"Of course. Xu Ran is quite powerful. And, that, even though I can't beat you, you are definitely no match for Xu Ran," Zi Yan said with pride.
She was somewhat looking forward to the scene where Xu Ran would beat these two arrogant guys to the ground.
However, since they knew about the Taixu Ancient Dragon, their backgrounds must also be considerable.
"Zi Yan, are you causing trouble again?" Xu Ran slowly approached. Seeing that Zi Yan had become a Douzong so quickly also startled him. He had known Zi Yan for less than a month; relying on his elixirs, she advanced to Douhuang, and then with the inheritance from Zhukun, she reached Douzong. It seemed there was nothing wrong with that. Moreover, Zi Yan's strength should continue to soar at this explosive rate in the future.
Under normal circumstances, given Zi Yan's identity, at this age, she should be at least a Dou Zun.
"What trouble have I caused? I was just venting for you. These two are here to cause trouble for you," Zi Yan retorted upon hearing Xu Ran's voice, clearly unpleased. She was already fierce and took action directly because she heard that guy doubt Xu Ran's strength.
Zi Yan was about to complain to Xu Ran when she caught sight of the people next to him...
Instantly, she became alert.
There were several girls whose looks were no less than hers, and even a tad more beautiful.
"Xu Ran, who are they?" Zi Yan bit her silver teeth, her beautiful eyes slowly filling with mist. She was upset. So this was the pain of falling in love with someone?
Was Xu Ran's romantic luck really that good?
Xun Er and the others were already so many, and now Xu Ran was bringing along so many new faces.
Was Xu Ran even normal?
Even in the Dragon Clan, was anyone that incredible? She had now received the bloodline inheritance of the Taixu Ancient Dragon and recalled many inheritances about the strong ones of the Ancient Dragon Tribe.
So she knew that even if it was a dragon's body, if it was being drained every day, it would definitely be sucked dry.
And Xu Ran, that guy, every time she went to find him, she could always hear some inappropriate sounds coming from the room, and she would often have to leave angrily. With so much time, Xu Ran was always up to no good, so why was he still so vigorous?
A normal person wouldn't be able to last a week before becoming pale and emaciated with dim eyes. But it seemed Xu Ran was not even human to begin with.
The ones who came with Xu Ran were naturally Xiaowu, Rongrong, Zhu Qing, as well as Qian Renxue and Qiu'er.
Seeing Xu Ran at Canaan Academy, they naturally couldn't resist the desire to come to Canaan Academy too. Especially Rongrong and Xiaowu, they had followed Xu Ran while at Shrek Academy and were naturally very much looking forward to campus life.
As for Qian Renxue, she had never cultivated in an academy before. She had never experienced the youthful campus life, and most importantly, Qian Renxue had always thought that her position in Xu Ran's heart was weaker because she hadn't cultivated with him at Shrek Academy.
Qiu'er was an Auspicious Beast and also the one who liked to cling to Xu Ran the most. To be honest, Xu Ran also felt it was better to have Qiu'er by his side. After all, Qiu'er was not like him. Although Qiu'er had transformed, she was essentially still an Auspicious Beast. If there were transformed soul beasts nearby, they could sense her magical effects. Xu Ran was different, though. He could switch between human and beast forms, and even if there were super-powerful experts observing him from the outside, they could not possibly know about Xu Ran's other forms.
As for Bi Bidong and Gu Yuena, it was natural they wouldn't follow Xu Ran to Canaan Academy to cultivate. With their proud and confident nature, they were more likely to be in charge of others than to be managed by someone else. They just greeted Xu Ran and went off to find their own places to cultivate. Although they were Dou Shengs, their sensitivity to the Heavenly Energy was sharper than anyone else's.
Xu Ran guessed that it would only take them a few years to reach the pinnacle of Dou Sheng.
Most of the others were reading books at the Hei Yin Great Auction House, experiencing the local customs of the Fighting Spirit Continent, and when they got bored, they would come to Canaan Academy to find Xu Ran.
Hmm, Xu Ran hurriedly thought to himself that very soon, he would have over thirty Dou Saint Experts on his side. With a bit more time, just this group alone could easily thrash those so-called Ancient Families.
"Hehe, my name is Ning Rongrong, this is Xiaowu, the one with the exaggerated figure is Zhu Qing, and over there, the cold-faced, silent one is Qian Renxue. The one with pink and blue hair is Qiu'er," Ning Rongrong said with a laugh as she greeted Zi Yan.
Oh, in the "Harem" group of the Divine Realm, Ning Rongrong seemed to play the role of a mediator, having a very good relationship with all the girls.
Listening to Ning Rongrong's introductions, Zhu Zhuqing and Qian Renxue both glared fiercely at her. Even after many years, Ning Rongrong was still envious of Zhu Zhuqing's figure. Qian Renxue, though much more cheerful, had never changed her proud character.
"Oh." Zi Yan, who had originally been quite angry, didn't know why, but she suddenly wasn't angry anymore, even wondering if her tolerance was too small. It's said that one should not strike a smiling face after all... However, Zi Yan couldn't help but sneak glances at Qiu'er, probably attracted by Qiu'er's Auspicious Beast aura.
Xu Ran noticed Zi Yan's gaze and understood in his heart; the ability of an Auspicious Beast was truly useful.
"Is he your enemy?"
Qian Renxue pointed at Gu Qingyang, a fighting spirit igniting in her eyes.
Having arrived at this place, she had not yet sparred with anyone native to it and was naturally itching to do so.
"Hardly an enemy, right?" Xu Ran's mouth twitched. The Gu Clan should be considered as his maternal home. But the Gu Clan really held him in high regard. Gu Qingyang—if he wasn't mistaken—held a high position in the Gu Clan; after Gu Yuan became a Dou Di, he handed over the management of the Gu Clan to Gu Qingyang. This guy was the future Clan Leader of the Gu Clan. It could be said that, apart from Xun Er, Gu Qingyang was the only passable youth of the Gu Clan's new generation.
"Then he must be looking for trouble, I can see disdain in his eyes for you. Let me beat him up for you," Qian Renxue said, taking out the Angelic Holy Sword, eager to try.
Before Xu Ran could speak, Xiaowu intercepted her before he could.
Xiaowu had a streak for violence in her bones. Back at Nuoding Academy, she was the boss of the students there and only restrained herself after being with Xu Ran. Having arrived in the Divine Realm and becoming a goddess, she naturally couldn't enter into brawls anymore, but now the memories of her times at Nuoding Academy and Shrek Academy made her excited again.
"Let me do it, let me do it. Sister Xue'er, let me take action, please? I haven't fought with anyone in such a long time," Xiaowu pleaded with sparkling eyes while pouting her mouth, appearing truly pitiable.
"I want in too. I want to test my current combat power," Zhu Zhuqing stated as she stood by Xu Ran's side, showing no sign of backing down.
Qiu'er loved joining in on the fun, and she certainly wouldn't miss out on something like this.
However, Gu Qingyang's face instantly darkened. At this moment, Gu Qingyang's heart was deeply wounded.
