to Ma Hongjun, "Let's go."

Ma Hongjun stared blankly at Oscar, then at the unconscious Bu Le on the ground. He felt a chill in his own groin before quickly scurrying after Oscar.

Hidden in the shadows, Zhao Wuji revealed an approving expression.

Killing someone openly in the city would indeed have been troublesome. Oscar's method not only avoided that trouble, but also deprived Bu Le of the means to commit evil. It was the best of both worlds! This was how Shrek should be—hating evil, daring to fight, and daring to struggle!

Although Zhao Wuji was still surprised that Oscar had truly defeated Level 36 Bu Le with only Level 22 strength, it also proved one thing: Oscar's combat ability was formidable, and so was his strength!

He had already completely surpassed Assault System Spirit Masters of the same level.

Although Bu Le's strength was probably at the very bottom among Soul Elders, he was still a genuine Soul Elder!

As for Oscar, he had indeed gained a great deal from this battle, though Bu Le really had been somewhat weak.

A Soul Elder with the optimal soul ring configuration of Two Yellow One Purple could perhaps defeat Bu Le at Level 31, because he truly was rather pathetic.

But this also indirectly proved that Oscar now possessed the strength to contend with Soul Elders. Although his Soul Power was only Level 22, his Physical Fitness had already reached the level of a High-level Spirit Master.

With the Azure Spirit Jade Sword boosted by the two soul skills of condensation and cutting, combined with his own Physical Fitness, the strength he could unleash far surpassed that of Weapon Spirit Masters at the same level! After leaving the market, Oscar and Ma Hongjun met up with Zhao Wuji. This time, Zhao Wuji had not even shown himself, because Oscar alone had completely handled Bu Le.

On the way, Ma Hongjun looked at Oscar with a face full of admiration. "Brother Ao, you were so cool today. I want to be like you in the future too!"

Oscar smiled at that. "It's nothing. As long as you work hard enough, you'll definitely become even stronger than me in the future."

After a pause, Oscar patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder. "After all, my spirit is only Food System. I can still fight now by relying on my External Soul Bone, but later on, this advantage of mine will only grow smaller and smaller."

Hearing Oscar's words, Zhao Wuji laughed heartily. "Xiao Ao, there's no need to belittle yourself. As a Food System Soul Master, defeating a Level 36 Soul Elder across ranks—you've already made history for Shrek Academy! No, perhaps for Spirit Masters across the entire continent!"

Although Ma Hongjun had contributed as well, objectively speaking, his role in this battle had not been particularly significant. It had mainly depended on Oscar's raw strength!

Ma Hongjun nodded in firm agreement. "And Brother Ao, those two moves just now were seriously cool. Your External Soul Bone can practically be used as a spirit!"

Listening to Zhao Wuji and Ma Hongjun's praise, Oscar felt a trace of comfort in his heart.

To be honest, although he possessed the talent of Innate Full Soul Power, as a Food System Soul Master, he would definitely be classified as Support System according to Spirit Master roles.

But after coming to this world nearly three years ago, Oscar had experienced some things and seen much through books. He would never limit himself to that alone.

His victory over Level 36 Bu Le while possessing only Level 22 Soul Power was merely the beginning.

In the future, Oscar would work even harder. He wanted to truly live a real life in this world.

Just as the three of them reached the city and planned to have lunch before returning, Flender emerged from somewhere.

Oscar, Zhao Wuji, and Ma Hongjun were all stunned when they saw Flender.

Seeing their expressions, Flender smiled and adjusted the black-framed glasses on his nose. "What? As the dean of Shrek Academy, shouldn't I personally witness such a historic moment for Xiao Ao?"

Hearing that, Oscar and Zhao Wuji immediately understood. That old man had probably been following them from high in the sky the whole time! With the strength of a Soul Saint and his exceptional cat owl, it would have been far too easy for him to avoid their notice.

Flender waved a hand grandly. "Today is a celebration for Xiao Ao and Hongjun. My treat—Ju Xian Lou!"

Zhao Wuji was the one who found this hardest to believe. He had known Flender for more than a decade. Since when had this Iron Rooster been willing to spend so much money treating them to a meal? Oscar, meanwhile, thought more deeply. The fact that Flender had secretly followed them was enough to show how much importance he placed on Ma Hongjun and him.

When he had read the original story before, Oscar had always felt that teachers like Flender did not seem all that concerned about Shrek's students. But after truly living with them, Oscar could still feel the old men's concern through these small details.
