Hearing Gai Yue's words, Dugu Yan nodded thoughtfully. She eventually realized that Gai Yue made a lot of sense. If an ordinary thousand-year fourth soul ring could produce such an effect, it would absolutely be a top-tier soul skill.
But for Oscar, who had absorbed a soul ring above his level, this soul skill effect was definitely not enough to make him overflow with excitement. After all, Oscar had seen a lot of the world, so how could he get that excited over something of this degree?
Dugu Yan turned to look at Oscar. "Little Ao, tell the truth."
Oscar smiled at Dugu Yan's appearance, then said, "What the teacher said about the soul skill effect is completely correct, but also incomplete."
Pausing for a moment, Oscar continued, "Teacher, the reason your clone only possesses sixty percent of your main body's strength after consuming my fourth soul skill is that this skill has a restriction. Aside from soul masters of the same level or below me consuming it, for other soul masters, the clone's strength decreases by ten percent for every extra soul ring they have compared to me."
"You have four more soul rings than me, so the clone's strength dropped by forty percent, leaving it with only sixty percent of your main body's strength."
"But if a soul master of the same level as me, or with fewer soul rings than me, consumes this soul skill, then their clone will inherit one hundred percent of their strength. Furthermore, it is a perfect replication."
Hearing Oscar's explanation, Gai Yue instantly understood. If that were the case, then Oscar's soul skill was worthy of his over-leveled absorption results.
After a soul master of the same level consumed his fourth soul skill, they could possess a clone that was a perfect replica of themselves with one hundred percent of their strength and a spiritual connection. This was completely a one-plus-one-is-greater-than-two effect!
Gai Yue could even feel that he could use the same skills simultaneously with his clone, achieving a combined attack similar to a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. The effect would definitely be much more powerful than acting alone...
Thinking this, Gai Yue felt a bit excited. If Oscar broke through to the Title Douluo level in the future, and he consumed this soul skill, wouldn't he be able to achieve the feat of fighting one against two?
One must know, that is the Title Douluo realm. Every level difference between Title Douluos is like heaven and earth. And him? Directly using his disciple's soul skill to cheat? Turning from one person into two with identical martial souls, soul skills, and even soul bones?
Hearing Oscar's explanation, Dugu Yan also instantly realized the terror of this soul skill.
Similarly, Dugu Yan thought about if Oscar cultivated to the Title Douluo level and had her and her grandfather Dugu Bo consume this fourth soul skill. Not to mention herself, wouldn't her grandfather Dugu Bo be able to turn into two people?
Oscar himself had the same thought. After all, one Dugu Bo was enough to change the outcome of a battle. What about two Dugu Bos? Wouldn't the entire battlefield be left without a single intact spot? It would all be Dugu Bo's deadly poison!
After Gai Yue learned the full effect of Oscar's soul skill, he couldn't calm down for a long time. Oscar then calmly added, "Teacher, actually, this soul skill isn't as powerful as you think, because it has a restriction: it can only be consumed once a day. The second time will only have the effect of restoring soul power."
Hearing this, Gai Yue rolled his eyes at Oscar. "You call that a restriction? Have you ever seen a soul master fighting every day?"
Pausing, Gai Yue sighed with emotion. "In the field of food system martial souls, you kid are simply a monster! Even more monstrous than your talent in the way of the sword!"
Oscar smiled faintly. "After all, this is my specialty. It's only natural for the soul skill to be a bit more powerful."
As Oscar spoke, he looked calmly at Gai Yue and Dugu Yan. "Teacher, Sister, if I said my fourth soul skill has more than just this effect, what would you think?"
The two, who had been immersed in the power of Oscar's fourth soul skill and unable to extricate themselves, shuddered at Oscar's words. The two identical Gai Yues looked at Oscar incredulously at the same time. "What did you say? This isn't the full effect of your fourth soul skill?"
Feeling a bit hairy under the gaze of the two teachers, Oscar chuckled and replied, "Yes, this is just one of the effects of my fourth soul skill. For the other effect, I need a drop of your blood, Teacher, to demonstrate it."
Hearing this, the two identical Gai Yues looked at each other. However, since the clone and the main body were spiritually connected, Gai Yue looking at "Gai Yue" just meant seeing confusion in his own eyes reflected back.
Although confused, Gai Yue still cut his finger and flicked a drop of blood toward Oscar.
Oscar raised his hand and wrapped the blood in soul power to prevent it from scattering. After obtaining Gai Yue's blood, the fourth soul ring on Oscar's body flashed with a dark black soul power light again.
As the soul power light flickered, he chanted the incantation again, but this time the incantation was slightly different from before.
"Fourth soul skill: Mirror Image Dragon Sausage!"
As the incantation was chanted, endless soul power light wrapped around Gai Yue's drop of blood and began to churn. Immediately, an ice-blue sausage emitting cold air in the shape of a miniature Frost Moon Sword appeared in Oscar's hand.
Looking at the shape of the sausage in Oscar's hand, combined with Oscar just asking for a drop of blood from Gai Yue, the two identical Gai Yues and Dugu Yan had a rough guess about the second effect of Oscar's fourth soul skill.
Then, they saw Oscar hand the sausage directly to Dugu Yan, followed by Oscar saying, "Sister, give it a try."
Dugu Yan took the ice-blue sausage that looked like a small, miniature Frost Moon Sword in a daze, then ate it. Upon entering her mouth, she first felt a piercingly cold chill, which then, under the action of soul power, directly turned into pure soul power and flowed into her body.
When she felt the changes brought to her by Oscar's fourth soul skill, Dugu Yan looked at Oscar with an incredulous expression on her face again, then looked at Gai Yue.
"Yan-yan, how is the effect?" The two identical Gai Yues couldn't help but ask.
Dugu Yan didn't answer, but under Gai Yue's confused gaze, she slowly raised her right hand. The next moment, a Frost Moon Sword identical to Gai Yue's martial soul appeared in Dugu Yan's hand.
When Gai Yue saw that Dugu Yan could actually use his martial soul, he was instantly stunned in place. Then, he had a guess about the other effect of Oscar's fourth soul skill.
At the same time, two yellow and one purple soul rings rose from Dugu Yan's body. Then, the purple third soul ring on her body flashed.
With the release of the soul skill, the Frost Moon Sword in Dugu Yan's hand danced like a dancer the next moment. Endless cold ice sword energy instantly crisscrossed and attacked towards the two Gai Yues.
"Third soul skill: Frost Moon Splendid Flower!"
"What?!" Gai Yue was incredibly surprised to see that Dugu Yan could actually use his soul skills too!
Gai Yue couldn't help but think inwardly, "Is the second effect of Little Ao's fourth soul skill directly copying the martial soul and soul skills of the blood provider? What about soul bone skills? After all, the clone from the first effect of Little Ao's fourth soul skill copied the martial soul, soul skills, and soul bone skills."
However, Gai Yue's reaction was not slow. Among the two identical Gai Yues, the clone instantly released its martial soul. The Frost Moon Sword in its hand released endless cold ice breath. The clone's figure flashed and arrived in front of Gai Yue's main body. The clone held the ice sword across its chest, directly blocking Dugu Yan's attack.
Although the clone only had sixty percent of Gai Yue's strength, this was sixty percent of the eighty-eighth level Gai Yue's strength. It was far from what Dugu Yan, who was currently only at level forty, could compare to.
But this wasn't the end. After the third soul skill was blocked, Dugu Yan slowly raised her right arm. Ice-blue soul power light condensed on her right arm, and a sword-shaped ice-blue element suddenly erupted.
"Ice Blue Dragon Python Right Arm Soul Bone Skill: Glacial Epoch!"
Terrifying cold ice suddenly erupted from Dugu Yan's right arm. This was clearly not her right arm soul bone skill, but Gai Yue's soul bone skill copied through Oscar's fourth soul skill.
The terrifying freezing power suddenly erupted, invading towards Gai Yue's clone. The terrifying cold ice power directly froze the environment around Dugu Yan.
Gai Yue raised an eyebrow when he saw this scene. He knew Oscar's fourth soul skill was definitely not simple, considering the previous sausage.
However, facing Dugu Yan's copied version of his own soul bone skill, the clone Gai Yue just slowly raised his right arm. The same ice-blue light surged, but it was not an attack. Instead, it directly absorbed all of Dugu Yan's attacks.
Dugu Yan, on the other hand, had consumed almost all her soul power by fully urging this soul bone skill copied from Gai Yue. She recalled her martial soul and did not launch any more attacks, but the copied martial soul did not disappear.
Gai Yue also recalled his clone at this time, looking at Oscar with a shocked expression. "Little Ao, although the effects of your two fourth soul skills are similar, they are completely different. Does this mean your fourth soul skill has two forms of skills?"
Speaking of this, even Dugu Yan couldn't help but sigh. "Little Ao, your soul skill can completely rival a hundred-thousand-year soul skill, right? One soul skill with two effects—isn't that something only a hundred-thousand-year soul ring can possess?"
Looking at the shocked two, Oscar's smile remained. "Actually, I was quite surprised too, but that is the fact."
"My fourth soul skill has two effects. One is the Mirror Image Clone Sausage you used earlier, Teacher, and the second is this Mirror Image Copy Sausage."
"I suppose you noticed the change in my incantation just now? My incantations have two full names. One is 'Drawing a Tiger from a Cat Mirror Image Clone Sausage'. For this effect, I don't need anyone else's blood to make it. The effect is that after consumption, the user can condense a clone without consuming soul power. If the user has the same number of soul rings as me, then the clone can possess one hundred percent of the main body's ability, and it is a clone with identical martial soul, soul skills, and soul bones. If their level is above mine, the clone's strength drops by ten percent for every extra soul ring."
"The full name of the incantation for the second effect is 'Drawing a Tiger from a Cat Mirror Image Copy Sausage'. The effect is that it can perfectly copy one hundred percent of the blood provider's martial soul, soul skills, and soul bone skills. The strength exerted depends on the user's own soul power level."
"If the user's physical fitness and soul power strength are stronger than the blood provider's, then among those of the same level, the soul master using my fourth soul skill can exert even greater power. This point depends entirely on the user's own strength."
"Moreover, after using the Copy Sausage, unless the soul power is exhausted, you can continue to possess the abilities of the blood provider. There is no time limit."
Hearing Oscar's such detailed explanation, Gai Yue and Dugu Yan couldn't help but open their mouths in surprise.
One soul skill with two effects? And both such powerful effects? Oscar's fourth soul skill is completely comparable to a hundred-thousand-year soul skill, right? Is this the benefit of absorbing a soul ring above one's level?
And even for a hundred-thousand-year soul skill, the power might not necessarily be as strong as the two effects of Oscar's fourth soul skill, right?
Oscar's own thoughts were actually similar to Gai Yue and Dugu Yan's. He originally thought that gaining the Copy Sausage ability would be enough, but he didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest this time!
In the original story, Oscar's own Copy Sausage could only exert seventy percent of the blood provider's strength. Even with the boost of a head soul bone, it could only reach eighty percent!
And it seemed to only copy the blood provider's martial soul and soul skills, not soul bone skills! And it could only be used for three minutes!
Yet, Oscar's current Copy Sausage can perfectly copy the blood provider's martial soul, soul skills, and soul bone skills? And exert one hundred percent of the strength? Most importantly, after consuming Oscar's Copy Sausage, there is no time limit, only until soul power is exhausted!
And if the user is strong enough to begin with, they can even burst out with greater power!
Now, the effect of the Copy Sausage alone far exceeds the power of the original story, not to mention that Oscar's fourth soul skill actually possesses two different effects?
When not using anyone's blood, the original Copy Sausage becomes a Clone Sausage. This was the skill from Oscar's head soul bone in the original story!
However, what surprised Oscar was that in the original story, Oscar's sixth soul ring was only over twenty thousand years and it produced a soul bone, yet his fourth soul ring here came from a thirty-thousand-year-level Mirror Image Beast and didn't drop a soul bone?
Could it be because his fourth soul skill already possessed the characteristics of the Mirror Image Beast's two most powerful skills? That's why no soul bone was dropped?
What Oscar didn't know was that the reason he could have one soul skill with two effects was not only due to his own current talent but also because this Mirror Image Beast was willing to be absorbed by Oscar.
Because when Oscar was preparing to kill this Mirror Image Beast, his sentence made the Mirror Image Beast lose the will to resist.
At that time, Oscar told Gai Yue that if he couldn't absorb this thirty-thousand-year soul ring, there were still two Mirror Image Beasts in the canyon. And those two Mirror Image Beasts were the wife and children of this thirty-thousand-year-level Mirror Image Beast.
Oscar didn't know that his unintentional sentence caused some changes to his fourth soul ring.
Of course, this was ultimately because Oscar's current talent was strong enough to carry the Mirror Image Beast's two skill effects. Otherwise, even if the Mirror Image Beast willingly sacrificed itself, he wouldn't have such a harvest.
After all, although Oscar's martial soul was just a sausage, after so many evolutions from absorbing soul rings, absorbing two fairy herbs in the Ice and Fire Eyes, and the body tempering evolution within the Ice and Fire Eyes, his sausage martial soul was long gone from what it was before.
If Oscar's sausage martial soul was previously just a top-tier food system martial soul, then his current sausage martial soul has absolutely surpassed that level. It may not reach the god-level level of the Six-winged Archangel, but it is absolutely not far off.
Oscar knew this himself, he just didn't have an intuitive feeling of it.
Now that his fourth soul ring has two effects, it is enough to show that Oscar's martial soul itself has already surpassed the level of a top-tier martial soul.
Gai Yue and Dugu Yan also noticed a special point, which was the subtle change in Oscar's two incantations.
The incantation for the Clone Sausage was 'Drawing a Tiger from a Cat'. If understood literally combined with the ability, it means the user copies themselves based on themselves, likening themselves to a tiger and the copy to a cat.
The Copy Sausage, on the other hand, was 'Drawing a Tiger from a Cat', likening the blood provider to a cat, and the copied ability to the tiger!
This also explains well why the Copy Sausage can allow the user to exert even greater power than the blood provider. Of course, the premise is that your foundation must be above that of the blood provider.
The simplified incantations for Oscar's two fourth soul skills are 'Drawing a Tiger from a Cat Mirror Sausage' and 'Drawing a Tiger from a Cat Mirror Sausage'.
The Clone Sausage is 'Drawing a Tiger from a Cat' and 'Mirror Sausage', while the Copy Sausage is 'Drawing a Tiger from a Cat' and 'Mirror Sausage'.
