Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 57: The Third Awakening of Heavenly Punishment! The Jailer! The Warning of the Immortal Glass Body!
What is this called?
Not only does the enemy refuse to surrender, but they also dare to attack me?
Performance props should look like performance props, okay?

Xu Ran stared.

"Clang——"

The long sword was suddenly unsheathed, and the sound of gold and iron rubbing against each other echoed throughout the small arena.

In an instant, a red light surged from his chest, like a red flame, enveloping Xu Ran's entire body.

He swung the long sword in a nonchalant manner.

A breeze passed and nothing happened.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk…”

Seeing Xu Ran's big fanfare but only bringing a gust of wind, the Crystal-Armored Hyena's teeth collided at high speed, making an extremely harsh and mocking laugh.

It's like, "That's it? That's it? That's it? I thought you were going to unleash your ultimate move? And all you get is a fart? A sheep's fart, even!!"

fun!
蚌！
The smile on the Crystal-Armored Hyena's face became more ferocious.

However, just one twelfth of a second later.

A change has occurred!
From within the Crystal-Armored Hyena's body, crimson lasers shot forth, severing its body in neat sections. Its calves, thighs, buttocks, lower abdomen, upper abdomen, chest, neck, and head...became neatly sliced ​​into individual parts, each one flying freely in mid-air.

It forms a beautiful "disintegration parabola".

"Pfft-"

"Pfft-"

The change happened so quickly that the Crystal-Armored Hyena's hideous smile was even in the spreading stage when it disintegrated.

Only when the parabola collapsed and hit the ground, did the eyes of the crocodile head show belated fear.

"What did you send?"

"My neck hurts..."

"Where's the butt?"

It felt a chill on its neck, and its eyes became increasingly dull.

Once you are dead, it is impossible to put it back together and revive it.

Xu Ran raised the knife, looked at it elegantly, and then flicked his fingers.

"Om-"

"Om-"

The sound of metal was melodious and long, which made Xu Ran's soul happy.

Xu Ran: "It's over, Director."

off the field.

The headmaster was stunned, his pupils dizzying, staring at the shocking scene in the air.

“Ah, this…???!!!”

After decades of teaching, the headmaster was shocked by his student's skills for the first time. "With just over 6,000 HP, he can chop a crystal beast with 20,000 HP into pieces with one strike?"

"Faced with a crystal beast with a HP value of 20,000, even if Zhu Yuheng and the others gathered together, they could only flee in panic..."

"This fighting talent is simply terrifying!"

"No, no, no, it's his own sword technique, it's too weird!"

After swinging the knife, it was as if nothing happened...but in fact, it hit the Crystal-Armored Hyena?!
Moreover, he only swung the knife once, but it left eight neat cuts on the Crystal-Armored Hyena Ghost, directly dismembering it?

So weird and creepy.

The director jumped to the side of the corpse and carefully examined the wound of the Crystal-Armored Hyena.

"The incisions were smooth, and each wound appeared to burst open at the same instant. This strangeness and lethality... is completely comparable to the divine power bestowed by the golden root bone!"

After analyzing this, the headmaster took a deep breath.

Looking up at the SSS gold card he pulled out.

I thought it was just an S card.

Who knew it would reach SSS quality!

Invisibility + substitute paper man + strange swordsmanship, a total of three kinds of God-given magical powers, combined in one, and then a sword can be used to smash a crystal-armored hyena ghost with a health value of 20,000.

Could it be that... Xu Ran, who has practiced for two years less, really has a chance to compete for the top five?

Even if there is only a slight possibility.

At this moment.

The smile on the principal's lips was as hard to suppress as an AK47.

He walked up to Xu Ran, looked at the knife carefully, and then looked at Xu Ran's arm carefully.

"Kid, tell me the truth, what's your swordsmanship level? What's the HP of a crystal beast that you can kill at your strongest?

What are the prerequisites for chopping the enemy into pieces? If the opponent's defense is extremely strong, will it be ineffective? "

Xu Ran pondered: "If the opponent's defense is relatively high, it is indeed impossible to cut it off."

The headmaster pondered: "I want to see what it's like for you to fight against a shield-type crystal beast, is that okay?"

Xu Ran was about to speak.

In the stands, Hu Niu's sparkling eyes were filled with amazement. She clapped her hands and jumped for joy, wanting to congratulate Xu Ran.

The next moment.

With a "clang" sound, the deafening sound of a bell suddenly rang in her mind.

Hu Niu's face turned pale, and she fell to the ground, bleeding from her mouth and nose, and fainted.

Principal: “???”

Xu Ran glanced back as three thousand thunderbolts unfolded, quickly landing beside Hu Niu. "He suddenly fainted? Could this be the third divine punishment? Is this really the third time?"

Hu Niu now has two abilities. The first is her extremely high comprehension. She can learn the mysterious steps and invisibility techniques faster than Zhu Yuheng. The second is her immortal glass body with all-round defense. She also has some abilities that have not been displayed.

So Xu Ran, Aunt Qin Lu, and the headmaster all guessed that Hu Niu would awaken again.

I didn't expect it to come.

Principal: "Is it time to start the third awakening?"

Xu Ran nodded: "Yes."

The headmaster said: "Hurry, take it to Qin Lu's research center. She has the real blood of crystal beasts. Wait, you are not fast enough, I will do it."

Xu Ran said nothing, gave Hu Niu a princess hug, and then used the Three Thousand Thunders at full speed after completing his mastery.

now.

He unreservedly burst out with speed in an instant, causing a sonic boom.

Seeing Xu Ran disappear in front of his eyes in an instant, the head teacher was stunned and thought he was dazzled.

"what?"

"No, how many magic skills does this kid have hidden? He refuses to use them, right?"

The headmaster is confused.

The speed that just erupted was definitely at the level of a divine power!

"If he has other abilities hidden, then the two and a half years of missing training can definitely be made up."

"Should I prepare my award speech?"

The headmaster paused, looked in the direction where Xu Ran disappeared, picked up the knife that Xu Ran had thrown on the ground, and put it into the sheath.

"Remember to clean the floor."

Gave an order.

The headmaster came to the stands of the Colosseum and watched quietly as the children battled wits and courage with the crystal beasts.

……

the other side.

Xu Ran landed at Aunt Qin Lu's research center and walked straight in.

Seeing Hu Niu fainted and bleeding from the mouth and nose.

Aunt Qin Lu seemed to have anticipated this: "Has it awakened for the third time?"

Xu Ran nodded: "Yes."

Aunt Qin Lu was calm: "Okay, put it on the bed. Help her take off her shoes and socks."

"Ever since the second divine punishment, the director has asked me to prepare 100 drops of seventh-level crystal beast blood and 100 drops of eighth-level crystal beast blood, ready for this moment to arrive."

"As expected of the headmaster, you have a far-sighted vision! I admire you."

While flattering her, Xu Ran took off Hu Niu's shoes and socks, revealing the crystal clear, rosy-white face of the jailer.

Aunt Qin Lu came over with a scalpel.

Assistant Xiao Liu just put the real blood storage device aside.

Director Qin skillfully cut open Hu Niu's toes and sent the real blood of the eighth-level crystal beast to the jailer drop by drop.

The effect of eighth-level true blood is more than twice as good as seventh-level true blood!
As the true blood of the eighth-level crystal beast was quickly consumed.

A red-gold light that only Xu Ran could see bloomed from Hu Niu's heart, and the red-gold light became increasingly intense, like a strange gem.

Time passes slowly.

100 drops of eighth-level true blood + 20 drops of seventh-level true blood have been consumed.

Hu Niu's body could no longer absorb true blood, and the jailer's wounds healed visibly. Hu Niu, dazed, opened her sparkling gemstone eyes with a silly and adorable expression.

Xu Ran: "How are you, Hu Niu? Are you feeling well?"

Hu Niu, lying on the bed, kicked up her feet: "My feet are a bit cold~"

Xu Ran was speechless: "Just put on your socks and shoes..."

Hu Niu: "Oh."

She smiled, put on her shoes and socks, jumped out of bed lively, patted her chest, and rubbed her delicate little face with a little baby fat.

"I seem to have become stronger again!!"

Xu Ran: "Of course, you consumed a full 100 drops of eighth-level crystal beast blood this time."

Huniu: "So many?"

Xu Ran nodded: "Yes, thank Aunt Qin quickly."

Hu Niu said obediently: "Thank you, Aunt Qin."

Xu Ran: "Aunt Qin, let's go."

With that, he turned and left. Hu Niu followed beside him, her head drooping: "Brother Xiao Ran, I may not be able to learn your Super Explosive Slash..."

She pouted and looked aggrieved.

Xu Ran: "You've not even tried yet, so you're convinced you can't learn it?"

Hu Niu: "Hmm... Just now, when I was watching you swing your knife carefully, a warning bell suddenly rang in my mind, and then I fainted."

Xu Ran raised an eyebrow: "A warning bell?"

Hu Niu explained, "Yes, my immortal glass body is warning me that if I force myself to learn, my body will shatter."

Xu Ran was confused: "Warning you? My body was broken? What's going on?"

Hu Niu's sparkling eyes showed a trace of thought: "I can't find the reason... Alas..."

Xu Ran pondered, then smiled and touched Hu Niu's round head. "Don't sigh. Since the Indestructible Glazed Body is warning you, there's no need to force yourself to learn it. My [Super Explosive Slash]... well, it might be somewhat harmful to others."

High-level weapons, even super-level ones, can't withstand multiple swings...

If others try to learn it by force, the enemy might not be killed but disintegrate on its own.

Therefore, the warning of the Immortal Glass Body should be to protect the safety of little Liuli.

Hu Niu blinked, enjoying Xu Ran's comfort, a stubborn and competitive light flashing in her eyes: "What if I can't learn it, but Sister Yuheng can? What should I do?"

Xu Ran laughed hoarsely: "Don't worry, if you can't learn it, Zhu Yuheng probably can't learn it either."

Hu Niu: "Really?"

Xu Ran: "It should be true. I'll try to teach her one day. Maybe she'll faint too..."

Huniu: "Box, box, box, box..."

Suddenly, she became generous: "However, it would be great if Sister Yuheng could learn it. Her attack power is too weak."

Xu Ran looked at Hu Niu in surprise.

Hu Niu smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Ran, let me tell you something in secret. I have learned the Three Thousand Thunder Movements, hehe."

As she spoke, Hu Niu turned into a flash of lightning and rushed out.

Xu Ran raised an eyebrow: "She really managed to learn it? She's worthy of having a red gold bone structure."

"Looks like I need to think of more ways to see if I can get the Scarlet Gold Root Bone in advance. I'm only 80 points away! Only 80 points away!"

"Yeah! I can't stay in kindergarten all the time. I have to go out for a walk, gain some experience, and try to trigger as many golden achievements as possible."

Xu Ran nodded secretly in his heart, his body lightened, and he was about to use Three Thousand Thunders to catch up with Hu Niu.

Not far away, a familiar figure quickly passed by.

Xu Ran rushed over and said, "Uncle Ye, in two days, when my super-class long sword arrives, can you take me to the alien battlefield to train?"

Ye Ping: "Have you learned the Qi and Blood Lamp Lighting Technique?"

Xu Ran: "I'll go to school this afternoon."

Ye Ping: "..." He was speechless for a moment. He was able to create a practice method that could triple his efficiency. Learning the art of lighting lamps only required an afternoon. Or even less than an afternoon, just an hour would be enough.

But do you really want to take it to the alien battlefield?
It's a chaotic area with a very high mortality rate and sticky pollution.

It's too dangerous for a child who just turned eight to go to an alien battlefield for training...

But when I think about the time two years ago when Xu Ran could kill a crystal beast with 40000 health points in one dart.

Ye Ping also felt that he should agree to Xu Ran's request.

Two years have passed. What is Xu Ran's true strength? What trump card does he have? What level of crystal beasts, resentful beasts, and ghosts can he kill in seconds?
He couldn't help but be curious, and his curiosity was even particularly strong.

"Why not go as a bodyguard and witness Xu Ran's progress over the past two years? Let's see what kind of storms his comprehension and aptitude can unleash..."

Thinking of this, Ye Ping nodded seriously: "Okay, we'll leave at ten o'clock in two days. Remember to apply to the director."

Xu Ran: "No problem, I'll go find the director right away. My weapon happened to be left at the Colosseum."

After bidding farewell to Uncle Ye, Xu Ran, with an excited look on his face, rushed towards the Colosseum at high speed.

Hu Niu stopped halfway and waited: "Brother Xiao Ran, where have you been?"

Xu Ran: "I met Uncle Ye and asked him to take me to experience it."

Hu Niu's eyes brightened: "Experience? It's actually experience. Can you take me with you? I'm also very capable."

Xu Ran: "No. You must be at least eight years old, have completed the Qi and Blood cultivation method, and then learn the Qi and Blood Lamp Lighting Technique before you can go!"

Hu Niu was slightly surprised: "Brother Xiao Ran, the place where you trained was actually an alien battlefield?"

Xu Ran: “Smart!”

Hu Niu was worried: "Isn't it too dangerous? Brother Xiao Ran is only eight years old..."

Xu Ran was not panicked at all: "Uncle Ye is protecting me, I'm very safe."

Hu Niu: "But... the books say that alien space is filled with sticky pollution and desperate alien creatures. There are even gods watching from the dark! Even Uncle Ye can't guarantee absolute safety."

Xu Ran: "It's precisely because there's danger that it counts as experience."

Hu Niu wanted to say something but stopped herself, but the two of them had already landed on the stands of the Colosseum.

below.

Zhu Yuheng and the others are still in "actual combat".

The headmaster stood with his hands behind his back. Sensing Xu Ran and the others, he turned around and waved, "Come here, hold on to your knife. Don't drop your weapon carelessly from now on. Even if you need to rescue your sister Liuli, remember to hold on tight. This is a kindergarten, the safety factor is high, but what if we were on an alien battlefield?! Without your weapon, you can't save anyone!"

The headmaster spoke in a serious tone.

Xu Ran accepted the instruction sternly: "I will remember it, Principal."

The headmaster nodded and looked at Hu Niu kindly: "Is Xiao Liuli okay?"

Hu Niu smiled and jumped up and down beside the headmaster. "Nothing's wrong now. I'm full of energy!"

The headmaster couldn't help but laugh: "Not bad, not bad. The third awakening can actually consume 100 drops of eighth-level crystal beast blood! I'm afraid the remaining power will be extremely exaggerated."

The headmaster exclaimed and patted Hu Niu's head.

The first awakening consumes 20 drops of seventh-level crystal beast blood, gaining the comprehensive abilities of high comprehension, rapid growth of Qi and blood, and good strength.

The second awakening consumed 70 drops of seventh-level crystal beast blood, and gradually possessed an immortal glass body with three-dimensional defense.

The third awakening consumes 100 drops of eighth-level crystal beast blood... I can’t imagine what will happen.

All I can say is - he is worthy of being the [King of the Condemned]. His evilness is even better than the current [Bone of Time], second only to Xu Ran who possesses the "Bone of Doing Whatever He Wants".

But she is really young. There are only 328 days left until the God-Slaying Team selection competition, and she is not even eight years old yet.

When she was eight years old, she had only 270 days left to practice.

The kids in the same class had practiced two years and seven months longer than her! This gap wasn't easy to make up!

The headmaster was slightly worried and looked at Xu Ran again...

Judging from his performance of shattering the crystal-armored hyena ghost with one sword just now, Xu Ran was able to make up for a lot of gaps by relying on the demigod cultivation method and his self-created [Explosive Slashing Sword].

But the gap of two and a half years is not just a few months. Even if some of it can be made up, there will still be a gap.

Xu Ran's opponents are all unfathomable——

[Mirror Image Supreme] How many divine powers can Qin Yihou replicate? Does she have a hidden card?

[Microcosm] has never used her full strength, and everyone speculates that she has more strange methods!

[Thousand Thunders of Purification] The most destructive hexagonal warrior.

[Eight-Armed Yuanying] is the king of the spiritual power field, and also a super genius who has never used his full strength.

These five are the absolute kings, and there may be bigger guys hiding behind them.

Therefore, the director was very worried about whether he could make it into the top five and restore the glory of Jing Province.

But.

Xu Ran didn't care about the apprehensive light in the director's eyes at all. He directly stated his intention: "Director, in two days, when the super-class Rock Spirit Ring-Headed Blade is delivered, I will ask Uncle Ye to take me to the alien battlefield for training."

The headmaster rejected the idea impulsively: "What? You want to go to an alien battlefield for training? No, absolutely not. Ye Ping is too much of a jerk! How can I agree to such a thing? I'm telling you, I won't agree to it!"

Xu Ran: “…”

The director's reaction seemed unusually intense. Damn it! They wouldn't let me go to the alien battlefield to train, would they?
My golden achievements, my eternal flames, my invincible body...

"I don't want to wait even a moment! I have to convince the principal!"

Xu Ran's eyes suddenly became firm.
