First Spirit Ring, Sausage Auction

Oscar's first Spirit Ability was still positioned as a recovery-type ability. In the original story, the First Spirit Ability had already been quite effective: after consuming a sausage, one could restore stamina, Soul Power, and recover from injuries over a period of time.

This was already incredibly powerful. Its recovery effects might not match those of a dedicated Support System Soul Master, but overall, it was no worse. Moreover, it provided all-around recovery, making it an exceptionally powerful First Spirit Ability.

What was more, as Oscar's strength increased, this ability's recovery effects would also improve. In a sense, it was an ability that could grow stronger over time.

After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Oscar voiced his idea. Zhao Wuji agreed that it made sense, since the teachers had discussed Oscar's choice of Spirit Ability before they came.

With their objective decided, Zhao Wuji led Oscar toward an area where recovery-type spirit beasts were likely to appear. Zhao Wuji was quite familiar with the Star Dou Great Forest, as he had come here every time he acquired Spirit Rings.

It had to be said that Oscar's luck was truly excellent. Zhao Wuji spotted a four-hundred-and-thirty-year-old Blood Demon Silkworm on a two-hundred-year-old Emerald Green Shirt Tree.

This spirit beast was exceptionally compatible with Oscar, and its age was just right. Zhao Wuji immediately took down the Blood Demon Silkworm and tossed it before Oscar.

Though this Blood Demon Silkworm was four hundred and thirty years old, it was less than thirty centimeters long. It could be considered a very small spirit beast.

Looking at the Blood Demon Silkworm before him, Oscar took a dagger from his robes. Without the slightest hesitation, he ended its life. This was the law of the jungle; Oscar had no choice.

As a yellow Spirit Ring lit up, Oscar could not help growing excited once more. He was about to become a Soul Master. It was a power he had never experienced before.

Sitting cross-legged, with Zhao Wuji guiding him at his side, Oscar's absorption of the Spirit Ring went incomparably smoothly. Three hours later, a bright yellow Spirit Ring floated around his body.

Oscar let out a long breath and stood up. Clenching his fist, which brimmed with strength, he sighed inwardly, So this is what it feels like to be a Soul Master.

"Whew..." Oscar did not restrain his Soul Power. The fluctuations of his Level 12 Soul Power spread toward Zhao Wuji, who looked at him in delighted surprise.

"Xiao Ao, your Soul Power has actually reached Level 12 already. As expected of a genius with Innate Full Soul Power!" Zhao Wuji praised.

"Thanks to Teacher Zhao for finding such a suitable Spirit Ring for me. My Spirit Ability is also very powerful," Oscar replied with a smile.

In truth, if Oscar had not transmigrated only when he Awakened his Spirit, leaving him no time to train his Physique, the age of his First Spirit Ring might have been even higher.

Even so, Oscar was very satisfied. After all, he had little experience with absorbing a Spirit Ring for the first time, so there was no need to take risks.

As for absorbing Spirit Rings beyond his level, as long as he worked hard at cultivation in the future, it should not be much of a problem.

"Xiao Ao, tell me about your Spirit Ability," Zhao Wuji said with a nod.

"First Spirit Ability: Super Recovery Great Sausage!" Oscar directly activated his Soul Power. The yellow Spirit Ring flashed, and a sausage appeared in his hand.

"Teacher Zhao, my First Spirit Ability is called Super Recovery Great Sausage. Its effect is that, for a period after eating it, one's Soul Power, stamina, Spiritual Power, and injuries will continuously recover." Oscar handed the sausage to Zhao Wuji and explained, "This Blood Demon Silkworm had an exceptionally strong innate talent, so this Spirit Ability of mine is also very powerful."

Zhao Wuji ate Oscar's Super Recovery Great Sausage and carefully felt its effects. A delighted smile soon appeared on his face as he said excitedly, "Xiao Ao, you are a true genius!"

"However, with my current Soul Power, I can only make about ten at most," Oscar added.

"Ten?" Zhao Wuji was astonished.

"And you think that is too few? A full ten Super Recovery Great Sausages—if used by a team, they would be life-saving charms." Zhao Wuji spoke irritably.

Having obtained the Spirit Ring he wanted, Oscar happily followed Zhao Wuji back. A week later, the two returned to the academy.

However, Oscar was somewhat surprised to find that his Spirit Incantation was no longer as lewd as it had been in the original story. That was certainly something worth celebrating, since Oscar was someone who cared about his image.

After returning to the academy, Oscar began his devilish training. During the week after his return, he tried Meditation Cultivation and compared his progress with Zhao Wuji's from the same period. He discovered that at the same level, Food System Soul Masters had a much harder time cultivating than other Soul Masters.

In terms of cultivation speed, Oscar lagged behind by one-third. Yet that one-third meant he had to put in far more effort.

After returning to the academy, Oscar first sought out Teacher Shao Xin for a serious discussion. After all, Shao Xin was a Food System Soul Master and one of the best among them.

Shao Xin was forty years old this year, and his Soul Power had already reached Level 67. Such an achievement was beyond the reach of many people, let alone for a Food System Soul Master.

Shao Xin also had many insights into cultivating a Food System Martial Soul, which benefited Oscar greatly. After all, much of another person's experience was worth learning from.

As a teacher, Shao Xin did not hold back in the slightest. He explained the characteristics and cultivation methods of Food System Soul Masters to Oscar, answering every question without reservation.

However, Oscar was not planning to cultivate himself purely as a Food System Soul Master. He knew in his heart that if he wanted to make a name for himself, merely supporting others would not be enough.

From then on, he attended theory classes in the morning. Though he was familiar with the original story, he had never systematically studied this world's knowledge, and now was the time to make up for it.

In the afternoons, Oscar trained on his own. Since Li Yusong was the only Soul Master at the academy with an offensive Weapon Spirit, Oscar also got himself an Iron Club and trained in staff techniques under Li Yusong.

His usual focus was on training his Physique and cultivating Soul Power, with staff techniques coming second. However, Oscar did not have a Soul Tool, so he had no way to conveniently store or retrieve items.

Now that Oscar was a Soul Master, he had originally intended to register as one. After all, that meant one Gold Soul Coin every month. But Flender would not allow it.

A Support System Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power was far too remarkable. Flender had his own selfish motives, so he did not let Oscar register, at least not until he was ten years old.

Oscar did not mind. In a way, it was protection for him. If Spirit Hall took him away now, who knew what might happen in the future?

It was not that he insisted on staying behind to curry favor with Tang San. Rather, aside from his advantage of knowing what was to come, he had no power or faction backing him.

Therefore, to ensure that the future situation and plot were not affected, Oscar intended to follow the original story's development for now and take things one step at a time.

If he was fortunate enough to encounter some opportunity in the future, he could make plans then. Even if he simply followed the original course of events, he would still be guaranteed a God Position in the future.

Although he did not have the income from registering as a Soul Master, Oscar came up with a way to make money himself: selling his sausages. Not ordinary sausages like in the original story, however.

He would auction them at the Auction House. His First Spirit Ability, Super Recovery Great Sausage, could currently be stored for seven days. That was already a relatively long time compared to other Food System Soul Masters, and its effects were better than most potions, so many low-level Soul Masters had a great need for it.

Furthermore, that storage time was only temporary. As Oscar's strength increased in the future, his sausages would last even longer.

Thus, Oscar made ten sausages every day and had Flender take them to Auction. However, Oscar's sausages only benefited a niche group, and they were of little use to high-level Soul Masters.

Even so, Oscar's sausages brought him a considerable income every month.

Although the ten sausages brought him Gold Soul Coin income, Flender, that profiteer, did not cheat Oscar but still charged him ten Gold Soul Coins every month as travel expenses. Oscar had no objections, except that his future tuition would be deducted from that money, so he would not pay it separately.

Still, Flender advised Oscar not to auction his sausages too freely. After all, they were a Soul Master's trump card. If everyone knew about them, they would no longer be trump cards.

Oscar did not care. They were only recovery sausages, after all. It did not matter if people knew about them. So long as they were not particularly powerful Spirit Abilities, Oscar intended to make a living auctioning sausages in the future.

After all, that would not expose him. Martial Souls came in every imaginable variety, and no one would suspect that sausages with such powerful effects came from a six-year-old child.

Unless Oscar foolishly exposed himself, of course. But Oscar was not stupid. Flender handled every sausage auction, while Oscar remained behind the scenes.

It had to be said that with Oscar's current Soul Power Level, producing ten Super Recovery Great Sausages every day for Auction meant three hundred sausages a month. With such a terrifying quantity piling up, Oscar gradually became wealthy.

Shao Xin was also inspired by Oscar and began auctioning the Candy Beans produced by his support-type and recovery-type Spirit Abilities. Shao Xin was a high-level Soul Emperor, after all. These Spirit Abilities of his were immensely useful even to powerful Soul Emperors, and even those with the shortest storage duration could last over a month. Candy Beans from Ten Thousand Year Level Spirit Abilities could be preserved for a full three months.

With this income, Shrek Academy, which had originally been struggling to make ends meet, suddenly gained a huge source of revenue. Flender was ecstatic.

This left Oscar somewhat tongue-tied. Making money should have been especially easy for Soul Masters, yet he could not understand why Shrek Academy had been so poor in the original story.

Perhaps Shao Xin had never thought of auctioning his Candy Beans? But Oscar no longer cared about that. He was Oscar now, so naturally he could not be like Oscar in the original story, wasting his days in mediocrity. He would do everything possible to increase his strength, then enjoy life properly.

There was also no need to worry about Shao Xin's Spirit Abilities being exposed. The Candy Beans Shao Xin auctioned were all common recovery and healing types. It did not matter even if outsiders found out.

He had not used his powerful Spirit Abilities at all.

However, Suotuo City's Auction House had suddenly acquired an auction item that was useful even to Soul Emperor-level powerhouses, naturally causing an enormous uproar. If Candy Beans could benefit even Soul Emperor-level powerhouses, then their producer had to be at least a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse.

Fortunately, Shao Xin had no enemies, so no one had their eye on him.

In short, ever since Oscar got things off to a good start, Shrek Academy had begun to prosper as well.
