Chapter 132: Su Ming's Analysis of Oscar's Flying Mushroom Sausage

"With your talent, reaching the Soul Sage level in the future shouldn't be a problem. By then, you'll be capable of brief aerial maneuvers on your own. As for Soul Douluo and Title Douluo, they naturally surpass this limitation. Though flying consumes soul power, it's certainly more effective than Oscar's mushroom sausage, which lasts only a minute."

"In battles at that level, what difference can a single minute make? Unless the strength gap is immense and the fight ends within that time."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Teacher Zhao."

Hearing Su Ming's words, everyone turned their gaze toward Zhao Wuji. After all, he was the only Soul Sage present, making him the most authoritative on the matter.

Zhao Wuji, initially astonished by Oscar's exaggerated claims, now appeared uncomfortable as Su Ming laid things out. He nodded and said, "What Su Ming says is true. Battles between Soul Sages usually last longer than a minute. Only in cases of significant disparity, such as a Soul Sage fighting a Soul Douluo, might the fight end quickly. Even then, Oscar's mushroom sausage wouldn't make much of a difference."

"If the weaker party uses the mushroom sausage to escape, a one-minute duration isn't nearly enough. A Soul Douluo could easily track the Soul Sage's aura. It's not like that Soul Sage would have a stockpile of Oscar's sausages, right? And considering Oscar is a food-type soul master, he wouldn't be watching the battle from the sidelines to keep providing them—it's just unrealistic."

"As for the stronger party, the mushroom sausage would be even less necessary. The gap in strength would render it pointless for the Soul Sage to attempt escape. Of course, I'm speaking in general terms—special circumstances aside."

The group, after listening to Zhao Wuji's explanation, now had a much clearer understanding of Oscar's soul skill and its limitations.

At this point, Ning Rongrong interjected, "Actually, it's not entirely useless. After all, food-type soul masters who reach the Soul Sage level are incredibly rare on the continent, let alone Soul Douluos. However, in terms of usefulness to our sect, food-type soul masters are not particularly valuable. Our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda provides far superior enhancements."

"Food-type soul masters can't match the amplification of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Their sole advantage lies in producing consumables that can be stored and distributed, which is more suitable for serving as logistical support for large imperial armies."

Oscar felt like a dagger had been plunged into his heart. Although he was reluctant to admit it, Ning Rongrong's words made sense.

After all, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was renowned for offering the best amplifications on the continent, far surpassing what any food-type soul master could provide.

Even their academy's food-type soul master teacher, Shao Xin, with his Sugar Bean Martial Soul, was already a rare talent as a seventy-two-ranked Soul Sage. Oscar hadn't heard of any food-type soul master reaching the Soul Douluo level.

Still, he retorted, "Ning Rongrong, that's an overly absolute statement. Sure, food-type soul master elites are rare, but I'm a food-type soul master with innate full soul power. Who's to say what heights I might reach in the future? Have you ever seen another food-type soul master with innate full soul power?"

Ning Rongrong shook her head.

Seeing her reaction, Oscar felt a small sense of satisfaction. This time, he had the upper hand!

Su Ming, observing Oscar's smug demeanor, refrained from further rebuttals. Without divine herbs, mirrored sausage, or the Sea God Island trials, I highly doubt you'll reach Soul Sage as quickly as in the original timeline. And even if you do, you'll likely be far older by then.

Plus, without his intervention, there's no way Oscar would venture into the Extreme North to obtain the mirrored sausage soul skill for Ning Rongrong's sake. With me here, Ning Rongrong probably harbors no feelings for him whatsoever. In the original story, Oscar only braved the trials because the two of them were mutually in love.

Su Ming wasn't about to let Oscar relish this moment of triumph for long. He continued, "Don't celebrate too soon, Oscar. Even if you reach Soul Douluo or Title Douluo, so what? As mentioned earlier, your flying mushroom sausage becomes practically obsolete in the later stages. It's only useful for assisting Soul Masters below the Soul Sage level, and its one-minute duration is a fatal flaw."

"Obtaining a flying ability as your third soul skill might seem impressive now, but from a long-term perspective, it's not worth it. A skill that enhances a specific attribute—like the amplification provided by Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda—would be far more practical and valuable in the long run."

The group pondered this and realized the logic behind Su Ming's argument. If Oscar had obtained a soul skill that increased attack or defense by a percentage, it would undoubtedly have been more useful than the mushroom sausage.

Oscar's initially proud expression faltered under Su Ming's analysis.

Annoyingly, he's right, Oscar thought, his face growing pale. I consider myself a genius, but relying on this skill to assist a bunch of weaker Soul Masters in the future? That's ridiculous.

Su Ming smirked inwardly. Let Oscar suffer—he deserves it.

Back when they first enrolled, Su Ming had advised Oscar to rein in his behavior, warning him against being overly lewd and unlikable. Most importantly, he shouldn't have sided with Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun so openly. Even staying silent would have been better.

Thus, Su Ming had long decided to give up on Oscar, not even bothering to warn him about selecting a different soul beast for absorption.
