Conspiracy of Fang Yuan!

(づ￣ ³￣)づFocussing on this fic again!(づ￣ ³￣)づ

Concealing his soul power, Fang Yuan composed his emotions and stepped out of the room.

Observing the meticulous and silent Slaughter Knight guarding outside the door, Fang Yuan nodded slightly, feeling comforted.

"A twelve-year-old at the forty-level rank, truly unimaginable, incredibly unimaginable!"

The Slaughter Knight exclaimed, assessing Fang Yuan up and down. He felt that the current Fang Yuan seemed somewhat different from before, but he couldn't pinpoint the exact difference.

He could only attribute it to the effects brought about by the advancement of soul power.

"Holy Son, there's no time to waste. Let's go directly to obtain the fourth soul ring. I have a feeling that with your current state, even if it's a ten-thousand-year soul ring, you could easily absorb it."

"A ten-thousand-year fourth ring, tsk tsk, if people in the world found out, I'm afraid many jaws would drop!"

The Slaughter Knight was brimming with enthusiasm as if he himself was the one about to obtain the soul ring, not Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan smiled and shook his head, saying, "No rush."

"No rush?"

The corner of the Slaughter Knight's mouth twitched, baffled and speechless.

You're not in a hurry for a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, because you can't absorb the soul ring yet. But if you don't absorb the fourth soul ring, you won't be able to break through your level. Shouldn't you be in a rush for that?

"Could it be that you already have plans for the fourth soul ring, Holy Son?"

"Not really."

Fang Yuan shook his head, "However, I hope we can head to the Sunset Forest as soon as possible."

"Huh?"

The Slaughter Knight looked utterly perplexed. Go to the Sunset Forest to obtain the fourth soul ring?

The Star Dou Great Forest was one of the three most famous places where soul beasts congregated on the Douluo Continent. It housed a wide variety of soul beasts, making it the best place for soul masters to select their soul rings.

Fang Yuan's previous soul rings were all obtained from the Star Dou Great Forest. Whether it was the second soul ring, the Golden Crocodile, or the third soul ring, the Dark Golden Dread-claw Bear, they were undoubtedly top-tier soul beasts.

Now that it was time for the fourth soul ring, the Slaughter Knight was thinking about finding an extremely suitable top-tier ten-thousand-year soul beast for Fang Yuan. But Fang Yuan was saying they should not go to the Star Dou Great Forest, but instead to the Sunset Forest!

The Sunset Forest was also a well-known soul-beast forest on the Douluo Continent, but its size was much smaller compared to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Although there were many soul beasts in the Sunset Forest, there were not many that reached the level of ten-thousand years or above. Most of them remained between the levels of a thousand years and ten thousand years.

Even if the Slaughter Knight could find one or two ten-thousand-year soul beasts, they would likely be mediocre ones. Even if they were rare, they might not be suitable for Fang Yuan.

Seeing the puzzled expression on the Slaughter Knight's face, Fang Yuan immediately realized there was a misunderstanding, feeling somewhat speechless.

"I'm going to the Sunset Forest for something else, not necessarily to obtain the fourth soul ring there."

"We can retrieve the soul ring these couple of days and then head to the Sunset Forest."

"Ah, I see!"

The Slaughter Knight chuckled awkwardly, understanding the situation now. But at the same time, he was quite curious.

What could be so important in the Sunset Forest that the Holy Son attached so much importance to it? He was even willing to let go of keeping an eye on the hundred-thousand-year soul beast and not focus on selecting and searching for his own soul ring.

"At that time, you'll know."

Fang Yuan smiled mysteriously, saying, "Moreover, that might be your great opportunity!"

"My opportunity?" The Slaughter Knight blinked.

"Ah, if my plan works out, then I promise, besides anything else, I'll help you break through the restraints of level ninety-five and take you even further!" Fang Yuan continued.

"What, what?!" The Slaughter Knight was taken aback, his eyes filled with incredulity.

To guarantee breaking through the restraints of level ninety-five? How could that be possible?!

He knew his own situation inside out; regarding his condition, the Slaughter Knight was more knowledgeable than anyone else. He had been a Title Douluo for decades and stuck at level ninety-five for over ten years.

For these past years, he had been constantly striving to shatter his limitations, to reach level ninety-six (ninety-five to ninety-eight were Super Douluo, while ninety-nine was a Limit Douluo). But no matter how hard he tried, level ninety-six seemed like an insurmountable gap, leaving him powerless.

"Holy Son, I understand my situation well enough. You need not say such things," the Slaughter Knight considered Fang Yuan's words as an attempt at motivation, sighed, and said somewhat disheartened, "My body has long been corroded by killing aura, my origin is damaged. Breaking through levels is out of the question. If I can live a couple more years, that would already be fortunate, let alone breaking through levels."

"However, Holy Son, rest assured. While I may have no hope of advancing further in this lifetime, I believe that under my guidance, you will undoubtedly grow into a top-tier powerhouse, achieving heights beyond even mine or even the King's!"

The Slaughter Knight spoke in a deep voice, his sincere manner even moving Fang Yuan.

However, he also knew that Immortal Grass was incredibly magical for the people of the Douluo Continent, nearly the most valuable thing across the entire land.

Among the Shrek Seven Devils, except for Tang San with his Twin Martial Spirits and Oscar with his Innate Full Soul Power, the others were quite ordinary. Despite decent aptitudes, they were far from reaching the top tier.

For those like Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong with defective martial souls, breaking through to the level of Title Douluo was a distant dream, let alone reaching Spirit Douluo level; it was an impossible feat.

Yet, with the assistance of Immortal Grass, they not only compensated for their martial soul deficiencies, but also shattered the limits of soul masters, becoming legendary gods themselves.

It could be said that the reason the Shrek Seven Devils achieved godhood was largely due to Immortal Grass!

Though the Slaughter Knight's condition was severe, Fang Yuan believed that with the aid of Immortal Grass, breaking through level ninety-five for him was entirely feasible.

"Oh right, Holy Son, that person you had me keep an eye on seems to have also arrived in Soto City."

The Slaughter Knight didn't really know what exactly Fang Yuan was up to but decided not to guess, redirecting the conversation, "However, Holy Son, be careful with that young girl, with your two maids, it was because are far away from their clans, and the Zhu Family doesn't possess any formidable individuals."

"But the family behind this young girl has two Title Douluo, and the strength of one of them might even surpass mine!"

The Slaughter Knight awkwardly hinted at Fang Yuan, leaving him slightly speechless.

"In your eyes, am I the kind of person who only cares about that?" Fang Yuan rolled his eyes helplessly, not bothering to explain much, "What about the strength of the guards around that girl?"

"Soul Masters, though I've also sensed a Soul Douluo hiding in the shadows," the Slaughter Knight honestly replied.

A Soul Douluo...

Fang Yuan contemplated for a moment. It was only natural; given that girl's status within her sect and her personality, if she didn't have powerful guards with her on this journey, it would be strange.

"Captain, I have a task for you."

"Please, go ahead."

Fang Yuan winked at the Slaughter Knight.

"Keep her guards occupied, I have an important matter to attend to."
