Bab 516: 514
The advanced Soul Master academy competition was in full swing all morning. Today was just the preliminary round, and the powerful teams hadn't come across each other yet. For example, powerhouses like Tianshui College and Shrek Academy, had not yet encountered each other.
However, as soon as the teams from Shrek Academy and Tianshui College took the field, they shocked the entire audience, with countless spectators cheering for these exceptionally beautiful young girls. Especially the likes of Xiaowu, being at the Soul King level, a rarity in the past.
Even if there were any, they were exclusively from the Martial Soul Hall.
In the past, only the Martial Soul Hall had the ability to train such young talents to reach the "Cultivation Level" of a Soul King.
And now, a number of young Soul Kings had suddenly appeared, each as beautiful as a goddess, the impact they had was unimaginable.
"This is truly terrifying. Without eliminating Xu Ran, he will sooner or later become a calamity for our Martial Soul Hall. Without Xu Ran, these young and beautiful girls could also be under my control," Salas was no fool, he knew these young prodigies must be linked to Xu Ran.
Xu Ran's strength wasn't the only formidable aspect, his talent-nurturing methods were also first-rate, surpassing even the Martial Soul Hall's.
"This time, our Martial Soul Academy may have met its match. Even the Holy Lady would have trouble dealing with these geniuses,"
Salas shook his head. In the Martial Soul Hall, only the Holy Lady and a few other top-notch talents had reached the Soul King level, and it would be hard to guarantee a victory against the prodigious girls from Tianshui College and Shrek Academy.
But that wasn't what worried him the most. If all of these young prodigious girls were to grow up and reach the level of a Titled Douluo, what a terrifying force would that be?
The power of a dozen Titled Douluos was something that even the Martial Soul Hall could not ignore, and the entire Continent's landscape would change accordingly.
It wasn't just Salas, Ning Fengzhi and Emperor Xue Ye were also shocked. So many talented young girls were most likely nurtured by Xu Ran, and their growth would represent nearly ten Titled Douluos!
That was almost half the number of Titled Douluos in Martial Soul Hall.
And in addition to other forces, it was clear that Martial Soul Hall's dream of dominating the Continent was nothing more than folly.
"Who would have thought that the energy surrounding Xu Ran is so frightening. The Young Princess of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, the second daughter of the Zhu Clan, the granddaughter of Dugu Bo, and from the Ye Family, Tianshui College... what a terrifying power group. And all these powers will ensure Xu Ran is well-protected," Emperor Xue Ye couldn't help but be greatly alarmed. Before, he hadn't taken it seriously, but now it seemed rather frightening.
The power by Xu Ran's side might not be inferior to the Xingluo Empire.
"Thankfully, Xu Ran and the Great Crown Prince of the Dai family are close friends. Marrying Xue Ke over not only wins over the Xingluo Empire but also sways Xu Ran. It's indeed killing two birds with one stone," Emperor Xue Ye stroked his beard, inwardly praising his own cleverness.
However, he still felt a sense of regret, wishing he had a daughter to marry Xu Ran. If Xu Ran became the Prince Consort of the Tiandou Empire, then he could rest easy.
At the moment, Xu Ran was unaware of Emperor Xue Ye's thoughts; if he knew, he wouldn't be able to resist saying: Your "son," I want all your daughters.
Bi Bidong was also quite surprised as she watched those adoring eyes below. She could naturally tell that the relationship between those girls and Xu Ran was extraordinary. Xu Ran seemed to have a special relationship with every beautiful girl, truly the beast of all beasts!
But even with their talents, none of those prodigious girls were worthy of Bi Bidong's attention. She was the Spirit Hall Pope, a wielder of Twin Martial Souls, and one of the pinnacle figures of the Continent. There was still a long way to go between a genius and a true power.
And what was most infuriating wasn't Xu Ran's philandering ways, but that he dared to reach into her pond!
Her Xue'er, was she someone that Xu Ran could touch?
Damn it!
Beast!
The competition was near its end, and Xu Ran found an excuse to take Qian Renxue and directly slip away.
Otherwise, if they left too late and were blocked by Xiaowu and Shui Bing'er, it would definitely be another round of criticism against him.
"Pfft, Xu Ran, what are you afraid of? The competition isn't over yet, why are you running away now?" Qian Renxue asked with a playful smile. It seemed that she, the Young Master of the Spirit Hall, was the one who knew Xu Ran best.
After all, Qian Renxue's spies in the Tiandou Empire were everywhere, and her little hands had a firm grip on Xu Ran.
"I think you're asking for another beating, daring to tease your husband like that, watch out for a spanked bottom!" Xu Ran said with irritation.
"What do you want to do? Bully me again?"
Qian Renxue jumped to one side, eyeing Xu Ran warily, with her hands protectively over her backside, clearly somewhat afraid of him.
"Even if I wanted to, I'm all out of strength," Xu Ran rolled his eyes in response.
"Oh. How are your injuries?" Qian Renxue's heart softened when she saw Xu Ran in a wheelchair, looking severely injured, and she felt very guilty. If it hadn't been for her, Xu Ran would have already killed the Rakshasa God, and he wouldn't have been injured so badly.
Moreover, after Xu Ran was injured, she did not immediately take care of him.
"Now you remember I'm injured? You cold-hearted woman. I've been lying in bed for three days, bleeding continuously, nearly on the verge of death, and not able to see you for one last time. But you didn't even come to take one look at me, I was almost heartbroken to death," Xu Ran lamented.
"I, I was afraid to see you, wasn't I? You ended up like that because of me, so…" Qian Renxue's face turned red, and Xu Ran's words made her feel even more guilty.
Xu Ran was seriously injured, and she did not appear beside him right away, instead choosing to avoid him.
Xu Ran had sustained severe injuries, and though he looked much better now, she had no idea what kind of torment he had been through these days.
Perhaps Xu Ran's relaxed appearance was all a facade, meant to spare her from worry and sadness.
How could an injury inflicted by a divine being be easily healed?
"Sigh."
Bi Bidong saw Qian Renxue being utterly swayed by Xu Ran, and she was both anxious and annoyed. Seeing how naive Qian Renxue was, she could only let out a sigh.
No wonder Xue'er got chased down by this lousy Xu Ran. With Xue'er being so innocent, how could she be a match for Xu Ran?
The sweet nothings Xu Ran had probably repeated to countless other girls were enough to throw Qian Renxue into disarray when used on her, and she was…
These days, Xu Ran had been sleeping while holding her, not showing the slightest discomfort, pretty much in heaven, nowhere near being on his deathbed. Xu Ran was simply exaggerating his injuries to make Xue'er distressed and then tricking her into his schemes.
That really was a bit despicable!
No, not a bit, but very despicable!
As the saying goes, the onlooker sees clearer than the player.
Bi Bidong had entirely forgotten that Yu Xiaogang had used the same tactics to bamboozle her back in the day.
