Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

Dai Mubai's first and third Soul Rings flashed at the same time, reopening the White Tiger Diamond Transformation state; simultaneously, a white light shield formed around him for protection.

Following this, his second Soul Ring also lit up. A vast white light condensed instantly, and with a tiger's roar from Dai Mubai, a milky white light ball was expelled from his mouth.

In a very short span of time, the White Tiger Shield, White Tiger Intense Light Wave, and White Tiger Diamond Transformation—all three soul skills—were unleashed.

One must admit, Dai Mubai wasn't entirely useless; his talent was indeed quite impressive. Being able to release three soul skills in one breath was something not many Soul Elders could achieve.

Even though Xu Ran disdained Dai Mubai's character, he recognized his talent.

However, to Dai Mubai's misfortune, his talent was only outstanding when compared to ordinary people. In front of Xu Ran, he could only be considered weak, pitifully so.

Xu Ran stomped the ground with force, not bothering to dodge at all, and charged straight at Dai Mubai with his sword.

Facing the direct-attack class Dai Mubai, Xu Ran could have easily defeated him with more agile methods, but he disdained using such means. He wanted to show Dai Mubai just how vast the gap between them was.

"Slash," Xu Ran called out softly, as a blade of sword light cut straight through Dai Mubai's White Tiger Intense Light Wave.

"Boom! Boom!" Terrifying sonic booms followed as the White Tiger Intense Light Wave was split, and by then, Xu Ran had already rapidly closed in on Dai Mubai.

Seeing Xu Ran's figure, Dai Mubai was panic-stricken with terror, only to see a horrifyingly fierce sword light; before he could react, his consciousness was swallowed up.

"Thud." Dai Mubai crashed to the ground. On his face, there was a not-too-deep sword mark extending from the center of his brow down to between his legs. A fine, rapid flow of blood seeped out, staining his body red.

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for completing the mission, obtaining two hundred Skill Points."

"Brother Xu Ran," seeing Dai Mubai fall, Xiaowu quickly stepped beside Xu Ran and grabbed the sleeve of his clothing. She couldn't help but show some worry on her little face.

"Don't worry, I had control. I left him breathing," Xu Ran said indifferently, sheathing the "Godslayer Sword" and retracting his Martial Soul, his facial expression returning to normal.

"Brother Xu Ran, the aura around you was so terrifying just now, just like a demon that walked out from hell," Xiaowu said, involuntarily gripping Xu Ran's sleeve tighter. She couldn't help feeling frightened, only breathing a sigh of relief when the familiar Xu Ran seemed to return to her side.

"It's all because of you, who else but me would let someone with crooked thoughts towards my Precious Xiao Wu get away? If it were anyone else, I would've killed him for sure," Xu Ran stated. His Soul Rings were bestowed by the System and were extraordinary in power. The intense murderous aura from the Bloody Murder - First Spirit Ability even affected him. Nevertheless, when transformed into the Killing God state, the might of Bloody Murder significantly increased as well.

"Brother Xu Ran, you're talking nonsense again. Who's your Precious Xiao Wu?" Xiaowu's cheeks blushed slightly, all other matters dissipating like smoke in the wind, her mind focusing only on what Xu Ran had previously said to Dai Mubai. Xu Ran actually claimed she was his woman, which was shameless. She hadn't even agreed to it yet!

And he wouldn't allow others to harbor feelings for her? Who would dare to like her after that? How was she supposed to get married?

"What else can I do? I am an Auspicious Beast, and if I say you can't marry anyone else, you simply can't." Xu Ran said with a smile, teasing Xiaowu.

"Brother Xu Ran, you're so bad. If you don't let me marry, what am I supposed to do in the future?" Xiaowu couldn't help but say, her pretty face blushing as she looked down shyly at her crystal shoes that sparkled with silver light in the sunlight. Her feet, wrapped in pantyhose, fidgeted restlessly. Xiaowu's heart was pounding incessantly.

What Xu Ran said was true. The entire Soul Beast Realm would be stirred if an Auspicious Beast wished to breed. Her mother had told her that if an Auspicious Beast were to take a wife, all female soul beasts of a hundred-thousand-year lineage would be very willing. Even if they were unwilling, they would have no choice but to accept if the Auspicious Beast favored them.

Because an Auspicious Beast was too important to the Soul Beast Race. Abilities that enhanced growth speed and increased Tribulation success rates could drive all soul beasts crazy.

The number of Auspicious Beasts was rare. If one died, it could be many years before another was born, as they were born in response to the fortunes of the world. However, if an Auspicious Beast were to breed its own offspring, there was a high chance that another Auspicious Beast could be born.

Moreover, the likelihood of an Auspicious Beast being born from a union of Auspicious Beasts was even higher. There was not a single issue with this, very scientific.

All this had been tested over countless years by powerful soul beasts. Given the high status of Auspicious Beasts and their paramount importance to the Soul Beast Race, their breeding was naturally given great attention. Unfortunately, Auspicious Beasts held themselves in high regard and showed no interest in even hundred-thousand-year female soul beasts, let alone the act of breeding. Operations by the ferocious beasts were out of the question. After all, Auspicious Beasts were the Soul Beast Emperors, and they dared not force an Auspicious Beast into such matters.

An Auspicious Beast was a creature of good fortune. If someone disrespected an Auspicious Beast, there was a high chance that they would attract misfortune.

So now, if Xu Ran wanted her, even if she disagreed, the entire Soul Beast Clan would coerce her into agreement. After all, it was rare to find an Auspicious Beast that showed interest in "that sort" of thing. Nothing could be allowed to go wrong with the breeding of an Auspicious Beast.

"Don't worry. Even if you find someone you like in the future and want to be with him, as long as he's a good man, I won't oppose your relationship. Even if I like you very much, I can't hold you back," Xu Ran said. His hand involuntarily wrapped around Xiaowu's slender waist, his nose filled with the faint fragrance emanating from her.

Of course, although he said so verbally, if such a situation really occurred, Xu Ran was determined to stab that person dead with a sword.

"Brother Xu Ran, I won't fall for someone else. But I do need some more time," Xiaowu said softly, feeling Xu Ran's caressing hand on her body, unusually unresisting.

In her heart, she held some fondness for Xu Ran. Setting aside others, just like her, Xu Ran had re-cultivated from a soul beast to Transform, which gave her a different kind of feeling for him. After all, things she had not dared to speak of, that she wanted to keep hidden in her heart, could be shared with Xu Ran.

And as an Auspicious Beast and Soul Beast Emperor, Xu Ran wielded great influence in The Soul Beast Realm. If Xu Ran truly liked her, then marrying him and bearing his offspring would also be a responsibility as a soul beast.

She just needed more time to process everything. No matter how deep her fondness for Xu Ran, she couldn't agree so quickly, especially not taking the initiative to agree; she found it hard to vocalize that.

Dai Mubai woke up from a groggy state; he felt intense pain all over his body, and his head was spinning. He tried to call for help, but he lacked the strength to even speak. Opening his eyes, all he saw were Xu Ran and Xiaowu being affectionate with each other, and he fainted from anger.

He was so severely injured, he felt like he was close to death.

Yet they could still show affection so calmly, which made him directly faint from anger and slip back into unconsciousness.
