Douluo : Capture the goddess starting from peerless tang sect

"So amazing! I want to learn too!" Xiao Xiao exclaimed.

Qian Ran had previously taught Xiao Xiao to refine her spiritual power, but she hadn't paid it much mind.

After all, the mainstream approach focused on raising soul power, and high spiritual power alone wasn't given much attention.

Before Qian Ran, spiritual power was largely considered supplementary, without strong offensive capability. Even Huo Yuhao, with his Spirit Eyes martial soul, relied on soul power to drive his abilities.

But with the help of the system, Qian Ran had already paved a different path, one that could potentially be even more powerful than the soul power system. After all, as time went on, the overall strength of soul beasts inevitably declined, which would, in turn, weaken soul masters as well.

In the post-Douluo era, technology and specialized abilities became essential, and spiritual power would undoubtedly align better with that future.

It reminded Qian Ran of the Godly Music Masters in the world of "Zither Emperor."

As he mused, he realized that perhaps Xiao Xiao could develop in that direction.

When the song ended, the group surrounded Qian Ran.

Xiao Xiao was absolutely taken with him.

She wanted to play more duets with him, and she longed to become as powerful as he was.

"I'll teach you when the time comes," Qian Ran said, gently ruffling Xiao Xiao's hair.

"I'm definitely going to train my spiritual power well," she decided. With Qian Ran's help, her cultivation speed wouldn't suffer, and if she mastered this strength, she wouldn't fall behind Wang Dong'er.

Wu Feng and Ning Tian also gathered around.

Ning Tian looked at Qian Ran with an intense gaze, her expression tinged with longing and a hint of disappointment.

Qian Ran hadn't made any advances toward her, and it left her doubting herself.

Wu Feng noticed this and felt a pang of guilt. If not for her, Ning Tian would have been with Qian Ran by now. She had been the first to get close to him, and it weighed on her.

At first, Wu Feng hadn't expected to fall for Qian Ran.

Even if she could no longer be with Ning Tian romantically, she still deeply cared for her as a sister. She didn't want Ning Tian to feel heartbroken.

"Hehe, I'm going to work hard!" Xiao Xiao laughed, sticking out her tongue playfully. She hadn't initially taken Qian Ran's promise to help her with the flute seriously, but now she could see it might truly elevate her skills. Qian Ran wouldn't lie to her.

Qian Ran felt a bit overwhelmed by all the girls' adoring gazes. He'd given his all with Zhou Yi earlier, and hadn't quite recovered.

Even an iron constitution needed a bit of recovery time.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi appeared, calling away the girls who looked ready to devour Qian Ran.

"Who told you to be such a romantic? How will you handle this in the future?" Xiao Xiao teased, pouting as she watched Qian Ran get flustered. She laughed, realizing Qian Ran was digging himself into a mountain of romantic debt he'd have to repay eventually.

"Oh, you dare laugh?" Qian Ran playfully pushed her to the ground and tickled her, causing her to laugh uncontrollably, begging him to stop. He finally gave her a playful slap on her well-developed backside.

Recently, Xiao Xiao's figure had blossomed, her slender frame beginning to show enticing curves—a transformation entirely due to Qian Ran's influence.

She might even reach a C-cup in the future. Anything more wouldn't suit her petite frame, and Qian Ran preferred variety in the women around him. If they all had the same figure as Zhu Lu, he'd eventually grow bored. A diversity of shapes and styles made life infinitely more enjoyable; too much of the same thing became mundane.

"Wu Feng, do you think Qian Ran dislikes me?" Hidden away, Ning Tian watched enviously as Qian Ran and Xiao Xiao played around, thinking how wonderful it would be to be so close with him.

"Huh? Don't think that way, Ning Tian," Wu Feng said quickly, taking her hand, worried she might misinterpret the situation.

There was no way Qian Ran disliked Ning Tian.

As the young mistress of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Tian was undoubtedly attractive to Qian Ran.

He had grand ideas of gathering both Zhu Lu and Ning Tian and pairing them with Dong'er or Jiang Nannan, to recreate the original Shrek trio. The thought of experiencing the joys of the past era's trio was something he looked forward to. Jiang Nannan, Zhu Lu, and Ning Tian's martial souls were the Soft-Boned Rabbit, the Netherworld Spirit Cat, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, respectively.

This experience was something Qian Ran eagerly anticipated.

Of course, Jiang Nannan was unrelated to Xiao Wu, and while Dong'er didn't have the Soft-Boned Rabbit spirit, she was Xiao Wu's daughter. The pairing of Dong'er, Zhu Lu, and Ning Tian was equally thrilling. Both Jiang Nannan and Dong'er had inherited Xiao Wu's stunning legs, and Jiang Nannan's Soft-Boned Rabbit martial soul made her a captivating presence in Qian Ran's eyes.

To claim the original Shrek trio would have to wait until he ascended to the Divine Realm. Then, in front of Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Oscar... hehe… now that would be true joy.

Qian Ran had shared his idea with Wu Feng before, so she was well aware of his intentions. In short, Qian Ran had a considerable interest in Ning Tian.

The original Seven Monsters were idols to countless people at Shrek Academy, yet here was Qian Ran planning to sully their memory. How audacious.

"Actually, Qian Ran has always…" Wu Feng hesitated, but decided to be honest with Ning Tian.

After all, she'd find out everything once she was with Qian Ran.

"You mean… you and Qian Ran have already…?" Ning Tian's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Wu Feng. She suddenly understood why Wu Feng sometimes seemed so strange, her face flushed. So it was because of Qian Ran.

"Ning Tian, you won't blame me, will you?" Wu Feng looked at her apologetically, fearing Ning Tian would be upset.

"I won't. If you hadn't told me, I would've thought Qian Ran really disliked me," Ning Tian said. She had always been open, but Qian Ran hadn't shown much response, leaving her unsure of what to do. Wu Feng's words, however, restored her confidence.

Ning Tian hadn't realized Qian Ran was interested in her family's ancestors. A thousand years ago, her ancestor Ning Rongrong had ascended to the position of Nine-Colored Goddess, and for generations, countless members of the Ning family had looked up to her as a role model.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect still preserved many of Ning Rongrong's belongings, even personal items, which were carefully stored by the sect.

If Qian Ran really liked them, then maybe…

Ning Tian's cheeks flushed as her heart began to race. If Qian Ran wanted it, she could give it to him.

If she wore her ancestor Ning Rongrong's clothing and appeared before Qian Ran, surely he'd be thrilled, and maybe then, he'd take her as his own. In that way, she would truly become his woman.

Seeing Ning Tian's blushing face, Wu Feng knew her worries were unfounded.

Ning Tian's devotion to Qian Ran was unmistakable. She would probably go to great lengths to be with him, perhaps even doing something truly extraordinary.
