"Hiss." Early in the morning, Ning Rongrong awoke and frowned as she shook the still-sleeping Xu Ran awake.
"Stinky Xu Ran, look at the trouble you've caused." Ning Rongrong pouted and, observing her somewhat bruised body, she lightly punched Xu Ran a couple of times with annoyance.
Stinky Xu Ran, having no idea how to treat a lady gently, had left her in such a state. How was she supposed to face others now?
"My fault, you'll feel better after some rest," Xu Ran said, hugging Ning Rongrong tightly and falling asleep in his arms.
This time he had been careful, but Ning Rongrong's physique was just too delicate. He hadn't even dared to squeeze, yet she ended up like this. Was it his fault?
And at least, Ning Rongrong could still move slowly for the first time.
After the attribute grafting and memory sharing with Wang Qiu'er, he had learned a lot.
Even when he was bullying Ning Rongrong, he was nurturing her body, so it didn't have too much of an impact on her.
"Okay then, I won't blame you," Ning Rongrong blinked her beautiful big eyes, curling up inside Xu Ran's embrace like a little kitten, squinting and basking in the warmth from Xu Ran's body behind her.
Lying in Xu Ran's arms, she felt warm and comfortable.
If only Xu Ran wouldn't be naughty, it would be even better.
But with Xu Ran holding her like this, sometimes just as she was about to fall asleep, Xu Ran would start being naughty again...
Xu Ran and Ning Rongrong slept until the afternoon before slowly getting up.
Although Ning Rongrong and the others were also students of the senior class at Shrek Academy, their schedules were much more flexible than those from the original Blue Tyrant Academy. Thanks to their unique training methods, they were allowed to attend or miss classes at any time.
"Ding, congratulations to the 'Host' for adding another member to the 'Harem.' Since Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul has now become the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit, her aptitude has greatly improved, thus you have gained three thousand Skill Points this time."
"'Host' information list as follows:"
['Host']: Xu Ran
[Martial Soul]: "Godslayer Sword"
[Skill Points]: 11400 points
[Item]: Myriad Beasts Armor (Demi-God Artifact)
['Cultivation Level']: Level 50
[Bloodline]: Kirin Auspicious Beast Bloodline (Three Thousand Five Hundred Years)
['Harem']: Zhu Zhuqing, Xiaowu, Zi Ji, Ning Rongrong
[Mission]: Reveal Yu Xiaogang's true nature in front of Liu Erlong. Mission Reward: Sword Flight Technique, fifth soul ring: Fifteen Thousand Year Evil God Sword. Two thousand Skill Points; extract Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul, turning him into an ordinary person. Mission Reward: Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, three thousand Skill Points.
"Finally, ten thousand Skill Points," Xu Ran was somewhat excited. The Skill Points had been accumulating quickly, but for Xu Ran, it was still not enough. Human desires are endless.
With ten thousand Skill Points, he could now do the top-tier ten consecutive draws. The ten consecutive draws came with a guaranteed reward!
Xu Ran considered himself unlucky, but the guaranteed reward was sufficient, and it was definitely a good deal.
"System, I want to go for the Diamond Level ten consecutive draws," Xu Ran thought silently.
"Alright," the System's Miss nodded gently.
"Ding, congratulations to the 'Host' for obtaining the Diamond-level reward: Unbreakable, fire and water-resistant underpants."
"Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining the ancient sword technique 'Sword Drawing Technique' manual."
"Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining the 'Jade Maiden Swordsmanship' manual."
"Ding, congratulations to the Host for all Soul Rings being upgraded to hundred-thousand-year level."
"..."
"Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Enhanced Plant Cultivation Solution Essence."
System notifications rang out one after another, and Xu Ran's face turned red with excitement.
Since coming to the Soul Land, he had never been this lucky with the lottery.
All Soul Rings upgraded to the hundred-thousand-year level, the Enhanced Plant Cultivation Solution that Ah Yin needed, and the Sword Drawing Technique... But the Jade Maiden Swordsmanship, it seemed to be a sword technique designed for a male and female pair, what use was it? He didn't have a sister with a Sword Martial Spirit.
However, Qian Renxue could probably count as half, since in the later stages she would rely on the Angelic God Sword... then wouldn't he be able to coax Qian Renxue into... practicing the Jade Maiden Swordsmanship with him, deeply bonding, surely their feelings would only grow stronger with practice.
"Ding, it has been detected that the Host currently has four Soul Rings. Now, all four Soul Rings are unconditionally upgraded to the hundred-thousand-year level. In the future, any Soul Rings obtained by the Host will be directly upgraded to the hundred-thousand-year level," the system lady explained.
"Okay," Xu Ran nodded, utterly astonished, the reward could actually continue indefinitely. Nine hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings, if displayed, would be absolutely invincible!
And his strength would receive an unimaginably terrifying enhancement, with all hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings, he could definitely take on a Titled Douluo head-on. Although his current "Cultivation Level" wasn't high, the quality of his other aspects was too strong.
Xu Ran unleashed his Martial Soul, and four scarlet hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings rose around him. It was as if endless fearsome power was gestating within the Soul Rings. The aura emanating from Xu Ran also became extremely terrifying, making him look no different from those peerless powerhouses at the top of the world.
"Xu Ran, you..." Ning Rongrong stared at Xu Ran dumbfounded, her knee bent, half a stocking dangling in the air.
At that moment, her beautiful eyes were wide open, staring dumbly at Xu Ran.
Xu Ran's strength and Soul Rings had no reason to become so incredibly powerful and fearsome. Over the days she had spent with Xu Ran, she had become accustomed to these changes in him.
But looking at the four hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings beneath Xu Ran, she still couldn't stay calm.
Those were hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings!
Ten-thousand-year Soul Rings were still manageable, but hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings were too rare.
Even Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa from their Seven Treasures Glaze Sect didn't have hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings.
In the past, Pope Qianxun Ji from the Spirit Hall went after Tang Hao and Ah Yin to get a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and as a result, perished. This showed just how rare and precious hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings were.
But now, underneath Xu Ran, there were four hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings.
Such precious Soul Rings seemed like they were worth nothing in front of Xu Ran.
"Your husband is awesome, right?" Xu Ran smiled, feeling the tremendous power inside his body, and couldn't help but feel a bit elated. Poor Tang San, still thinking of opposing him, still thinking of taking Xiaowu back from him. Unfortunately, he had yet to realize the gap between them, although it wasn't apparent in terms of "Cultivation Level", the gap in combat strength was absolute. Tang San dreaming of contending with him was merely a fool's dream.
"Hmph, don't flatter yourself," Ning Rongrong said with proud coquettishness, yet her big eyes still sparkled with admiration. So this was Xu Ran? He's so impressive, the strongest and most unique in the world.
Of course, she wouldn't say these things in front of Xu Ran, so as not to inflate his ego.
"Hurry up and get dressed so we can go out. The weather's nice. Let's call Zhu Qing and Xiaowu and go shopping." Xu Ran said, walking over to Ning Rongrong and scooping her up in his arms.
"Stinky Xu Ran, what are you doing? I can dress myself," Ning Rongrong flushed red, looking at the shameless rogue in front of her.
"You're too slow," Xu Ran laughed, helping Ning Rongrong pull up her smooth stockings, taking the opportunity to cop a fair amount of advantage, causing her to blush uncontrollably. Seeing that Ning Rongrong couldn't stand it anymore, her face flushed beyond words, Xu Ran finally stopped his shameless actions.
