Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 24 Amazing Test! The Third Innate Baptism!
[You consumed high-energy food, Qi and Health increased by 4 points. Current Qi and Health is 2011/10000 points...]

"Oh my goodness, it worked! It worked!"

"Master Dao, I am done!"

"These two hundred days have been worth it. I've been sweating profusely every day, digesting four bones of a seventh-level crystal beast!"

Xu Ran was ecstatic.

An average person would not be able to sustain 200 days of crazy self-discipline.

Four crystal beast bones need to be digested every day! Hard bones grinding against a soft stomach, how could the average person bear it?
At first, his stomach was only capable of [normal digestion], but he suddenly swallowed a crystal beast bone and had to forcefully digest it...

This is simply torture!

His stomach was always moving forward with the weight, like a pearl oyster filled with sand!

Every once in a while, he would sweat profusely, and even every day, his stomach would go on strike and he would want to vomit out bones.

It was Xu Ran who relied on his willpower, mobilized all his attention and mental strength, and forced his stomach to exercise "self-discipline".

After 100 days, he reached the entry-level level of [Nutrient Extraction]...

But even at the entry-level progress of [Nutrient Extraction], digesting four crystal beast bones every day is not an easy task.

Discomfort!
pain!

Want to give up!

But for the golden achievement, Xu Ran gritted his teeth, relied on his willpower to suppress the pain, and digested his bones day after day.

It is no exaggeration to say that his efforts can be described as arduous!

If the money cannot be doubled, Xu Ran will definitely go crazy.

Fortunately, I have a great stomach, no need to say more!

His sweat was not in vain at all!

From entry-level advancement to minor success, his achievement doubled just as he wished!
This is so cool!
"One meal plus 4 points, three meals plus 12 points, plus the +1 point from the self-disciplined baby, a total of 13 points."

"There are 608 days left until the mission deadline. I can increase my HP by 7904 points in total. Adding this to the existing 2011 points, I have a total of 9915 points."

"Although it seems a little short of what I need, after 100 days, I will be able to fully master [Nutrient Extraction]!"

At that time, the increase in Qi and blood value after eating a meal of rhinoceros meat will see another increase.

"All the efforts have been rewarded..."

Xu Ran let out a long sigh, his handsome features filled with joy, and he even couldn't help humming a little song.

The harvest after hardship has always been so refreshing and soul-satisfying!

Seeing this, the mother was surprised: "Son, I noticed that you would be very happy every once in a while. What are you laughing about?"

His mother gave him a slap on the head.

Xu Ran still smiled brightly: "I just remembered something happy."

"Mom, remember to ask me for a big plate of bones..."

My mother glanced at me and said, "I know. We have to feed the animals every day! I don't know what this habit is. It's been going on for almost a year, right?"

Xu Ran corrected him: "No, it was only a little over seven months. 216 days to be exact."

"Huh? You even remember the number of days? You're worthy of being a genius in the demigod kindergarten. Great! You're really a little pride of your mother."

Mom was slightly surprised.

Her baby son is really amazing. He is only three years and four months old, but he is already 1.4 meters tall.

This is before my age, when my growth has slowed down...

Although, the geniuses in the Demigod Kindergarten have grown taller than their peers.

But when she recalled that three years and four months ago, her baby was only 4 kg and 51 cm long, tiny and wrinkled, not even as big as the grass carp in the vegetable market... she couldn't help but sigh.

Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, her son has almost grown to the height of her heart.

Mom sighed with emotion, "It's only been three years, and I can't hold you anymore. I don't know how much longer I can stay with you. You're such a genius, maybe soon you'll have to go to other provinces to gain experience and study."

"When I grow up a few more years, I might have to deal with various accidents. When I grow up a few more years, I might have to go to a time and space node, to an interstellar battlefield... leaving my mother all alone... Sigh!"

Xu Ran turned his head and looked at his mother: "Don't worry, I will come back to see you often, Mom."

Mom wiped her slightly moist eyes and said, "Um... by the way, we need to feed the animals quickly today.

At 8:40 am, we rushed to Director Qin's research center to test our Qi and blood levels, as well as a series of other cultivation states."

Xu Ran gazed slightly.

Yes, before I knew it, it has been 200 days since I came to the Demigod Kindergarten.

What value should I give myself this time?

You definitely can't reveal all 2011 points of Qi and Health.

That's shocking!
Once it is exposed, the super powerful beings from the three alien planets may unite and strangle him at all costs!
"I don't need to do such a stupid thing. Just be a little weaker than Adam."

"When Adam was four years old, his Qi and Health value was 546 points... I'm three years and four months old now. If I could get 400 points, I'd be considered a top-tier genius, but I wouldn't be too conspicuous and attract fatal consequences."

Xu Ran had a perfect plan.

In the desperate context of the three alien invasions, he definitely won't be the first to stand out!

Just reveal one-fiftieth of your strength and be a first-rate genius.

after all.

Above the Monument Realm, there's the Hill Realm, the Mountain Realm, and the Peak Realm. And as a three-year-old baby, the conversion rate of his Qi and blood into Qi and strength is only 10%...

Even though his agility and damage skills are extremely impressive, he is also a mage with high mana and low defense. How can he not be cautious?
"Boom-"

Xu Ran picked up the last few bones and threw them at the crystal beast in the garden.

Xiao Xu's flying knife, which had become very powerful, allowed him to accurately hit the foreheads of several crystal beasts.

[You are currently feeding an animal. Advanced Taming progress +100 points. Current progress: Advanced Taming (Minor Success): 100/10000...]

Experience gained!

Just get out of here!

"Okay, Mom, today's animal feeding is over. Let's go to Director Qin."

Xu Ran patted the four bones in his pocket.

He turned around and took his mother's hand, walking towards Director Qin's research center.

My mother was stunned. "No, you're so accurate? Son, have you become a dart master?"

Xu Ran didn't hide it: "Yes, I have been practicing since I was one year old... plus I have a high level of understanding, so to have such accuracy, doesn't it just take good hands?"

My mother raised an eyebrow. "How can you just use your hands? This is unbelievable! Can you really hit the target every time?"

"Ninety-eight percent probability, right? I can't guarantee I can lock onto the enemy."

Xu Ran smiled faintly.

suddenly.

He was stunned.

Lock on to the enemy? Hmm? Can I trigger the lock on the enemy skill? This is a magical skill!
When I have time...I must try it!

But for now.

Go to the research center first!

……

Eight twenty.

Mom and Xu Ran came to Director Qin’s research center.

A spacious first-floor venue.

Everyone was there—the principal, Li Qinghong, Director Qin, assistant Sister Xiao Liu... and the guards in blue kindergarten uniforms.

In terms of security protection, the Demigod Kindergarten is very strict. Every child is accompanied by a third-level Qiu Realm practitioner.

"Are you all here? Now take the roll and sign in."

"After signing in, the assistant will announce the child's name. When you hear your name, please come to the front quickly to measure the Qi and Blood growth data for the past two hundred days."

"First, Zhu Yuheng."

The pretty little girl with white hair and eyebrows slowly walked up to Sister Xiao Liu and stretched out her hand...

"Zhu Yuheng, four years and five months old, Qi and blood value... Qi and blood value... 950.44...!!"

The assistant, Sister Xiao Liu's voice trembled slightly.

And when her voice rang out.

Director Qin's laboratory was suddenly filled with silence, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop...

The value was too high, and everyone present was silenced!

The guards looked stunned: "..."

The mothers looked at each other in bewilderment: "..."

Li Qinghong's pupils trembled slightly: "This data..."

Even the headmaster was surprised and lost his composure: "Are you sure it's 950.44?!"

Assistant Xiao Liu nodded and said, "Director, this is a brand new instrument. It has very high precision and accuracy. It shouldn't make any mistakes."

Director Qin was a little skeptical: "Change to another instrument and test it again."

"Ok."

Fifty seconds later, Xiao Liu reported the data again: "Zhu Yuheng, Qi and Health value is 950.43 points."

The error is only 0.01...which means the data is completely reliable.

"This……"

The headmaster's eyes lit up. "Four years and five months old, with a Qi and Blood value of 950 points. At this rate, he'll definitely surpass Adam's record when he was five years old!"

Director Qin: "Congratulations, Principal! This is the world's number one super genius!"

The headmaster's face wrinkles relaxed. "Not necessarily first, because Adam is nine years old now, and the record was four years ago..."

Four years have passed, and new talents have undoubtedly emerged in the capital, the Magic City, and other regions. But no matter what, Zhu Yuheng is still among the top 20 in Xia Country!

The headmaster chuckled. Although he was serious, he was happy from the bottom of his heart at this moment.

"Feng Yan, five years and one month old, Qi and blood value 910.66..."

"Bian Yue, five years old, Qi and blood value 908.23..."

"Bie Jingqiu, five years old, Qi and blood value 905.97..."

"Zhuge Huangjin, four years and nine months old, Qi and Health value 900.28..."

The top five super geniuses all exceeded 900 points!
good good!
The director was very proud, his face beaming with joy: "This is the strongest class in the past twenty years! There is hope for restoring the glory of Jing Province!"

The five little guys' health values ​​made the headmaster feel uneasy, as if he was sitting on the clouds...

He took a deep breath: "Continue testing!"

……

"Xu Ran, three years and four months old, Qi and Blood value 450.10 points."

When Xu Ran's data came out.

Director: “Ah?”

Director Qin: "Ah?"

Li Qinghong: "Ah?"

They didn't expect Xu Ran's data to be so high.

When I entered school, it was only 206 points, right? 200 days, and the blood value increased by more than 1 point every day?
What kind of monster is this!
The headmaster was shocked: "This... is the measurement wrong? Test again!"

Sister Xiao Liu changed the machine: "Xu Ran, three years and four months old, Qi and blood value 450.50 points."

Be confirmed.

Everyone's expression changed when they looked at Xu Ran.

This is a bit scary!
Even the most talented Zhu Yuheng only increases his Qi and Blood value by 1.2 per day!

But Xu Ran surpassed Zhu Yuheng's increase?

Could it be that Xu Ran is also a super genius like Zhu Yuheng?

Doesn’t he have the talent for understanding?

The root of understanding should be reflected in wisdom and understanding...how come even the growth of Qi and blood value is so rapid?!

Follow this trend.

Wouldn't that mean he could compete with the top five super geniuses?!
Isn't it too scary?
Burning gazes focused on Xu Ran's face...

My mother was stunned: "Is this my child? What a fierce child!"

The other mothers whispered to each other: "Xiao Ran, this child, scared many children and made them cry loudly from the moment he came in... I knew then that he might be a genius among geniuses."

"Instructor Li Qinghong particularly favored him for his evasive footwork. She said he had a very high level of understanding."

"I thought he was just skilled, but I didn't expect his Qi and blood to increase so rapidly!"

"Even in the Demigod Kindergarten, his talent would be ranked in the top ten, right?"

"Absolutely!"

"He's just a little young, and he started school late. If he had entered at the age of one, when he was five, he might have been number one."

The mothers' eyes were burning.

I admire Xu Ran very much.

The headmaster's eyes sparkled: "Kid, you're a pleasant surprise."

“I remember you were two years and nine months old when you joined the Demigod Kindergarten.

At that time, I thought you would be far behind... I thought you would experience frustration and setbacks, but I never expected that you would give me such a big surprise! "

"Keep going, kid. I'm rooting for you!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Principal!"

Xu Ran smiled faintly, thinking that I have an even bigger surprise in store.

Of course, this cannot be shown!
"Wow, Brother Xiao Ran is so awesome!"

On the side, Hu Niu clapped her hands vigorously until her palms turned red.

Xu Ran rubbed her head: "You are better than me."

"Really? Then why can't I always catch Brother Xiao Ran? And why can't I always beat Brother Xiao Ran?"

Xu Ran: “…”

So you've always wanted to beat me, right?
No wonder he often attacks me from behind.

“Box, box, box!”

Seeing Hu Niu's strange smile, Xu Ran flicked her forehead and said, "Don't be silly and laugh. Go over and test your Qi and Blood levels."

Hu Niu covered her forehead and mumbled, "Oh..."

"Jiang Liuli...Jiang Liuli is here to test her Qi and blood values."

"Coming."

Hu Niu suddenly rushed out like a cheetah, scaring my mother, Aunt Chen, and the people around them.

"What a tiger."

Xu Ran couldn't help laughing.

If a woman is not good-looking but impetuous, she is a tomboy.

But Hu Niu is pretty and cute, but she is a little girl with extraordinary strength.

How does the saying go: Beauty is justice.

Anyway, everyone thinks Hu Niu is cute. Except for the fact that she easily beats her own children to tears, she is good in every way...

"Jiang Liuli, three years and two months old. Qi and blood value... 6... 621.50...???"

Sister Xiao Liu stammered, her eyes wide open in disbelief.

She knows the data of every child.

When Jiang Liuli first came in, he only had 91 points!
But in just 200 days, a 530-point surge? A single-day increase of 2.65...

Twice as much as Zhu Yuheng? !

Isn't this too scary? !

"hiss--"

"hiss--"

There was a series of gasps in the office.

What the hell is Adam in front of Jiang Liuli?!

The director was silent for a long time. "Is there any problem with this new instrument? Don't let an old man like me get excited for nothing."

His voice trembled.

It’s a bit scary!
I'm so scared this is a dream!!
When he woke up from the dream, the surprise turned into shock, and this old man really couldn’t stand it!
Assistant Xiao Liu: "...Why do you always doubt the instrument? Maybe... the instrument is really broken?"

She quickly went upstairs, brought down the old instrument, and took a drop of blood for testing.

"Jiang Liuli, three years and two months old. Her Qi and Blood value is 621! That's right, it's still 621. It's impossible that all three instruments are wrong, right?"

This time.

The headmaster no longer had any doubts.

All the wrinkles on his face smoothed out.

"Three years and two months old, far surpassing Adam's 546 points! And this is after only 200 days of training in the Demigod Kindergarten! I can't even imagine how high he'll reach in two years!"

"Good good!"

The head teacher was so happy that he put his hands behind his back and kept exclaiming in amazement.

"Go, Qinghong, take them to class!"

Li Qinghong nodded and led a group of children to class.

of course.

In Xu Ran's eyes, kindergarten classes are no different from rest.

He silently swallowed a piece of bone and checked his progress while attending class.

The break after class.

Sometimes, under the guidance of his mother, he would go hiking and taking walks with Hu Niu and her mother.

Sometimes I would go and compete with other geniuses.

Instructor Li Qinghong: "When tiger and bear cubs reach a certain age, they will gain practical combat experience through games like fighting. The children are now old enough to fight in the ring!"

then.

The free fighting class begins.

no doubt.

This is Hu Niu’s favorite part.

This is also the part that Xu Ran is best at.

Hu Niu was born with extraordinary strength. Xu Ran even suspected that her blood-qi conversion rate was 500%. Otherwise, why could Bang Bang knock Zhu Yuheng down with just a few punches?

There were more than a dozen geniuses who were tortured by her and cried loudly.

Even Zhu Yuheng always looked aggrieved...

As for Xu Ran... his character of "insight and talent" is unshakable, and his skills are at full capacity. With a dodge and a throw, he can knock down his opponent, and he is very elegant throughout the whole process.

Zhu Yuheng was about to cry.

She was the first one to arrive at the kindergarten, and her energy was the highest, so it was double the happiness.

But why is it that ever since these two little brats came, she has been failing and frustrated, losing double the happiness?
why?
Zhu Yuheng's delicate little face wrinkled like a lotus leaf wrinkled by the wind.

She squatted in the corner, hugging her little knees with her hands, her bright eyes full of mist.

Li Qinghong sighed slightly.

"These two three-year-olds are so brutal. Should we find some counseling for the other geniuses?"

"Xu Ran, you and Jiang Liuli have a fight."

She threw Jiang Liuli and Xu Ran onto the ring.

Xu Ran: “…”

Seeing Xu Ran standing in the opposing camp, Hu Niu's dark eyes lit up: "Hehehehe, Xiao-Ran-Brother-Brother~ knock you down!"

talking.

Hu Niu turned into a whirlwind and rushed towards Xu Ran.

Xu Ran pretended to dodge several times, and then was knocked off the ring by a punch.

"I lost, I lost. Sister Liuli is really amazing."

“Box, box, box, box!”

"I can eat two pieces of meat at once! I'm the strongest!"

Hu Niu put her hands on her hips and laughed wildly, her chubby face full of pride.

See this.

Xu Ran smiled faintly. It was just a child's competitive spirit. No need to worry about it.

"GuluGulu——"

suddenly.

There was a rumbling sound of stomachs in the ring, a bit loud.

Hu Niu quickly covered her belly and said, "Mom, I'm hungry. I want to eat some meat!"

Hu Niu's mother: "..."

Li Qinghong smiled faintly: "Go ahead, take her to have some extra food. She... um... will need more training when she grows up. Right now, she... has too much talent for fighting."

Li Qinghong waved his hands helplessly.

of course.

As the most technically elegant kid in the room...

Like Hu Niu, Xu Ran was dismissed from get out of class early.

They don't even have to go to the courage-building class in the afternoon, they can just do whatever they want.

then.

Had lunch.

Xu Ran was practicing the Phantom Step, Little Xu Flying Knife, and Origami Spirituality in the house...

Progress +1...

Progress +1...

Progress +1...

If you put in the time, you'll see significant progress!
The motivation for self-discipline is, of course, growing stronger day by day.

In the progress of rising little by little.

Time flies.

Five days passed in a flash.

Day 1318 of the infancy period! Xu Ran's Qi and Health points reached 3320!
The progress of [Nutrient Extraction] has also reached great success.

"At the advanced stage of [Nutrient Extraction], eating a piece of seventh-level rhino meat will increase your HP by 5 points! Wow, this must have completely squeezed out all the nutrients from the seventh-level rhino meat, leaving not a drop behind."

Xu Ran smiled happily.

The single-day increase reached 16 points! It only takes 418 days to complete the third innate baptism, a full 90 days ahead of the deadline!
"Good! Liver up!"

Xu Ran was ecstatic and began to be crazy self-disciplined, spending every day fulfillingly in self-discipline and harvest.

An increase of 100 points of Qi and Health in 1600 days is equivalent to Adam's increase in one year. Who wouldn't be confused after seeing this?
Xu Ran wished he could be self-disciplined 24 hours a day.

of course.

His life was not just about self-discipline.

In addition to self-discipline, Xu Ran tried to trigger the enemy lock skill; tried to trigger the explosive skill...

I tried sitting on Li Qinghong's back and triggering the flying skill...

I've tried many new things...

But all failed.

Fortunately, his daily improvement diluted the blow of failure and prevented him from becoming pessimistic.

Self-discipline knows no age.

Time is like quicksand!
In the blink of an eye, 418 days have passed, and it is the 1735th day of early childhood!
At this moment, I am only 90 days away from turning five...

Exactly the same as in the calculation.

Today's time node is very special.

From getting up in the morning.

Xu Ran was looking forward to the end of today.

And after completing a day of self-discipline.

Xu Ran checked the progress of his magical skills.

[Advanced Beast Taming (Great Accomplishment): 50000/50000... You have reached the maximum value and will automatically be promoted to [Advanced Beast Taming (Perfect)]...]

[Nutrient Extraction (Great): 40000/50000...]

[Beast Language Mastery (Perfect): 1000/50000...]

[Water Avoidance Technique (Perfect): 1000/50000...]

[Seeing Through the Flaw (Perfect): 1000/50000...]

[Tiyunzong (Perfect): 1000/50000...]

[Gecko Wall Climbing Technique (Great Mastery): 1000/50000...]

[Super Speed ​​Recovery (Great Mastery): 40000/50000…]

[Body Shrouded in Misty Clouds (Perfection): 1000/50000…]

[Phantom Steps (Perfect): 1000/50000…]

[Origami Psychic (Mastery): 1000/50000...]

[Fear Spell (Beginner): 1000/10000…]

[Reading Ten Thousand Books: 2500/10000…]

After more than 400 days of self-discipline, my progress has been rapid.

However, after reaching perfection, the progress was obviously a little more difficult. It took him more time, and 24 hours was obviously not enough.

"Maybe I need to improve my comprehension. My magical skills have reached the second level of perfection. Without sufficient comprehension, the progress will be very slow! It won't be a sudden increase just by taking time."

Xu Ran had some insights.

I decided to spend the next period of time to develop my higher level of comprehension!

However, the most important thing right now is not the progress...

Instead, he completed the third innate baptism and obtained the third golden achievement.

[You consumed high-energy food, Qi and Health increased by 5 points. Your current Qi and Health value is 10000/10000... This has reached the maximum value. You need to increase the upper limit to continue increasing it.]

[You meet the requirements for the third innate baptism and can proceed with the third innate baptism! Do you want to proceed with the innate baptism? Yes/No?]

"I've waited so long, and it's finally here. I've been working hard for this for over 600 days! Swallowing crystal beast bones every day..."

"Baptism! And then step into a wider realm!"

Xu Ran's eyes suddenly lit up!
