Food-type Soul Masters Seem All-Powerful, But Are Actually Mediocre!

Chapter 52 Food-type Soul Masters Seem All-Powerful, But Are Actually Mediocre!

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but wonder if Dai Yichen was telling the truth. Was Oscar really that sleazy at first?

However, she realized that their world was just a fictional world created by Dai Yichen's previous life. Perhaps that was why he was so clear about some of Oscar's psychological descriptions.

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but think about whether she had done anything particularly outrageous in the original story.

If she has a copy of this diary, how will she face Dai Yichen if she runs into him?

Dai Yichen: Dark history? Of course I have some, I've got two thick slices of bread for that!

Dai Yichen said he would remember that sentence for the rest of his life!

It's hard to imagine that Ning Rongrong, who received such a fine aristocratic education from a young age, would say such vulgar things. Perhaps it's just that a teenage girl saw another woman with a stunning figure and felt jealous, leading her to speak without thinking. (I think it's more likely Sanshao's perverse sense of humor.)

Zhu Zhuqing: Are you clicking on me?

Oscar's third soul skill, Flying Mushroom Sausage, is a rare skill that allows a soul master to fly. Objectively speaking, it's quite impressive, allowing him to fly at the speed of a Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent for a full minute! A whole minute! Hahaha, that's hilarious. With his soul power at the time, he could only make ten of these sausages at a time, meaning a total of ten minutes. If he were to eat them himself, the time would be halved.

[His soul skill was indeed quite good for the Seven Devils at the time, considering that they could fly quickly at levels 20 or 30 with the help of others. But this soul skill became completely useless in the later stages. Flying for one minute with a Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent that's about a thousand years old? That speed might be fast for Soul Masters and Soul Sects, but could it be faster than a later-stage agility-based Soul Saint or Soul Douluo who can fly?]

The women: ? ? ?

They were indeed momentarily amazed when they saw that they could fly, but Dai Yichen's words immediately 'demystified' them.

Even the more experienced Bibi Dong and Poseidon shook their heads upon seeing this soul skill. It was a complete waste of a soul skill; it would have been much better if it had been placed around the sixth soul skill level.

Back then, you could hunt down bird-type soul beasts that were among the fastest of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. Wasn't that more impressive than a thousand-year-old phoenix-tailed crested snake?

They knew that the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent was among the fastest of the thousand-year-old soul beasts, but it was still a snake-type soul beast. No matter how fast it was, could it be faster than a bird-type soul beast?

In this world, Soul Saints can temporarily fly, and Soul Douluos and Title Douluos can fly at high speeds. Even as Oscar's strength increases in the later stages, the Flying Mushroom Sausage won't undergo any qualitative change; it will simply be produced in greater quantities. (Based on the fusion setting, Soul Saints and above can fly.)

[If his third soul skill were growth-oriented, such as increasing flight time or speed as Oscar's strength improves, it would be considered a top-tier soul skill. Unfortunately, his soul skill is fixed, and in the long run, it can only be considered average.]

[Flander even called Shrek Academy a monster academy with excellent teachers, but in the original story, when they went to hunt spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, they only sent Zhao Wuji to lead the team. Zhao Wuji, such a reckless man, didn't know anything about spirit beast theory. There wasn't a single teacher in the entire team who focused on theory.]

[Could Flander have thought that being strong was enough for a teacher? Theoretical knowledge is also extremely important. Back then, not a single person could see the flaw in this soul skill, not even Tang San, who had deeply inherited Yu Xiaogang's theoretical knowledge.]

[Oh, no, that's not right either. Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was ruined by Yu Xiaogang from the start, so what could he possibly know? Besides, Oscar, as a support-type Soul Master, should strive to make every Soul Skill useful to his team, whether in the early or late game; that's what makes a qualified support-type Soul Master.]

[The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School does this very well. None of their seven soul skills are wasted; they remain useful even in the later stages, the only issue being that they might consume more soul power. However, this could also be considered one of the drawbacks of food-type martial souls. Not only can they not provide ranged support, but the randomness of their soul skills is also more pronounced than that of normal support martial souls.]

Bibi Dong deeply understood what Dai Yichen meant. Her Spirit Hall had all sorts of Spirit Masters, and although the number of support-type Spirit Masters was not large, it was still considerable.

Whether it's an amplification-type martial soul like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School or a healing-type martial soul, the soul skills acquired at lower levels will still be useful when the soul master's level is higher.

However, it's hard to say about the soul skills of food-type soul masters. The effects of the food they make can encompass all the soul skills of support-type martial souls, including amplification, healing, detoxification, and restoration of soul power.

While seemingly all-around capable, this food-type Soul Master can become quite mediocre if not properly managed.

The best support martial souls she has always believed in are amplification-type martial souls and healing-type martial souls, which correspond to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul respectively. These two martial souls are the pinnacle of support martial souls.

Unfortunately, the owners of these two martial souls can be said to be on the opposite side of the Spirit Hall.

However, even if Yu Xiaogang had been present when the soul beast was hunted, he probably wouldn't have been able to offer much advice. After all, Oscar's fourth soul skill, Pink Sausage, was developed based on the soul beast he chose to hunt, providing a 10% boost to all attributes for one minute. Frankly, that effect wasn't as good as Ning Rongrong's higher attribute boost.

This soul-hunting operation also reveals that Shrek Academy doesn't really value the safety of its students or their soul skills. With so many teachers in the academy, why was only Zhao Wuji sent to help with the hunt? Even normally, it's rare to see other teachers at the academy; their teaching staff seems practically useless.

In other academies, sending a Soul Saint to help hunt for Soul Rings might be considered a very good deal, since normal Soul Master academies have a limited number of teachers and too many students to allocate resources effectively.

[But this doesn't make sense at Shrek Academy. Those teachers have nothing better to do than have seven monster students. The academy finally has them, shouldn't they at least take them seriously? If they don't send out more teachers to protect them, they'll just stay cooped up in the academy. Aren't they worried about something happening to them?]

Unfortunately, they did encounter an unexpected event along the way. Tang San's soul power had reached level 30, requiring a third soul ring, but soon after, the King of the Forest, the Titan Ape, appeared on the outskirts of the forest!
