Half a Year, Level 40

Oscar rode his Jade Sword and slowly ascended to the high platform, landing beside Dugu Yan. Dugu Yan handed him a cup of fruit Fruit Tea. Oscar took the Fruit Tea, took a sip, and then looked at Gai Yue: "How is it, teacher?"

Gai Yue nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, your swordsmanship has improved a lot, and your Sword Control Technique has become even more refined."

Oscar smiled happily upon hearing this, "That's all thanks to the teacher's excellent teaching."

Hearing this, Gai Yue's smile remained unchanged, "Stop joking. Your talent is above mine. If it weren't for the fact that you don't have Sword Martial Soul, your achievements wouldn't even be what they are today."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun, who had just landed next to Oscar, widened his eyes. "Teacher Gai Yue, what you're saying is too exaggerated. Our boss is already this powerful now. If his External Soul Bone becomes Martial Soul, wouldn't he really be defying the heavens?"

Hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Dai Mubai had barely recovered some of his Soul Power after consuming the Super Recovery Great Sausage, nodded in agreement. "Brother Ao is already so monstrous, I didn't expect this to be his limit?"

Zhu Zhuqing, standing next to Dai Mubai, nodded in agreement. "Yes, even if Mu Bai, Xiao Ma, and I joined forces, we still couldn't beat Brother Ao. I didn't expect that this wasn't even his limit..."

Oscar placed his cup on the table and said, "Everything has its price. You don't need to look at me like that. Everything I have now is the result of my own hard work."

"Although my current strength is supported by external factors, it is ultimately my own problem. So you don't need to envy anything. You all have great talent. As long as you are willing to work hard now, your future achievements will not be inferior to mine."

While Oscar's words carried a degree of reassurance, the underlying truth was indeed valid.

As the saying goes, the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, the second best time is now. As long as one is aware of their problems and works to solve them, no one's future will be too bad.

Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing nodded in unison, taking Oscar's words to heart.

Dugu Yan, standing next to Oscar, looked at Oscar with shining eyes and couldn't help but say, "Xiao Ao, you're as outstanding as ever."

After a pause, Dugu Yan said firmly, "But I will try my best to keep up with you and I will definitely not be left behind."

Oscar turned to look at Dugu Yan tenderly. "Don't worry, I won't abandon you either, after all, we're a couple."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan lowered her head shyly, her face flushed, seemingly lost in thought.

Ma Hongjun chimed in from the side, "Oh my, oh my, the boss is so good at sweet-talking people, even his wife is blushing..."

Gai Yue and Zhao Wuji looked at these energetic children and smiled with satisfaction.

In the years that followed, Oscar and the rest of the Shrek Academy continued to make progress. Under Oscar's leadership as the head of self-discipline, Shrek Academy is now thriving.

What Oscar didn't know was that Flender, who had broken through to level 80, had already told his former good friend Yu Xiaogang the good news of his breakthrough. Although Yu Xiaogang was now in Nuoding City, he still maintained contact with Flender.

After all, he also needed to find a good path for his disciple Tang San, who was already almost eleven years old and would graduate from Tang San Nuoding Academy at the age of twelve. Therefore, Yu Xiaogang needed to find a good academy for Tang San to study at.

His target was Flender's Shrek Academy. In order to promote his Shrek Academy and ensure the teaching quality of the Shrek Academy for Yu Xiaogang, Flender also told Yu Xiaogang that he had broken through to the Soul Douluo level.

Yu Xiaogang was naturally pleased, as it was indeed something to be happy about that his friend had made a breakthrough in his strength.

Moreover, the main force behind the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the Golden Iron Triangle combination he, Flender, and Liu Erlong is still Yu Xiaogang. Now that Flender has broken through a level, it means that his strength has been improved.

That's right, that's how Yu Xiaogang sees it. After all, in his opinion, without him, there would be no Martial Soul Fusion Skill between the three of them.

Moreover, it was precisely because of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill that Yu Xiaogang was able to know the strength of higher-level Soul Master with only a Soul Power of level 20 or so.

It was precisely because of his powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill that Yu Xiaogang was less concerned about his cultivation level. After all, his talent was there, and level 29 was already the highest he could achieve.

Besides, so what if he can never break through level 30 in his lifetime? His Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Flender and Liu Erlong still revolves around him, doesn't it? Of course, apart from Yu Xiaogang, no one else knows anything about this. Even Flender doesn't know Yu Xiaogang's thoughts, since Yu Xiaogang wouldn't say such things in front of Flender.

Flender's small action led to some things happening beyond Oscar's expectations, but overall it didn't have a significant impact.

So it doesn't matter if Oscar doesn't know now, because he just needs to follow his own path and the future will be smooth sailing.

Under Oscar's leadership, the students of the Shrek Academy underwent a long period of arduous training. Although the process was painful, the results were very satisfying for everyone.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and Oscar's Soul Power finally broke through from level 38 to level 40. Now he only needs one Soul Ring to break through to the Soul Ancestor realm.

Oscar had meticulously planned his Fourth Spirit Ring long ago, and now that his Soul Power has broken through, it's time for him to set off to hunt for the Fourth Spirit Ring he has been dreaming of.

Besides Oscar's improvement, other students at the Shrek Academy also made great strides. Among them, Dugu Yan's Soul Power reached the peak of level 39, just one step away from level 40.

Ma Hongjun has just broken through to level 39, which is one step closer to level 40. At his cultivation speed, he should be able to steadily advance to level 40 in about three months.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing also steadily increased their Soul Power by two levels. Zhu Zhuqing reached level 25, while Dai Mubai reached level 35. Now, there is less than a year and a half left before Tang San and his friends arrive at the Shrek Academy in the original story.

It's safe to say that in a year and a half, the timeline will reach the point where Tang San's "dream" began in the original story...

However, everything will be different now. Because of Oscar's existence, the fates of Dugu Yan, Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, as well as all the teachers of the Shrek Academy, have been quietly changed.

Even the addition of Oscar, this little butterfly, will cause a huge change in the fate of the main characters Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong in the original novel a year and a half later.

However, Oscar had already anticipated this. After all, a butterfly flapping its wings in the Eastern Continent can cause a storm in the Western Continent, let alone Oscar, who has already changed some of the original story's development.

However, Oscar doesn't have time to think about these things right now. Having broken through level 40, he's currently busy preparing to set off to obtain his Fourth Spirit Ring! Oscar can guarantee that after obtaining his Fourth Spirit Ring, his strength will undergo another earth-shattering change, and it might even change the cultivation path of Food System Soul Master.
