Capítulo 60: Chapter 59: Wang Dong'er’s Admiration for Qian Ran
"Fighting again? You really are something else," Wang Dong'er said, her big eyes widening.
"Was it Dai Huabin and his group?" Among the freshmen, Dai Huabin and the other talents in different classes were also gaining recognition, almost as much as Qian Ran. Despite Qian Ran's outrageous strength, his cultivation level was relatively low. For many, cultivation rank remained the primary measure of strength. Even though people had seen him defeat Thunderclap Beibei, some found it hard to believe due to the sheer improbability of it.
After all, that achievement sounded too miraculous.
As for Qian Ran's recent scuffle with Beibei and Xu Sanshi, and his apprenticeship with the Soul Tool Department's Dean, Xian Lin'er—only Zhou Yi knew the details. If this got out, even his admirers would be forced to second-guess.
Qian Ran was simply too strong, to the point that it seemed unbelievable.
"Dai Huabin? He's nothing. Even if I gave him both my hands and feet, he couldn't beat me," Qian Ran replied dismissively. Dai Huabin had already broken through to the Soul Elder rank, showing talent comparable to Beibei and Xu Sanshi. But Qian Ran never saw him as a threat.
"Oh, really? If you had no hands and feet, how would you fight?" Wang Dong'er laughed, picturing the absurd scene and finding it impossible not to smile.
To her, Qian Ran was just bragging.
But she loved his confidence—it was very charming.
"Any way I want, I guess? Do you really think I'd need to get close to someone like him? That would only dirty my fists," Qian Ran replied with a smile. Dai Huabin wasn't even on the same level as Huo Yuhao. If he'd encountered Dai Huabin during the freshman assessments, he wouldn't have hesitated to knock him out cold.
This guy was a brute, responsible for Huo Yuhao's mother, Huo Yun'er's death.
She must have been quite a beauty.
For a noble of Duke status to notice an ordinary civilian woman, her appearance would have to be outstanding.
Not that Qian Ran had any particular interest in Huo Yun'er.
He hadn't met Huo Yuhao's mother, and the original story didn't offer much detail.
But it was brutal.
To gang up on a woman and beat her so severely that she succumbed to illness… an utter waste.
If Qian Ran had been born into the same decadent lifestyle as Dai Huabin, he might have thought, Heh, well...
And then he'd have a powerful heir to call him "Dad" in the future. Why not?
"So, who was it then?" Wang Dong'er pouted slightly.
She knew Qian Ran's brilliance attracted many jealous gazes.
"No big deal. It was just the Inner Court's senior sister, Zhang Lexuan—a Soul Douluo, that's all," Qian Ran replied nonchalantly. Such impressive accomplishments had definitely given him a bit of an ego.
Despite being a freshman, Qian Ran's true strength wasn't far behind that of the Inner Court's senior students.
"The Inner Court… and the Senior Sister?"
Wang Dong'er was completely stunned. She was a freshman too, yet she had never come into contact with the mysterious Inner Court. To Outer Court students, the Inner Court was a highly revered place. Inner Court students didn't live with Outer Court students; in fact, many didn't even see the Inner Court elites throughout their studies.
The Inner Court represented true genius! And Qian Ran had somehow offended its Senior Sister?
"You didn't… flirt with her, did you?" Wang Dong'er speculated. With Qian Ran's flirty tendencies, if the Inner Court senior sister was beautiful, he might very well have tried to make a move. After all, he had a track record!
"Of course not. It was all because of Beibei. Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan is actually Beibei's childhood betrothed…" Qian Ran sighed. Was he that predictable? Sure, he could be cheeky, but he knew his limits. With such a gap in strength, he wasn't looking to get beaten up.
Taking this opportunity, Qian Ran shared all that had transpired with Wang Dong'er over the past few days.
There was no need to hide these events from her.
This girl could be suspicious by nature.
Better to be upfront than to have her find out later and hold it against him.
Besides, he was hoping to win over Zhang Lexuan, so this would set the stage for Wang Dong'er to get used to the idea.
Listening to Qian Ran's story was like hearing a fantastic tale. It was hard to believe so much had happened in such a short time. She had been by his side daily, yet he'd experienced so much beyond what she imagined.
Each part of his story left her in awe.
But most impressive was Qian Ran's strength; he'd managed to contend with the Inner Court's Senior Sister! While it didn't necessarily mean his combat abilities matched hers, if someone else had done this, they'd be bragging to everyone by now.
"Hmph. Fine, I'm glad you told me the truth," Wang Dong'er said with a huff, her gaze softening as she looked at him. She was starting to feel more pressure. Originally, she only had to worry about classmates like Xiao Xiao, but now even upperclasswomen were potential rivals.
Qian Ran was so outstanding; it would be no surprise if some senior girls wanted a piece of him too. Some senior girls, after all, had a taste for younger men, and Qian Ran, as a junior, would definitely catch their eye.
Wang Dong'er knew that some senior girls particularly liked the innocent charm of the new boys who were still shy and unassuming. That sense of discovery was something they enjoyed.
Some of the naughtier seniors often quietly "led astray" the fresh-faced juniors.
Still, Wang Dong'er was happy and proud of Qian Ran. Barely into his time at Shrek Academy, and he was already garnering the attention of the academy's elites. No doubt, he would only grow stronger.
With Xian Lin'er as his mentor, Qian Ran now had solid support within the academy, which meant he wouldn't have to worry about troublemakers.
"Even though you've got Dean Xian Lin'er's protection, be careful. Open threats are easier to handle, but hidden dangers can be deadly. If someone bears a grudge and goes after you…" Wang Dong'er warned, concern evident in her tone.
Those he'd clashed with had powerful backers, and she couldn't help but worry.
"All right, all right, enough about that. This is our time together, let's not spoil it with other people." With such a lovely girl beside him and the perfect atmosphere, Qian Ran didn't want to ruin it by talking about such matters.
"Fine." Wang Dong'er's cheeks turned pink, and she looked up at Qian Ran, her gaze softening into a dreamy expression.
Qian Ran really was something, worthy of being her boyfriend.
She gently lifted his shirt, her small hands resting on his abs, and admired the defined muscles beneath. The firm lines captivated her.
