The financial consortium heir should belong to the Li Clan. The relationship between the two clans isn't poor, as can be seen from Wang Qi's previous contacts with Li Tianyu and others.

This young man had once lured a warship, using the power of the Li Clan, trying to trap and kill me at sea, but I counter-killed him instead.

The young man and I also have a vendetta over a brother's murder.

At this moment, Fang Yu and this person are already in an undying and unceasing confrontation, both eager to eliminate each other to feel at ease.

"Have Luu Yuan investigate this person's identity and prepare for any response."

Fang Yu spoke softly, a glint of sharpness in his eyes.

...

"Fang Yu... is very strong!"

This young man was naturally Wang Ruiyang, who came to Qiyun Port to investigate the killing of Wang Qi.

He was on the public port, witnessing Fang Yu and the Salted Fish return safely to Qiyun Port. At that moment, his mind was jarred, involuntarily leaking his presence, which Fang Yu detected.

Wang Ruiyang was deeply shocked internally. He couldn't understand how Fang Yu's mere large cargo ship managed to counter-attack and kill Li Linhua's warship.

Their levels were fundamentally unmatched; Wang Ruiyang was certain Fang Yu would be killed from the moment he summoned Li Linhua.

But now, Fang Yu was safe, which meant...

Thinking of this, Wang Ruiyang glanced at his private chat interface, indeed seeing Li Linhua's account had been deactivated.

This meant... Li Linhua was already dead.

Fang Yu had indeed killed Li Linhua, and a large cargo ship had sunk a warship?

Wang Ruiyang's heart was shaking, feeling it incredulous.

"No matter how he did it, this person cannot be underestimated, and moreover..."

In his mind, Wang Ruiyang recalled the scene where the two were chasing and escaping.

In the Safe Sea Region, captains almost exclusively use their pure physical abilities. No captain would risk using extraordinary abilities, causing unnecessary trouble for themselves.

The two had just been caught in a chase and a retreat, using only pure physical abilities.

What astonished Wang Ruiyang was...

Fang Yu's pure physical energy level was unexpectedly stronger than his own.

This was incredibly hard to believe.

One must know that Fang Yu's vessel was merely at the large cargo ship level, while Wang Ruiyang's vessel belonged to the ship class.

Their levels differed by at least 10 grades.

Yet, even so, Fang Yu's physique level still exceeded his own.

This...

"Could it be that with each level, he increases his physique level?"

"But if so, Fang Yu's ship should be weak, how could it have the capability to counter-slay a warship?"

Wang Ruiyang mumbled, not believing that in a direct confrontation, Fang Yu's ship had an opportunity to sink Li Linhua's warship, it must have been that something happened amid Li Linhua's fall from grace.

But even so, a large cargo ship being able to trap and kill a warship represents power in itself!

Thinking of this, Wang Ruiyang called over his core crew members, saying to them: "I plan to no longer suppress the level, to raise the tier of the ship to the warship level."

Wang Ruiyang spoke seriously.

Actually... his experience was already sufficient, the ship was already at a stage ready to upgrade to warship levels.

The reason for suppressing the level and remaining at the ship class was to vie for a higher successor rank within the Wang Clan.

Within the consortium, ranks focus more on potential rather than immediate level.

A consortium will ultimately choose only 3-4 as the main core inheritors, while the rest would only be "ranked inheritors."

Therefore, many heirs would choose to suppress their level, demonstrating a more formidable combat power and potential within their ranks to elevate their successor rank.

But... now, Wang Ruiyang was somewhat disheartened by the Wang Clan's performance and didn't value the successor rank that much anymore.

At this moment, he wasn't very confident in his ability to kill Fang Yu, desiring to upgrade his level.

His crew member was slightly startled by Wang Ruiyang's words, then advised: "Captain, there's no need. Even if you don't value the consortium's successor position, just by elevating the rank, the resources you can acquire will increase. This is a substantial benefit, no need to abandon it."

"At this point, it's better to suppress the level, no hurry to upgrade."

"As for Fang Yu's side..."

In this man's eyes, a glimmer flickered, then he whispered to Wang Ruiyang: "We can continue to exploit others against each other."

"Even though Li Linhua's rank wasn't high within the Li Clan, the ongoing loss of three heirs is something absolutely unacceptable for them."

"We can withdraw to the back, not needing to intervene directly. Let the Li Clan find trouble for Fang Yu."

After hearing his crew member's words, Wang Ruiyang's eyes brightened, then he slowly nodded.

...

Fang Yu quietly memorized Wang Ruiyang's appearance and handed it over to Luo Kuan and others to investigate Wang Ruiyang's origins.

After that, he headed straight to the Alchemist Association.

Along the way, Fang Yu walked through the districts, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over a shop, and suddenly paused, somewhat surprised.

[Theological Modification Shop Qiyun Port Branch]

Theological Modification Shop...

Had unexpectedly moved its location?

From the previous corner, it had surprisingly relocated to the bustling area.

This was the city center of Qiyun City, and the Theological Modification Shop had rented such a huge store, seemingly having earned quite a lot recently.

"There are suspicions that the Meat Mountain might have some kind of beguiling ability that spreads at night, capable of controlling the captain's thoughts."
