Ch 44: Oscar's 3rd soul ring!

great timing, cause he woke up the second Zhao Wuji said that. Ning Rongrong looked at him as she stated the obvious :"Oscar. you're awake."

Dai Mubai :"Xiao Ao, you're awake."

Ma Hongjun :"Xiao Ao, you're awake. hurry! show us what the skill of your new soul ring is!"

Oscar was in a good mood. cause he had his chest puffed and his head high as he gently pushed Ma Hongjun away :"fatty, go farther. you're too close."

Ma Hongjun :"little rascal. tell us what your new Soul skill is."

he seemed hesitant on if he should tell them or not, that hesitation grew even more once he looked at Ning Rongrong :"forget about it. let's talk when we go back."

the reason was easy to find out, Zhu Zhuqing even scoffed with a small smirk.

Ma Hongjun :"why? are you afraid that we will laugh at you?"

Dai Mubai :"little rascal, don't hide it. don't keep us guessing. we won't laugh at you."

Ivan :"if my guess is right, the skill that you got from the soul ring should be either the same as how the crown of the Phoenix tail crest serpent works. or it should be... flying!"

his words took everyone by surprise! heck, even Zhao Wuji got more serious when he heard it! flying is a very useful ability, especially in combat!

but the only was to be able to fly, is to either have a flying type martial soul like Ali's Divine Devil martial soul, or the seraphim martial soul.

or have a very high level of soul power! we're talking douluo level! or in some special cases, high level soul douluos.

so if an auxiliary master could have the skill to grant flying only in level 30, that's a very precious soul master!

especially in a xianxia world where a simple mistake in a battle could result in your downfall. and it's also good for traveling, so it's really useful!

Ma Hongjun wasn't fun to keep calm when he's excited, so he looked Oscar with stars in his eyes :"what?! seriously?! is that true?!"

Oscar's smug face and grin grew even more smug as he puffed his chest even more :"hmph, you will obviously laugh."

Ma Hongjun :"ugh we won't, so hurry up already!"

but Oscar still wasn't convinced by them with their great history of "not making fun of him" since they have been friends :"okay, promise. don't laugh at me."

Dai Mubai :"we won't laugh. hurry up."

Ivan who stood with Altair and Zhu Zhuqing groaned as he whispered :"ughh I feel bad for him. their obviously gonna laugh. and hard at that."

Altair just laughed a breathy laugh as he continued watching the show.

thinking that he's safe now, Oscar drew his hair back with his hand with a smug look as he took a few steps :"huh you guys step aside. let me show you.

I, your father, have a mushroom sausage! flying mushroom sausage!"

as he finished his soul curse, a light brown sausage with illusionary purple flapping wings appeared that disappeared soon after and fell on his hand.

Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong who were the closet to him took a closer look at it as they started laughing hard!

they were laughing hard enough to make their stomach hurt! even Zhu Zhuqing smiled at how funny it was!

forget about Altair, he looked like he was watching a fucking comedy show! he was holding his stomach as he bent down slightly and place his hand on his knee from how hard he was laughing!

Ivan and Zhao Wuji were the only ones who weren't laughing at him, Ivan was even looking at him with sympathetic look :"hey now guys, no need to laugh at him like that. it's ok Oscar, just ignore the jerks."

his words didn't have any effect on any of them, but it was enough for Oscar to look at him like he was looking at an angel! pun intended!

Oscar :"Eve, you're the best person I've ever known. you're a real angel! *turned to look at Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai with a glare* and you guys! didn't you promise not to laugh?!"

Dai Mubai calmed down slightly, but he was still chuckling lightly at him :"Xiao Ao, why is your curse so weird?"

Oscar rolled his eyes as he shot back :"it's none of your business. I'll show you my third Soul skill. don't be frightened. Eve, your the only person who didn't laugh, hehe wanna try my mushroom sausage?"

Ivan giggled at his words with his hand in front of his mouth like a lady, looking gorgeous :"well why not. then thank you Oscar."

Oscar blushed in response, making Ning Rongrong slightly annoyed, but he gave the sausage to Ivan to try.

when Ivan ate it, a light came from his back as purple illusionary wings grew from his back! he then took off and flew around for a bit in the astonished eyes of the other.

then he stayed still a little in the sky for others to clearly see it.

Ma Hongjun didn't take his eyes off of Eve for a second. partly for how pretty he looked while flying, and partly for the wings, but mostly because of Ivan as he said :"Oscar, this is..."

Ning Rongrong :"it is really flying?"

Ivan was already proficient in flying since he already hade his own wings, so he decided to demonstrate even more.

Zhu Zhuqing was looking at him the entire time, luckily for her, this world isn't an anime. or else everyone would see hearts in her eyes! she wasn't sitting down, or she would have put her hands under her chin with a dreamy look.

everyone watched in excitement, but Xiao Wu didn't share the same excitement as them. she was worried about Tang San who was still cultivating while sweating a little.

but she wiped the sweat off as she stayed with him in case of danger. Zhao Wuji looked at Eve as he said :"beware of the surroundings."

feeling that this is enough demonstration, he flew down and stayed in front of the small group. Dai Mubai walked around him with his hand on his chin as he commented :"Xiao Ao, this skill is awesome. how long can you fly?"

Oscar :"uhh it's about 1 minute."

Altair :"hehe guess he's proficient in saying that."

Ma Hongjun :"what? only 1 minute? it's as short as your sausage."

Altair :"hahaha! bet that's what she said!"

they both shared a quick laugh while Oscar glared at them. Dai Mubai walked towards the phoenix tail crest serpent's corpse with his hand under his chin with a thoughtful expression.

Dai Mubai :"that's impossible. the soul Ring on Phoenix tail crest serpent is so useless?"

Oscar quickly defended himself from further ridicule :"I haven't finished my words."

Dai Mubai :"what? flying for 1 minute... couldn't even pass a slightly wide river."

Ivan :"there's no way that's it. the soul ring belongs to a millennium Phoenix tail crest serpent, so there has to be something else to it. if it's not about the time... is it about the speed?"

Oscar :"hehehe, your right, Eve. it doesn't last long, but what if it has the flying speed of the Phoenix tail crest serpent?"

everyone :"what?!"

Zhao Wuji :"oh? that's not bad."

Dai Mubai :"Xiao Ao, are you sure?"

Oscar :"I'm sure. it may be even faster."

Ma Hongjun :"that is so amazing! *thumbs up*"

Zhao Wuji :"great. at least what we did paid off. Xiao Ao, with your current soul power, how many of such mushroom sausages can you make?"

Oscar scratched his chin as he thought about it :"for one time... it should be less than 10. {this was in the subtitles, I'm also confused. guess he means 10 for each day.}

Zhao Wuji :"ten is already good. when your soul power increases, it will increase. okay. go and get ready.

we will start searching for Zhu Zhuqing's soul ring after Xiao San wakes up. and then we will immediately go back."

this guy has really good timing, cause Tang San woke up the second he finished speaking with a small groan!

Tang San :"Mr Zhao, we may not go back to school just for a while."

Xiao Wu got excited the moment she saw him :"Xiao San, you're awake!"

he just nodded at her, but others also heard them, so they walked towards them.

Oscar :"hey, Xiao San is awake."

Zhao Wuji :"Xiao San, you're awake. what do you mean that we can't go back to school? this star dou forest is not for fun.

since Xiao Ao has already gotten his soul ring, we must look for Zhu Zhuqing's and then go back as soon as possible. otherwise, I couldn't explain... if anything happens to you."

Tang San got up as he explained :"but... I need a soul ring too."

it seems that Zhao Wuji didn't hear him, cause he tried to refuse him :"there's no such thing as but... what? what did you say?

Tang San :"well {am I the only person who heard the n word here 😳🤨?}. I have also reached level 30 just now."

Xiao Wu :"gasp Xiao San, you've reached level 30?"

he just nodded again as conformation.

Dai Mubai/Ma Hongjun/Oscar :"ohh level 30?!"

everyone had surprised looks on their faces, after all, it was surprising enough that they came here to hunt for two level 30 soul masters! now there is three!

Tang San :"Mr Zhao, can we stay on to search for a suitable soul beast for me?"

Zhao Wuji :"of course, we can."

Dai Mubai :"Xiao San, congrats for becoming a soul honor. I would have say you are the youngest soul honor in Shrek, but there are a bunch of freaks among us {💀}, so I can't really say it."

everyone laughed at his joke, cause it was the Truth.

Oscar :"Xiao San, congrats!"

Ma Hongjun :"Xiao Ao, pinch me... to see if I'm dreaming."

Ning Rongrong :"congratulations." finally, someone who can say it lol.

Zhu Zhuqing :"congratulations."

Xiao Wu :"ge {hey he got promoted!}, congratulations. but I'll catch up with you soon."

Ivan :"congratulations, San'ge. I knew you could do it soon!"

Altair :"congrats, bro. hahaha glad you aren't TOO far behind." and he earned an elbow to his side from Eve, but it still made everyone laugh.

Tang San :"mhm, I will try my best to catch up with you two. I can't disappoint you two after all."

his words and smile resulted in a smile on Ivan's perfect face :"haha, it's ok. it's good to try your best, but still be careful. wouldn't want you to get harmed."

Zhao Wuji :"ok. it's getting late. let's move on. let's depart to get a soul beast for Zhuqing and Xiao San. don't let your guard down. the danger of the star dou forest... goes far beyond this."

everyone :"yes, Mr Zhao!"

-

a while has passed since they started moving again and the sky has turned dark.

fortunately for them, they were lucky enough to find a suitable soul beast for Zhu Zhuqing. but there was a difference between her's and Oscar's.

Oscar's was just a thousand year soul beast, but Zhu Zhuqing's? her's is a 5'000 soul beast! when they found it, they were happy because of it being suitable for Zhu Zhuqing.

but after knowing it's age, Zhao Wuji sighed and immediately gave up on it. there was no way that a normal soul master could absorb a five thousand year soul beast for his or her third ring!

but Altair and Ivan protested and wanted to hunt it so that Zhu Zhuqing would absorb it, arguing that Zhu Zhuqing isn't a normal soul master anymore.

saying that because of martial soul fusion skill that they performed, not only did it evolve her martial soul which automatically results in her body getting stronger as well.

but also that just her body has also become a lot stronger too! so because of the two boosts, she will be able to absorb it.
