Fang Yuan's Seventh Soul Ring

Dugu Bo had transformed into a little dragon-man before Fang Yuan's eyes. Fang Yuan strolled up to him.

Under Dugu Bo's astonished gaze, Fang Yuan reached out and poked and prodded at him, studying him for quite a while.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing, kid?" Dugu Bo snapped, angrily swatting Fang Yuan's hand aside.

This brat's touching was strangely comfortable.

Fang Yuan did not mind and smiled. "I'm checking whether your martial soul has developed properly. Judging from the strength of your martial soul and the fact that your poison cultivation hasn't been dispelled, your martial soul cannot yet be considered a true Azure Dragon.

"To be precise, your current martial soul should be called an Azure Poison Flood Dragon. The reason it did not mutate into a true Azure Dragon is probably because your cultivation has already reached the Title Douluo level, and your poison cultivation is too deeply ingrained. Your martial soul itself no longer has much room for reshaping."

Dugu Bo curled his lip. "If I say it's an Azure Dragon, then it's an Azure Dragon."

The joy of his martial soul's mutation gradually subsided, and only then did Dugu Bo notice Fang Yuan's changes.

He said in surprise, "Eh, kid, you've changed quite a bit too, haven't you? You seem a lot more handsome, and your soul power has reached rank seventy."

Fang Yuan's Supreme Immortal Embryo martial soul had originally been his previous body. Naturally, the mutation of his martial soul had affected his appearance as well.

Fang Yuan's looks, already handsome enough before, had now become even more striking, with an even stronger sense of presence.

Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Fang Yuan merely smiled faintly. "It's only a shell. When do you plan to let your granddaughter undergo a martial soul mutation as well?"

Dugu Bo's expression turned solemn. "My granddaughter is fifteen this year, and her soul power is rank twenty-seven. Can she endure a martial soul mutation now? Does she need any preparations?"

Fang Yuan nodded. "Don't worry, Old Poison. With the pills I refined, the martial soul mutation will not harm her body. The earlier the mutation happens, the better. The earlier a martial soul mutates, the greater its potential for reshaping.

"Moreover, a martial soul mutating in a beneficial direction will improve physical constitution to a certain extent. If your granddaughter undergoes the mutation now, the age limit of the soul rings she can absorb in the future will be higher. Perhaps even her third ring could be a soul ring of around three to four thousand years."

Fang Yuan's words delighted Dugu Bo beyond measure. In that case, not only would his granddaughter be spared the pain of her martial soul's poison backlash, she could become even more talented?

It was settled. A double blessing!

He laughed heartily and patted Fang Yuan on the shoulder. "Good! Kid, wait here a little longer. I'll bring my granddaughter over right away and have you help mutate her martial soul!"

With that, Dugu Bo hurriedly prepared to leave.

Behind him, Fang Yuan quickly reminded him, "Don't bring your granddaughter into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. She can't withstand the aura here. Let her undergo the mutation outside the valley."

Watching Dugu Bo shoot up along the cliff face like a green bird in a few swift leaps, Fang Yuan had no idea whether he had heard him. He could only shake his head.

A round trip from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to Heaven Dou City would take about a day, which was enough time for him to obtain his soul ring.

Thus, Fang Yuan did not linger here. Instead, he decided to go directly and obtain his seventh soul ring.

Before leaving, he instructed Tang San to wait obediently here and not leave the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well under any circumstances.

Tang San nodded obediently in agreement.

In truth, that reminder was somewhat unnecessary. Steep cliff walls surrounded the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well on all sides. Tang San was only six years old now; even if he wanted to leave, where could he go?

Fang Yuan left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, passed through the poisonous miasma, and returned to Sunset Forest.

He found a high spot and looked around, then sniffed the air before choosing a direction.

There was actually a small trick to identifying the direction of high-level soul beasts.

Within a high-level soul beast's territory, other soul beasts rarely entered, so the air was usually fresher.

In places without high-level soul beasts, low-level soul beasts were mixed together in abundance, making the air somewhat more murky.

Within a forest, ordinary people found it difficult to distinguish where the air was fresh and where it was foul.

However, Fang Yuan's Supreme Immortal Embryo martial soul was also a special kind of body martial soul, and it provided a certain enhancement to his senses.

Following the chosen direction, Fang Yuan's speed allowed him to quickly sense a change in the atmosphere of the surrounding environment.

Sunset Forest was thick with trees, and the sounds of insects and birds were naturally plentiful. Yet after entering this area, everything had almost immediately become utterly silent.

This signal undoubtedly warned Fang Yuan that a high-level soul beast was nearby and had marked this place as its territory.

Yet while this signal served as a warning to other creatures, to Fang Yuan, it was no different from a message from his girlfriend saying, "Everyone at home is out." It only made him more eager.

Fang Yuan did not conceal his aura or presence in the slightest. He strode toward the depths of the forest, and before long, he heard a rustling sound.

Fang Yuan turned his head. At some unknown time, an enormous tiger with a dark purple body and pupils gleaming with pale gold-metallic light had appeared behind him.

Beyond ferocity, its tiger eyes carried a trace of confusion.

As the overlord of this place, it had never seen a human so brazenly barge into its territory.

Its tens of thousands of years of cultivation had granted this tiger considerable intelligence. Although the human before it had an aura far weaker than its own, it still remained wary.

"Dark purple all over, with pale glowing eyes. This should be a White-Eyed Demon Tiger, and a White-Eyed Demon Tiger King with around seventy thousand years of cultivation at that. My luck isn't bad."

Fang Yuan examined the tiger from head to toe and nodded. Without further courtesy, his second, third, and fourth soul rings emerged, converging behind him and transforming into a massive blood-red cloak.

Immortal Dao Killer Move—Incomplete Freedom Transformation!

Roar!

The White-Eyed Demon Tiger King let out a high-pitched roar, then turned and fled without hesitation.

The kingly dominance of a forest ruler gave it the courage to face any opponent. Yet its beastly instincts continuously sounded warnings in its mind.

After the human before it underwent his transformation, the aura emanating from him immediately made the White-Eyed Demon Tiger King abandon any thought of hunting him. It turned and ran.

"Hmph, trying to run?"

Fang Yuan had come to hunt a soul beast and obtain a soul ring. How could he let it escape?

With a bang, Fang Yuan stomped heavily on the ground. His body became a straight blood-red streak as he shot toward the White-Eyed Demon Tiger King.

Roar!

Sensing the aura closing in behind it in an instant, a vicious gleam erupted in the White-Eyed Demon Tiger King's eyes.

Its opponent's speed far exceeded its own. It would be caught before long.

Since it could not escape, it would stake everything on one final struggle!

The White-Eyed Demon Tiger King abruptly twisted around, opening its jaws wide to launch an attack.

But Fang Yuan was faster. Almost the moment it turned, he had already arrived before it with his fist raised, smashing that enormous tiger head into the ground with a single punch!

A pitch-black soul ring slowly emerged.
