Sunset Forest, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
With the coordination of his avatars, Oscar finally brought the Blue Silver Emperor to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He planned to plant it here so it could grow quickly.
As for what to do once it matured that would be decided in the future.
When Dugu Bo saw Oscar's avatar bringing a stalk of grass, he asked curiously, "Oscar, what is that you've brought?"
Oscar's avatar replied, "A Blue Silver Grass that happens to carry the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor. I brought it back."
"If this thing matures, it will hold extremely high value."
Hearing Oscar's words, Dugu Bo nodded and asked no further. The Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline was indeed rare, but compared to immortal grade herbs, it was still lacking.
Now that he had just broken through to Rank 94, Dugu Bo naturally had no interest in an immature Blue Silver Emperor.
As for Gai Yue, he was still in seclusion, so the avatar didn't see him. Currently, Gai Yue was on the verge of breaking through to Titled Douluo and condensing his first soul core, so Oscar didn't disturb his teacher. After planting the Blue Silver Emperor, the avatar left.
That right leg bone of the Blue Silver Emperor, Oscar had already delivered to the Lingyu Escort Agency in Soto City. He planned to give it to Dugu Yan at an appropriate time.
The reason he chose Dugu Yan was something Oscar had considered carefully.
Firstly, this soul bone could give her both a flying skill and a healing skill. These two abilities would greatly enhance her combat endurance.
Moreover, as a hundred thousand year soul bone, it would vastly improve her physical constitution and vitality, laying a strong foundation for her future.
Of course, the main reason was that Oscar himself didn't need this Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone. After all, he already had both flying and healing abilities, so absorbing it would be redundant.
Though a hundred thousand year soul bone could certainly strengthen Oscar physically, he firmly believed that his future would not be limited by such things. Thus, he gave it up.
Once a soul bone was absorbed, it rarely revealed itself. Even if Dugu Yan used its skills in front of Tang San, he might not recognize them.
After absorption, the soul bone's energy fused with the soul master, so there was no need to worry about "leaking aura" or other melodramatic scenarios.
That was why Oscar dared to give the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone to Dugu Yan. Otherwise, he would never have done so.
Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy after Oscar exposed Yu Xiaogang's true face, Tang San couldn't sleep all night. He tossed and turned on his small bed until dawn…
As the first rays of morning broke, the older students had already risen and, under Oscar's lead, began their morning training.
Tang San, having stayed awake all night, naturally noticed their training. Watching them start so early, he finally understood why they were so talented. In his eyes, it wasn't just their innate giftsit was also the extra effort and sweat they poured in that gave them such achievements.
Because of what Oscar had told him yesterday about his teacher Yu Xiaogang, Tang San spent the whole night thinking. In the end, he decided he must go ask his teacher directly; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to continue studying here.
So at breakfast, Tang San told Oscar his decision, then left the academy alone.
Xiao Wu originally wanted to go with him, but this time Tang San chose not to take her. He had his reasons.
The reason was simple. Although he and Xiao Wu had just enrolled, anyone could see their close relationship. By leaving Xiao Wu behind, Tang San was signaling his trust in Oscar.
If Oscar had lied about his teacher, then Tang San could always return and take Xiao Wu away later. He would lose nothing.
Although Xiao Wu was saddened that Tang San didn't take her, after his reassurance, she didn't throw a tantrum and instead stayed at the academy, waiting for his return.
Oscar, however, immediately saw through Tang San's little scheme. He knew exactly why Xiao Wu had been left behind.
Oscar even wondered: if Tang San learned that Xiao Wu's true identity was that of a spirit beast in human form, would he still dare to leave her in Shrek Academy?
Later, while arranging training for everyone, Oscar noticed something unusual: Xiao Wu wore a special scented pouch.
Strictly speaking, it wasn't the pouch itself that was special, but the herb inside it Concealment Grass. Its only function was to completely suppress a spirit beast's aura, making them indistinguishable from humans. Even a Titled Douluo might not notice the disguise.
This discovery surprised Oscar, because in the original story, Xiao Wu never carried such a thing. It was likely a result of his own interference.
After all, he had given Flender and the others Whale Glue and Nine Grade Hunyuan Pills, helping them break through to the Contra realm earlier. Flender, being Yu Xiaogang's friend, probably shared the good news.
Yu Xiaogang then passed it on to Tang Hao or perhaps Tang Hao personally investigated, learned that his son would study at Shrek, and discovered Flender and Oscar's teacher's strength.
Thus, Tang Hao gave Xiao Wu the Concealment Grass to hide her identity. That grass was likely a relic of the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin.
Regardless, this had little to do with Oscar.
Although he had no fondness for Xiao Wu, he was willing to pretend ignorance as long as her identity wasn't exposed.
But if she revealed herself, Oscar wouldn't miss the chance to act.
He never considered himself a good person. After all, "bleeding hearts don't live long."
So even after discovering the Concealment Grass, he said nothing and continued training as usual.
That morning, Oscar gathered everyone at the academy's battle arena to prepare for real combat practice and to let Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu get acquainted with the senior students.
Tang San had already left. Beforehand, Oscar gave him several Swift Wind Sausage to ensure safety, telling him that if he ran into trouble, he could always return or even bring Yu Xiaogang to confront him.
Hearing Oscar's genuine concern, Tang San felt even more determined to question Yu Xiaogang directly.
The others didn't ask about Tang San. Once assembled, Oscar said to Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu:
"You two should give a detailed self introduction, so everyone can get familiar with each other. That will also help me make your training plans."
At his words, Ning Rongrong cheerfully stepped forward:
"My name is Ning Rongrong, from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. My spirit is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. I'm twelve years old, level 26, support type. My first skill boosts strength by 30%, my second boosts speed by 30%. I hope you'll all take care of me!"
She was lively and open, nothing like the spoiled brat from the original story, which delighted Oscar.
Xiao Wu, though still upset about Tang San's departure, followed with her introduction:
"My name is Xiao Wu. I came from Notting Academy with Third Brother. My spirit is the Soft Bone Charming Rabbit, assault type. My first skill, Waist Bow, is a close range attack. Unless the enemy has extraordinary defense or is at least five levels higher than me, if I get close, this skill can severely injure them. My second skill, Charm, is a control ability that can enchant opponents."
Hearing their detailed introductions, the group nodded. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda truly deserved its reputation as the strongest support spirit. At just level 26, Ning Rongrong could already provide a 30% boost to both strength and speed.
As she grew stronger, her buffs would only increase in power and variety.
The only drawback was that the Pagoda could bear only seven spirit rings, capping its users at Spirit Saint. Their spirit power could continue to rise, but they couldn't add more rings.
Still, this limitation gave the Pagoda terrifying strength: with each new ring, all buffs increased by 10%. With a 10% base boost, by the time the Pagoda reached seven rings, its buffs could reach a staggering 80%.
This was why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was considered the continent's number one support spirit, and why the sect stood among the exalted Upper Three Sects.
Even at Titled Douluo level, its buffs could nearly double a soul master's power!
After praising Ning Rongrong, Oscar turned serious toward Xiao Wu:
"Xiao Wu, why is your role categorized as assault type? With your spirit's traits, you're better suited as an agility type with control, cutting into the backline. That would be the best path. Why did you choose the assault route?"
Xiao Wu replied, "That was Master's suggestion, based on my first skill. But I think whether it's agility or assault, it doesn't really matter I can still perform well."
Oscar gave her a knowing look and said, "It's fine if you see it that way. Your first skill does have explosive power. If you can close in, you're deadly to enemy support types."
"But right now, you lack a gap closer. Your second skill, Charm, helps you approach, but it's not enough for sudden close combat."
His gaze sharpened. "So my advice: for your third ring, choose a beast with teleportation. If your third skill grants teleport, then combined with your first skill's burst, you'll become a terrifying assassin type soul master."
Xiao Wu stared in shock. Oscar's suggestion fit her situation perfectly.
In her mind, no one knew her true spirit beast identity not even Tang San. She thought the pouch he gave her was just a keepsake, not realizing it contained Concealment Grass.
So she believed Oscar's insight came purely from his knowledge, and her respect for him grew. Compared to Yu Xiaogang, Oscar seemed far more helpful.
Oscar, of course, suggested this because in the original story, Xiao Wu's third skill really was Teleportation a perfect match for her first skill.
Though he found it odd that a rabbit could have skills like teleport, invincibility, intangibility, and charm, that was just how her character was set up. No wonder she eventually sacrificed herself for Tang San, giving him several "cheat" abilities.
Still shocked, Xiao Wu replied blankly, "I understand, Senior. I'll follow your advice."
Inwardly, she even felt grateful. With this reason, she no longer had to make excuses when she obtained her next ring she could simply say it was recommended by Oscar.
Thinking this, she felt Yu Xiaogang was truly useless. If he had guided her like this, she wouldn't have to deceive Tang San.
Unaware of the impact of his words, Oscar continued,
"Now, everyone introduce your abilities to the new juniors. Starting this afternoon, I'll adjust the training plans. You two must take it seriously."
He added firmly:
"Let me be clear: although you've entered the academy, whether you can stay depends on your future attitude. I don't care about your background or talent. If you fail to complete the training, you are unqualified. And unqualified students leave Shrek!"
"Do you understand?"
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, knowing he was speaking to them, weren't intimidated.
They replied in unison:
"Understood! We will prove that we have the ability to stay at Shrek Academy!"
