Xu Sanshi was actually taking such a brutal, one-sided beating?
This was the guy whose Xuanming Turtle was the strongest defensive Martial Soul in the Outer Court. The Xuanming Turtle had a close connection to the divine beast Xuanwu.
Generally speaking, unless someone's strength far surpassed that of a Defense System Soul Master, defeating one would never be this easy. In many battles, people chose to wait until the Defense System Soul Master had nearly exhausted their Soul Power before looking for an opening to strike.
"I still underestimated him earlier. He's even more of a monster than I imagined." Jiang Nannan stared at Qian Ran with her beautiful eyes wide.
Even though she found Xu Sanshi utterly tiresome, she had to admit that his talent was among the best in the Outer Court. Even in the Inner Court, he would have been a top genius.
Yet the strength Qian Ran was displaying now already far surpassed both Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi!
Such fighting prowess was terrifying!
He had shattered Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Turtle shell shield with a single punch! What ferocious offensive power was that?
From now on, there would no longer be any talk of twin stars in the Outer Court. Qian Ran alone could suppress everyone in the Outer Court until none of them could lift their heads.
This new student really was incredible!
At that moment, Jiang Nannan finally understood why Tang Ya had fallen for Qian Ran. He really was outstanding; even Bei Bei and the others fell far short of him.
What made Jiang Nannan see Qian Ran in a different light was not merely his monstrous strength and talent, but his attitude toward Tang Ya. Upon seeing Tang Ya injured, Qian Ran had attacked Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei without any hesitation or restraint. Even Jiang Nannan envied that feeling of being protected.
When would she have someone by her side who could protect her, too?
Perhaps that would never happen in this lifetime.
"He's the best person in this world. No one can compare to him." Color slowly returned to Tang Ya's originally pale cheeks, and she looked utterly excited as she watched Qian Ran display his might. Her beautiful eyes shone as she watched his invincible figure.
This was her man!
She loved seeing Qian Ran shine so brightly. In her eyes, wherever he went, he could become the center of attention.
"Mm."
Jiang Nannan looked at Qian Ran with her beautiful eyes and nodded firmly.
By then, she was even a little envious of Tang Ya. Tang Ya had already found such an outstanding partner, but what about her? Even if she kept avoiding it now, she would ultimately never escape Xu Sanshi's grasp.
Neither Xu Sanshi nor the family behind him was something she could escape.
Besides, her mother was currently in the Xuanming Sect. On the surface, it was to treat her mother's illness, but she knew her mother was a hostage held by the Xuanming Sect. If she tried to run away, her mother would be in danger.
In this game of cat and mouse, she would ultimately be the loser.
While Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan were each occupied with their own thoughts, Xu Sanshi was nearly at his limit and hurriedly shouted for Bei Bei to help.
But Bei Bei was no match for Qian Ran at all. The instant he rushed up to Qian Ran, Qian Ran knocked him to the ground with a flying kick.
Only then did Bei Bei realize that the Qian Ran who had defeated him earlier had never used his full strength. Qian Ran's fighting prowess now was far, far greater than before.
"Pfft."
After kicking Bei Bei to the ground, Qian Ran raised his foot and stomped hard on his chest. Bei Bei immediately spat blood and fainted.
"One last hit!" Qian Ran raised his fist and smashed it into Xu Sanshi once again. The Xuanming Turtle's shell shield was finally shattered completely, and by this point, even Xu Sanshi's Martial Soul had suffered considerable damage.
"How dare a new student like you do this?"
"Do you know who Bei Bei and I are? If you leave now, I can let you off. Otherwise, your life at the academy won't be easy from now on."
"I'm the Young Sect Master of the Xuanming Sect. Can you afford to offend me?"
Xu Sanshi's expression was extremely ugly, and the ground was covered in the blood he had vomited.
Although the Xuanming Turtle's shell shield had blocked Qian Ran earlier, every punch Qian Ran smashed into it sent tremors through his internal organs, leaving them in agony.
In Xu Sanshi's eyes, Qian Ran was a monster-a monster through and through!
Was this really a new student?
With strength like this, he could enter the Inner Court already, couldn't he?
Damn it!
Why wasn't he the one who possessed such tremendous strength?
"Sure. I'll be waiting for you to come looking for trouble, then. Remember to stay away from Yaya from now on, or I'll beat you every time I see you." Qian Ran raised his head and delivered a vicious kick to Xu Sanshi's head. Xu Sanshi collapsed as well.
What did the Xuanming Sect amount to? It wasn't some major sect.
Looking at Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi's fallen bodies, Jiang Nannan could not help swallowing.
Qian Ran had really looked like a demon god just now. The presence emanating from him had been far more sinister than Tang Ya's earlier.
Having dealt with the two of them, Qian Ran withdrew his Martial Soul and walked toward Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan.
Jiang Nannan-in the original Peerless Tang Sect, she was the Outer Court's greatest beauty.
She truly deserved that title.
Even Tang Ya's former beauty and figure could not compare to Jiang Nannan's. But now, as Tang Ya's strength increased, her appearance had also become even more stunning. She no longer fell short of Jiang Nannan and even surpassed her in some respects.
Jiang Nannan had long golden hair that fell in large waves, and she possessed an elegant, refined bearing. Even dressed in ordinary Shrek Academy clothing, the girl's breathtaking face and well-developed figure were not diminished in the slightest. Jiang Nannan had a slender waist and long legs. Her Martial Soul was the Soft Bone Rabbit, and her entire body had inherited its characteristics, looking exceedingly supple.
Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan, two peerless beauties, leaned against each other, each enhancing the other's beauty until their loveliness seemed beyond compare.
As Qian Ran looked at the two of them, he too was momentarily dazed.
"Ding! Goddess Jiang Nannan detected. Would you like to check in?"
The system's voice sounded in his mind. Jiang Nannan was currently the greatest beauty in the Outer Court, so naturally, she fully met the system's check-in requirements.
"Obviously." Qian Ran curled his lips.
"Congratulations to the host for checking in with Goddess Jiang Nannan and obtaining the 'Body Refining Technique.' The 'Body Refining Technique' records various methods suitable for men and women to temper their bodies. The host may select a suitable cultivation method. Note: if a man and woman cultivate together, the effects will double."
Good grief. That name really left him at a loss for words.
Couldn't it have a better-sounding name? Still, a cultivation method provided by the system shouldn't be weak.
Men and women cultivating together? That sounded pretty good.
However, Qian Ran did not feel particularly interested in body refinement at the moment. If the system could get him a cultivation method for tempering Spiritual Power and using it to attack, he would be very interested.
Spiritual Power attacks could leave people unable to guard against them. Moreover, Spiritual Power happened to be Qian Ran's greatest strength right now.
Spiritual attacks could serve as a trump card, something he could bring out when he encountered danger.
Qian Ran had always felt that spiritual attack Soul Skills were damn near useless. Using Soul Skills was always restricted by one's Soul Power Level. Even if someone possessed Rank 99 Spiritual Power, if their Soul Power was only Rank 20, the spiritual Soul Skills they unleashed could, at the absolute most, defeat a Soul Elder. There was no helping it; the strength of Soul Skills was limited by the strength of one's Soul Power.
If he separately obtained a method that allowed him to attack using Spiritual Power, that would be different. Titled Douluo-level Spiritual Power would be able to unleash attacks with Titled Douluo-level strength. That way, Qian Ran would have a trump card of his own. Even if he encountered danger in the future, he would not be left without the ability to fight back.
