Chapter 545 My Opponent is the Entire Divine Realm_1

The next day, Bi Bidong's head was still foggy as she blushed and her ears turned red thinking about what she had seen the night before.

Liu Erlong's techniques were very skillful; forced to watch all night, it had opened a new world for her. The act of clenching her legs tightly was especially adept, it was heartbreakingly proficient.

Early in the morning, Xu Ran went to the viewing area to watch Xiaowu and her team's match, which, with their strength, was a cinch. The only suspenseful part was the contest between the Tian Shui Battle Team and the Shrek squad.

Xiaowu was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast that had transformed under Xu Ran's help; her strength had long far surpassed that of her peers who were soul masters. Shui Bing'er and Xue'er's Fusion Ability with the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul was equally terrifying, and they were bound to have a tough fight ahead.

It was then that these talented young ladies' true strength would be fully revealed to the world. At that time, the whole Continent would be shaken.

Although Xu Ran was immensely talented and had a distinguished reputation throughout the Continent, in reality, he had never exposed his true strength in any place that brought fame. Despite the countless stories about him, a good number of people just took them as stories.

After all, Xu Ran's strength was too otherworldly and surpassed their imaginations. Unless Xu Ran displayed his strength publicly, it would be impossible to convince them.

It was understandable to be a bit powerful, but for someone as young as Xu Ran to break through to Soul Sage and even slay a god at that level... It did sound quite absurd, so much so that even Xu Ran found it somewhat unreal.

However, he wouldn't be complacent; this bit of strength was nothing in front of the truly powerful.

In the Divine Realm, there were the Five Great Supreme Gods, numerous main gods, Second-Level Gods, Third-tier Gods...

Apart from the Five Great Supreme Gods, Xu Ran didn't regard the strength of other gods highly, but their sheer number was still rather troublesome.

Having slain the Rakshasa God, Gu Yuena's identity compromised, it wouldn't be long before the Divine Realm concocted a plan to punish them. His time was running short; once the Divine Realm intervened, a deadly battle would ensue.

Despite seeming to have done nothing but tease Bi Bidong lately, Xu Ran was actually incredibly anxious. However, he knew cultivating to increase his strength was too slow; he needed to complete System missions to grow stronger.

Impatience couldn't solve this process.

"Sigh," Xu Ran looked up at the azure sky, suddenly feeling the weight of pressure multiplying. He wouldn't let anyone take Gu Yuena away from him. His woman, no one could take her away.

Even if his current strength wasn't great, he would fight with all his might.

Bi Bidong, pushing her wheelchair, followed behind and noted Xu Ran's sullen look, her heart suddenly aching.

The Xu Ran she had always seen was frivolous, seemingly always enjoying teasing her. She had never seen this side of Xu Ran before—lonely, profound, almost like an enigma, unfathomable.

In an instant, witnessing Xu Ran like this made her somewhat lost in thought.

It was as if, in a moment, Xu Ran exuded an ungraspable charisma that deeply attracted her, making her inadvertently fall into it.

"Xu Ran, what's wrong?" Bi Bidong couldn't help but ask. She couldn't resist reaching out, wanting to smooth the furrowed brow of Xu Ran, as such a remarkable man shouldn't be this way.

Xu Ran was born to stand at the pinnacle of this world.

He is a natural-born king.

Even she had to admit, Xu Ran was the strongest Soul Master in recorded history. His talent had long surpassed those so-called geniuses noted down in the annals of Martial Soul Hall.

And even someone like him had his own worries, didn't he? In ordinary times, seeing Xu Ran always grinning, perhaps that was the side he wanted others to see, always keeping joy for others, stress for himself.

In an instant, Bi Bidong felt as if she was recognizing a different Xu Ran.

Stripped of his dazzling façade, Xu Ran might be lonelier than anyone else.

It was precisely because of what he lacked that Xu Ran would seek so relentlessly.

"Does it have to do with the grand battle before?" Bi Bidong couldn't help asking. She knew that in that battle, Xu Ran must have been one of the main figures.

The aftermath of that kind of fight, she had felt it all the way over here in Martial Soul Hall.

"It's nothing, don't think too much. I'm fine," Xu Ran said with a smile. He also had his own trump cards, no matter who it was, he could handle it.

"Is there something you still can't tell me? I am the Spirit Hall Pope, after all. Maybe I can help you," she said.

"You're now the person Xue'er likes, so you're one of our own. Even if you had a myriad of flaws, I couldn't just let you throw your life away carelessly," Bi Bidong said, looking at Xu Ran irritably and speaking softly.

In her heart, Xu Ran now held a deep place. Xu Ran was a genius, one she could identify with, and coupled with his relationship with Qian Renxue, Bi Bidong no longer saw Xu Ran as an outsider.

Once Xu Ran healed Brock, Xu Ran would truly become one of their own.

And Xu Ran had already promised before, although Xu Ran was a lecher, those with such strength were also prideful. His word was as irrevocable as water poured out; if he said he would help Brock, he definitely would.

By then, the barriers between them would disappear, and she and Xue'er could be as close as sisters.

Wait, that term "sisters" sounded a bit odd to her, though she couldn't pinpoint exactly why. After Xu Ran said that, she followed his train of thought.

"Your strength is not enough," Xu Ran shook his head, his adversaries were no longer those on Soul Land.

"My strength isn't enough?" Bi Bidong's eyes widened as she stared at Xu Ran, suddenly taken aback. Her entire life's pride was her strength. Before the appearance of people like Xu Ran, she was Soul Land's most outstanding genius, possessing Twin Martial Souls, and also being the Pope, the strongest in the history of Martial Soul Hall.

And now Xu Ran was saying her strength wasn't enough?

Could it be that Xu Ran's adversaries were those from the Divine Realm?

"You guessed right, my opponents are gods," said Xu Ran lightly, smiling and not revealing too much more to Bi Bidong.

"What? Gods? How many gods have you offended?" Bi Bidong looked at Xu Ran in disbelief. To have the Divine Realm as enemies, yet to speak of it so casually, as if it were a trifle, even she did not possess such audacity.

"I have offended the entire Divine Realm," said Xu Ran irritably. The entire Divine Realm, not a single god was friendly toward him. When his identity as a soul beast was exposed, the Divine Realm's intent to kill would be far greater than that for Gu Yuena. At that time, he would become the Divine Realm's assassination target.
