Oscar, the ever-changing god king of Douluo

Chapter 257 Conspiracy and Purpose

As time passed, the bear paw in Oscar's hand began to sizzle with oil, and with a handful of spices sprinkled on it, the mouth-watering aroma instantly filled the air.

While Oscar was grilling the bear paws intently, the six soul masters who were meditating and recovering had quietly started communicating with each other through voice transmission.

The Flame Lion Soul Emperor said, "That's a torso soul bone that's more than 40,000 years old! Even if we don't absorb it ourselves, as long as we sell it, it will be enough for us brothers to have food and drink for the rest of our lives!"

There is only one reason why the Flame Lion Soul Master said this, he is a fire attribute soul master, but that soul bone is of ice attribute. Even though it has been more than 40,000 years old, it is not suitable for him to absorb.

Although the others knew the Flame Lion Soul Emperor's little thoughts, what he said was not wrong. If they got that soul bone, they would never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives.

And if one of them absorbs that soul bone, they might be able to break through to a higher level in the future!
Han Han is an ice-attributed soul king. His martial soul is ice, and he is now at level 58. As long as he can absorb that soul bone, he will definitely be able to break through to level 60, and even level 70 in the future will not be a bottleneck for him.

With this soul bone, he will be able to reach level 80 or even higher in the future.

In addition to Oscar, among all the people present, only Hao Te and George Han, who had absorbed the Ice Bear Soul Ring, were the most suitable soul masters for this torso soul bone.

However, although George Han is level 58, Lie Shuo is a level 68 Soul Emperor, the strongest person except Hao Te. Even if they really succeed in solving Oscar and Hao Te, the final distribution of soul bones may not be given to him.

Although Lie Shuo has reached level 68, his Flame Lion Martial Soul and this torso soul bone are two extremes. He will most likely choose to auction the soul bone because he cannot absorb it himself.

And George Han will most likely not get the right to distribute this soul bone. After all, if the soul bone is given to him, what about other people? You can't expect George Han to give them so much money, right?
If George Han had so much money, would he still be living a life on the edge of a knife and licking blood here?
However, what everyone doesn’t know is that George Han and Lie Shuo are actually brothers, but they inherited their parents’ martial spirits and used their parents’ surnames.

Moreover, the relationship between these two brothers is better than others can imagine. Even if there is a soul bone at this moment, these two brothers will not fall apart because they have already experienced life and death.

Normally, the two of them integrated into the team like a temporary team, with the purpose of preventing others from backstabbing them.

Otherwise, why would Lie Shuo, a fire attribute soul master, come to this frozen forest to hunt soul beasts? Although fire and ice are mutually exclusive, the environment of the frozen forest determines that fire must be suppressed here.

If it weren't for the secret relationship between the two brothers, how could Lie Shuo come back here?

It is precisely because these two brothers have set their sights on the ice bear trunk soul bone that Lie Shuo and George Han secretly instigated others, but if this is accomplished, others will definitely not be able to escape the clutches of these two brothers!
By the time they deal with the young Soul Saint and Hao Te, the two brothers will be at level 68 and 58 respectively, so it will not be a problem for them to deal with the remaining two Soul Kings and Soul Masters!

Another Black Crow Soul King frowned, "Although Hao Te is no longer a threat, how can we deal with the young Soul Saint? If we want the soul bone, we must capture him. Otherwise, why would he give us this soul bone?"

The other two Soul Sect members and the Soul King also sent messages to express their agreement with the words of the Black Crow Soul King.

Hao Te is now absorbing soul rings, and it will take him several hours before he can fight. If they really start fighting later, the Soul Master with the lowest soul power among them will be enough to deal with Hao Te at this time.

But how will Oscar solve it?

The opponent dealt with the ice bear so easily. Although the ice bear was seriously injured, the opponent was still so relaxed, which was enough to prove how powerful he was.

But asking them to give up this soul bone?
Everyone knows how tempting soul bones are. This is the first time they have seen a soul bone in their life, and it is a torso soul bone that is more than 40,000 years old. How could they be willing to give it up?

Lie Shuo sent another voice transmission at this time: "Don't forget why this guy stayed here. He is such a powerful Soul Saint and still needs our help. Doesn't it mean that he is about to face difficulties that are difficult to solve?"

"We only need to pretend to help him, and leave everything to him when we encounter danger. As long as we wait until he uses his martial spirit body and enters a weak period, the six of us will be able to deal with him easily, right?"

At this time, George Han deliberately retorted: “What about Hao Te? By then, he will have reached the Soul Saint realm, and with his character, he will definitely not covet this soul bone. If we take action at that time, Hao Te will be the enemy!”

After hearing George Han’s words, the others expressed their agreement again.

Although they didn't have a deep friendship and they both put their interests first, Hao Te was stubborn.

Otherwise, when Hao Te breaks through to the Soul Saint level, there will be no problem for the seven of them to join forces to take down Oscar, but the problem is that Hao Te will definitely not join forces with them to deal with Oscar.

Otherwise, with the cooperation of Hao Te who had broken through the Soul Saint realm, why would they need to conspire so much?
Just after George Han raised his objection, Lie Shuo said sinisterly: “Don’t forget the 20,000-year-old blue scorpion we hunted before. As long as its poison enters the body, no matter whether you are a Soul Emperor or a Soul Saint, don’t even think about exerting much strength within an hour!”

Lie Shuo's tone was completely opposite to his fire attribute, and it was cold and full of murderous intent.

Hearing Lie Shuo's words, Black Crow Soul King was shocked: "You can actually preserve the poison of the Blue Scorpion? Wouldn't the poison evaporate once it leaves the body?"

Lie Shuo smiled and said, "That's true, but the blue scorpion's tail stinger can retain some of its toxins. Although it can only be used once, this time is enough."

George Han also smiled at this time: “In this case, why don’t we find a way to consume Hao Te’s soul power first, and then leave the blue scorpion’s poison to that young soul saint?”

"We don't know the opponent's strength, but we are familiar with most of Hao Te's spirit skills. When dealing with a familiar person and a stranger, I think Hao Te will definitely be easier to deal with!"

After hearing George Han’s words, the others felt more and more that this matter could be premeditated. After all, it was the temptation of a ten-thousand-year soul bone!
While everyone was meditating to restore their soul power, they were also whispering to each other about the feasibility of this matter. If it could really succeed, this torso soul bone would be enough to make them worry-free for the rest of their lives.

Although Oscar didn't know what these people were plotting, he thought they knew about the soul bone he had just taken out of the ice bear's body, and the most likely thing they were plotting was this soul bone.

There is no need to explain the value of soul bones and their appeal to soul masters. Many soul masters may not be able to see one once in their entire lives, and even the vast majority of Titled Douluo may not possess a soul bone.

Oscar actually let them see this soul bone on purpose. The reason why he took out the super recovery sausage to give to Hao Te for recovery in front of everyone was not only to allow him to recover as soon as possible and absorb the soul ring, but also to use the sausage's terrifying effect to lure him into law enforcement.

After all these years, Oscar's first soul skill is still being auctioned, but the quantity has been strictly limited. Because as his strength increases, the effect of the super recovery sausage becomes more and more powerful.

For soul masters like Hao Te who survive in the soul beast forest, if they can have a super recovery sausage as a trump card, it will definitely be an extra guarantee for their lives.

The main reason why Oscar took out the super recovery sausage to fish for law enforcement was to test everyone including Hot.

Although on the surface Hot's personality seems almost the same as in the original, Oscar naturally wants to test it just in case.

Now the appearance of this soul bone undoubtedly makes Oscar's fishing enforcement more meaningful. The temptation of sausages is not too great, and they may not dare to make any moves due to Oscar's strength.

But now there is an additional torso soul bone that is more than 40,000 years old, which is enough to test the character of these people.

If they have no intention of doing so, then when the time comes, Oscar would not mind giving them generous rewards, or even recruiting them into the sect and giving them a "staff position".

But if this group of people have thoughts that they shouldn’t have, then I’m sorry.

The reason why Oscar is so confident mainly comes from his own strength.

With Oscar's physical fitness and mental strength comparable to that of a Titled Douluo, combined with Gu Rong's martial soul and the fusion bonus of six fully equipped soul bones, Oscar's current soul power of level 75 is enough to deal with Titled Douluo powerhouses below level 95.

So even if Hott failed the test and chose to attack Oscar with others, he would not be afraid.

The reason why Oscar went to so much trouble to do all these things was because he wanted to assign a task to Hot.

What the specific task is depends on whether the other party can withstand the test.

Half an hour later, Oscar leisurely enjoyed the delicious bear paw. However, before Oscar had taken a few bites, the six people who were meditating to restore their soul power had finished their practice.

More than an hour was enough for them to recover most of their spiritual power. The most important thing was that the bear paws were so delicious. They hadn't eaten for several hours.

In addition, after experiencing such a high-intensity battle with the ice bear, he was extremely hungry and couldn't help but want to eat something good to replenish his body.

Lie Shuo came not far from Oscar and couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Senior..."

Before he could ask Oscar for the ready-made ones, Oscar calmly pointed at the huge ice bear body and said, "This ice bear body is all yours. If you want to eat it, grill it yourself. This is also the deposit I asked you to help pay."

"Thank you, senior." Hearing this, Lie Shuo replied with a smile on the surface, but he actually started cursing in his heart.

"Deposit? If we hadn't seriously injured the ice bear, how could you have knocked it down so easily?"

In fact, the rest of the people had similar ideas as Lie Shuo. If Oscar had not shown up at that time, the seven of them would have definitely taken down the ice bear together.

By the time Hao Te absorbs the soul ring, given his personality, he will definitely not covet this soul bone again. In this case, they can put the soul bone up for auction and live a worry-free life for the rest of their lives.

Even if the worst result is that Hao Te absorbs this soul bone, given Hao Te's character, he will definitely not abandon them.

After Hao Te, who has already been promoted to Soul Saint, absorbs this soul bone, his talent and strength will definitely be further improved. In the future, there will be almost no shackles for him to break through to the Soul Douluo level, and he can even impact the Titled Douluo realm.

By then, having such a powerful big brother would definitely be better than having the soul bone taken away by an outsider like Oscar.

After all, there are very few Titled Douluo walking around the continent nowadays, so Soul Douluo has become the spokesperson for top strength.

As Hao Te's strength improves, he will definitely not forget their kindness, and in the future, he will be able to enjoy a good life by following Hao Te.

Oscar had no idea what they were thinking. He just savored the bear paw and watched them process the ice bear's body with an expressionless face.

Hao Te already has a soul ring, so this body is naturally divided equally among the other six people. After all, they all put their own interests first.

Moreover, this ice bear is more than 40,000 years old, and all the parts of its body combined are worth tens of thousands of gold soul coins.

With this ice bear body, plus a 20,000-year-old blue scorpion they had hunted before, it was enough for everyone to go out and relax for a while.

It took Lie Shuo and others almost half an hour to dismantle and distribute the ice bear's body, and then they took out the tenderloin with the best meat and started grilling it.

In fact, under normal circumstances they would not choose to cook in the forest, because there is no guarantee that it would attract powerful soul beasts, so they usually eat the dry food they carry with them.

But things are different now. With Oscar as a precedent, they at least don’t need to worry about attacks from soul beasts.

After all, Oscar had been eating for such a long time, and no blind soul beast came over.

After a while, the tenderloin was grilled. Everyone sprinkled it with seasonings that they had always brought with them but almost never used, and enjoyed it happily.

They ate while talking in low voices. Lie Shuo took a piece of roasted tenderloin that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and came to Oscar's side: "Senior, would you like to try this?"

Oscar glanced at Lie Shuo, then waved his hand: "I'm done eating, you guys enjoy it slowly."

Lie Shuo was not embarrassed by being rejected. He withdrew his outstretched hand, took a bite himself, and then sat down next to Oscar.

“The one with the highest cultivation among us now is Brother Hao Te. Once he successfully absorbs the soul ring, he will be promoted to Soul Saint. But you are already a Soul Saint. What do you need our help with?” Lie Shuo asked while enjoying the pork tenderloin.

Hearing Lie Shuo's question, the others also turned their eyes over. They had already been hired by Oscar, but they didn't know what tasks they needed to complete, so they were naturally very concerned.

Oscar did not hide it and said directly: "I would like you to help me find the traces of the Ice Scorpion or Titan Snow Demon tribe."

Hearing Oscar's words, everyone including Lie Shuo's expression changed.

"The traces of the Ice Jade Scorpion and the Titan Snow Demon?" Lie Shuo's eyes flickered. "Do you know that these two soul beast tribes are deep in the Far North? And they are the absolute overlords here. Even the strong ones above the Soul Douluo level may not dare to go deep into them to look for them!!"
