"Big Bone Pig, four hundred years old."
Yuan Xunlu waved and grabbed the piglet.
"Not very fierce, huh? Why are you all so scared?"
"We were...we were...we were just...very nervous."
Oscar saw Yuan Ling'er's murderous gaze and ultimately didn't go into details about when they were in the toilet.
"I'm here, don't be nervous." Yuan Xunlu comforted him.
"..." Oscar.
That's what you said when we went there,
and if we hadn't been forced to pull up our pants and run back crying, we might be dead.
"The Big Bone Pig should be the father of this family. Okay, now the whole family is together."
Yuan Xunlu handed Oscar a knife. "The Big Bone Pig is very nutritious, has a gentle temperament, and since pigs are a staple food for ordinary people, it should be very suitable for your Sausage Martial Soul. Absorb it."
"Ah? Oh, okay." Oscar didn't expect that after eating a meal and going to the toilet, he would obtain his first Soul Ring.
A-Jie stood to the side, shedding tears of envy.
Yuan Xunlu noticed A-Jie's envy and explained, "You and Xiao-Ao are different. He's a food-type Soul Master, while you're a power-attack type Soul Master. The Giant Bone Pig suits him, not you."
"Hmm."
Oscar glanced at Yuan Xunlu, and under Yuan Xunlu's guidance, ended the Giant Bone Pig's life with a single strike, then absorbed its Soul Ring.
Having a powerful force is great;
a problem that couldn't be solved for two years was resolved in one night.
"Uncle Yuan, I discovered something else." A-Jie raised his hands and reported to Yuan Xunlu, "This Giant Bone Pig has wounds on its body, wounds left by Soul Beast bites."
"Hmm?" Yuan Xunlu looked at it and confirmed it.
"Can you tell me how you provoked this pig?"
...
...
Rewinding to a few minutes earlier,
Oscar and A-Jie found a small grove of trees and squatted down,
a little distance apart
.
"A-Jie, from now on I'll call you Brother Jie." Oscar, having nothing to do, struck up a conversation with A-Jie beside him.
"But you're eight years old, and I'm only six." A-Jie was a little uncomfortable with Oscar's enthusiasm.
Oscar, having heard storytellers before, cupped his hands and said, "Heroes don't ask about origins, and brave men don't adhere to etiquette."
Coupled with his captivating eyes, he truly possessed the air of an ancient scholar.
"Brother Jie, I want to ask... why is Yuan Ling'er ignoring me?"
"You offended her."
"How did I offend her?"
"I don't know." Brother Jie was clueless about such intricacies. "She probably doesn't like you. Maybe saying something nice to her will solve the problem." Oscar pondered
, "I see."
"Oscar?" Brother Jie suddenly called out, "I think I saw a fluctuation of soul power ahead."
"Uh?" Oscar was a little nervous at Brother Jie's shout.
Although a sudden fluctuation of soul power in this desolate wilderness was normal,
he was timid.
"It's coming."
"What is it?"
"A soul beast!!!"
"Pull up your pants! Pull up your pants!"
After recounting the whole incident, Yuan Xunlu subconsciously ignored their pants-pulling-up-the-pants incident and told Brother Jie to quickly wash his hands.
"I'll go see what kind of soul beast it is," Yuan Xunlu said to A-Jie, who was still washing his hands.
After saying that, Yuan Xunlu flew into the sky to search for the soul beast.
A-Jie watched Yuan Xunlu fly up and then fly back.
"What's wrong?" Yuan Ling'er asked.
If there was a soul beast, Yuan Xunlu could have caught it directly; there was no need to fly down.
Yuan Xunlu said listlessly, "It's a wolf-type soul beast, it uses an agility-based attack style, not suitable for this little fatso."
A-Jie was disappointed again.
"It's okay, that's how hunting soul beasts is, it's normal."
Soul hunting
is a time-consuming and laborious task.
Take Yuan Xunlu's eighth soul ring as an example.
At that time, the Spirit Hall sent a group of people to search in various forests.
More than half a year later, many people died before the Spirit Hall finally focused on hunting the pure-blooded giant dragon in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Then, a Title Douluo escorted Yuan Xunlu into the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
It took them three days to find the pure-blooded dragon's lair;
two days to wait for the dragon to return;
seven days to wound and hunt it down; and
more than ten days to finally kill it.
It's abnormal for someone like Tang San, who can summon any soul beast he desires. Yuan
Xunlu yawned, "I'll keep watch tonight, you guys sleep."
Yuan Ling'er and A-Jie set up two tents, one for each person,
while Yuan Xunlu
used the sky as his blanket and the ground as his bed.
Oscar estimated it wouldn't be finished absorbing the energy in a few hours.
The night passed without incident,
but there were mosquitoes.
As the morning sun shone on Oscar, he couldn't help but yell,
"Aww~ Awesome!"
Yuan Ling'er crawled out of the tent, her face displeased, and asked, "What are you yelling about?"
"I have a spirit ring!"
Oscar released his spirit, a yellow spirit ring appearing on his hand. He chuckled, "Little Oscar has a big sausage."
Yuan Xunlu waited a while, seeing nothing appear in Oscar's hand. After waiting
a bit longer,
Yuan Xunlu began to doubt if there was something wrong with Oscar's spirit,
so he asked,
"Where's the sausage?"
Oscar smiled shyly, "I only recited my spirit incantation once, the spirit ring didn't even light up, I didn't release any spirit skill."
"Then what kind of spirit ring did you release!"
Yuan Ling'er cursed. She had originally wanted to witness the power of the future God of Food Douluo, but...
this?
Was he just playing with her?!
"Little Oscar has a big sausage."
Oscar quickly released his spirit skill, and a large sausage appeared in Oscar's hand.
It looked a bit like the red sausage Yuan Xunlu had eaten in his previous life, but much larger.
"After absorbing the Great Bone Pig's spirit ring, my spirit skill is the Healing Sausage, with a shelf life of one day.
Its effect is comprehensive recovery, promoting wound healing, restoring stamina and spirit power, relieving fatigue, and most importantly—
it fills your stomach!"
Yuan Xunlu nodded, expressing his appreciation.
The future of food-type spirit masters lies in the army and in war. The army needs large quantities of food to satisfy hunger, which is quite good.
However, the shelf life isn't long. Oh well, once you become stronger, the shelf life should be much longer.
"Um...can it stop itching?" A-Jie emerged from the tent at some point, his face covered in red bumps and scratches.
"It does help."
Oscar looked at A-Jie's bright red bumps and scratches and couldn't help but ask, "What happened to you?"
"Yesterday, there were mosquitoes." A-Jie succinctly explained.
He took Oscar's Healing Sausage and swallowed it whole. Soon, the swelling subsided, and the scratches disappeared.
Yuan Xunlu nodded, "If you sell this 'Recovery Sausage' as Liushen (a traditional Chinese medicine), it should be very effective."
"Liushen?" Yuan Ling'er remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was startled and looked at Yuan Xunlu.
Did her father also know about the god-level stuff?
The tester, A-Jie, gave a thumbs up, his chubby face beaming, "It relieves itching and swelling, isn't that what floral water is all about? And it even helps with scars."
"..." Yuan Ling'er.
So it was Liushen brand floral water.
"But it can't be hung up to repel mosquitoes, what a pity."
Actually, the original modified version of floral water was created by Yuan Xunlu.
The first generation of floral water was made by Yuan Xunlu mixing some anti-itch and mosquito-repellent herbs with alcohol. It had a strong smell and a powerful effect, but most people couldn't use it; the
smell was too overpowering. Some even drank it like medicinal wine.
Later, this guy from Juhua Guan improved the formula of the first generation of floral water, thus producing floral water.
However, it's a heavily modified version. Aside from the scent, it's very similar to the floral water from Yuan Xunlu's previous life; the ingredients and effects are completely different.
Watching A-Jie and Yuan Xunlu discuss whether it could repel mosquitoes and relieve itching,
Oscar fell into deep thought .
"I remember,
my martial soul was a sausage, wasn't it?"
Thank you all for your support~
Regarding Oscar's soul skill, I didn't use the original line.
It's not a modification, but I think the original soul incantation was a very low-level, lewd joke.
It was too simple, neither funny nor did it have the feel of a dirty joke. It was like a young male kid joking around when he didn't understand sex.
I don't think the sentence itself was funny, and most people wouldn't think that way the first time they heard it (if you do think that way the first time, I hope you'll instantly understand a problem you're facing at work or school next time [doge]).
So I changed it like this.
