Third Spirit Ring, Level 33

It took the three of them only a week to travel from Shrek Academy to Sunset Forest. After arriving, they headed straight for the location Oscar had found during his earlier research.

Spirit beasts like Pointed Tail Swifts generally did not change their habitats. Of course, if they had moved, Oscar could only spend more time searching for them.

Although Sunset Forest could not compare to Star Dou Great Forest, its overall area was still far from small—roughly one-third the size of Star Dou Great Forest. Its vast expanse occupied a large portion of Heaven Dou Empire's territory.

Various mountain ranges crisscrossed the forest, but seventy percent of the spirit beasts living in Sunset Forest were plant-type spirit beasts, while beast-type spirit beasts accounted for only around thirty percent.

This was due to the climate where Sunset Forest was located, which also made it the preferred hunting ground for most plant-type spirit masters and some weaker spirit masters.

Compared to Star Dou Great Forest, the danger level here was lower. After all, most plant-type spirit beasts did not possess the fierce aggression of Beast Spirits.

Gai Yue was now Level 85. With his strength, protecting Oscar and Shao Xin would be no problem as long as they did not encounter a Hundred Thousand Year Level spirit beast.

What was more, Shao Xin, a Level 70 quasi-Soul Saint, was there to assist him, making Gai Yue even more formidable. Thus, the atmosphere was rather relaxed as the three traveled through Sunset Forest.

Speaking of which, after the Whale Rubber hunting operation two years ago, all the teachers at Shrek Academy had made remarkable breakthroughs. Each had reached the realm they possessed when they appeared three years later in the original work. Flender and Zhao Wuji had respectively reached Level 78 and Level 76.

This was also a good thing for Oscar. The stronger his teachers were, the stronger the backing he had now.

Shrek Academy could be said to be Oscar's current backing. After all, it would not be convenient for him to join another force. If he left now, he would never get the chance to meet Tang San.

After searching Sunset Forest for a week, Oscar's Third Spirit Ring finally had a lead, because they found that Pointed Tail Swift flock.

According to Gai Yue's observations, there were at least three Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beasts within this Pointed Tail Swift flock, and the entire flock numbered over fifty.

This discovery naturally thrilled Oscar the most, because he finally had a source for his Third Spirit Ring.

Based on his current Physical Fitness, the age of his Third Spirit Ring could range from six thousand to seven thousand five hundred years. If he wanted the safest possible age, then six thousand five hundred to seven thousand years would be the most reliable.

At that age, Oscar could perfectly absorb the Spirit Ring without worrying about suffering a backlash and exploding to death. After weighing the pros and cons, Gai Yue set his sights on a Sixty-seven Hundred Years Pointed Tail Swift.

After deciding on the target, Gai Yue had Oscar and Shao Xin wait somewhere safe while he went alone to capture a Pointed Tail Swift for Oscar.

Although Pointed Tail Swifts were extremely fast—one could say their speed was unmatched among spirit beasts of the same level—Gai Yue was a Level 85 Soul Douluo.

A thousand-year Pointed Tail Swift might be fast, but escaping from Gai Yue's grasp was basically impossible.

Thus, after only one shichen, Gai Yue returned to Oscar with a Sixty-seven Hundred Years Pointed Tail Swift. Seeing this satisfactory source for his Third Spirit Ring, Oscar was deeply excited as well.

Although he could now use the Azure Spirit Jade Sword for Sword Flight, from the perspective of a support-type spirit master, flight truly was an excellent choice.

Oscar had also considered obtaining an offensive Spirit Ring for his Third Spirit Ring, but after thinking it over for a long time, he felt it was better to prioritize support-type Spirit Abilities.

After all, even if he absorbed one beyond his level, the Attack Power provided by a thousand-year Spirit Ability would absolutely be inferior to that of a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring. That was why Oscar chose to obtain another support-type Spirit Ability rather than an offensive Spirit Ability now.

Even the replication Spirit Ability of the original Oscar, powerful as it was, came from his Sixth Spirit Ring. And the original Oscar's Sixth Spirit Ring had reached twenty-five thousand years.

At his current stage, although Oscar could absorb Spirit Rings beyond his level, even the slight enhancement brought by such an absorption could never compare to a genuine Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring.

More importantly, Oscar now had the Azure Spirit Jade Sword to make up for his lack of Attack Power. There was simply no need to put the cart before the horse by considering offensive Spirit Abilities. Besides, a thousand-year offensive Spirit Ability might not even be stronger than Oscar's own sword.

Although his Azure Spirit Jade Sword was not a true martial spirit, it would absolutely not put him at a disadvantage before Level 70. After Level 70, the Azure Spirit Jade Sword would also evolve alongside the growth of his strength, so his Attack Power was completely sufficient.

Since that was the case, why not obtain several more support-type Spirit Abilities? After all, there were no restrictions on him consuming his own Spirit Abilities now, and the effects were the same as when others consumed them.

Therefore, with the Azure Spirit Jade Sword, obtaining several more support-type abilities would instead benefit Oscar's increase in strength, and could even greatly enhance his future team.

After considering everything, Oscar still chose a flight Spirit Ability. Moreover, the flying spirit beast he chose was one of the finest among its kind, with an age as high as Sixty-seven Hundred Years.

"Xiao Ao, make your move." After saying that, Gai Yue stood to the side and guarded Oscar.

Oscar nodded. Looking at the Pointed Tail Swift, whose entire body except for its head had been frozen in ice, he decisively summoned the Azure Spirit Jade Sword and ended the spirit beast's life with a single strike.

As Oscar's attack ended the Pointed Tail Swift's life, a Purple Spirit Ring slowly condensed into form. Oscar sat down cross-legged and released his martial spirit, while two yellow Spirit Rings gradually emerged from his Body Surface.

Guided by Oscar's Soul Power, the Purple Spirit Ring above the Pointed Tail Swift's body slowly moved above Oscar's head. Yet even as the pressure of more than six thousand years of soul power poured down upon him, Oscar's expression remained calm.

Seeing that Oscar had begun absorbing the Spirit Ring, Shao Xin picked up the Pointed Tail Swift's body and began preparing it. He set up a fire nearby and started roasting it.

In truth, while inside a Spirit Beast Forest, the greatest taboo was an open flame, because it could easily draw powerful spirit beasts over. Even the aroma of roasted meat could do the same.

But with Gai Yue here, merely releasing the pressure belonging to a Soul Douluo was enough to deter those spirit beasts. That was why Shao Xin could barbecue so calmly.

Oscar, who was absorbing the Spirit Ring, did not waste even the slightest bit of its power. He fully used the energy of the Spirit Ring to temper his Physique again and cleanse his body.

A full three shichen passed. When the Pointed Tail Swift's Spirit Ring completely stabilized on Oscar's Body Surface, Oscar's Soul Power also thoroughly stabilized at Level 33.

Oscar slowly opened his eyes, a sharp gleam flickering within them. Two yellow and one purple Spirit Rings shone brilliantly around his Body Surface.

"Teacher, I succeeded. My Soul Power has reached Level 33, and my Third Spirit Ability is also extremely powerful," Oscar said to Gai Yue.

Gai Yue smiled and nodded at those words. A Third Spirit Ring of more than six thousand years was something he had never even heard of before, yet now he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

All of this was thanks to Oscar himself. Without Oscar, he would not have reached Level 85 so quickly either!

"Not bad. Introduce your Third Spirit Ability," Gai Yue said approvingly.
