Chapter 510: Chapter 508: She's Got It Under Control, Let Her Do It_1
"Yuehua?" Xu Ran looked toward Tang Yuehua. At this time, her eyes were filled with anxiety. Ever since she had confirmed her feelings, Xu Ran had become the most important person in her heart, even more important than her own life.
"Xu Ran, what happened to your injuries?" Tang Yuehua's voice carried a sob, as she looked at Xu Ran lying in the wheelchair, tears swirling in her eyes.
"It's nothing. But you, you're actually a Soul King now," Xu Ran used his spiritual power to detect the changes in Tang Yuehua's body, somewhat surprised by her transformation.
Tang Yuehua's talent was actually not weak, and her Martial Soul was quite special, naturally possessing the Noble Halo Domain. Although Tang Yuehua hadn't cultured much previously, her frequent visits to Yue Xuan to learn court etiquette counted as a form of alternative cultivation.
"System Missy, what kind of Martial Soul does Yuehua have?" Xu Ran couldn't help but ask.
"Tang Yuehua's Martial Soul, the Ruyi Circular Halo, is a support-type Martial Soul that can purify the mind, dispel vanity, and eliminate inner demons. At the same time, it has a reverse effect on enemies, causing them to lose themselves and fall into madness. Moreover, the Ruyi Circular Halo can transform into the most suitable object according to her will, changing a thousandfold."
"That strong?"
"Of course. Tang Yuehua's Martial Soul is similar to Yu Xiaogang's. It is because their own energy is insufficient that they can't awaken a more powerful Martial Soul."
Yu Xiaogang's original Martial Soul was supposed to be the Golden Holy Dragon, but due to an incomplete awakening, it turned into Luo San Pao.
Whereas Tang Yuehua, with innate Soul Power at level nine, evidently had a Martial Soul that should be much more powerful than Yu Xiaogang's Golden Holy Dragon.
"Xu Ran, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would still be muddling through life," Tang Yuehua was also somewhat excited. Her "Cultivation Level" was not far from that of a Soul Emperor now, and what was more surprising was that even though she had attached five Soul Rings at once, her Soul Power remained completely stable.
"Come on, let's perform a duet."
"Try using your Martial Soul to transform into a musical instrument," Xu Ran said. Tang Yuehua's Martial Soul mainly affected people's minds and consciousness. Such a Martial Soul was definitely considered powerful. And according to the System Missy, it seemed to be a group skill as well.
At this moment, the image of the Six-Fingered Piano Demon from a movie in his previous life appeared in his mind, and in the future, Tang Yuehua could develop in this direction.
In the Divine Realm, there is also a Music God/Goddess, securing a godhood for Tang Yuehua in the future.
"Xu Ran, you noticed my Martial Soul?" Tang Yuehua looked at Xu Ran in surprise, as she had never revealed her Martial Soul in front of Xu Ran before, and yet he was so clearly aware of it. Xu Ran was truly the greatest cultivator of ancient and modern times when it came to cultivation.
"You're my woman, how could I not see through you? I can not only see through but also pierce through," Xu Ran replied, somewhat annoyed, as he took out a white jade dongxiao from his storage soul tool, placing his fingers elegantly on the flute, his posture graceful.
Seeing this, Tang Yuehua also restrained the smile on her face, channeling her whole body's energy. She too was a lover of music and naturally wouldn't joke about something she cherished so dearly.
Performing a duet with Xu Ran was the happiest and most blissful time for her.
"Putting on airs," Bi Bidong muttered under her breath.
Seeing the beauty approaching Xu Ran, laughing and talking with him, one holding the flute and the other the zither, they looked like a perfect match made by heaven.
Watching this scene, for some reason, her heart felt sour, and she felt even more discontent.
Xu Ran, that scoundrel. As the Pope herself, she neglected the affairs of the Martial Soul Hall to keep him company, and there he was, making eyes at another woman.
Was she, the Pope, really so unattractive?
As the Female Pope with so many followers, countless people around the world wanted to prostrate themselves at her feet. Xu Ran actually didn't appreciate her, which could simply infuriate her to death.
If Xu Ran knew what Bi Bidong was thinking, he would only smile. When he paid attention to her, Bi Bidong accused him of being lecherous, yet when he didn't, she said he failed to appreciate her.
Fine then. Should he look or should he not?
Women, truly too difficult to please.
...
Tang Yuehua unleashed her Martial Soul, chanting a spell, and in an instant, her Martial Soul transformed into an ancient zither. As she plucked the strings, pleasant sounds emanated.
The two shared mutual affection and a heart-to-heart connection, playing an enduring and loving melody together, akin to a stream's endless flow. The delightful music of the heavens fell upon every heart, making everyone feel as if their souls were being cleansed.
Bi Bidong's gaze also shifted from disdain and arrogance to solemnity.
This feeling affected even her, albeit positively. If one were to listen to such music for a long period, they might be free of any inner demons in their "Cultivation Level".
"What kinds of people are these by Xu Ran's side, why are they all so powerful? This must be Tang Yuehua of Yue Xuan," Bi Bidong muttered to herself. Tang Yuehua was the sister of Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, a legitimate descendant of the Hao Tian Clan lineage, and also the Principal of Yue Xuan.
Martial Soul Hall had naturally investigated these details long ago.
"Xu Ran really is strange, having killed someone's brother yet still daring to flirt here, not fearing that his actions might be exposed and Tang Yuehua could fight him to the death," Bi Bidong pursed her lips. The spies of Martial Soul Hall were scattered across the Continent, so nothing could escape her eyes.
"However, Xu Ran's proficiency in the musical arts is indeed rare," Bi Bidong's gaze softened as she looked at Xu Ran. She originally thought that Xu Ran was just a brute with a powerful "Cultivation Level", but it turned out Xu Ran possessed such extraordinary talents in other areas as well.
In this regard, Tang Yuehua, as the Principal of Yue Xuan, was unparalleled across the world, yet she seemed to pale in comparison before Xu Ran.
Was Xu Ran a freak of nature?
After the piece concluded, Xiaowu and the others felt rejuvenated, their worn-out bodies from training recovering to their earlier ease.
Bi Bidong, however, had her eyes closed, immersed in appreciation.
Three days later.
The preliminary competition of the Continental Soul Master Academy Tournament began.
As the envoy from the Xingluo Empire and a genius whose reputation was rising on the Continent, Xu Ran was invited by Emperor Xue Ye to attend the event.
"Xu Ran, maybe I won't go," Bi Bidong, dressed in cool attire, nudged Xu Ran, looking at the thronging crowds with a kick of her beautiful leg at Xu Ran's foot, feeling somewhat flustered and uneasy.
How could Xu Ran be so bold?
As the Pope, she was accustomed to grand scenes. But now, the perspective was different; she was no longer the one everyone looked up to and revered. Instead, many people regarded her with different covetous glances, which made her uncomfortable.
"What are you afraid of? Don't you want to see Xue'er?" Xu Ran looked up towards the top. Emperor Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, a bishop from Soul Hall, and the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue).
"I do," Bi Bidong looked up, her gaze softening as she watched Xue Qinghe above. She had made many mistakes in the past and hurt Xue'er, but she wouldn't do that now.
She wanted to take Xue'er back to Soul Hall, especially keep her away from Xu Ran, that big oaf.
Even she had been tricked by Xu Ran; Xue'er definitely couldn't handle him.
Xue'er, naive and inexperienced, could not handle it on her own; she had to do it, and by reaching out with both hands, maybe she could take control.
Pah, what kind of thoughts were these?
Her main wish was for Xue'er to stay away from Xu Ran. Xu Ran was no good; just by looking at his face, one could tell he was a lecher, and in truth, he was even more so. Xu Ran certainly had inappropriate ideas about Xue'er, but she would never let Xu Ran succeed.
Fortunately, Xue'er's contact with Xu Ran was probably not that deep yet.
Xue'er, as she knew her, was very proud and would certainly disdain Xu Ran.
