Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

"Xiaowu, what's wrong with you?" Xu Ran yawned, looking at Xiaowu with some confusion. Her eyes were hazy, and her cheeks had turned a flushed red.

"Brother Xu Ran, could you face the other way?"

Once Xu Ran fell asleep, he would be out for hours. That long, she really couldn't hold back.

"Oh, sure." Xu Ran nodded, turning his head away and facing his back towards Xiaowu. Although he often liked to tease Xiaowu, now he was being quite gentlemanly. Xu Ran wasn't oblivious, knowing well that if he dared to say anything now, Xiaowu would definitely not get this close to him next time.

Moreover, it could affect their relationship. Teasing her sometimes could bring them closer, but some things needed moderation—too much could directly impact their feelings towards each other.

Xiaowu watched as Xu Ran turned his face away, but the blush on her face didn't fade for a long time.

"Hey, Brother Xu Ran, did you just find out about something?" Xiaowu poked Xu Ran's back with her slender finger and couldn't help but ask with worry.

"Find out about what? I'm about to sleep. Remember to wake me up when we reach Soto City." Xu Ran pretended not to understand and even yawned before drifting off to sleep right away.

"Oh." Xiaowu pouted, pulling a face and responded with a voice. She was no longer a child, naturally understanding that Xu Ran was considering her dignity and didn't say anything.

She was not a child anymore; she understood everything she needed to.

Xiaowu gently caressed Xu Ran's face, staring at his peaceful visage as he lay on her legs like a child, her thoughts wandering. Meanwhile, Xu Ran directly opened the System panel.

["Host"]: Xu Ran

[Age]: 12 years old

[Martial Soul]: "Godslayer Sword"

[Skill Points]: 500

["Cultivation Level"]: Level 31

[Bloodline]: Kylin[100 Years]

["Harem"]: None (to be developed later)

[Mission]: None for now

"System, how can I increase the lifespan of my soul beast? How many years does one skill point increase?" Xu Ran asked.

"One skill point can increase one year. For a ferocious beast, once it reaches ten thousand years, one skill point can increase ten years."

"Soul beasts are different from humans. For a soul beast like the Kylin, it can match the power of an ordinary hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast with only ten thousand years of "Cultivation Level". It is comparable to a level 95 Titled Douluo of the human world. But even if its "Cultivation Level" reaches nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand years, its power will still be between a Titled Douluo and God Rank. Therefore, before ten thousand years, soul beasts need more skill points to increase their lifespan," the System explained.

"So to become a million-year soul beast, wouldn't I need almost a hundred thousand skill points?" Xu Ran couldn't help but swallow hard. His current five hundred skill points were nothing compared to a hundred thousand skill points, not even enough to be considered spare change.

When would he ever earn that many skill points? Plus, he needed another hundred thousand skill points to enable the System to transform. There was also the matter of upgrading his Soul Rings.

Goodness, wouldn't he be worked to death in the future?

"'Host' need not worry. As the 'Host's' power increases, the number of skill points earned from missions will also gradually increase. Furthermore, 'Host' can explore other channels to obtain skill points. Whenever the 'Host' acquires a Goddess Level member for the 'Harem', the System will reward the 'Host' with a bonus of one thousand to ten thousand skill points," the System said.

"Damn, are you pushing me to start a 'Harem'?" Xu Ran's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but get a bit excited. He figured all his hard work on missions was not as good as flirting.

Flirting and leveling up at the same time, isn't that just wonderful?

A Goddess Level 'Harem' is worth thousands of skill points, maybe even ten thousand.

"But what exactly does Goddess Level mean?" Xu Ran couldn't help but ask.

"Goddess Level refers to a special rank based on a woman's appearance, figure, talents, and strength, among other things. This is also set to prevent the 'Host' from casually picking subpar girls just to mix in skill points," said the System lady.

"So you mean to say that, even if a girl like Cuihua joins my 'Harem', there would be no reward. But someone like Zhu Qing would get a reward, right?" Xu Ran suddenly grasped the System's intention. This Goddess Level was to prevent him from exploiting the System for skill points.

"Correct," the System lady nodded, confirming Xu Ran's statement.

"Then why is my 'Harem' still empty? I am Zhu Qing's fiancé, isn't Zhu Qing part of my 'Harem'?"

But soon Xu Ran pondered and looked at the hint on the System panel, realizing it all.

"Let's first use those five hundred skill points on my Soul Rings' age," Xu Ran said. "Add three thousand years to the first Soul Ring, a thousand years to the second, and a thousand to the third."

"Ding, the 'Host's' original first, second, and third Soul Rings' lifespans were three hundred years, six hundred years, and two thousand years, respectively. After using skill points, they are now three thousand three hundred years, one thousand six hundred years, and three thousand years," the System announced.

As the System's voice resounded, Xu Ran distinctly felt a slight stir within the depths of his soul, and his Soul Power also became much stronger. Clearly, his Soul Rings' age had successfully been increased.

"Three thousand-year Soul Rings, if I were to show them off, I might scare someone senseless," Xu Ran murmured, revealing a smile. He was looking forward to the day when all of his Soul Rings would be enhanced to a hundred thousand or even a million years with skill points. By then, nothing would be able to stop him.
