Oscar continued, "The second effect Body Transformation: the user can change their appearance, physique, voice, and even aura, completely transforming into the likeness of a person or Soul Beast they have seen in their memories. However, it cannot Simulation the target's Martial Soul, Soul Skill, special abilities, or other core strengths."
At the same time, the user's mental strength will be increased by 20%. This effect is mainly used for deception, infiltration, reconnaissance, or evading pursuit.
Unless one is at the level of Titled Douluo or possesses mental strength three levels higher than mine, they cannot see through it.
The illusion lasts for twelve hours, and the duration can be increased as my mental strength improves.
After hearing Oscar's description, everyone fell into a brief silence, then their eyes lit up with an amazing light.
This hardly resembles a traditional Food System Soul Skill! It's clearly a wondrous ability that touches the very edge of the rules of "creation"!
The first effect is equivalent to a temporary, high-quality "creator," which can turn the tide when the team lacks specific equipment, weapons, or needs special tools.
The second effect is an incredible skill for spies, assassins, and scouts; when used properly, its strategic value is immeasurable!
"Excellent! What a brilliant ' Heaven and Earth Creation Sausage '!" Tang Feng patted Oscar's shoulder forcefully and laughed heartily. " Little Ao, your Fourth Soul Skill is enough to transform you completely! This trip to the Star Dou Great Forest was totally worth it!"
Zhu Zhuqing and Tang Lie also congratulated Oscar. Oscar scratched his head, grinning from ear to ear. He knew that from this moment on, his life trajectory had truly been completely changed.
Oscar held the shimmering " Heaven and Earth Creation Sausage Intestine" in his hand, feeling the strange power it contained, which seemed to touch some essential rule of the world, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
Oscar stepped forward and bowed deeply and earnestly to Tang Feng: " Brother Feng... thank you! Really, without you, I'd probably still be just an ordinary Food System Soul Master at the Shrek Academy, needing constant protection and cautiously hiding in the back. You showed me just how vast this world truly is, and gave me the possibility and direction to become stronger."
Oscar's words were incredibly sincere, without the slightest embellishment, and his tone was frank.
Tang Feng was naturally pleased to see Oscar's serious demeanor, but Tang Feng wasn't used to such overly formal occasions.
Tang Feng stepped forward and helped Oscar up, a casual smile on his face.
"Alright, alright, your talent and hard work are what truly matter. I was just pointing you in the right direction."
Tang Feng patted Oscar on the shoulder. "Think it through carefully, practice hard, and make it shine on the field, on the real battlefield!"
Oscar nodded emphatically and grinned, "Yeah! Brother Feng, I definitely won't let you down!"
"That's right!" Tang Feng nodded in satisfaction, then said, "Alright, we've achieved all our objectives for this trip, and the gains have far exceeded our expectations. We shouldn't linger here. Your academy's advancement competition starts in three or four days. Let's set off immediately and return at full speed, straight back to Heaven Dou City!"
"Okay!" Oscar replied, his spirits high and his eyes filled with boundless anticipation for the future.
Tang Lie released his Soul Power again, taking Oscar into the air first. Tang Feng's Blood Flame Dragon Wings also unfolded again. He looked at Zhu Zhuqing. This time, Zhu Zhuqing's movements were more natural. Without saying a word, she landed lightly beside Tang Feng Tang Feng and reached out to support his arm.
The two streaks of light no longer moved as swiftly as they had before, but instead streaked across the sky at a more steady speed, flying towards the direction of Heaven Dou City.
With no need to rush on the return journey, everyone felt much more relaxed. They even stopped briefly at a scenic mountain peak to eat some dry rations and rest.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the following day that the familiar outline of Heaven Dou City appeared on the horizon.
To avoid attracting unnecessary attention, the four did not fly directly into the city, but instead quietly landed on a deserted mountain outside the city.
After retracting his Flame Dragon Wings and settling onto solid ground, Tang Feng looked at Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar, his expression turning serious once more. Tang Feng first turned to Zhu Zhuqing, his gaze lingering on her cool yet beautiful face, his tone gentle yet solemn:
" Zhu Zhuqing, we're about to return to the Shrek Academy. It might sound a bit repetitive, but I have to remind you again,"
Tang Feng paused deliberately, "Absolutely, absolutely do not reveal your External Soul Bone to anyone. Human hearts are unpredictable; even your teachers and classmates may not be able to maintain composure in the face of immense temptation."
Zhu Zhuqing met Tang Feng's concerned and serious gaze. She didn't feel that Tang Feng was nagging at all. Instead, she felt a heavy sense of being cherished and protected.
A hint of warmth flickered in her cool eyes. She nodded solemnly, her voice clear and firm. "Yes, don't worry. I understand the implications and will never show it to anyone."
"Hmm," Tang Feng's expression softened, and his tone became gentler. "Also, if you encounter any difficulties or troubles that you can't solve on your own, don't try to handle it alone. Remember, you can always come to me, or try to send me a message."
This undisguised concern made Zhu Zhuqing's heart flutter slightly.
Zhu Zhuqing felt her cheeks burning and quickly lowered her head, avoiding Tang Feng's gaze. Her long eyelashes drooped as she softly replied, "I understand."
The voice was much softer than usual, with a hint of barely perceptible shyness.
Tang Feng then turned to Oscar, who had been listening intently, a smile on his face, but his eyes were equally serious. " Little Ao, your ' Heaven and Earth Creation Sausage ' has limitless potential, but the key lies in how you use it. It's ever-changing, with no fixed pattern; it all depends on your imagination and creativity."
Tang Feng gave an example. "For instance, you can use it to temporarily create a ' Golden Cudgel ' to fight, making up for the lack of self-defense ability of Food System Soul Master; you can also use two Creation Sausage consecutively, one to change your appearance to Simulation someone, and the other to simultaneously create a device similar to their Tool Martial Soul. Such double disguise is extremely deceptive. Even in teamwork, you can provide your teammates with the most urgently needed temporary equipment, or create perfect disguises for tactical deception. These are all waiting for you to explore and combine."
Oscar's eyes lit up; he felt as if a completely new door had opened before him, and his mind cleared. Oscar nodded vigorously, excitedly and solemnly saying, "I understand, Brother Feng! I will definitely study hard and practice diligently, and I will not waste this opportunity!"
Seeing that the two had taken his words to heart, Tang Feng felt at ease. He said no more and, together with Tang Lie, accompanied Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar, walking towards the Shrek Academy.
Soon, the academy gates came into view. Students and guards were still coming and going, and everything seemed the same as when they left. But the two who returned had been completely transformed.
Under the shade of a tree in front of the academy gate, Tang Feng stopped, his gaze sweeping over Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar, and gave his final instructions. "Let me say one last thing. The Soul Master Tournament, in the end, is just a platform for you to showcase yourselves and exchange skills with your peers. It's right to go all out for victory, but don't let it become a burden, and certainly don't risk your lives for the sake of winning or losing. No matter the final result, whether you win or lose, my grandfather, everyone else, and I all hope you can return safely. That's more important than any championship trophy."
"We'll remember, Brother Feng." The two said in unison, their eyes filled with reluctance.
"Go ahead." Tang Feng smiled and waved.
Zhu Zhuqing gave Tang Feng Tang Feng a deep look, as if trying to etch his image into her heart, before resolutely turning around and walking firmly toward the academy gate. Her aloof figure quickly disappeared inside the gate.
Oscar waved vigorously to Tang Feng and Tang Lie, then turned and jogged after them, his face filled with boundless anticipation and enthusiasm for the future.
Watching the two figures disappear completely, the grandfather and grandson also quickly vanished into the street.
