Hearing Gai Yue's words, Oscar directly explained his Soul skill's effects.
"Teacher, my third Soul skill is the flight effect I anticipated. After consuming my third Soul skill, one can fly for fifteen minutes, and at the speed of a Point-Tailed Swift for fifteen minutes."
"With my current strength, that's equivalent to the full-speed flight of a roughly seven-thousand-year level Point-Tailed Swift for fifteen minutes. In the future, as my strength improves, the third Soul skill's flight speed will also increase accordingly."
Hearing Oscar's words, both Gai Yue and Shao Xin were stunned on the spot. If Oscar hadn't brought them so many surprises already, they definitely would have directly exclaimed "Holy shit!"
The reason was simple: all three of Oscar's Soul skills were continuously improvable, meaning the Soul skill effects could increase as his strength improved.
This point was terrifying. Most support-type soul masters' Soul skills couldn't do this. The few who could absolutely didn't have improvement effects as dramatic as Oscar's.
If calculating based on Oscar's own strength improvement, wouldn't his first Soul skill in the future be able to continuously restore soul power, physical strength, injuries, and mental power even for a Titled Douluo?
And his second Soul skill after Oscar broke through to Titled Douluo—couldn't it neutralize even the deadly poison of hundred-thousand-year soul beasts and Titled Douluos?
The third Soul skill could let a soul master directly possess the flight speed of a hundred-thousand-year Point-Tailed Swift? Wouldn't that far exceed a Titled Douluo?
One had to know that a fifty-thousand-year level Point-Tailed Swift's flight speed already exceeded hundred-thousand-year level soul beasts, let alone a hundred-thousand-year level Point-Tailed Swift's speed!
And this continent seemed to have no hundred-thousand-year level Point-Tailed Swifts, right? So didn't that mean Oscar's Soul skill alone could create the fastest-flying soul master on the continent?
Although these prerequisites all required Oscar to cultivate to level ninety, given Oscar's current talent, level ninety was definitely not the endpoint.
Didn't that mean that in the future, one of Oscar's Soul skills would be enough to change a soul master's strength? Give them terrifying strength to fight above their level?
If this was the case, Oscar's future in the support system should have already surpassed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
Thinking of this, it was no wonder Gai Yue and Shao Xin were shocked. Oscar himself, although not so amazed, was still very satisfied with the Soul skill's effects.
After all, relying solely on his third Soul ring now, not only could he fly for fifteen minutes, but his speed would also surpass a level fifty flying Soul King. This flight speed was much faster than his sword flight!
Although Oscar's sword flight didn't consume much soul power, the flight speed was about the same as a flying soul master at the same level. And if a same-level flying soul master used a Soul skill, Oscar's sword flight speed naturally couldn't compare.
So this flight skill obtained from the third Soul ring undoubtedly gave Oscar tremendous escape ability. Encountering danger, he could quickly flee using this Soul skill.
However, surprised as they were, Gai Yue and Shao Xin weren't experiencing this for the first time. After all, Oscar had brought them too many surprises.
Besides the powerful Soul skill and level thirty-three soul power, after absorbing this sixty-seven hundred year Soul ring, Oscar's physical constitution had directly reached the critical point between Soul Ancestor and Soul King.
Oscar could confirm that next time he broke through, his physical constitution would reach Soul King level.
His spiritual power, because it had reached level thirty-plus Soul Venerable degree since his transmigration, was also currently at the same level as his physical constitution.
In other words, Oscar's spiritual power had also reached the threshold for Soul Ancestor breaking through to Soul King. Next time he broke through, his spiritual power would similarly reach Soul King level.
This meant that even without external aid—that is, immortal-grade spirit herbs—Oscar's fourth Soul ring could absorb a ten-thousand-year level Soul ring.
So this powerful spiritual power was undoubtedly the biggest cheat Oscar had obtained since transmigrating.
And it seemed precisely because of this powerful spiritual power that the current Oscar lacked many of the original story's restrictions.
For example, the obscene Soul skill incantations and the halved effect when consuming his own Soul skills were all gone.
The current Oscar was far more powerful than the original, and the effort he had put in was something the original Oscar couldn't even compare to.
After understanding Oscar's improvement and Soul skill, Shao Xin handed the already-roasted Point-Tailed Swift meat to Oscar, letting him replenish properly.
Because of the Point-Tailed Swift's special flight speed, its meat was incomparably firm and delicious. Eating it was not only chewy but also lingered in one's memory.
After eating the barbecue, Oscar began cultivating again, familiarizing himself with his improved strength. It wasn't until the next morning that Gai Yue led him to obtain Shao Xin's seventh Soul ring.
Shao Xin was now at level seventy and needed at least a thirty-thousand-year or so Soul ring. Because Shao Xin had also consumed whale gelatin to improve his physical constitution back then, his seventh Soul ring could completely absorb one of around forty-five thousand years. So they inevitably had to enter Sunset Forest's core region.
The location of the Point-Tailed Swift clan captured for Oscar earlier was only adjacent to Sunset Forest's core region. After all, although Point-Tailed Swifts had peerless speed, their attack power was basically at the bottom among those at the same level, so naturally they wouldn't go deep into the core region.
But now the Soul ring Shao Xin needed reached forty-five thousand years. This required going deeper into Sunset Forest.
Fortunately, Sunset Forest was said to have no hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. If that was the case, Gai Yue protecting Oscar and Shao Xin was no problem at all, so safety concerns weren't an issue.
Thinking of going deep into the core region, Oscar couldn't help thinking of a treasure land in this Sunset Forest—also a place Oscar dreamed of.
This treasure land was precisely the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. According to the original story's timeline, Dugu Bo should have already occupied this place by now. So even if Oscar's group found this place on this trip, they might not be able to enter.
Because the original story described that Dugu Bo, to prevent this treasure land from being discovered by outsiders, had set up a terrifying poison array outside. Anyone below Titled Douluo entering would die.
Even though Gai Yue was more powerful than ordinary Soul Douluos, with his current strength, facing Dugu Bo's poison, he still had no solution.
Although Oscar's second Soul skill could neutralize poison, it could only neutralize poison at his same level.
And the second Soul skill's miraculous effect of ignoring level to grant immunity to negative effects didn't include deadly poison.
So although Oscar quite wanted to get lucky and find the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well on this trip, with his current strength, he couldn't enter the poison array.
Unless he was given medicinal ingredients of sufficient quality—then Oscar could configure an antidote. But medicinal ingredients that could neutralize Titled Douluo-level deadly poison probably only existed within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in this world.
