Baby with Daoist Monarch System

This was just a brief moment!

Absolutely no more than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!

Yet, from these few moves in the Fist Technique... Xu Ran was able to imprint the true essence of the Fist Technique and integrate it, making it his own.

And, without any flaws!

This is talent!

Otherwise...

The four thick chains restraining Xu Ran wouldn’t have been shattered so easily!

The broken chains further demonstrate Xu Ran’s extraordinary ability and talent!

”If it’s just to this extent, I’ll be out of here in a day!”

Xu Ran’s eyes were full of confidence.

Indeed, he had reason to be.

All four thick chains were broken—what could better prove his exceptional talent?

”Hey!”

The bald man sneered coldly, ”I have to admit, your talent is truly exceptional!”

”Throughout long history, even those Great Powers who proved their path through Fist Technique didn’t have your kind of talent!”

Ever since the Nine-Layered Giant Tower appeared, he has been the Gatekeeper of this checkpoint.

Throughout this long era, although no one has entered this checkpoint, he could still observe the trials before his gate.

Not only that, but he knows of major events happening in the Origin Realm.

He knows what kind of exceptionally talented people have emerged in the Origin Realm, causing massive attention.

Among them were several powerful individuals who proved their path through Fist, entering the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, although they did not reach this checkpoint, the bald man had witnessed those geniuses’ trial trajectories.

During this process, he also saw many Fist Techniques, some extremely stunning, and some ingenious.

However, he has never seen anyone as talented as Xu Ran.

As the Gatekeeper of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, he was extremely shocked.

Yet for him, passing isn’t just about high talent.

”Since that’s the case, let me test your mettle!”

The bald man exhaled mist, the Spiritual Qi on his arms instantly evaporated, countless powers gathered on his fists, forming ripples that spread around the Dueling Arena.

Boom---

The sound of a tremor spread in the Dueling Arena, sweeping over Xu Ran’s body.

Buzz---

Ripples instantly surged on Xu Ran’s body, his clothes fluttered with the ripples, his complexion turned rosy, his internal blood shaking continuously with the ripples.

Although the bald man did not cause any substantial damage to Xu Ran’s body, just the overflow of gathered power was enough to cause significant changes to Xu Ran’s body.

This sufficiently shows the bald man’s strength, able to affect Xu Ran through the air.

This requires an extremely meticulous level of control over the body.

A rosy-faced Xu Ran strongly resisted the pressure sweeping over him from the bald man and raised his head to stare at him.

”Is that all?” Xu Ran swung his hands, the boiling blood inside him instantly calmed down, the rosy color returning to normal.

”Not enough!”

Suddenly.

Xu Ran seemed to have eyes on his back, reaching out a hand.

Boom-----

A loud bang erupted, following Xu Ran’s reverse hand, revealing a phantom fist in his palm.

”Fist Intent?!”

Xu Ran clenched his fist in reverse, the phantom giant fist instantly dissipating into mist, vanishing into the air.

”You know Fist Intent?”

The bald man was somewhat surprised by Xu Ran’s ability to recognize Fist Intent.

From his appearance, he was entirely someone without any knowledge of Cultivation, even with high talent, his understanding was limited here, impossible to be the son of some great family.

The experts around him, probably there weren’t many.

In such an environment, how could someone recognize Fist Intent?

Fist Intent.

It requires absolute mastery over the Fist Technique.

Fist Intent signifies one’s comprehension of the Fist Technique has reached the pinnacle, extremely rare.

”Why can’t I know?”

Xu Ran retorted.

Isn’t this looking down on people?!

Although he previously did not understand Fist Technique, don’t forget, he Cultivated the[Immortal Sword Skill].

The first Immortal Sword forged with countless Innate Qi contains supreme Sword Intent.

Sword Intent, Fist Intent, although seemingly two different Law comprehensions, in reality, share the same path, the aura extremely similar, so Xu Ran immediately recognized it as Fist Intent.

If this wasn’t clear, then his[Immortal Sword Skill]was Cultivated for nothing!

”Oh?!”

The bald man reacted at this moment.

”You Cultivated[Immortal Sword Skill], recognizing this as Fist Intent is normal!”

Although Xu Ran never displayed[Immortal Sword Skill]in this checkpoint’s trial, he used it in previous checkpoints, now he remembered.

”Hmm?!”

Xu Ran was somewhat surprised by the bald man’s words.

After all, him using[Immortal Sword Skill]in the Nine-Layered Giant Tower was many checkpoints ago, so how did the bald man know?

A moment later, Xu Ran immediately straightened his body, staring at the bald man.

This bald man could see everything from previous checkpoints, hence, knew he Cultivated[Immortal Sword Skill]!

Soon, Xu Ran arrived at this answer.

However, for the trial, this was irrelevant.

”But, your Fist Intent doesn’t seem very strong?!”

Xu Ran clapped his hands, as if the phantom fist he just crushed in his hand was merely dust, inconsequential, dirtying his hands.

”Then let’s try the real thing!”
