Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 53 Powerful opponents: [Mirror Image Supreme] [Thousand Thunders of Purification] [Eight-armed Nascent Soul]!
Eight years old.

When Xu Ran was still sleeping in his dream, the hands of time, as if containing some strange and powerful power, quietly and silently pushed him into adolescence.

He was sleeping soundly and didn't realize anything was different. It was as if everything was like the spring rain, moistening everything silently.

At six o'clock in the morning, Xu Ran slowly woke up, feeling refreshed, energetic, and as excited as a giant bamboo shoot standing up after the rain.

But the moment I opened my eyes.

He was stunned. The earth-shaking changes in his body left him stunned and shocked.

Xu Ran, who was magnetically attached to the ceiling, immediately looked inward to feel his meridians and bones.

What does it feel like?

The invisible shackles of the universe had silently shattered at the moment of time's fulfillment. His bones had begun to strengthen, and Qi and blood could flow through his meridians! He could mobilize Qi and blood to temper his body! He could practice magic!
If we talk about the past, Xu Ran's qi and blood were just a group of scattered soldiers among 60 trillion cells.

At this moment, the scattered soldiers gathered together and formed an indestructible military formation!

Xu Ran completed three innate baptisms during his infancy, and the refined body finally wiped off the dust and became shiny and gleaming!

The more than 30,000 qi and blood in his body, driven by the powerful core of his heart at this moment, automatically drilled into the meridians and rushed along the meridians!

All that’s missing is a cultivation method!

Xu Ran can become a "god"!
However, even before he came into contact with the cultivation method, Xu Ran had already felt his own strength.

It seemed as if a divine dragon with unlimited potential was hovering in his body.

After the qi and blood rushed through the meridians again and again, the invincible momentum condensed within the internal organs.

He couldn't help but think of a sentence - Shurima, your emperor is back.

"The confidence that comes from being strong is truly fascinating. No wonder I love self-discipline!"

I have always liked self-discipline, and now I like it even more!
Xu Ran smiled faintly and jumped down from the ceiling. With a slight movement of his mind, he condensed a wall of air above the bed, then walked in the air and landed on the ground.

His walking pace is like that of a master.

His face and facial features are very childish, and he looks like a child.

of course.

None of this matters.

The important thing is that he is eight years old now, and can receive the cultivation method, and then officially receive the reward for killing the [Nightmare Mother]: a super-level spell and a super-level weapon!
Once you master the cultivation method, you can learn the Qi and Blood Lamp Lighting Technique, then enter the alien battlefield, obtain the golden achievement [Killing Heart into Burning], and then create the Eternal Flame. The nirvana of the flesh is just around the corner...

"The next period of time will be a favorite for a self-discipline enthusiast like me."

A smile spread across Xu Ran's features as he jumped around to warm up.

He jumped out of the room while warming up.

Finished washing up!

My mother was still sleeping. She said something outside the door and then he went to the cafeteria by himself.

Feast on the crystal beast meat, and your health value will increase by 5 points.

After a full meal, Xu Ran lightly jumped onto the cloud. Then he hopped around in the cloud until he landed on the balcony of the principal's office building and climbed in like a gecko.

"Director, please don't sleep."

The headmaster was dazed and sleepy: "What are you doing climbing up my window, you little brat?"

The headmaster, with some graying hair, looked up at the clock and said, "It's only six o'clock? You little brat, your life is too regular. You're trying to keep me, an old man who's always worried, sleeps late, and can't get up in the morning, right?"

"Are you craving fried pork and bamboo shoots? Come on, go play by yourself. Let me sleep a little longer."

Xu Ran didn't move at all: "...Headmaster, I have good news for you. I'm already eight years old, and my Qi and blood are flowing automatically in my meridians..."

Hearing these words, the head teacher suddenly became alert. He opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Xu Ran. The wrinkles on his face relaxed a lot.

"You are eight years old? Calculating the time, you are indeed eight years old..."

"Huh? Qi and blood are automatically flowing through the meridians?! I remember your Qi and blood value was around 5500 points, right? How is it possible that it is automatically flowing through the meridians?!"

"Zhu Yuheng has 6000 points of Qi and Health, but none of them are running automatically. Other super geniuses don't have any of them either. Why is it different for you?"

The headmaster sat up straight and stared at Xu Ran seriously. "For the Qi and Blood to function automatically, it must be at least over 10000 points. Tell me the truth, what is your Qi and Blood value?"

Xu Ran laughed: "Maybe my Qi and blood are relatively pure."

"Of course this isn't the point... You know what I mean, Headmaster!"

The headmaster said, "The key point is that you want to learn the Qi and Blood Cultivation Method, right? I understand that the other super geniuses have already started practicing, and you and Xiao Liuli are quite anxious..."

Xu Ran sternly corrected him, "Director, it's not just the cultivation method, there's also a reward for killing the Nightmare Mother. One super-class technique, one super-class weapon."

"I also want a top-notch Qi and Blood Lamp Lighting Technique... Of course, if you're willing to give me some other treasured techniques, I won't refuse them."

Xu Ran held his head high and spoke sternly and righteously.

The headmaster said, "You wish! Two super-level rewards aren't enough? Do you understand the principle of greed? First, master the Qi and blood cultivation method. Once you're proficient, you can then learn the super-level techniques..."

Xu Ran curled his lips. "Director, you're still asleep. How could you possibly say such clichés to a genius like me, a man endowed with a golden innate talent for enlightenment? Have you forgotten who taught you the art of invisibility? Who taught you the Mysterious Steps? Who taught you the Three Thousand Thunders?"

The headmaster calmed down: "..."

"Yes, you have the potential for understanding...but don't be greedy."

Xu Ran: "I'm not greedy, I won't give you less than what I deserve."

The headmaster got up and said, "Don't worry, you're indispensable."

Xu Ran: "That's great. I can't wait to know how fast your comprehension and learning of cultivation methods and techniques will improve."

His advanced comprehension has reached 60000/10...

There are only four hundred days left to the next sequence [Excellent at Enlightenment].

With such advanced comprehension, learning techniques should be twice as effective with half the effort. I hope I can grasp it at a glance!

While I was thinking about it, the headmaster put on his clothes.

"Smelly boy, ah... the God Slayer Squad trials in 330 days... are not optimistic..."

"Last night, I received the latest intelligence. There are several extremely terrifying geniuses hiding in the capital, the Magic City, and the northwest..."

"I was counting on you guys to soar to the top in next year's selection competition and make me proud, but now it seems a bit difficult."

The headmaster sighed as he spoke.

Xu Ran: "You are boosting others' morale and destroying our prestige. If your behavior were to happen in ancient times, you would be killed as a sacrifice."

Director: "..."

"What are you talking about! I just felt a surge of helplessness when I saw those geniuses. Sigh!"

Xu Ran calmly said, "What level of genius are they? Do you have any detailed information? Tell me."

Although he was already strong enough, his motto was still "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." If he went into battle without even knowing his opponent's abilities, no matter how strong he was, he would likely be cut into 2.5 pieces...

The director pondered: "The information is already there. But are you sure you want to listen? Each of these super geniuses is suffocating." It was obvious that the director was full of worries.

Xu Ran: "Hurry up and tell me."

The headmaster said, "Listen carefully. These are all formidable opponents of yours. Their talents and abilities are truly formidable. Let's see if you can find a way to counter them with your comprehension and talents."

While talking.

The headmaster was serious for a second.

"The first threat is the [Mirror Supreme] Qin Yihou. She can replicate the magical powers of multiple practitioners and slowly strengthen them in the mirror world. It is said that she now has a fusion of defense, attack, speed, strengthening, healing... More than ten kinds of divine powers, including some that are bestowed by golden roots."

Xu Ran raised his eyebrows, thinking that he had a very strong foundation.

Mirror images can be replicated and then strengthened. At the same time, it has more than ten kinds of divine powers such as defense, attack, speed, strengthening, healing, etc. Maybe there are even more bizarre replication powers hidden. No wonder the director sighed.

It’s really powerful.

Seeing Xu Ran raise an eyebrow, the headmaster shook his head slightly: "Surprised, right? It's just a replica, which is actually nothing. The key is that she can perfect it. She has perfected more than a dozen magical powers. She is like a hexagonal warrior. The key is that she is already ten years old. She has practiced for two full years longer than you."

"Over the past two years, her battles against crystal beasts, resentful beasts, and ghosts have been nothing short of astonishing. The experts in the capital all believe that she will be the undisputed number one in this competition."

Xu Ran calmly asked, "How much is her Qi and Blood value?"

The headmaster said, "His HP is about 4 points."

Xu Ran pretended to be in awe: "He has practiced for two years longer than me, and his Qi and Blood points are 4 points... Incredible!"

Well... to be honest... more than 4 points of health value are not enough in front of Xu Ran.

Two years ago, he was able to kill a crystal beast with a health value of 40000 points.

Two years have passed now... As long as he goes out to capture a group of new souls and upgrade the assassin mantis, he can kill an opponent with a health value of 10 points.

Mirror Image Supreme?

Xu Ran smiled but said nothing.

"Where's the second one?"

The headmaster frowned. "The second formidable opponent is Chi Mengli. She possesses the innate magical power of [Microscopic Myriad Forms]. She can create all sorts of minute poison powders, hypnotic powders, and anesthetic powders. Even if they stick to a person's skin, they will render them incapacitated. What's even more terrifying is that she never seems to use her full strength. Some speculate that she has even more bizarre methods."

Xu Ran: "Hmm... this is actually harder to guard against..."

Weird indeed.

But [Purify Spirit] should be a natural counter.

Xu Ran thought of his trump card and smiled faintly: "What about the third one?"

The headmaster said, "The third formidable competitor is Huo Yuan. He possesses the innate magical power of [Thousand Thunders of Purification], which allows him to master multiple thunder powers. He possesses purification, fierce attacks, and lightning speed. He also possesses divine thunder armor, making him a hexagonal warrior who is both offensive and defensive."

"The fourth, Chang Jun, possesses the fundamental strength of the [God-killing Armor], creating an indestructible God-killing Armor..."

"The fifth White Phoenix possesses the spiritual power foundation [Eight-armed Nascent Soul]. Her spiritual power foundation is even several times better than Bie Jingqiu's. When she was eight years old, she was able to manifest an eight-armed spiritual body outside her body. The impact of the spiritual body made even the practitioners in the Qiu Realm feel dizzy."

"Their advantage isn't just in their physique, they've all practiced for two years longer than you. I think these five are the top five, and you can only compete for the top ten..."

Xu Ran: "Director, be bolder, I'm number one."

The headmaster waved his hand and said, "First place is very difficult. I won't put too much pressure on you. If you can get into the top five, I will burn incense and pay homage to my ancestors."

Xu Ran laughed out loud: "Headmaster, let me put it this way, if I win first place, will you give me a special reward?"

The headmaster looked at Xu Ran with a serious face and said, "If you can take first place, I will reveal a super opportunity to you.

I have kept this opportunity within me for a hundred and fifty years, never telling a soul. It may contain a divine treasure that will unlock new realms never before known to mankind."

Xu Ran raised an eyebrow: "What is this? So mysterious? Please explain it in detail."

Principal: "You take first place."

Xu Ran: "You're already number one, go ahead!"

The headmaster said, "Don't be so nagging. Wait until you defeat all the super geniuses and take first place in front of the kindergarten instructors from all the provinces. Then I'll tell you everything. I won't let you down."

Xu Ran waved his hand. He was too lazy to argue with the headmaster.

This first place is definitely his, after all, he has to complete the golden achievement [Young Supreme].

For the golden achievement, no one can stop Xu Ran.

"Alright, alright. After you take first place, I'll hear your secrets.

Take me to get the reward for [Nightmare Mother] first? I can't wait to practice! "

Principal: "Okay, I'll wash my face."

After saying that, the old man quickly washed his face and then led Xu Ran to the secret room.

"You should have read the knowledge points in the book. Human practitioners have discovered that carving spells on the precious bones of crystal beasts like the Heavenly Spirit Turtle makes it easier for people to understand. Moreover, if there is anything wrong, the Heavenly Spirit Turtle's precious bones can even give you a hint."

"So, we have engraved many high-grade spells on the highest quality Sky Spirit Tortoise shells. This makes it easier for children to learn."

"In the Jing Province Kindergarten, there are a total of sixteen super-level Qi and Blood cultivation methods. This is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese upper echelons. Only the children in the Demigod Kindergarten can choose unconditionally. Others must have first-class merit, special merit, or kill enough enemies and accumulate a lot of points."

"As a child in the demigod kindergarten, you get to pick one!"

The director pushed open the door of the innermost secret room.

A magnificent space comes into view, with golden light reflected from each specially made glass cabinet.

Looking closely, one can see palm-sized tortoise shells placed in a glass cabinet. The characters on them are shining and emitting strange fluctuations.

Under the glass cabinet is a detailed description of the cultivation method. As long as you can read, you can understand at a glance the origin of the precious bone, the engraver, its strengths, weaknesses, and advantages.

Xu Ran's eyes brightened: "The Qi and blood cultivation method that best suits the sword-type bones..."

"The Qi and blood cultivation method that best suits the spiritual system, and also includes a method for tempering spiritual power..."

"The most suitable Qi and blood training method for shield-type bones..."

"The most suitable Qi and blood cultivation method for wind-type bones..."

"Unique cultivation method, created by Chen Fan. It is quite difficult. Please choose according to your needs..."

Xu Ran looked at the last red turtle shell.

The headmaster said, "Chen Fan, the leader of the Xia Nation. He is the founder of human cultivation. The unique cultivation method he created is extremely obscure and difficult. However, the improvement Chen Fan has achieved using this unique method is terrifying. Do you want to choose?"

"Actually, few people choose this because its personal characteristics are too obvious. I suggest you choose..."

Xu Ran: "Director, I have a special request, I hope you can agree to it."

The headmaster raised an eyebrow, his left eyelid twitching wildly. He vaguely felt that this immature kid in front of him was about to do something very extraordinary. "Tell me first. As long as it's not too extreme, I will consider it..."
