Douluo : Capture the goddess starting from peerless tang sect

"So you actually remember you have a homeroom teacher."

Zhou Yi rolled her eyes at Qian Ran.

While he'd been away, her own stress levels had been through the roof. Not only did the Martial Soul Department hold him in high regard, but even the Soul Tool Department highly valued him. If anything had happened to Qian Ran, she'd have a hard time explaining it to the academy's higher-ups.

Seeing Qian Ran safe and sound allowed her to finally relax.

This little troublemaker truly didn't give anyone peace of mind.

"Didn't I come straight here to report to you as soon as I got back?" Qian Ran said with a sheepish smile. He'd intended to check in the previous day, but Wang Dong'er's playful spirit had kept him so thoroughly entertained that he'd lost track of time.

Though he didn't care for Tang San, he had to admit, the genetic combination between Xiao Wu and Tang San had produced quite the beauty.

Dong'er was simply a treasure trove of delight.

In this world, beautiful girls seemed to have an unusual connection with white tigers.

"Judging by that smug look, I assume you got a decent spirit ring? You were gone for so long—if you didn't bring back something impressive, I wouldn't let you off so easily." Qian Ran was one of the brightest talents Shrek Academy had seen in a hundred, even a thousand years.

Aside from the original Tang San, Zhou Yi considered Qian Ran to be the academy's strongest talent.

And even then, Tang San hadn't reached Qian Ran's level at his age.

Zhou Yi naturally cared about such a talent.

"I got a group healing soul skill," Qian Ran shrugged. He instinctively chose to hide his monstrous Resurrection skill, which practically defied the laws of both Douluo Continent and the Divine Realm.

After all, he had no mastery over the principles of life and death, yet he could resurrect any creature weaker than himself using this skill.

Though Grand Resurrection had its restrictions, those didn't matter much.

And as he grew stronger, these restrictions would likely lessen.

"Healing soul skill?"

Zhou Yi gaped at him in shock.

Could his angelic martial soul really attach a healing soul skill?

"Would you try using it on me?" Zhou Yi asked, intrigued. Qian Ran wasn't the type to attach random soul rings. This healing soul skill had to be more than it seemed. Zhou Yi knew she couldn't view this genius in ordinary terms.

Hearing this, Qian Ran released his martial soul.

Brilliant golden light poured down from his six-winged angel form, and Zhou Yi felt her energy surge, a soothing comfort washing over her.

Her fatigue, due to her monthly cycle, vanished instantly, and the dull ache in her abdomen disappeared as well.

"Amazing."

Zhou Yi made a small cut on her arm, but it healed instantly, without leaving even a scar.

"What a powerful soul skill. Can you use it on yourself?" Zhou Yi was astonished.

She felt the skill was far more potent than what she had experienced so far, though she didn't plan to experiment further on herself.

"Of course."

Qian Ran nodded. When used on himself, the effect was even better.

As long as he wasn't defeated instantly, he'd have incredible resilience—practically invincible.

Though only a few monstrous figures in this world could push him to that point.

Zhou Yi asked a few more questions before fully relaxing.

"All right, go find your master. She's been even more anxious than I have about you. She's practically checked in with me every day." Zhou Yi couldn't understand why Xian Lin'er cared so much about Qian Ran; it wasn't typical for a mentor to be this involved. Especially since Xian Lin'er was a powerful cultivator herself, with her own training needs.

Of course, Zhou Yi didn't think it was anything romantic.

No matter how impressive Qian Ran was, he couldn't have that kind of relationship with Xian Lin'er.

Xian Lin'er was a renowned figure at Shrek Academy; she'd never fall for a student.

"All right, Teacher Zhou Yi, I'll be on my way."

Qian Ran said goodbye, reluctantly leaving.

Zhou Yi's allure had left him feeling a bit stirred.

In terms of beauty, Zhou Yi was attractive, though not as stunning as Xian Lin'er. Moreover, she wasn't even considered a "goddess" by the system, so she didn't yield any rewards.

Still, her formal teacher's attire—a pencil skirt and black stockings, along with the stern expression most teachers wore—created a certain allure for him.

In his previous life, what student hadn't secretly admired a pretty teacher? It was part of growing up. But in the world of the Blue Planet, there was respect and discipline; he'd never dare step out of line. This world, however, was different. Here, strength was the ultimate rule.

The same school rules that ignored fights involving Beibei would result in punishment if someone else caused trouble.

All those things he'd been too afraid to try before… this power-driven world made him want to fulfill every unacted fantasy from his past life.

Qian Ran wanted to rebel against his teachers.

That desire for conquest was why he felt so drawn to Xian Lin'er.

Nothing would be more satisfying than having these mentors, who usually wielded authority, yield to him, or even let him play out their roles as obedient students.

Xian Lin'er was a teacher, and Zhou Yi was his homeroom teacher.

Back in high school, he'd had a strict homeroom teacher, and his grades had suffered as a result.

Just as he stepped outside, a red flash surged toward him. Even with his acute mental detection, he couldn't dodge in time, and suddenly, he was enveloped in scorching warmth.

"Well, well."

The heat source seemed to be Ma Xiaotao.

He'd heard from Tang Ya that Ma Xiaotao had been away on a Shrek monitoring mission. In Shrek Academy, every inner court disciple was part of the Shrek Monitoring Group, and each one had to complete thirty missions to graduate.

When Ma Xiaotao returned to her training, she'd barely managed to contain herself before learning that Qian Ran had gone to acquire a spirit ring.

Barely able to hold back, she'd even ventured into Star Dou Forest, hoping to find him.

Naturally, she hadn't found Qian Ran—he'd been in the far-off Extreme North. Ma Xiaotao had ended up waiting, her patience stretched thin, for an entire month.

With Tang Ya as her junior apprentice now, and both of them being Yan Shaozhe's disciples, she'd quickly learned from Tang Ya that Qian Ran was back and had rushed over immediately.

Ma Xiaotao, at around twenty years old, was in the prime of her life, and her natural beauty, with her flushed cheeks, made her look even more vibrant and alluring.

She threw herself at Qian Ran, sighing breathily, "Junior Qian Ran, I can't take it anymore. Please, help me!"

Red light shimmered as Ma Xiaotao lunged at him.
