The reason Oscar went to Holy Soul Village had only one purpose: for Tang San's mother's Blue Silver Emperor right leg Spirit Bone.
Some might think Oscar was going too far? After all, Tang San hadn't provoked you? Even if you don't like Grandmaster's approach, there's no need to take it out on Tang San, right?
Tang San hasn't even seen his own mother, and you're going to mess with his mother's keepsake?
In fact, if he hadn't met Dugu Yan, hadn't obtained the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and hadn't obtained his powerful fourth Spirit Skill, Oscar wouldn't have had these thoughts.
But things were different now. The timing, location, and people were all on Oscar's side. He had no reason not to plan for himself, after all, he wasn't alone anymore.
He had his lover, his teacher, his grandfather, his brothers... and even the "Spirit Jade Sword Sect." So Oscar wasn't just doing it for himself; he was doing it for everyone's future.
If they don't become gods, they might very well be lost to the annals of history.
...Alright, no more pretending. The truth is, Oscar just wanted the Spirit Bone. Of course, it was also truly for the sake of getting stronger to protect the people around him.
And although Oscar didn't have any negative feelings toward Tang San for the time being, he couldn't resist such a perfect opportunity.
Tang Hao was gone, why not take advantage of this opportunity to fleece him a bit? And Oscar wasn't taking it for free either, after all, he had also prepared whale glue for Tang San.
Of course, the premise was that Tang San could pass the tests from Dean Flander and the others, otherwise he might not be able to get it.
And Oscar's plans didn't stop there. He had many other plans being implemented, for example, several of his clones had already found the entrance to the City of Slaughter and were going there to train.
Of course, with his current strength, his clones might not be able to pass the tests of the City of Slaughter, but Oscar wasn't sending them to pass the tests, but rather to probe the situation and gather some experience.
Another batch of Oscar's clones had gone to Sea God Island, wanting to see if the clones could try to contact the Sea God's trials and so on.
Many things Oscar was already trying through his clones, and he wasn't afraid of exposure, after all, clones could change their Spirit Beasts by eating Copy Sausages.
And the effect of the Copy Sausage is the same as the Clone Sausage. As long as the Spirit Power isn't completely consumed at once, the copied Spirit Beast won't be dispelled, unless killed or manually deactivated.
And because Oscar wanted to obtain blood from more different Spirit Beast users, he had many clones hide their identities to work in the Great Soul Arena or participate in soul duels, the purpose being to collect blood during battles and then create all kinds of clones.
And with clones, Oscar didn't need to spend too much time making Spirit Skill Sausages, because the ones made by clones were the same as those made by his main body. Now his clones came in all varieties, making the Spirit Jade Sword Sect truly worthy of its name.
Oscar had fleeced Flander, Zhao Wuji, Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and the others completely.
However, Oscar did not go after Gai Yue, because Gai Yue had never appeared on the continent. After all, his Frost Moon Sword Spirit was unique to him in the entire continent, and if discovered by the Wind Sword Sect, they would definitely try to eliminate him to eliminate future troubles.
Of course, with Oscar's current influence, it would only take a single clone from Dugu Bo to annihilate the entire Wind Sword Sect, but Gai Yue disagreed with doing so.
Because he wanted to take revenge personally. Such a genocide that cannot be shared under the same sky could only be resolved by his own hands.
And now Gai Yue was already at level eighty-nine, only one step away from breaking through to become a Title Douluo. Once he broke through to Title Douluo, he would personally annihilate the Wind Sword Sect to avenge his family.
The reason for waiting until breaking through to the Title Douluo realm was also to avoid the same situation as the Wind Sword Sect annihilating his sect, letting this sole survivor escape and giving him a chance to take revenge.
What Gai Yue wanted was to completely annihilate the Wind Sword Sect in one go, leaving no hidden dangers.
Some might ask, is it really necessary? The people of the Wind Sword Sect were indeed despicable, but what did that have to do with those children? After all, the children were innocent.
If it were the original Oscar who didn't truly understand this cruel world, he might have the same thoughts as these people with a savior complex, but the current Oscar deeply understood the cruelty of this world.
The children of the Wind Sword Sect might not have a direct relationship with Gai Yue's genocide, but all the resources they enjoyed included those from Gai Yue's sect.
And as the saying goes, when an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent. Since they have received the cause, they must naturally accept this effect.
So Oscar would not sympathize, and even supported his teacher in doing so. After all, if you don't remove the roots when cutting the grass, it will grow back with the spring breeze!
Moreover, when the Wind Sword Sect annihilated Gai Yue's sect, didn't they also spare none of those children?
Oscar's clone launched a carpet search after arriving near Holy Soul Village.
And before this, Oscar had specially found some maps around Holy Soul Village. Tang San's mother's ten-year-old right leg bone was placed somewhere in the mountains surrounding Holy Soul Village.
The terrain outside the mountain range was treacherous, with peaks piercing the clouds, and the surrounding cliffs were almost vertical at ninety degrees, making it extremely difficult to climb.
In the original story, even the nearly level sixty Tang San needed at least half a day of full-speed travel to enter the mountain range.
After entering the mountain range, one could find a pond as clear and bright as a sapphire. Above the pond was a waterfall twenty meters wide and two hundred meters high. The waterfall had been smoothed by years of water washing, making it difficult for even Spirit King experts to climb.
Tang San's mother was planted in a cave one hundred meters up the waterfall, and the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone was also there.
Don't ask why Oscar knew this so well, because he found this part of the original story quite interesting. After all, his mother sacrificing herself for Tang Hao was one thing, but she also left a "backdoor" for Tang San.
That's why Oscar remembered this scene so vividly. Now that he had come to this world, he recalled the original story in detail and then planned his move.
Besides, Oscar didn't originally have such a clear idea of where Tang San's mother was located, but unfortunately, this world had maps. By comparing the map with the environment, it became clear at once.
While Tang San was busy registering at Shrek Academy, Tang Hao this old bastard quietly followed to protect him, so Oscar went directly to steal from his home.
As for how to handle this Spirit Bone later, there was no need to worry. After all, Spirit Bones wouldn't get moldy or deteriorate. As long as he got the item in his hands first, what to do afterward didn't matter.
Moreover, the two abilities of the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone left by Tang San's mother, A Yin, were flight and healing. These two abilities could absolutely be called versatile and could be paired with any Spirit Master.
But then again, he had to get the item in his hands first.
Oscar had a map, plus several clones directly flying on swords to conduct a carpet search. It only took him one day to find that beautiful, clear place described in the original work deep in the mountains.
After reaching the target location, the group of Oscars didn't "land" but hovered high above on jade swords. The reason they didn't go down immediately was to avoid any restriction methods Tang Hao might have left behind.
Seven Oscars each condensed a pile of flying swords and flew toward the verdant water pool below. It took a full quarter of an hour. After Oscar confirmed there was nothing else there, they slowly flew to the middle of the waterfall.
Looking at the huge waterfall that could wash a person away directly, the seven Oscars had clear divisions of labor. Those checking the environment continued to check, those acting as sentries continued to watch. Then one of Oscars directly plunged into the waterfall.
Behind the waterfall was about half a meter of vacuum with only a little water dripping. The Oscar clone standing on flying swords took out a pair of white gloves from his Spirit Device, put them on, and began to search.
According to the original work's description, there was a protrusion similar to a door mechanism here. Once he found the mechanism, he could successfully enter the cave and then meet Tang San's mother.
But logically speaking, such a mechanism, if used for a long time, would usually have traces. However, this waterfall was twenty meters wide, and although its height was about two hundred meters, that was just an approximation. So even knowing it was in the middle section, it was difficult to find directly at once.
Fortunately, Oscar's mobility and observation skills were top-notch, plus he had seven clones. If one was hard to find, he could just use more.
Then, with the joint efforts of several clones, he successfully found the mechanism just a quarter of an hour later. It was a protrusion growing with a Blue Silver Grass. Oscar didn't harm the Blue Silver Grass and gently pressed down on the protrusion.
Then a two-meter-high, one-meter-wide cave entrance appeared before them. The seven clones entered in formation on their flying swords, with no intention of landing at all. Moreover, to be safe, the clones also wore shoe covers, emphasizing professionalism.
The clones left no traces at all. Even if Tang Hao came back later and discovered his home had been stolen, he wouldn't know who had been there, let alone deduce their age and identity from any traces.
Entering the cave, it wasn't large, only about ten meters wide. In the center of the cave was a small pool, similar to the large pool outside. Beside the pool grew a Blue Silver Grass with golden threads and silver edges.
Oh, no, it should be Blue Silver Emperor. This was Tang San's mother.
After the clones entered, this Blue Silver Emperor swayed slightly, then its extending branches and leaves retracted, as if fearing something.
Oscar's observation was meticulous. He noticed this small movement, and his mind moved slightly. One clone spoke up: "Who would have thought, who would have thought that Tang Hao actually planted the original Blue Silver Emperor here? If we were to take it away, I wonder what Tang Hao would think!"
"If it weren't for that bastard Tang San severely injuring His Holiness the Pope, ultimately leading to His Holiness's death from inadequate treatment, we wouldn't have been ostracized!"
Hearing this, the other clones all nodded angrily, as if fully agreeing with this statement.
That's right, Oscar was framing someone, regardless of whether the Blue Silver Emperor had consciousness or not, he directly branded it with the Spirit Hall label.
What if the Blue Silver Emperor could communicate with Tang Hao in some special way? Wouldn't this be naturally delivering a scapegoat?
Thinking this way, Oscar gave a sinister smile, this was how the world worked, making more friends and fewer enemies.
Then the clones began to search the cave, and above the Blue Silver Emperor, they discovered a vine. One of the clones wearing white gloves pulled on it, and a lead box fell down.
One of the clones immediately flew forward to catch the lead box, not giving it any chance to touch the ground.
However, this lead box was quite heavy, weighing at least a hundred jin, and it could perfectly block the aura of the Spirit Bone. Even at such a close distance, Oscar couldn't feel the aura of the Spirit Bone.
To confirm whether this was indeed a Spirit Bone, one of the clones condensed a jade sword and directly pried open the lead box. The lead box had no restrictions, it was just that the lid was heavy.
Opening the lead box, a rich life aura rushed out, and the Blue Silver Emperor below trembled violently.
Noticing the violently trembling Blue Silver Emperor, Oscar raised an eyebrow, and one of the clones pretended to be surprised and said:
"Huh? This Blue Silver Emperor actually has consciousness? Could it be that it's not completely dead yet? If that's the case, then let's take it away too!"
After confirming the Spirit Bone, the clones put the lid back on and stored the lead box in their Soul Device.
Then one of the clones directly dug out the Blue Silver Emperor, casually wrapped it in a cloth bag, and put it on his person.
After all, even if A Yin still had consciousness, it was now just a grass, and didn't need any gentle treatment at all.
Then the clones looked at the stone walls in the cave and revealed an evil smile.
Since they had already disguised themselves as people from Spirit Hall, they might as well go all the way.
The clones condensed jade swords one by one and began to write on the stone walls in a flamboyant manner. After a quarter of an hour, the clones looked at their masterpiece and nodded in satisfaction, leaving the cave.
Barefacedly coming, not bringing any gifts, instead taking away their treasured ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone and Blue Silver Emperor.
However, Oscar wasn't a heartless person, he wrote down a list of enemies, so that Tang Hao wouldn't be powerless with rage, and would have a place to vent his anger.
Our Oscar is truly a righteous and kind person!
After leaving the cave, the seven clones no longer flew on swords, but each ate a Wind-Walking Swallow Sausage, disappearing into the depths of the mountain range at a terrifying speed.
They left, taking nothing but a hundred thousand year Spirit Bone and the Blue Silver Emperor, not even a single cloud!
If any tomb robbers had seen this, they would have definitely sighed that Oscar was the grandmaster, not only stealing from others but also setting them up and framing them? Diverting disaster elsewhere?
Meanwhile, far away in Soto City, after playing for two days, Tang San and Xiao Wu finally headed to Shrek Academy to register for enrollment.
Because Shrek was somewhat different from the original story this time, Tang San and Xiao Wu didn't encounter Flander while playing in Soto City, as Flander was currently in closed-door cultivation, about to break through again!
Meanwhile, far behind Tang San and Xiao Wu, who was following them, Tang Hao suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of unease, but he couldn't find anything wrong, so he simply ignored it.
In his view, it might be this already broken body giving him a warning, telling him to seek treatment.
However, Tang Hao knew his own body well. In that previous battle, he faced three Title Douluo alone. Although he won in the end and even "beat the Pope to death," his body had suffered unimaginable damage.
If it weren't for the ten thousand year Spirit Ring that Yin sacrificed to him, containing terrifying life force, Tang Hao might have already been unable to continue...
Thank you to the great patrons for their rewards, my deepest gratitude!
