Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 392 High!
"Xu Ran's combat talent is simply too high!"

The second senior brother, who was observing Xu Ran's trial, saw him block the sudden appearance of the bald head when he couldn't see.

Moreover, he was using the most basic sword technique he had just learned—Defense!
Such combat talent would be considered top-tier even in ancient times.

In fact, his combat talent in swordsmanship is comparable to that of a sword immortal!

"He's only just learned the basic sword techniques, right? How come he can suddenly use them so skillfully?"

At this moment, the junior sister was also extremely surprised to see Xu Ran's current situation!

Although she is a practitioner who specializes in the power of the soul, one method can lead to all methods!
Moreover, as the junior sister of the nine-story giant tower, she herself has extremely rich knowledge and has seen many sword geniuses.

It is obvious what kind of talent is needed to achieve Xu Ran's level in such a short period of time.

It can be said.

Since the birth of the Origin Realm, almost all sword geniuses have emerged.

Remember, even a sword genius can't reach Xu Ran's level!

In other words, Xu Ran's swordsmanship talent is an extremely terrifying existence even in the history of the Origin Realm!

Even the eldest brother's breathing was a little rapid at this moment, and even his originally cold expression had turned slightly flushed!

If his second senior brother and junior sister were paying attention to him, they would surely be amazed by the scene!
This is a state I've never seen my senior brother in before!
"Xu Ran, that's terrifying! He's only just started learning swordsmanship, and he's already at this level!"

"I'm not as good as him!"

The senior brother's cold voice rang out, echoing outside the trial. This cold voice seemed to be replying to himself.

He has been a legend since birth.

All those with the Extreme Ice Body before were born died tragically in the womb due to the extremely strong Extreme Ice Power!

He was the only one among the several individuals with the Extreme Ice Body to be successfully born, and he was the only one!

Based on this alone, they could be among the top ten in the history of the Origin Realm!
To know.

Geniuses with special physical constitutions possess extremely strong luck.

Those beings with extremely strong luck and the physique of extreme ice all died in the womb, and the resentment within them was terrifying.

The greater this resentment, the stronger the fortune the eldest brother carried at birth!

That's the combined fortune of nearly ten Extreme Ice Bodies!
It was precisely because of this, coupled with his terrifying talent and fortuitous encounters, that he accomplished the feat of saving the ancient era. Standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, he successfully and completely sealed the void rift, preventing the leakage of the raging [Annihilation Power].

It can be said that this series of feats saved the entire Origin Realm!
but.

This is the same person who, while observing Xu Ran undergoing his trial today, actually said something that made him inferior!
To know.

The eldest brother grew up surrounded by praise, a true example of someone else's perfect child.

The words I hear every day are something that no one else can experience in a lifetime!
Growing up in such an environment, coupled with his invincible talent, he successfully became the senior disciple of the Nine-Story Tower!

Such a being, on this seemingly ordinary day, actually uttered such words!

Upon hearing this, the second senior brother and the junior sister beside him stared at the eldest senior brother in surprise.

Their eyes trembled, clearly showing that they were also stunned by what their senior brother had said!
Especially the junior sister.

Hearing her senior brother, who was invincible in her eyes, say such a thing, she was about to speak up in rebuttal.

But when he thought of Xu Ran, who had just shone brightly in the trial, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, and a look of helplessness appeared in his eyes!

There is no way!

Both are geniuses, so they naturally know where the gap lies. Forcing a rebuttal now will only backfire!

In truth, the second senior brother didn't mean much by dissuading him.

After all, Xu Ran's talent is obvious to the naked eye and cannot be changed!
If he really cared about someone surpassing him, he wouldn't be sitting here with his senior brother watching Xu Ran undergo his trial.

Moreover, although he was not as good as his senior brother, they were both geniuses, but they had the same thoughts.

They may be surpassed, but they cannot ignore the facts!

Each of the three had their own thoughts, but at the same time they all looked at Xu Ran, who was still undergoing the trial.

"Xu Ran, you're not far from passing the swordsmanship trial!"

The eldest brother's voice returned to its icy tone, and the second brother nodded in agreement.

Although the junior sister didn't quite understand, she nodded along!

at the same time!

In the Trial Arena!

At this moment, Xu Ran and the bald man, their silver and blood-red iron swords pressed against each other, occasionally sliding up and down, producing sparks, their eyes locked on each other.

At this moment, the two seemed to be locked in a battle of wits!

"Such a grown man, still resorting to sneak attacks!"

Xu Ran stared fearlessly at Xu Ran, gripping the silver iron sword even tighter, while his mouth remained open.

The bald man's move just now, using the reflected blood-red light to interfere with Xu Ran's vision, was not honorable and was a despicable act.

but.

For the bald man, this so-called despicable behavior was not something worth explaining at all.

"Little friend, do you understand what those four words, 'life-or-death struggle,' mean?"

As he spoke, the bald man's eyes narrowed, and his tone became serious, as if he were instructing Xu Ran.

"A life-or-death struggle means using any means necessary, with no morals whatsoever!"

"This is a life-or-death struggle, not a childish game of sparring!"

The bald man's words at this moment were extremely disdainful!
A life-or-death struggle means that one's life is about to be pushed to its end by others.

In such a situation, no matter what method is used, as long as it can turn defeat into victory, as long as it can achieve a successful victory, as long as it can successfully kill the opponent, then it is a good move, regardless of whether it is considered honorable or not!

At this point, the bald man looked at Xu Ran as if he were looking at a small child, even though he himself was a child under two years old.

It's normal for their thinking to be rigid and inflexible, after all, they haven't experienced the darkness of human nature yet, and it's also normal for them to want to follow the justice in their hearts.

The bald man's task now is to change Xu Ran's mindset, transform his character, and make him stronger.

But what the bald man didn't know was that Xu Ran had far more experience than him!

Hearing the bald man's words, Xu Ran grinned, as if he had received some kind of instruction.

"Since you, the gatekeeper, have said so, wouldn't I be letting down your teachings if I didn't make some changes?"

"Ok?"

The bald men, who were facing off against each other, looked puzzled when they heard Xu Ran's words, wondering what he was talking about.

after all.

At less than two years old, even if he has great talent, it is innate. But to master human nature requires a long period of time.

Who is Xu Ran?

Judging from his appearance, he was just a child born into a hunter's family, who had never been to school, was illiterate, and had no logical thinking.

Only someone with exceptional talent like Xu Ran could stand out among almost all the geniuses in the history of the Origin Realm.
In terms of talent, even in his lifetime, he couldn't compare to Xu Ran. However, in terms of knowledge, Xu Ran couldn't even catch up with him in terms of flattery!
of course.

This is just the bald guy's idea. Who knows?

Xu Ran, who looks to be less than two years old, has already lived three lifetimes.

That alone is something no one else can compare to!
That's three lifetimes!

In terms of strategy, they really can't compare to Xu Ran.

The bald man's mind was racing, and for a moment he completely forgot about the scene where he was looking at Xu Ran.

Xu Ran, with his excellent observation skills, immediately noticed the bald man's strangeness and let out a loud shout.

"You dare to be lost in thought when facing me!"

"Behold my swordsmanship—Thrust!"

Xu Ran's figure, like thunder and lightning, echoed in the bald man's ears. Instantly, his thoughts were drawn back to Xu Ran, and he happened to hear Xu Ran's words.

He only hesitated for a moment before realizing what was happening.

"What I was thinking was right after all!"

The bald man hadn't expected this.

Before engaging in a life-or-death battle, Xu Ran would actually shout out the name of his move.

This is really too abstract!
What does it mean?
Isn't this just blatantly telling your enemy that you're going to stab them with your sword?

In subtraction, the thrust is a very important attack technique.

It can be said that in almost all sword techniques, the thrusting motion is the most important element.

No matter how much its form changes, or how fancy its name may be, a thorn is still a thorn!

Especially for Xu Ran, a novice swordsman who had just learned swordsmanship, there was no other aura supporting him.

This thorn was covered only with Xu Ran's golden spiritual energy; nothing else was attached to it.

"He has enough talent, but lacks combat experience!"

The bald man stared at the silver iron sword thrusting straight at him and casually commented.

It was as if he were facing a real two-year-old baby wielding a wooden sword and thrusting it at him.

This scenario posed no threat to him whatsoever!
result!

Just as Xu Ran's silver iron sword, imbued with a large amount of spiritual energy, was about to pierce the bald man's heart.

Sudden.

Xu Ran's tender wrist suddenly twisted, and the silver iron sword that was originally aimed straight at the bald man's heart instantly changed from a thrust to a sweep, like a huge cross-section, slashing towards the center of the bald man's body.

Sensing the sudden change in Xu Ran's subtraction technique, the bald man's eyes narrowed sharply. Clearly, he was startled by Xu Ran's abrupt shift in tactics.

What surprised him most was that a child under two years old said something completely different from what he did during the battle!
What kind of scheming is this?!

All of a sudden.

In the bald man's dazed moment, Xu Ran, wielding a silver iron sword, slashed through the bald man's pants with a "rip," sending a piece of fabric fluttering across the arena.

Not only that, but a trail of bright red blood also floated in the air.

injured!
The bald guy is injured!
The bald guy, who should be invincible in this level, was actually scratched by Xu Ran in the swordsmanship trial!
That's right, it's a scratch!
This cut wasn't caused by Xu Ran's superior swordsmanship, nor by the bald man's weak defense.

Instead.

Baldy was deceived by Xu Ran.

Where's the promised thorn? Why did it turn into a sweeping attack at the crucial moment?
The bald man, whose stomach had been slashed by Xu Ran, staggered back a few steps, his anger rising.

"How dare you do such a thing, you little kid who has just learned sword intent?"

"Do you know that the sword's owner's personality directly affects the will when creating supernatural powers, and also affects the sword itself?"

"You're not even two years old, and you've already learned to lie?"

"Do you know that swordsmanship is about going forward without hesitation and being fearless!"

"Do you know that the sword is called the weapon of gentlemen because most swordsmen are upright and righteous? How could someone like you resort to such a despicable move!"

At this moment, the bald man, like a street thug, cursed and swore without any regard for his image.

Amidst this almost unbearable cursing, the scratches on his chest had already healed.

Xu Ran picked at his ear after hearing these words.

"What you're saying sounds just like my mother—nagging!"

Upon hearing this, the bald man was about to continue saying "almost," but Xu Ran immediately shut him up.

"Didn't you just say that in a life-or-death situation, you should learn to use any means necessary, and that all you need to do is survive!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the spot where the bald man had been injured and bleeding.

"See, haven't I been listening to you?"

Upon hearing this, the bald man, who was about to say something more, suddenly stopped, his face filled with annoyance.

I'm reflecting on myself. Why did I say those things just now?

result.

Xu Ran was incredibly clever; he learned to use it in such a short time and achieved good results.

Despite the vast difference in skill between the two, Xu Ran managed to injure the bald man with a single sword strike.

Based on this alone, Xu Ran is already qualified to graduate.

"You little brat, what do you know!"

At that moment, the bald man roared out in anger.

"All the sword intents of the sword immortals have been fully integrated. From now on, no matter what tricks or schemes you use, you will only fall before absolute power!"

Having said that, he suddenly raised the blood-red iron sword above his head, spun the blade, and the skull on the blood-red iron sword suddenly made a dull sound of being shattered.

"Crack!"

Soon.

The skull on the blood-red iron sword suddenly made a sound.

Suddenly, cracks began to appear on the perfectly intact and smooth human skull, and the sound that had just been made was the sound of the bone breaking.

"boom--"

Not long after the crack appeared, a crisp sound came from the blood-red iron sword.

The broken human bone embedded in the sword hilt shattered completely at that moment, and the bone instantly scattered into the air.

"call--"

Simultaneously.

The human bones that were floating in the air turned into wisps of dark red mist, swirling around the blood-red iron sword.

Strangely, these dark red mists were not directly absorbed by the blood-red iron sword; they simply swirled around it quietly!
