Chapter 1: I'm Oscar
In the Tian Dou Empire, within the Balaka Kingdom, stood Shrek Academy.
Shrek Academy was very poor. The entire academy was established by taking over half a village, making it incomparable to other advanced Soul Master academies.
However, this small academy housed several powerful Soul Masters, with the weakest being of the Soul Emperor rank.
A Soul Emperor level expert was already a highly valued guest in many major forces, yet this shabby Shrek Academy actually gathered several of them.
The academy's dean, Flender, was a genuine Soul Saint with a Soul Power of level 75. The vice principal, Zhao Wuji, was also a Soul Saint at level 73, and the other teachers all had cultivation levels above Soul Emperor.
Besides the teachers, Shrek Academy had once again welcomed a new student. His name was Oscar, a student personally brought back by Flender.
Most importantly, Oscar was a food-type Soul Master with innate full Soul Power, and his martial soul was the Royal Sausage.
That was innate full Soul Power, and it was food-type innate full Soul Power. This had never appeared in Soul Master history, as auxiliary-type Soul Masters were difficult to cultivate.
Among auxiliary types, food-type Soul Masters were even harder to cultivate, so what innate full Soul Power represented was self-evident.
Moreover, Oscar's enrollment reopened the academy after the previous class graduated. It could be said that Oscar was the big boss of this class, since he was currently the only student at Shrek Academy.
In the dormitory area of Shrek Academy, a small boy with silver short hair was in a large room alone. The boy leaned by the window, gazing thoughtfully at the dense forest outside.
The boy was named Oscar, currently the only student at Shrek Academy, treasured by all the teachers.
At this moment, Oscar's handsome face was filled with excitement and agitation as he stared out the window, unable to calm down for a long time... because he had transmigrated!
That's right, this Oscar was no longer the original Oscar. Some bored deity had caused the Oscar who was originally watching dramas on Blue Star to transmigrate and become a member of the main character group.
While watching the anime, Oscar had seen many fellow fans analyze it, saying that among the Shrek Seven Devils, besides the overpowered Tang San and the little who had cultivated from a soul beast, if there were no divine-grade medicinal herbs, Oscar might be the only one who could reach Title Douluo rank.
Now, Oscar had become that widely discussed character. Fortunately, he had just awakened his martial soul, and everything was just beginning.
Beyond excitement and agitation, scenes from the original work surfaced in Oscar's mind as he searched for some golden advantages of his own.
Because he had only transmigrated with his soul, there were no other external advantages. He didn't know what that idle, big-footed man was thinking—transmigrating without giving any cheats?
The only thing that might give Oscar some advantage was his current powerful soul power, or spiritual power.
Generally, a Soul Master needed to reach the Soul King realm to use spiritual power, but Oscar could already do so now. His spiritual power was about at the Soul Elder level.
However, this still couldn't compare to others' cheats. At most, it just made his thinking and reactions sharper. After all, Oscar was just an auxiliary-type Soul Master. Even though he had powerful combat abilities in the later parts of the original story, that was in the future.
What reassured Oscar was that even if he remained mediocre and followed the original development, he could still achieve a godhood in the end. This was quite comforting, since the worst he would be in the future was still a god.
However, Oscar naturally wasn't content with such a mediocre fate. After all, he had the foresight of a god's perspective. Even if he couldn't be the leader, he shouldn't have to be someone else's subordinate for the rest of his life.
Looking at the glaring sunlight outside the window, Oscar's blood began to boil. Since he was here, he would make a huge impact. In this life, he would be someone who could do whatever he wanted.
Oscar himself had innate full Soul Power, so he only needed to obtain a soul ring to become a Soul Master. Therefore, Oscar had carefully planned his soul skills.
After careful consideration, Oscar felt his soul skills could be similar to those in the original work because those skills were very practical and powerful. The only thing Oscar found lacking was the lack of offensive abilities in the early stages.
But since he was now at Shrek Academy, Oscar wasn't worried about lacking offensive means in the future. After all, although Tang San wasn't good to outsiders, he was impeccable to friends. Surely he wouldn't be stingy with those hidden weapons.
However, Oscar also clearly understood the importance of his own physical strength. For example, in the original work, Oscar copied Tang San's twin martial souls but couldn't use the Haotian Hammer. Why? Because his physical fitness wasn't up to par.
Therefore, Oscar wouldn't neglect his own training, also to avoid being unable to use others' martial souls when copying them in the future, since in the original work, he could fully unleash the power of others' martial souls.
Moreover, Oscar could also eat his own sausages. With this dual enhancement, Oscar was completely a versatile Soul Master, since he could copy any martial soul.
Just as Oscar was looking out the window and thinking, a knock came at the door. Vice Principal Zhao Wuji's boisterous voice came through: "Little Oscar, I'm taking you to the Star Dou Forest to get your soul ring today. Let's go."
Hearing Zhao Wuji's voice, Oscar responded and opened the door, following Zhao Wuji out. After all, he didn't have much to pack. In his memories, he was an orphan, his parents having died many years ago.
Zhao Wuji was currently level 73, reaching level 76 eight years later. This achievement was already quite high, and in the future, he would break through to the Title Douluo level. His talent was considered average.
At least for this era, a Soul Saint could walk sideways. Helping Oscar find his first soul ring would be effortless.
The Balaka Kingdom wasn't far from the Star Dou Forest, only half a month's journey away, and that was on foot. If by carriage, it would take only a week.
As for why they weren't going to the Hunting Forest, Flender had the noble excuse of training the students' willpower, but Oscar knew that this old geezer was just poor and didn't have a pass to enter the Hunting Forest!
However, the Star Dou Forest had its advantages. Being the largest soul beast forest, it had a complete variety of soul beasts. Almost all Soul Masters could find a satisfactory soul ring here, of course, provided you could defeat it.
Fortunately, Flender was still somewhat humane. Considering Oscar was still young and a food-type Soul Master, this time he and Zhao Wuji went by carriage, taking only a week to reach the small town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.
Zhao Wuji and Oscar rested in the town for one night, then entered the Star Dou Forest early the next morning, hoping to get Oscar's soul ring as soon as possible and then return to the academy.
Since Zhao Wuji was paying for everything out of his own pocket, Oscar currently had no money at all, even his tuition was unpaid. Flender was a tightwad who wouldn't spare a penny, so Zhao Wuji was quite bitter about it.
