Oscar's Excitement

"Wait, we agreed not to hit people! Besides, I had no choice!

When a Food-Type Martial Soul is used, different soul incantations have to be paired with it to make the food change. That sentence was an incantation, not something I wanted to shout.

Besides, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the quality of the sausages I make!"

Seeing Xiao Wu raise her fist, Oscar's scalp went numb, and he hurriedly explained himself.

"Get lost! Keep something that disgusting and eat it yourself!"

Xiao Wu ignored Oscar's explanation and said with a look of disgust, though she did lower her raised fist.

"Ah, I knew it would be like this. My poor delicious sausages, and no one wants to eat them!"

Oscar took a vicious bite out of the Large Sausage, mourning its fate. The fine steed was here, but where was its discerning master?

"Oscar, it might not be impossible for you to use your soul skill without reciting the incantation."

Ye Chen said something to Oscar.

"Really? If you can truly solve this problem, then from now on, if Chen Ge tells me to go east, I'll never go west."

Oscar's eyes immediately lit up, and he patted his chest as he made the promise to Ye Chen.

Oscar himself was also thoroughly disgusted by the incantations for his soul skills, but what could he do?

As a Soul Master, he couldn't avoid using soul skills. If he could truly skip those bizarre incantations, then acknowledging Ye Chen as his boss would be no problem.

"The reason you have to recite incantations is because your control over Soul Power isn't good enough. If your Soul Power control were strong enough, you probably wouldn't need to recite them at all—or you could just say them silently in your mind."

Ye Chen guessed that Oscar's bizarre soul skill incantations were probably similar to the spell chants used by mages in Western fantasy novels. As long as he mastered them well enough, he would most likely be able to cast them without speaking, or by silently chanting them in his mind.

"Is that true?"

Oscar was somewhat uncertain.

"Probably. I don't know either, since I'm not a Food System Soul Master."

"..."

Oscar was speechless, but whether Ye Chen was right or not, he intended to give it a try.

Though he couldn't be completely sure, there was at least a chance, wasn't there?

"Right, my Martial Soul is sausage, and my Soul Power rank is level 27, Great Soul Master. What are your Martial Souls? What are your Soul Power ranks?"

Oscar suddenly remembered that he still didn't know their Martial Souls or Soul Power ranks.

"Martial Soul: Soft Bone Rabbit. Level 46 Power Attack System Soul Elder."

"Martial Soul: Black Jade Divine Bamboo Staff. Level 45 Control System Soul Elder."

Ye Chen and Xiao Wu released their Martial Souls, and two yellow and two purple soul rings each bloomed around their bodies, disguised as before.

"F-Four-Ring Soul Elders?!"

Oscar immediately cried out in shock. He had never expected these two, who looked even younger than him, to already be Four-Ring Soul Elders—and not newly advanced ones at that, but level 45 and level 46.

"No wonder Dai Mubai wasn't a match for you. Chen Ge, Sister Xiao Wu, is it too late for me to latch onto you?"

Oscar's first reaction was shock. His second was to cling to their thighs.

These were two thick thighs! They were guaranteed to become Titled Douluo in the future. As a weak Support-Type Soul Master, he had to cling to them for dear life!

"Get lost. Sister Xiao Wu's thigh isn't for you to cling to!"

Xiao Wu curled her lips.

"...Sister Xiao Wu, I'm a Food System Soul Master. I don't have much combat power, so all I can do is cling to someone stronger."

Oscar said pitifully.

To be honest, anyone would be happy to have a Food System Soul Master or Support-Type Soul Master as a teammate. But if they were the one playing that role, it was another matter.

Although Food System and Support-Type Soul Masters might hold relatively higher status among Soul Masters of the same rank, they really had little combat strength, and their safety wasn't guaranteed.

That was also one of the sect rules of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect: the spouses of direct-line Support-Type disciples had to possess combat ability.

"Actually, Food System Soul Masters can have powerful combat strength too."

Rubbing his chin, Ye Chen said this.

"Seriously?"

Oscar froze for a moment.

"If you managed to get a full set of six 100,000 Year Soul Bones, that would be equivalent to having twelve 100,000 Year Soul Bone Skills. You'd have more soul skills than an ordinary Titled Douluo, and your combat power would definitely surpass War Soul Masters of the same rank."

"...That's the same as saying nothing! Ordinary soul bones are already precious treasures, let alone a full set of 100,000 Year Soul Bones."

Oscar rolled his eyes. As if he could gather six 100,000 Year Soul Bones? Even if he were drunk out of his mind, he wouldn't dare dream like that~

"Besides soul bones, there's another way!"

"Oh? Let's hear it~"

"As far as I know, there's a type of soul beast in this world called a Mirror Image Beast. Its Innate Soul Skill allows it to copy an opponent's soul skills.

If you attach a Mirror Image Beast soul ring in the future, there's a chance you might gain a Copy Sausage."

Oscar had done exactly this in the original story.

Ye Chen did not dislike Oscar as a character. Although his soul skills were somewhat indecent, Oscar's character was still quite good, so Ye Chen told him.

"Really?"

Oscar was excited. Every support had the heart of a damage dealer.

Moreover, unlike supports in games, where many could both fight and assist, Support-Type Soul Masters on Douluo Continent could basically only serve as pure support without Soul Bones.

"Why would I lie to you? But it's best if the Mirror Image Beast is of a higher age. If its age is too low, you might not gain a copy-type soul skill at all, or the effect of the copy skill might be very poor."

For soul rings of the same type, the soul skills gained from higher-age ones would certainly be more effective than those from lower-age ones.

If Oscar absorbed a Mirror Image Beast soul ring early on, setting aside whether he would gain a copy-type soul skill like in the original story, even if he did obtain it, the percentage of the target's strength that the Copy Sausage could replicate would definitely be lower.

"Haha, that's great! I'll definitely become a Food System Soul Master with combat power!"

Oscar was incredibly excited. No one would not want to possess great strength, especially a Soul Master with outstanding talent like him.

He was not one of those Food System Soul Masters with poor talent and limited future achievements. He was a Food System Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power, practically guaranteed to become a Food System Titled Douluo in the future. But if he truly became a Titled Douluo with no combat ability whatsoever, how tragic would that be?

"Oscar, does the academy have a cafeteria?"

It was about time for lunch, and Ye Chen was considering how to deal with his midday meal.

"It does, but the food..."

Oscar did not continue. In his view, rather than eating the food from Shrek Academy's cafeteria, he might as well chew on a few of his own recovery Large Sausages!

At the very least, his recovery Large Sausages tasted like meat, didn't they?
