Appearance
Oscar initially conceals his appearance beneath a full beard, causing Tang San to mistake him for a middle-aged local vendor. After shaving, he appears as a handsome young man with a romantic, self-satisfied bearing. 85 103
- Fair, jade-like complexion. 103
- Deep-set peach-blossom eyes. 103
- Soft voice, contrasting with his initially rough and burly appearance. 85
- Often adopts flamboyant poses after shaving his beard. 103
- Walks with a limp following the loss and subsequent treatment of his right leg. 171
Personality
Oscar is vain, lecherous, and highly conscious of appearance and status. He repeatedly pursues female students despite their disgust and rejection, assuming that his looks, talent, or potential wealth will win their favor. His suggestive soul incantation is portrayed as reflecting his subconscious thoughts and character. 88 103 107
He is also materialistic and ambitious. He looks forward to increased Spirit Hall subsidies after advancing, wants to become a noble through imperial registration, and views marriage to Ning Rongrong as a route to wealth and influence. 129 172
Despite his arrogance, Oscar is physically vulnerable and easily intimidated by stronger peers. After Tang San beats him, he fears him; Dai Mubai similarly threatens and humiliates him. His forced absorption of a low-age third Soul Ring leaves him bitter toward Shi Nian, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Zhao Wuji, and Flender, though he keeps much of that resentment to himself. 85 87 176 177
Abilities & Skills
Sausage Martial Soul
Oscar possesses a food-type martial soul that creates edible sausages through soul incantations. His unusual Innate Full Soul Power makes him an exceptionally rare auxiliary Soul Master. 88 188 189
- Can produce sausages for sustenance and stamina recovery during travel. 121
- His sausages allow Tang San and Ma Hongjun to keep pace during the journey to the Star Dou Great Forest. 121
- His food-type nature led to his admission to Shrek Academy as a student with an unusual martial soul. 88
- His incantation for producing a large sausage is: “I, your father, have a big sausage.” 88
- His reliance on sausage production does not compensate for his poor physical endurance. 121
Little Spicy Sausage
Oscar's third soul skill, gained from a roughly 400-year Little Death Pepper Soul Ring, produces a red sausage resembling a chili pepper. 176
- Increases the consumer's attack and defense by 10%. 176
- Its duration varies according to Oscar's strength and the consumer's strength; for a Soul Elder at Oscar's current level, it lasts about three minutes. 176
- Causes intense spiciness, pain, and swelling when eaten. 176
- Leaves the consumer temporarily weakened after the enhancement ends. 176
- Oscar considers it inferior to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support effects. 176
History
Oscar was admitted to Shrek Academy because of his unusual food-type martial soul and Innate Full Soul Power. Dai Mubai later explains that candidates with exceptionally strange martial souls could be accepted despite ordinary standards. 88
When Tang San and the others arrive for the academy entrance examination, Oscar sells sausages near the queue and openly leers at Xiao Wu and the Zhu sisters. Tang San attacks him with Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, repeatedly slamming him into the ground until Oscar begs for mercy. 85 He is subsequently ordered to guide the successful candidates to the fourth examination round while still injured and limping. 86
Dai Mubai forces Oscar to reveal his sausage-making incantation before the girls, humiliating him and exposing the lewd wording behind his martial soul. 87 88 Oscar later shaves off his beard and becomes convinced that his appearance will attract the new female students, but Ning Rongrong and the Zhu sisters find him effeminate and irritating. 103
While assigned to run twenty laps with Ning Rongrong, Oscar attempts to use sausages to pressure her into accepting his help. Ning Rongrong strikes him in the crotch and completes the task alone; Oscar fails to complete even a third of the required distance. 110 111
Oscar initially seeks a thousand-year third Soul Ring from a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, but the attempt fails after Serpent Grandmother contests Shrek's claim. 134 139 Later, Zhu Huang manipulates the serpent into attacking Oscar, tearing off his right leg. 140 He recovers from the injury but retains a limp. 171
On a second attempt to gain a third Soul Ring, Oscar kills a Death Pepper tree. Shi Nian manipulates its blood to poison Oscar with lethal chili toxin. Unable to safely absorb the approximately 1,400-year ring while poisoned, Oscar is forced to absorb a roughly 400-year Little Death Pepper Soul Ring to survive. 173 174 175 176 The ring neutralizes the poison and advances him to level 31, but Oscar believes its low age has permanently diminished his future potential. 176

- Shi Nian — Canghui Academy vice dean whose retaliation poisons Oscar and forces him into accepting a low-age third Soul Ring. 173 176
Trivia
- Oscar's level-30 breakthrough would have raised his monthly Spirit Hall subsidy from ten Gold Soul Coins to one hundred. 129

- Flender regards Oscar as a genius whose rarity could eventually challenge the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's position among auxiliary Soul Masters, while Yu Xiaogang dismisses this assessment because Oscar is food-type. 188 189
