Douluo : Capture the goddess starting from peerless tang sect

"It's time to end this."

Qian Ran's hand turned a crystalline jade color as he grabbed Chen Zifeng's Pursuing Soul Sword. The extreme cold of Ultimate Ice surged through the blade and into Chen Zifeng's body.

His soul power froze almost instantly, its flow slowing to a crawl. His body, likewise, was quickly paralyzed by the intense cold.

The overwhelming combat strength Chen Zifeng had displayed moments ago shattered under Qian Ran's touch, his fighting spirit crushed entirely.

With the Ice Emperor's Pincer augmenting his hands, Qian Ran struck Chen Zifeng squarely on the back.

The impact sent Chen Zifeng flying, blood spraying from his mouth before he collapsed to the ground, grievously wounded.

Elder Xuan descended swiftly to catch him, his expression serious.

Seeing Chen Zifeng's swift defeat, Dai Yueheng fell silent.

The other Inner Court disciples could only gape in shock.

The fight had ended so quickly, so decisively. Chen Zifeng hadn't even had a chance to unleash his more powerful soul skills before being completely overpowered.

It wasn't just a loss—it was a demonstration of how vast the gap was between their abilities.

The strength of an Ultimate Martial Soul was overwhelming.

And this was just one of Qian Ran's twin martial souls.

If his other martial soul, the Angel martial soul, was equally powerful, how could anyone hope to challenge him?

In a one-on-one duel, Chen Zifeng was completely outclassed. In team battles, he would fare even worse.

The wide-reaching effect of Qian Ran's Domain of Eternal Frost was enough to render entire teams significantly weaker, while his allies would be much less affected. Someone like Ling Luochen, with her ability to harness the domain's ice elements, would even become stronger.

In such conditions, who could stand against them?

At this moment, no one dared to question Qian Ran's strength.

If he wasn't qualified to represent Shrek Academy, then no one was.

Dai Yueheng sighed.

"It's not my place to intervene. If Dai Huabin couldn't keep Zhu Lu, that's his failure, not mine."

He shook his head, abandoning any thoughts of challenging Qian Ran further.

The upcoming tournament would take place in Star Luo City, the capital of their homeland. Dai Yueheng knew the family would likely have their own plans to address the matter.

If the family chose to let the issue slide, then there was no reason for him to concern himself further.

In truth, Dai Huabin's loss of Zhu Lu had indirectly benefitted him by solidifying his position as the White Tiger Duke's successor.

"Our Ice Princess has her eye on him?"

Ma Xiaotao sidled up to Ling Luochen with a teasing grin.

Ling Luochen's gaze had been fixed on Qian Ran for some time, and her unusual interest hadn't escaped Ma Xiaotao's notice.

For someone like Ling Luochen, who rarely showed interest in anyone, this was significant.

"When a girl who's indifferent to everyone starts paying attention to a boy, it's usually because her heart has stirred."

Ma Xiaotao knew this well, though a faint bitterness tinged her thoughts.

"What are you talking about?"

A faint blush spread across Ling Luochen's porcelain cheeks, but she quickly composed herself.

"Do you know him?" she asked after a moment, her voice cool but curious.

Ling Luochen wasn't entirely disconnected from the outside world, but she spent most of her time in the Inner Court, away from external affairs.

If there was an Ultimate Ice soul master in the Outer Court, she should have heard of it.

"We're pretty close," Ma Xiaotao replied casually.

"He usually fights using his first martial soul, so not many people know about his second. Today was probably the first time he's shown it."

Even as she explained, Ma Xiaotao couldn't help feeling envious.

Both of Qian Ran's martial souls were far superior to her own Evil Fire Phoenix.

"He's a twin martial soul user?" Ling Luochen's lips parted in surprise.

"Yep. You'll see his first martial soul eventually. Honestly, it's not any weaker than his Ultimate Ice martial soul," Ma Xiaotao admitted with a sigh.

She wasn't sure which of Qian Ran's martial souls was stronger.

Ultimate Martial Souls were rare and incredibly powerful, but something about his Angel martial soul felt even more formidable.

Unlike the pure elemental nature of his Ice martial soul, the Angel martial soul commanded both light and darkness, giving it unparalleled combat potential.

As the Domain of Eternal Frost dissipated, the temperature gradually rose, and the oppressive chill receded.

Meanwhile, Tang Ya's fight with Yao Haoxuan reached its conclusion. Her Dark Blue Silver Grass pierced through Yao Haoxuan's limbs, leaving him unable to continue.

The sight stunned the spectators, reshaping their perception of the Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

"Well?" Elder Xuan asked, his gaze sweeping over the Inner Court students. "Do you still have any objections about Qian Ran and Tang Ya representing Shrek Academy?"

Dai Yueheng was the first to speak.

"No objections. Their strength speaks for itself."

Though he kept his tone calm, his face betrayed his embarrassment. He had doubted their qualifications, but their performances had been nothing short of extraordinary.

The notion of a Soul Elder defeating a Soul King with ease defied conventional wisdom. Qian Ran's abilities had redefined what it meant to be a prodigy.

"Good. You all need to familiarize yourselves with each other's abilities. I'll take these two to the medical center," Elder Xuan said, gesturing to the defeated Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan.

"Xiaotao, you'll handle training for the rest."

"How did you do it? Becoming Ultimate Ice?" Ma Xiaotao asked curiously, nudging Qian Ran with her elbow.

She was sure that the last time they met, Qian Ran hadn't yet achieved this transformation.

"Secret."

"But speaking of secrets, weren't you supposed to get me that thing I asked for last time?"

Qian Ran's lips curled into a playful smile as he looked at Ma Xiaotao.

Despite her school uniform, Ma Xiaotao's figure was impossible to ignore, exuding a fiery allure.

While Qian Ran did have a way to help her evolve into Ultimate Fire, he saw no reason to offer his help freely—especially since she wasn't his woman.
