Ruthless Flender!

(~˘▾˘)~~(˘▾˘~)

=====

For his fourth soul ring, Fang Yuan could be described as extremely satisfied.

In the beginning, there was indeed a sense of disappointment in Fang Yuan's heart. After all, the increase was so minimal, what could it help?

However, as he carefully sensed everything about this soul skill, he finally realized it.

Arming oneself to increase defense and attack power, while also being able to arm weapons for enhanced strength.

Isn't this exactly the Armament Haki from "One Piece"? Other than not being able to cause additional effects to the natural system(like damage of Armament Haki towards elemental fruits), this "Thousand-Ton Armament" is essentially no different from Armament Haki, the colors are nearly identical too! Anyway, whether there are Devil Fruit users of the Natural series in the Douluo Continent or not, having or not having this attribute doesn't make much difference.

If it were for ordinary people, the strength of this "Thousand-Jin Armament" would be passable, after all, even if it's an enhancement to weapons, it would still be limited.

After all, Douluo is, in the end, a feudal and backward society, unlike the later stages of Douluo II and Douluo III, where all sorts of attack-type soul devices are flying around.

In this era, the concept of weapons isn't really advanced, the most powerful weapon is still oneself, so the strength of "Thousand-Jin Armament" isn't considered high.

But don't forget, is Fang Yuan an ordinary person? Don't forget, Fang Yuan's martial soul is the Sharingan!

Within the Sharingan lies concealed power, within the realm above the Three Tomoe Sharingan, there's the ultimate eye technique called 'Susanoo'! When combined with this armed technique, the scene...

Fang Yuan swung his palm, and the "armament" covering the blade gradually faded away. He looked at the four soul rings hovering around him – one yellow, two purple, and one black – and nodded in satisfaction.

The current Fang Yuan is a level 41 Control System Battle Soul Hall student, with one yellow, two purple, and one black soul ring. His four soul skills are: Mental Impact, Golden Crocodile Transformation, Dark Gold Radiance, and Thousand-Jin Armament.

On his body are two soul bones: the external soul bone, the Dark Gold Claw of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone. The skills they carry are Dark Gold Terrorclaw, Flight, Wildfire Cannot destroy Grass, Revival with the Spring Wind.

Now that the soul rings are in place, he doesn't need to hunt soul beasts and acquire soul rings for a short period of time.

All preparations are in place, only the opportunity is missing.

Next up is obtaining the Immortal Herb!

"Get ready, we'll set off directly for the Sunset Forest!"

"Yes, Holy Son!"

The Slaughter Knight nodded, filled with curiosity.

What kind of things are in the Sunset Forest that could hold such charm and be so highly regarded by Fang Yuan?

But he didn't ask further. Anyway, when the time comes, he'll know.

A moment later, the Slaughter Knight drove the carriage and headed towards the direction of the Sunset Forest.

Meanwhile, in Soto City.

A strong figure, somewhat hunched over, walked tremblingly towards the outskirts of Soto City.

"I've prepared a carriage outside the city. You can leave on your own."

A faint voice sounded in his ears. The strong figure trembled suddenly, lifted his head, looked around with bloodshot eyes.

But there was no one around. Apparently, the person speaking to him was using soul power to create a sound thread to communicate with him, not coming in person.

"Don't blame me for being ruthless. You know the rules of Shrek Academy. Your foundation is damaged, it'll be extremely difficult to improve your strength. Rather than staying in the academy and struggling, it's better to find a place to recuperate."

"Moreover, given your current condition..."

"Dean, are you truly this ruthless!"

Almost gritting his teeth, Dai Mubai clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, and almost roared, "Over these years, how much have I sacrificed for the academy! Funds, recruiting for the academy—can you so easily ignore all of this?"

"..."

Flender remained silent for a moment, then sighed, "Mubai, Tang San's teacher was once my close friend. Tang San joining Shrek Academy was his teacher's wish. Naturally, I cannot refuse."

"Originally, you had the possibility of becoming alumni and even brothers who fought side by side. But because of this incident, I..."

"Ridiculous!"

Dai Mubai spat and sneered, "That kid's methods are ruthless, every move pushes people to the brink of death. Who would want to become brothers with someone like that? Wouldn't it be bad luck for eight lifetimes?!"

"Even though that kid is a disciple of your friend, what does it have to do with you, Flender? But I am your student!"

"You can be so generous with someone unrelated, yet abandon your own student? Hahaha, laughable, truly ridiculous, Flender!"

Dai Mubai burst into laughter, tears glistening in his eyes. His muscular body even trembled with excitement.

"Outrageous!"

Flender's voice turned cold, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

In his eyes, the current Dai Mubai was already a waste. As a Soul Saint, he was speaking with Dai Mubai like this, arranging a carriage for him. This was already an act of a good thing.

And even so, Dai Mubai dared to show this attitude, which was utterly lacking in tact.

"Dai Mubai, stop spouting nonsense. I'm already showing you mercy by letting you leave. Don't forget, if it weren't for me, you would already be Tang San's ghost!"

"Ghost? Then let me die, why bother saving me!"

Dai Mubai yelled, pounding his chest with his fist. "What does it matter now? What am I now?"

Dai Mubai was already a person in despair. He fled to the Heaven Dou Empire because he couldn't face reality and destiny. He drowned himself in alcohol, pleasure, and music to escape and deceive himself.

And now?

Without his two coins in his crotch, he couldn't even deceive himself anymore!

At this moment, he was less satisfied with living than with dying!

"Enough, no more pointless words."

Flender shook his head. "Over these years, you indeed contributed quite a bit to the academy. Saving your life this time settles our debt. Leave as soon as possible."

"Return to Star Luo, or go to another city, but don't come back."

"You!"

Dai Mubai wanted to say something more, but the sensation of that soul power had already disappeared.

Obviously, Flender didn't want to waste words with him anymore and left directly.

Dai Mubai clenched his fists, sharp nails piercing his palms, drawing blood.

His bloodshot eyes stared fixedly in the direction of Shrek Academy; his teeth almost crushed by the force of his grinding.

He never imagined he would end up like this.

The majestic Prince of Star Luo had actually become like this!

"Tang San! Shrek!"

"We're not finished! We're not finished!"
