Chapter 36 Xiao Wu returns, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Yiran reach level 30.
"Erming, Erming, where are you?"
Xiao Wu used a unique communication method specific to soul beasts to contact the Titan Giant Ape.
However, a long time passed without any response.
She is currently only a Soul Master, with limited perception, and is unaware of what is happening nearby.
They waited and waited, but received no response for almost an hour.
Xiao Wu pouted unhappily and said indignantly, "That awful Er Ming is ignoring me. I'm not playing with you anymore."
Finally, another attempt was made to contact the Titan Ape, but still no response was received.
"Forget it, let's not wait for it. Anyway, there are only a few that can hurt it in the Star Dou Great Forest, let it run wild for a while."
"His mistress must still be waiting for me. I have to go back quickly, or he'll be heartbroken."
Xiao Wu didn't wait any longer. Following the route she remembered from before she took human form, she headed towards the outer perimeter.
She still carried a trace of the Azure Bull Python's aura, so the spirit beasts along the way dared not approach her, allowing her to travel without hindrance.
Meanwhile, Lan Minghua led Oscar and the other two to a secluded spot.
"Still, are you going to absorb the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent, or should we find you another soul beast?"
Lan Minghua didn't really know much about Meng Yiran.
In the original work, she didn't have many scenes, and she disappeared without a trace after the Soul Master Competition.
Meng Yiran nodded and said, "The Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent was chosen for me by my grandparents; it's a perfect match for my martial spirit."
"Well, since it's your choice, I won't say anything. After you've absorbed it all, I'll give you some gifts to help you become an apprentice and improve your strength."
Meng Yiran was pleasantly surprised, but she still obediently finished off the Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent and sat down cross-legged to absorb the soul ring.
Just then, Oscar stared longingly at Lan Minghua, his resentful little eyes really irritating.
With a sigh, he took out a five-thousand-odd-year-old swift that had fallen unconscious from his food pouch.
(Note: In Under One Person, the Devouring Pouch can hold living beings, but only those that are unconscious.)
"Hey, this five-thousand-year-old swift is your third soul ring."
Lan Minghua originally wanted to catch the ancient swift, but he considered that Oscar might not be able to handle it.
Give him a 5,000-year spirit ring first, and save the 10,000-year spirit ring for the fourth spirit ring.
After all, not everyone is Tang San, who has lived two lives and whose mental strength is much stronger than Oscar's.
Sometimes, even geniuses can't catch up with those who are overpowered just by having talent.
When Oscar heard that it was a five-thousand-year-limited soul beast, the corners of his mouth involuntarily opened, forming an "o" shape.
"A five-thousand-year-old soul beast? Master, you must be mistaken. I am the Soul Master!"
Zhu Zhuqing tilted her head, staring curiously at the unconscious swift like a kitten.
Lan Minghua glanced at Oscar, exasperated: "Just absorb it when I tell you to. Would I harm you?"
"No. Teacher, with my current physique, you're asking me to absorb a five-thousand-year-old spirit ring for my third spirit ring? Aren't you sending me to my death?"
Oscar pouted, looking as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Although his indestructible body made him very powerful, absorbing spirit rings is not just about physical strength.
Lan Minghua was furious and regretted taking Oscar as his apprentice.
He then touched the left and right, and somehow pulled out a secret manual.
"Here, this 'Northern Darkness Divine Art' is for you. After cultivating it, you can absorb the soul power of others for your own use."
"The soul power contained in the five-thousand-year soul ring is indeed not low. You can absorb the soul power and then transfer it to those who need it."
Oscar's eyes lit up, and he unleashed an astonishing speed, instantly seizing the "Northern Darkness Divine Art".
Then, as if he had seen some kind of treasure, he rubbed his face against the manual.
Lan Minghua punched Oscar on the head in annoyance, "Hurry up and train, or you'll be sorry."
Oscar said "Oh," and immediately sat cross-legged to begin his meditation.
It must be said that Oscar's talent is indeed exceptional.
In just half an hour, he had mastered the basics of the Northern Darkness Divine Art.
When fighting others, I'll activate Golden Light Indestructible while absorbing the soul power from their soul skills.
If the levels are similar, who can break through this turtle shell?
"Master, I did it!" Oscar ran towards Lan Minghua.
Lan Minghua kicked him to the ground and scolded him irritably, "You succeeded and you're still not absorbing the spirit ring? Do I have to teach you?"
Oscar was on the verge of tears, feeling like he had been relegated to the sidelines after his master took on a few apprentices.
However, he was just pretending.
He finished off the five-thousand-year-old Swift with a single strike and immediately began absorbing the soul ring.
The absorption process went relatively smoothly.
Although they almost couldn't withstand the impact several times, they persevered.
In addition, Lan Minghua also knew the Northern Darkness Divine Art, so he directly helped Oscar absorb the excess soul power and transfer it to Zhu Zhuqing.
The latest novel is first published here!
Meng Yiran was the first to wake up and was shocked to see that Oscar was actually absorbing a five-thousand-year-old soul ring.
Born into a family of mythical beasts, she had a certain understanding of the lifespan limits of each spirit ring absorbed by a spirit master.
According to the Spirit Hall's data, the limit for the third spirit ring is approximately 1,700 years.
Oscar's third spirit ring was an astonishing five thousand years old.
And it seems he's almost there.
"Ah, that feels so good!"
Oscar suddenly opened his eyes, his soul power soaring to level thirty-three.
At the same time, Zhu Zhuqing, who could not absorb the soul power that Oscar could not absorb, also broke through to level 30.
This is truly a double celebration!
Lan Minghua didn't want every disciple to undergo a soul-hunting process; it was too much trouble.
"Master, I did it!"
Although Oscar almost couldn't withstand the impact of the spirit ring's power several times, he managed to hold on thanks to his tenacious willpower and Lan Minghua's help.
Lan Minghua asked curiously, "Oscar, what is your third soul skill?"
Oscar wasn't embarrassed at all and boldly recited the incantation: "I have a fast intestine."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sausage with a swiftlet pattern appeared in his palm.
"Teacher, my third soul skill is quite extraordinary. It can grant the person who eats the sausage the speed of a thousand-year-old swift for ten minutes."
Ten minutes of flight time, and that's at the speed of a swift.
This speed is probably already faster than that of a level 60 agility-based Soul Emperor.
It is important to know that Bai He, the patriarch of the Min clan, possesses the Swift-tailed Swift as his martial spirit.
Bai He is hailed as the fastest person in Douluo Continent.
This demonstrates just how incredibly fast the swift flies.
Lan Minghua was very satisfied with Oscar's third soul skill; at least now he had one more way to save his life.
"Alright, I was originally planning to give you the items after you two absorbed your third spirit rings. But Zhu Qing is level 30 now, so let's help her get her spirit ring first."
Lan Minghua led Oscar and the others back, since they had been out for almost half a day.
Just as they returned to where Zhao Wuji and his group were, they heard Tang San's exclamation.
"Xiao Wu, I'm so glad you're alright!"
Upon hearing this, a mocking smile appeared on Lan Minghua's lips.
"Interesting. But what kind of expression will she have when she finds out that Tang San encouraged me to kill the Titan Giant Ape?"
