Soul Core Plans, the Venerable of the Star Dou Great Forest
Dugu Yan watched Oscar unleash his sword with disbelief. Oscar was indeed a true Twin Martial Souls possessor, but his Second Martial Soul didn't have any Soul Skill attached to it. Moreover, Oscar clearly hadn't fully mastered the Divine Slaughter's Domain, yet this sword strike contained the aura of the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
Ma Hongjun and Hell White Tiger's final attacks had definitely reached the Soul Saint level, but Oscar neutralized them with such a casual sword strike? They all knew Oscar was strong, but they didn't expect him to be this strong.
Ma Hongjun landed slowly, staring blankly at his boss whom he hadn't seen for over a year. If it were Oscar fighting him, how many swords could he withstand?
Even if Ma Hongjun used his Sixth Spirit Ability of Rebirth from Desperation, the outcome would probably be nothing more than crippling him with one sword strike and killing him with two.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing consumed another Oscar's Super Recovery Great Sausage to heal their injuries and restore their Soul Power. At the same time, they also consumed a Secret Recipe Detoxifying Small Sausage to dispel the continued burning from Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Flame.
Noticing the incredulous looks on everyone's faces, Oscar, holding his teacup, calmly smiled and replied, "Like that sword strike just now, I can only swing it five times at most now."
Five swords? That's all? Do you know how powerful your sword strike is? Everyone couldn't help but inwardly complain upon hearing this. This is too terrifying! One sword strike is enough to severely injure a Soul Saint. Five swords! What does that even mean? In fact, Oscar was telling the truth. Although he is currently at level 75, his Second Martial Soul does not have any attached Soul Ring. The sword strike he just delivered was entirely his own sword intent condensed and infused with the effects of the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
The Soul Power consumed was not much; it was mainly Spiritual Power and the sword intent that one had condensed.
If Oscar were to add Soul Ring to his Second Martial Soul, the power of that sword strike would increase several times over, and the energy consumption would be greatly reduced.
In the past, Oscar could only rely on the Fourth Spirit Ability or Fifth Spirit Ability skill of the Sausage Martial Soul to achieve powerful combat strength.
Now he is not only an all-around Soul Master, but his sword is also indestructible and can break through anything.
Since he comprehended his own domineering sword intent, Oscar's sword has become increasingly powerful.
Compared to Gai Yue and Chen Xin, their sword intent is already on par; the only difference lies in their Soul Power foundation.
Besides marveling at the power of Oscar's sword strike, the strength of Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing should not be underestimated either.
Even though Ning Rongrong was originally just a Support System Spirit Master, she can now become a Battle Spirit Master by relying on Oscar's Copy Sausage.
Furthermore, Ning Rongrong's current combat ability is also quite strong. With the copying of a top-tier Martial Soul, coupled with her physical ability to absorb Soul Ring beyond her level, she is capable of fighting beyond her level.
Furthermore, before the battle begins, she can also give herself a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda boost, achieving a perfect self-sufficient closed loop.
In a sense, Oscar is now a legendary and outstanding Food System Soul Master.
Even the senior Food System Soul Master could never have Soul Skill as overpowered as Oscar's. This is the benefit of absorbing Soul Ring beyond one's level.
After watching the group matches, everyone had a few more one-on-one matches.
Xiao Wu VS Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuqing VS Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu VS Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun VS Dai Mubai...
Of course, the most eye-catching battle was between Oscar and Dugu Yan.
Since Dugu Yan's Martial Soul Evolution, she has transformed from a simple Control System Spirit Master into a semi-omnipotent Soul Master capable of both strong offense and control, and even some support.
In the battle between Oscar and Dugu Yan, with her level 70 strength, fought Oscar, who had consumed the Dark Demon Evil Tiger Intestine, to a standstill.
This is enough to prove how terrifying Dugu Yan's strength is now. Of course, neither of them used the Divine Slaughter's Domain, because they have not yet fully mastered Divine Slaughter's Domain.
Using it now might accidentally injure friendly forces.
The group reunited for a full seven days before returning to their respective posts after Gai Yue's wedding.
Ning Rongrong returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to continue her cultivation, Dugu Yan returned to the Moonlight Pavilion to hone her character in order to quickly master the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing brought Ma Hongjun back to the Star Luo Empire. Oscar instructed them that with the current turbulent situation on the continent, the sooner they take control of the Star Luo Empire, the greater their chances of success in the future.
Dai Mubai, in particular, has already begun to display the majesty of a crown prince. Although he is still the younger brother in front of Oscar, he is now the first in line to become the crown prince in the Star Luo Empire's court.
Dai Weisi is currently only Spirit King, while Dai Mubai, who is seven years younger than him, is already level 60. After returning and obtaining his Sixth Spirit Ring, he will become a true Soul Emperor.
In terms of strength, he has surpassed the First Prince Davis, and more and more people in the court are beginning to support Dai Mubai. In addition, everyone knows that the Third Prince Dai Mubai, and the Young Sect Master of the Sword Sect are close friends.
Ma Hongjun, the closest younger brother of the Sword Sect Young Sect Master, has come to the Star Luo Empire with Dai Mubai for training. Dai Mubai the throne in the future, it will be a powerful alliance.
The future may not be without the possibility of fulfilling Star Luo Empire's lifelong ambition, conquering the Heaven Dou Empire, and completely unifying the continent.
There were countless people who wanted to become his loyal followers, Dai Mubai's prestige soared. In just one year, Dai Weisi went from being full of vigor to being surrounded by enemies.
If it weren't for all the hard work they had put in before, they wouldn't even have a chance to turn things around now.
However, Dai Weisi was no coward. If he had given up because of this difficulty, he would not have the status and strength he has today.
He had already secretly allied himself with several pillars of the empire, and as long as they didn't turn against him, he still had a chance to turn the tables.
Moreover, with the Star Luo Emperor still alive, he still has room to maneuver. While Dai Mubai is still not fully powerful, he still has a chance to inherit the throne.
Since you, Dai Mubai, can win over the Sword Sect as your backing, how can I, Dai Weisi, sit idly by and wait to die?
The Sword Sect is currently at its zenith, and only the Upper Three Sects can rival Sword Sect. However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect supports the Heaven Dou Empire, while the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is also on good terms with the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Clear Sky Sect has closed its mountain.
The only one that can compare to the Sword Sect is the Spirit Hall.
The Spirit Hall had previously contacted Dai Weisi, but he was too proud and arrogant at the time and naturally disdained to cooperate with the Spirit Hall.
Now things are different. If he wants to completely turn the tide, the Spirit Hall is now the only partner he can cooperate with.
After the wedding, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er went to the Shrek Academy to study, while Xue Qingluan stayed at the Sword Sect with Gai Yue and became the true Great Elder's Wife.
The two seemed to be a match made in heaven. They were already very affectionate shortly after getting married, and Gai Yue even introduced Xue Qingluan to some of the affairs and decisions of the Sword Sect.
This is not a challenge to Oscar's position as the Young Sect Master, but rather an attempt to truly integrate the Great Elder's Wife into the Sword Sect.
Less than a month after their marriage, Gai Yue obtained several pills for Xue Qingluan and was not stingy with Whale Rubber either.
Xue Qingluan was initially embarrassed to accept the position, since she had only just married into the family. However, under Gai Yue's influence, Xue Qingluan began to adapt to the role of the Great Elder's Wife.
Xue Qingluan is currently at level 88, and with the support of various resources, it is estimated that she will be able to try to reach level 90 in a short time.
At that time, the Sword Sect will have another Titled Douluo- level powerhouse, and she will be the Great Elder's Wife! Oscar also worked hard to cultivate in the following period of time, and with his perseverance, he quickly mastered the Divine Slaughter's Domain. Before long, he will be able to fully master the use of killing intent.
His Soul Core condensation also made a major breakthrough. His first Soul Core had a special elemental attribute. It was not a single element, but pure elemental energy.
Oscar envisions that after successfully condensing this Soul Core, he can use it to enhance the various elemental powers he possesses to their maximum potential in a short period of time.
It's not about improving just one element, but about improving all elements to their maximum potential.
If his elemental power has reached its limit in the future, then under the power of the Soul Core, the level of that element will continue to break through.
In today's Spirit Master World, there are very few elements that are truly exceptional. The only element that could possibly exist on a large scale is the special vessel that uses Oscar's Fifth Spirit Ability.
The pinnacle is the current state of Martial Soul, but what lies beyond that pinnacle? That transcends the realm of Soul Power; further breakthroughs might lead to the legendary god-level...
Therefore, once this Soul Core is successfully condensed, it will be enough to give Oscar a qualitative leap in combat power and enhance his foundation and recovery ability.
Having found his direction, Oscar worked tirelessly day and night, and his cultivation level didn't lag behind much; everything progressed steadily and gradually.
While Oscar was undergoing arduous training, some things that Oscar had anticipated happened inside the Star Dou Great Forest.
That day, while Oscar's clone, Da Ming Er Ming, and the Three Brothers of the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor, were discussing the next steps in their Soul Spirit Method plan, a huge energy fluctuation appeared at the Star Moon Lake.
The three brothers, Da Ming, Er Ming, and Three Brothers of the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor, instantly assumed a fighting stance, and the terrifying aura of their five Hundred Thousand Year Spirit instantly locked onto the Star Moon Lake.
When Oscar sensed that ancient and powerful aura, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
As if remembering something, the Sky Azure Bull Python looked at the Titan Giant Ape: "Er Ming, do you still remember where our parents went?"
The Titan Giant Ape instantly realized what the Sky Azure Bull Python was saying, "You mean... we've been guarding that formation all this time?"
Da Ming nodded. "Such a vast and ancient power, I think besides that formation, there shouldn't be anything else."
Er Ming asked in surprise, "You mean the thing inside is about to come out?"
"Most likely."
The Three Brothers of the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor listened to their elder brothers' conversation with some confusion. What formation? What existence inside? Could there really be something more powerful than their Beastmen Alliance in this Star Dou Great Forest?
Oscar overheard the conversation between the two beasts and became completely certain of his suspicions.
Just then, a terrifying dragon's might spread from the Star Moon Lake. The aura was so powerful that it seemed capable of intimidating all beasts with just its presence.
All the Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest, including the five Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts by Star Moon Lake at this moment, felt a sense of worship.
Immediately afterwards, a massive, dark gate, over a hundred meters long, appeared above Star Moon Lake, and the dragon's might emanated from behind this enormous portal.
Fortunately, the dragon's might was fleeting and seemed to have no malicious intent.
The five beasts and Oscar looked over at the same time, and two huge golden pupils appeared in the center of the enormous portal. They were the vertical pupils unique to the Dragon Clan.
With just those pupils, it seemed as if they could see through everything about the five Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast present, as well as Oscar's clone.
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Venerable One."
Seeing the two beasts bow, the Three Brothers of the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor seemed to have awakened some fragments from the depths of their bloodline, and immediately bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Venerable One."
Oscar stood calmly in place, and bowed slightly. "Oscar of the Sword Sect Oscar greets Senior."
The vertical pupil first glanced at the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, then casually swept over the Three Brothers of the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor, before finally settling on Oscar.
A moment later, the vertical pupils locked onto Oscar, and a detached voice rang out. "You, come in."
Oscar was quite surprised by those three simple words. There were five Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast present, yet the other party invited him, a human, to enter? "Venerable One, Senior Student..." The Sky Azure Bull Python was about to explain something when it was interrupted by those golden vertical pupils.
"Just do your jobs, I'll take care of the rest."
The voice was unquestionable, as if the Sky Azure Bull Python would suffer a cataclysmic attack if they dared to utter another word.
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape exchanged a glance, giving Oscar a helpless look.
Oscar simply nodded calmly, and a pair of Black Wings quietly unfurled behind him. He took flight and headed straight for the enormous portal.
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape didn't continue to dissuade him because they knew it was just a clone of Oscar, and they wouldn't feel bad even if they lost it.
Moreover, this Venerable One's mere glance was enough to exert immense pressure on the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape; even if they tried to stop him, the final outcome would remain unchanged.
Of course, most importantly, the other party didn't seem to have any ill intentions, they were just a little cold.
Oscar agreed simply because he wanted to know what kind of trouble the other party was up to.
Because he has most likely already guessed who the owner of those golden eyes is.
Oscar was puzzled as to why the other party, who had been silent all along, would suddenly appear at this time.
In the original novel, the Ferocious Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest didn't appear until ten thousand years later. Why are they appearing so early now? Could it be that they have some kind of scheme? Or have they seen the huge rewards that the Soul Spirit Method can bring and are trying to get a share of the profits?
After all, becoming a god is the ultimate goal of all beings on the Douluo Continent, and now they are closest to achieving that goal. Anyone who isn't a fool would definitely choose to take the gamble.
Of course, these are just Oscar's speculations. As for the specific meaning behind the other party's sudden appearance, we'll have to find out for sure.
P. S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
