Time passed quickly, and half a year had gone by. During this time, Oscar went through many things, or more precisely, his avatar experienced a lot.
The most important event was his teacher, Ge Yue. Two months ago, Ge Yue and Dugu Bo had returned from the sea region, both full of vigor and energy.
The reason for this was that during their journey, Ge Yue and Dugu Bo had joined forces to successfully hunt a hundred thousand year old Golden Swordfish, which became Ge Yue's ninth soul ring.
A hundred thousand year old soul ring this was the first time anyone on the continent had seen one. The few who still possessed such rings had already secluded themselves.
After absorbing the Golden Swordfish's soul ring, Ge Yue's strength grew dramatically. In terms of soul power, he had already reached level 93.
Yes, level 93.
When Dugu Bo heard Ge Yue's soul power level, he was extremely shocked. Even Dugu Bo, who was at level 94, couldn't believe that Ge Yue had jumped to level 93 so suddenly. After all, throughout the history of Douluo Continent, there had never been a Title Douluo who broke through three levels after absorbing their ninth soul ring. Not even Tang Hao, the youngest Title Douluo, had achieved such progress.
For Ge Yue, however, this was expected because he had made countless preparations.
It had taken him nearly three years to break through from level 89 to level 90. During these three years, he could have easily broken through earlier, but he chose to compress his soul power and condense his first soul core.
Ge Yue's soul core was somewhat different from Dugu Bo's. When Dugu Bo condensed his poison soul core, it had already contained a poison pill with a lot of his toxic power and cultivation, making it easier for him to form the soul core.
In contrast, Ge Yue spent almost three years before successfully condensing his first soul core, which made his soul power quality far surpass most Title Douluos.
Later, he absorbed a ten thousand year old soul bone sent by Oscar's avatar, which further solidified his foundation and enhanced his strength.
Once a soul master reaches their limit, if they don't absorb new soul rings, they can accumulate soul power, which only manifests when they acquire a new soul ring.
Afterward, Ge Yue and Dugu Bo went to the sea region and killed the hundred thousand year old Golden Swordfish, which allowed Ge Yue to absorb its soul ring and soul bone. The strength of the hundred thousand year old soul ring and the soul bone was immeasurable, raising Ge Yue's soul power to level 93.
Oscar was especially happy about his teacher's progress, as Ge Yue's current talent and foundation meant he was already on track to challenge the ultimate 99thlevel Douluo. Ge Yue had taken the special Moye Sword Bamboo Pills specifically tailored for him.
Now that Ge Yue had a hundred thousand year old soul ring and soul bone, plus three other soul bones over ten thousand years old one of which was as high as seventy thousand years his potential had increased exponentially.
Before absorbing the Golden Swordfish's hundred thousand year old soul bone, Ge Yue had planned to gift it to Oscar, because Oscar had done so much for him. However, Oscar refused, saying that a soul master could only truly maximize the potential of a soul ring and soul bone if they absorbed both from the same soul beast.
Ge Yue's talent was already among the top in Douluo Continent, and with the hundred thousand year soul ring and soul bone, his future was even more promising.
Oscar, with his own talent and strength, also believed that he would never lack hundred thousand year soul rings or soul bones in the future.
Ge Yue, after hearing this, agreed with Oscar's reasoning and stopped insisting, thinking about how to help his disciple in the future.
Thus, after absorbing the Golden Swordfish's hundred thousand year old soul ring and soul bone, Ge Yue's soul power jumped directly to level 93, making Dugu Bo envious.
Aside from this, there were also matters related to the three clans of Breaking, Control, and Agility. Over the past half year, they secretly established a sect within the Sunset Forest, near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
Though the construction was done in secrecy, with Dugu Bo's poison formation guarding the area, no one dared to step in. Within just half a year, the foundation and initial stages of the Frost Sword Sect had been completed, with one third of the work done by the Yu Clan.
However, construction had stalled recently due to a lack of funds. The next phase of construction required a substantial amount of money and resources. Without enough support, progress would slow.
Some might ask, "Your Frost Sword Sect's courier and tavern businesses are already spread across the continent. Why is money an issue?"
The problem, however, was that maintaining such a massive operation required astronomical sums of money. Moreover, the Sword Sect was still new, and the ten million Soul Coins they had accumulated could barely cover the costs of the foundation.
Given that the sect's location encompassed the entire mountain where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye resided, the costs were far more immense than anyone could imagine.
Facing this impending financial crisis, Oscar quickly began strategizing. Money could be obtained, but he aimed to maximize the benefit, so a careful plan was necessary.
Meanwhile, Oscar had been in closed door training at the academy for half a year. His soul power was about to break through level 50, and upon sensing the breakthrough was near, he entered seclusion.
Three days later, early in the morning, Oscar sat crosslegged in his room. His soul power formed a cyclone around him, and his robe fluttered. His handsome face remained calm.
As the first rays of sunlight shone down, Oscar's soul power suddenly erupted. It rapidly expanded, and the pressure of his level 50 soul power swept through the room.
When the aura settled, Oscar slowly opened his eyes, and a smile spread across his face.
"Finally, level 50."
Oscar stood up, cracking his knuckles as the sound echoed in the room. Feeling the surge of power within, he looked out the window at the sunlight, his heart filled with joy.
At fifteen years old, reaching level 50 was a feat that surpassed 99.9% of soul masters. Only Ma Hongjun, who was currently 13 and had reached level 48, might surpass him in the future.
However, in terms of actual combat strength, Ma Hongjun still wouldn't be a match for Oscar.
Although Oscar usually copied various martial spirits for training, his greatest strength and expertise still lay in swordsmanship.
Now, he had completely mastered his sword intent. With continued progress, Oscar could reach the level that Ge Yue only achieved at the age of thirty before he turned twenty.
Oscar's talent in both cultivation and swordsmanship was unmatched. Ge Yue, already at the pinnacle of the soul master world, considered Oscar's swordsmanship talent the strongest he had ever seen.
Even the legendary Sword Master Chen Xin might not surpass him.
Despite only being at level 93, Ge Yue was on track to surpass Chen Xin in the future.
For now, however, Ge Yue still needed time to grow and wasn't yet a match for Chen Xin.
Oscar's next goal was to acquire a fifth soul ring. He already had a plan for it.
He left his dormitory and headed to the plaza, where everyone gathered around.
"Boss, have you broken through to level 50?" Ma Hongjun asked.
Oscar nodded. "Yes, I'll go for my fifth soul ring tomorrow."
Dugu Yan smiled and stepped forward. "Do you need me to come with you?"
Oscar shook his head. "No, I'll go with the teacher. I'll be back soon."
Dugu Yan nodded and didn't say anything further.
Half a year had passed, and everyone at Shrek Academy had made significant progress. Everyone had broken through by at least two levels.
Especially Ning Rongrong, who had reached level 31 after breaking through level 30 and obtaining her third soul ring.
The current soul power levels of Shrek Academy students were:
Dugu Yan, Martial Spirit: Blue Scaled Dragon Emperor, 19 years old, level 56
Oscar, Martial Spirit: Supreme Sausage (Sky Green Jade Sword), 15 years old, level 50
Ma Hongjun, Martial Spirit: Evil Fire Phoenix, 13 years old, level 48
Dai Mubai, Martial Spirit: White Tiger, 16 years old, level 44
Zhu Zhuqing, Martial Spirit: Ghostly Spirit Cat, 13 years old, level 34
Tang San, Martial Spirit: Blue Silver Grass (Clear Sky Hammer), 13 years old, level 33
Xiao Wu, Martial Spirit: Soft Bone Enchanting Rabbit, 13 years old, level 33
Ning Rongrong, Martial Spirit: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile, 13 years old, level 31
Before leaving the academy, Oscar asked for permission from Flender and others and gave three pieces of thousand year old Whale Gel to Tang San, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu.
When Tang San and the others learned that this was the secret to Oscar's success in absorbing higherlevel soul rings, they were shocked.
After a year of learning, even Ning Rongrong, who wasn't fond of studying, knew how valuable Whale Gel was.
With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's power, Ning Rongrong could easily gather Whale Gel.
