Douluo : Capture the goddess starting from peerless tang sect

If Bei Bei attacked Tang Ya out of a desire to win her back, Xu Sanshi's actions were driven purely by malice.

Upon witnessing Tang Ya's newfound strength, Xu Sanshi became envious. He wanted to uncover the secret behind Tang Ya's power boost, hoping to use it to enhance his own.

After all, Xu Sanshi was a spoiled son of a noble family—not exactly the most honorable character even in the original story.

Moments earlier, Qianran had noticed Xu Sanshi secretly pocketing the Evil Soul Crystal. But if Xu Sanshi dared to try absorbing it without Qianran's guidance, he wouldn't stop him. Without Qianran's power to guard his mind, Xu Sanshi would only end up becoming a true Evil Soul Master!

If Xu Sanshi turned into an Evil Soul Master, Qianran could find an opportunity to justifiably eliminate him.

He was now fully intent on taking Xu Sanshi's life.

"Qianran, you're here?"

Seeing Qianran arrive, Bei Bei's expression turned grim.

He had initially wanted to check if Tang Ya was injured, but it was clear he no longer had that right.

He suddenly realized that his relationship with Tang Ya had likely reached an irreparable state.

What had he done?

Why had he teamed up with Xu Sanshi to attack Xiao Ya?

Now, in Xiao Ya's eyes, Qianran was the hero, while he was the villain.

Before, although Tang Ya had been taken away, they were at least still friends, and things hadn't reached a point beyond recovery. But now, he could feel Tang Ya's attitude toward him had turned to pure disdain.

He had already driven her to hate him.

"Is Xiao Ya okay?" Jiang Nannan rushed over to check on Tang Ya's injuries. She was also deeply disgusted with Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei. She had nearly intervened herself, and was grateful that Qianran had arrived in time.

Moreover, she had seen Xu Sanshi sneak away with the Evil Soul Crystal, deepening her loathing for him. Many of her friends had envied her for Xu Sanshi's pursuit, believing she was blessed without knowing it. Only she knew what kind of person Xu Sanshi truly was.

"Please, take care of her for me."

Qianran entrusted Tang Ya to Jiang Nannan's care, while he turned to seek justice for her.

"You're going to…" Jiang Nannan paused, looking at Qianran with wide eyes.

"My woman has been wronged. I can't just stand by and do nothing," Qianran said coldly.

"Boy, you?"

"Do you really think that beating Bei Bei by sheer luck means you can take us on?"

Xu Sanshi sneered.

He hadn't paid much attention to the details of Bei Bei's defeat.

In his mind, it was probably due to some strict rules—like a bet where Qianran would win if he could withstand three moves from Bei Bei or something like that.

As for Qianran being stronger than Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi didn't believe it.

There was no precedent for such a thing at Shrek Academy. New students were still newcomers—how could they compare to someone with four or five years of training?

"I'm more than enough!"

Qianran stomped heavily on the solid floor, shattering it within three meters around him. Then, in an instant, he leapt forward like a panther, reaching a speed that left everyone in shock.

At that moment, Qianran released his Six-Winged Angel martial soul!

He chose not to use the power of the Holy Light Angel; only pure death energy could allow him to release his pent-up anger.

The pure death energy gathered in his fist, making this strike almost unstoppable.

Unmatched speed, unmatched strength—this sudden burst of power caught everyone off guard.

"He seems even stronger. His martial soul has changed from last time."

Tang Ya, who had been watching Qianran closely, was the first to notice the difference. Qianran's aura now resembled the strength he had shown her after they first stayed at the hotel—one side exuding holy light, the other pure death and evil energy.

Now, Qianran's martial soul was different from the Six-Winged Angel of millennia past.

"So strong."

Xu Sanshi, who had initially looked down on Qianran, gasped, his face turning deathly pale.

Just the speed alone was beyond what any so-called prodigy in the outer courtyard could match!

And as for strength, Xu Sanshi had no doubt that the power in Qianran's fist could easily shatter his body.

Xu Sanshi's second and third soul rings lit up simultaneously.

Second Soul Skill, Mysterious Dark Shield Array!

Third Soul Skill, Power of the Mysterious Dark!

Around Xu Sanshi, a dense cluster of water elements began to gather, vaguely manifesting the shadow of the Black Tortoise Divine Beast. With Power of the Mysterious Dark, Xu Sanshi entered an awakened state, greatly enhancing the potency of his soul skills.

His second soul skill, the Mysterious Dark Shield Array, allowed him to split his martial soul into multiple shields, enabling multi-directional defense.

With both the second and third soul skills activated, Xu Sanshi's defenses were at their peak.

Together with Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi formed the "Twin Stars of the Outer Court" and had earned the title "Eternal Defense"—a reputation well deserved.

In the outer court, no one had ever managed to break through his defenses head-on.

Even Bei Bei, when sparring with him, could barely scratch his turtle shell.

"Eternal Defense?"

"Then let me see just how impressive your so-called Eternal Defense is."

Qianran coldly observed Xu Sanshi's hastily erected defense.

For most people, this was an unbreakable defense—even Tang Ya would likely struggle against Xu Sanshi's Mysterious Dark Shield Array. Before Xu Sanshi's soul power ran out, few could hope to break through from the outside.

But for Qianran, it was no obstacle at all.

One overwhelming force could shatter countless defenses. With sufficient strength, any level of defense could be broken.

"Break!"

Qianran's hand held the power of death and evil, reaching a level that no ordinary Evil Soul Master could achieve.

BAM!

With a single punch, the Mysterious Dark Shield wobbled precariously.

CRACK!

A fracture appeared on the shield, and in the next instant, it shattered into several pieces.

Xu Sanshi coughed up a mouthful of blood, his spirit fading rapidly as his martial soul took severe damage!

"How could this be?"

Xu Sanshi's eyes were filled with terror. He never could have imagined that Qianran's strength would be this overwhelming!

Wasn't Qianran a new student? How could he make Xu Sanshi feel the same pressure as an inner court expert?

Panicking, Xu Sanshi hurriedly summoned the remaining parts of his Black Tortoise Shield to defend himself.

"Is that all 'Eternal Defense' is?"

Qianran struck down again, making Xu Sanshi cough up more blood, his aura weakening further, while another chunk of the Black Tortoise Shield shattered.

Now, Xu Sanshi was truly afraid. If Qianran were to land another punch on him without the shield's protection…

He couldn't bear to imagine it—it would be a devastating scene!
