Baby with Daoist Monarch System

In an instant!

The stone giant, originally towering at a height of fifty zhang, made a crisp sound.

Immediately.

Its skin, as hard as steel and impervious, cracked like a spider’s web, leaving it covered in dense scars!!!

”Clap!”

Xu Ran clapped their hands...

The applause fell.

Then suddenly...

An explosion sound echoed...

”Boom!”

The stone giant, a full fifty zhang, collapsed in the valley with a loud crash, filling the valley with smoke and dust, obscuring visibility and concealing what was happening inside.

...

At the same time.

In the Dueling Arena.

At this moment, all the soul bodies witnessed Xu Ran’s single strike, which resolved the extremely troublesome stone in an instant, and they were stunned in place.

In their imagination, Xu Ran was indeed extraordinarily gifted, and they had no doubt that Xu Ran would not fail at this challenge after the stone giant reassembled.

Even if there was a possibility of failure in this trial, it shouldn’t have happened so quickly.

Yet, no one expected that with a single strike, the immensely strong defensive stone giant, covered with the aura of the earth, would be shattered like a spider’s web!!

Even with the smoke still lingering in the mirror, their long experience assured them that the moment the stone giant’s surface cracked, it had already signaled failure.

”Gulp!”

On the seats of the Dueling Arena, the sound of swallowing rose and fell, clearly indicating that all the soul bodies were shocked by this scene.

After all, except for the first three senior brothers and sisters who had experienced this trial, none of the other soul bodies had such an experience.

And in their memory, the usually invincible three senior brothers and sisters each harbored immense fear of this trial, which even the second senior brother and third senior sister had not passed.

Among the present soul bodies, only the eldest senior brother had successfully passed.

All their understanding of this trial came from the mirror at this moment and the descriptions of the senior brothers and sisters.

From their expressions, it was evident that this trial was indeed very difficult.

First, it required an inexhaustible store of Spiritual Qi within, combined with an extremely sensitive perception, to avoid being blocked by these stones.

Yet, such a trial was easily resolved with a single punch by this newcomer!

”Did it really end as quickly as the eldest senior brother said?!”

At this moment, the words of the eldest senior brother continued to echo in their hearts.

Although newcomer Xu Ran brought them immense shock, the eldest senior brother’s accurate prediction also demonstrated his profound astronomical and geographical knowledge and insight.

This time.

Even the little junior sister, who usually looked down on Xu Ran, shut her mouth completely and kept quiet at this moment.

However, the illusory face slowly revealed its features, and one could see star-like glimmers in her large eyes, fixating on Xu Ran in the mirror, unsure of what she was thinking.

The second senior brother was the same.

The illusory features gradually became clear, revealing a resolute face with stubble, belonging to a middle-aged man and sporting incomprehensible patterns on his forehead, seeming like the insignia of some tribe.

These patterns flickered with light with each breath he took, emitting a faint aura of Innate Qi from them.

If Xu Ran or a Peregrine Falcon were here, they would undoubtedly recognize it as the aura of Innate Qi.

However, although slight, possibly more than a Peregrine Falcon’s, it was surely less than Xu Ran’s!!

At this moment, even the second senior brother couldn’t fully understand Xu Ran’s true potential.

”What is special about this newcomer?” the second senior brother murmured in his heart, ”Moreover, can he pass the subsequent trials?”

He knew that even if all these stone giants were completely eradicated, a mysterious power remained hidden deep within, not to forget that the goal of the trial was to kill all living beings in the valley except oneself.

If the hidden mysterious power couldn’t be found, this trial could not be passed, even if Xu Ran had immense potential, he would remain trapped in the valley.

”Eldest senior brother...”

The second senior brother was just about to ask a question but was cut off.

”Don’t ask yet, just keep watching...”

The cold voice of the eldest senior brother echoed again, without any sense of empathy, as if he knew what was going to be asked.

Since the eldest senior brother said so, it must undoubtedly make sense; with a resolute gaze, he continued to look at Xu Ran in the mirror.

...

”Whoosh!”

”Whoosh!”

”Whoosh!”

”Whoosh!”

...

As expected, the shattered stones began to assemble again.

Faced with such a scene, Xu Ran had long expected it, so instead of watching the now-familiar reconstruction of the stone giant, he chose to close his eyes, remaining in place.

Even though Xu Ran had his eyes closed without any line of sight, his perception was even stronger than when his eyes were open.

To uncover the hidden mysterious power, Xu Ran did just that.

”When I first entered the valley, I sensed something amiss, and when the stone giant appeared, it completely confirmed my suspicion!”

”These continuously assembling stone giants are being controlled by a mysterious power!”

”Since they are being controlled, there must be traces to discover! It’s a trial, not a life and death blockade, set up to be overcome!”

Currently, Xu Ran’s body was overflowing with Innate Qi, causing the vast Sea of Spirit to spill over, forming a white protective layer over the body.
