Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 410 God

"The essence of staff fighting lies in the unity of man and staff!"

The eldest brother said the same thing as Xu Ran.

"This is something I saw in the study of the nine-story giant tower." The senior brother stared at Xu Ran in surprise.

Before becoming the senior disciple of the Nine-Story Giant Pagoda, he only believed that the highest level of staff techniques was to comprehend the essence of the staff.

But when he became the senior disciple of the Nine-Story Giant Pagoda, he discovered that the book recorded that above the intent of the staff, there was another realm, which was the unity of man and staff.

To achieve perfect harmony between man and staff, one needs not only exceptional talent but also a profound understanding of staff techniques, reaching an unparalleled level. Only then can one have the opportunity to comprehend the unity of man and staff.

Such an opportunity is extremely rare; very few people in the entire history of the Origin Realm have achieved this level of success.

Even now, facing the monkey opposite Xu Ran, he hasn't grasped the state of being one with the staff.

To know.

This monkey's staff skills rank among the top three in the entire history of the Origin Realm.

Moreover, their ferocious and life-or-death fighting style is even more awe-inspiring.

Even so, it still failed to grasp the unity of man and stick.

The reason why the unity of man and staff is the highest level in staff techniques is that.

The main point is that when fighting an enemy, the enemy's primary target is the person themselves, not the stick.

However, the purpose of the unity of man and stick is that the man's body can move along with the movement of the stick.

Xu Ran just quickly shifted his body in this way, thus dodging the monkey's blow aimed straight at his head!
Meanwhile, the junior sister listened attentively to her senior brother's explanation.

Simultaneously.

On this side of the trial arena.

Xu Ran slammed the wooden stick he was holding into the monkey's chest with tremendous force, causing its chest to cave in.

Simultaneously.

The blow the monkey landed on Xu Ran's shoulder was also quite painful.

Blood gushed out like a fountain, instantly soaking his entire shoulder red.

Therefore, it is clear that if this blow had landed on Xu Ran's head, the result would likely have been an explosion!
At this moment, the monkey grinned, revealing its jagged teeth, and stared at Xu Ran with bloodshot eyes.

This time, its eyes held not only rage and the fury of a raging king, but also a hint of jealousy.

Simultaneously.

A look of confusion appeared on its face.

Back then, it was the most powerful staff technique in the Origin Realm, and even now, it still ranks among the top three in the history of the Origin Realm.

But even such a being has never been able to grasp the highest level of staff techniques, the unity of man and staff!

even though.

Whether or not it comprehends the unity of man and staff is unimportant to it, and it doesn't even increase its combat power.

But that's precisely why people's jealousy can swell infinitely when they see others obtain what they cannot.

The same applies to monkeys, and perhaps even more so!

as predicted.

When it saw Xu Ran dodge its stick technique, it knew that the child in front of it, who was not even two years old, had already grasped the concept of man and stick as one.

All of a sudden.

The jealousy in its heart grew infinitely and instantly filled its entire heart.

"Bah!"

The furious monkey stomped its feet on the ground, and the immense force propelled it into the air, its body parallel to the ground.

next moment.

The monkey's feet seemed to have eyes, and it stomped twice hard on Xu Ran's chest.

The immense force propelled its body away from Xu Ran's wooden stick.

While in the air, his already sunken chest seemed to inflate as if filled with air, and then he landed steadily on the ground.

Seeing this, Xu Ran did not make any attempt to organize the situation.

"call--"

With each breath, the bleeding from his shoulder, which had been gushing blood, stopped.

At this moment, Xu Ran's gaze was quite calm.

He knew that it wouldn't be long before the two sides clashed.

At such a crucial moment, getting into the right mindset is the most important thing.

really.

In the instant Xu Ran's shoulder had recovered, the monkey grabbed a wooden stick and attacked Xu Ran with lightning speed.

In the blink of an eye, it had arrived beside Xu Ran.

Xu Ran, who was prepared in advance, noticed the monkey's movements immediately.

The moment he set off, Xu Ran also grabbed a wooden stick and charged straight toward the direction from which the monkey was attacking.

Judging from their recent exchange, Xu Ran is now able to take the initiative and exchange blows with the monkey.

The monkey's strength and stick skills no longer hold any advantage.

not to mention.

Xu Ran has now also mastered the unity of man and stick.

Such a level of mastery of the staff technique grants his body endless possibilities.

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

"."

In the blink of an eye, Xu Ran and the monkey had already exchanged over a hundred blows.

During this time, the monkey's attacks became increasingly frenzied. It constantly changed its attack methods, trying to break through Xu Ran's defenses. Each attack was carried with a do-or-die spirit, as if it wanted to tear Xu Ran apart.

However, relying on the essence of the staff technique he had just mastered, Xu Ran skillfully defused the crisis time and time again. The wooden staff spun nimbly in his hands, as if it were his own arm, blocking the monkey's attacks one by one.

At the same time, combined with the newly mastered unity of man and staff, the monkey's attacks, though seemingly incredibly fierce, could not cause any damage to Xu Ran.

On the contrary, it is the monkey's own physical strength and power that are being consumed. With this ebb and flow, the monkey's advantage will become weaker and weaker.

"Ok?"

suddenly.

Xu Ran, who was defending, noticed that the monkey's staff technique had changed and become more complex.

Swing the stick.

Barrel.

Picking sticks.

Chopping stick.

Broomstick. Pokestick.

Several staff techniques combined, like a hail of bullets, came hurtling towards Xu Ran's face.

Upon seeing this, Xu Ran's aura surged, and at the same time, the wooden stick he was wielding increased in speed, deflecting the monkey's attacks one by one.

The monkey's sudden change of speed almost caused Xu Ran to reveal a weakness, but fortunately he was focused enough to prevent the monkey from taking advantage of him.

"Its new moves may seem complicated, but they are actually variations of its original attacks."

Having a chance to catch his breath, Xu Ran carefully observed each of the monkey's stick strikes, while constantly rehearsing them in his mind.

"Compared to the previous stick techniques, this one is much more complex, but as long as we find its weaknesses, we can break it!"

at this time.

Xu Ran's mind began to work at lightning speed. The image of the monkey in his mind was constantly being broken down into frame by frame, and every detail of its movements was clearly recorded in his mind.

Xu Ran, like a magnifying glass, carefully observed every move of the monkey's staff technique, trying to find its weaknesses.

even though.

The process of breaking down the stick technique was constantly in my mind.

However, his staff techniques became faster and faster, and his use of power became more and more skillful. Every swing of the staff was imbued with a powerful aura, an aura that seemed capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, leaving people in awe!

"Xu Ran is truly a genius who can multitask!"

The second senior brother stared at Xu Ran, who was undergoing the trial, and couldn't help but sigh.

"This is insane! Xu Ran's mental power has immense potential. To be able to multitask without any mental power cultivation is terrifying, absolutely terrifying!!"

As a cultivator specializing in mental power, the junior sister knew very well that to be able to multitask, one needed extremely strong mental power potential.

This is not something that can be achieved simply by having high mental strength; it requires extremely strong talent.

This means that Xu Ran's talent in mental power is probably no less than hers!

Geniuses who can multitask are rare, but Xu Ran is one of the best among them.

To be able to fight to the death with a figure like the Monkey King, who is only recorded in ancient books, and to be able to multitask to this extent, I wonder if Xu Ran believes in his talent or is just incredibly bold?!
"Xu Ran's staff skills are becoming more and more refined. He's probably not far from passing the level!"

The second senior brother couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

As a genius who specialized in physical cultivation, he believed he had been ruthless enough to himself in the harsh environment of the late ancient times.

He used every means to squeeze out his physical talent to reach his current level of cultivation, enduring countless hardships along the way.

result.

Even with her own experiences, it seemed like nothing compared to Xu Ran's.

Let me just mention one point.

He dared not multitask in such a critical moment, confronting the monkey while analyzing its staff techniques in his mind!
To the astonishment of the three!
The monkeys, whose speed and strength were increasing, launched another fierce attack.

Seizing the opportunity, it leaped high into the air, its wooden stick whistling through the air with a force that seemed to cut through the wind.

As it leaped into the air, the bluestone beneath it was instantly crushed into dust. The immense force propelled its body high into the sky, crashing down towards Xu Ran's head, the air compressed and producing a sharp, explosive sound.

"Perfect timing!" Xu Ran, who was multitasking, was delighted to see the monkey change its tactics. "This is precisely its weakness. When it leaps, its center of gravity is unstable, and there will inevitably be an opening after it attacks!"

In his mind, Xu Ran continuously analyzed the trajectory of each of the monkey's attacks, and the deviation of each attack when it landed. The deviation was accurate to the millimeter.

As Xu Ran analyzed the monkey frame by frame in his mind, he discovered that everything about the monkey seemed to be perfect.

But in reality, its legs have a weakness.

Every time its feet leave the ground, its center of gravity shifts momentarily.

Although the reason for this is unknown, it is indeed its weakness.

When Xu Ran first discovered it, he couldn't believe it.

After all, a powerful figure in the eyes of outsiders, even if not a living one, is still a being with extremely high cultivation.

How could something like this have such a basic flaw?
While thinking.

The monkey's figure had already covered Xu Ran's body. He quickly looked up and saw that the monkey's wooden stick was ready. Its terrifying power caused space above his head to distort.

"Hoo!" Xu Ran let out a long breath, and for a moment, a resolute look flashed in his eyes.

Then, he suddenly turned to the side, simultaneously flicking the wooden stick in his hand upwards.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Ran's wooden stick collided with the monkey's wooden stick, and the force generated created a shockwave that dispersed the surrounding mist.

At that moment, Xu Ran precisely deflected the monkey's attack. Immediately afterwards, he took a step forward and swept his wooden stick out, aiming directly at the monkey's waist.

The waist is an extremely important body part for any living creature, connecting the upper and lower body.

The monkey's weakness is its unstable lower body. Although the reason for this is unknown, attacking its waist can interrupt its attack and even seriously injure it.

Although Xu Ran's tactics were excellent, the enemy in front of him was not simple either.

The monkey reacted quickly, its body spinning nimbly in the air like a top, avoiding the attack.

But Xu Ran did not stop there; he launched a series of attacks.

"Staff techniques emphasize continuous attacks, giving the opponent no chance to breathe!" Xu Ran silently recited in his mind. His wooden staff moved like a dragon emerging from the sea, launching a continuous offensive. Each attack was aimed at the monkey's lower body.

The afterimages created by the extremely fast-moving wooden sticks wove together in the air to form a large net, trapping the monkey within and making it difficult for it to escape!

Under this fierce attack, the monkey began to struggle and was hit several more times.

Each hit was accompanied by a muffled thud and the monkey's groan.

Moreover, these attacks all struck its weak point precisely at the waist!
These repeated attacks further reduced its already thinned fur.

At this moment, the monkey looks completely comical, like a hairless cat.

"Xu Ran has completely taken control of the rhythm!"

The second senior brother, standing off the field, was quite excited to see Xu Ran's staff skills!

"At this pace, victory is not far away!"

The eldest brother also made a judgment.

At Xu Ran's current pace, barring any unforeseen circumstances, victory is only a matter of time!
With each strike of his staff, Xu Ran's confidence grew stronger!
“I have mastered the rhythm of the staff technique. Now it’s time to end this battle.” Xu Ran gripped the wooden staff tightly. “Every swing must be made with all the strength and will of my body.”

although.

Xu Ran had already analyzed the flaws in the monkey staff technique in his mind, but his understanding of the staff technique was also constantly deepening.

At this moment, he felt that he had established a wonderful connection with the wooden stick in his hand, as if the stick was a part of his body. He could feel the stick vibrating and exerting force in sync with his heartbeat.

Every movement he made was full of power and skill, every attack carried an indomitable momentum, and he exuded a powerful aura with an unwavering determination to win, which shocked everyone present.

"what!"

"what!"

"what!"

"what!"

"."

Although the monkey was still putting up a stubborn resistance, Xu Ran's wooden stick struck its waist with each blow, and its movements began to slow down. Even each swing of the stick became slower, as it struggled to keep up and was panting heavily.

not only that.

The red light in its eyes gradually faded.

Everything was foreshadowing that the monkey would be utterly defeated in the next moment!
