At Shrek Academy, half a month ago after Gai Yue's return, the entire person not only didn't carry the imagined sadness and loneliness because of Oscar's matter, but instead the entire person was full of energy and spirit.
After Gai Yue told Flender and the others that Oscar was still alive, they were all as if they had heard some incredibly good news.
Especially Ma Hongjun, who had recently become much thinner, now hearing the news that Oscar was fine, the entire person instantly became spirited, as if life had regained its hope.
Ma Hongjun couldn't help but pull Gai Yue's arm and ask: "Teacher Gai Yue, when is Brother Oscar coming back? It's been over two months and he hasn't returned to the academy, what is he doing outside?"
Gai Yue smiled slightly. He was quite envious of the relationship between Ma Hongjun and Oscar. Moreover, although this lazy boy Ma Hongjun was occasionally a bit slack sometimes, his talent was indeed not bad, and at a young age, he was already at Level 25.
Therefore, Gai Yue also quite liked Ma Hongjun. Looking at Ma Hongjun's slightly spoiled appearance, Gai Yue also smiled and said: "He is cultivating with Poison Douluo for a period of time, which could be as long as a year, or as short as half a year."
"Ah!" Hearing this, Ma Hongjun's expression changed instantly: "Does that mean I won't be able to see Brother Oscar for this period of time?"
Gai Yue continued: "Rest assured, Little Ao hasn't forgotten you. He asked me to tell you that if you slacked off during this time, he will come back to test you when he returns."
"If you don't meet his standards by then, you'd better think about the consequences."
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun shivered instantly. Brother Ao was good in every way, but when he beat people, he really beat them without any acting.
Ma Hongjun wasn't afraid of Shrek Academy's teachers. After all, if the teachers were strict, the strictness would pass. But for some reason, although Oscar was only two years older than him, Ma Hongjun always felt as if he was facing an older brother or even a father.
Of course, Ma Hongjun had no father since he was a child and didn't know what it felt like to have one, but the feeling Oscar gave him was very similar.
When he was good, he was extremely good; when he was fierce, Ma Hongjun didn't even dare to breathe too hard. Now hearing Gai Yue's words, Ma Hongjun could imagine what kind of consequences Brother Ao would bring him if he slacked off during this time.
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun immediately said with an awkward smile: "Teacher Gai Yue, you still don't know me. I definitely won't be lazy. You can tell Brother Ao to rest assured. When he comes back, I will definitely give him a surprise!"
Hearing this, Gai Yue's smile became even brighter: "Not bad, your answer is acceptable. Your Brother Ao has prepared something good for you. It is said that it can solve your Evil Fire problem, and it might even give your cultivation a certain boost."
Hearing Gai Yue's words, Ma Hongjun's heart moved: "Did Brother Oscar really find it?"
Gai Yue nodded: "I have already brought the thing back."
Afterward, Gai Yue handed the Phoenix Nirvana Pill to Ma Hongjun and told him how to take it and the subsequent cultivation methods.
After getting the pill, Ma Hongjun was incredibly excited and directly returned to his own dorm to take it.
Subsequently, Gai Yue distributed the many pills he brought back to the teachers of Shrek Academy according to Oscar's arrangement. However, the distribution was done privately. After all, Dai Mubai was now a student of Shrek Academy, but since he had just enrolled, Oscar hadn't prepared anything for him.
So Gai Yue had to do it privately this way, so that Dai Mubai, being unaware, wouldn't have any extra thoughts. As for Ma Hongjun's matter, he wasn't worried at all about Dai Mubai being jealous, because Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire problem was common knowledge.
Dai Mubai, who had been enrolled for nearly two months, also knew about Ma Hongjun being affected by the Evil Fire. So even if Ma Hongjun's strength improved later because of taking the Phoenix Nirvana Pill, it could only be understood that Ma Hongjun had good luck, solving the Evil Fire problem while also obtaining such an opportunity.
As for the teachers' advancements, they naturally wouldn't show off to Dai Mubai, because there was simply no need for it.
Besides, Oscar had specifically told Gai Yue to keep it confidential, saying that these were all things given by Dugu Bo and that he didn't want them to be mentioned.
After taking the pills provided by Oscar, Shrek Academy's teachers all had significant improvements.
Gai Yue's Soul Power rose from Level 85 peak to Level 87, an increase of nearly two levels of Soul Power, which could be said to be another step closer to the Titled Douluo realm.
Moreover, because of the Black Jade Divine Bamboo, Gai Yue's Frost Moon Sword, in terms of both quality and substance, rose to another level, completely reaching the ranks of top-tier Tool Martial Spirits. Its quality could be compared with the current number one sword Martial Spirit in the world—the Seven Kills Sword.
Even Gai Yue himself was incredibly excited because he had a premonition that in the future, catching up to Sword Douluo Chen Xin, or even surpassing him, was not impossible.
It was also for this reason that Gai Yue marveled at the power and mystery of heavenly-grade medicinal herbs, and he felt even more gratitude from the bottom of his heart for his disciple Oscar.
After all, something this precious, which was even rarer than a Soul Bone, Oscar just gave away. Gai Yue's heart was naturally moved beyond words.
It wasn't in vain that Gai Yue had been so grief-stricken when he heard the news that Oscar had passed away. This master and disciple had long since developed a relationship like that of father and son.
Besides Gai Yue, the improvements of Shrek Academy's teachers were also not small. Flender, who took the Ninth-Grade Primordial Pill, had his Soul Power rise from Level 78 to Level 79 peak. With just stable and refined Soul Power, after some hard cultivation, he could break through the Level 80 barrier and obtain a Ten-thousand-year Soul Ring to become a Soul Douluo powerhouse.
In this era, a Soul Douluo could be considered a genuine high-level figure. Among the hundreds of thousands of Soul Masters on the continent, only about three hundred have reached the Soul Douluo level.
Zhao Wuji's improvement was similar to Flender's. Like Flender, he took the Ninth-Grade Primordial Pill. His Soul Power also rose from Level 76 to Level 77 peak, just one step away from Level 78, with a rapid increase in strength.
Shao Xin, who also took the Ninth-Grade Primordial Pill, was the same. Having just obtained his seventh Soul Ring, his Soul Power had already reached Level 71. After taking another pill, his Soul Power directly jumped to Level 73.
Besides the increase in Soul Power, this pill also seemed to have unlocked his talent, making his future cultivation path smoother. Perhaps he could be a potential existence to reach the food-system Titled Douluo level, besides the future Oscar.
Lu Qibin and Li Yusong's talents were slightly inferior, so Oscar didn't give them the Ninth-Grade Primordial Pill because this pill had reached a heavenly-grade level, and giving it to them would be quite wasteful.
So Oscar refined spirit pills with ten-thousand-year-grade spiritual herbs for them. Although they couldn't compare to the Ninth-Grade Primordial Pill, their effects also allowed both of them to have some breakthroughs.
Lu Qibin rose from Level 65 to Level 66, while Li Yusong rose from Level 63 to Level 64. Both of them broke through one level of Soul Power.
