Li Yuan's Style Changed

"Juhua, you're already this fat, and you're still eating!"

Just then, an incomparably handsome young man entered from outside.

The youth looked like an exiled immortal, breathtakingly handsome and extraordinary in bearing. His face bore some resemblance to Hu Ge from Earth, though he was even more perfect than Hu Ge. Combined with his well-proportioned height of around 1.7 meters, he drew everyone's attention simply by standing there.

Unfortunately, in a place like this, his handsomeness was entirely wasted on the blind. None of the beasts here cared whether he was handsome or not.

In the eyes of these spirit beasts, what they would eat for lunch was probably more important.

Looking at the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beasts he had raised into Social Waste Beasts, Li Yuan felt a stabbing pain in his heart.

Just a few years ago, they had all been majestic kings among spirit beasts. How had their entire style changed into this?

Especially you, Juhua. You're a dignified Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. How did you fall so far too? You've even gotten this fat, yet you still have the nerve to eat!

For a moment, Li Yuan felt utterly heartbroken.

That's right. This peerlessly handsome youth before them was none other than Li Yuan. As for why his appearance and build had changed so drastically, that story had to begin four years ago.

Four years ago, Li Yuan had followed Juhua to raid Dugu Bo's lair. He had eaten quite a few Heavenly Treasures from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes and drunk the spring water within them as well.

Then he got carried away. While fleeing Dugu Bo's pursuit, he mouthed off at the heavens, the earth, and even the air, and even gave Dugu Bo a Keyboard.

Showing off felt great for a moment, but after it was over, Li Yuan met with tragedy.

He had mouthed off to Juhua quite a bit along the way too. Juhua simply hadn't found a chance to teach him a lesson at the time.

Once Dugu Bo had been driven away by the spirit beasts of the Sunset Great Forest, Juhua began settling accounts with Li Yuan.

Well, in summary, Li Yuan survived in the end. He just got beaten up a few times.

The kind of beatings that left him with only one breath remaining.

Juhua even claimed it was to train Li Yuan's combat awareness and resistance to blows.

Heh, she just wanted to beat him up, that damned big pig's trotter!

Of course, that wasn't the point. The point was that after taking a few beatings, Li Yuan discovered that he had suddenly awakened an ability.

A very special ability. Li Yuan suddenly realized that he could alter his appearance.

In other words, he could control his looks, his body shape, and even alter the appearance of his martial soul and the colors of his soul rings according to his wishes.

As for how exactly this worked, well, Li Yuan had no idea either. He had asked Juhua, but she had been equally baffled. She could only guess that perhaps Li Yuan possessed spirit beast bloodline and had awakened some strange soul skill.

Fine. He might not have known where this ability came from, but it was useful, and that was enough.

Li Yuan had never liked his delicate features paired with a broad, muscular build. Now that he had finally unlocked the Face Sculpting function, he naturally could not ignore it.

He immediately gave himself Hu Ge's face. Over the past four years, whenever he had nothing better to do, he sculpted his face, continuously refining it until he had finally created a face so handsome it could shake the heavens and make ghosts weep. Paired with a height slightly over 1.7 meters, it was perfect.

Of course, this was really only a form of deception. More accurately, it was like the transformation spells used by monsters that turned into humans in certain fantasy worlds.

Li Yuan's essence had not changed. In fact, this Transformation Technique was a restraint on him.

In this state, he could not unleash his full strength. His power would be weakened to a certain degree. If he truly needed to fight with everything he had, he would still have to revert to that delicate-faced, broad-backed, muscular appearance.

Oh, and over these four years, Li Yuan had grown quite a bit taller. He had now surpassed three meters in height and looked like a small giant. His muscles were well-developed, and he was as sturdy as an iron tower.

Li Yuan could now confirm one thing: he really was not a proper human. Douluo Continent might be fantastical, but as far as he knew, there were no humans on Douluo Continent who could grow to three meters tall.

Fine, if he wasn't human, then he wasn't human. Li Yuan took it rather well and did not dwell on the matter.

Besides, now that he could sculpt his face, he did not have to worry about his style being off. No matter how tall or muscular he grew, he could just alter himself.

And he could sculpt a handsome face for himself too. Even on Douluo Continent, being handsome was extremely important.

If you were not handsome enough, then even if you were strong, it was all for nothing.

If you didn't believe it, just look at the Protagonist Group. The first generation of the Shrek Seven Devils had produced three couples in total. The only single dog among them was the fatty, Ma Hongjun.

From this, it could be concluded that even in fantasy worlds, fat people had no rights unless they were protagonists. In that case, they could do whatever they wanted.

Take Zhou Weiqing from the neighboring world, for example. He was a fatty too, yet with a single long spear, he had pierced through the entire continent. If Ma Hongjun from the Douluo world knew about that, he would probably die of envy.

Well, perhaps it was not entirely due to protagonist aura. Maybe Zhou Weiqing had some special talent, like exceptional stamina?

Then there was nothing to be done about it. It only proved one thing: having a special talent was truly very important!

It might even be more useful than good looks.

All right, that was just a joke. Back to the matter at hand.

Ahem. No matter what, good looks were still very useful. Li Yuan clearly had no desire to become a ten-thousand-year single dog like Ma Hongjun.

So, since he had the means, making a few minor adjustments to his appearance was only reasonable.

Thus, after four whole years of fine-tuning, Li Yuan's appearance had become what it was now.

Although he had wasted quite a bit of time on his face, Li Yuan was extremely satisfied with his current looks. At the very least, he would not have to worry about being unable to find a girlfriend in the future.

However, Li Yuan was not the only one who had changed over the past four years. While Li Yuan became more and more handsome, Juhua and several spirit beast kings of the Sunset Great Forest had also fallen into depravity.

If one really looked into it, this was technically Li Yuan's fault, though his original intentions had been good.

Since he could not leave the Sunset Great Forest anytime soon, Li Yuan had thought about improving his quality of life.

So he built this wooden house in the core region of the Sunset Great Forest, intending to settle down for a while and occasionally make delicious food to reward himself.

That was how the tragedy began.
