Chapter 244 The Seven Treasures Glaze Sect Arrives_1

"There's no need for everyone to see me off further. Let's stop here, you all should go back," Xu Ran said to the group of ferocious beasts in the inner area of the Aquipeia Forest.

"Yes, my lord," Di Tian nodded, looking at Xu Ran with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. With Xu Ran's talent, how strong would he be when he returned to the Aquipeia Forest next time?

By then, he wouldn't need to rely on the Myriad Beasts Armor to hold his own, right?

By that time, they could start to subjugate the soul beasts in the far northern lands and the Deep Sea, unifying the Beast Clan and preparing for the war against the Divine Realm.

"Ran Di, be extra careful in the human territories. Humans are all despicable and shameless; be careful not to be deceived by them," Zi Ji said, her beautiful eyes filled with worry. She had wanted to accompany Xu Ran to the human world so that she could help him. But Xu Ran had refused.

Zi Ji was very powerful, and indeed, with Zi Ji around, he would have had a formidable assistant.

However, Zi Ji was a ferocious beast. If she rashly went to the human world, he was worried that she would be detected by gods on patrol, which could also potentially expose his identity as the Auspicious Beast and even involve Gu Yuena.

If his power had been weak, having Zi Ji by his side would have been reassuring.

But now, his own strength was also considerable. Even without the Myriad Beasts Armor, he possessed the power to match a top-notch Soul Douluo.

With such power, he could handle most situations, as long as he didn't encounter any of those Titled Douluo.

"Don't worry. Under the heavens, there's no one who can harm me." Xu Ran stepped forward and gave Zi Ji a kiss, causing her to squeal in delight, her worry and sorrow fading away a lot, her cheeks flushed a fetching shade of pink, looking quite tempting.

The current Zi Ji hardly looked like the ferocious and domineering Demon Dragon King of Hell; this side of her was only revealed in Xu Ran's presence. When Xu Ran wasn't there, even the Bear Lord and the Red King, such formidable beasts, were reluctant to provoke Zi Ji.

Women were unreasonable creatures; a slight provocation could lead to her full retaliation.

"Xiaowu, you might as well stay in the Aquipeia Forest for a few more days. Da Ming and Er Ming will keep you company. Shrek Academy is on holiday right now. Zhu Qing and I are heading back to the Xingluo Empire soon, and Rongrong is going back to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect. If you went back to the Academy, there would be no one to keep you company. In a month and a half, you can just go directly to Tiandou City, by then our school should have already moved to Tiandou City," Xu Ran said. He did want to take Xiaowu with him to Xingluo City.

However, he and Zhu Qing were still just fiancees, and it seemed a bit like a scoundrel move to bring Xiaowu back to her parents' house. He owed Zhu Zìháo and the others some courtesy. It didn't seem right to bring another woman back in front of them, and it wouldn't be good for Zhu Qing either.

"Okay," Xiaowu nodded lightly, her long dress fluttering, her beautiful eyes stayed on Xu Ran until his figure had gone far away and vanished from sight...

Xu Ran didn't linger; he quickly shot towards the outside.

After growing stronger in "Cultivation Level", Xu Ran's speed increased significantly. The aura of the Auspicious Beast emanating from him caused the surrounding soul beasts to avoid him.

During the journey, Xu Ran used his Luck Power to tame a soul beast nearing a thousand years, the One-Horned Devil Horse. This was a horse-type soul beast, much faster than regular horses, having reached the soul beast level from being a wild beast.

The One-Horned Devil Horse, although incredibly fast, was almost impossible to tame. While wild beasts could be easily tamed, soul beasts could not. Even in the human world's Hunting Soul Forest, where soul beasts were bred, it was not possible to subdue a soul beast of such caliber to serve one's purpose.

Once out of the Aquipeia Forest, Xu Ran arrived at Hunting Soul Town and fitted the One-Horned Devil Horse with a proper saddle and all the necessary accessories. The appearance of the hundred-year-old soul beast also attracted countless onlookers. Everyone was shocked to see such a docile soul beast in front of Xu Ran, their eyes widening in disbelief.

Actually, for Xu Ran, even the finest ten-thousand-year soul beasts would willingly become his mounts, if only he wished it to be so. But that would be too ostentatious, riding a top-notch ferocious beast with a ten-thousand-year bloodline through the human streets would be a bit too pretentious.

"From now on, you'll be called Black Steed," Xu Ran said as he stroked the incredibly docile black horse in front of him. This was the name of the mount of the King of Chu from Earth's history.

The One-Horned Devil Horse neighed several times and pawed the ground beneath its hooves, signifying its excitement.

Xu Ran then dismounted and controlled the horse to gallop away.

Riding upon this Black Steed, Xu Ran could reach Shrek Academy in just over a day's time. After all, this was a soul beast with nearly a thousand years of "Cultivation Level," and its speed was like the wind. Xu Ran immensely enjoyed the sensation of racing on horseback.

Unlike other Xuanhuan Worlds, Soul Land did not possess methods for humans to control or tame soul beasts. Thus, Xu Ran riding this nearly thousand-year One-Horned Devil Horse attracted frequent attention from passersby due to the soul beast's aura it emitted.

When Xu Ran returned to Shrek Academy, it was just in time for the morning of the second day.

After greeting Flander, Xu Ran left with Zhu Zhuqing.

The two rode together on one mount, and naturally, Xu Ran found many opportunities to play tricks, causing Zhu Zhuqing to exclaim in a delicate voice repeatedly. In her heart, she couldn't help but miss the times they rode in a horse carriage, when although Xu Ran liked to tease, he wasn't so excessive.

Now with Xu Ran holding her on the same mount, pressed tightly against her body, he found even more chances and reasons to take advantage.

...

"Sword Grandpa, Bone Grandpa, Dad, it's here," not long after Xu Ran had left, a richly dressed group arrived at Shrek Academy, consisting of Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo.

In recent days, they had watched dumbfounded as Ning Rongrong's "Cultivation Level" broke through from Soul Elder and skyrocketed to level 37. This rate of breakthrough left them simply astounded.

Such an immense breakthrough might have been one thing, but they found no trace of instability or emptiness in the increase of "Cultivation Level" she displayed. It was as if the increase was the result of many years of diligent cultivation by Ning Rongrong, which was utterly bizarre.

Of course, what excited them the most was Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul transforming into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

From Seven Treasures to Nine Treasures, this meant there was a possibility for Ning Rongrong to break through and become a Titled Douluo in the future.

The Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, boasting a Titled Douluo, would completely shake the world.

If the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda solidified the sect's place among the upper three families, what kind of spectacle would the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda present?

That's why, despite Ning Rongrong saying that the legendary young Xu Ran might not be at the academy, they couldn't resist coming to see for themselves.

Just what kind of extraordinarily talented young man could he be, to be as terrifying as Rongrong described?
