Xu Ran had an aura that transcended the Nine Heavens. Killing, destruction, evil … all sorts of auras were unleashed from Xu Ran's body.
Sonic booms could be heard as Xu Ran and the Golden Alligator Douluo's energies clashed in the air. The power that was unleashed in that instant stunned many of the Martial Spirit Hall's elders.
They didn't expect Xu Ran to be so strong.
Previously, they had received information that Xu Ran's cultivation wasn't very high. Although he was strong, he wasn't a threat to them.
However, it seemed like everything had exceeded their expectations …
"Could there be a reversal?" Some of the bolder elders guessed.
"No, look at Xu Ran's soul rings. They're so scary.
They're all hundred-thousand-year soul rings. "
Seven bright red hundred thousand year soul rings appeared on Xu Ran's body, and all of the elders in the hall were stunned when they saw this.
Even the Golden Alligator Douluo was stunned.
How rare was a hundred-thousand-year soul ring?
Although there were many Titled Douluo in the Martial Spirit Hall, there were very few who had a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
Even he, as the second elder of the Martial Spirit Hall, only had one hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
The Golden Alligator Douluo looked at Xu Ran in a daze and muttered, "They're all hundred-thousand-year soul rings. Interesting."
Many thoughts flashed through his mind. For Xu Ran to have so many hundred-thousand-year soul rings, he might be an inheritor of God.
Only God had such great power.
Although Xu Ran didn't have God's inheritance, his system was much more powerful than God's.
"However, even if you have all hundred-thousand-year soul rings, you're only a Soul Sage. You can't do anything to me," the Golden Alligator Douluo said slowly.
He was a little surprised when he sensed Xu Ran's majestic aura. Fortunately, Xu Ran wasn't a Soul Douluo.
Given Xu Ran's talent, he would be in trouble if he became a Soul Douluo.
After all, he was a Soul Sage.
He didn't believe that a Soul Sage could compare to him. There was a huge gap between a Soul Sage and a Rank 98 Titled Douluo. It wasn't something that could be increased with talent.
"As you wish." Xu Ran smiled and lifted his sword. He was extremely quick, like a phantom.
Even an ordinary Titled Douluo could only see a black afterimage.
The Golden Alligator Douluo didn't back down either. Golden light enveloped his body as he fought Xu Ran.
Two streaks of black and gold light flashed across the hall.
Everyone in the main hall was focused, their eyes shining brightly.
A battle of this intensity was rarely seen under normal circumstances.
Observing this kind of battle was also quite beneficial for them.
"Hiss." A moment later, the Golden Alligator Douluo stopped as he clutched his shoulder.
Blood gushed out from his left shoulder. He used his right hand to touch the wound on his left shoulder. With a flash of golden light, the blood stopped flowing.
"Elder Golden Crocodile, thank you for letting me win." Xu Ran cupped his fists and bowed slightly.
The Golden Alligator Douluo was loyal to the Martial Spirit Hall and the Qian Renxue Douluo. During the battle between Bibi Dong and Tang San, he even sacrificed himself to protect the Qian Renxue.
"It seems like I'm really getting old. The future belongs to you youngsters." The Golden Alligator Douluo still had a look of disbelief on his face.
He was actually unable to defeat Xu Ran.
Earlier, he had been suppressed by Xu Ran. Furthermore, he could sense that Xu Ran could defeat him even faster. He only fought a little longer to preserve his dignity.
Otherwise, he would have lost all his face as the Second Elder of the Martial Spirit Hall.
His intuition had always been very accurate. This was why he found it unbelievable.
Xu Ran was only a Soul Sage. Even though he had seven hundred thousand year soul rings, he shouldn't have been able to give him such a strong sense of oppression.
Fighting Xu Ran made him feel that it was more difficult than fighting the Thousand Dao Stream.
Was Xu Ran stronger than the Grand Elder?
"Golden Alligator Douluo, you're too kind. I was just lucky." Xu Ran was neither arrogant nor rash.
The Golden Alligator Douluo nodded and didn't say anything else.
He couldn't help but praise Xu Ran for his lack of arrogance.
Xu Ran was so young, but he had already reached a level that others couldn't reach in their lifetime.
If it were other youngsters, they would have been arrogant and conceited.
Even the Golden Alligator Douluo was arrogant back then.
However, he couldn't find any frivolity or arrogance in Xu Ran.
Even though Xu Ran wasn't arrogant, he had a proud and unyielding character. People couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
