Baby with Daoist Monarch System

Just as expected!

The next moment.

The monkey’s wooden staff slowed down instantly, as if its body had suddenly been drained of energy, leaving the staff suspended in mid-air, slowly falling.

Xu Ran seized this flaw the moment it appeared.

He yelled as his arm, gripping the staff, swelled with muscles, his entire body emitting a muffled sound, as if channeling all his muscles to his arms, and fiercely smashed towards the monkey.

At this moment.

Time seemed to halt in the Dueling Arena; Xu Ran and the monkey’s heartbeat could be clearly heard.

Now the monkey glared angrily, its expression twisted, a hint of unwillingness in its eyes!

At the same time, its hands, previously stationary in the air, seemed to move slightly.

But this small movement consumed all the monkey’s energy, trying to move the staff to block Xu Ran’s attack.

However, it was all in vain; nothing miraculous happened to the monkey.

With a ”bang,” the staff slammed heavily into the monkey’s body.

The immense force drove the monkey into the bluestone ground, which cracked instantly, forming a large pit.

”Ah!”

Upon impact, the monkey let out a miserable cry and flew away like a kite with broken strings, hitting the ground hard, raising a cloud of dust.

Soon, the dust settled, and the monkey lay on the ground in the arena, barely alive.

At that moment, its eyes were no longer crimson red but bright like they were sculpted by nature.

Additionally, the killing intent and hostility on its body had completely vanished.

The monkey just now seemed to have never existed!

Silence filled the arena, everyone stunned by the sudden outcome.

An oppressive and tense atmosphere enveloped the arena, as if the air had solidified.

Although Xu Ran had a greater chance of winning based on their prior performances,

when Xu Ran actually won, everything happening before them felt unreal.

Who was the monkey?

A Great Power from Ancient Times wanted by the Celestial Court, who singlehandedly caused chaos.

And Xu Ran?

Even though he created countless miracles in the previous trials in the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, his opponent was ranked top three in staff techniques from the Origin Realm!

Before today’s trial, Xu Ran hadn’t received any knowledge of staff techniques!

Most importantly,

Xu Ran was just a two-year-old child, even though he was assessed as a Young Divine King.

But, ultimately, merely a child under two years old.

Like a just-born infant facing a fully grown adult, especially one muscular and skilled in martial arts.

That’s the gap between Xu Ran and the monkey.

The result.

Despite this gap, Xu Ran learned, analyzed, and dissected during the battle...

Finally, he defeated it successfully!

Xu Ran stood on the spot, breathing heavily, his wooden staff slightly quivering.

He was exhausted, yet his eyes were filled with the joy of victory.

He did it!

Xu Ran looked at the monkey lying on the ground, his heart filled with delight.

”Hmm?”

Suddenly.

The monkey that had been lying on the ground turned into a cloud of ashes, disappearing from the arena, leaving only a golden hair.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the monkey’s hair.

”Did it... disappear?”

Xu Ran was immediately filled with confusion.

From what he heard outside, wasn’t this monkey the real body?

Weren’t the scars on its back left from suppressing the Nether Abyss?

But now, it seems that the monkey appearing in the Nine-Layered Giant Tower was just transformed from a single hair, not the real body!

”A single hair with such ability, then what about its real body?”

Xu Ran stared at the monkey’s disappearing form, immersed in thoughts of the battle they just had.

”Not bad!”

At this moment.

A robust voice arose beside Xu Ran’s ear, and following the sound, a shiny bald head appeared before him.

”You even passed this monkey! Truly impressive!”

Baldy’s voice was full of anticipation!

Moments ago, he had watched the entire battle between Xu Ran and the monkey.

As the Gatekeeper of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, he clearly understood Xu Ran’s rapid progress during the battle and his indescribable talent!

It’s due to these two points that Xu Ran reached this stage!

”Since you passed the staff technique, let’s proceed to the next level!”

Xu Ran showed no emotion towards Baldy, merely using words to convey the urgency of the mission!

Listening to Xu Ran’s words, Baldy was momentarily stunned before raising his right hand, touching his bright bald head.

”Haha, you’re aiming to pass the Nine-Layered Giant Tower in one day, better hurry up then!”

After saying this.

Baldy led Xu Ran towards the front of the arena!

...

Meanwhile.

In the Origin Realm.

In a land of desolation, a heart-chilling abyss floated, with dense green mist surging like liquid, resembling a massive poisonous dragon tightly coiling within the abyss.

The mist wasn’t motionless; it flowed slowly with a strange rhythm, sketching twisted and mysterious patterns in the air, its gentle moves containing a hidden pressure, like the breath of some unknown force, with no one able to approach around it.
