Facing Dai Mubai's question, Oscar just smiled slightly, then said: "Actually, you can understand it that way, but I'm not a twin martial soul possessor."
Hearing this, Dai Mubai was instantly puzzled. What did "you can understand it that way" mean? And then he wasn't a twin martial soul possessor? If not a twin martial soul, how did he cultivate the sword?
Oscar hadn't planned to hide it from Dai Mubai, because there was no need. After all, he would frequently use the Sky Azure Spirit Jade Sword, so unless he didn't use it at all, there was no point in hiding it.
Moreover, now that Dai Mubai had joined Shrek, he wouldn't be leaving, so there was no danger to Oscar.
Furthermore, at worst, there was still his teacher Gai Yue, a powerful expert. Unless a Titled Douluo came, who could harm him?
And Titled Douluos wouldn't covet his external Soul bone either. After all, an external Soul bone, once fused, couldn't be removed and used like the six main Soul bones. So Oscar had no worries in this regard.
And outside, Oscar would package himself as a sword martial soul soul master, so he wouldn't have to worry about others coveting his external Soul bone.
Seeing Dai Mubai's puzzled expression, Oscar raised his left hand, and a sky-blue jade sword directly appeared. In Oscar's right hand, an orange sausage slowly materialized.
Seeing Oscar's "martial souls" in both hands, Dai Mubai exclaimed: "Twin martial souls!"
"But this is clearly twin martial souls. Brother Ao, how can you say it's not?"
Oscar smiled and explained: "My martial soul is the Supreme Sausage, and this is my external Soul bone."
As Oscar spoke, he put away the sausage while still holding the Sky Azure Spirit Jade Sword, showing it to Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai was even more puzzled upon hearing this—external Soul bone? Was there this type of external Soul bone?
And could external Soul bones be cultivated like martial souls? How was that possible?
Oscar walked while continuing to explain his external Soul bone to Dai Mubai. After listening, Dai Mubai just felt it was somewhat incredible.
Let alone Oscar's luck, Oscar's talent and perseverance alone were something he couldn't reach.
As a food-type soul master, yet able to cultivate through an external Soul bone to become comparable to an assault-type soul master—this was undoubtedly a special existence in the soul master world.
Dai Mubai didn't doubt Oscar's words, because whether it was Ma Hongjun's earlier description or Vice Dean Zhao Wuji's attitude toward Oscar, Oscar possessed an unparalleled position at Shrek.
At this moment, Dai Mubai increasingly felt that he might have come to the right Shrek. After all, with such genius students, would he also have such improvement after entering?
After all, one takes on the color of one's company. And Oscar and Ma Hongjun were clearly the type who were thoroughly red.
Moreover, what was most important—these two possessed such talent. If he became friends with them, or even brothers, then in the future when facing his big brother's pursuit, with their help, or with the support of the forces behind them, wouldn't he be able to escape disaster?
Of course, this was just a thought of Dai Mubai's. How things would actually develop still depended on how he interacted with these two.
After showing Dai Mubai around the academy, it was already afternoon. Oscar hadn't even eaten lunch, so after the tour, he directly took Dai Mubai to the cafeteria for a good meal.
When Dai Mubai saw the ingredients in the cafeteria, he was shocked again, because these were actually soul beast meat?
And from the energy he could feel from the food, these ingredients definitely came from at least thousand-year level soul beasts.
This meal was made from the sea soul beasts Flender and the others had hunted earlier. Sea soul beasts had massive bodies, and with just the few people at Shrek Academy, they would be eating them for over half a year.
The remaining uneaten portions had all been frozen by Gai Yue, to be thawed when needed.
After Oscar took Dai Mubai to eat, today's recruitment also ended. Like in the original story, only Dai Mubai enrolled.
However, recruitment time was three days, with two more days remaining. Except for Oscar, no one else knew that this year there would probably only be Dai Mubai as a student.
But Oscar naturally wouldn't continue staying at the academy waiting for recruitment. After all, he had broken through to level thirty, and obtaining a Soul ring was the priority.
So that night, after settling Dai Mubai, Oscar went to find Gai Yue. He planned to set off tomorrow to obtain his third Soul ring.
Of course, there was also Shao Xin. He had also broken through to level seventy and needed only one Soul ring to advance to Soul Sage.
Since it was currently the academy's recruitment days, Gai Yue only needed to take Oscar and Shao Xin to obtain their Soul rings.
Because Shao Xin was a food-type soul master, this time their destination was the closer Sunset Forest. Sunset Forest was within the Heaven Dou Empire's borders, just over a hundred li south of Heaven Dou City.
The reason for choosing Sunset Forest, besides Shao Xin's Soul ring being easier to obtain there, was more importantly Oscar himself.
His third Soul ring, like in the original story, was still meant to be a flight-type Soul skill. But his choice of soul beast was clearer.
Not the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Snake from the original story, but the Point-Tailed Swift, known as the fastest among pure agility types. There was a Point-Tailed Swift clan in Sunset Forest, which was why Oscar chose Sunset Forest.
Since he was choosing a flight-type Soul skill, naturally speed was paramount. Oscar would certainly want the best Soul ring.
Not like in the original story where he had no direction—whatever he encountered, he took. If that were the case, wouldn't Oscar have wasted all these years?
Having determined the target and destination, the next day Gai Yue took Oscar and Shao Xin and set off.
Flender and the others didn't go along but stayed at the academy to oversee things. After all, it was still new student recruitment time, and they hoped to recruit a few more geniuses.
After all, the academy now only had three people including Dai Mubai—not enough to form a normal team.
Oscar, who had already left the academy, didn't have so many thoughts. After all, he knew there would only be Dai Mubai this year, and no newcomers for the next two years either. Only in the third year would people come.
And if nothing unexpected happened at that time, their Shrek Seven Devils group would be assembled.
This was also something Oscar was looking forward to. Because if Tang San came, then like in the original story, he would have the opportunity to receive an immortal-grade spirit herb, making his strength improve even faster.
It wasn't that Oscar didn't want to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well himself, but because the current him simply had no opportunity. If there was an opportunity, although Oscar couldn't be one hundred percent certain, he had a good chance of taking down Dugu Bo and claiming the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for himself.
Because he hadn't been idle these past five-plus years. Whether in pharmacology or alchemy, he had been conducting experiments. Combined with having read the original story, he had done some small experiments on how to detoxify Dugu Bo.
Although he couldn't guarantee success, if there was an opportunity to test on Dugu Bo or Dugu Yan, Oscar would definitely be able to quickly find the correct method.
After all, there were quite a few medicinal ingredients in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Oscar had collected many pharmacology books over these years, and some had records of immortal-grade spirit herbs. Though not complete, it was enough for Oscar to use.
