Chapter 322
You promised not to laugh?! You bunch of liars!!!
Lin Xia nodded slightly, his face still showing the same calm as if he knew everything, as if Oscar's breakthrough and soul skill characteristics were all within his expectations.
The Shrek Academy members were already used to this. Lin Xia's mystery and strength, as well as his calm demeanor as if he knew everything, were his unique qualities.
"Congratulations, Xiao Ao."
Flander smiled with satisfaction and adjusted his crystal glasses.
Successfully absorbing a thousand-year-old soul ring means that Shrek Academy has gained another Soul Master, and moreover, he has reached the Soul Master status through the food element, which is of extraordinary significance.
He carefully examined Oscar and found that Oscar had indeed undergone some subtle changes after obtaining his third spirit ring.
He seemed to have grown taller, and his already handsome face looked even more spirited. Most notably, his signature peach blossom eyes now seemed to be shimmering with iridescent light, much like the energy aura released when the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent threatened everyone, adding to his mystique.
Dai Mubai's hearty laughter broke the brief silence. He strode forward and patted Oscar's shoulder hard, causing Oscar to stumble.
"Haha, good lad! Congratulations! You've reached level 32! Quick, let us see what your third spirit ring skill looks like? Flight? That sounds exciting!"
His eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation, and golden light gleamed in his evil pupils.
Oscar was overjoyed to have obtained his long-desired third spirit ring, but when Dai Mubai mentioned demonstrating his spirit skills on the spot, especially reciting that damned spirit incantation, the excitement on his face instantly froze, turning into embarrassment and awkwardness. His eyes darted around, and he stammered:
"Uh... well... Boss Dai, how about we go back and talk about it? It's not very convenient here..."
Ma Hongjun, with his round belly sticking out, came closer, his small eyes gleaming with mischief, and gave Oscar a shove in annoyance.
"Hey, hey, hey, Xiao Ao, what are you afraid of? You're acting like a girl! Are you afraid we'll laugh at you? No matter how outrageous your third soul skill's incantation is, it can't be any funnier than the first two, right?"
"Brothers, we almost got eaten by that giant snake for your spirit ring! Hurry up, stop dawdling, let us see the results!"
Tang San and Xiao Wu also focused their attention on Oscar, with goodwill and great curiosity in their eyes.
Flanders smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.
Even Snake Granny Chaotianxiang and Meng Yiran, who were waiting on the side, were intrigued by the strange soul spell of this "food-type soul master" and looked at him with curiosity.
Surrounded by the crowd, Oscar knew he couldn't escape. His handsome face turned bright red, as if it could bleed.
He lowered his head resignedly, took a deep breath as if he were going to the execution ground, and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, filled with immense shame and struggle.
"Well... it's a deal... you absolutely mustn't laugh after I've cast my soul spell! Anyone who laughs will have to get mad at me!"
Everyone suppressed their laughter, nodded in unison, and made their promises.
"Don't worry! I definitely won't laugh!"
However, the corners of their mouths, which they tried so hard to keep up but couldn't help turning up, and the playful glint in their eyes, had already betrayed their true thoughts.
Oscar closed his eyes in grief and indignation, as if summoning all the courage he had left. He suddenly raised his right hand, his soul power surging, and with all his might, he shouted the soul incantation that was destined to accompany him for the rest of his life:
"I have a mushroom sausage!" *Pfft—!!!*
"Pfft—!!!"
Hahahaha!!!
Almost the instant his last word was uttered, like a powder keg ignited, a long-suppressed burst of laughter erupted, echoing through the forest and startling the birds in the distant treetops!
Ma Hongjun was the first to completely break down. He clutched his stomach, laughing so hard his fat jiggled, and rolled on the ground like a ball, pounding the ground and laughing wildly.
"Oh my god! A mushroom sausage! Hahahaha! I have a mushroom sausage! Hahahaha! Little Ao, you...you're a genius! Hahahaha! I can't take it anymore, I'm dying of laughter!"
Dai Mubai had been trying to maintain his elder brother's dignity, but the moment he heard the soul incantation, the muscles on his face completely went out of control. First, his shoulders trembled violently, then he threw his head back and laughed wildly, tears streaming down his face, while forcefully slapping the thick tree trunk next to him.
"Hahahaha! Mushroom sausage! Little Ao! Your...your soul spell...hahahaha! That's amazing! It's even more outrageous than giant sausages and mini sausages! Hahahaha!"
Xiao Wu laughed so hard she trembled, her pink figure bending back and forth, her clear laughter like silver bells.
"Pfft, hahaha! Mushroom sausage! Oscar! How...how are you going to find a wife now?! Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter!"
Tang San is usually quite restrained, but even he couldn't hold back at this moment.
His lips curled up wildly, but he couldn't hold it in any longer. He turned his face away, his shoulders shaking violently as he let out a suppressed "coughing" laugh, clearly struggling to suppress it.
Purple Demon Eye almost laughed so hard it lost focus.
Even the stern Dean Flander's face was flushed red, and his crystal glasses had slipped down to the tip of his nose.
He adjusted his glasses with one hand and clenched his fist to his mouth with the other, letting out muffled "cough cough cough" laughter. He was clearly quite shocked by this unique soul incantation and had completely failed in his attempt to maintain the dignity of a teacher.
The most shocked were Snake Granny Chaotianxiang and Meng Yiran. The grandmother and granddaughter stared in disbelief, their expressions incredibly varied, as if they had heard something utterly unbelievable.
Chao Tianxiang's lips twitched, her eyes filled with disbelief—this...this is the genius food-type soul master under the protection of the unfathomable Lord Lin?
His soul spell... is so... unconventional?
Meng Yiran looked bewildered and confused, completely unable to understand why these people were laughing like that. However, the words "mushroom sausage" combined with the first half of the soul incantation made her vaguely understand something. Two red blushes appeared on her face, and her gaze towards Oscar became extremely strange.
At that moment, a peculiar sausage lay quietly in Oscar's hand.
It is entirely pink, with a smooth surface that shimmers with a light similar to the scales of a pheasant. Most striking are the tiny, dreamlike, pale red, transparent wings on either side of the sausage, which are slowly fluttering and exuding an aura of lightness and swiftness.
This miraculous effect formed an incredibly strong contrast with his shameful soul curse!
Oscar stood there, his handsome face as red as a boiled shrimp, clutching the magical mushroom sausage that could make people fly, exuding an aura of utter despair, as if he had suffered a kind of "social death."
He looked at his companions, who were laughing so hard they were practically falling over, especially the fat guy who was laughing the loudest, and roared inwardly.
"You promised not to laugh?! You bunch of liars!!!" (End of Chapter)
