Inside the Drunk Immortal Tower, Flender directly booked a private room and ordered a table of the best dishes, including century-level soul beasts. The main dish was even from a thousand-year-level soul beast.
This time, Flender truly spent a lot of money. However, Flender seemed even happier than Oscar, so naturally he was happy to spend the money.
Flender's happiness was simple. Besides Oscar defeating the thirty-six level Bu Le with twenty-two levels of soul power, Oscar hiding his martial soul and using his external soul bone as his martial soul in combat also made Flender's eyes light up.
Flender could now almost certainly say that after Oscar grew up, he would definitely bring fame and fortune to their Shrek. And Oscar's future achievements definitely wouldn't be below his.
Besides being the dean of Shrek Academy, Flender had another lesser-known identity - the Flying Horn of the Golden Iron Triangle.
As a food-type soul master, Oscar now having such strength and achievements had already surpassed all food-type soul masters in history.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhao Wuji took Oscar and Ma Hongjun back to Shrek Academy, while Flender stayed in Soto City to auction this month's candy beans from Shao Xin and also visit his own small shop.
This time, there was no Oscar's second soul skill, because after knowing the effect of Oscar's second soul skill, Flender was somewhat hesitant about whether to auction Oscar's special detoxifying small sausage.
And Oscar had only been back for two days since obtaining his second soul ring, so he hadn't had time to make any.
Actually, Oscar was okay with auctioning his second soul skill, but since he wasn't short of small money now, whether to auction or not didn't matter.
On the way back to the academy, Oscar threw away all the underwear from Bu Le's red bracelet soul guide and gave it to Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun already had a soul guide from Flender, and now he had another three-cubic-meter soul guide, so naturally he was happy.
After all, the soul guide also contained several hundred gold soul coins that Bu Le had robbed and some daily necessities. It could be considered extra compensation for Bu Le beating Ma Hongjun yesterday.
After the Bu Le incident today, Ma Hongjun trained even harder, because Oscar today was simply too cool. Ma Hongjun vowed to be even more impressive than Oscar in the future.
Oscar being able to fight across levels as a food-type soul master - as a genuine top-tier beast martial soul strong attack-type soul master, Ma Hongjun naturally wouldn't be any worse than Oscar.
And precisely because of Oscar's battle today, Flender and Zhao Wuji also realized the special nature of whale glue.
Of course, Oscar gave a special explanation.
That seven-hundred-year whale glue, although rare, didn't actually have as exaggerated an effect as imagined. If given to Ma Hongjun, it might at most improve his physical fitness by about five levels.
The reason Oscar improved by nearly ten levels was because his foundation was too good. His physical fitness had already been polished to the limit, and that whale glue was like a key that suddenly realized all of Oscar's previous accumulation. That's why Oscar's improvement was so large.
If Oscar were given another thousand-year-level whale glue now, it might not achieve the same effect as the first one.
But even so, Flender and Zhao Wuji had witnessed the special nature of this whale glue, so afterward, without Oscar even needing to ask, Flender would spend energy to get this thing.
Oscar also thoughtfully reminded Flender that whale glue was a product of sea soul beasts and was most likely to appear in coastal areas.
Of course, if one had the strength, directly hunting sea soul beasts was also possible.
However, the preciousness of whale glue lay in that it only came from whale-type soul beasts, and this type of soul beast was basically top-tier among sea soul beasts. Moreover, they generally lived in groups. Wanting to hunt in the sea, even Flender as a Soul Sage might not succeed.
Of course, if all the teachers from Shrek Academy went out together, hunting a few sea soul beasts shouldn't be a problem.
Naturally, Oscar wanted as much whale glue as possible, but he didn't put pressure on Flender and the others. Besides purchasing, hunting sea soul beasts was entirely up to Flender's voluntary decision.
After all, this required taking risks, and Oscar didn't need to ask Flender and the others to do this.
After returning to the academy, Oscar continued as before, getting up at seven every day to exercise. Besides his usual studies and training during the day, he also started practicing swordsmanship, and at night he still meditated instead of sleeping.
However, no one at Shrek Academy had a sword martial soul, so Oscar's sword practice could only be explored on his own.
Naturally, Oscar hoped to have an outstanding teacher to teach him. The most suitable candidate in Oscar's mind was the current Sword Douluo Chen Xin, known as the Venerable of the Sword Way on the continent. But Oscar knew he couldn't possibly have the chance to meet him now.
Actually, there wasn't no way. After all, with Oscar's talent, if he proposed joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School now, Chen Xin would definitely be willing to teach Oscar.
Even if Chen Xin wasn't willing, as the sect master, Ning Fengzhi would definitely accept Oscar into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and have Chen Xin teach him.
But Oscar didn't do this. First, doing so would mean leaving Shrek Academy, and in the future, he might not have any connection with Tang San.
Of course, Ning Rongrong might still come to Shrek Academy as in the original story, and Oscar might also come back with her.
But the reason was precisely this uncertainty. Oscar wasn't willing to gamble.
Second, Oscar currently didn't have any thoughts of joining any power. Otherwise, with his talent, he would be a key cultivation target wherever he went.
Third, he had been brought here by Flender, and he had developed feelings for Shrek over these nearly three years. At least for now, he wasn't willing to leave.
So when Oscar mentioned finding a swordsmanship teacher for himself, he just laughed it off when this issue came up.
However, Flender took it to heart after learning about it. From his perspective, Oscar going to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to apprentice under Chen Xin was the better choice.
Although Oscar's Azure Spirit Jade Sword was just an external soul bone, it was now Oscar's main means of attack. So Flender now felt somewhat that he was holding Oscar back.
After all, Oscar wasn't willing to leave Shrek Academy, and in his view, it was because of Oscar's feelings for the academy.
After all, to prevent Oscar and Ma Hongjun, these two talents, from leaving, Flender hadn't even let them register as soul masters.
