"Oh, by the way, Xiao Yuan."
"Can it just be both of us?"
Ah Yin's soft voice reverberates in the garden.
Han Yuan raised his eyebrow and replied, "But wouldn't it be safer to bring Senior Dugu along? We also can explore if his newly absorbed spirit rings affected him more than this."
Ah Yin pouted a little, "I want to spend more time with you, Xiao Yuan! If we bring someone along, it wouldn't be special!"
Han Yuan was speechless, too. "Well..."
Honestly, he wants to spend more time with Ah Yin. Not only because she was his mother but also because of her spirit beast's inheritances, which would help him improve many of his existing creations.
"Also, I can feel your strength is no less than a Super Douluo." Ah Yin said with a smile. "Your presence is enough to make me feel safe, so we don't need another Title Douluo."
"..." Dugu Bo's mouth twitched slightly.
'Hey, at least don't say it when I'm still around!'
Although what Ah Yin said wasn't wrong, Dugu Bo still felt a slight ache in his heart. He glanced at Han Yuan and hoped he'd reject Ah Yin, but he was shocked that his young master agreed with the transformed spirit beast's request.
"Very well, it's just the two of us." Han Yuan nodded calmly.
After thinking about it, Ah Yin was right. His current strength gave him the confidence to travel around the Douluo Continent leisurely, including the Star Dou Forest.
'Nani!' Dugu Bo was shocked.
'How could you abandon me like this, young master?'
'You actually broke Bros before Hoes code!'
"Senior, I will bring you a souvenir." Han Yuan felt Dugu Bo's betrayed gaze and gave him an apologetic smile,
Dugu Bo smiled forcibly, "Please, do, Young Master."
'You're breaking my heart!'
After that, Han Yuan and Ah Yin left Dugu Bo to watch over the garden while adjusting to his condition.
Han Yuan carried Ah Yin in the azure sky, flying with the improved self-creating flying skill. At the moment, Han Yuan's wings look like sharp-pointed silver butterfly wings.
He has transformed the Purple Thunderbolt Wings into Silver Thunderlight Wings based on Light-Chasing Butterfly King's wings, one of the fastest spirit beasts. The change made his wings lighter, easier to control, and consume less energy.
Swoosh!
"Are you okay?" Han Yuan glanced down at Ah Yin.
Ah Yin's arms hugged Han Yuan's neck as she buried her head deeply into his chest, "I'm good..."
"I've never felt so good~!"
Han Yuan couldn't hear the second part of her reply due to the winds, but he figured the lonely woman might be excited because she hadn't flown for ten years. After all, she got trapped in that god-forsaken cave for too long.
Unfortunately, Ah Yin couldn't stay in her comfort zone forever.
Han Yuan's flying speed was faster than she expected. Even high-leveled spirit beasts, who focused on speed, weren't as fast as him.
They landed near the Soul Hunting Town, and Han Yuan disguised himself with a Life Replication using the biometric of a random guy there. Yes, he wanted to test how good his new spirit skill was.
After using Life Replication, Han Yuan's appearance transformed into an average young man with short, spiky brown hair, two short locks behind his head, and light brown eyes. His aura also changed, becoming a bit lighter with a sunny tinge.
He tried summoning the disguised martial and saw his right arm covered with a purple gauntlet, shrouded by a flicker of white lightning.
He couldn't help but chuckle in amusement, "Haha, what is the odd of me replicating someone with lightning-attributed martial soul?"
"But this is just an extra skin because the bloodline and martial soul aren't real."
"Well, I can make it real enough." Han Yuan mumbled.
He glanced at Ah Yin, "What do you think of my disguise?"
Ah Yin smiled, "I can still recognize you. While Life Replication can mimic others' appearance, martial soul, and even bloodline aura, it can't change your beautiful soul, Xiao Yuan."
"As you said, it's just extra skin at the end of the day."
"However, I hope this skill is useful to you."
Han Yuan nodded, "You don't have to worry about that, Ah Yin. My True Spirituality Art and Secret of Souls covered that matter."
Although Life Replication has flaws, it doesn't matter for Han Yuan, who had a near-flawless mastery of spiritual power and souls. He can easily make a fake persona and deceive anyone beneath the divine level.
"Is that so? As expected of my son~!" Ah Yin clapped happily. Then, she also used Life Replication, though it was more of an innate technique than a spirit skill.
Ah Yin quickly changed into a young woman around the age of Han Yuan's disguise form. She has long, black hair in a low ponytail and amiable yet gentle yellow eyes.
Ah Yin hugged Han Yuan's arm, "Let's go!"
Han Yuan hummed, "Mm."
They entered the Star Dou Forest together, sightseeing in the lush ancient forest. It's hard to believe they are this casual when entering one of the most dangerous places in the Douluo Continent.
Any other spirit masters would have counted their times and hoped for the best in case the worst happened.
"Xiao Yuan, what do you think of the spirit beast's current state?" asked Ah Yin so suddenly.
Han Yuan glanced at her and replied, "Horrible."
"Right? It feels like the world is against us..." Ah Yin laughed bitterly. "We are destined to become fodders for this unkind system forever."
Han Yuan replied, "Well, don't lose hope. After I become a God, I might be able to change the rules of the Douluo Planet, giving the spirit beasts an easier time in their breakthrough and a chance to ascend to the Divine Realm."
"If that wasn't possible, we can always move the spirit beasts to a much safer and friendlier place."
"Really?" Ah Yin's eyes glimmered. "Won't that put too much pressure on your back?"
Han Yuan grinned, "I have carried too much pressure for my own good, and one more won't change anything."
"Not to mention, the Douluo Planet really needs to change. If things stay like this, we will definitely stay at the bottom forever."
"So, don't worry."
"I will do my best to fix this world."
"Xiao Yuan..." Ah Yin's heart is touched by Han Yuan's words.
"You're indeed my son~!"
With that, Ah Yin became even closer to Han Yuan. As they walked into the Star Dou Forest's depths, she started picking wild berries and fed them to Han Yuan, wanting to spoil him.
Han Yuan followed the flow casually, eating sweet wild berries fed by Ah Yin. 'This is starting to feel more like a date than a spirit ring hunt.' Such an odd thought flashed in Han Yuan's mind before drifting away like a haze.
"So, where are our targets exactly?" Han Yuan asked calmly.
"As far as I know, the Dark Golden Vajra Vines is a plant-type spirit beast with strong life and gold attributes, making it resilient in defense while possessing unparalleled attack power."
"Mm, The Dark Golden Vajra Vines is only inferior to Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in terms of attack." Ah Yin responded with a nod. "But this plant is nothing compared to the king of the Monster Eyed Tree."
"The Monster Eyed Tree King is a 100,000-year-old spirit beast nearing the 150,000-year-old mark."
"It has extreme dominion over spiritual power, making it a headache to fight."
"The Monster Eyed Tree King also possessed a life-saving skill that is no less powerful than my life regeneration, making it a long-lasting and formidable foe..."
"If possible, I want the Monster Eyed Tree King as my seventh spirit ring or Spirit Soul. However, the Dark Golden Vajra Vines is fine, too."
"Hmm, we are about to reach Monster Eye Tree King's territory." Ah Yin finished her words while using the blue silver network to sense the hidden aura in this part of the forest.
"Heh, the Monster Eyed Tree King has discovered us!" Han Yuan did the same and discovered an extreme spiritual power a mile away. And it went both ways.
