The sausage melted into a refined stream of soul power the moment it entered his mouth, requiring no chewing, and continuously restored Dai Mubai.
After taking Oscar's First Spirit Ability, the previously listless Dai Mubai quickly regained his vigor. At the same time, he could not help but marvel at how powerful the ability was. In only a short while, more than half of his soul power and stamina had recovered, and even the pain in his fractured right arm had lessened considerably.
The reason it had such an effect was because Oscar's Soul Power Level far surpassed Dai Mubai's.
The sausage Dai Mubai had eaten had been made when Oscar was level twenty-nine. For Dai Mubai, one was enough to provide ample recovery.
"Teacher Zhao, does this mean I passed the assessment, or did I fail?" Supported by Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai could not help asking Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji chuckled. "The match was an assessment, but victory is not necessarily the standard. Earning Xiao Ao's recognition is the mark of your admission."
Hearing this, Dai Mubai was delighted, but he could not help glancing once more at Oscar beside Zhao Wuji.
It was not just Ma Hongjun who held this handsome silver-haired young man in blind admiration. Even Vice Dean Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint, held Oscar in such high regard? But Ma Hongjun had just said that the sausage he had eaten was Oscar's First Spirit Ability. Didn't that mean Oscar was a Food System Soul Master? Based on the ability's effects and Oscar's age, he was certainly a genius no weaker than Ma Hongjun, but weren't Food System Soul Masters support types? How could a support-type soul master earn the admiration of an Assault System soul master like Ma Hongjun and such high praise from the vice dean?
His successful admission was marked by earning the other man's recognition? Since when had Food System soul masters become this badass?
As Dai Mubai pondered, Oscar leaped down from the platform and arrived before him.
"Your right forearm has a minor fracture. I'll bandage it simply for now. With your Physical Fitness, half a month of rest should be enough for it to heal." As Oscar spoke, he had already begun bandaging Dai Mubai's arm.
Dai Mubai did not resist. He merely could not help studying Oscar. Only from this close did he clearly see just how handsome Oscar was—and his skin was this good too?
"Peh, peh, peh! What am I even thinking?" Dai Mubai shook his head, throwing away those ridiculous thoughts.
Oscar quickly finished bandaging him and hung his right arm around his neck to prevent the fracture from reopening while he moved.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Oscar. Martial Soul: Supreme Sausage. I'm currently Shrek's big brother." Oscar smiled lightly. "Of course, if you want this position, you only need to defeat me."
"Huh... huh?" Dai Mubai froze for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Aren't you a Food System Soul Master?"
Ma Hongjun chuckled from the side. "Heh, Brother Ao isn't as simple as you think. But if you want to challenge him, beat me first."
Dai Mubai gave a bitter smile. He was currently twelve years old and level twenty-five, while Ma Hongjun was nine and already level twenty-five. Not only was he inferior in talent, but there was also a huge gap in their strength.
Challenge Oscar? He could not even beat Ma Hongjun!
Still, Dai Mubai could not help asking, "What was your Innate Soul Power?"
Ma Hongjun smiled. "Level nine."
"What?!" Dai Mubai was dumbfounded when he heard that. His Innate Soul Power was also level nine, so why was the difference between them so great? Seeing Dai Mubai's expression, Ma Hongjun asked, "What, was your Innate Soul Power level nine too?"
Hearing that, Dai Mubai nodded somewhat awkwardly. "That's right, but my cultivation speed isn't slow either. How could you cultivate so quickly?"
Ma Hongjun glanced at Oscar before replying, "Because of Brother Ao. As long as you cultivate with Brother Ao, it's impossible to fall behind."
As he spoke, Ma Hongjun recalled the painful training sessions from before and could not help shuddering. He did not even know how he had endured them.
Dai Mubai looked at Oscar. Thinking about how Ma Hongjun had previously said that Oscar could wield a sword and such, the doubts in his heart only grew.
Could he be a Twin Martial Souls wielder? Born into the imperial family, Dai Mubai was well-informed.
With a Sausage Martial Soul, combined with what Ma Hongjun had told him earlier about Oscar being a genius swordsman, only Twin Martial Souls could explain it.
At that thought, Dai Mubai once again marveled. Was this Shrek Academy, which only accepted monsters? If so, perhaps he could learn even more here. It might not be impossible for him to surpass that elder brother in the future.
Dai Mubai, who had already been somewhat ready to give up, found a glimmer of hope in this assessment.
Looking at the three who were already chatting happily, Zhao Wuji said directly, "Now that you know each other, Xiao Ao, take Dai Mubai to the Dormitory and show him around the academy while you're at it."
Oscar nodded. "Leave it to us."
Zhao Wuji then remained where he was to continue waiting, while Ma Hongjun said to Oscar, "Then, Brother Ao, I'll go back and help Teacher Li."
Oscar nodded in response, then asked Dai Mubai, "Can you walk on your own?"
Dai Mubai nodded and followed Oscar away from the plaza.
As Dai Mubai followed Oscar along, looking around as they walked, Oscar introduced him to the academy's surroundings and told him about each of its teachers.
When Dai Mubai heard that the teacher with the lowest cultivation at Shrek Academy was a Soul Emperor, The Whole Person was completely at a loss for words.
Born into the imperial family, he naturally knew how rare powerful soul masters were. Yet a single Shrek Academy had gathered several of them? There was even a Soul Douluo among them? However, when Oscar said that this Soul Douluo was his teacher and did not teach classes, Dai Mubai became even more curious about Oscar's identity.
Not only was Oscar respected by Ma Hongjun, but even Vice Dean Zhao Wuji treated him almost like his own son. And now this Oscar before him had a Soul Douluo as his teacher?
After hesitating for a long while, Dai Mubai decided to ask what was on his mind. Though it was somewhat improper to be so direct, he had found Oscar to be rather easygoing.
"Brother Ao, what level are you now? You don't look much older than Ma Hongjun, do you?" Dai Mubai asked.
Oscar was briefly stunned by how Dai Mubai addressed him, then smiled. "You can call me that. After all, Shrek has always respected strength above all else."
Dai Mubai nodded as if it were only natural. Though he was proud, he could not even defeat Ma Hongjun. How could he dare act presumptuously toward Oscar, whom even Ma Hongjun held in such high esteem?
Moreover, in Dai Mubai's eyes, Oscar was very likely a legendary Twin Martial Souls wielder.
"I just broke through level thirty at noon. I'm two years older than Hongjun, and I'm eleven this year," Oscar answered without hiding anything.
Hearing Oscar's answer, Dai Mubai was completely stunned. Eleven years old and level thirty? No wonder Ma Hongjun treated Oscar that way. Even he had never heard of such talent!
"Then, Brother Ao, could you be the legendary wielder of Twin Martial Souls? The sausage you gave me earlier was a Food System Spirit Ability, and Ma Hongjun said you're also an extraordinarily gifted swordsman," Dai Mubai continued.
