Baby with Daoist Monarch System

The thousand-mile dike gives way, destroyed by an ant’s nest.

These eight words aptly accompany the crisp snap that followed.

In the Dueling Arena.

Xu Ran tightly gripped the Silver Light Iron Sword, half-squatting on the ground. His small hand twirled the sword, the Silver Light Iron Sword spinning in the air.

Around the Silver Light Iron Sword, bursts of cold light radiated, as if Sword Qi were constantly spilling from its tip.

The starting stance, the Sword Intent in this Silver Light Iron Sword, was not much different from the aura emitted by the bald man wielding the Human Bone Rusty Sword just moments ago.

If there was a distinction, when the bald man wielded the Human Bone Rusty Sword, he appeared like a demon from the Abyss, intent on slaying all living creatures in his path.

At this moment, Xu Ran’s wielded Sword Intent, though similar in strength to the bald man’s Sword Intent,

had an entirely different ambiance.

Xu Ran’s Sword Intent, emanating from the Silver Light Iron Sword, was righteous and bright, dispelling all darkness.

That aura was like the morning sun rising, seeming to bring vitality to anything it touched.

Contrasted with the malicious aura from the bald man’s Human Bone Rusty Sword, they were complete opposites.

Yet, the aura emanating from both individuals had a commonality.

That was, an incredibly sharp Sword Intent capable of severing everything.

The cold light from the Silver Light Iron Sword swept across the fine web.

In that instant.

The fine web shattered immediately, and the intricately embedded net within Xu Ran’s body dissolved into a dark red mist, dispersing in the Dueling Arena.

This whole event transpired in less than the span of a single breath.

The intricate web that had been embedded in Xu Ran, causing him to bleed profusely, transforming him into a blood-soaked figure, was shattered in less than a breath.

All of this occurred because he endured the pain earlier and saw through the bald man’s Sword Intent, leading to this result.

The senior apprentices observing Xu Ran’s trial were momentarily stunned by this scene.

Initially, the second senior brother had speculated that Xu Ran might use such a method.

However, he had not anticipated the extent of Xu Ran’s exceptional learning ability.

To know.

The bald man merely performed a few basic sword techniques, and all the Sword Intent they contained was absorbed by Xu Ran and transformed into his own Swordsmanship!

Xu Ran was unaware, but the three of them knew!

The Human Bone Rusty Sword bore a trace of Sword Intent, derived from the Origin Realm’s most brilliant Sword Dao genius who mastered the Immortal Sword Skill, revered by all as a Sword Immortal.

Even though it was merely a trace of Sword Intent, to others, to other Sword Cultivators, it was a treasure akin to, or even surpassing, Innate Qi.

It was Sword Intent realized by a Sword Immortal, albeit a small portion, but to someone like Xu Ran, who had scarcely touched the Sword Dao, it was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Yet, Xu Ran, who was metaphorically the nut, managed to replicate the essence of the sledgehammer’s intent and even integrated it into his own concept, making it distinct from the bald man’s intention!

With such an extraordinary gift in the Sword Dao, while it may not yet rival a Sword Immortal, to be second only to one is no exaggeration!

”Such terrifying talent, such a ruthless heart!”

The second senior brother gazed at Xu Ran, who was half-squatting in the trial.

Although the intricate web previously embedded in his body had already snapped apart, and he was gravely wounded without the timely replenishment of Innate Qi, relying solely on the healing capabilities of the Great Success Innate Saint’s Sacred Body, healing would not be swift.

The fine web had transformed into dark red mist and dispersed in the Dueling Arena, but the alarming scars on Xu Ran’s body were not yet fully healed.

Those scars ran bone-deep, and just from the surface, one could clearly see the faintly golden-tinged bones within Xu Ran’s body.

It was evident how severe his injuries were!

Even though the second senior brother specialized in physical cultivation, having honed his body from a young age through extreme methods, he had never been in such a state.

”Despite all this, he hasn’t uttered a sound!”

The junior sister’s eyes were also gleaming, the light in them pulsating incessantly, seemingly stirred by Xu Ran’s current state.

As one who specialized in Spiritual Power cultivation, her body could not sustain such injuries.

If the body is in such a state, it can only mean one thing: the Spiritual Power is on the verge of dispersal.

Though she had little comprehension of such injuries, witnessing Xu Ran’s condition, she knew how much suffering was endured!

Raised with care from a young age, she couldn’t fathom such experiences, yet she looked at Xu Ran with newfound admiration!

At this moment.

The eldest senior brother, the calmest among them, although not as reactive as the others to this scene,

even he displayed a hint of astonishment and admiration when looking at Xu Ran.

To know.

The eldest senior brother.

He was the one who finalized the most harrowing epoch of the Near Ancient Era, employing Extreme Ice Power to seal the voids that emerged in the Origin Realm utterly.

Having weathered countless storms, the eldest senior brother thought nothing could stir his emotions anymore in this world.
