Douluo : Capture the goddess starting from peerless tang sect

Zhou Yi was deeply entranced by the duet of flute and zither, closing her eyes as if her very soul were being cleansed.

The world Qian Ran crafted was filled with sunlight, streams, meadows, flowers, grass, insects, fish, and birds—a scene so healing and beautiful.

When the music ended, everyone wore expressions of wistful longing.

"Who would've thought Qian Ran possessed such talent? Integrating spiritual power into his music?" Zhou Yi took a deep breath, realizing how mysterious this man was. It seemed that anything he set out to do, he mastered completely.

Perhaps listening to Qian Ran's music from time to time could even benefit her cultivation.

After all, most people struggle with restless minds, which hampers training results. Even now, her own heart, unsettled from being with Qian Ran just moments before, had been completely soothed.

"Being Qian Ran's woman, even just his lover, is a kind of happiness in itself," Zhou Yi mused.

At times, she felt guilty toward Fan Yu, but she had no regrets.

"And Qian Ran's use of spiritual power has become more fearsome. If he had wanted to harm us just now, we wouldn't even know how we'd died." Zhou Yi knew that Qian Ran's greatest strength was his formidable spiritual power.

Qian Ran had once invited her to train in spiritual power with him, but she declined in the end.

Her talent was not particularly high; otherwise, she wouldn't have been stuck at her current rank for so long. Without Qian Ran's help, she might not even reach the threshold of Soul Douluo. Diverting her energy to another area would only slow her progress further.

Besides, she wasn't especially driven to pursue power. Being with Qian Ran was enough; what was the point of strength without happiness?

After a long while, everyone finally snapped out of their daze.

All the girls looked at Qian Ran with a mix of infatuation and astonishment.

"Sis, Qian Ran is amazing."

Lan Luoluo lightly poked her twin sister, Lan Susu, with her finger, biting her lip, her eyes full of admiration.

Was this truly the most gifted of their generation?

He truly deserved his title as the top prodigy.

For an amateur, his performance was stunning, but those with a deeper understanding knew the magnitude of what he'd achieved. Just now, he had drawn them all into an illusion with his music. If it had been a battle, Qian Ran could have easily defeated them.

In the outer academy, Qian Ran's power was unrivaled.

Only a handful of the strongest teachers could possibly hold their own against him.

"No wonder Dai Huabin avoids him now—Qian Ran is too powerful," Lan Susu agreed. No one knew Qian Ran's limits, but it was widely acknowledged that no one in the outer academy could match him.

Because of Qian Ran's unmatched strength, he enjoyed many privileges at Shrek Academy.

Even Mu En himself couldn't do much about Qian Ran at Shrek.

Many of the elders of Sea God Pavilion kept a close watch on him.

"It's just a pity…" Lan Susu looked over at Xiao Xiao and Zhu Lu nearby, then at Wu Feng and Ning Tian, sighing. If given the chance, she wouldn't want to let go either. Among their peers, Qian Ran was nearly unparalleled—who wouldn't want to be the woman behind him?

Even as twins, they held no great advantage; their competitors were simply too strong.

Yet…

Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo both looked deeply at Qian Ran, their hearts stirring.

They truly didn't want to give up. Even just following beside him would be better than living a life of mediocrity.

At that moment, Cui Yajie also made up her mind—no matter what, she was determined to be with Qian Ran.

And for the others, their admiration for Qian Ran was tinged with a feeling of inadequacy. The more exceptional Qian Ran became, the more stark the gap between them seemed, making them feel unworthy even to dream of being close to him. They could only gaze upon him from afar.

As the awe settled, Qian Ran began playing another renowned song from his past life.

His fingers flew across the strings, and the majestic sound of the zither carried a faintly menacing undertone.

Qian Ran felt that each pluck of the strings resonated with the energy around him, forming powerful sound blades. A massive water dragon seemed to appear beside him, swirling and roaring in harmony with his music.

"A self-created soul skill?"

Everyone stared at Qian Ran in amazement.

The energy within the water dragon definitely reached the level of a late-stage Soul Sage.

As the music swelled to its climax, the majestic water dragon shot up into the sky, bringing a downpour with it.

"So strong!"

If before, Qian Ran had merely incorporated spiritual power into his music, now he was able to infuse soul power into it, using his control over elemental attributes to create tangible attacks.

This ability alone set him far above most.

Just then, Ice Emperor emerged and observed the scene with a complex expression.

She had always considered herself a rare talent, but compared to Qian Ran, she felt somewhat insignificant.

She, and even Mu En with his "Sovereign of All" technique, could merge spiritual power into external objects, but they were far from reaching Qian Ran's level of ease and naturalness. Qian Ran could effortlessly create miniature virtual realms with his spiritual power.

If he wished, he could trap weaker individuals in such illusions indefinitely, effectively turning them into living plants.

Thankfully, Qian Ran bore no hostility toward soul beasts. Otherwise, even the Di Tian might not be able to rival him in the future.

Di Tian, the strongest beast on the continent, unmatched even by Snow Emperor and considered the closest creature to godhood. But if given time to become an Ultimate Douluo, even Di Tian would not be Qian Ran's equal. This man was a true prodigy!

In Ice Emperor's view, Qian Ran was like someone who existed beyond the rules of this world. The restrictions binding all soul beasts and soul masters did not apply to him, which was why he could achieve such monstrous power.

Normal people, no matter how powerful, were still limited by those constraints. But Qian Ran appeared unfettered.

"A demonically talented Qian Ran, plus Qian Renxue, and the beast queen Gu Yue Na—perhaps they truly could challenge the Divine Realm one day," thought Ice Emperor, her gaze on Qian Ran sparkling.

The stronger Qian Ran grew, the happier she felt. Seeing him grow made her happier than improving her own strength.

After all, Qian Ran was now her man.

Only by attaining godhood could Qian Ran achieve immortality, allowing them to stay together forever.

"I'll ask him later—I want to learn too. It does seem fun." A gentle smile played on Ice Emperor's lips. Qian Ran looked rather handsome while playing the zither. He was becoming more and more captivating.
