Chapitre 116: Chapter 116: Su Ming: Oscar's Third Soul Skill is Too Mediocre!
Then, Flender continued, "Since Oscar has broken through to level 30, today's task is simple: everyone must eat one of Oscar's sausages!"
Oscar's peach blossom eyes gleamed as he looked at the group before him.
Hearing this, the three girls immediately showed expressions of disgust.
Flender noticed their reluctance and added, "No matter what, you all have to eat it today. Tomorrow, during the journey, you'll need Oscar's sausages to replenish your strength, so you should get used to it today."
"And besides, while the process of making Oscar's sausages might seem a bit... indecent, the taste and effect are undeniably good. You can't just refuse to eat them forever!"
Flender stood there, his face stern and uncompromising, making it clear that no one would be able to get out of it.
Oscar, on the other hand, was overjoyed, a mischievous glint in his eyes. He was practically bursting with excitement, mentally thanking Flender. Not only would this gain him some recognition, but it also gave him a strange sense of satisfaction.
Although pursuing Ning Rongrong seemed hopeless now, the thought of her eating one of his sausages was enough to thrill him (as he thought in the original).
Oscar rubbed his hands together, muttering his incantation under his breath.
"Your daddy's got a big sausage."
"Your daddy's got a small sausage."
With a mischievous grin, Oscar held out two sausages, one thick and one thin. "So, who's going first?"
The three girls immediately turned their eyes toward Su Ming. Su Ming spoke up, "You three don't need to eat these. When the time comes, I'll use my fourth soul skill to restore your stamina."
With that, Su Ming stepped forward, grabbed Oscar's sausages, and without hesitation, ate them. Surprisingly, they tasted pretty good—savory sausages. Su Ming quickly ate both sausages and stared directly at Oscar, the message clear: there's no way the girls are going to eat these.
As for the other guys, they didn't care as much. It wasn't a big deal to them.
After finishing, Su Ming wiped his mouth and said, "Dean, since they don't want to eat Oscar's sausages, let's just leave it. Tomorrow, when they need to replenish their strength, I'll handle it."
Flender's face twitched slightly. Once again, it was Su Ming causing trouble. Even getting them to eat a sausage was a challenge! But remembering the appearance of Bone Douluo a few days ago, Flender was much more patient. "Su Ming, if I'm not mistaken, your support ability is from your fourth soul skill, right? You're only a Soul Ancestor, so you can't keep using it for long. Oscar's sausages would be more reliable for tomorrow."
Su Ming calmly replied, "Dean, as you said, we still have Oscar's sausages. We men can eat them, and they can help replenish my soul power as well."
Ning Rongrong quickly chimed in, "I can also use the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to restore Su Ming's soul power!"
Seeing the girls' firm refusal, along with Su Ming backing them up, Flender could only sigh in defeat. "Fine, do as you please. But Su Ming won't always be around to help you. Eventually, you'll need to eat Oscar's sausages."
With that, Flender left, somewhat exasperated. Oscar, feeling disheartened that none of the girls ate his sausages, looked dejected.
In the diary, Ning Rongrong started chatting with Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, "Do you believe what Su Ming said?"
Xiao Wu responded, "Of course not. Su Ming's third soul skill can already speed up soul power recovery, and his second skill can restore soul power too. I bet he could use his fourth soul skill all day if he wanted."
Zhu Zhuqing added, "Even so, Su Ming can't reveal that. After all, he's only a Soul Ancestor. Normally, a fourth soul skill should consume a lot of soul power. So, Ning Rongrong, you should still help restore his soul power tomorrow."
In the end, everyone except the three girls ate Oscar's sausages before heading back to their dorms to prepare for the trip.
Su Ming, however, wasn't in any rush to pack. There wasn't much to prepare—he had everything he needed, and if he needed shelter, he could easily make one with his wood abilities.
Then, Su Ming began writing his diary.
Su Ming's Diary Entry:
"Today, Oscar finally reached level 30, and tomorrow we'll be heading to the Star Dou Forest to help him and Tang San obtain their third soul rings."
"Today's task was for everyone to eat Oscar's sausages, but Xiao Wu, Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing were all reluctant. Naturally, I couldn't let them eat it, so after a bit of back-and-forth with Flender, they didn't have to. Us guys ate the sausages instead."
"If Oscar even dares to get the wrong idea, I'll break him in half."
At this moment, Oscar, alone in his dorm, suddenly shivered, feeling like something bad was about to happen.
Su Ming's Diary Entry (continued):
"I originally thought about suggesting Oscar find a better soul beast for his third ring, but now I've given up on that. Since I don't plan on taking him as a subordinate, what happens to him isn't my concern."
"In the original story, Oscar's third soul ring came from a thousand-year-old Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake. This soul beast has little attack power, with its only advantage being its ability to fly at high speeds. After absorbing its ring, Oscar's sausage allowed the user to fly for a minute at the snake's speed."
The three girls reading the diary were surprised. They knew that the Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake was fast, and a soul skill allowing someone to fly at such speeds for a minute seemed impressive.
But clearly, Su Ming didn't think much of this skill.
Su Ming's Diary Entry (continued):
"In the early stages, this ability is indeed pretty useful. The Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake is fast, so flying at its speed for a minute isn't bad."
"But in the long run, this skill is pretty mediocre. After all, the duration is only a minute. In both battles and real-life situations, most fights last longer than a minute, making this skill only good for emergencies."
"Moreover, strong soul masters can fly on their own as they get stronger. So later on, this flying sausage becomes almost useless. It just takes up a valuable soul skill slot."
The girls all agreed that while the ability seemed good early on, Su Ming's critique made sense. A skill with such a short duration would quickly become a liability in prolonged battles or later stages of their journey.
