Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 403 Head Gone!

Upon hearing Xu Ran's voice and sensing the unusual sensation beneath his feet, the bald man looked down at the soles of his feet.

Find.

There was nothing under his feet, yet it felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making him unable to move and unable to feel any weight.

"This is."

Even someone as knowledgeable as Baldy was stunned for a moment after witnessing this bizarre scene, his mind replaying the supernatural powers and things related to it.

However, it was discovered that no supernatural powers were related to this characteristic.

Suddenly, the bald man panicked.

She immediately looked up at Xu Ran, her eyes trembling, and a slightly trembling voice came from her throat, like the creaking of an old wooden door that had been neglected for many years.

"What's this?"

The voice just fell.

Xu Ran, holding the several-hundred-pound iron spear in both hands, slammed it down from the sky.

"boom--"

Immediately, a loud bang resounded in the arena, and dust billowed up, creating a massive wave of dust, like a tsunami, centered on the bald man's body.

"Whoohoo-"

The sound of these giant waves of dust instantly drowned out the sound the bald man had just made.

This shockwave even swept over the three senior and junior disciples who were observing Xu Ran's trial.

Suddenly, a black flame rose up in front of them, and this black flame enveloped them layer by layer.

The massive waves of dust that swept in were completely kept out.

The sudden burst of black flames protected the three of them, shielding them from the dust and waves.

If others were engulfed in the black flames, they would be surprised to discover this.

Outside this layer of black flames, which protects itself very well, is another layer of constantly burning black flames.

Its intense heat melted and distorted the surrounding air.

Furthermore, the massive waves of dust that swept towards the layer of black flames were evaporated the instant they touched the flames.

The exterior is not where the black flames are truly astonishing.

On the contrary, it was his internal affairs.

All I saw was...
Inside the black flames, it is completely transparent.

Those enveloped within it can see everything happening around them without any obstruction; the black flames that supposedly isolate them from the outside world do not exist.

Furthermore, no temperature can be sensed within it.

It is clear.

The junior sister and senior brother were not at all surprised by this environment.

"Second Senior Brother, your control over the black flames is getting better and better. I'm afraid you're only one step away from becoming a Great Power."

Junior Sister's voice echoed in the white space.

That's right.

The creator of this black flame was none other than the second senior brother, who possessed the Black Flame Body.

As someone with a body of black flames, it's normal for him to be able to control black flames.

However, for someone with a special physique like the Black Flame Body, achieving this is also extremely difficult.

"They say it's just one step away, but when we'll be able to take that step, we don't know."

The second senior brother answered somewhat sadly, and the next moment, the scene shifted to Xu Ran and the bald man in the arena.

"Where does this gravitational suppression come from?"

The second senior brother's face was full of doubt.

Gravity suppression, this supernatural power, can be said to be very common, even somewhat ordinary.

Of course, some of these supernatural abilities related to gravity suppression are equally terrifying.

In ancient times, there was a great being who devoted his entire life to cultivating only the supernatural power of gravity suppression. In the end, at the end of the Great Dao, he successfully attained enlightenment.

The gravitational suppression after attaining enlightenment is extremely terrifying; it can even easily attach the weight of a mountain to a single grain of sand.

Imagine you are fighting an enemy, and a grain of sand flies past you. When you ignore it, the grain of sand seems to lightly touch your body.

In reality, it's like a huge mountain pressing down on you.

This is just one grain of sand; what if there were millions of grains of sand?

What if it's attached not to a grain of sand, but to some other substance?
in fact.

This is not the point.

The point is.

Gravity suppression, this supernatural power, is very common.

but.

The current situation is.

Where did Xu Ran get this gravity suppression from?
Let's set aside whether Xu Ran used the gravity suppression technique before.

In this trial, apart from marksmanship and basic movement skills, all other abilities were sealed by the power of the nine-story tower.

Even if Xu Ran had previously been able to suppress gravity, under the seal of the nine-story giant tower, he couldn't unleash its full potential.

If that's the case, then it couldn't possibly be Xu Ran's own supernatural power.

Besides this possibility, there is only one other possibility left: external objects.

Among the items Xu Ran possesses, the one capable of triggering gravity suppression is the only possibility in the trial of the nine-story tower.

Think of this.

The three of them scanned Xu Ran from head to toe. Xu Ran was not tall and was not even two years old, so they could quickly take him in at a glance.

Although the clothes he was wearing were made of tiger skin, the tiger skin was only from a tiger demon that had just become a demon beast, and it was impossible for it to contain any other supernatural powers.

If.

Xu Ran was wearing the complete tiger skin that belonged to the powerful tiger demon after its fall. Only if this powerful tiger demon had mastered the supernatural power of gravity suppression could it possess the supernatural power of gravity suppression.

Apart from that, Xu Ran was only wearing an ordinary tiger skin.

This possibility was quickly ruled out by the three of them.

Let alone the fact that Xu Ran's clothes were made of ordinary fabric, and let alone the fact that Xu Ran's family was just a hunting family.

Before Xu Ran appeared, Xu Binghu and Lian Ji lived a very frugal life.

Under such circumstances, how could there possibly be a tiger skin left behind by a fallen powerful tiger demon?

Therefore, the clothes she was wearing were not either.

After looking at it from all angles, there's only one possibility left.

That was the iron spear that Xu Ran was holding in his hand at that moment.

Simultaneously.

In the arena.

soon.

The huge cloud of dust that Xu Ran had just created was slowly dissipating.

Simultaneously.

Amidst the dust, a tall figure slowly emerged.

The figure held a gun in his hand, and with each step he took, the ground trembled slightly.

Xu Ran recognized the figure immediately; it was bald.

soon.

The figure emerged from the dust; it was indeed bald.

However, at this moment...

His entire body was covered in scars, from which blood flowed.

Simultaneously.

One of the red hairs on the red-tasseled spear in his hand had disappeared.

Even the sharpest point of the red-tasseled spear had a chipped tip.

This shows just how much of an impact the bald man had suffered.

Even the red-tasseled spear was damaged. However, the bald man, who had just emerged from the dust, was completely unconcerned about his injuries, ignored the blood that was flowing out, and had no time to look at the damaged red-tasseled spear.

His gaze remained fixed on Xu Ran, who was not far away, his eyes filled with doubt.

"How did you do that?"

After a long while, the bald man's hoarse voice rang out.

"Is that what you're talking about?"

After Xu Ran finished speaking, his tender right foot stomped on the ground. Instantly, the dust on the ground floated in the air, and at the same time, an invisible pressure came from under Xu Ran's feet and rushed towards the bald man.

This time.

The bald man, who was already on guard, lightly leaped into the air without making a sound, easily dodging the invisible gravitational pressure that was coming at him.

But when he saw the dust floating in the air, his eyes widened in shock. His already enormous body, without any control, fell like a weight of hundreds of pounds with a loud 'boom'.

After seeing this, the bald man understood how Xu Ran had managed to do this.

"Hidden strength!~!"

The bald man slowly uttered those two words.

"The reaction was pretty quick!"

Xu Ran did not deny it.

If there's no denial, then it's an affirmation.

The gravity suppression that has just appeared is a supernatural power that extends from the hidden force.

The news quickly reached the ears of the three senior and junior students who were observing what Xu Ran was doing.

Upon hearing this news, the junior sister's eyes widened in surprise.

Upon hearing this warning, the second senior brother, who controlled the black flames, felt the black flames enveloping them begin to flutter incessantly, as if constantly being blown by the wind.

Of the three, only the eldest brother appeared relatively calm.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see that the senior brother's fingers are trembling incessantly, clearly indicating that he too is shocked.

"Ah!"

The bald man, having understood the situation, snorted coldly.

"In the countless years of the Origin Realm, no one had discovered the hidden force, yet it has such a use, and you discovered it just like that?!"

The bald man's tone was incredibly shocking.

Since the emergence of internal energy, countless years have passed.

Throughout countless years, countless geniuses have wielded this power, including many renowned figures recorded in ancient texts.

but.

Even those renowned geniuses hadn't discovered this application of hidden strength, which shows just how terrifying Xu Ran's talent truly is.

soon.

The bald man cleared his mind of all distractions and looked at Xu Ran again.

Do you have any other cards to play?

The gravity suppression technique isn't actually very useful.

Even a real mountain, pressing down on the enemy, would be quickly broken through.

The reason the bald man was in such a sorry state was mainly due to Xu Ran's unexpected gravity suppression technique. He hadn't anticipated being caught off guard and was caught off guard.

However, having taken precautions, the bald man won't fall for it again.

He laid the red-tasseled spear flat in front of him, stroked it up and down with his hand, and finally stopped his hand on the broken tip of the spear.

"This is the testing ground for marksmanship. If you want to pass, you'll have to use your marksmanship!"

Say it.

The bald man's hands spun rapidly, and then the red-tasseled spear danced in his hands in a perfect flourish.

next moment.

The bald man's figure vanished from the spot like a gust of wind, and then a huge figure suddenly appeared in the air.

The bald man appeared like a black lightning bolt.

When he reappeared, he continuously wielded his spear. Under his precise control, the spear shadows were dense and impenetrable, like a black curtain that pressed down on Xu Ran.

At this moment, Xu Ran was not basking in the joy of having just successfully defeated the bald man; on the contrary, his nerves were constantly on edge.

He realized what had happened as soon as the bald man disappeared and then reappeared.

The dense, impenetrable red-tasseled spears kept attacking him.

Immediately, Xu Ran parried the iron spear in his hand and swung it back.

"clang--"

"clang--"

"clang--"

"clang--"

"."

Countless metallic clanging sounds echoed through the arena, each sound accompanied by a burst of sparks in the air.

even though.

Xu Ran reacted very quickly, spotting the bald man immediately and responding in the fastest way possible.

but.

This was his first time encountering marksmanship, unlike swordsmanship, where he had at least some basic knowledge of the [Immortal Sword Technique].

Moreover, this iron spear is simply too big.

Even though Xu Ran could easily dance with it, Xu Ran is only less than two years old.

No matter how strong Xu Ran is, his body is only that small.

The entire iron spear was as tall as three Xu Rans.

Even if Xu Ran could dance with it, it would be extremely difficult, not nearly as smooth as the bald man's movements.

Moreover, this time, the bald man completely avoided using hidden force when wielding the red-tasseled spear, rendering Xu Ran's newly comprehended technique useless.

and so.

From the moment the two sides made contact, Xu Ran was at a disadvantage.

Moreover, they were caught off guard by the bald man's sudden and fierce attack.

At first, I was able to keep my footing steady. Although I stumbled slightly backward, it wasn't a big problem.

However, as the two sides spent more time together, the differences became apparent.

I saw.

Xu Ran's initially steady footwork gradually became chaotic, and he retreated step by step.

Moreover, the backward steps grew larger and larger, even kicking up dust from the ground.

"clang--"

Sudden.

A shadow tinged with red suddenly lunged at him.

Xu Ran subconsciously tilted his head to one side, and at the same time, he used both hands to swing the iron spear, hitting the approaching shadow.

"clang--"

A similar crisp metallic expansion sound rang out.

I saw.

A red line of blood also appeared on Xu Ran's face.

Beside the bloodline, there was a shadow with a touch of red. Upon closer inspection, it was the red-tasseled spear controlled by the bald man.

The bald man's red-tasseled spear broke through Xu Ran's iron spear defense.

If Xu Ran hadn't reacted quickly enough and used every means to turn the iron spear around, the tip of the spear would have touched the shaft of the red-tasseled spear.

It was this crucial external force that caused the red-tasseled spear to lose its aim, which is why Xu Ran only suffered a scar on his cheek.

otherwise.

That means the whole head is going to be gone!
