Douluo: I use shadow to open Shura

Chapter 138 The Escaped Dragon King and Meng Po, the Appearance of the Titan Giant Ape
A few hours later, Oscar successfully absorbed the 700-year-old golden earth dragon soul ring without any major incident.

Originally, Oscar, being a food-type Soul Master, should never have been able to absorb Soul Rings to such an extreme degree, but Mo Yu had given Oscar and the others intensive training beforehand.

If Zhao Wuji could withstand the pressure of his soul power for a while, there was no reason why he couldn't withstand the impact of the Golden Earth Dragon's soul ring.

After obtaining his second spirit ring, Oscar's eyes lit up, and as he looked at his hands, a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.

"Boss Mo, I did it!"

Oscar shouted joyfully, followed by another loud yell.

"Life-Perceiving Golden Sausage!"

Under Oscar's control, a sausage that looked like gold began to appear between his hands, appearing extremely luxurious.

"My second spirit ring gave me the Golden Sausage for Life Perception. Its ability is that by eating this golden sausage, one can activate life force, enter the life activation mode, and increase all attributes by 5%, and the perception ability can be increased by an additional 5%."

Oscar's lips twitched slightly, afraid that he would smile crookedly from the praise.

"What? Real or fake?"

Zhao Wuji was shocked. This ability to increase all attributes by 5%, plus an additional 5% increase in perception, was practically comparable to Mo Yu's third soul skill.

Given Zhao Wuji's knowledge, his assessment was certainly not unfounded.

After all, Oscar can make several sausages and eat them all together.

Of course, a 5% increase in all attributes would require eating six sausages to be comparable to Mo Yu's third soul skill, and the additional perception boost is also inferior to the perception ability of Mo Yu's beast shadow.

Even so, this is still an extremely powerful soul skill.

Keep in mind that Oscar's is only his second spirit ring, a seven-hundred-year spirit ring, while Mo Yu's spirit ring is a four-thousand-year spirit ring.

In the original timeline, Oscar only obtained an Exhilarating Soul Skill when he was on his fourth Soul Ring, and its power was not as good as his second Soul Ring.

It's easy to imagine how powerful Oscar's spirit ring is.

Zhao Wuji's shock caused Oscar's lips to curl slightly upwards, and his head to tilt back involuntarily. He closed his eyes with a satisfied expression.

As for Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, although they knew that Oscar's soul skill was very powerful, they didn't have a concept of it and couldn't accurately know just how heaven-defying it was.

So Dai Mubai and the other two didn't say anything.

This is normal, though. Shrek Academy seems to lack theoretical education. In the original story, the seven of them participated in the Soul Fighting Competition, but were almost defeated by a seven-person team that was skilled in berserk mode.

Well... it's not fair to say they were almost defeated. It's more accurate to say they had the advantage of high-quality martial souls, and in the end, Tang San and the others still had to use tricks. In fact, the Shrek Seven Devils had already lost.

After all, only opponents you can't beat need to resort to underhanded tactics; those you can beat normally just use fair and square strategies.

"But how long does this sausage last?"

Just as Oscar was feeling smug, Mo Yu pointed out the crux of the problem.

He clearly remembered that Oscar's original Excitement Soul Skill was only effective if consumed within one minute.

Moreover, the upgrade time doesn't seem to be very long. It's not like Dai Mubai's White Tiger King Kong transformation which takes half an hour, nor is it like Mo Yu's transformation which can be maintained indefinitely.

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing Mo Yu's question, Oscar's smile faded, and his second soul skill did not last long.

"It only takes five minutes. It will be effective if you eat it within five minutes. The enhancement time is ten minutes."

Oscar felt the time was too short, and he was even a little embarrassed for having acted so much earlier.

However, this still shows that Oscar's understanding of soul skills is insufficient. In reality, his soul ring has far surpassed the fourth soul skill in the original work.

When he understands this later, he won't care that he only has five minutes left.

"It's okay, even a short one is impressive."

Mo Yu smiled, not to mock Oscar, but because he was genuinely happy for Oscar's second spirit ring.

Oscar became stronger than in the original timeline, and besides Oscar, he was the happiest person.

After all, this means he could actually elevate Oscar to the status of a first-rate god.

If his second soul skill is already so overpowered, wouldn't the subsequent soul skills be even more overpowered if he chose them according to his theory?

"Haha, Oscar, don't be so smug. This soul skill is incredibly powerful. I just wonder how many you can create?" Zhao Wuji patted Oscar on the shoulder, indicating that his soul skill was indeed very strong. However, Zhao Wuji also asked a rather crucial question.

"A few, probably four or five."

Oscar frowned slightly. He could sense that his second soul skill could create four, but if he consumed one himself, he could create one more.

And he's only level 22.5 now, but when he reaches level 30, he'll definitely be able to create even more.

"That's great, Oscar. You can go and overthrow the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's status in Douluo Continent in the future."

Dai Mubai patted Oscar on the shoulder, encouraging him.

"Indeed, even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul can only increase multiple attributes by 80% when one is a Soul Saint. Oscar already has 5% increase in all attributes. If he gets a few more in the future, he will definitely be stronger than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. Hahahaha."

Zhao Wuji nodded in agreement, and then burst into laughter.

As the vice president of Shrek Academy, he was, in some ways, even more concerned about Oscar and the others' growth than Flander was.

After all, Flanders had to find ways to make money from time to time, while he didn't. He had more time to accompany Oscar and the others as they grew up, so naturally his relationship with Oscar and the others was better and closer.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's leave quickly and prepare to enter the deeper core area."

At Zhao Wuji's command, the group reformed their formation, protecting Oscar and Ma Hongjun in the center, and set off again.

"Roar!"

However, just as they were about to set off, an extremely terrifying roar came, as if the entire sky was about to be shattered.

Zhao Wuji's expression changed drastically. As a Soul Saint, he immediately noticed the source of the roar. In that direction, the clouds in the sky seemed to have been dispersed by the roar, followed by a violent earthquake.

"One hundred thousand year soul beast!"

Zhao Wuji swallowed hard, already imagining what a powerful and terrifying being was the source of that roar.

Calling it a 100,000-year-old soul beast would be an underestimation of its nature.

"What! A hundred thousand year old soul beast!"

"Oh no! Teacher Zhao, let's run!"

Oscar and Ma Hongjun immediately grabbed Zhao Wuji's legs and shouted, their legs completely giving way.

At this moment, Mo Yu seemed to realize that he might have encountered a familiar script. He glanced at Xiao Wu out of the corner of his eye and noticed that Xiao Wu's brows were slightly furrowed and her expression showed a hint of reproach. He immediately understood.

Is the Titan Ape coming?

"Old Meng, I can't go on. You should take Yiran and run."

Just as Mo Yu and the others were preparing to escape, an old voice reached their ears.

"No rush, Tianxiang. I see there's another strong person ahead. If we join forces, we might be able to protect ourselves."

Just as Mo Yu and the others were wondering, an old man with a weathered face, leaning on a dragon cane and carrying a girl who was about the same age as Dai Mubai, arrived in front of Zhao Wuji.

"I don't know who you are, but please help me fight the enemy, otherwise none of these children will survive."

As soon as Long Gong Meng Shu put Meng Yiran down, he made a direct threat, which made Zhao Wuji's face darken.

"You may give it a try."

Zhao Wuji is no ordinary Soul Saint; he wouldn't be afraid even if an ordinary Soul Douluo came.

"Your Excellency misunderstands. What I mean is that we can only fight the Titan Ape together, otherwise we will all die!"

Meng Shu wasn't threatening Zhao Wuji; rather, they were facing the threat of the Titan Ape, the king of the forest, together.

"That's right, we must face the Titan Ape together!"

Just then, a woman named Chaotianxiang, with blood flowing from her mouth and nose, also arrived in front of Zhao Wuji and the others.

"You guys are crazy. I can't beat a Titan Ape."

In Zhao Wuji's view, it must have been Meng Shu and Chaotianxiang who angered the Titan Giant Ape, and it had nothing to do with him. He didn't want to risk his life.

However, the next second, the sky turned completely dark, and a Titan ape the size of a small mountain stared at them with eyes as big as lanterns.
