Was That All Eternal Defense Had? Xu Sanshi Severely Wounded

If Bei Bei had chosen to attack Tang Ya to win her back, then Xu Sanshi was simply hateful.

Seeing Tang Ya grow stronger had actually made Xu Sanshi jealous. He even wanted to discover the secret behind her improvement so he could use it to increase his own strength.

But Xu Sanshi was a spoiled scion to begin with, and he had hardly been a decent person in the original story.

Qian Ran had just seen Xu Sanshi secretly take the Evil Soul Crystal. But if Xu Sanshi wanted to absorb it directly, he would not stop him. Without Qian Ran's power protecting his mind, Xu Sanshi would only become a true Evil Soul Master!

If Xu Sanshi became an Evil Soul Master, Qian Ran could find an opportunity to kill him openly and justifiably.

He already wanted to kill Xu Sanshi.

"Qian Ran, you're here?"

Bei Bei's expression turned ugly when he saw Qian Ran arrive.

He had wanted to check whether Tang Ya was hurt, but it seemed that was no longer his place.

He suddenly realized that things between him and Tang Ya seemed to have reached a point where they were difficult to salvage.

What had I even done!

Why had I joined Xu Sanshi in attacking Xiao Ya?

Now, in Xiao Ya's eyes, Qian Ran was the hero, while he was the villain.

Although Xiao Ya had been taken from him before, they had at least still been friends, and things had not become completely irreparable. But now, all he could sense in Tang Ya's attitude toward him was annoyance.

He had already made Tang Ya dislike him.

"Xiao Ya, are you all right?" Jiang Nannan hurried over to check Tang Ya's injuries. She, too, felt utter disgust toward Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei now. She had nearly intervened just now; fortunately, Qian Ran had arrived in time.

Jiang Nannan had also seen Xu Sanshi secretly take that evil crystal, deepening the disgust she already felt toward him. Many of her friends had always envied her when they saw Xu Sanshi persistently pursuing her, even thinking she was surrounded by blessings without appreciating them. But only she understood what kind of person Xu Sanshi was.

"Sorry for the trouble, but please look after her for me."

Qian Ran entrusted Tang Ya to Jiang Nannan's care, while he intended to seek justice for Tang Ya.

"Are you going to..." Jiang Nannan froze for a moment, her beautiful eyes turning toward Qian Ran.

"My woman was bullied. Surely I can't just do nothing," Qian Ran said coldly.

"You, brat?"

"You don't really think beating Bei Bei through luck means you can actually defeat us, do you?"

Xu Sanshi was disdainful.

He had not bothered learning much about Bei Bei's defeat.

In his eyes, the two had merely agreed on some restrictive rules for a wager, such as counting it as Qian Ran's victory if he lasted three moves against Bei Bei.

As for Qian Ran being stronger than Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi did not believe it at all.

There had never been such a precedent at Shrek Academy. A freshman was still a newcomer, after all. How could he compare to geniuses who had cultivated for four or five years?

"Me alone? That's enough!"

Qian Ran stamped heavily on the hard floor, shattering all the flooring within three meters of him. His entire body instantly shot forward like a hunting leopard, his speed pushed to the limit.

At that moment, Qian Ran instantly released his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul!

Qian Ran did not intend to use the Light Angel's power. Only that pure power of death could let him vent his emotions.

Pure death energy gathered around Qian Ran's fist. The force of this punch was something almost no one could withstand!

Extreme speed, extreme strength-no one present had anticipated this sudden burst of power.

"He seems to have grown stronger again. His Martial Soul has changed since last time."

Tang Ya, who had been watching Qian Ran closely all along, was the first to notice the difference in him.

Qian Ran's presence now was just like the power he had shown her after taking her to a hotel for the first time. On one side was sacred light; on the other were pure death power and evil power.

Qian Ran's Martial Soul was now different from the Six-Winged Angel of ten thousand years ago.

"So strong."

Xu Sanshi, who had been so disdainful of Qian Ran, sucked in a sharp breath. His face turned deathly pale.

That speed alone was already beyond what so-called Outer Court geniuses like them could match!

As for strength, Xu Sanshi had no doubt that the power contained in Qian Ran's fist could easily inflict severe injuries on his body.

The second and third Soul Rings on Xu Sanshi's body lit up almost simultaneously.

Second Soul Skill, Mysterious Underworld Shield Formation!

Third Soul Skill, Xuanming Power!

A large quantity of water elements gathered around Xu Sanshi, and the faint silhouette of the Black Tortoise divine beast appeared beside him. After releasing Xuanming Power, Xu Sanshi would enter an awakened state, greatly increasing the might of every Soul Skill he used.

His second Soul Skill, Mysterious Underworld Shield Formation, could even split his Martial Soul into several shields to defend him from multiple directions.

With his first and second Soul Skills deployed simultaneously, Xu Sanshi's defensive strength in this state had already reached the absolute limit of what he could achieve.

Xu Sanshi ranked alongside Bei Bei as one of the Outer Court Twin Stars and held the title "Eternal Defense." Naturally, his reputation was not undeserved.

No one in the Outer Court had ever penetrated his defenses head-on.

Even when Bei Bei fought him, Bei Bei could do nothing about Xu Sanshi's tortoise shell.

"Eternal Defense?"

"Then let me see just how capable this Eternal Defense of yours is."

Qian Ran coldly watched the defenses Xu Sanshi rapidly erected.

For others, this was indeed an insurmountable defense. Even Tang Ya would likely have been willing but powerless against Xu Sanshi's Mysterious Underworld Shield Formation. Before Xu Sanshi exhausted his Soul Power, ordinary people would find it extremely difficult to break through from the outside.

But for Qian Ran, this was no problem at all.

One overwhelming force could shatter ten thousand arts. With sufficient strength, any level of defense could be pierced.

"Break!"

The power of death and evil in Qian Ran's hand stood at a height no Evil Soul Master could reach.

Bam!

One punch left the Xuanming Shield teetering on the verge of collapse.

Crack!

A fissure appeared across the Xuanming Shield, and then, in that very instant, the entire shield split into several pieces.

Xu Sanshi violently spat out a mouthful of blood, his spirits rapidly flagging. Even his Martial Soul suffered severe damage at that moment!

"How could this happen!"

Xu Sanshi's eyes filled with terror. He had never imagined Qian Ran could be this strong!

Wasn't Qian Ran a freshman? Why could Qian Ran give him the same oppressive feeling as an Inner Court powerhouse?

Panicking, Xu Sanshi hurriedly summoned the Black Tortoise Shields protecting the other parts of his body to guard his front.

"Is that all Eternal Defense has?"

Qian Ran smashed down with another vicious punch. Xu Sanshi spat out another mouthful of blood, his presence weakening further. Another Black Tortoise Shield shattered.

Xu Sanshi was frightened now. If Qian Ran's punch struck his body when he had no Black Tortoise Shield protecting him...

He truly did not dare imagine that sight. He would certainly end up in a terrible state!
