Douluo: The System Arrived Ten Thousand Years Early, and I Crushed Tang San

Dragon Duke glanced faintly at Flender. Wasn't that basically telling him not to snatch anyone?

Heh heh.

Just then, Oscar finally finished absorbing his Third Soul Ring. He jumped up with a delighted smile, his Peach Blossom Eyes brimming with joy.

"Oscar, what effect does your third soul skill have? Hurry up and tell us."

Zhao Wuji threw an arm around Oscar's shoulders.

Because of the difference in their heights, Oscar had to bend over, making the sight rather comical.

"Cough, cough, Teacher Zhao, maybe I shouldn't say it?"

Oscar looked around, speaking somewhat awkwardly.

The Soul Incantation and physical motions required to use his soul skill would seem rather...

Even with his thick skin, he could not quite take it.

After all, Meng Yiran was still a beauty.

Wouldn't that ruin her impression of him?

Oscar wore a bitter expression.

"Xiao Ao, it's fine. Just say it. We won't laugh at you, really! Whoever laughs at you, I'll be the first to break his legs!"

Dai Mubai suppressed the laughter in his heart and pounded his chest as he made his promise.

Ma Hongjun chimed in as well. "Yeah, yeah, Xiao Ao. Hurry up and satisfy our curiosity. What exactly does your third soul skill do?"

Yu Xiaogang said calmly, "Oscar, stop keeping us in suspense. Just say it."

Yu Xiaogang also glanced at Dragon Duke and Snake Crone.

Normally, the effects of soul skills were only known to those who were relatively close. But once this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest was over, they would most likely have nothing to do with Dragon Duke and Snake Crone anymore, so it did not matter.

He also wanted to know whether Oscar's third soul skill was as he had guessed: a speed-enhancing soul skill or a flying soul skill.

Naturally, he hoped for the latter.

Seeing how insistent everyone was, Oscar took a deep breath. "Boss Dai, you really can't laugh later. If anyone laughs, beat him up for me!"

Dai Mubai said, "Yeah, yeah, hurry up!"

Then, Oscar's third Thousand Year Soul Ring slowly rose from his body as he recited the Soul Incantation, "I, your father, have a Mushroom Sausage!"

Meng Yiran: ???

Then, a large brown sausage with a mushroom-shaped top appeared in Oscar's hand.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

"Ahahahaha!"

Dai Mubai placed his left hand over his chest and wiped tears from the corners of his eyes with his right as he burst out laughing.

"X-Xiao Ao, I really didn't mean to. I just didn't expect your Soul Incantation to still be as indecent as ever!"

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone present, whether Ma Hongjun, Zhao Wuji, or the others, could not help but laugh.

The three girls had long anticipated this, though complicated emotions swirled in their hearts.

Disgusting... funny... curious... and so on.

"Boss Dai! You liar!"

Oscar flew into a rage and moved to grab Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai merely went through the motions, and the two ran circles around Flender.

"Enough. Hurry up and tell us what your third soul skill does!"

Flender grabbed Oscar by the collar and stopped him.

Oscar snorted twice and said proudly, "Don't judge my Soul Incantation by how it sounds. The effect of my third soul skill is extremely powerful!"

Yu Xiaogang said, "Seeing how confident you are, your third soul skill should be related to flight, right?"

Yu Xiaogang saw right through him.

Oscar's Third Soul Skill's Shine Was Shattered by Xiao Tian

Oscar's expression stiffened slightly as he looked at Yu Xiaogang resentfully. "Master, you can't do that! I wanted to keep everyone guessing."

Then, Oscar said somewhat dejectedly, "My third soul skill is called Speedy Flying Mushroom Sausage. After consuming it, you can fly for one minute."

"What? Only one minute? Just as short as you?"

Ma Hongjun said in great surprise.

Dai Mubai also waved his hand helplessly and shook his head. "Xiao Ao, I thought it would be some incredible soul skill. It only lasts one minute. What use is that? You probably couldn't even fly across a slightly wider river."

Yu Xiaogang was also full of doubt. That should not be the case. Was the soul skill granted by a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent really so useless?

Oscar secretly glanced at the girls' reactions and chuckled inwardly. When he felt the timing was right, he cleared his throat heavily twice. "What if you fly for one minute at the speed of a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent?"

As Oscar spoke, his Peach Blossom Eyes flicked toward Ning Rongrong.

Oscar: See that? This is the soul skill of a Food System Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power. Impressive, right?

To be honest, Ning Rongrong truly was shocked. The speed of a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent was among the best of Thousand Year soul beasts, even surpassing some Ten Thousand Year soul beasts.

The fact that the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent had escaped the joint attack of Dragon Duke and Snake Crone was proof enough.

Of course, that was also because the two had been careless and deliberately held back their strength.

After all, if they hit too hard, Meng Yiran would have been unable to absorb that Soul Ring.

"Fatso, do you still think it's short now?"

Oscar looked at Ma Hongjun arrogantly, immensely proud of his soul skill.

Ma Hongjun was somewhat tempted as well. Although his martial soul was a phoenix, he did not yet possess the ability to fly. But now, as long as he ate Oscar's sausage, he could fly!

Still, he stubbornly said, "Hmph, even if it flies fast, that doesn't change the fact that you're short. Why don't we find some time to compare?!"

"Pah, Fatso, I'm not comparing with you!"

Oscar retorted.

The vulgar remarks between the two made the girls frown.

"Hahaha, Oscar, your third soul skill really is quite good! This trip was not in vain."

Zhao Wuji gave him a heavy pat on the back, then asked, "With your current Soul Power, how many of these sausages can you make at once?"

Oscar estimated briefly, then held up his fingers. "About ten."

Zhao Wuji chuckled. "Ten is not bad. Once your strength improves in the future, you'll be able to make even more."

"Brother, what do you think of Oscar's third soul skill? Is it powerful?"

Xiao Wu asked curiously. She wanted to know how Xiao Tian viewed Oscar's soul skill.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Tian said, "Mm... for the current stage, it's quite good."

Xiao Wu nodded, while Ning Rongrong beside them happened to hear Xiao Tian's words.

Moreover, she caught the implication behind them.

He had emphasized the current stage!

Ning Rongrong moved a little closer to Xiao Tian and asked, "Xiao Tian, do you have some other opinion about this soul skill? Is it not strong? Why did you say 'for the current stage'?"

Everyone present was no weakling. Although Ning Rongrong had intentionally lowered her voice, the group was not standing far apart, so Flender and the several Soul Sages and Soul Douluos heard her.

"Xiao Tian, what do you mean by that?" Flender frowned. Was this guy about to stir up trouble again?

"Nothing, it doesn't mean anything. Don't worry about it. Xiao Ao's Flying Mushroom Sausage is indeed very powerful and quite helpful to us at this stage."

Xiao Tian did not want to dwell on this matter. He might as well let them continue being happy.

Oscar had finally gotten a chance to show off. When he heard Xiao Tian say that, he immediately felt dissatisfied and stared at him. "Xiao Tian, just say whatever you want to say. Aren't you a Sword Cultivator? Sword Cultivators should be fearless and press forward without hesitation, right?"

Oscar wanted to see what Xiao Tian could possibly say.

This was a flying soul skill!

Did he understand how valuable a flying soul skill was?

Xiao Tian shook his head helplessly. You asked me to say it. He had not intended to crush Oscar's confidence just yet.

Otherwise, would he not seem terribly wicked for saying something so ill-timed?

Heh heh.

"Oscar, your Flying Mushroom Sausage is indeed very strong at the current stage. But in terms of growth potential, it actually cannot compare to your first soul skill, Super Recovery Great Sausage!"

Oscar frowned. "What do you mean? This is a Thousand Year soul skill. How could it lose to a Hundred Year soul skill?"

Xiao Tian said, "You said it yourself just now. Your third soul skill only lets you fly at the speed of a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent for one minute. That can indeed greatly increase our Combat Power right now, but what about later? When we all become Soul Sages and Soul Douluos, will this Flying Mushroom Sausage still be useful?"

"Your third soul skill has no growth potential. Even if you become a Soul Sage, Soul Douluo, or even a Titled Douluo in the future, your third soul skill will still only let you fly at the speed of a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent for one minute!"

"Although the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent is incredibly fast and among the best Thousand Year soul beasts, it is still only a Thousand Year soul beast! For example, once Fatty gains a flying soul skill and reaches Soul Emperor level, perhaps even before that, he won't need to eat your Flying Mushroom Sausage anymore!"

"Do you understand now? Your Mushroom Sausage will not remain as useful in the later stages as your Recovery Great Sausage."

Seeing Oscar's face turn increasingly pale and the atmosphere around them grow heavy, Xiao Tian paused slightly before adding, "Of course, it's too early to be thinking about this now. Perhaps there will be some other way to change the effect of soul skills in the future? For example, when you become a Soul Sage..."

Xiao Tian was not wrong. In the original story, when Oscar became a Soul Sage, he obtained his seventh soul skill, Tough Golden Fly. After consuming it himself, the effects of the sausages he made increased by thirty percent.

Converted over, his third soul skill would go from one minute to one minute and eighteen seconds.

Mm... that still counted as an improvement.

It was just that, as a Food System Soul Master, having a fly-shaped edible item as his seventh soul skill was strange no matter how one looked at it.

And the Soul Incantation was: Tough! Tough! Golden Fly!

Hahaha, that Soul Incantation was incredibly lewd too!

After Xiao Tian's explanation, everyone's rosy impression of Oscar's third soul skill was shattered.

Did Xiao Tian make sense?

No one present was foolish. Even though Xiao Tian later comforted him by saying it was still too early to consider such things...

Divine Officials Da Ming and Er Ming?

"All right, all right. It is indeed too far away to discuss these things now. What cannot be denied is that Xiao Ao's current flying soul skill is already top-grade among Food System Soul Masters.

Many Food System Soul Masters do not gain a soul skill that allows others to fly until after becoming Soul Kings."

Flender patted Oscar on the back in consolation.

Xiao Tian smiled and nodded as well. He did not want to say anything more. Could they not see that Oscar's confidence was nearly shattered?

If he added that the later one obtained a flying soul skill, the better it was, because flying soul skills obtained then would already come from Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings...

And if that Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring came from a speed-type Ten Thousand Year soul beast, such as bird-type soul beasts like the Swift Swallow, then the flight enhancement granted to a Soul Master would be impossible to estimate.

That enhanced flying speed would likely be beyond the reach of even ordinary Titled Douluos. Only agility-attack Titled Douluos or Titled Douluos with special soul skills might have a chance.

That thought suddenly surfaced in Xiao Tian's mind, and he shook his head.

Flying soul skills had nothing to do with him. There was no need for him to think so deeply about them.

After all, he was a man with a flying Soul Bone!

Moreover, once his strength improved, Sword Control Flight enhanced by Sword Intent would not only look cool, but also be incredibly fast!

Then, under Flender's lead, they once again set off in search of a Thousand Year soul beast.
