Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 401 Air Wave!

Once that time comes!!

Even after people discovered that the morning glow and moonlight had the effect of tempering the physical body...

There's no way to absorb it into the body now!
They were helpless!

So when the bald man heard Xu Ran's words, his eyes were full of envy...

I'm so envious!

although.

Xu Ran is less than two years old. If what he said is true, he has been absorbing the morning glow and moonlight since birth without interruption.

His physical body had long been tempered to an extremely terrifying level, and even without the Great Perfection [Innate Saint Body], it was still enough for him to deal with most situations.

This is especially true in this era where spiritual energy is already depleted.

at this time.

The junior sister, who was observing Xu Ran's trial, heard Xu Ran and the bald man talking non-stop.

They kept talking about things like morning glow and moonlight, which I couldn't understand at all.

"Big Brother, what are they talking about?"

"Morning glow, moonlight, what are these things? I've never heard of them before."

At this moment, the junior sister stared at the senior brother like a curious child, wanting to get some answers from him.

The two senior brothers were already used to their junior sister's behavior, and immediately began to explain.

"Moonlight, the essence of moonlight emitted the moment the moon appears at night, has endless benefits for building a foundation, but one must stand under the moonlight to absorb it."

As the name suggests, the morning glow is the essence of the rising sun in the morning. It also has infinite benefits for building the foundation, and can only be absorbed by standing in the morning sun.

Moreover, if one begins absorbing energy during the foundation-building stage, it will greatly enhance physical strength!
"

The senior brother is explaining to the junior sister.

In the midst of trials.

Xu Ran's body recovered quickly, leaving only congealed bloodstains on his body, which showed how badly he had been injured.

Even so, in just a short time, the hole in the chest cavity that could have caused fatal damage was repaired.

In the arena, only the bald man remained, staring at Xu Ran in shock.

The child before him, who was not even two years old, had been absorbing the morning glow and moonlight since birth. For more than seven hundred days, he had nourished Xu Ran's body, which, even without achieving the Great Perfection of the [Innate Saint Body], was comparable to some powerful special physiques.

It is precisely because of this that his body was able to recover quickly.

At this moment, Xu Ran stood his hundreds-of-pounds-weight iron spear upright on the ground, his face fearless, staring at the bald man with imposing presence.

"Is that all you've got in a shot?"

"You think you can become the guardian of the Nine-Story Tower Trial?"

Xu Ran's tone was undisguisedly mocking, as if the one who had just been knocked away was the bald man.

Upon hearing Xu Ran's words, the bald man frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

But as the gatekeeper, it is his duty to take the initiative to test the trial participants.

Moreover, Xu Ran absorbed the morning glow and moonlight from the moment he was born, and the extent of his physical recovery was extremely terrifying, only slightly inferior to the Great Perfection [Innate Saint Body].

Therefore, there is only one way to completely defeat Xu Ran in this trial: to give him no chance to recover.

next moment.

A powerful shockwave suddenly erupted from the bald man's body, swirling around him and spreading outwards.

Instantly, the bald man's body stood upright on the ground, like the tip of a sharp spear.

The powerful shockwave caused cracks in the ground, and the surrounding air seemed to be compressed and distorted.

"puff--"

Simultaneously.

The moment this wave of air, as sharp as an iron spear, formed, it hurtled straight toward Xu Ran.

"call out--"

A sudden, loud whooshing sound rang out in the air. Looking in the direction of the sound...

The air currents that had just been swirling around the bald man suddenly shot straight toward Xu Ran with lightning speed, reaching him in less than a breath. Instead of his chest, they were aimed directly at his heart.

Upon seeing this scene, Xu Ran, who was the target of the air blast, revealed a strange smile, as if he had been waiting for this place on purpose.

As the bald man who initiated the attack, seeing Xu Ran's sudden smile, a bad premonition instantly arose in his heart. In just a moment, he understood the key to it.

"not good!"

The bald man cried out in alarm the moment the shockwave was about to hit Xu Ran's body.

However, Xu Ran, the primary target, heard the bald man's voice and laughed loudly, "Too late!"

Say it.

The shockwave entered Xu Ran's body with perfect accuracy.

"Pfft--"

A crisp sound emanated from Xu Ran's body, and instantly, a stream of blood, like a fountain, gushed from his heart, tracing a perfect arc in the air.

Simultaneously.

Xu Ran released his grip on the iron spear, half-squatting on the ground. His face and lips turned deathly pale, indicating that he had suffered a considerable injury.

but.

Even in this state, Xu Ran had a smile on his face.

"really not bad!"

Say it.

A golden aura rose from his body, and his originally pale lips and face instantly turned rosy.

The blood that should have sprayed into the air disappeared in an instant, and the wound in front of his heart also vanished as if it had never existed.

Full of energy, Xu Ran stood tall and stared at Xu Ran fearlessly once again.

"Keep going!"

Xu Ran's tone was full of confidence.

"You've grasped the hidden power?"

Upon seeing Xu Ran's actions, a thought arose in the bald man's mind, and he immediately asked.

"boom--"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ran did not reply, but instead stepped on his tender right foot, instantly producing a dull thud on the ground.

All of a sudden.

Centered on Xu Ran, within a radius of one zhang, the dust on the ground floated into the air as if it had touched a spring, and then fell back down.

"boom--"

The moment the dust settled, Xu Ran's right foot stomped on the ground again, and the dust rose once more.

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

With each stomp of Xu Ran's right foot, dust floated within a ten-foot radius around him.

"So this is called hidden strength!" Xu Ran suddenly realized.

When the bald man's red-tasseled spear pierced the iron spear, Xu Ran clearly sensed an invisible aura passing through the red-tasseled spear and the iron spear, striking his chest directly.

Moreover, this aura is extremely concentrated.

At that moment, Xu Ran realized something was wrong, and without any warning, he was sent flying backward.

And, that's not all.

During the inverted flight, the already injured tiger's mouth burst open, and even the chest cavity was pierced.

but.

Perhaps it was Xu Ran's fate to die. He himself did not expect that his recovery ability would be so strong after sealing the Great Perfection [Innate Saint Body] and Innate Qi!
The injury to his chest was healed instantly.

In the beginning, absorbing the morning glow and moonlight was solely for the purpose of acquiring innate energy.

But unexpectedly, these two substances born from heaven and earth had such a powerful effect, making his physical body so strong!
It was precisely because of this unexpected discovery that Xu Ran decided to mock the bald man, prompting him to launch the same attack on him as before.

as predicted.

As the gatekeeper, it was his duty to stop Xu Ran here.

Even if Xu Ran didn't mock him, he would still attack Xu Ran until he was completely killed.

But Xu Ran.

What he excels at is understanding the moment between life and death.

When he was first struck by the hidden force, he sensed something was wrong and gained some insights.

Therefore, mocking the bald man was a way for him to feel, once again, the urge to break through that threshold that was so close at hand.

And indeed, my own ability to perceive things did not disappoint me.

The dust that constantly floats in the air is the best proof of this.

The three senior and junior disciples who were observing Xu Ran's trial had indescribable expressions on their faces when they saw the dust floating in the air.

"You figured it out already?"

The second senior brother said in shock.

To be honest, he himself didn't know how many times he had said the same thing.

Since Xu Ran entered the Nine-Story Tower Trial, whenever he was on the verge of being unable to advance any further, he would always have an indescribable insight that allowed him to successfully overcome the difficulty.

Although I've experienced this many times before, seeing it again now is still incredibly shocking.

The junior sister was the same, staring wide-eyed with disbelief flashing in her already large eyes.

"This"

Even she, who was always proud, was speechless at this moment.

Xu Ran's actions were so numerous that even she, a genius among geniuses who had seen countless geniuses, had her opinion of Xu Ran advance to a new level.

Moreover, at a critical moment of life and death, the willingness to so boldly use one's own body to exchange for skills is a mindset that no one else can match.

after all.

If the outcome doesn't turn out as he expected, Xu Ran will face only one fate: death.

To know.

That last blow pierced straight through his heart. If his body didn't have the repair capabilities he imagined, even if he didn't die immediately, Xu Ran would only face a slow death!
Compared to the other two's surprise, the eldest brother's reaction was not as obvious, but he was also inwardly shocked.

Moreover, the shock he felt was even greater than that of his second senior brother and junior sister combined.

Having qualified to enter the nine-story giant tower's library, he had read all the ancient books within and knew inside stories unknown to others, making him arguably the most knowledgeable person in the Origin Realm at present.

but.

Xu Ran was born in a remote village where there were no cultivation methods. Before obtaining the Body Refining Manual, the villagers faced the problem of solving their basic needs for food and clothing.

In such an environment, let alone ancient books, there were probably no even the most common supernatural tales. The vast majority of people couldn't even read all the characters.

Therefore, Xu Ran had absolutely no idea about the specific functions of the morning glow and the moonlight.

Moreover, he also possesses the fully developed [Innate Saint Body] and innate energy.

The recovery effect of the Great Perfection [Innate Saint Body] alone is much better than the recovery effect of absorbing the morning glow and moonlight.

Therefore, even when Xu Ran is injured, he will not be able to perceive the extent of his physical recovery.

Even if something is perceived as amiss, it will be directly attributed to the Great Perfection of the [Innate Saint Body].

In other words.

Xu Ran dared to be struck in the heart by the bald man during the recent trial, trading his life for internal energy.

Such courage is extremely brave.

Even he, the senior disciple of the nine-story pagoda who has solved the problem of spiritual energy depletion in the near-ancient era, would not dare to take such a step.

Based on this alone, Xu Ran deserves the qualifications of a young god-king!

During the trial.

The bald man held a red-tasseled spear, staring wide-eyed at Xu Ran, the young god-king who had grasped the secret force from just two moves.

"As expected of someone whose existence as a young God-King was detected by the Nine-Story Tower, he has extraordinary courage!"

As the gatekeeper, he is also Xu Ran's opponent.

He knew very well that Xu Ran had no idea that his physical body possessed such terrifying regenerative abilities before this.

Otherwise, during the swordsmanship trial, Xu Ran, whose Great Perfection [Innate Saint Body] had not yet been sealed, could have been worn down by his terrifying physical regenerative abilities alone.

At that time, no one knew that Xu Ran had been absorbing the morning glow and moonlight to temper his physical body since the beginning of his life.

If I knew.

Just now, he certainly wouldn't have used hidden force directly because of Xu Ran's taunt.

This would not be enough to kill it directly; only a more powerful killing move could be used.

result.

This result was beyond his expectations. Xu Ran actually comprehended the hidden force during the battle. Moreover, even at the very beginning of his comprehension, he was able to directly affect things within a ten-foot radius around him!

Such talent is truly terrifying!
"clang--"

While the bald man was in shock, suddenly, a crisp metallic clang echoed through the arena.

Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see a tall iron spear in front of the bald man, and below the spear stood a thin, frail person.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Xu Ran.

He slowly raised his head, looked at the bald man who had blocked his way, and smiled slightly.

"You've been the one ambushing me all along, now it's my turn!"

"you"

The bald man was about to say something.

At this moment, a violent, slight tremor emanated from the shaft of the red-tasseled spear and quickly spread to both hands.

For a while.

The bald man didn't even have the strength to grab the red-tasseled spear.

With a clatter, the red-tasseled spear fell to the ground, leaving only the bald man staring in shock at the small, thin human who had appeared before him.

Xu Ran noticed the bald man's shock and laughed again.

"How's it going?! The feeling of that hidden force... does it feel good?"
