During this process of erosion, the dark red liquid clings to the surface of Xu Ran’s body, continuously eroding, persistently wearing down Xu Ran’s flesh.

At the same time.

Xu Ran’s Great Success [Innate Saint’s Sacred Body] also begins the unending repair of Xu Ran’s body.

Although the speed of the body’s repair can’t match the speed of the dark red liquid’s erosion, it still has some effect.

This places Xu Ran in an extremely comfortable and uncomfortable state during this process.

The comfort lies in the injured body being constantly healed.

The discomfort arises because the constantly healed body cannot fully recover, or just as it recovers, a sense of erosion sweeps over again.

This tension and relaxation, between tightening and easing, inflicts immense pain on Xu Ran.

Being in such a torturous state, he might as well die!

At this time, although Xu Ran’s eyes gaze upon the dark red Heaven and Earth Net approaching him, his eyes swirl rapidly, unable to find a way out.

Even so, he remains spirited and undaunted. Though half-crouched on the ground, his proud head remains held high, showing not the slightest fear.

In the blink of an eye, the fine web full of dark red liquid has already reached before Xu Ran.

Rip!

Suddenly.

A loud tearing sound echoes throughout the Dueling Arena.

Following the sound, one can see the place where the sound is coming from is exactly where Xu Ran is right now.

”What happened?”

Upon hearing this sound, the junior sister immediately looks toward the source of the noise. Even she covers her mouth, her eyes brimming with tears.

”This is... too desperate!”

Following the junior sister’s gaze.

She sees.

The fine web full of dark red, in an instant, like a knife with an extremely dull edge, cuts straight into Xu Ran’s body.

However, it seems the web, like that of a dull knife, isn’t sharp, embedding in Xu Ran’s body, unable to go further, as if something is stuck.

At the same time.

As the huge fine web embeds into Xu Ran’s body, red blood pours out as if it’s free, continuously flowing from Xu Ran’s body. Such a rich flow of blood it’s impossible to describe Xu Ran’s current appearance.

His entire person, like a man made of blood, any place on his body is stained red with blood, filling the air with a thick scent of blood.

To an ordinary person’s eyes, this situation looks either fatal or paralyzing, with no chance of revival.

But at this moment, Xu Ran seems to be acting out of the ordinary. Even with blood constantly flowing from his body, his mocking expression remains unfazed, as he speaks to the bald head soaring above everyone.

”Is this your swordsmanship? It’s a bit too weak!”

Xu Ran’s tone is full of sarcasm, as if he feels completely at ease, making the bald head in the air seem like it’s him!

The bald head hears Xu Ran’s mocking words, frowning his eyebrows.

He initially overheard something rather secretive from Xu Ran’s mouth and intended to train him well, as Xu Ran is the first being to enter this trial test in such a long time.

Yet, he’s genuinely in discomfort!

Moreover, the current control itself aligns with the rules of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower.

Aligning with the rules of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower means being recognized by the Heavenly Dao.

This being now is less than two years old!

Now, the very controlling nature inherent in him prompts him to exert a tighter grip.

In an instant.

The fine web embedded in Xu Ran’s body emits a ’rip’ sound.

The web originally stuck in his flesh seems to advance further into Xu Ran’s body by a fraction.

Drip—

Drip—

Drip—

Drip—

At the same time.

The blood flowing from Xu Ran’s body continues to drip like a stream, and the sound of dripping reverberates throughout the Dueling Arena, like a rhythmic melody, lingering for a long time.

Even so.

Xu Ran’s eyes still show no hint of retreat, on the contrary, the battle intent within them becomes more apparent.

Upon careful inspection.

Within his eyes, there seems to be no image of the bald head, only a Rusted Sword made from human bone, continuously swinging.

The swinging Rusted Sword made from human bone is the very one being wielded by the bald head.

At this moment, within Xu Ran’s eyes, he is continuously replaying the few sword swings just made by the bald head.

Given that this trial is a test of swordsmanship, he himself has no basic foundation in swordsmanship, possessing only the sole Divine Technique of [Immortal Sword Skill].

In the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, it can be said, [Immortal Sword Skill] is directly sealed and can’t be mobilized.

No choice.

The only option is to replicate the bald head’s swordsmanship to pass this trial.

From the beginning.

He lacked any force to resist against the bald head’s every move, except for having no foundation in swordsmanship, his primary aim was to find a way to breakthrough from the bald head’s casual swings.

Just now, he was entangled in the fine web full of dark red liquid, embedding right into his flesh, the pain of which almost tore his body apart.

However, to goad the bald head into continuing to swing the swordsmanship, he had to endure it, even speaking taunts amidst pain, allowing a few more swings thereafter.

All of this, for the sake of learning the bald head’s swordsmanship.

Now.

This painful process has ended.

His eyes gleaming with golden light gradually reflect the continual swinging of the Rusted Sword made from human bones, each swing bringing with it a resonance seen by Xu Ran, deconstructing into simple forms of swordsmanship.

At this point, the bald head also realizes Xu Ran’s intentions.

”A true fight to the death strategy!”

The bald head steps forward three heavy paces, exuding a hint of admiration despite once filled with sharpness!

Even he hadn’t expected this outcome.

To acquire the most basic swordsmanship from his hand, Xu Ran wasn’t hesitant to use his own body as bait, inducing a few more swings for himself to analyze the swordsmanship.

”Ha!”

The bald head, having realized, can’t help but laugh out loud.

Honestly speaking.

If Xu Ran hadn’t endured through the pain and uttered taunts, the bald head wouldn’t have swung several more times.

Without those swings, Xu Ran wouldn’t have been able to discern the weakness among these simple yet violent swings.

Although the bald head himself isn’t a master of swordsmanship.

But when he grasped the Rusted Sword made from human bone, a Sword Intent directly entered his body, and everything that followed was driven by the sword itself.

Even like this, he can still discern the level of Xu Ran’s swordsmanship.

The fact that the swordsmanship manifests through his eyes indicates one thing, Xu Ran found the weakness of this Rusted Sword made from human bone!

Buzz—

It was indeed true!

As the bald head’s voice falls, a golden light ignites on Xu Ran’s body, and the Silver Light Iron Sword in his hand also radiates an incomparably pure white glow.

Instantly.

A golden beam and a white beam shine in the Dueling Arena, like an immensely brilliant sun, blinding to the eye.

The bald head’s vision is also obscured by these two rays of light.

Bang—

Bang—

Bang—

Bang—

...

At the same time.

A series of crisp snapping sounds resounds in the Dueling Arena.

In such dazzling circumstances, the bald head can clearly feel the intricate web akin to the Heaven and Earth Net, in that moment, severing its connection with him.

To be precise, it is the connection between him and the Rusted Sword made from human bone that is severed.

The series of crisp snapping sounds just transmitted.

Clearly.

Were the sounds of that intricate web breaking apart.
