Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 405 Law!
As Xu Ran's rival, Baldy felt the changes most deeply.

As he brandished his red-tasseled spear, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

He never expected that Xu Ran's marksmanship would improve so much in such a short period of time.

To know.

Xu Ran had made great progress during his previous swordsmanship trials, which was expected.

After all, what he held in his hand was the sword that the sword immortal had worn all his life. Although it was just an ordinary iron sword made of black iron, it had long since developed its own intelligence beside the sword immortal.

Moreover, it contains various events from the sword immortal's growth.

Xu Ran must have entered the space of the iron sword, just like him, and comprehended the true sword intent of a sword immortal.

This explains why Xu Ran was able to defeat him so easily.

But now, the iron spear that Xu Ran holds in his hand is just an ordinary iron spear.

It is not the weapon of any great power or gun god, and it does not contain the gun intent of a great power.

So, how long has it been since Xu Ran went from someone who couldn't use a gun at all to where he is now?
He was already able to fight against the bald man, who was skilled in marksmanship, for a long time without being at a disadvantage!

This is already a master marksman.

How long has it been?

"Xu Ran, you are truly a genius!"

The bald man shouted loudly as he parried Xu Ran's swinging iron spear.

Xu Ran was not attracted by his voice at all, and taking advantage of the opportunity, he quickly adjusted his posture, holding the iron spear with great speed.

A bit of cold light arrived first, and then the gun shot out like a dragon!

I saw.

The slender Xu Ran gripped the iron spear tightly, like a white dragon, the spear tip gleaming coldly, and thrust it fiercely towards the bald man.

Although this spear technique appeared very immature and the move was not sophisticated enough, it was merely an ordinary thrust.

However, their indomitable spirit is not to be underestimated, and it can even make the timid feel fear!
The bald man was already in a daze when an unstoppable force suddenly pressed down on him. At the same time, a cold light pierced his eyes, making it impossible for him to open them.

Although he was momentarily dazed, he was, after all, the guardian of the nine-story tower, and he immediately regained his senses and took appropriate action.

He suddenly bent over, his waist parallel to the ground, using his red-tasseled spear to brace himself against the ground, thus dodging the cold light that was aimed at his eyes, and only then did he regain his vision.

The moment he opened his eyes, from the bald man's perspective, he saw a cold glint flash above him, just a hair's breadth away from his head.

"hiss!"

Although the bald man dodged it, he still felt a sharp pain.

The next moment, a blood-red arc appeared in his vision, and at the same time, a fishy smell filled the air.

Don't think about it.

This is how he was injured by Xu Ran's iron spear.

The instant the red arc appeared, a crack appeared on the bald man's cheek. The crack was neither too big nor too small, but it was about an inch long.

Moreover, the bleeding wasn't deep; it was just enough to cause some bleeding and wouldn't have any impact on the bald man.

but.

This is definitely something to be happy about for Xu Ran.

after all.

This was the first time he had injured the bald man since he entered the marksmanship trial, and it was an attack he initiated.

This means that Xu Ran's marksmanship is slowly approaching that of the bald man.

The three junior sisters who were watching Xu Ran's trial noticed a bloodstain on the bald man's cheek.

At the same time, Xu Ran gripped the iron spear tightly, hovering above the bald man. It was clear that Xu Ran's iron spear was only a hair's breadth away from the bald man's cheek.

Only when a gust of wind blows through the arena might the iron spear shake, and the cold iron spear actually touch the bald man's cheek.

"Xu Ran's marksmanship has improved too quickly. How long has it been, and he's already able to injure the bald guy?!"

The junior sister was shocked as always when she saw this scene. Even though she had seen it many times, she was still shocked and her eyes were full of disbelief.

"Xu Ran's spear technique is already very close to perfection. The iron spear he thrust at the bald man already shows the beginnings of spear intent!"

The second senior brother stared intently at Xu Ran's iron spear in the arena, his eyes filled with golden light, as if he were looking at a peerless treasure.

The eldest brother was the same; his eyes were filled with blue frost as he looked at Xu Ran as if he were looking at a peerless treasure.

,

at the same time.

"call out--"

A gust of wind swept across the arena, and Xu Ran, holding an iron spear, landed steadily on the ground.

A drop of blood stained the tip of the gun; it belonged to the bald man.

"Ah--"

The bald man with the slashed cheek also shouted in a low voice, straightened up with the help of the red-tasseled spear, and then turned to look at Xu Ran who had just landed.

"interesting!"

The bald man wiped the blood from his cheek and stared at Xu Ran with a fierce look in his eyes, as if he were looking at prey.

He existed within the nine-story tower for an unknown period of time.

Moreover, to become the guardian of this pass, he was also a master of all eighteen martial arts and weapons during his lifetime.

With the added blessing of the nine-story tower, his mastery of weapons and martial arts was already at a high level in any trial.

In other words.

Only those who have reached a high level of proficiency can pass the trial.

Therefore, he was very clear that even a person known as a genius would need decades to master a weapon in the Nine-Story Tower trial grounds, even with so much assistance.

However, Xu Ran, in less than an hour, had already mastered the spear technique to near perfection, and even faintly displayed the essence of spear fighting.

Even he had never seen such a being before.

"I thought I was the most outstanding genius since the birth of the Origin Realm, proficient in all eighteen martial arts and weapons, and that I would master cultivation in less than a month!"

As the bald man spoke, he planted his red-tasseled spear into the ground with a clang, and then a look of nostalgia appeared in his eyes as he continued talking to himself.

"As a result, not long after I became the guardian of the nine-story tower, a sword immortal appeared in the outside world!"

"There's nothing I can do; my swordsmanship talent has dropped a rank!"

At this point, Xu Ran roughly understood that the bald man was referring to the holder of the iron sword in the previous trial.

At the same time, Xu Ran did not expect that this bald man known as the gatekeeper would have such a powerful talent.

As for authenticity?

There's no reason for the bald man to lie about something like this.

Just as Xu Ran realized what was happening, the bald man opposite him suddenly became more aggressive, his eyes gleaming even brighter, and he looked at Xu Ran as if he were looking at prey.

"Today, you are the first person to enter this trial, and the only one in history!"

"You are the one who has shown me just how talented the geniuses in the outside world really are!"

"Now, let me test your true worth!"

After speaking, the bald man didn't hesitate for a moment. He yanked the red-tasseled spear stuck in the ground, his eyes sharp, and suddenly unleashed a fierce aura.

As this aura rose, his entire being merged with the spear in his hand, and an incomparably sharp aura burst forth from the bald man's body.

"You brat, let me test your mettle!"

The bald man shouted and brandished his spear. The spear blossomed, dense and numerous, like a death flower in full bloom, completely enveloping Xu Ran.

The gun flashed with a cold light, each glint seemingly capable of taking a life. Xu Ran felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this.

Simultaneously.

It was as if the air around him was compressed, and his whole body seemed to be frozen in place.

"This is...the intent of the spear!"

Xu Ran sensed this aura and murmured to himself.

Although this was Xu Ran's first time learning spear techniques, they were remarkably similar to sword techniques.

He has mastered the sword intent. Although the spear intent is not the same, the underlying concept is the same.

Therefore, he immediately recognized that this was the bald man's gun intent.

As for Xu Ran, he himself was unsure when he would be able to completely control his gun intent.

Although I have a general idea that I'm just one step away from taking control, I don't know when I'll be able to take that step completely.

This time.

The bald man decided to test his mettle and unleashed his gun, seeing it not only as a crisis but also as an opportunity for him!
Whether he can truly master the essence of the gun, whether he can pass the trial!

"Hoo!" Xu Ran took a deep breath, calming his slightly nervous heart. His face showed no sign of backing down. "Interesting!"

Thinking of this, Xu Ran instantly became excited, gripping the iron spear tightly in his hand, his eyes flashing with a determined light that was almost insane.

Simultaneously.

He closed his eyes and went through all the experience he had accumulated in this trial, as well as his profound understanding of marksmanship, in his mind. Marksmanship was second nature to Xu Ran.

next moment.

Xu Ran suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze meeting the eyes of the bald man who looked like he was eyeing his prey.

"boom--"

The immense pressure from both created bursts of sound as they exploded in the air.

"Om-"

next moment.

Xu Ran gripped the iron spear in his hand and, like lightning, attacked the bald man.

With his full power, the iron spear in his hand thrust out at an impeccable angle, as fast as lightning, with a force so immense it seemed capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks.

At the same time, the air whistled sharply as it was pierced by the gun barrel, mixing with the sound of the explosion that had occurred earlier.

The two figures, moving at great speed, collided violently in mid-air.

"boom--"

Immediately.

First, a loud bang was heard, followed by a huge cloud of dust.

However, the next moment.

“Puff——”

In the reflection amidst the dust, a slender figure could be seen, holding a massive iron spear.

The iron spear was precisely pressed against the bald man's throat. The tip of the spear trembled slightly, and the sound of dripping water could be heard from the tip.

Also reflected in the dust.

The bald man's red-tasseled spear was only a hair's breadth away from Xu Ran's chest, almost colliding with him.

The moment the reflection appeared in the dust, the entire arena fell into complete silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The three senior and junior disciples who were observing Xu Ran's trial held their breath, their eyes wide, unable to believe what they were seeing.

After a moment of silence, the second senior brother suddenly roared.

"He won! He won! Xu Ran really won!!!"

The junior sister's eyes also trembled as she spoke incredulously.

"Xu Ran, he defeated the Great Completion Spear Intent!"

Before delivering the final thrust, Xu Ran had not yet fully mastered the essence of spear technique.

As a result, the spear struck the bald man's throat squarely, and blood dripped from the tip onto the ground, leaving no chance of turning the tide!
Not long after.

As the dust settled, the scene reflected in the mirror was perfectly replicated before everyone's eyes, without any surprises.

Seeing this, Xu Ran slowly withdrew his iron spear, a relieved smile appearing on his face. Sweat slid down his cheeks and evaporated instantly on the scorching ground.

At this moment, he stood in the arena, his iron spear gleaming with the light of a victor, his eyes filled with joy and pride, as if he had accomplished an impossible feat.

The bald, powerful man stood frozen in place, his eyes filled with disbelief and admiration.

[Gunplay Trial Completed]

At that moment, a voice devoid of any emotion rang out.

at the same time.

The bald man, whose throat had been pierced, opened his eyes wide.

With a loud thud, the sound of metal falling to the ground could be heard.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw that the iron spear that had been stuck in the bald man's throat had fallen out.

"not bad!"

At that moment, the bald man's voice rang out.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I noticed that the huge wound on his throat had healed sometime during the night.

His face showed great satisfaction.

It felt just like the intense satisfaction of having Xu Ran shove it into my throat.

To be honest, even the bald guy didn't expect that he would crash and burn at the last moment.

In that shot just now.

When Xu Ran thrust out the iron spear, he had not yet mastered the spear technique; he was still just one step away from it.

Just when the bald man thought he had the victory in the bag.

result.

A violent aura erupted, directly destroying his spear intent, causing it to completely disappear.

This is equivalent to the bald man standing defenselessly in front of Xu Ran, allowing him to stab him at will with his iron spear.

This is the truth behind why Xu Ran pierced his throat.

"That aura just now was the intent of a spear?!"

The bald man stared at Xu Ran, his tone full of questions.

That aura was far too powerful compared to the spear intent that had just been perfected.

It doesn't match the power of a newly mastered spear intent at all.

That's why the bald guy would ask such a question; it's just too bizarre.

Xu Ran nodded.

"That's right!"

Xu Ran did indeed comprehend the spear intent at the very last moment.

However, his spear intent also incorporated sword intent.

That is why he was able to master the spear intent at the last moment!
