Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

Xu Ran's appearance instantly drew attention.

The Sea Maiden Pillar Guardian suddenly opened her sea-blue eyes, looking at Xu Ran in surprise. There was a naive simplicity on her beautiful face, a smile brimming at the corners of her mouth as she gazed at him.

On Sea God's Island, it was rare to see people from the land.

In the past, when the supreme power from the land, Martial Soul Hall, had suddenly attacked Sea God's Island, they managed to repel the invaders, even though they themselves suffered heavy losses. The strength of the land dwellers was unfathomable; had the strongest group of the Martial Soul Hall come that year, even with the power of the Holy Pillar and the environmental advantage of the sea, they probably would have been defeated.

However, what really startled the Sea Maiden Pillar Guardian was Xu Ran's appearance and bearing.

She had never seen a man as handsome and extraordinary as him on Sea God's Island.

"Strange, why can't I read his mind?" The Sea Witch looked at Xu Ran in surprise, her eyes faintly glowing blue, filled with curiosity.

The Sea Lady Douluo was a princess from the Merfolk Clan.

The Merfolk Clan was different from humans and soul beasts.

Like humans, they could cultivate, but their lifespan was not as long as that of soul beasts; their lives were about five times that of ordinary humans.

The Merfolk Clan, by nature, were half-fish, but the Sea Witch, with her formidable strength, could temporarily transform her fish tail into legs. However, in battle, the Sea Ladies would revert to their mermaid forms, as this allowed them to fully deploy their power.

The Merfolk Clan excelled in mind reading and could discern others' thoughts.

This was also the reason the purple-garbed and yellow-garbed Soul Masters around the Sea Witch were so reserved. They faced a stunningly beautiful and seemingly innocent Sea Witch but dared not entertain any dirty thoughts.

They didn't even dare to think such things, for if they did, and the mind-reading Sea Witch became aware of their thoughts, they would be in trouble.

At this moment, a look of astonishment adorned the Sea Witch's beautifully naive face as she looked at Xu Ran, her large eyes filled with bewilderment.

She could even glimpse some of the thoughts of the Grand Priest Poseissi.

But this man before her was shrouded in utter darkness; she couldn't sense a thing about what he was thinking.

She was baffled by this situation.

Since becoming powerful, it was the first time she had experienced this.

In the past, when her "Cultivation Level" was not high, she would encounter this phenomenon when trying to read the minds of those with great strength. But now she was a Titled Douluo.

"Who is this man? So strange. But he's so handsome. It would be great if he's not a bad guy," the Sea Witch Lorelai blinked her large eyes, looking at Xu Ran, her gaze shifting as she wondered to herself.

Nevertheless, the other purple-garbed and yellow-garbed Soul Masters were angered.

On Sea God's Island, everyone wore proper attire, so Xu Ran, with his exotic dress, naturally caught their attention.

They remembered the invaders of Sea God's Island from those years past, who were dressed similarly.

"Who are you?"

"Are you a land Soul Master?"

"A land Soul Master dares to trespass on Sea God's Island?"

"The Holy Pillar is not a place you can come to!"

Several young people glared at Xu Ran, Unleashing Martial Soul, ready for action.

They harbored great hostility towards land Soul Masters.

Especially since Xu Ran had made his way to the Pillar Guardian, they immediately became more solemn.

The Pillar Guardian was considered a sacred place on Sea God's Island; here lay some of Sea God's belongings, and it was the only Holy Land the residents of Sea God's Island could hope to come into contact with once in their lives.

When participating in the Sea God's trials, they would come here to the Pillar Guardian, where they would be granted the Light of the Sea God to start the test.

As for the area protected by the Grand Priest Poseissi of Sea God's Island, ordinary people could not hope to see it even once in their lifetime.

"So what if I've come?"

Xu Ran said indifferently, standing with his hands behind his back, as he looked at the Sea Witch.

Among the seven great Pillar Douluos who were guardians, the only one he had some impression of was the Sea Witch.

Innocence and naiveté, these were the traits of the Sea Witch in the original story.

The Sea Witch appeared to be over ninety years old, but since the lifespan of the Merfolk Clan was five times that of humans, the Sea Witch's age, when converted to human terms, was only equivalent to that of a human girl of about nineteen, not old at all.

Xu Ran touched his nose, thinking that he had quite a bit to take back with him this time.

Purple Pearl, little white, Bai Xiuxiu, Lan Nuer, Blue Buddha Child, Poseissi, and if the Sea Witch were to be added... If he were to bring them all back together, it would probably scare them to death.

"Hmph. Kid, you must be unaware of the rules of Sea God's Island."

"This place is not open to just anyone to trespass."

"Trespassing on Sea God's Island, entering the Holy Pillar Sanctuary without permission, you deserve to die!"

A Purple Cloth Soul Douluo said. The other three Yellow Cloth Soul Emperors also looked at Xu Ran coldly.

The Sea Witch, meanwhile, looked at Xu Ran with great interest, wanting to see how he would defuse this crisis. If he couldn't even get past this, then he didn't deserve a second glance from her.

"Do you think you have the capability to kill me?" Xu Ran's eyes swept over them dismissively.

To him now, such strength wasn't even worth considering as ants.

He could easily extinguish them with just the flick of a finger.

Xu Ran's power had already reached the God Rank. The power of a God Rank and that of a Soul Master were not even on the same scale.

"Kid, you're courting death."

"Let's attack together, the audacity of mocking us like this, you shall die!"

"Our Sea God's Island is not a place that just anyone can offend!"

Saying this, a Soul Douluo and three Soul Emperors surrounded Xu Ran, their presence imposing. A Soul Douluo, whether on land or at sea, was considered powerful.

Apart from the High Priest and the seven Pillar Guardians, the Purple-Garbed Soul Masters held the highest status.

Purple-Garbed Soul Masters, though not as high in status as Pillar Guardians, were still given a measure of respect by them. Suddenly being looked down upon by Xu Ran, a land-based Soul Master, they were immediately furious.

The Martial Soul of the Purple Cloth Soul Douluo was a Sea Lion, also considered a powerful soul beast in the sea.

"Die!" the Purple Cloth powerhouse roared in rage, showing no intention of holding back in his attack.

A land-based Soul Master who trespassed here without the recognition of Sea God's Island was fair game to be killed at will.

In Xu Ran's eyes appeared an enormous Sea Lion roaring, its massive paw equipped with sharp claws.

"Scram."

Xu Ran was disdainful; what was a Soul Douluo in his eyes?

Xu Ran lifted his leg and kicked hard against the purple-clad powerhouse, who was then sent flying away by the kick, vanishing into the distance.

Immediately following, Xu Ran's right leg swept out, and the other three Soul Emperors were sent flying as well.

In the sky, only the sounds of agonizing screams could be heard.

The three powerhouses weren't considered weak on Sea God's Island. Especially the Purple Cloth powerhouse, who was only slightly weaker than the Red Cloth Poseissi and the Black Cloth Sacred Pillar Douluo.

Yet, such powerhouses were kicked away by Xu Ran.

Indeed, kicked away.

Their figures were nowhere to be seen, likely launched thousands of meters away.

Seeing this scene, the Sea Witch's smiling face turned serious, her mouth slightly agape, she stared at Xu Ran as if looking at a monster.
