Douluo : Capture the goddess starting from peerless tang sect

It would be best to have Zhou Yi remind him about it. Shrek Academy might not be that strict, but if a whole class ended up with seven or eight girls expecting, it would inevitably make waves.

Elder Xuan stared at Qian Ran in shock, having just realized that almost all of these young women were intimately involved with him. This made his test seem a bit biased in hindsight. Still, it wasn't a huge issue, as these girls possessed outstanding talent and were on par with any of the eliminated students.

With the addition of soul tools, Jiang Nannan's strength had nearly reached Soul King level.

Even on pure skill alone, their combat power was formidable. Without Qian Ran's interference, Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, and He Caitou likely wouldn't have been eliminated.

At that moment, Qian Ran seemed to remember something.

"Dean Yan Shaozhe, could I ask a favor?" Qian Ran's eyes gleamed with an idea. The Dark Devilgod Tiger cub given to him by the system had been growing rapidly on a diet of powerful soul beasts' meat, already reaching a ten-year cultivation level and growing noticeably in size.

At this rate, Qian Ran knew he wouldn't be able to sustain its diet much longer.

Shrek Academy's Beast Arena seemed like the perfect place to keep it, with an ample supply of soul beasts to support Little Black's growth.

"If it gets hungry, it can just snack on some of the beasts in the arena."

"What's the matter?"

Everyone turned to Qian Ran, curious. What could he possibly need from Yan Shaozhe? Even Elder Xuan's curiosity was piqued.

"I have a pet soul beast—could I keep it at the academy?" Qian Ran smiled. Zhou Yi recalled the little black tiger that Zhu Lu had carried before. She hadn't thought much of it at the time, assuming it was an ordinary soul beast.

"You want to keep it in the Beast Arena?"

"What kind of soul beast is it? What's its age?"

Yan Shaozhe's interest was piqued. Qian Ran often had unique things.

His disciple Ma Xiaotao, for instance, possessed a cluster of sentient Phoenix Divine Fire that Qian Ran had provided.

And if Qian Ran was offering a pet, it likely wouldn't be ordinary either.

"It's a ten-year-old black tiger." Qian Ran smiled. Naturally, he wasn't going to reveal it was a Dark Devilgod Tiger. Though the species was considered extinct, Shrek Academy had records of it. Known as a beast despised and feared by both soul masters and soul beasts alike, it had quite the reputation.

"No problem." Yan Shaozhe agreed without hesitation. For a talent like Qian Ran, allowing him to keep a ten-year-old soul beast was no big deal.

"And its food? It might eat a bit more than expected."

"How much can a ten-year-old soul beast eat? Don't worry about it." Yan Shaozhe chuckled. He wasn't about to be stingy over this.

He had expected Qian Ran to bring out some other rare treasure, only to find it was just a ten-year-old cub.

"And where's this soul beast now?" Elder Xuan had a feeling there was more to this than met the eye.

"I asked Ya Ya to fetch it from my place."

"Here she comes."

Tang Ya approached, followed by a staggering little soul beast. Though still a cub, it was over a meter long, resembling a large black cat as it wobbled cutely behind her.

Due to its bond with Qian Ran, Little Black was close to those around him, and even Wang Dong'er and the other girls adored it.

Seeing the soul beast behind Tang Ya, Elder Xuan's eyes changed from mere curiosity to intense interest. His experienced gaze took in all of Little Black's features at a glance.

In a flash, Elder Xuan was in front of it, lifting the cub.

Little Black, startled, flashed its eyes and snapped at Elder Xuan's arm with impressive force.

"This bite force surpasses that of typical hundred-year soul beasts, doesn't it?"

Elder Xuan was stunned. This was only a ten-year-old soul beast, yet its aura was on par with a hundred-year-old soul beast.

Yan Shaozhe, observing Little Black's gradually forming Evil God Hook, was equally alarmed.

"This is the black tiger you mentioned?" Yan Shaozhe's mouth twitched. Could this be the legendary Dark Devilgod Tiger? Supposedly extinct, this soul beast was mentioned only in ancient records, primarily in the records of Spirit Hall. No sightings had been recorded in thousands of years.

Rumor had it this beast was ruthless and bloodthirsty, capable of devouring the cultivation of soul masters and soul beasts to grow stronger. Wherever it appeared, it was relentlessly hunted by other soul beasts.

This rarity was precisely why Dark Devilgod Tigers were so few in number.

Without a doubt, this was a top-tier soul beast!

Shrek Academy held some secret records left behind by the original Shrek Seven Devils. It was said that Tang San had once nearly died at the hands of a Dark Devilgod Tiger with a mere 60,000 years of cultivation.

"Dark Devilgod Tiger!"

Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe looked deeply at Qian Ran, realizing they understood less and less about him.

How could he keep such a top-tier soul beast as a pet? This beast was even rarer than the Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear.

To indulge in the company of the most beautiful women and keep the most vicious beasts—how did Qian Ran end up with all the good fortune?

"Qian Ran, rest assured, we'll take good care of this soul beast for you," Elder Xuan finally said, a faint smile breaking his usual stoic expression. This was an opportunity for the Martial Soul Department to observe a top-tier soul beast up close.

"Wait. Is this soul beast really that powerful?"

Mu Jin looked at the cub curiously and poked Qian Ran's chest, eager to know more.

With her cultivation, she could sense that this soul beast was no ordinary creature, but she couldn't fathom why it would command such respect from Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe.

"This is a Dark Devilgod Tiger."

"A 60,000-year-old Dark Devilgod Tiger once nearly killed Tang Sect's ancestor, Tang San, who was already a Title Douluo at the time. According to him, he only defeated the beast by sheer luck. Otherwise…"

Elder Xuan trailed off, his face somber.

The records indicated that the closest Tang San had come to death was not from Spirit Hall's hunts, nor from gods like Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, but from that 60,000-year-old Dark Devilgod Tiger.

"Gasp!"

Everyone present took a sharp breath!

None were unfamiliar with the name Tang San—the Sea God, Asura God, the hero who had turned the tide in the great war thousands of years ago.

Could this beast really be that terrifying?

Could a Dark Devilgod Tiger reach Super Douluo level at only 60,000 years?

There was little information available, and records about Dark Devilgod Tigers were sparse.

Only Qian Ran knew that the Dark Devilgod Tiger's most terrifying ability was its unique skill to revert enemies to their juvenile state. Even a Super Douluo struck by this technique would revert to age six and be helpless.

Such a formidable beast—how did Qian Ran come to possess it?

Zhou Yi and Tang Ya were both stunned. They'd known Little Black's bloodline was extraordinary, but hadn't realized just how powerful it truly was.

Only someone like Qian Ran could have access to a fearsome beast of this caliber.

Just how many incredible items had Qian Ran revealed lately? They couldn't help but wonder if he hailed from the fabled Divine Realm. How else could he possess so many valuable treasures?

"Heh. Qian Ran, I'd like to take this little guy to the Beast Arena for a few days of observation," Elder Xuan said, picking up Little Black and preparing to leave.

"I'll be off, too." Seeing Elder Xuan leave, Yan Shaozhe swiftly followed suit.

For soul masters who could go decades without advancing a single rank, the chance to study such an exceptionally rare and powerful beast was an irresistible draw.

Moreover, this wasn't just any soul beast. Among fierce beasts, the Dark Devilgod Tiger was the stuff of legend.
