Mirror Beast
Oscar retrieved his Jade Sword, Dugu Yan also retrieved her Martial Soul. However, Oscar couldn't help but feel a little excited when he thought about the scene of Dugu Yan's Martial Soul Possession just now.
"Sister, how about we wear cheongsams from now on? Dresses aren't really suitable for close combat." Oscar made the suggestion very sincerely, definitely not because he had any other intentions.
When Dugu Yan heard Oscar say that, she imagined a chic and elegant cheongsam and then nodded. "Okay, then will you come with me to buy one when we get back?"
Oscar smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I must accompany you."
It was already getting late, and in the Extreme North, it was basically night for two-thirds of the day. However, even when night fell, the snow-covered place didn't look too dark.
After looking around and not seeing Gai Yue, Dugu Yan asked, "Where is the teacher? I don't see him."
Oscar replied helplessly, "I didn't see it either. When you went inside to take the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, the teacher disappeared. He didn't tell me his schedule either."
Just as Oscar finished speaking, Gai Yue's voice came from outside the courtyard. "You two were so affectionate earlier, I, as your teacher, shouldn't disturb you. I can only go out for a walk."
Upon hearing Gai Yue's voice, Oscar and Dugu Yan exchanged a glance, smiled at each other, and then turned to look at Gai Yue, who had just entered the courtyard.
Oscar asked, "Teacher, where were you just now?"
Gai Yue replied, "I went to check out the Mirror Beast you need. There are indeed a few Mirror Beast in the Extreme North, and they are in the canyon forty miles north of this Ice Seal Mountain. I just went to take a look."
Oscar raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "How about it?"
Gai Yue smiled slightly, "You're lucky, kid. There are three Mirror Beast there, one with over 15,000 years of cultivation, one with 25,000 years of cultivation, and one with 30,000 years of cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Oscar Shi Xing: "This is simply tailor-made for me! That 30,000-year-old Mirror Beast is exactly my current limit, so using it as my Fourth Spirit Ring is perfect."
Gai Yue smiled and nodded, "That's right. You guys rest for a bit today, and we'll set off tomorrow to finalize your Fourth Spirit Ring."
As Gai Yue spoke, he looked at Dugu Yan and asked, "Where's Yan Yan? After consuming the Immortal Herb, her Soul Power should have reached level 40, right? Is there any Soul Ring she wants?"
Dugu Yan smiled slightly upon hearing this, and then the excitement on her face reappeared. She explained to Gai Yue, "Teacher, my gains this time are simply too great. Breaking through my Soul Power is just the most ordinary improvement."
Afterwards, Dugu Yan told Gai Yue about her Martial Soul Evolution and changes in Soul Skill. Gai Yue was incredulous after listening to her, and then said, "Not bad, it seems you can protect Xiao Ao well from now on."
Upon hearing this, Oscar objected. "Teacher, what are you saying! My sister is my woman, shouldn't I be the one protecting her? Besides, I just sparred with her, and I still won."
Upon hearing this, Gai Yue simply smiled and didn't say anything more. After all, it was a matter between the young couple, and he was just casually praising them.
But to be honest, Dugu Yan's gains this time were definitely the greatest, since her Martial Soul Evolution into a dragon, which directly raised Dugu Yan's talent to a whole new level.
Now, Dugu Yan no longer has to worry about being left behind by Oscar, which is the best thing for the young couple.
Then Dugu Yan continued, "I had a target for my Fourth Spirit Ring before, because Xiao Ao researched a lot of information and identified several good options for me. However, now that my Martial Soul has evolved, I need to re-plan my choices."
Hearing this, Gai Yue nodded and then said, "Let's not rush the matter of the Soul Ring. We'll make a decision after we've determined our target."
Dugu Yan nodded, then looked at Oscar. Oscar thought for a moment and said, "Although your Martial Soul has evolved, it still retains the ability of poison. There are indeed several Soul Beasts in the Extreme North that are suitable for you. I will make some plans for you in the next two days and try to see if we can find a suitable Soul Ring for you in the Extreme North."
Hearing this, Dugu Yan smiled slightly, "Hehe, then thank you for your hard work."
Oscar squeezed Dugu Yan's hand. "What's so hard about it? The Soul Ring for each advancement of Soul Master are of utmost importance, and we absolutely cannot be perfunctory about them."
Dugu Yan smiled sweetly, feeling extremely happy. Gai Yue watched from the side, a smile also appearing on his face.
After chatting for a while, Oscar went into the cabin, took out the ingredients from his Soul Tool, and started cooking. After the meal, the three of them each found a room to cultivate.
Oscar, on the other hand, was choosing a target for Dugu Yan's Fourth Spirit Ring, striving to maximize the evolution of her Martial Soul.
The next morning, after breakfast, the three set off for the canyon that Gai Yue had mentioned, to hunt down Oscar's Fourth Spirit Ring.
It took Oscar and Dugu Yan two hours to reach the canyon where the three Mirror Beasts were located, following Gai Yue. Oscar and Dugu Yan found a relatively safe place to stop, Gai Yue went to capture the 30,000-year-old Mirror Beast for Oscar.
This is the advantage of having someone behind you. When hunting for Soul Ring, you only need to choose the right target, and you don't need to worry about anything else.
Mirror Beast are also a top-tier type of Soul Beast. Not only are they extremely rare, but their abilities are also incredibly versatile in the Soul Beast Realm. In fact, because Mirror Beast are so disgusting and powerful, most Soul Beast will not allow Mirror Beast to grow up.
Therefore, Mirror Beast have almost never appeared in the Soul Beast Realm at the Hundred Thousand Year Level.
Among the most powerful and disgusting abilities of the Mirror Beast are its ability to create clones and its ability to copy.
The ability to create clones allows the user to unleash power greater than the sum of its parts, making it capable of fighting multiple opponents simultaneously.
The ability to copy is to replicate the opponent's abilities, or even to transform into the opponent directly. These two terrifying abilities made the Mirror Beast the common enemy of most Soul Beast.
After all, if such an existence were to grow, it would be a nightmare for the entire Soul Beast Realm.
The reason why Oscar was able to possess combat power comparable to Assault System Spirit Master in the later stages of the original work and was able to protect Ning Rongrong was because his Sixth Spirit Ring absorbed a Mirror Beast that was over 20,000 years old, and gained the skill of copying.
Although Oscar is only level 40 now, his Spiritual Power and physical fitness have reached the Soul Emperor level, making him fully capable of absorbing a 30,000-year-old Mirror Beast.
Moreover, Oscar himself was certain that with the Soul Ring he absorbed at such a high level, its effect would definitely be greater than that of himself in the original work; however, the specifics would depend on the actual situation at the time.
Thinking this, Gai Yue had already brought a Mirror Beast that was over five meters long to the place where Oscar and Dugu Yan were hiding.
This Mirror Beast's cultivation level was exactly at the 30,000-year level. Its entire body was like a beautiful crystal. However, at this moment, all the bones of this Mirror Beast were shattered, and it was being dragged by Gai Yue like a dead dog.
It must be said that although the Mirror Beast was powerful, its 30,000-year level was even enough to compete with Soul Beast of 50,000 years or more, but it encountered Gai Yue, a Soul Douluo powerhouse with Soul Power of 88 and strength comparable to Titled Douluo.
Gai Yue tossed the Mirror Beast in front of Oscar, then calmly said, "Xiao Ao, deal with this Mirror Beast."
After a pause, Gai Yue reminded him, "Although I know you can absorb Soul Ring beyond your level, this Mirror Beast is already comparable to Soul Emperor. If things are not going to work out, you should act according to your abilities."
Oscar nodded solemnly upon hearing this. "I understand, teacher. I value my life the most and won't be reckless. If we can't absorb this Mirror Beast, there are still two more in the canyon."
Upon hearing this, the Mirror Beast, which had been utterly despondent, suddenly widened its eyes, then closed them as if having made up its mind, no longer harboring any thought of resistance...
