Another Soul Bone Drops!
Although this 40,000-year-old Ice Bear was severely injured, its Wisdom remained unaffected. Every time it escaped a certain distance, it would use the power of ice and snow to cover up the traces and bloodstains on the ground.
Although it only had a few minutes to escape, it was enough for it to disappear into the vast snowfield. Unfortunately, it was not Hao Te and his group that chased it, but Oscar could now achieve unparalleled speed with his Third Spirit Ability.
Oscar dashed away hundreds of meters in an instant, like a streak of light, and he had been on the right track ever since Oscar started chasing the Ice Bear.
In just one minute, the enormous body of the Ice Bear, which was over eight meters tall, came into his view.
The fleeing Ice Bear noticed Oscar rapidly approaching, and the entire bear was somewhat incredulous.
It has done its best to cover its tracks. Even if it can't hold off this human Soul Saint, it shouldn't be able to catch up so quickly, right?
Little did it know that from the moment it fled, Oscar's terrifying Spiritual Power had already locked onto it.
Oscar's clone was originally the full strength of his original body. Although he lost the original 150,000-year-old Head Soul Bone due to the Copy Sausage, his Spiritual Power and physical qualities were not affected.
Moreover, Gu Rong already possesses a full set of six Spirit Bones. The combination of Oscar's body with Gu Rong's Martial Soul and Spirit Bone is a result that is greater than the sum of its parts.
So from beginning to end, the Ice Bear never escaped Oscar's grasp.
Watching the Ice Bear still desperately fleeing, Oscar's lips curled into a mocking smile. The next moment, his sixth Black Spirit Ring lit up as he continued to fly at high speed.
As the Sixth Spirit Ring was released, a huge, deep black hole quietly appeared in front of Oscar as he sped forward, and Oscar plunged headfirst into it.
This is Gu Rong's Sixth Spirit Ability, and it is also the most bizarre of all his Soul Skill — the Gate of Space! This Sixth Spirit Ability comes from a Void Demon Dragon. Soul Skill effect is that within the range of Spiritual Power, one can freely open Gate of Space that crosses space anywhere.
It is precisely because this Soul Skill is so difficult to defend against that Gu Rong has the title of the most bizarre Titled Douluo.
In fact, with Oscar's current Spiritual Power, which is comparable to that of Titled Douluo, he can directly teleport within a radius of nearly 10,000 meters using Gate of Space.
However, he did not want to expose himself too much in front of Hao Te and the others, so he chose to use this Soul Skill after getting out of their sight.
Oscar entered the black hole, and the next moment, ten meters in the direction the Ice Bear was moving, another black hole quietly appeared. The next second, Oscar flew out of it.
The scene was so sudden and bizarre that the Ice Bear had no time to react. All that could be seen was a pure white light spreading across Oscar's right arm as he burst out of the black hole.
Oscar burst out of the black hole and arrived in front of the Ice Bear in an instant. The moment he swung his right fist, countless huge Bone Spike, each over five meters long, suddenly appeared and pierced the Ice Bear's massive body.
"Thorn Armored Dragon Right Arm Spirit Bone Skill: Bone Explosion Meteor!"
At such close range, the Ice Bear had no time to dodge and could only desperately mobilize its remaining Soul Power to defend itself as much as possible.
Unfortunately, this time it encountered Oscar, whose Soul Power had reached level 75 and whose true strength far surpassed that of Soul Saint.
Moreover, Gu Rong's Spirit Bone Skill are at least ten thousand years old, which means that Oscar's attack was a full-force attack of a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ability. Coupled with the strangeness of the Sixth Spirit Ability, this sudden attack was simply impossible for Ice Bear to defend against.
"Terrible! Terrible!! Terrible!!!"
Countless sharp, enormous Bone Spike attacked. Even though the Ice Bear was trying its best to defend itself, its thighs, paws, and even its abdomen were still pierced by the Bone Spike. The entire huge bear body was tragically pinned to the ground, with no power to resist anymore.
The Ice Bear, now severely injured once again, was on its last legs and had no chance of escaping. Oscar calmly looked at the Ice Bear, thinking that with such a perfectly matched Seventh Spirit Ring, Hao Te's strength should see a significant improvement.
Oscar showed no mercy to the Ice Bear, immediately breaking its limbs and grabbing one of its paws, dragging it towards the place where Hao Te and the others had just attacked the Ice Bear.
The Ice Bear endured endless pain, its pupils fixed on Oscar's back, but it could only let out a weak and shrill scream.
Its blood formed a clear path on the road, and its life force grew weaker and weaker, but Oscar soon returned to the position of Hao Te and the others.
At this moment, Hao Te's teammates had just begun Meditation Cultivation to recover their Soul Power. Although he himself had also consumed a lot of energy, he needed to protect his teammates. He had only just looked around when he saw Oscar dragging the Ice Bear back.
He had assumed Oscar would likely catch up with the Ice Bear, or even help him capture the severely injured Ice Bear, but he never imagined Oscar would return so soon.
How long has it been? Less than ten minutes, right? And judging from how Oscar dragged the Ice Bear back, he probably spent most of those ten minutes walking back. Is this the strength of this prodigy? Oscar looks like he's not even thirty years old, yet he already possesses the strength of Soul Saint. He had even suspected that Oscar was just young in appearance.
But now Oscar's strength is beyond doubt. Although Ice Bear was seriously injured, if any other member of their team had chased after him, they would not have been able to kill Ice Bear, let alone bring him to the brink of death in such a short time.
Oscar tossed the dying, writhing Ice Bear aside and said to Hao Te, "It's yours now."
Hao Te immediately went to Oscar and bowed deeply, saying, "Hao Te will never forget your kindness, senior. Please feel free to ask me for anything in the future. As long as it's not sending me to my death, Hao Te will do my best!"
Oscar patted Hao Te on the shoulder, handed him a Super Recovery Great Sausage, and said, "Recover your Soul Power first. I'll protect you."
Without hesitation, Hao Te took the Sausage and ate it. He hadn't expected Oscar to tamper with the Sausage; after all, if the other party really wanted to kill him, this would be pointless.
After eating the Sausage, Hao Te's expression instantly turned to one of utter astonishment, for the Sausage's effects were terrifying. He immediately sat cross-legged and began to recover with all his might.
Just fifteen minutes later, Hao Te, who had been greatly depleted, completely recovered his depleted Soul Power, and even his mental state returned to full strength.
He bowed to Oscar again, saying, "I truly have no way to repay your kindness, senior. This Sausage is so effective, it must be quite valuable, right?"
Oscar waved his hand. "The Sausage is certainly valuable, but if you miss out on this Ice Bear because you are slow to recover your Soul Power, that would be the real loss."
Hao Te was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then turned to look at the Ice Bear and found that the Ice Bear was almost not breathing. It turned out that due to severe injuries and excessive blood loss, the Ice Bear was about to die.
Hao Te dared not waste any more words. He went straight to the Ice Bear's body, his Martial Soul Possession manifesting as a giant Ice Bear. He slammed his paw down on the Ice Bear's head, ending its life.
When Hao Te killed the Ice Bear, he was surprised to see a hint of relief in the Ice Bear's eyes, as if killing it was helping it transcend.
Looking at the Ice Bear's limbs, which were almost shattered into pieces, and the several horrifying bloody holes on its body, Hao Te seemed to be able to understand the Ice Bear's final look.
It has to be said that this Soul Saint senior was truly ruthless in his actions, but how come Hao Te felt that such a ruthless being did not seem to have any ill intentions towards him?
Although he should be more vigilant when traveling in the Spirit Master World, especially in such a wilderness, he just felt that Oscar would not harm him.
He has always had this intuition, and it is precisely because of this faint intuition that he has survived to this day and cultivated to level seventy.
Looking at the black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring slowly condensing on the body of the Ice Bear in front of him, Hao Te suppressed his thoughts, sat cross-legged, and began to meditate.
If he successfully absorbs this Soul Ring, he can advance to the Soul Saint realm and become a Soul Saint powerhouse.
Oscar casually sat down on a boulder, calmly scanning his surroundings. Apart from Hao Te, the other six were Meditation Cultivation to recover their Soul Power.
However, they were not fully focused on meditation. Instead, they kept a watchful eye on their surroundings, even with the protection of Hao Te.
Everyone knew that Oscar had just returned and had given Hao Te a Super Recovery Great Sausage. But they also knew that he wouldn't give away so many of such a precious Sausage, so they continued meditating to recover.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but marvel at Hao Te's good fortune in encountering such a powerful person willing to help him.
At the same time, they were all cursing in their hearts. Oscar was helping Hao Te, but after Hao Te absorbed the Soul Ring, they would have to go with Hao Te to help Oscar.
Given Hao Te's personality, as long as Oscar doesn't ask them to deliberately go to their deaths, he will definitely help them wholeheartedly, after all, Hao Te has received such a great favor from Oscar.
Oscar casually glanced around, but in fact he had already scanned the area with his Spiritual Power and found that there were no more Soul Beast of Ten Thousand Year Level or more within a ten-mile radius.
Because the Ice Bear has an extremely strong sense of territory, apart from those weak Soul Beast below the Ten Thousand Year Level who cannot threaten Ice Bear, any Soul Beast with a cultivation level of ten thousand years or more will suffer a terrifying attack as soon as it enters its territory.
Therefore, there are no other more powerful Soul Beast in this area, and the few thousand-year and hundred-year Soul Beast that exist no longer pose a threat to their team.
However, just as Oscar was idly glancing around, his gaze suddenly stopped on the body of the Ice Bear next to Hao Te.
At this moment, Hao Te had already begun absorbing the Ice Bear's Soul Ring. All his energy was focused on absorbing the Seventh Spirit Ring, making it almost impossible for him to pay attention to the outside world.
Oscar slowly rose and walked to the side of the Ice Bear's body. His right hand transformed into a huge, sharp Bone Dragon claw. Oscar felt the Soul Power fluctuations within the Ice Bear's body and couldn't help but change his expression slightly.
The next moment, Oscar swung his bone claws and disemboweled the Ice Bear. In no time, Oscar actually took out a huge, crystalline bone from it.
Oscar looked at the Ice Bear Torso Soul Bone, which was over 40,000 years old, and a smile appeared on his face.
This Spirit Bone was truly unexpected. He originally only wanted to help Hao Te obtain Soul Ring and then find an opportunity to bring him under his command.
Unexpectedly, this actually changed the original plot, as the Ice Bear dropped a Spirit Bone? Torso Soul Bone over 40,000 years old is already considered a top-grade item, right? After all, Spirit Bone are rare in the Spirit Master World, and Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone are even rarer.
However, considering the tragic state of the Ice Bear, Oscar could actually understand the origin of this Spirit Bone.
The creation of Spirit Bone is guaranteed for Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast or less; for Soul Beast below Hundred Thousand Year Level, it's all a matter of chance.
One of the methods is to incite resentment in Soul Beast, thereby increasing the chances of obtaining Spirit Bone.
Oscar, by sheer accident, tormented the Ice Bear and made it experience the instantaneous shift between hope and despair, which ultimately resulted in the creation of this Spirit Bone.
The moment Oscar took out the Spirit Bone, he felt six different Spiritual Power locking onto him, and he knew without a doubt where these six Spiritual Power came from.
The Spiritual Power of those two Soul Ancestor was almost negligible, because Soul Master's Spiritual Power only increases significantly when they reach the Spirit King level; before that, their Spiritual Power is quite weak.
This is why Soul Master can only absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and resist Soul Shock after reaching level fifty.
Of course, exceptions include characters like Oscar and Dugu Yan who have cheat codes.
One of them took Immortal Grade Pill made from the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, specifically designed to enhance Spiritual Power; the other took the Immortal Emperor Grade's Lovesick Heartbreak Red. Their opportunities were almost impossible for others to replicate.
Of course, there is another way to make your Spiritual Power strong enough to absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring before level 50, which is to absorb a Head Soul Bone, but it requires at least Ten Thousand Year Level.
These methods can all enable a Soul Master with sufficient physical attributes to possess the Spiritual Power strength to absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring before reaching level fifty.
But these are almost all very difficult to achieve, because such opportunities are rare and hard to come by.
Whether it's a Ten Thousand Year Level Head Soul Bone or Immortal Herb, an ordinary Soul Master might not encounter it even in eight lifetimes.
Oscar remained completely calm, seemingly unconcerned about the gazes of the six people. He stored the over 40,000-year-old Torso Soul Bone into his Soul Tool, and then calmly began dissecting the Ice Bear's body.
He wasn't taking the Ice Bear's body away; it was part of Oscar's payment to the others. He dissected the body simply because he hadn't eaten bear paws in a long time.
Oscar skillfully removed the two front paws. The two front paws of the bear are the most delicious part. Not only is the meat delicate and delicious, but the tendons are also more evenly distributed. The meat is bouncy and chewy, which is incomparable to the hind paws.
After glancing at the other six who were still Meditation Cultivation, Oscar lit a campfire not far from Hao Te and began to deal with one of the forepaws.
Now that there are no more Soul Beast within a ten-mile radius that can threaten Oscar, he naturally doesn't need to worry about any danger.
Moreover, his Spiritual Power was constantly scanning his surroundings, and he could sense any disturbance in advance. It was just a bear paw; it wouldn't be a big problem.
Oscar's Core Flame is made of a special material. Even in this freezing weather, a pile of firewood can ignite a raging Lie Yan without producing the thick smoke that firewood usually does.
After lighting the campfire, Oscar focused intently on preparing the bear paw in his hands, as if nothing could be more important.
