Chapter 396 The Fame of Xu Sect_1

"So it's someone from Fiery Flame College, I remember now," Liu Erlong said as he looked at Huo Wu in her fiery red attire, her characteristically red hair was quite rare to see.

"Huo Wu is from Xu Sect, so I brought her over," Xu Ran stated.

"Alright. I'll take you to the Xu Sect," Liu Erlong nodded, walking alongside Xu Ran, heading in the direction of the Xu Sect.

Xu Sect had made quite a name for itself in Shrek Academy by now, after all, it was the sect founded by Xu Ran. Of course, the group of beautiful young girls inside was perhaps the most eye-catching feature.

That was before the people from Tianshui College had arrived; otherwise, the sensation they'd cause would have been even greater.

For now, the members of Xu Sect were all Xu Ran's own people, Xiaowu, Rongrong, Zhu Qing, and the others had a big reputation in Shrek. Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, among others, were also extremely renowned. Just their fame in the two main colleges alone made Xu Sect's name resound among the students.

Xu Ran had handed over all matters concerning the Xu Sect to Ning Rongrong and the others to manage.

Even after founding Xu Sect, Xu Ran just wanted to be a hands-off manager. He had no interest in dealing with minor annoying matters. He only paid attention to the important things. He had no interest in getting involved in other trivial affairs.

During Xu Ran's absence, Liu Erlong had taken advantage of his position to add a few new locations to Xu Sect, including an exclusive enrollment spot for the sect.

Now, Xu Sect had become quite famous among some academies in Tiandou City, attracting many people.

Xu Ran arrived at a spacious area led by Liu Erlong.

Many people were gathered here, with a long line clearly composed of those wishing to join Xu Sect.

Among them were many admirers of Xu Ran. His fame on the Continent was not low, especially among the families of nobility, where his name had already spread far and wide.

In one sentence, "Even when Brother isn't in the jianghu, legends of Brother are already spreading in the jianghu."

Originally, Xu Ran was well-known but seldom showed his face; very few people knew of him, and no one knew he was actually at Shrek Academy. Even Liu Erlong had been unaware at first, let alone others.

However, as Xu Ran made appearances in the advanced classes, word of his presence at Shrek Academy spread like wildfire. In just a few days, who knows how many people came exclusively for him. Many even transferred to Shrek Academy just to witness this legendary genius for themselves.

"Isn't this a bit excessive?"

Xu Ran curled his lip. He had not intended to accept too many disciples, adhering to an elitist principle, but when he thought about the recruitment principles of Shrek Academy. Geniuses are geniuses wherever they go, so do they still need your training?

Thus, seeing this scene, he let Ning Rongrong and the others have their way.

Even if they followed the recruitment principles of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, the quality of the disciples wouldn't be lacking.

However, while a disciple's talent might be somewhat lesser, their character could not be flawed.

Here, character specifically means not recruiting lecherous creeps. Lecherous creeps, in both his past life and this one, were universally despised and condemned.

If he brought a bunch of lecherous creeps into Xu Sect, wouldn't his beautiful wives be in danger?

Even if they were lustful in thought but not in courage, ogling his women every day, he'd rather not.

One of the important conditions for entering Xu Sect: be a gentleman of good character.

"So many people," Huo Wu also gasped, staring dumbfounded at the crowd enrolling here. Was Xu Sect really that impressive? With so many people, if she had to do the laundry and cooking for Xu Sect, she would be worn to a frazzle.

Huo Wu glanced at Xu Ran with a sense of melancholy longing.

"I won't make you do it all," Xu Ran flicked Huo Wu on the forehead.

Xu Ran planned to bring out those precious ingredients to nourish Ning Rongrong and the others, and then intensify their training. Now that his own strength had increased, he naturally wished to boost Xiaowu and the girls' abilities as well.

For them, Soul Land was just the beginning, with the Divine Realm and even broader worlds beyond it.

He definitely didn't want them to be just vases at the starting point, with poor fundamentals making them only so strong even if they became gods.

A long queue of people looked up admiringly at the woman ahead.

There stood a young girl in a long blue dress, stunningly beautiful and looking young but exuding an immense aura of authority. Where her gaze fell, everyone felt inferior and lowered their heads.

The young miss of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, Ning Rongrong, was rumored to be Xu Ran's woman—someone they dare not provoke.

"The Xu Sect is quite strict, huh? More so than the typical major sects."

"The Xu Sect has always focused on an elite path; it's normal for it to be a bit tougher. Didn't you see those from the Xu Sect just now? They're terribly powerful, the elites from various academies."

"And then there's Xu Sect's Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling... Their talent and backgrounds are not weak at all. These individuals are very likely to breakthrough to the level of Titled Douluo. Just these people alone, if they break through, the Xu Sect will shake the Continent and instantly become one of the most powerful sects. If we join the Xu Sect now, in the future, we could become elder-level figures in the sect—a windfall, really."

A group of people chattered animatedly.

They had originally come just for a glimpse of those beautiful young girls, many of whom were little fans of the Xu Sect, but they hadn't really taken the sect seriously. However, hearing someone analyze it this way, they suddenly realized the terrifying potential of the Xu Sect.

A sect established by peerless geniuses could rise in just one or two decades.

Of course, they didn't yet know the full extent of Xu Ran's strength, otherwise, they would have been desperately vying to join the Xu Sect without wanting to leave.

"Xu Ran?" Ning Rongrong looked around and, upon seeing Xu Ran, showed a charming smile. She disregarded her image as a lady and hurried into Xu Ran's arms, taking just two steps for every three.

"You've come, Xu Ran."

"I've done pretty well, haven't I? Hehe, the Xu Sect is quite famous now," Ning Rongrong said with a sense of accomplishment as she hugged Xu Ran. She had even returned to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect to ask her father for advice on sect management.

Ning Fengzhi was near tears; Ning Rongrong seemed to care less about their Seven Treasures Glaze Sect and was more interested in managing Xu Ran's newly-established Xu Sect. Still, to improve Ning Rongrong's management skills, he didn't hold back at all and even gave her some of Tiandou City's industries.

"Great job, my Rongrong is the best, already showing the manner of a Sect Master," Xu Ran said as he stroked Ning Rongrong's long hair. She truly seemed to have the bearing of a young Sect Master, somewhat like Yun Yun.

"What are you saying? The Xu Sect is yours, not mine," Ning Rongrong pouted. If it weren't for the fact that it was Xu Ran's, she wouldn't have cared for it at all.

"Haha, I just want to be the hands-off boss. When Lan'er comes out, I'll have her help you," Xu Ran said, pulling Ning Rongrong along with him.

There were a bit too many lustful men around here for intimacy.

"Shameless, always bullying me. You're so lazy," Ning Rongrong pouted coquettishly at Xu Ran. She knew that with his personality, he would certainly prefer to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labors.

"The capable should work harder. If I didn't push you, you wouldn't realize just how capable you are. I'll reward you tonight. I still don't know what the Xu Sect has become now; there's a lot to ask you about. Later on, you can also help point me in the right direction."
