"Dou Zun 'Cultivation Level'? Are you a Dou Zun Expert?"
"Only a Dou Zun Expert could control space power so skillfully!"
"I never expected you to be a Dou Zun Expert! It's true that you have the capital to be proud, but my Gu Clan is not something you can manipulate."
Ling Ying said disdainfully.
In his eyes, the Gu Clan was the most powerful!
Today, even if it cost him his life, he would never shame his clan just to stay alive!
Even a Dou Zun could absolutely not trouble the Gu Clan.
A person, even if they became an invincible expert, could they ever have a foundation more powerful than a strong clan?
"Dou Zun? What's that?"
Xu Ran was disdainful. In his eyes, there was no difference between a Dou Zun and a Douhuang, just a slightly stronger ant, that's all.
Even a Dou Saint would be easily erased with a flick of his finger without any effort.
Xu Ran's powerful aura kept surging out!
Ling Ying's eyes widened.
What did he see?
At the moment before him, it seemed as if there was an emperor high above, looking down on all people, not taking anything seriously!
Yes!
That powerful feeling made him feel so insignificant.
This is…
In the Gu Clan, when the Clan Leader entrusted the young Miss to his protection, he had fortunately met some of the ancient experts of his clan. But even they had never had such a terrifying aura!
Was that a Dou Saint?
At this moment, Ling Ying no longer dared to treat Xu Ran as a mere youngster!
Even the Gu Clan had few Dou Saints!
Every Dou Saint Expert could be called an absolute monster!
And was Xu Ran also one such old monster? But Xu Ran was clearly very young!
Although there are some experts on the Continent who can maintain their youthful appearance, the innate sense of age cannot be suppressed. Even with heaven-defying abilities, one cannot reverse the passage of life.
"Dou Saint?" Xu Ran shook his head.
"Watch carefully." Xu Ran turned his head towards a large tree and casually waved his hand; the large tree immediately exploded into fragments.
Ling Ying was very puzzled and didn't understand what Xu Ran meant.
But the next moment, he opened his mouth wide, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
Because he saw that the large tree was quietly growing back, returning to its original state in a moment's time!
This this this…
All that Ling Ying saw completely shattered his comprehension!
Could a Dou Saint Expert do all this?
The answer is no.
Immediately afterward, with another point from Xu Ran, a huge hole appeared in Ling Ying's chest with blood pouring out. The intense pain made Ling Ying despair.
He could feel the ebbing of his life.
That feeling of being on the brink of death was incredibly uncomfortable.
At this moment, he knew the preciousness of being alive.
However, the next moment, he felt his life being restored, as if nothing had happened! And his 'Cultivation Level' exploded upward at that moment!
In an instant, he broke through to Dou Zong!
Ling Ying was numb!
He didn't understand what had happened!
Xu Ran had just killed his mother, hadn't he? He had seen with his own eyes the large wound in his chest, yet why hadn't he died, and why did he feel even more vigorous, his life force stronger than ever?
More importantly, he had directly broken through to the Douzong level!
With his "Cultivation Level," it would have taken him several years of arduous cultivation to break through to Douzong, but in Xu Ran's presence, it only took a moment!
Such ability completely stunned him, surpassing his understanding.
One thought of life, one thought of death, in the span of a flick of a finger, his "Cultivation Level" had broken through.
It was as if he were dreaming.
Suddenly, Ling Ying seemed to remember something and looked towards the large tree. It was lusher and more luxuriant than before, standing out vividly from all the other vegetation around!
A true expert!
A real master!
Ling Ying was completely shocked! He wasn't foolish, he knew he had encountered a master! Xu Ran was that master!
"My lord, Ling Ying had no intention of offending you, I hope you can forgive my transgression."
Bang!!!
Ling Ying knelt on the ground earnestly as he spoke.
Having met such a master, he had to admit his mistake quickly.
Otherwise, it would bring calamity to the Gu Clan as well!
Before, he thought Xu Ran was boasting when he said the Gu Clan meant nothing to him. But now he was fully convinced that such a master, if he really took action, would cause the Gu Clan heavy losses!
Even though he didn't know exactly how high Xu Ran's "Cultivation Level" was, that mysterious and peculiar ability was something not even the Gu Clan's experts had.
This kind of expert waived his hand and helped him break through to Douzong, sparing him four or five years of bitter cultivation.
"If I really blamed you, I wouldn't have helped you break through your 'Cultivation Level.' I'm just showing you that I am not the same as Xiao Yan," Xu Ran said indifferently, standing with his hands behind his back.
Ling Ying was protecting Xun Er, how could he really kill Ling Ying?
Moreover, he could tell that Ling Ying was very loyal to Xun Er. Having Ling Ying by Xun Er's side was exactly what he wanted.
"Of course, that trash Xiao Yan can't compare with Your Excellency," Ling Ying hastily replied. This was truly what he felt in his heart. In his eyes, Xu Ran, so powerful, was like a god.
And Xiao Yan was an utter weakling, unable to even break through the Dou Zhe level.
"Hmm. In the future, if there's any issue concerning Xun Er, report it to me."
"Also, don't let Xiao Yan get close to Xun Er. Over the years, you might persuade Xun Er how Xiao Yan isn't worthy of her...and there are some other matters, you should know what to do," Xu Ran said.
Besides Xiao Yan, Ling Ying was the most important person protecting Xun Er.
Being both from the Gu Clan and her bodyguard, if Ling Ying often spoke ill of Xiao Yan, twisting the image of Xiao Yan in Xun Er's heart, then Xiao Yan would have no chance at all.
"Rest assured, Lord, I'll take care of this matter. Miss Xun Er will definitely not end up with such a loser," Ling Ying replied passionately.
He could see that Xu Ran cared deeply for Miss Xun Er.
Wouldn't having Miss Xun Er together with Lord Xu Ran add another supreme expert to the Gu Clan?
Such an expert was a terrifying existence throughout the Continent! If Miss Xun Er really ended up with Lord Xu Ran, it would be a match made in heaven! As for Xiao Yan, if he wasn't worried about the Miss blaming him, he really wished he could kill Xiao Yan himself.
What qualifications did Xiao Yan have to compete with Lord Xu Ran?
One possessed overwhelming strength, could Xiao Yan even compare?
Let alone appearance, Lord Xu Ran's handsome and distinguished looks were far beyond Xiao Yan's reach!
In Ling Ying's heart, Xu Ran had become a god-like existence.
"Then I'll be going now," Xu Ran nodded and was about to leave to see how Xun Er was doing. Xun Er was very sad now, and naturally, he had to go find her.
"Lord, wait a moment. If it's convenient, may I know Your Excellency's 'Cultivation Level'?" Ling Ying couldn't help but ask, driven by curiosity about the strength of such an expert.
"My 'Cultivation Level'? Dou Di."
Xu Ran answered, leaving Ling Ying standing there, startled and motionless.
