Chapter 201: Chapter 200: Is This a Support Group for the Suffering?
Besides the issue with Mu Jin, Zhou Yi also informed Qian Ran about an upcoming core disciple selection tournament in the outer courtyard.
Qian Ran knew this was preparation for the upcoming Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament.
Qian Ran, being an extraordinary talent, would undoubtedly be selected to compete in the Star Luo Empire—not as a reserve, but as a core team member.
This was one thing, however, that Qian Ran couldn't help much with.
After finishing a poolside party with the beautiful girls, Qian Ran still felt a lingering excitement.
Back in the classroom, Zhou Yi announced the news.
"It's finally here,"
"My second spirit…"
After waiting so long, Huo Yuhao was finally getting his chance in the Spirit Master Tournament! Because once he reached the tournament, he'd have the opportunity to buy Xue Di at the Star Luo City auction. With the help of the two sect masters from the Clear Sky Sect, he was confident that Xue Di could become his second spirit.
Huo Yuhao's heart was ablaze!
Ever since entering Shrek Academy, he had been suffering for no reason. But finally, it would be his turn to shine.
Right now, he only had one spirit. Though it was a Body Spirit, it didn't stand out much among Shrek Academy's many prodigies. But what if his second spirit was Xue Di? Xue Di was the strongest among the Three Kings of the Extreme North, even more powerful than Bing Di.
If Xue Di became his spirit, Shrek's teachers would have no choice but to revere him, treating him like a treasure.
"Qian Ran, your good days are numbered!"
"What is Bing Di compared to Xue Di? Xue Di is the ultimate ice-type spirit!"
"You may have stolen Bing Di from me back then, but no one will be able to snatch Xue Di from me in front of everyone. Who would guess that the ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast embryo is actually Xue Di?"
Huo Yuhao smiled.
Only he knew this secret. Otherwise, Xue Di's embryo would likely go for tens or even hundreds of billions of gold soul coins at auction.
Whoever bought that sealed embryo would gain one of the strongest spirits in the world!
At the very least, Xue Di's spirit ring and bones would be incredibly precious treasures!
In the end, Xue Di would still belong to him, Huo Yuhao.
In the future, Xue Di could even become his woman.
Xue Di, born from the very essence of heaven and earth, was as rare and exquisite as they come!
In all of Douluo Continent, only Rui Beast and Xue Di were such divine beauties created by nature itself.
"My Xue Di will surpass all others." Huo Yuhao's heart burned with longing, wishing he could possess Xue Di right now. These past few days had been exhausting; fulfilling Zhou Yi's punishments had left him drained, his entire body aching and his legs swollen.
And Qian Ran? Qian Ran was always off flirting with beautiful girls, one moment with Xiao Xiao, another with Zhu Lu, surrounded by such a variety of beauties it was dizzying. To live as Qian Ran did—that was true fulfillment.
If the women around Qian Ran were merely average, he could overlook it; he, too, could attract a fair number of beauties. But the women around Qian Ran were not only stunning but also top-tier talents, each as exceptional as the next.
Qian Ran's days were nothing short of paradise.
With so many beautiful girls around him, showering him with affection, he was practically living like a deity!
And what about himself?
Ever since he arrived at Shrek, he had been punished endlessly by Xian Lin'er and Zhou Yi, enduring both mental and physical suffering.
The more Huo Yuhao thought about it, the more frustrated he felt!
How great would it be if he were Qian Ran? The beautiful women around Qian Ran were all unparalleled in looks, and that lecherous Qian Ran had surely not spared a single one of them. Which meant that every day, Qian Ran…
With the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament approaching, Qian Ran's spirits were high as well.
He had been stuck at Shrek Academy too long, growing bored. Qian Ran wanted to explore, but all his favorite girls still had to attend classes. The chance to go to the Star Luo Empire for the tournament was a perfect opportunity for some official business travel.
Apart from the core team members, the academy would also select seven reserves from the outer courtyard as future contestants for the next Spirit Master Tournament.
"It seems Huo Yuhao has his eyes set on Xue Di."
Qian Ran's gaze narrowed, observing Huo Yuhao's expression carefully.
If Huo Yuhao bought Xue Di at the auction, that would be ideal. Then he could simply take Xue Di from him. With Bing Di by his side, no one would dare to take Xue Di from him.
Qian Ran smiled with a hint of amusement.
He had sworn to claim every opportunity Tang San had left for Huo Yuhao on this continent. Those were the gifts Tang San, his father-in-law, had left for him. With Dong'er already his, how could he let any of those opportunities slip by?
Huo Yuhao could play treasure hunter, and Qian Ran would swoop in at the last moment to take it all.
As the core disciples were led by their teachers into the battle area, Qian Ran saw Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan.
Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan were senior-year prodigies with impressive strength, especially Tang Ya, who would participate in this year's Advanced Spirit Master Tournament as a core team substitute. Nearby, a glum-looking Bei Bei stood with them.
Bei Bei hadn't dared to pick a fight with Qian Ran recently, but he hadn't let go of his grudge.
The memory of being humiliated by Zhang Lexuan and Xian Lin'er still burned, leaving him humiliated beyond words. And worse, Elder Mu didn't believe him.
After snatching Zhang Lexuan away from him, that wretch Qian Ran had even gone after Xian Lin'er.
Those shameless women!
"Qian Ran, over here!"
Seeing Qian Ran, Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan waved happily.
The two stunning senior-year beauties stood there in their school uniforms, fresh and pure, captivating all who saw them.
Every core disciple's gaze turned to Qian Ran, filled with jealousy. There were fewer than thirty core disciples in the outer courtyard, each with potential to enter the inner courtyard in the future.
And Qian Ran had pretty much taken them all.
It could be said that every noteworthy beauty in the outer courtyard was monopolized by Qian Ran alone.
Ning Tian and the other girls also glanced at Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya with amazement, feeling an overwhelming sense of competition.
"You still think I don't have enough rivals?" Qian Ran teased, looking at the two extraordinarily beautiful senior-year students.
"Who told you to charm so many of us? Are you afraid now?" Jiang Nannan chuckled. Qian Ran had practically claimed all the beauties in the outer courtyard; it was no wonder the male students resented him. One or two might be tolerable, but Qian Ran wanted them all to himself!
Those who had their girlfriends stolen by Qian Ran looked at him with intense hatred.
Dai Huabin, Bei Bei, and Huo Yuhao, the main ones who had been wronged, all wished they could see Qian Ran drop dead right now. Watching their beloved girls laugh and talk with Qian Ran each day, even spending nights with him… Just thinking about it was enough to drive any man crazy.
One, two, three, four, five, six…
In one glance, Qian Ran saw so many men who had suffered from his actions!
Bei Bei, Dai Huabin, Huo Yuhao, Fan Yu, Qian Duoduo, Yan Shaozhe…
A strange thought crossed Qian Ran's mind: was this really a selection for the Spirit Master Tournament's reserve team, or a support group for the suffering?
Thankfully, the latter three had no idea. Yan Shaozhe was only half-aware of his misfortune; once he finally won over Cai Mei'er, he'd fully qualify as one of the "wronged."
Even He Caitou could count as a half-member, though when Qian Ran was with Xiao Xiao, she had nothing to do with He Caitou. Even though he'd taken what would've been He Caitou's future wife, He Caitou remained blissfully unaware and greeted Qian Ran warmly whenever he saw him in the lab after Qian Ran's escapades with Xiao Xiao.
