"Fucking system, are you trying to mess with my head? If Tang San knew I had Spirit Hall's inheritance, he'd probably already be arranging my death. Sure, I'm committed to taking Tang San down, but right now I still need to lie low and develop." As much as Qian Ran disliked Tang San, he couldn't act too cocky before he had built up his strength.
Tang San was already a lofty God King now, and, crucially, he was constantly keeping an eye on the Douluo Continent.
With the Six-Winged Angel as his Martial Soul, wouldn't that put him straight onto Tang San's kill list?
How was he supposed to pick up girls then? What was the point of transmigrating if he couldn't pick up girls? Had he transmigrated just to watch other people live happy lives while he couldn't get a girl himself?
Fantastic.
He had finally managed to transmigrate into a fantasy world where even marrying a hundred wives wouldn't land him in jail, only to face elimination by the world's strongest powerhouse right from the start?
Surely this wasn't supposed to be a jackpot opening?
He hadn't even started flirting with girls yet!
If he died right after transmigrating, wouldn't he become a disgrace to transmigrators? Even if he had to die, he should at least get to pick up eight or ten girls first.
"Host, there is no need to worry. Ever since you transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, the system has sealed it off. Even Tang San cannot observe your arrival. Though Tang San is the Asura God, he cannot descend to the lower realm at will."
Tang San was the Asura God, but as long as he dared descend to the lower realm, the Destruction God King and the others would have grounds to act against him. At present, Tang San wasn't invincible in the Divine Realm either.
"That puts my mind at ease." Qian Ran smiled. The system really did care about him after all. Given less than eight or ten years, he could raid Tang San's home while his guard was down. First he would steal Tang Wutong, then Xiao Wu... until Tang San was left utterly alone.
Xiao Wu (Zhu Zhuqing) (Rongrong), you wouldn't want Brother San (Mu Bai) (Oscar) to find out about this, would you?
Qian Ran couldn't help picturing that scene in his head.
But he would have to become a god before he could even see whether that day was possible.
Just as Qian Ran was immersed in the joy of his increased strength, Bei Bei looked at him in surprise.
He sensed the presence coming from Qian Ran and was deeply surprised!
Soul Power fluctuations of this level...
To think he would encounter a genius out here! This definitely already met Shrek Academy's admission standards.
"Bei Bei, what's wrong?" Seeing Bei Bei staring at Qian Ran, Tang Ya couldn't help asking.
"Xiao Ya, have you noticed? He seems to be a Soul Master. He's probably heading to the Star Dou Great Forest. How strange. Does he actually dare go there alone?"
"That's not the point. The point is, this guy would definitely be considered a genius even at Shrek Academy!" Bei Bei told Tang Ya quietly.
Encountering a genius in this remote wilderness was far too rare.
Besides, if he could get Qian Ran to join the Tang Sect, Xiao Ya would certainly be very grateful to him, and their relationship would grow deeper. Then, if he made certain requests, Xiao Ya wouldn't refuse.
He had pursued Tang Ya for so long, yet he still hadn't done anything with her. Although he would certainly never make Xiao Ya do anything she didn't want to, her continued refusal to get naughty with him made him miserable. Especially at night-as a man, he always had certain urges to get naughty. No matter how refined Bei Bei was, he still felt very strong impulses when faced with Tang Ya.
"What? Then should we recruit them into our Tang Sect?" Tang Ya's eyes lit up at Bei Bei's words.
Tang Ya was a descendant of the Tang Sect and its only current inheritor, while the Tang Sect now had only one disciple: Bei Bei.
"Of course. Geniuses like this are exactly what the Tang Sect needs most." Bei Bei smiled. Seeing the smile on Tang Ya's face, his heart grew very peaceful. As long as he could keep Tang Ya this happy, he would pay any price.
"Little brother, are you heading to the Star Dou Great Forest? Are you alone?" Tang Ya struck up a conversation with Qian Ran.
"I'm enough on my own." Qian Ran smiled.
"Little brother, do you belong to a sect yet? Would you like to join our Tang Sect? If you join us, we can help you hunt for a Soul Ring." Tang Ya leaned in front of Qian Ran, coaxing him.
"Our Tang Sect is the very Tang Sect that defeated Spirit Hall in that great war ten thousand years ago, turned the raging tide, and saved the continent. We're really impressive, you know." Tang Ya leaned closer. Afraid Qian Ran didn't know about the Tang Sect, she hurried to explain, trying to make it sound a little more powerful.
Actually, if Qian Ran wanted to win Tang Ya over, joining the Tang Sect would let him be the pavilion closest to the water, catching the moon first. But the moment he heard the words "Tang Sect," he lost every bit of interest. Taking down the Tang Sect was more like it; joining it was out of the question.
"I'm planning to establish my own sect in the future."
"You want to establish your own sect?" Tang Ya and Bei Bei were both amused.
"Qian Ran, do you know how much effort it takes to establish a sect?" Tang Ya continued trying to persuade him, taking his words as a joke.
"Spirit Hall."
The moment those words left his mouth, Tang Ya and Bei Bei were both stunned.
Others might not be familiar with that behemoth from ten thousand years ago, but Tang Ya and Bei Bei knew it all too well. One was the current leader of the Tang Sect, and the other was the great-grandson of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion Master.
Ten thousand years ago, Spirit Hall had nearly unified the continent. Only by joining forces with the two great empires and the three great sects had the Tang Sect's ancestor, Tang San, finally defeated it.
Shrek Academy's current standing also benefited from that great war ten thousand years ago. Having nurtured seven gods, Shrek Academy had thus been able to replace Spirit Hall as the continent's new sacred ground!
"Little brother Qian Ran, you're not being good at all. If you're willing to join our Tang Sect, this big sister is willing to pay a little price." Tang Ya blinked her beautiful eyes and brought her stunning face close to Qian Ran's, speaking in a deeply seductive tone. Tang Ya herself had no idea how alluring she was at that moment.
Behind her, Bei Bei stared, transfixed, unable to help feeling a little jealous. Tang Ya had never spoken to him in such a sugary-sweet tone.
And pay a little price? What price did Tang Ya want to pay?
He regretted it. He shouldn't have alerted Xiao Ya. If this guy joined the Tang Sect, it would no longer be just him and Xiao Ya.
"I'm heading to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain my Soul Ring first. See you. As for whether I'll join the Tang Sect-as for whether I'll join the Tang Sect, let's talk about it after I get to Shrek Academy." Qian Ran didn't reject Tang Ya outright.
Qian Ran was ready to leave. With the check-in finished, he wanted to learn about those system rewards. As an ordinary person from Earth who had suddenly experienced the power of a fantasy world, Qian Ran found the satisfaction and anticipation almost impossible to pull himself away from.
Qian Ran did want to chat with Tang Ya a little longer, but with Bei Bei here as a third wheel, he had no opportunity at all. So he would maintain an air of mystery for now, then strike straight to the heart of the matter when the time came.
"Honestly." Tang Ya pouted, watching Qian Ran run off with some helplessness. If their Tang Sect wanted to rise again, it needed geniuses to join.
Bei Bei, meanwhile, breathed a sigh of relief. When Tang Ya had offered to pay a little price to get Qian Ran to join, even Bei Bei's own imagination had begun running wild. Although he considered himself a good man, he couldn't remain calm in front of Xiao Ya. If he had been Qian Ran, he probably would have already agreed to Xiao Ya's offer and then been unable to resist making certain requests.
