Baby with Daoist Monarch System

”What an absolute freak!”

”A genius among geniuses, truly astonishing!”

The bald man high in the sky refocused his gaze on Xu Ran, a solemn expression in his eyes.

A genius!

An absolute genius!

Amazing!

Awe-inspiring!

And at this very moment.

With just the span of a breath, Xu Ran had already entered the area covered by dark clouds.

Rumble----

As soon as Xu Ran’s body stepped into the clouded area, a bolt of lightning struck down, aiming straight for Xu Ran’s body.

In an instant, a bolt of heavenly lightning crashed onto the wooden post Xu Ran was about to step on.

The wooden post Xu Ran was about to land on disappeared instantly, turning into a wisp of ash that scattered in the air.

”Oh no! The post has been shattered!”

The Second Senior Brother shouted in alarm at the sight.

As they watched.

Xu Ran was in mid-air, the post he was supposed to land on shattered by the falling lightning.

Now, Xu Ran’s body was airborne, like a rootless duckweed, with no place to land his feet, and he had no way to borrow force from other objects in the air.

If he couldn’t change direction mid-air, there would only be one outcome: falling straight into the magma and melting, even a [Innate Saint’s Sacred Body] at Great Success couldn’t save him.

”What should we do now?”

The First Senior Brother looked at Xu Ran’s body in the air, with a tinge of curiosity.

After all, ever since Xu Ran entered the Nine-Layered Giant Tower’s trial, he had already created too many miracles they never would have imagined.

This time, with no assisting objects from above, and the post about to fall shattered by lightning, if no miracle were created, he would indeed vanish without a trace!

For a moment, the usually cold heart of the First Senior Brother was stirred.

This was yet another in the countless times his heart was moved while observing Xu Ran during his trials.

It’s safe to say, within this time, he had experienced every stir from the near ancient period to the present day.

Even so, his eyes were filled with curiosity, as if Xu Ran could not possibly fall at this hurdle, while also wanting to see what methods this unparalleled genius possessed!

”He should be alright, right?”

At this moment.

The Little Junior Sister, who had always targeted Xu Ran, also spoke with some concern.

Although she had looked down on Xu Ran from the start, he had repeatedly shattered the decisions in her heart, and she had seen the First Senior Brother she admired greatly undergo significant emotional changes.

Moreover, as the Third Senior Sister to the others in the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, as well as to the two Junior Sisters, she knew some rather important things and knew what Xu Ran’s presence might signify.

For a moment, she was also concerned about Xu Ran’s safety.

Though she was not a cultivator focusing on physical strength and was extremely lazy, having never involved herself in such matters unrelated to Spiritual Power, she had no idea if Xu Ran could overcome this hurdle!

At this moment.

The bald man, amidst the trial with bronze eyes, also tensed, his pupils seemingly sparkling with starlight.

”Can he control the vortex?”

The bald man murmured to himself.

After completing the Tier Two refinement of the shinbones, a vortex could form beneath the legs.

This vortex not only increased speed, but those who mastered it could use it for unexpected effects.

However.

This vortex control wasn’t simple.

Even he couldn’t accomplish this after completing the Tier Two shinbone refinement on the first day; not to mention complete mastery, even increasing speed was tough.

However.

He was well aware of the miraculous things Xu Ran had achieved at this trial stage.

The bald man also knew that Xu Ran had created countless unimaginable miracles at earlier stages.

This time, could Xu Ran achieve what even he couldn’t?

For a moment.

Within and outside the trial, four pairs of eyes were fixed on Xu Ran.

Each of the four bore different expressions.

Gravitas, contemplation, excitement, and anticipation.

Under the gaze of these four, Xu Ran’s airborne figure suddenly changed.

As seen.

Beneath his feet, a stream of formless air suddenly surged, forming a spinning vortex at his soles.

This vortex was very tame beneath Xu Ran’s feet, like a pet that had accompanied him all along, showing no sign of resistance.

”Hey!”

Xu Ran, feeling the presence of the vortex, grinned involuntarily.

”With this, I’m not even being serious yet?!”

Xu Ran’s carefree voice rose amidst the magma, echoing throughout the trial, reaching the ears of the four observers.

As his voice emerged, Xu Ran’s body, like a lithe flood dragon, traced a perfect arc in the air, stealthily slipping through the robust lightning without leaving a trace.

This lightning, like an unmoving steel rod, allowed Xu Ran to pass.

Reflecting on the lightning was Xu Ran’s smiling face.

This smile seemed to mock the trials designed by these challenges.

”Tier Two shinbone refinement, and the vortex formed beneath the feet is very easy to control. I should teach it to my cheap old man when I go back!”

During his words, dozens of lightning bolts fell from above the clouds, fiercely striking toward Xu Ran’s body.
