Douluo : Capture the goddess starting from peerless tang sect

"No, it's impossible! What did you do to me? How could I lose to you?" White Wolf's eyes were red with rage. He hadn't even touched Qian Ran, yet he had already lost. How was that possible? Why did his head hurt so much?

"A loss is a loss. Don't tell me you can't handle it? This is my self-created soul skill. I haven't given it a name yet," Qian Ran said calmly.

In his previous life, Qian Ran had read many fantasy novels. Based on the descriptions he remembered, he created a simple mental attack using his spiritual power.

With the mental strength of a Titled Douluo as his foundation, it wasn't difficult for Qian Ran. This could be considered a rather crude self-created soul skill.

A self-created soul skill!

Hearing those four words, most people didn't understand, but the talented students who did were stunned.

Qian Ran had just enrolled, and he could already create a soul skill? What kind of prodigy was this?

This was something even Titled Douluo-level experts couldn't always achieve. It required not only talent but also a considerable amount of luck and opportunities. Those capable of creating powerful soul skills were undoubtedly the top experts in the world.

And Qian Ran was just a newly enrolled first-year student in the same class.

Everyone was a freshman; how could he be so extraordinary?

White Wolf was equally shocked. Given his family background, he understood the significance of a self-created soul skill. Losing to a prodigy who could create his own soul skill seemed almost reasonable.

Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and other classmates who understood the implications of a self-created soul skill couldn't help but glance at Qian Ran with admiration and awe.

He was simply too strong.

A level-29 Great Soul Master, someone who should at least be in the top ten among the freshmen.

But such a genius had fallen without even touching Qian Ran.

No wonder Teacher Zhou Yi took such a special interest in him on the first day. Now they understood why her gaze softened whenever she looked at Qian Ran.

Everyone in Class 1 memorized Qian Ran's face at that moment.

They were beginning to feel some fear. Could all their classmates be this terrifying? Wouldn't their assessment in three months be hopeless?

"What are you all waiting for? Go run! If you don't complete the task, prepare to be expelled," Zhou Yi said sternly, not wanting this incident to continue.

Hearing her imposing words, no one dared to argue further, and they quickly ran out. Even Wang Dong'er wasn't exempt.

White Wolf lay on the floor, and Zhou Yi called someone to take him away.

"Was that truly your self-created soul skill just now? And it was a mental attribute soul skill, wasn't it?" Zhou Yi was still a bit incredulous. In her eyes, self-created soul skills were a high-tier ability.

To have a self-created soul skill at such a young age was remarkable.

Qian Ran's abilities had gained recognition among the first-year students, and most of the girls in the class had taken a liking to him.

"Is your martial soul really the Six-Winged Angel?" Even though the inner court dean had confirmed it, she still found it hard to believe. This legendary martial soul still existed.

"Yes," Qian Ran nodded coolly.

Zhou Yi wanted to ask about Qian Ran's connection to Spirit Hall, but she chose not to pursue it.

It had been ten thousand years, and even the academy's leadership treated Qian Ran purely as an extraordinary talent. The grudges of the past couldn't be stretched across millennia. If they did, every family and faction on the continent would be entangled in vendettas.

Today's martial world needed the return of the Six-Winged Angel.

"Since you can use self-created soul skills, your spiritual power must be quite high. You might consider joining the Soul Tool Department. But no, joining the Soul Tool Department would waste your martial soul talent, wouldn't it?" Zhou Yi muttered to herself as they walked.

Her husband, Fan Yu, was one of Shrek Academy's few level-eight soul engineers, and she often helped him scout talent suited for soul tool research.

Qian Ran's ability to perform mental attacks proved he had strong spiritual power, which was ideal for the brain-intensive field of soul tools.

But with the Six-Winged Angel as his martial soul and the ability to create soul skills, joining the Martial Soul Department was the best fit for him.

Regardless, Qian Ran was almost certainly a future core disciple of the academy, not only in the outer court but also in the inner court.

If Qian Ran wanted, even the elders in the Sea God Pavilion would likely wish to take him as an apprentice.

Of course, Qian Ran already had a great mentor in Qian Renxue. Few could teach him more now, and he wasn't interested in taking any master. Even an Ultimate Douluo wouldn't persuade him—unless it was a beautiful woman, in which case he might consider it, especially with a rebellious student's mindset.

"Come, let's head to the testing area to check your physical data. The equipment there is more precise." Zhou Yi grabbed Qian Ran's hand and led him to a large building. The teaching building they'd just left was already impressive, but it was dwarfed by this huge gray rectangular structure. Its total area was comparable to the Martial Soul Department's main building.

The gray structure looked incredibly solid, not just built from stone but with a metallic sheen in several areas. Inside, there was a constant low rumbling sound that caused a slight vibration under Qian Ran's feet.

A sign nearby informed him of the building's purpose: the Soul Tool Area.

Typically, Shrek Academy wouldn't give this level of attention to an ordinary prodigy. In decades, Qian Ran was the first freshman to be brought in for detailed soul master data testing.

"Fan Yu," Zhou Yi called out, attracting the attention of a group of people working nearby.

One tall, broad-shouldered man turned and walked toward them.

The middle-aged man, about 1.8 meters tall, had a strong build and wore simple clothes.

"Zhou Yi, what are you doing here?" Clearly, this man was Fan Yu, the level-eight soul engineer whom Shrek Academy held in high regard.

"I came to use your equipment to test one of my students," Zhou Yi replied with a smile.

She was in an exceptionally good mood; their class had a few promising students this year, especially this guy—he was on another level.

"What's there to test on a freshman?" Fan Yu asked, slightly disinterested. He could sense that Qian Ran was only at the Great Soul Master rank.

"His spiritual power is remarkable. Without even releasing his martial soul, he defeated a Soul Elder using mental attacks," Zhou Yi replied with a grin, knowing that Qian Ran was about to surprise Fan Yu.

"Follow me." Fan Yu led Qian Ran and Zhou Yi into a room filled with various soul tools for testing soul power, spiritual power, and physical strength.

While Shrek Academy's soul tools weren't as advanced as those of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, they served basic functions.

Fan Yu had Qian Ran stand on a platform, where basic data appeared on a screen.

"Bone age: twelve; height: 1.78 meters; weight: 60 kilograms; soul power: level 24; physical strength: level 48; physical resilience: level 51; soul bones: none..."

The machine's voice output each result, leaving Fan Yu in shock.

Even Zhou Yi, who had been mentally prepared, couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
