Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 48: Talisman God of Resentment: Is it my turn next? This high-end game? [ words]

"Something's wrong! The more I think about it, the more wrong it seems!"

The headmaster looked at Xu Ran carefully and began to feel suspicious.

The "unbearable" experience of a year ago came back to mind. That was the third outbreak of the Guhuo Chan.

He and the other three instructors were the first to notice the birth of sixteen Guhuo minions. After the four of them assigned tasks, he wiped out the other three in just twenty seconds. However, near the lake where Xu Ran was teaching the geniuses their skills... one Guhuo minion mysteriously disappeared! Not even a trace was left.

He was completely baffled at the time, believing the emergence of a high-level ghost creature with invincible lurking abilities. To prevent the students from being harmed, he spent two months without sleep, patrolling the campus most of the night...

Restrains ghost creatures + destroys them completely without leaving any pollution.

This method seems more and more familiar the more I see it.

If it wasn’t Xu Ran who did it, then who did it?
Good boy, are you trying to secretly increase the strength of a 200-year-old man like me?

The headmaster pressed Xu Ran's shoulder and said, "Xiao Ran, let me ask you something. Do you remember that time when a Guhuo minions suddenly disappeared at the bottom of the lake and I couldn't sleep for two months?"

Xu Ran pretended to be dumbfounded: "...I don't know, Principal, I'm a little sleepy..."

The headmaster said, "But that time, the Guhuo's accomplice was also wiped clean, without any stain left. It looked almost identical to the Nightmare Mother after she was killed!"

"This moment is just like that moment. How can they be so similar?"

Xu Ran smiled slightly: "...I don't know."

Seeing Xu Ran's expression, not only the director, but also Ye Ping, Huang Liang and others beside him, all understood the real culprit.

There is no doubt that there is only one murderer - that is Xu Ran.

The headmaster rubbed Xu Ran's head meaningfully: "Okay, okay...you kid..."

The headmaster sighed. What could he do? He couldn't blame the child.

"I guess you might not feel safe, but safety is guaranteed in the park, right?"

"Of course, it's not wrong for you to hide some of your strength. The world today is too dangerous. Don't trust others easily. When you meet people, only say 70% of what you say, and keep 30% of your strength."

Hearing the headmaster's words, Xu Ran smiled.

In fact, he was not hiding his skills on purpose, but in the current situation, showing only 50% was enough and he didn't need to show more.

So why overdo it?
Wouldn't it be better to give other geniuses more opportunities to show off so that we can show off together?

Xu Ran: "I understand, Principal."

The headmaster nodded and said, "Okay, it's already three in the morning. Take the children back and get some rest! If there's anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow."

"The Nightmare Mother has been completely destroyed, don't worry!"

The other mothers waved goodbye.

Xu Ran also planned to leave.

Yuheng's mother and Zhu Yuheng came to say goodbye: "Goodbye, Xiaoran."

Xu Ran: "Goodbye."

Hu Niu: "Brother Xiao Ran, goodbye. Aunt Lin, goodbye."

Xu Ran: "Goodbye."

Zhao Ying: "Xiao Ran, where are you going to teach us the art of invisibility tomorrow?"

Xu Ran pondered: "In front of the library, on the lawn next to the artificial lake."

That artificial lake is where the headmaster nearly lost his reputation in his later years... It's also where Hu Niu, Zhu Yuheng, Feng Yan, Bian Yue, Bie Jingqiu, and Zhuge Huangjin practiced their skills every day.

Zhao Ying: "Okay, Teacher Xiao Ran."

Zhao Ying had the temperament of a playboy. He saluted Xu Ran to show his respect.

Xu Ran: "...I can teach you, but I don't know if you can learn it."

Huang Liang smiled slightly and said, "The reason we can't learn it is because we are too poorly qualified. It has nothing to do with the teacher."

Xu Ran nodded: "I will do my best to teach you."

talking.

He waved goodbye to the headmaster, Uncle Ye, Huang Liang, Zhao Ying, Gao Yuan and others, then turned around and went home with his mother.

……

Watch Xu Ran leave.

The director put his hands on his hips, with a look of false modesty on his face. "Well... in two and a half years, the national selection competition for the God-Slaying Squad will be held in Jing City. What do you think, can Jing City achieve another success?"

Ye Ping said without hesitation: "Xiao Ran can compete for the first place. As for Liuli, Yuheng, Bian Yue, Bie Jingqiu, Feng Yan... Their current body movements are all somewhat incredible. I estimate that this group of geniuses will occupy the top 50."

"Their only shortcoming is their young age. By participating in the ten-year-old group, they have two years less training than them."

Zhao Ying: “…Ah?”

Gao Yuan: “…Ah?”

Huang Liang: “…Ah?”

"Can Xu Ran compete for first place?"

Ye Ping: "Yeah! There's a great chance! Even if others have practiced for two years longer than him, I think he can ignore the difference of these two years."

"what?"

Ye Ping chuckled: "Believe it or not, you'll see it all in two years."

His confidence in Xu Ran is unbreakable.

"I underestimated him. Xiao Ran relied on his innate aptitude to first comprehend the Mysterious Steps. Then Xiao Liuli secretly learned the rudiments of it one day."

"From then on, these geniuses all learned body movements from Xiao Ran. What's even more amazing is that under Xiao Ran's guidance, each of them developed their own unique mystical footwork."

"After a while, I can't imagine what Xiao Ran will teach me!"

Huang Liang, Zhao Ying, and Gao Yuan all said in unison, "...Ah?"

Seeing everyone's astonishment, Ye Ping spread his hands and said, "There's nothing I can do. This is just the nature of my comprehension."

The three of them looked at each other.

Huang Liang: "Now that Brother Ping said that, I'm starting to look forward to the selection competition in two and a half years."

Zhao Ying twisted her neck and said, "I haven't thought that far. Right now I just want to learn the art of invisibility."

aside.

The head teacher smiled throughout the whole process. He did not participate in the conversation because at this time, he did not need to speak. He just needed to enjoy the joy of the moment.

Listening to a group of Yue realm masters praising their students is a refreshing feeling that most people cannot experience!

enjoy.

Enjoyed it so much.

In the selection competition two and a half years from now, if the Demigod Kindergarten in Jing City can win the championship under the leadership of Xiao Ran, and the other six geniuses are among the top 50, he will enjoy it even more!
Think of this.

The headmaster had his hands behind his back, his eyes deep, as if he had already seen himself standing on the podium, an old man with the youthful vigor.

"Good good."

The headmaster's mouth was hard to suppress.

Suddenly, Ye Ping remembered something: "Oh right, the matter of strange talismans must be taken seriously. In the next few days, please help me to eliminate the strange statues that can create strange talismans around Jing City."

Huang Liang raised an eyebrow. "Oh, is it the strange talisman reported the day before yesterday? The cleanup teams and investigation teams in various cities are already taking action. This thing is quite dangerous. An investigation team discovered it half a year ago, but surprisingly, they didn't take it seriously."

Ye Ping: "I always have a premonition - strange talismans are very dangerous. And the potential threat is huge. Maybe there is a resentful god behind it."

Zhao Ying: "Huh? Is it that exaggerated?"

Ye Ping nodded: "Perhaps. In short, I think we must completely eliminate these strange talismans."

"Of course, if I want to escalate the severity of this matter, I can't rely on my intuition. I have to continue investigating and gather enough evidence before raising the risk factor of the strange talisman."

Gao Yuan: "No problem, we'll help you."

Huang Liang: "No matter if it's a big problem or a small one, as long as it involves something strange, we'll crush it with all our might. In short, the selection competition in two and a half years, absolutely nothing can go wrong! That's a grand event where all the geniuses from all over the country gather."

Ye Ping smiled bitterly: "It is precisely because geniuses from all over the country have gathered here that I have a bad feeling..."

……

the other side.

Xu Ran and his mother walked back to their residence one step at a time.

"Baby, I never thought that the origami you play with every day could become real if you smeared it with blood! How did you figure that out?"

Xu Ran: "Mom gave birth to me well."

My mother laughed so hard she fell forward and backward: "Hahaha, who did you learn this from? Your little mouth is so sweet?"

Xu Ran: "Mom taught me well."

Mom: “…”

She fell silent and began to recall the unusual things that happened in the past.

"I remember you practiced darts every day without fail. Does darts have any special changes?"

"And swimming and feeding the animals..."

"I remember you pretended to be dead once. Could that be a unique skill as well?"

"I even remember that when I was very young, I always felt that there was something dirty crawling on the ceiling in the house. Is that you?"

"Also, reading, reading is a must!"

Xu Ran: “…”

Well, women’s sixth sense is really accurate, and they started to connect the dots right away.

However, he chose to be stubborn: "Swimming is exercise, darts are indeed powerful, and the more unique one is origami. The rest is pure fun."

Mom looked at Xu Ran doubtfully: "Really?"

Xu Ran: "Really? I can't be a jack of all trades, right?"

Mom: "I don't believe you, you are definitely a genius."

Xu Ran spread his hands: "I'm really not a jack of all trades."

Mom: "Forget it, forget it. The stronger you are, the more reassured I am. However, when I think about your future opponents being true gods, I start to worry again."

Xu Ran smiled warmly: "Don't worry, Mom, even if they are gods, I will crush them to pieces."

He has never forgotten his original intention and has been moving towards the goal of crushing all enemies.

Mom: "...In short, no matter what, remember to protect yourself."

Xu Ran solemnly promised: "I will, Mom."

Mom: “We’re home.”

Go back home and wash up.

"Lie" on the ceiling.

On one side is progress +1... progress +1...

the other side.

Xu Ran was playing with the red gold treasure pigeon egg, but unfortunately he couldn't see through the fog inside.

"Is this the red gold treasure? Can the Riddler please just go away?"

"Oh, it seems I can only wait and explore it slowly later."

Anyway, the red gold treasure is already in hand, so there is no need to panic at all.

Thinking of this, Xu Ran nodded and looked towards his first red gold achievement in life, [Twilight of the Gods]...

"The increase is quite good. Both mental strength and health are +5 points per day..."

"The key is that my fortune has skyrocketed by 100 points! I also gained a purification spell. From now on, as long as I kill gods, I will be able to continuously obtain the essence of divinity."

The achievement of red gold lives up to its reputation!
Who would have thought that he, who was born with only 3 points of fortune, would unknowingly have accumulated 213 points of fortune!

You only need to get [Young Supreme] to reach 293 points, and then [Heavenly Appearance], +5 points per year.

300 points is just around the corner!
Xu Ran took a deep breath: "The Guhuochan incident has come to an end..."

"For the next year and a half, my main focus will be self-discipline. The fourth-order magical skills are the most invincible."

"During this time, you can take the time to obtain the two golden achievements [Young Supreme] and [Burning Killing Heart]. They are both golden achievements, so don't miss them."

"Oh right, there's also the Talisman Resentful God... I'll disgust it a few times when I have time. Maybe even kill it."

"It's definitely not a grudge, but a desire for its divine essence..."

Xu Ranhe smiled kindly and closed his eyes.

And at this moment, in a strange and unnoticed space, a sculpture emanated a gloom, somewhere between a dead object and a living thing.

Its face is like a full moon, with two narrow, bright red eyes divided into two thin lines.

The scarlet eyes stood out in the dark space.

Click click click.

The sculpture made an eerie sound like nails scraping, stretched its neck, and glanced down at its hands.

In its hands, it held a tortoise shell as black as jet jade.

That is the supreme artifact of the God of Resentment clan.

A line of prophecy appeared above.

[Break open the heavens, invade China, pollute the blue planet, and welcome the arrival of the Supreme God. Success rate: 100%...]

"Huh. I thought something unexpected was going to happen."

“It turns out to be a foolproof success rate.”

……

Nine o'clock the next day.

Xu Ran, who had a sound sleep, suddenly opened his eyes and gently fell from the ceiling to the bed.

Open the curtains.

The sun is warm.

The trees outside the window are lush and green.

Get up, brush your teeth and wash your face, have breakfast, and go to the lawn by the artificial lake.

Hu Niu, Zhu Yuheng, Feng Yan, Bian Yue, Bie Jingqiu, and Zhuge Huangjin had already arrived at the lawn and started the internal competition.

The six people are in a competitive relationship. Hu Niu wants to maintain her supreme status as the big sister, while the other five people want to regain their dignity all the time.

However, everyone is involuted = everyone is “standing still”.

After a year of internal competition, Hu Niu is still the big sister. Her mysterious steps have entered the late stage of great success, while the others are in the early stage of great success.

but.

If we look beyond the perspective of these six people, the result of their internal conflict will be extremely terrifying!

With the help of the Great Accomplishment Mysterious Steps, they were able to launch a dimensionality reduction attack on other geniuses.

For example, at this moment, they were flashing back and forth on the lawn, leaving only afterimages, and ordinary geniuses could not keep up with their movements at all.

Seeing this scene, Huang Liang, Zhao Ying, and Gao Yuan opened their mouths in surprise: "..."

Zhao Ying: "Uh... I finally understand why Brother Ping said yesterday that the seven of them could occupy the top ten. They're seven years old? A seven-year-old can have such physical skills? Am I seeing right?"

Gao Yuan: "...It seems I misunderstood Xiao Ran...So this is the root of enlightenment."

Zhao Ying carefully observed the children's movements and said, "Great! I feel like I can definitely learn the invisibility technique that's like a divine gift!"

He was full of confidence and waved to Xu Ran: "Teacher Xiao Ran! We are here for class!"

Xu Ran nodded and raised his voice: "Yes. Everyone gather! Today I will try to teach you the art of invisibility!"

In fact, he could have not taught, but for some reason, he had a premonition urging him to teach. He felt that he had to teach more, especially to geniuses of the same age!

Anyway, you can use it to make progress in finding the right solution.

You can also practice at the same time, it’s worth it!

then.

Xu Ran took up his stance and disassembled the techniques bit by bit.

The complex knowledge points are obscure and difficult to understand, which gave Feng Yan and Zhuge Huangjin a headache.

Feng Yan's face was filled with pain. "It's over. My brain isn't working properly. My head is buzzing and hurting."

Zhuge Huangjin couldn't listen after hearing one-third of it, but he forced himself to listen.

Bian Yue and Bie Jingqiu were halfway through listening when confusion appeared in their eyes, as if they were listening to a foreign language.

Hu Niu's face was full of excitement, and her big, bright eyes were full of spirit.

Zhu Yuheng looked thoughtful.

On the other side, three "college" students were petrified on the spot: "..."

It took a long time for them to recover...

Wow, this is a high-end game!

It’s not a question of whether you can learn it or not, but whether you can understand it or not!
terrible!
What was going on inside the brain of someone with such a profound understanding? He was still human, but how could he come up with something so complex? How many billions of brain cells would it have taken to burn through?
The drumbeat of retreat in Zhao Ying's heart was ringing loudly, tormenting him until he felt drowsy. However, in order to maintain the "face" of a Yue Realm expert, he had to pretend to be a good student...

"Teacher Xiao Ran, can you teach me again?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Ying wanted to slap himself.

How could he make such a cheap request? It's like asking the teacher to stay after class when the class could have ended. Isn't that cheap?
Gao Yuan and Huang Liang glanced at Zhao Ying silently. They were about to say something.

Hu Niu waved her fist: "Brother Xiao Ran, teach me again! Teach me again!"

amount……

How can they be expected to shoulder the responsibility when a six-year-old girl has such a strong thirst for knowledge?

Just hold it in and listen!

Seeing Hu Niu's high spirits, Xu Ran raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, then I'll teach you again."

As he spoke, he began to explain in more detail.

Before he finished speaking, Huang Liang, Zhao Ying and Gao Yuan simply gave up trying to understand.

Huang Liang slowly backed away: "My neck is itchy, I need to grow a brain!"

Gao Yuan had no choice but to shield everyone in front of him: "The most important thing in life is self-knowledge. Obviously, I didn't have it before. I admit my mistake. I shouldn't have had unrealistic fantasies."

Zhao Ying smiled bitterly: "Well... one should always try hard in life, otherwise he will not know that he is a clown."

In front of Xu Ran, they frankly admitted their defeat and no longer wanted to learn any invisibility skills. Instead, they hid in the distance and quietly watched a group of geniuses in class.

Zhao Ying: "His comprehension and talent are untouchable. It makes my head explode."

Gao Yuan touched his big nose and said, "It's more comfortable to just watch from the sidelines. Let's guess, who will be able to learn the art of invisibility in the end?"

Huang Liang: "Jiang Liuli and Zhu Yuheng? Maybe Bian Yue and Bie Jingqiu can learn it too."

Zhao Ying pondered carefully. "The difficulty of invisibility is different from that of the elusive step. I estimate that only Jiang Liuli and Zhu Yuheng can master it. The King of the Scourge and the Bone of Time are unique."

Ye Ping suddenly appeared: "So, I told you you can't learn it, right? Your head is about to explode."

Huang Liang: "Yes."

Zhao Ying: "This person's comprehension is truly incredible. He can actually come up with such a complex technique."

Ye Ping smiled with relief: "Invincible, right?"

As he said that, he looked at Xu Ran.

At this moment, Xu Ran had just finished dismantling the machine. He turned around and glanced at the lawn. "Hmm? Where are those three students?"

Huniu smiled and said, "They've already run away."

Xu Ran: “…”

"Well, if you don't understand something, then that's fine. Everyone has their own specializations, so there's no need to study too hard."

Feng Yan said neatly, but a little dejectedly: "Then I quit!"

Zhuge Huangjin: "I...I quit."

Bie Jingqiu and Bian Yue smiled bitterly: "Neither of us understands."

Xu Ran looked at Zhu Yuheng and Hu Niu: "Do you understand?"

Zhu Yuheng nodded slightly: "I... I think I understand."

Xu Ran: "Then digest it first, and I'll give you some specific instructions later."

"What about you, sister Liuli?"

Hu Niu beamed with joy: "I was practicing last night. I'm sure I can learn it!"

Xu Ran: "Are you studying in a dream again? Then show me your results."

Hu Niu nodded. She had been eager to try and wanted to give Xu Ran a surprise, but Xu Ran had not come yet, so she had been holding it in for a long time.

"I can only see a little effect in the shade of the tree..."

"It's okay, just go ahead and do it."

Encouraged, Hu Niu smiled and immediately performed a mysterious step, hiding under the shade of a big tree next to her.

She looked left and right, closed her eyes and felt for a long time, then her body swayed and her figure gradually became translucent.

Although it is not completely invisible, it has already touched the threshold.

Xu Ran was amazed: "That's amazing, Hu Niu! Very good! With just one year of hard practice, you can achieve complete invisibility!"

Hu Niu was so excited after being praised: "Really? Brother Xiao Ran, I will work hard then."

She was full of energy and practiced frantically under the tree.

Feng Yan, Zhuge Huangjin, Bian Yue and Bie Jingqiu are all feeling very uncomfortable.

Done!

They couldn't learn the art of invisibility, but Hu Niu mastered it instantly. They were probably going to be killed by Hu Niu in the future, with no chance of recovery...

We can only look forward to Zhu Yuheng!

Their eyes all fell on Zhu Yuheng.

Xu Ran also turned his gaze and said, "What don't you understand? Show me your understanding."

Zhu Yuheng: "Okay... I..."

……

Not far away, Huang Liang, Gao Yuan and Zhao Ying were staring in amazement.

Gao Yuan: "Little Liuli...you're learning so fast! You've already touched the threshold."

Huang Liang: "Zhu Yuheng is indeed a Time Bone, and his comprehension is very high. He hides in the bushes like a chameleon, concealing his body. If he works hard for a while, he will be able to get started like Xiao Liuli. If he practices hard for another year, he will probably be able to master the true invisibility technique."

Zhao Ying: "Wow! Two freaks! Mastering the art of invisibility is like a divine power! Add in this super monster Xiao Ran, and my Jing Province will be a prosperous place!!"

"No wonder the headmaster is so cheerful every day. If I were the headmaster, I'd be beaming every day, too."

The three of them looked at the group of little geniuses silently, their eyes full of surprise.

Ye Ping smiled aside.

The headmaster came behind the four people without knowing when.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking like a lonely expert: "I think I heard you guys praising me?"

"I have to talk about my experience recruiting Xiao Ran. I had a keen eye and could tell at first glance that Xiao Ran was definitely something special. Facts have proven that experience is the key to success."

Ye Ping, Huang Liang, Gao Yuan, Zhao Ying, "..."

Speechless.

The old man has become addicted to pretending recently...

But they couldn't refute it...

The headmaster sighed, "But, the invisibility technique is really difficult."

"Feng Yan, Zhuge Huangjin, Bian Yue, and Bie Jingqiu, four super geniuses, have all lost their confidence..."

The headmaster looked at the four people and couldn't bear it.

on the lawn.

Xu Ran also glanced at the four of them and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't learn the invisibility technique. At least you have learned the elusive step."

"Besides, invisibility isn't suitable for everyone. Take Feng Yan for example. Your innate strength is the Black Turtle Divine Shield. Why would you become invisible? Are you going to let your teammates face the attacks directly?"

"You don't need to be discouraged. What you need to do is develop your protective abilities to the extreme."

Feng Yan nodded, his eyes rekindled with fighting spirit: "Yes! I understand, Xiao Ran! Thank you!"

After offering his consolation, Xu Ran wanted to turn around and comfort Bian Yue, but suddenly, an idea struck him: "Of course, if you want to have a certain level of offensive ability, that's not impossible. I can teach you a kind of body movement that will give you a decent means of attack."

Feng Yan was puzzled. "Ah? Teach me body movements so I can attack?"
