Chapter 517 Xu Ran, You, You're a Soul Beast?_1

```

"What, what is this?"

Qian Renxue was completely stunned, looking at the golden giant beast in front of her in shock.

The soul beast's body was covered in golden fur, and its form seemed to be a combination of a lion's head, deer antlers, tiger eyes, an elk's body, and dragon scales; its tail was furry like a dragon's, covered with golden fluff.

It emitted a golden glow from all over its body, with a virtual cloud of golden auspiciousness enveloping its paws. With the beast's appearance, the already spacious room now seemed quite cramped.

This was still with Xu Ran deliberately restraining his own size.

Unlike other ordinary soul beasts, Xu Ran could freely control his own size. If he were to release his full body size, he would be at least tens of meters long.

After all, his soul beast "Cultivation Level" had already reached 200,000 years.

A 200,000-year-old soul beast, even among soul beasts, was regarded as a heaven-shaking existence.

An Auspicious Beast possesses the Power of Destiny and can even withstand the tribulations of heaven. But it's rare for an Auspicious Beast to live up to 100,000 years. Born from fortune, they also perish due to their own destiny.

However, Xu Ran was an anomaly in The Soul Beast Realm, not bound by the laws of Soul Land.

Other soul beasts had to face heavenly tribulations, but Xu Ran was not recognized by the heavenly path as someone who should be subjected to them, so he naturally didn't have to face any heavenly tribulations.

Moreover, Xu Ran was not restricted by the order of the Divine Realm.

Xu Ran didn't need to think to know that there were surely gods in the Divine Realm attempting to change the order to suppress his growth.

But all that was merely wishful thinking. He wasn't a native of Soul Land, so there was no way the laws here could suppress his growth.

It would be more feasible to suppress him with the laws of Earth...

"Xu Ran, you, you are?"

"Are you a soul beast?"

Qian Renxue exclaimed in surprise. She had thought she knew Xu Ran well enough, but at this moment, she was intensely aware of how terrifying he was.

She had never fully grasped the extent of Xu Ran's abilities, yet Xu Ran had always clearly understood her depth.

At this moment, all the mysteries in her heart were solved.

She had wondered how Xu Ran could possibly know a God King level soul beast such as the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena. It turned out Xu Ran himself was an incredibly powerful soul beast.

His entire body glowed like a blazing fire in golden fur, with auspicious clouds even beneath that, his massive head exuding mystery and nobility, every part of him radiated a frighteningly powerful aura.

Most importantly, Qian Renxue noticed.

It was so big, it would take at least six hands to wrap around it.

Too terrifying, truly too terrifying; it was much thicker than her waist. Indeed, whether as a human or as a soul beast, Xu Ran had some natural advantages in certain aspects.

"What's the matter? Little Xue'er, are you afraid of me now?" Xu Ran opened his huge mouth, and that gaping maw was easily big enough to swallow Qian Renxue whole.

The size difference between humans and soul beasts is naturally significant; this is also an important reason why humans and soul beasts cannot fall in love. Cough cough, after Transforming and re-Cultivating, that's no longer a problem, just like a human.

But with a soul beast's body and Qian Renxue... it's completely unthinkable, at least until Qian Renxue becomes a god, then there might be a slim possibility.

```

"I'm not afraid. It's not like you'd eat me," Qian Renxue pouted. Although Xu Ran was very large, he didn't possess the viciousness typical of other soul beasts, but rather exuded a noble and peaceful temperament.

She had never seen such a soul beast before. Like an emperor, Xu Ran sat above all, his demeanor and wisdom unmatched by ordinary soul beasts.

There is a strict hierarchy among soul beasts, and typically, soul beasts with weak bloodlines don't attract the attention of the more powerful ones.

Only the powerful soul beasts can win the favor of the female beasts.

The fact that Gu Yuena, a female Tyrannosaurus of God King Level, was so fond of Xu Ran spoke volumes about the extraordinariness of his bloodline.

"I am an Auspicious Beast, the fortune beast of the Soul Beast Clan, also known as the Soul Beast Emperor."

"Where the Auspicious Beast dwells, the growth rate of soul beasts will double. Hence, even the weakest Auspicious Beast is treasured as an emperor," Xu Ran explained.

"Soul Beast Emperor, doubling the speed of cultivation..." Waves of shock surged in Qian Renxue's heart; with her extraordinary experience, she understood perfectly what these words implied.

The Soul Beast Clan's pace of cultivation is slow, but their numbers are vast. Xu Ran's ability to double the overall growth rate of the soul beasts not only mattered for the soul beasts, but it was also of positive significance to humans.

"Xu Ran, if you're so powerful in the soul beast world, why come to the human world? Isn't it better to enjoy yourself in the Aquipeia Forest? There must also be plenty of beautiful female beasts there," Qian Renxue was somewhat puzzled. Xu Ran's status in the soul beast world was akin to that of the Pope in their human world. It was an extremely prestigious position.

If Xu Ran held such a high status in the soul beast world, wasn't it better for him to be in the Aquipeia Forest?

"Although soul beasts are good, they grow too slowly. Humans can become strong within decades and reach the pinnacle of the Continent. For soul beasts, it's too far off."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Now, let me help you enhance your strength," Xu Ran shook his head. He knew that Qian Renxue must be full of questions, but there were many things he couldn't explain to her.

The System was his greatest trump card, the fundamental reason he could stand his ground in this world.

"How are you going to enhance my strength?" Qian Renxue's eyes widened, looking at Xu Ran curiously.

Only by getting stronger could she stay better by Xu Ran's side, accompany him in battle. Only with great strength could she hold her ground against the other women around Xu Ran and secure a better position for herself.

No matter the time, she must strive to grow stronger. She didn't want to end up as a useless vase in the future.

"You just need to feel my aura to know," Xu Ran said with a purse-lipped smile.

"This..."

Qian Renxue focused, seriously feeling Xu Ran's aura, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Xu Ran's aura was identical to hers but ten times stronger.

Her attributes were Sacred Light and Flame, triple one, which also seemed to be Xu Ran's main attributes.

The vast and solid strength of those attributes was intoxicating. She believed that, if she continued to cultivate in this manner, even if she became a Level 99 Limit Douluo, her attributes would never be as powerful. Even her grandfather, Qian Dao Liu, had never achieved this magnitude.

"These are utmost attributes, all three of them utmost attributes."

"I've hit the jackpot, Xu Ran, you're really great, I love you to death," Qian Renxue smiled radiantly, crying out excitedly, jumping around in place, overwhelmed with excitement.

She had a vague understanding of how Xu Ran was going to help her; if all three of her attributes were enhanced... With her Angel's Martial Soul already at God Rank, to what degree might it grow?

At that time, she truly might have the chance to strive for even greater heights.
