Chapter 57: The Subversive Power of the Sausage Martial Soul

Oscar was unusually moved by Yang Xiong's words, while the others looked at each other; it was clear that their experience in the Soul Master World was not extensive, and after Yang Xiong said that they began to somewhat acknowledge Oscar's Sausage.

Yang Xiong continued, "Oscar, I want to ask you a small question: how long can your Sausage generally be stored?"

Oscar thought for a moment before replying, "The Sausages made with my first soul skill and second soul skill are effective within twelve hours."

Yang Xiong nodded again and looked at the people around him: "Have you considered that Oscar's support is completely different from the support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, and it may even be revolutionary in the Soul Master World? Whether in the army or when we go on expeditions, if we can bring Oscar's Sausage in advance, it is like having a support. Of course, if the storage time of Oscar's Sausage could be extended a bit, it would be like a Divine Medicine; even when we take Divine Medicine we don't get this effect, let alone the Sausage also has functional properties."

"Especially when Oscar's soul power grows stronger in the future, he can produce hundreds or even thousands of Sausages at once; you can imagine how powerful the support effect would be, especially in the army or within sects."

Oscar listened thoughtfully; as Yang Xiong said, the Sausage's function is one aspect, and its storage time is another, and he realized he had never considered how to extend the storage time.

The others' expressions changed dramatically, especially Dai Mubai; they were not completely ignorant Xiao Bai, and in an instant they understood how formidable the Sausage martial soul would be in the future, even more terrifying than they had imagined.

Even Flanders looked thoughtful; he had always strongly believed in Oscar's talent and support ability, but had never considered it as comprehensively as Yang Xiong did. Compared with ordinary free cultivators, if in a sect or the army, Oscar might hold an exceedingly lofty status.

Yang Xiong turned his head and glanced at Ning Rongrong: "Rong Rong, try the effect of this Sausage; it might help you understand the difference between the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and the Sausage."

Although Ning Rongrong's expression was unpleasant, she stepped forward: "Oscar, please make two Sausages for me."

Oscar was instantly overjoyed and immediately produced two Sausages.

Although Ning Rongrong hesitated a bit and even felt some aversion, she still took Oscar's Sausage and swallowed it in one bite.

As the Sausage entered her mouth, Ning Rongrong instantly grasped its terrifying effect; although in the short term it might not match the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, as Yang Xiong said, this Sausage can be stored, and as Oscar grows stronger, it may become a revolutionary force in the Soul Master World.

After all, Ning Rongrong came from a sect and had been exposed to more knowledge of the Soul Master World, so at this moment she began to understand what Yang Xiong meant.

The other six, after some thought, also began to eat Oscar's Sausages; at first they might have felt some aversion, but now they were somewhat amazed, and Oscar instantly felt a startled, honored expression, sweeping away the earlier gloom.

Even Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, the two girls, at this moment forced themselves to endure their inner aversion to spells; after eating the Sausage they felt the effect was excellent and were filled with admiration for Oscar.

Flanders looked at Oscar with a grateful smile; he hoped even more that Oscar would blend in with everyone.

After everyone had finished using Oscar's Sausages, Flanders spoke again.

"Very good, I hope the Shrek Eight stay united; you are a team and now understand Oscar's support effect better. As Yang Xiong said, battles among soul masters are not instantaneous; Oscar can provide supplies to all of you and is your most reliable backup."

"Also, tonight's class is cancelled; you all have a day of rest. Tomorrow morning everyone departs, and Teacher Zhao Wuji will lead all of you to help Oscar obtain the Third Soul Ring. This is not a matter for just one of you, but a trial for all of you, and it relates to the kind of support you will later receive from Oscar."

"This time Teacher Zhao is only accompanying you; he will not act until you encounter a thousand‑year soul beast, which is also a test of your combat abilities."

Everyone nodded; clearly Yang Xiong's words and the Sausage's effect gave them a revolutionary understanding.

After returning to the dormitory, Oscar was unusually excited: "Brother Xiong, it seems you have read a lot and understand soul masters and soul beasts very well; what kind of Soul Ring should I obtain for my Third Soul Ring?"

Yang Xiong showed a hint of helplessness on his face: "Just call me Yang Xiong; you're older than me."

"The Star Dou Great Forest is the largest soul beast forest on the Douluo Continent; we probably will only go to its outskirts. There are many soul beasts there, but I suggest you find a soul beast with a strong bloodline and strong functionality, preferably the rarer the better, ideally one with a dragon‑type or phoenix‑type soul beast bloodline."

"I have been to Sunset Forest and seen many fine thousand‑year soul beasts, but exactly which soul beast you should choose depends on age and opportunity. Normally the age limit for a Third Soul Ring is within 1,700 years; even if it exceeds that, it cannot be too much beyond."

Tang San, standing nearby, was a bit puzzled: "Yang Xiong, my teacher once said the age limit for the Third Soul Ring is 1,760 years; if we search according to this standard there will be no problem, and it's best not to exceed this limit or there will be a life risk."

Yang Xiong nodded: "The Soul Master World does have a Soul Ring age standard, and in a sense it is correct, but each person's constitution differs. If one trains the body long‑term, the age limit might be slightly higher, even possibly exceeding the limit. However, given Oscar's situation, I think it's best not to take the risk."

Tang San's expression turned a bit serious: "Yang Xiong, my teacher's standard should be flawless; it is a summary of countless soul masters' Soul Ring absorption data."

Yang Xiong nodded: "I already said that, in a sense it is correct, but people's constitutions and endurance differ, and for us soul masters, isn't the limit meant to be broken?"

Tang San, hearing this, seemed to recall something: "Yang Xiong, I see your physical quality is unusual; could it be that your first two Soul Ring absorptions exceeded the age limit?"

Yang Xiong laughed: "It is indeed a bit beyond the limit, but without systematic training, or if the body cannot far surpass ordinary people, I would not recommend exceeding the Soul Ring age limit to absorb a Soul Ring; there is still a certain risk."

Tang San fell silent at once upon hearing this; as Yang Xiong said, isn't the so‑called limit meant to be broken? Especially since Tang San himself considers his talent extraordinary, and having forged weapons for a long time and practiced Tang Sect techniques, his physical quality definitely surpasses that of soul masters of the same rank.
