Bab 655: Chapter 653 Doubts of Golden Crocodile Douluo, Does Xu Ran Possess a Divine Legacy?_1
Xu Ran's rise to power was now unstoppable, as no one could contain his growth anymore.
Even now, at such a young age, Xu Ran's strength already reached such a formidable level, and he was sure to be even more terrifying in the future.
Most importantly, Qian Dao Liu now supported Xu Ran and had agreed to betroth their most cherished granddaughter, Qian Renxue, to him. From then on, who across the Continent would dare oppose Xu Ran?
The Supreme Youth.
These four words unavoidably rose in everyone's hearts.
There was a very high chance that Qian Renxue would become the Spirit Hall Pope. No, with Xu Ran's support, it would be a piece of cake for Qian Renxue to take the position of Pope if she wished.
On the surface, the Martial Soul Hall belonged to the Qian Family, but once a woman married a man, especially a young hero like Xu Ran, the Martial Soul Hall was no different from Xu Ran's own influence.
With a single word from Xu Ran, wouldn't Qian Renxue just comply?
A woman, once conquered by a man, would comply with anything he wanted.
In front of Xu Ran, even a noble and cold beauty like Qian Renxue seemed to be nothing more than a demure woman.
As everyone thought this, they immediately elevated Xu Ran's importance by several levels. No matter what happened in the future, Xu Ran's status in the Martial Soul Hall could not be low.
Having made his point, Qian Dao Liu led Xu Ran and Qian Renxue towards the inner sanctum's Council Chamber. Golden Crocodile Douluo followed them, his heart full of questions.
In the Council Hall, Qian Dao Liu sat in the central high seat, with Golden Crocodile Douluo and Xu Ran taking their places on the left and right seats, respectively.
Qian Renxue did not take a seat, but stood gently behind Xu Ran, her jade hands resting on his shoulders, tenderly massaging them. Gone was her previous cold arrogance—with her obedient and gentle appearance, who could tell she was the same person?
Watching this scene, Qian Dao Liu couldn't help but twitch his lips and feel a touch of bitterness, thinking that a daughter is hard to keep close as she grows up.
His granddaughter, of such noble status, was now adeptly massaging Xu Ran's shoulders. She probably had not been doing it infrequently either.
His granddaughter, with skin soft and delicate, had always been the one who was served by others since childhood, but now she seemed to have learned to serve. They were still around, yet Xue'er was so attentive and dedicated to Xu Ran—if he were absent, wouldn't her attentiveness only increase?
"Grandfather, what are you looking at?" A blushing Qian Renxue, feeling scrutinized by Qian Dao Liu, retorted softly. Her heart was proud that Xu Ran had gained many Elders' recognition, and so she tenderly massaged his shoulders.
On any other day, she wouldn't have been so gentle.
"Naturally, I'm looking at my precious granddaughter. A daughter is hard to keep as she grows up. I'm of such an age, yet no one offers to give me a shoulder massage." Qian Dao Liu shook his head.
"Grandpa... If you want, Xue'er will come to massage you often in the future." Qian Renxue's face was flushed with shyness, and her hands massaging Xu Ran's shoulders gradually eased up.
"Forget it." Qian Dao Liu shook his head. He was just a little jealous to see his granddaughter being so obedient in front of Xu Ran; it wasn't that he really desired a massage, as his body was still strong and healthy.
"Xu Ran, what's the deal with your Martial Soul, and how come it has such formidable combat strength?" Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't afford the leisure to enjoy the young couple's affections and blurted out the doubts in his heart.
His Martial Soul, the Golden Crocodile King, was a powerful beast Martial Soul. It wouldn't have been possible for him to reach level 98 without it being strong.
Moreover, the Golden Crocodile King had an almost indestructible outer armor that regular strength couldn't destroy.
But under Xu Ran's sword, his outer armor was as fragile as paper. This was beyond belief for him. His Martial Soul was already considered supreme; how terrifying must Xu Ran's Martial Soul be?
"My Martial Soul is not like other ordinary Martial Souls. In terms of power, it is much stronger than the Hao Tian Hammer, the number one weapon Martial Soul in this world. Moreover, my Soul Rings are different from those of ordinary Martial Souls. My Soul Rings possess the seven great attributes: Slaughter, Destruction, Death, Life, and so on. With attributes that counteract and promote each other, combined, they have infinite power," Xu Ran explained after a moment's thought.
"Soul Rings can also come with additional attributes?" Golden Crocodile Douluo exclaimed in surprise.
"My Martial Soul is very special; other Martial Souls probably can't do the same," said Xu Ran with a slight smile. He was not from Soul Land, so naturally, he couldn't view things solely from the perspective of Soul Land.
However, he would not divulge the secret of his origin from another plane to anyone else.
"Then what about your Soul Rings? It doesn't seem that you have Twin Martial Souls, so how can you have a full set of hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings? Could it be that you are a God's Inheritor?" Golden Crocodile Douluo asked again with renewed surprise and doubt.
Twin Martial Souls allow one to cultivate with one Martial Soul first and, once their strength is sufficient, attach the Soul Rings to the other Martial Soul. Only then is it possible to have a first Soul Ring that is a hundred-thousand-year one.
And Xu Ran apparently did not have Twin Martial Souls.
So the only other explanation was that he was a God's Inheritor.
With that status, it was understandable for Xu Ran to have a full set of hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings.
If Qian Renxue could fully inherit the Angel God's legacy, her Soul Rings would also all evolve into hundred-thousand-year ones. This was something recorded in the archives of the Martial Soul Hall, something they were all aware of.
At that moment, Qian Dao Liu and Qian Renxue were also looking at Xu Ran with puzzlement.
Qian Renxue had her suspicions before, but after falling in love with Xu Ran, she cast all those concerns aside.
Her love for Xu Ran was not because she cared about his identity.
"Somewhat like that, yes. It's also correct to say so," Xu Ran found it hard to provide any other answer for this matter and simply went along with it. The System was stronger than a god, and with the System, becoming a god was not difficult for him.
"Xu Ran, oh my gosh, which godhood are you inheriting?" Qian Renxue embraced Xu Ran's neck, straddled his thigh directly without any regard for her lady-like demeanor, and sat down on his lap.
She was incredibly excited; if Xu Ran were to obtain a divine legacy, then it was very likely to be at the God King level.
"It's a secret," Xu Ran teased Qian Renxue's nose, as he himself did not yet know which godhood he would inherit in the future. Besides, it would not be a god from Soul Land but perhaps a higher and more powerful one given by the System, or one that he would create himself.
With the help of the System, his strength was continuously growing; godhood was perhaps just a title for him.
"All right. I was worried before... but it seems I was overthinking it," Qian Renxue said.
"Our Spirit Hall is about to witness the rise of two gods," said Qian Dao Liu and Golden Crocodile Douluo, their excitement evident in their expressions. For Qian Dao Liu, this was even more significant. With Xu Ran becoming a god and his wives remaining on the Continent, Xu Ran and Qian Renxue would become a celestial couple in the heavens.
With that, Xu Ran's shortcomings as a notorious playboy would be as good as non-existent.
Qian Dao Liu and the others did not press Xu Ran further about his secrets. Since Xu Ran was unwilling to share them, pressing the matter was futile. They only needed to know about Xu Ran's character; the stronger he was, the better for the Martial Soul Hall, and the more capable he would be of helping Qian Renxue ascend to godhood.
Once both of them became gods, the whole world would be shaken by it.
