Back to the Academy: Changes to the External Spirit Bone
After bidding farewell to Dugu Bo, Oscar, accompanied by Dugu Yan, traveled for a month, stopping and starting along the way, before finally returning to the Shrek Academy.
Oscar took Dugu Yan on a nice trip, since Dugu Yan had never really gone out and played with people like this before.
Furthermore, now that Oscar and Dugu Yan have confirmed their relationship, the significance of this relationship is naturally different.
This month was basically like a honeymoon for the young couple. Their Soul Power didn't improve much during the month, but their mood was exceptionally good.
When Oscar brought Dugu Yan to the Shrek Academy, the first person to see them was Teacher Li Yusong, because Teacher Li often strolled around the academy when he had nothing to do, partly to relax and partly to patrol.
Although he had heard about Oscar and Dugu Yan from Gai Yue and Shao Xin, especially in the following months when Gai Yue even said that Oscar and Dugu Yan had confirmed their relationship.
This made everyone at the Shrek Academy eager to see Dugu Yan as soon as possible. After all, they were very curious about the girl who could captivate their academy's Little Monster.
Ma Hongjun, in particular, was very curious about what charm his sister-in-law possessed that could make his cultivation fanatic Brother Ao, Brother Ao, fall at her feet.
"Sister, this is Teacher Li Yusong. Before I met him, I learned staff techniques from Oscar Li Yusong as they Dugu Yan.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan nodded. "Hello, Teacher Li, I am Dugu Yan, Oscar's girlfriend."
Having spent a year with Oscar, although Oscar didn't have the opportunity to take her out to play, he often comforted her. In addition, the two of them traveled and played together for a month this time, and Dugu Yan became much more cheerful when facing outsiders.
Upon hearing this, Li Yusong repeatedly said "good." After exchanging pleasantries with Li Yusong, Oscar took Dugu Yan to Gai Yue's courtyard.
The two did not encounter Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai on the way. Moreover, Rong Yi also told Oscar that Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai should be undergoing practical training with Zhao Wuji.
So Oscar didn't rush to find them. Instead, he planned to visit the teacher first, then go to the dean's office to find Flender, and then ask Lu Qibin to help Dugu Yan with her enrollment.
Although Shrek Academy only has a few students and is not recognized by Suotuo City, it still has admission certificates, after all, it is still an academy.
Upon arriving at Gai Yue's courtyard, Oscar saw that the door was not closed and led Dugu Yan inside.
When Dugu Yan arrived at the courtyard, she saw the peach blossoms in full bloom and thought it was very beautiful. She really liked the fresh and elegant environment.
After learning that this was Oscar's dean, Dugu Yan took the initiative to go in and find Gai Yue.
Because Gai Yue was quite familiar with them, and Gai Yue really liked Dugu Yan. Even though Dugu Yan wasn't Gai Yue 'Gai Yue student, she addressed him as "teacher" because of Oscar.
Entering the courtyard, one sees beautiful peach blossoms in full bloom. At this moment, Gai Yue is practicing his swordplay in the courtyard. His swordsmanship is sharp and decisive yet elegant. Each swing of the sword carries a touch of coldness. Blue Ice Seal forms streaks of light and shadow around Gai Yue, resembling the moon and peach blossoms...
Oscar gently patted Dugu Yan's jade hand, then slowly stepped forward. A sky-blue light shone from his left hand, and a Jade Sword appeared in his grasp.
"Teacher, let me practice with you!" Oscar said softly, picking up his sword and dancing with Gai Yue.
Gai Yue glanced at Oscar, then thrust his Frost Moon Sword toward Oscar: "Perfect, let's see if you've been slacking off lately."
The figures of the master and disciple overlapped in the courtyard where peach blossoms were in full bloom. The shadows of ice-blue and sky-blue swords danced around the two of them, stirring up the peach blossoms on the ground and creating a peach dance with sword momentum like a rainbow.
Dugu Yan looked at her boyfriend with shining eyes. She already knew how outstanding Oscar was, but she also knew that Oscar's excellence was definitely more than that.
Throughout the year they spent together, Dugu Yan never had a single argument with Oscar. Even when they disagreed on something, he was always able to resolve it naturally and easily.
Although Dugu Yan, who often read storybooks as a child, had almost no social life, Dugu Yan understood just how rare a gentle and refined boy like Oscar was.
Moreover, Oscar can always be gentle when he's with her, but he has a completely different attitude when he's with outsiders.
This favoritism made her feel very safe.
However, Dugu Bo forbade them from doing that, so throughout the year, even when the emotions and atmosphere were right, they could only helplessly stop when it came to taking the final step.
In fact, this was not only torture for Oscar, but also for Dugu Yan was already sixteen years old. After all, if a girl had those kinds of thoughts, they would be five times stronger than those of a boy.
After a long while, the sword was finished. Gai Yue looked at Oscar with satisfaction and couldn't help but praise him, "Xiao Ao, I didn't expect that in just over three years you have already cultivated sword intent. Not bad, your talent in swordsmanship is even better than your teacher's."
"Although you don't have Martial Soul, External Soul Bone is actually a part of your body in a sense. Apart from not being able to add Soul Ring, it is not much different from Martial Soul, and is even more responsive to Martial Soul. So it has its advantages and disadvantages."
Hearing Gai Yue's words, Oscar smiled slightly, "Thank you for the praise, teacher. I only recently comprehended this sword intent. I found that after comprehending the sword intent, my killing ability has indeed improved. When I use the sword, my whole aura changes."
Oscar said, turning the Jade Sword in his hand around. "And teacher, I have another surprise for you."
Upon hearing Oscar's words, Gai Yue nodded, wanting to see what surprise Oscar had in store for him.
Then, Oscar's Soul Power surged, and under the stimulation of the Soul Power, the Jade Sword in Oscar's hand changed. The original sky-blue jade Jade Sword had two more colors on it, namely ice blue and crimson.
The two colors complement each other perfectly, and instead of looking out of place, they make the Jade Sword in Oscar's hand look even more eerie, adding a touch of danger to its original noble appearance.
With a sky-blue base color, the red and blue colors complement each other, and the final double blades also present a red and a blue color, clearly distinct yet blended together.
"Oh?" Seeing the changes in Oscar's External Soul Bone, Gai Yue felt a little expectant.
Oscar raised his hand and swung his sword, unleashing a sudden burst of sword energy. However, this time, the sword energy was not an ordinary, attribute-less attack sword energy, but rather, like Gai Yue's signature Ice Sword Qi, it carried a chilling and captivating quality.
This sword strike instantly Gai Yue had suggested not far away. Moreover, a second before freezing it, the Ice Sword Qi left a deep cut on the iron man's chest.
"This?!" Gai Yue was slightly surprised when he saw this.
Oscar's Jade Sword had no elemental attributes; its only property was Severing, which increased attack power. But now it had the same Ice Attribute as Oscar.
This means Oscar's sword will be stronger, and his moves will have more variety.
But now it wasn't just what Gai Yue saw. Oscar had already swung his sword again, and this time the sword strike was not an ice strike, but a crimson flame strike.
The scorching slash struck the same spot where the previous sword had landed. In the clash between ice and Lie Yan, the frost on the frozen iron man suddenly melted, and a large amount of mist rose up. The heat turned the iron man red-hot. When the mist dissipated, the iron man had been severed from the chest.
"Xiao Ao, is this what you gained from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?" Gai Yue asked, looking at the scene.
Oscar nodded. "Actually, when I was absorbing the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, my External Soul Bone had already undergone some changes. Then, as I continued to refine the remaining medicinal power in my body, the evolution of my External Soul Bone became more obvious. Until I completely absorbed the medicinal power of the two Immortal Herbs, my External Soul Bone also underwent a complete evolution."
"I see. External Soul Bone are part of the body, so such changes are to be expected. But congratulations! This evolution of your External Soul Bone will further enhance your combat power. Although it cannot be equipped with Soul Ring, I think with your abilities, you will be no weaker than any Battle Spirit Master when using it." Gai Yue nodded and analyzed seriously.
