Chapter 73
Oscar's 4rd Soul Skill
Chapter 73 Oscar's Fourth Soul Skill
Lan Minghua turned around and found that it was Zhu Zhuqing who came to him.
However, after glancing at the newcomer, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.
Then, in a calm tone, he said, "Congratulations! Your fourth spirit ring is a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, breaking the best spirit ring combination. It seems you've gained quite a bit from this trip to the Frozen Forest."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing smiled slightly, a hint of smugness flashing in her eyes.
She said softly, "Thanks to your guidance, Master, we were able to break the rules and obtain stronger soul rings and soul skills."
Lan Minghua nodded, his tone still calm: "Alright, now that everyone has successfully absorbed their spirit rings, let's go back and gather together to prepare for our return to Shrek Academy."
After speaking, Lan Minghua turned around, his back to Zhu Zhuqing, and prepared to return to rejoin the others.
Just as he turned around, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
However, just as she was feeling smug, Lan Minghua suddenly turned around, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
The next moment, without hesitation, he raised his foot and kicked Zhu Zhuqing in the buttocks.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, Zhu Zhuqing was caught off guard and was kicked so hard that she stumbled and fell to the ground, landing face-first in the dirt.
He clutched his buttocks, wincing in pain, his pretense crumbling in that instant, revealing Oscar's somewhat comical face.
"Ouch! Master, why did you kick me!" Oscar rubbed his bottom, stood up with a wronged look on his face, his eyes full of confusion and bewilderment.
Lan Minghua crossed his arms and looked at him with a half-smile: "Oscar, you think you can fool me with your disguise?"
Oscar was taken aback, then scratched his head awkwardly: "Master, how did you know it was me? My fourth soul skill can perfectly imitate someone else's aura and appearance, even the soul power fluctuations can be disguised exactly!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Minghua was taken aback and realized that something was wrong.
Something's not right. Something's definitely not right.
When Oscar absorbed the Mirror Beast's soul skill, shouldn't it have been a mimicry of a tiger and a cat?
One can use a drop of the provider's blood as raw material and then create a mirror sausage using one's fourth soul skill.
After consuming the Mirror Sausage, the user gains 70% of the Soul Skill power of the blood donor, and this effect lasts for 3 minutes.
But now it has become a perfect imitation of other people's aura and appearance, and even the fluctuations of soul power can be disguised exactly the same. How is this possible?
Could it be that the same martial soul, when absorbing the same soul beast, will grant different soul skills?
Thinking of this, Lan Minghua asked, "Oscar, besides disguise, does your fourth soul skill have any other effects?"
Upon hearing this, Oscar suddenly looked up: "Master, how did you know that my fourth soul skill had other effects?"
"Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me already," Lan Minghua said, giving him a sidelong glance.
Oscar said, "Hehe, my fourth soul skill is Mirror Sausage and Mirror Image Sausage, two kinds of sausages, each with different uses."
"The effect of the Mirror Image Sausage is disguise. I can extract the soul power of anyone I have come into contact with to create the Mirror Image Sausage. Once consumed, it can transform into their appearance, and the soul power can be replicated one-to-one. It can even conjure up the clothes they are wearing."
"However, the duration depends on the difference between my soul power and the opponent's. If their soul power is weaker than mine, the disguise can last for thirty minutes."
"Those with soul power up to 20 levels higher than mine can maintain it for 20 minutes; those with more than 20 levels higher can only maintain it for 10 minutes. In other words, the higher the soul power, the shorter the duration the Mirror Sausage can maintain."
After hearing Oscar's explanation, Lan Minghua's eyes lit up.
The effect of the mirror-image sausage was far better than he had imagined.
If he hadn't been so powerful, he might not have been able to see through Oscar's disguise.
Based on his judgment, the level 40+ Oscar Mirror Image Intestine could at least confuse the perception of a Soul Saint, or even a Soul Douluo.
As long as it's not too abrupt, even Contra players won't be able to tell the difference between the real and fake.
Moreover, the effect of the Mirror Image Intestine becomes even better as his soul power increases.
According to Lan Minghua's deduction, when Oscar becomes a Soul Emperor, his Mirror Image Intestine might be able to confuse the senses of a Title Douluo.
Oscar then went on to explain the function of the mirror sausage, which was largely the same as described in the original work.
The only difference is that the Soul Skill Power gained from the blood donor has decreased from 70% to 60%.
However, this was within Lan Minghua's expectations, since this Mirror Beast was only a little over 10,000 years old, which was 10,000 years younger than the one in the original story.
Although it's a decade too low, it grants another soul skill effect that's already better than Oscar's sixth soul skill in the original work.
After all, in the original story, Oscar didn't obtain the blood he wanted beforehand, so his sixth soul skill was just for show and had great limitations.
Oscar's fourth soul skill is now much better than his sixth soul skill in the original work.
Oscar scratched his head and asked, "Master, I clearly confirmed with Zhu Qing that even she herself couldn't tell the difference between my disguise and hers. How did you recognize me?"
Lan Minghua chuckled softly and told Oscar about the shortcomings of the Mirror Image Sausage, advising him to use it carefully.
Otherwise, if they find out, they'll just be foolishly waiting to die.
Oscar listened, stunned, and couldn't help but scratch his head: "Oh, I see. I thought my Mirror Image was a flawless disguise!"
The latest novel is first published here!
Lan Minghua patted him on the shoulder, his tone teasing: "Alright, don't be discouraged. Your fourth soul skill is indeed quite good; even I was almost fooled by you. However, if you want to fool me, you still need to practice more."
Upon hearing this, Oscar immediately perked up and said with a grin, "Master, don't worry, I'll practice more in the future and try to fool you next time!"
Lan Minghua smiled without saying a word, but inwardly he was filled with emotion.
Oscar's fourth soul skill is indeed extraordinary. If I were still at the level of a Soul Douluo, I might have been fooled by him.
However, he didn't point this out, but instead turned around and waved his hand: "Let's go, don't keep everyone waiting."
Oscar quickly followed, rubbing his bottom as he walked, muttering, "Master, that kick was really hard! My bottom is practically bleeding."
"That's what you deserve."
The two walked towards the meeting point, one after the other.
Then Lan Minghua led Oscar and the other three back to the ice.
The cold wind howled through the frozen forest, scattering Oscar's complaints and also bringing a faint smile to Lan Minghua's lips.
"Phew, it feels so good to see the light of day again."
Zhu Zhuqing and the other two women breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the environment inside the ice cave was too oppressive, and ordinary people could not survive for long in the dark and sunless ice cave.
Lan Minghua looked at his four disciples, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
They gained a lot from this trip to the frozen forest.
He then waved his hand, interrupting everyone's thoughts: "Alright, now that everyone has finished absorbing their spirit rings, let's prepare to return to Shrek Academy. The training ahead won't be as easy as it was this time."
Upon hearing this, Oscar and the other three straightened up and replied in unison, "Yes, Master!"
Lan Minghua nodded, took out his flying prop sword, and carried everyone through the blizzard back to base.
On the flying prop sword, Lan Minghua also sat down cross-legged, it was time to check his gains from this trip.
"All four of Oscar's group have broken through to the Soul Master level, and their fourth Soul Rings are all ten-thousand-year Soul Rings. This is all thanks to me. I wonder how many Master Points we'll get this time."
So, filled with anticipation, Lan Minghua silently said to himself, "System, check the balance of Master Points."
