Seventh Spirit Ring, Astonishing Gains
As Oscar watched the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring slowly take shape, he raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with surprise.
In the original novel, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King that Tang San killed did not have any Soul Ring, and the Blood Bat also did not condense Soul Ring after being killed, because they were a different species, just like the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, which only had inner cores and no Soul Ring.
What Oscar didn't know was that these Blood Bat were also a different species. Although they didn't have an inner core like the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent that could be used as a Soul Ring, they would generate Soul Ring and Spirit Bone after breaking through the 100,000-year limit, making them no different from Soul Beast.
Even if Oscar didn't know these secrets, it didn't diminish his joy and surprise at the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring that had just been formed.
Regardless of any secrets involved, at least for now, he has a genuine Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring in front of him.
As he watched the pass gradually take shape, Oscar pulled out several Super Recovery Great Sausage from his Soul Tool, stuffed them into his mouth, and sat cross-legged to begin recovering his depleted Soul Power and Spiritual Power.
Due to the unique characteristics of time and space, the flow of time inside the Life and Death Arena is different from that outside. No matter how long Oscar stays inside, the time that passes outside will not change.
The only drawback is that there is no Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth to support cultivation here. Otherwise, Oscar could simply bring in anyone each year, kill them, and then cultivate here, since the outside world would remain unchanged no matter how much time passed.
Oscar sat cross-legged and began to recover his Soul Power and Spiritual Power. With the help of several Super Recovery Great Sausage, Oscar's condition had been restored to its peak in half an hour.
Looking at the fully formed blood-red Soul Ring before him, Oscar pondered for a moment before releasing his Sausage Martial Soul from his right hand.
He has now reached the bottleneck of level 70, and this Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring is perfect to be used as his Seventh Spirit Ring.
As for the Soul Ring attachment for his Second Martial Soul, Oscar already has a clear plan. This unexpected Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring can be given to his First Martial Soul.
Without the special suppression of the Slaughter City in this space, when he released his First Martial Soul, six dazzling Soul Ring rose on his body: two yellow, one purple, two black, and one red.
Oscar, sitting cross-legged, began to use his Soul Power to guide the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring. Now, his physical fitness and Spiritual Power level have reached the level of a 92-level Titled Douluo, which is more than enough to absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring.
The process of absorbing the Soul Ring was incredibly smooth. When the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring arrived above Oscar's head, a roaring Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.
At this moment, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King was extremely ferocious. After all, it had just broken through and was killed by Oscar. Even though it was instantly killed, it was not afraid of Oscar at all and launched a terrifying attack.
Unfortunately, Oscar was not afraid at all.
Within the Sea of Consciousness, Oscar's silver ponytail was meticulously combed, and his silver eyes were filled with disdain for the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King.
"You were no match for me when you were alive, and now you dare to try to turn the tables on me in my own territory?" Oscar smiled contemptuously, and an Azure Jade Sword appeared in his hand.
Without any fancy moves, Oscar simply swung his sword lightly, and a terrifying sword aura shot out like a rainbow piercing the sun. With just one sword strike, Oscar annihilated the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, which had reached the Hundred Thousand Year Level, within his Sea of Consciousness.
The reason is simple: the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King has a strong physical body, but its Spiritual Power is far inferior to Oscar's. Moreover, it is in Oscar's home turf, so it naturally cannot make any waves.
Once the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King within the Sea of Consciousness was completely dealt with, Oscar's seventh blood-red Soul Ring began to gradually take shape. Oscar then immersed himself entirely in the power brought by this Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring, meticulously tempering his body and Spiritual Power.
After an unknown amount of time, when Oscar's seven Soul Ring —two yellow, one purple, two black, and two red—quietly floated on his body, the absorption of the Soul Ring was completely complete. However, Oscar did not end his cultivation, because a piece of crystalline bone floated out from the body of the dead Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King.
After the bone appeared, the entire body of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King was transformed into pure energy and injected into it. Oscar remained sitting cross-legged, and the crystalline bone slowly moved to Oscar's head.
That's right, it was the head. Even though Oscar already possessed a Head Soul Bone, this crystalline bone still ended up in Oscar's head.
As everyone knows, Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone is the number one treasure in the Spirit Master World, on par with Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring, because the appearance of Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring is always accompanied by a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
The power of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone lies not only in the fact that it, like Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring, carries the two powerful abilities originally possessed by the Soul Beast, but also in the fact that it can produce a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone according to the needs of Soul Master has killed Soul Beast.
Of course, this is on the premise that the Soul Master absorbs the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone together. In the second case, if they are absorbed separately, the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone will be more likely to be produced from the strongest part of the Soul Beast in its previous life.
The Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone that Oscar absorbed this time was slightly different from that of a normal 100,000-year -Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King. This is because the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King is a variant species and does not produce Soul Ring before 100,000 years ago. Therefore, the production of its Spirit Bone is different from that of a normal Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Oscar originally intended to use this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone to condense a Torso Soul Bone, since Torso Soul Bone offer the greatest improvement for Soul Master. However, when he tried to condense the Spirit Bone, he suddenly discovered that this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone had no restrictions and could even be used in combination with the Spirit Bone he already possessed.
That's why Oscar chose to waste a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone slot to upgrade Head Soul Bone he had already absorbed, which was only 55,000 years old.
Head Soul Bone of 55,000 years is already considered a Top-grade Spirit Bone on the continent, but if there is an opportunity to improve this 50,000-year-old Spirit Bone, it would be an opportunity that is extremely rare and hard to come by.
Although Oscar will lose a Hundred Thousand Year Level Torso Soul Bone as a result, he will gain a Hundred Thousand Year Level Head Soul Bone.
Oscar had originally intended to collect a full set of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, but because Spirit Bone are so rare, he never had the chance to collect them all. The only 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Soul Bone he ever obtained was given to Dugu Yan.
Therefore, now that there is an opportunity to extend the age of the Head Soul Bone to the Hundred Thousand Year Level, this is undoubtedly the best choice.
Of course, Oscar himself does not lack high-quality Spirit Bone. After all, he still has two Spirit Bones of 50,000 years or more that he has not yet absorbed. It is not that Oscar looks down on them, but that he wants to try to see if he has a chance to collect a fully equipped Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
It might have been unlikely before, because he only had one Martial Soul, but now it's different. He has two Martial Soul, and the Second Martial Soul hasn't been equipped with Soul Ring yet.
Oscar's plan is to add as many Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring as possible to his Second Martial Soul. Even if not all of them are Hundred Thousand Year Level, at least a few Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast are already on Oscar's list.
With this plan in mind, Oscar did not immediately absorb the two high-quality Spirit Bone he had left, and decided to fuse the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and Head Soul Bone of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King.
The crystalline bone was drawn to Oscar's forehead, and as he began to absorb and fuse with Spirit Bone, his original Spirit Gathering Wisdom Skull also began to react.
The two Spirit Bones did not collide or conflict at all, because the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King's Spirit Bone did not have specific attributes, but rather would mainly produce certain attributes depending on which part it needed to absorb.
The reason why this Spirit Bone is like this is also related to its ability to remember after reaching the Hundred Thousand Year Level. Originally, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King was not good at Spiritual Power, but the Spirit Bone can condense all its power into the Head Soul Bone and then use it to build up Spiritual Power.
This is perhaps the most satisfying of Oscar's unexpected gains, after all, even he never thought he would have such an opportunity.
The Spirit Bone fusion process went very smoothly. Soon, Oscar's original Spirit Gathering Wisdom Skull fused with the Spirit Bone of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, and the original 55,000-year level directly reached a terrifying 155,000-year level.
This Spirit Bone is now considered to be of the highest quality in the entire Douluo Continent, since no Soul Master has ever hunted Ferocious Beast that is more than 200,000 years old.
The fusion of the Spirit Bone greatly enhanced Oscar's Spiritual Power and physical attributes. Coupled with the power of the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring, Oscar's physical attributes and Spiritual Power directly surged from level 92 to level 94.
Don't underestimate this seemingly small two-level improvement. The difference between Titled Douluo is enormous, and a two-level improvement is enough to double Oscar's strength.
However, the fusion of Spirit Bone also has a drawback: Oscar only obtained one Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone skill. Due to the fusion, the two skills of his current super Head Soul Bone are respectively from the previous Spirit Gathering Wisdom Skull skill and the fused Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King skill.
Originally, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone only had one of its two skills left. However, the advantage was that the power of the Destructive Divine Light was increased. Although it lost one Spirit Bone Skill, the age of the Head Soul Bone reached the level of 155,000 years.
Overall, Oscar still came out ahead, since the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and Soul Ring were unexpected surprises for him.
Of course, in addition to the upgrade of his Spirit Bone, his Seventh Spirit Ability is also very powerful.
Because of the special nature of his Sausage Martial Soul, his Seventh Spirit Ability is not a conventional Martial Soul Avatar. Therefore, his Seventh Spirit Ability still inherits the characteristics of Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring, which is to have two powerful Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill.
Although he lost the huge boost from the regular Martial Soul Avatar, Oscar still came out ahead, since he couldn't imagine what Sausage's Martial Soul Avatar would look like.
Now that he has acquired two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skills, Oscar has definitely made a good deal.
Moreover, he now has Second Martial Soul, and he will still have Martial Soul Avatar in the future, so there is nothing to regret.
He opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his dark pupils, and a bright smile appeared on his sinister face. Not only had he obtained a Seventh Spirit Ring of the Hundred Thousand Year Level, but his Soul Power had also increased directly from level 70 to a terrifying level 75, saving him countless hours of arduous cultivation.
Oscar couldn't help but clench his large tiger claws, and a terrifying power resounded between the joints like a thunderclap.
With physical attributes and Spiritual Power comparable to a level 94 Titled Douluo, coupled with his terrifying Soul Power foundation that has now reached at least the level of a high-level Soul Douluo, he can now truly be considered to have the strength to compete with ordinary Titled Douluo.
If Oscar were to face the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King again, which had become his Soul Ring and Spirit Bone, he might not need to use the Life and Death Arena to defeat it with his true absolute strength.
Of course, there is another prerequisite: he has the opportunity to store the two powerful 100,000-year Seventh Spirit Ability he just acquired in advance.
After experiencing the surge in power, Oscar didn't rush out. Instead, he used his Seventh Spirit Ability. He could use Soul Skill here, but his Soul Ring would be restricted again after returning to the Slaughter City.
So now that we've entered the Life and Death Arena, why not prepare ourselves before leaving? What if there are other unexpected surprises besides this Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King? Oscar silently chanted Spirit Incantation as his blood-red Seventh Spirit Ring shone.
As the Spirit Incantation was uttered, Oscar's Soul Power began to surge. Then, his Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring burst forth with a crimson light. In just a few breaths, a blood-red Sausage shaped like a bat appeared in his hand.
Oscar used his Seventh Spirit Ability four times in a row, and four Sausage appeared in his hand. However, his Soul Power was exhausted as a result. Although the Super Recovery Great Sausage was still working, it no longer supported him to use Soul Skill.
Oscar took out a few more Super Recovery Great Sausage and ate them to speed up the recovery of his Soul Power.
The four Sausage with Seventh Spirit Ability are stored in two for each of the two Soul Skills, which is enough for the current situation.
Most importantly, he didn't have many of his Super Recovery Great Sausage left, so Oscar stopped making Sausage.
Oscar left the Life and Death Arena only after his Soul Power had recovered to its peak.
With a thought, Oscar only felt his vision suddenly darken for a moment, and when he reappeared, he was back at the position where he had just been absorbed by the black hole.
Dugu Yan only felt Oscar being sucked into the black hole for a moment, and the next moment Oscar reappeared. Dugu Yan's white wings fluttered, and she excitedly rushed into Oscar's arms.
Seeing Oscar's restored peak condition, Dugu Yan knew that Oscar was not injured, because Oscar had told her about the power of the Life and Death Arena.
Oscar held Dugu Yan in his arms, the six gray-black lines on his cheeks shimmering, and a sinister smile appeared on his face, "I'm fine, and I even had a special gain, which I'll tell you about later."
"Take this first." Oscar affectionately patted Dugu Yan's head, which was topped with a pair of crystal-clear Dragon Horns, and took out two blood-red Sausage that looked like small bats from his Soul Tool and handed them over.
Upon seeing these two Sausage she had never seen before, Dugu Yan instantly understood many things. She didn't ask any questions, but simply smiled and took them, placing them into her Soul Tool.
P. S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
