  Oscar’s face revealed a cold smile, the muscles of his legs suddenly bracing.

  With sonorous sounds, six crossbow bolts shot from his thighs practically simultaneously.

  Hidden weapons had to be sudden. Right now the Godly Zhuge Crossbow in his hands was just raised, how could those two agility attack type Spirit Masters anticipate that he could actually make such an attack with his thighs? In haste, there was no time to attack Oscar, because he also didn’t know how powerful Oscar’s crossbow bolts were. Both hands clapping the ground hard, forcefully changing his forward momentum, speedily flipping over and moving away.

  Despite this, he still only dodged three crossbow bolts. The other three still resolutely struck his defensive spirit ability, issuing a series of cracking sounds.

  This agility attack type Spirit Emperor really was outstanding. In midair, his fourth spirit ability brightened, two intangible wings appearing behind his back. Even though these wings of his weren’t enough to fly, they could still change his direction, suddenly twisting in the air, he arrived above Oscar. Right now, his heart was already extremely regretful, both hands simultaneously scratching at Oscar’s head.

  The other Spirit Emperor just arrived from the side. His distance to Oscar was also only five meters. Undoubtedly, to Oscar, this should be a certain death situation.

  Just at this moment, Oscar suddenly made a motion that left the two uncomprehending. Shifting the Godly Zhuge Crossbow to his left hand, he sharply raised his right hand, blocking the two palms scratching towards his head. Simultaneously he raised his right foot, forcefully stomping on the ground. In an instant, his six spirit rings flared practically simultaneously, and moreover changed to a weird gray.

  The change that appeared immediately afterward, left the two Spirit Emperors completely stupefied. Oscar’s upraised right hand suddenly grew larger without any warning, growing at least three times as large as before, his whole hand covered in a layer of snow white fur, firmly grabbing both striking palms of that midair Spirit Emperor. A great force issued, and the midair Spirit Emperor immediately felt a sharp pain in his wrists, his entire body seeming paralysed for a short moment.

  And on the other side, where Oscar’s right foot stomped on the ground, an intense shockwave brazenly spread outwards. That Spirit Emperor mounting a sneak attack from the side abruptly stiffened, his entire body only knocking against Oscar out of momentum, his brewing spirit ability forcefully interrupted.

  “Goodbye.”

  An ice cold voice issued from Oscar’s mouth. He simply swiftly lowered his head, right hand pulling downwards, a thick crossbow bolt abruptly firing from his neck, piercing perfectly straight into the throat of that Spirit Emperor in midair. And the Godly Zhuge Crossbow in his left hand once again spit out death.

  The Spirit Emperor launching the sneak attack who had his spirit abilities interrupted and bumped against him, was sent flying as his body was hit by sixteen extremely powerful crossbow bolts, already turned into a sieve. The dying Spirit Emperor in the air was unable to understand how Oscar’s techniques could change like this, how a food system Spirit Master could actually use spirit abilities similar to Snow Soul Demon Bear Spirit Sage Hao Te’s Giant Spirit Palm and Seismic Wave.

  With a swing of his right hand, the midair Spirit Emperor was flung to the ground. Oscar swayed once, his face immediately turning somewhat pale. But the light in his eyes was brimming with excitement. Killing two agility attack type Spirit Emperors was, to him, in no way as simple as just settling the current crisis. Even more important was that killing these two by relying on his own strength, signified an important shift in his Spirit Master career.

  The twenty thousand year cultivation Mirror Image Beast was just what he hoped for, it finally gave him the spirit ability that most suited his needs. Mirror Image Large Sausage.

  The effect of the mirror image sausage was copying. But when it was made it had to have the blood of a Spirit Master as basis. If the possessor of the blood had spirit power exceeding the producer, the producer could display seventy percent of the power of the spirit abilities equal to his level. If the target’s spirit power was equal to the producer, the producer could display eighty percent of the might of the blood donor’s spirit abilities.

  It could be fully used for three minutes. In other words, eating that mirror image sausage before, within three minutes, Oscar possessed the spirit abilities of Hao Te at seventy percent power as a Snow Soul Demon Bear Spirit Master.

  On the surface it seemed like this spirit ability of Oscar’s had effects out of the ordinary, he could after all duplicate all spirit abilities. But in fact, the restrictions of this spirit ability were equally large. With his present sixtieth rank, possessing seventy percent of Hao Te’s power for three minutes, was actually equivalent to just a roughly fiftieth ranked Hao Te, and those two agility attack type Spirit Masters before were actually above him in strength. The reason they were killed by him was mostly because of the unexpectedness.

  And while only using seventy percent of the spirit abilities’ might, Oscar would pay a hundred percent of the spirit power cost to support them. The spirit power required to manufacture the mirror image large sausage was even more frightful, equivalent to one third of his present spirit power to make one.

  However, to Oscar, the greatest bit of good news was that this mirror image sausage kept for a very long time. Each mirror image sausage produced could keep its effectiveness for one year. If there was a large number of high level Spirit Masters that donated blood to let him make them, under certain circumstances, he might also be considered a kind of Battle Spirit Master.

  In terms of strength, with the battle capability he possessed Oscar wasn’t scary, but the suddenness was enough to shock any opponent. Who could imagine a food system Spirit Master to suddenly possess attack power?

  Even more, back among the Shrek Seven Devils, in craftiness, Oscar was second only to Tang San. The situation just now was completely caused by his planning. Relying on the two great hidden weapons Tang San gave him, the Godly Zhuge Crossbow and the Back Tightening Flower Adorned Crossbow, as well as the suddenly appearing spirit abilities, he got rid of two Spirit Emperors in one move. Further adding the previous three he got rid of, among all the thirteen people, five were entirely killed by this food system Spirit Master.

  When Oscar returned to the other side, those four Spirit Masters were already rigidly suppressed by Hao Te. Two Spirit Kings collapsed first in a flash. When the other two Spirit Emperors saw Oscar unexpectedly return, under the great shock they didn’t have a thought about fighting. But once they wanted to flee, how would Oscar and Hao Te give them the chance?

  Relying on the obstruction of the final discharge of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow plus Hao Te’s overbearing spirit avatar, they forcibly got rid of these last two Spirit Emperors, putting an end to this unilateral massacre.

  Hao Te changed back into his original form. Even though he was naked right now, because of his connection to his spirit, he didn’t fear the cold. He looked somewhat astonished at Oscar,

  “Little Ao, you really had your wish fulfilled?”

  Oscar didn’t hide it, telling Hao Te about the sixth spirit ability he just obtained. At the same time he also pulled off his sweat soaked, already frozen stiff, clothes, and changed into a new set from his spirit tool.

  Looking at the surrounding corpses, Hao Te couldn’t help secretly sighing. Even though these hunting team members weren’t any good people, they had after all followed him for a time.

  Oscar naturally saw the disappointed expression in Hao Te’s eyes,

  “Big brother, don’t think about it. If we didn’t do it, once they discovered the spirit bone, if they started it ahead of us, I’m afraid we would be the corpses now.”

  Hao Te nodded silently. He of course knew that what Oscar said was fact, if they didn’t do it first, it would very possibly be them dead at the end.

  Especially him, the most powerful of this team, would
inevitably be the primary target of those people.

  [1] Hao Te - (浩特) “Grand unique”, also a word for nomadic camp (from the Mongolian word khot).

  [2] Snow Soul Demon Bear - (雪魄魔熊)

  Chapter 154: Blue Silver Domain’s True Power

  Part 1 (TL by Bagelson)

  Oscar pointed to the Mirror Image Beast’s corpse,

  “Big brother, extract the spirit bone quickly. I’ll gather some of their blood.”

  While speaking, Oscar pulled out some different kinds of vessels from his spirit tool. Before possessing the sixth spirit ability, he still didn’t know whether he could succeed, and naturally wouldn’t prepare much. But always being in such danger, carrying all kinds of items was very natural, and clearing out some to collect blood was still possible.

  After all, no Spirit Master would lightly give him their blood, but his sixth spirit ability still required blood as basis. Oscar had already thought it over, and using the blood of these Spirit Masters whose strength wasn’t much different from his to make some mirror image large sausages to carry with him should still be enough for self protection.

  Hao Te understood from Oscar’s actions before that his sixth spirit ability was related to blood, and right now his eyes revealed a faint gentleness. He understood that oscar wasn’t preparing to take for that spirit bone, and therefore let him collect it.

  Relying on his formidable strength, the Mirror Image Beast’s head was easily split open by Hao Te, immediately revealing the true form of the spirit bone. Oscar naturally wouldn’t see wrong, and within the Mirror Image Beast’s head was condensed a sparkling crystalline skull capable of reflecting light. The entire skull seemed made out of mirrors, the light from the outside world causing a flickering faint brilliance.

  It was heavy in his hand, special spirit power fluctuations making Hao Te’s fingertips tingle, making his eyes unconsciously display a somewhat intoxicated light. Spirit bone, who didn’t desire them? Even more when this was a skull bone, second only to a torso bone. To any Spirit Masters, these were rare and precious treasures.

  In a moment of work, Oscar had already collected the blood he needed. Returning to Hao Te’s side, his gaze also automatically fell on that mirror image skull. But in his eyes was no greed. Having obtained such a most suitable sixth spirit ability, he was already perfectly content, without any greedy thoughts. The reason he fought was that he didn’t want his life to end here.

  The intoxication in Hao Te’s eyes gradually disappeared, and clasping the spirit bone in both hands, he held it in front of Oscar,

  “Absorb it. It should be very useful to you.”

  Oscar stared blankly a moment,

  “Big brother, what are you doing? You’ve already helped me too much, I’m already very satisfied with the spirit ring, this spirit bone is what you deserve. You coming out to hunt spirit beasts, wasn’t that for the sake of this treasure?”

  Hao Te sighed,

  “Brother, don’t argue with me. Take it. It’s even more important to you than to me. The same person absorbing the spirit ring and spirit bone from the same spirit beast will have the highest effect. It’s not like you don’t understand that. Even more, this life of mine was saved by you. In these two years, even though I’ve helped you a bit, if it wasn’t for your kindness in saving me back then, how would I have the chance to help you? I owe you a life, this is just a spirit bone.”

  Oscar and Hao Te had met very randomly. That time, Hao Te had just been ambushed and severely injured by his comrades in a hunting team. Unconscious in the wilderness, he had fortunately encountered Oscar. He used the small detoxifying sausage to help cure Hao Te’s poison, and further his big recovery sausage to help him recover. When they were pursued by the enemies, they had even more relied on the flying mushroom sausage to flee into the distance, thoroughly dissolving Hao Te’s crisis at that time.

  Hao Te was a straightforward person, even though he didn’t say it out loud, in his heart he was brimming with gratitude towards the benefactor that saved his life. This was also why they two were so close, and an important reason why Oscar could completely trust him.

  “But…..”

  Oscar still wanted to say something, but Hao Te interrupted.

  “Brother, don’t say anything. Actually, I still have selfish motives in giving you this spirit bone. I’m already in my fifties. After a Spirit Master enters his sixties, increasing his strength further will be very difficult. At the end of my life, I expect my best outcome is to reach the Spirit Douluo level. But you’re different. You’re just twenty two! I’ve never seen a more outstanding food system Spirit Master than you; your future prospects are boundless. You might even reach the legendary food system Title Douluo level. You call me big brother, so in the future I’ll rely on you. If you’re more powerful, won’t my patron be even more generous?”

  Oscar of course understood that the reason Hao Te said this was in order to make him accept this spirit bone. Looking at the mirror reflective light in front of him, he couldn’t say anything further. Yes, to him, to possess a spirit bone that suited him really was far too important. This treasure that could be discovered but not sought was enough to make his strength rise another step.

  Taking the precious and heavy mirror image skull bone into both hands, Oscar no longer hesitated, and the gratified light in Hao Te’s gaze grew more concentrated. Faint silvery light released from within the mirror image skull bone, and with a peng sound, the entire spirit bone turned into a cloud of silvery currents, swiftly rushing into the seven apertures of Oscar’s head, making his entire body turn dull.

  Hao Te took a step back, spirit power condensing, cautiously and solemnly keeping watch in all directions. The corpse on the ground gradually grew cold, and amidst the reek of blood and austere atmosphere, an unprecedented food system Spirit Master matured with astonishing speed.

  ……

  Shrek Academy.

  The entire Academy was in a state of sensation since yesterday afternoon, just because of that astonishing news pasted everywhere.

  Five Shrek Seven Devils returned, carrying out an exhibition match against the two deans. In the world of Spirit Masters, the strong were always respected, and the glory brought about by the Shrek Seven Devils in those days practically couldn’t be reproduced. They not only forced their way to the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament championship, but their ages at the time also formed an everlasting record.

  Five years later, five of the Seven Devils returned, and the one most students looked forward to seeing, Tang San, was also among them. Almost all the Shrek Academy students had heard the teachers’ account of Tang San’s display in the tournament back then, especially the final match, when he pulled hard against the tide in the finals versus the Spirit Hall Academy team, prevailing over the opponent, gaining the ultimate prize.

  At least on the surface, even Spirit Hall had no way to deal with him, because he didn’t offend any of Spirit Hall’s laws.

  Each of the Shrek Seven Devils was a legendary character to these common students. They had returned, and would moreover still carry out an exhibition match with two deans, what kind of inspiring and exciting major event was this!?

  In fact, the two deans were now Spirit Douluo over the eightieth rank. At such a competition one could naturally view extremely dazzling super spirit abilities. This was a great event low level Spirit Masters yearned for even in their dreams.

  The students excitedly guessed the results of the match, recalling their teachers talking about the past deeds of the Shrek Seven Devils. And on the Academy’s side, the preparations underway built the tension. The location for the exhibition match was the heart of the great forest behind the Academy. This place was requested by Tang San and the others.

  “Erlong, you’ve really killed me. Don’t you know just how abnormal those little monsters are? What’s more, I’m a grand and magnificent lord dean, how can I go out easily?”

  Flender g
lared resentfully at Liu Erlong in front of him.

  Liu Erlong snorted,

  “Then how about this, I’ll leave all future Academy affairs to you, and I’ll do the exhibition match today, how about it?”

  “Eh, this…..”

  Flender was immediately somewhat at a loss for words.

  Liu Erlong snapped:

  “Day after day you seem like a great idler these days, not doing any work at all. You should also make some effort for the Academy. Give the students a performance, show them your strength, let their students properly recognize their lord dean.”

  Flender said with a bitter face:

  “But, you’re not unaware of those five little monsters’ strength. If it was five common sixtieth rank Spirit Masters, fighting a bit would be nothing. I’d have some certainty. But these five little monsters aren’t ordinary. Four of the five have spirit bones. Mubai and Zhuqing’s spirit fusion ability alone is enough to cause trouble alone. Let alone when there are another three little monsters circling the rear. It’s no good, I’ll definitely be humiliated.”

  Liu Erlong grinned, saying:

  “Didn’t I arrange for you and Zhao Wuji both? I’m not leaving it on you alone.”

  Flender stared blankly,

  “Don’t tell me your setup isn’t for us to go up alternately?”

  Liu Erlong said grandiosely:

  “Of course not, I’ve planned for you two to go up together. Don’t tell me I still don’t know how tremendous Tang San and the others are? You’re still my boss, I couldn’t let you lose face.”

  Hearing this, Flender immediately relaxed a lot, laughing loudly:

  “You really are worthy of being my good little sister. En, two people is good, two people is good! No matter how astonishing those five little monsters are, they still won’t escape this old man’s palm.”

  Liu Erlong looked at him with a disdainful expression:
