However, wanting to create his own force, this definitely wouldn't work in the near term, because neither Dugu Bo nor Oscar had time to do these things right now.
But Oscar wasn't in a rush, because he was only twelve years old, merely a thirty-fifth-level Soul Elder. Thinking about these things now was indeed a bit distant for him.
But having this idea, it seemed Oscar's heart could no longer let it go. As long as the time was right, Oscar would definitely do this without hesitation.
For Oscar now, the most important things were to improve his Soul Power and completely refine the medicinal power of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in his body. This way, both his strength and foundation would have an enormous improvement.
Only then would he have the opportunity to take another step forward and realize his ideas.
...
In the blink of an eye, half a year flew by. During these six months, Oscar's Soul Power improved from level thirty-five to level thirty-seven, averaging one level every three months.
And in this past half year, Oscar also completely refined the medicinal power of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Fire-Apricot Delicate Shu.
Now his physical constitution was approaching the Soul Emperor level. Oscar could be certain that when he broke through to level forty, his physical constitution reaching the Soul Emperor level would definitely not be a problem, and might even exceed it.
However, Oscar's spiritual power was somewhat lacking. Although his spiritual power was stronger due to being a transmigrator, it was currently only at the early Soul King level. To improve it, besides cultivation catching up, he could only use external items.
But fortunately, Oscar wasn't worried, because he had long been prepared. He had also already refined the Yearning Heartbroken Dew into pills, ready to consume at any time.
Besides spiritual power, Oscar's strength improvement during the year since leaving Shrek Academy for Sunset Forest was enormous.
Moreover, although Gai Yue wasn't constantly here to practice sword dao with him, there was Titled Douluo Dugu Bo's guidance.
As a long-established Titled Douluo, although Dugu Bo couldn't help Oscar with sword dao, he could impart much of his experience to Oscar.
This was something Gai Yue didn't possess, because Gai Yue's experience was far less rich than Dugu Bo's.
Besides Oscar, both Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo had gained much. In the past half year, Dugu Yan's Soul Power had gone from level thirty-four to peak level thirty-five, just one step away from breaking through to level thirty-six.
And Dugu Bo had also completely detoxified during this half year, nursing his body back to health. What's most joyous was that Dugu Bo's Soul Power had also broken through because of this, naturally reaching level ninety-two.
Besides the improvement in strength, Dugu Bo also felt the joy of being a normal person. Without the erosion of poison, Dugu Bo's whole demeanor had become much more optimistic.
Of course, this was only toward Oscar and Dugu Yan. How he treated others, Oscar didn't really know.
However, Dugu Bo was quite good to Gai Yue. Although there was over thirty years difference between them, for some reason, they had become like brothers.
After all, whether by age or by generation, Dugu Bo was older than Gai Yue.
The reason for this was also because Gai Yue would come to stay at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for a few days every month. Besides accompanying Oscar, it was also to urge Oscar not to neglect his cultivation.
However, only Gai Yue came alone; Ma Hongjun and the others didn't visit. And during these visits, Dugu Bo would also happen to come out of seclusion to relax when Gai Yue came.
So naturally the two became familiar. Even after learning about Gai Yue's experiences through their conversations, Dugu Bo had declared he wanted to avenge his little brother, planning to directly go poison the Wind Sword Sect.
However, Gai Yue's meaning was that this kind of family vengeance must be taken by himself. Moreover, after taking the Immortal pills refined by Oscar again, not only had his cultivation improved, but his talent had also been enhanced.
Gai Yue was confident he could avenge himself in the future, and even boldly declared that in the future he would surpass Sword Douluo Chen Xin and become the new representative of sword dao—Gai Yue.
Regarding this, Oscar was actually quite confident. After all, his teacher's talent wasn't bad to begin with, and with the enhancement of two ten-thousand-year top-quality Soul Bones, plus having consumed Immortal pills, his future potential might even exceed Chen Xin's.
What's worth mentioning is that after another half year, Gai Yue's Soul Power was already close to breaking through to level eighty-eight. This cultivation speed was unimaginable at the Soul Douluo level.
After all, among the hundreds of thousands of Soul Masters on the continent, there were too many people stuck at the Soul Douluo level, unable to advance even half a step.
But Gai Yue now didn't have this difficulty; instead, he had a sense that the Title was within reach. He just needed to cultivate diligently and leave everything else to time.
Now that Oscar had completely refined the medicinal power of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Fire-Apricot Delicate Shu, his Soul Power had also reached level thirty-seven, and he had been away for a year, so Oscar was planning to return to the Academy. After all, he was still a student at Shrek Academy.
Moreover, this time returning wasn't just him alone; he would also bring Dugu Yan back.
As for Dugu Bo, the old man wanted to stay at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to guard the home, so he wouldn't go back with them.
Furthermore, Dugu Bo had now begun attempting to condense a Soul Core. Having confirmed the feasibility of this idea, and from subsequent experiments, Dugu Bo could also sense the significance of the Soul Core, so he decided to cultivate in seclusion, attempting to condense a Soul Core.
And the core of his Soul Core was his Poison Core. Moreover, in Oscar's view, if using the Poison Core as the foundation, Dugu Bo would save at least half the effort.
Because Dugu Bo's Poison Core was basically not in conflict with the Soul Core. As long as no accidents occurred during the subsequent Soul Core condensation, Dugu Bo's strength would undergo an earth-shaking change.
However, before leaving, Oscar gave the Earth Dragon Golden Melon Pill to Dugu Bo, telling him that once his physical condition was completely improved, he could directly consume this Immortal pill.
And Oscar could be certain that after consuming this Immortal pill, Dugu Bo's strength and ceiling would definitely improve again, and it would even be of great help to his Soul Core condensation.
But Oscar couldn't watch over Dugu Bo every day either. After explaining the precautions, Oscar took Dugu Yan and left.
After all, Oscar had already given the ancient texts to Dugu Bo to read earlier. Now Dugu Bo had long had a clear understanding of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, knowing what things inside were useful and what things couldn't be touched.
And Oscar had also left the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Product for Dugu Bo, to prevent accidents when Dugu Bo was configuring poisons himself. Although for Dugu Bo's current strength, ordinary poisons really didn't have much effect on him, better safe than sorry.
Moreover, Oscar's body was now immune to all poisons. He basically didn't need the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Product anymore.
Although the pollen of the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Product had an excellent effect on refining certain medicines, Oscar only needed to take some with him, so there was no need to keep this "bane of a hundred poisons."

We're going paid! Because we didn't make the PK third round, it's actually quite regrettable. Our reader retention was actually pretty good, but the results were still a bit lacking. The editor told me we can only go paid now, and won't get much recommendation exposure later.
Also, because things were rushed, I've been busy these two days and really don't have stockpiled chapters, but I'll try to explode with updates these two days.
Finally, requesting subscriptions, because first-day subscriptions are quite important, many thanks!
