Chapter 266 Damn, it's all rolled up!
Upon hearing Oscar's words, Yu Xiaogang's first reaction was disbelief.
His brow furrowed, his mind filled with doubt. Could this be real? Oscar had only recently acquired his third spirit ring. How long had it been? Less than two months, right? In less than two months, Oscar had already broken through to level forty. How could this be? If he truly possessed such talent, how could Oscar still be a Spirit Master at thirteen? He'd probably be a Spirit Emperor by now, wouldn't he?
Of course, the people who were most incredulous at the time were Flander and Zhao Wuji.
They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief. After all, Oscar had practically been raised by Zhao Wuji and Flander, and they knew his capabilities better than anyone.
They remembered Oscar's clumsiness as a child, his excitement when he first summoned his martial soul, his frustration after each failure and his joy after each success. How could they believe that this child they had watched grow up had actually broken through to level 40 in just two months!
However, Oscar's face was completely serious. His eyes were firm, without a trace of jest.
Flander immediately stepped forward to probe Oscar's soul power, wanting to personally confirm whether Oscar had reached level forty. He reached out and gently placed his hand on Oscar's shoulder, closed his eyes, and began to sense the flow of soul power within Oscar's body. His brow furrowed slightly, as if trying to discern the strength of Oscar's soul power.
"This, how is this possible!"
Flander's voice trembled; he could hardly believe what he was feeling. His own light was fixed on Oscar, as if trying to see right through him.
"Level 40! He actually broke through to level 40!" Flander's tone was filled with shock and disbelief.
At this moment, Flander looked at Oscar as if he were looking at a monster. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, even some unspeakable fear. Oscar's breakthrough seemed to have shattered all his knowledge and expectations.
Upon hearing Flander's words, Ma Hongjun's mouth dropped open in astonishment. His expression froze, as if he were frozen in that moment. He pointed at Oscar, his finger trembling slightly, but he couldn't utter a word.
No, buddy, how presumptuous of you! We clearly agreed to quit together, how come you secretly ran off with us! You really are presumptuous.
Ma Hongjun's inner monologue was intense. They had previously been brothers with the lowest soul power levels in the academy. However, Oscar's sudden breakthrough felt like a resounding slap in the face, filling him with shame and anger. He felt betrayed, betrayed by his former "ally."
At this moment, Ma Hongjun's heart was filled with contradictions. On the one hand, he was happy for Oscar's achievement, after all, they had been friends; but on the other hand, jealousy and resentment were also quietly growing in his heart.
Ma Hongjun's thoughts were a jumbled mess. He tried to sort out his emotions, but the more he thought, the more confused he became. He looked at Oscar, the partner who used to laugh and joke with him, but now he seemed like a stranger, a genius he had never truly understood.
The others present were also affected by Flander and Ma Hongjun's reactions, and they began to whisper and discuss among themselves.
Oscar himself appeared unusually calm, as if all of this was within his expectations.
However, Flander's face was devoid of any smile; instead, it was extremely serious: "Oscar, tell me the truth, what exactly happened? Logically speaking, with your talent, it's impossible for you to raise your soul power level so much in such a short time!"
Flander's voice carried an undeniable air of authority, his sharp gaze fixed on Oscar as if trying to see right through him.
It's no wonder Flander was so serious. You see, on the Douluo Continent, besides the conventional cultivation methods, there are many unorthodox and unorthodox paths.
For example, many drugs enhance a Soul Master's strength at the cost of overdrawing their potential or even their life. Flander was genuinely afraid that Oscar would become obsessed with short-term power increases and go down a path of no return.
Upon hearing Flander's question, Oscar instinctively turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao.
After all, the immortal herb was given to him by Huo Yuhao, and Oscar would not have told anyone the secret of the herb without Huo Yuhao's permission. He knew the preciousness of the herb and the power it brought.
Huo Yuhao naturally noticed Oscar's gaze, a hint of understanding and tolerance flashing in his eyes. He smiled slightly and nodded in agreement to Oscar.
After obtaining Huo Yuhao's permission, Oscar immediately spoke up: "Dean Flander, the reason why my strength has improved so quickly is naturally not because I cultivated it myself—"
Before Oscar could finish speaking, Yu Xiaogang exclaimed in surprise, "I knew it! Oscar, how could you possibly go from level 39 to level 40 in just two months? Tell me the truth, did you use some underhanded methods?"
Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's question, Oscar hurriedly waved his hand, his movements appearing somewhat flustered, but his eyes were exceptionally firm: "No, I absolutely did not use any crooked methods. It was Yuhao who gave me a top-grade spiritual herb. After consuming the herb, my soul power level directly increased to level forty."
Oscar's words revealed an unbelievable excitement, as if even he himself could not believe that such a miracle would happen to him.
"A spirit herb? What is that?"
Flander frowned slightly. To be honest, this was the first time Flander had ever heard of such a thing.
Oscar continued, "This spiritual herb is called the Five-Leaf Green Ganoderma. You can think of it as a precious medicinal herb, a gift from Yuhao. Its only effect is to maximize a Soul Master's Soul Power level without affecting their talent or potential."
"It was after consuming this top-grade herb that my soul power level increased directly from level thirty-three to level forty."
Upon hearing Oscar's explanation, Flander immediately turned to Huo Yuhao: "Yuhao, is what Oscar said true?"
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly: "Yes, just this morning, Oscar joined the Spirit Hall, so I gave Oscar the Five-Leaf Green Ganoderma. What he said is absolutely right. The Five-Leaf Green Ganoderma is a top-grade herb, second only to the immortal herb in the novel. It is not difficult to raise a Soul Master's Soul Power by seven levels. Moreover, this immortal herb only works on Soul Masters below level 50."
