Baby with Daoist Monarch System

Such an existence, no wonder he could declare that he’d clear the trial in a day from the very start.

”Hehe!”

Xu Ran swung the iron spear in his hand gracefully in the air, a sense of ease immediately cascading down his entire body.

At the same time, his grip on the iron spear felt even lighter at this moment.

”Is this surprising?”

Xu Ran stared at the bald man, seemingly unsatisfied with what he saw.

Hearing this, the bald man suddenly became alert, a bad premonition surged, as if something would shock him again the next moment, staring at Xu Ran, he asked.

”What do you want to do?”

As soon as the bald man finished his sentence.

There it was.

Xu Ran had his front hand’s tiger mouth facing the spear tip, his palm slightly curved, leaving space between it and the spear shaft, just enough to hide an egg, the rear hand supported the spear butt, thumb locked, wrapping around it like a python.

”Yin and Yang Grip!”

The bald man exclaimed again upon seeing Xu Ran’s actions!

Yin and Yang Grip, another advanced spear technique.

Such a technique, it is something countless capable individuals developed after numerous real battle experiences.

Yet, Xu Ran, in such a short time, could effortlessly execute it. If others saw it, wouldn’t they cough up blood on the spot!

Imagine, after gathering countless efforts from predecessors, combined with one’s deep understanding of spear techniques, only then does one create a perfect technique.

And then.

Someone tells you that a child not even two years old, in a day of learning spear techniques, without any prior knowledge, can perform such a move.

This...

For anyone, it’s impossible.

Mentioning it, others might think you’re speaking fantastically!

But in fact, it’s true!

”Woo!”

After a moment of silence, the bald man recovered, looking at this existence beyond human comprehension in front, sighed deeply.

The next moment, his gaze became sharp, his grip on the Red Tassel Spear tightened.

”Since you’ve understood the basics of spear techniques, next comes the real spear trial!”

That’s right!

This is the real spear trial.

Xu Ran is undergoing the trial of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, which is also a selection and a test.

Since it’s a selection and a test, it naturally requires to provide the trialists with the most basic teachings.

The Dragon Riding Stake earlier was exactly that.

However, no one expected that without guidance, Xu Ran self-taught the ’Three-Pointed Soul-Seeking Line’ and ’Yin and Yang Grip’.

Comprehending these two skills means the Dragon Riding Stake poses no problem anymore.

In this case, naturally, the trial should commence.

”Phew!”

Xu Ran exhaled deeply upon hearing this.

”Bring it on!”

With these words.

The bald man, holding the Red Tassel Spear, vanished instantly, a red arc cut through the air, moving so fast it was hard to react.

This red arc was precisely the tuft of red fur on the Red Tassel Spear.

The bald man knew that striking unexpectedly had the best effect.

However.

Xu Ran having undergone so many trials already, understood this principle well, keeping his nerves on constant alert.

Seeing that red arc in the air, Xu Ran tightened his grip on the iron spear, positioning it horizontally before him.

”Clang---”

Almost simultaneously, sparks flew up in front of Xu Ran.

At this moment, the bald man wielding the Red Tassel Spear had already approached Xu Ran. The heavy Red Tassel Spear weighing several hundred pounds smashed fiercely onto the iron spear, colliding and shooting up sparks.

”Hmph!”

The bald man glared at Xu Ran, snorted coldly.

”Just average!”

After saying this, he looked toward where Xu Ran held his grip on the iron spear.

There, the tiger mouths of Xu Ran’s hands had cracks from which blood droplets splashed onto the spear shaft.

After all.

As the gatekeeper of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, upon entering the spear trial, the bald man was imbued with the experience of countless great spear masters.

One could say, now, the bald man is entirely a true spear technique master.

Xu Ran was merely a beginner in learning spear techniques, getting injured from a single strike was normal!

Despite this, Xu Ran showed no expression on his face, as if the wounds on the tiger mouths didn’t exist!

”Xu Ran is injured!”

The second senior brother watching Xu Ran’s trial, voiced his concern upon witnessing Xu Ran’s current situation.

Even though Xu Ran’s realization of spear techniques earlier indeed amazed everyone.

However, in actual combat, the gap in experience became apparent immediately.

Moreover, the bald man’s physical strength was equally formidable, the enormous recoil force alone could cause Xu Ran’s tiger mouths to split open, one can imagine.

”It seems using sheer strength to pass the trial is unlikely!”

The junior sister also noticed the subtlety within.

Now, Xu Ran’s strength compared to the bald man’s is not even on the same scale.

To pass the trial, another way must be found!

The senior brother remained silent, fixated on Xu Ran in the trial.

...

The trial.

In the dueling arena.

Clang---

Clang---

Clang---

Clang---

...

The bald man knew Xu Ran’s power couldn’t match his at the moment, and the tiger mouths holding the iron spear were already injured, thus every move used the most brutal force to attack Xu Ran.

There was no other choice.

Xu Ran could only hold the iron spear horizontally before him, blocking each of the bald man’s sweeps time and again.

Each sweep would burst into sparks on the dueling arena.

With the series of crisp metallic clashes rising in the arena, the formerly advantaged bald man frowned deeply.

”Again?”

Despite each clash of the Red Tassel Spear and the Iron Sword generating strong recoil force, all affecting Xu Ran.

Initially, Xu Ran’s tiger mouths had only one wound.

As time passed, the tiger mouths of Xu Ran already had dozens of wounds.

The iron spear’s shaft was stained with Xu Ran’s blood in various places.

Yet.

The bald man had swept nearly ten times, but the tiger mouths of Xu Ran didn’t develop new wounds.

Not only that, now both his hands felt a slight numbness.

This is recoil force.

Clearly.

This means Xu Ran is gradually familiarizing himself with his attacks, even, learning stealthily in front of him!

”No, this cannot continue!”

Having faced off with Xu Ran several times, the bald man gradually perceived his methods.

Insight, potential, and learning capability were all top-notch.

The swordsmanship trial was the same.

If this continues, I’m afraid, once he completely adapts, his strength will become even greater!

After contemplating for a moment.

The bald man immediately changed techniques.

Suddenly.

Instead of a singular red phantom, nine red phantoms simultaneously appeared in the air, each phantom carrying immense destructive force, swept fiercely towards Xu Ran.

”This is... Spear Circle!”

The senior brother’s voice echoed outside, a man well-versed in numerous scrolls, immediately recognized the bald man’s technique.

The Spear Circle, accompanied by oppressive spear tip prowess, was a domineering spear technique.

The Spear Circle had transcended ordinary moves.

If Xu Ran continues like this, he might not last much longer.

Xu Ran, currently battling with the bald man, seeing the sudden shift in the bald man’s techniques, his heart tensed, focusing intensely.

There it was.

The spear tip tinged with red, in no time had arrived before Xu Ran, its sharp edge tearing through the air effortlessly, pressing massively towards Xu Ran’s heart.

If hit for real, it would be a direct demise.

At once.

Xu Ran’s grip on the iron spear tightened further, setting the spear horizontally in front of him.

Without any offensive tactics, Xu Ran could only defend passively.

All these actions felt so familiar.

”Clang---”

The Red Tassel Spear tore through the air flow, its sharp tip fiercely stabbed onto the iron spear’s shaft, unable to advance further.

”Ha!”

Just as Xu Ran thought he successfully blocked it, a surge of air current struck through the spear shaft, directly hitting Xu Ran’s chest.

The next moment.

Xu Ran’s figure, like a broken kite, fell backward.
