Chapter 331 Stone Giant

Xu Ran was not prepared for the gravel under his feet. In just a moment, the gravel like a riverbed gathered under his feet.

Immediately, a huge lifting force lifted Xu Ran's body up, making it float in the air.

Seeing this, Xu Ran stepped on the rubble with both feet and crushed some of the rubble into pieces. With a push, he made his body float in the air, unaffected by the stone giant and the rubble.

His face still had a solemn look. He first glanced at the piles of rubble under his feet, and then looked at the stone giant emitting a gray aura not far away.

"It seems that the part of the trial that said to kill everything in sight or any living creature, must be these stone giants!"

There was some doubt in Xu Ran's tone, and the mysterious feeling that had been lingering in his heart at that moment had not disappeared until now.

But before Xu Ran could think clearly, ten stone giants not far away slowly walked towards Xu Ran with heavy steps. With every step they took, the ground in the valley shook, like a small earthquake.

These ten stone giants marched in unison, like well-trained soldiers.

Wherever they passed, the gray aura emanating from their bodies squeezed and deformed the surrounding air.

The rubble floating in the air seemed to be affected by the stone giant, or as if cast a spell, and rushed towards the stone giant.

Some of these pieces of gravel are as big as a fingernail, while others are as big as a fist. They draw arcs in the air like iron filings attracted by a magnet.

The smaller stones first attached to the stone giant's legs, making crisp impact sounds, and then became firmly embedded in the giant's rough body surface.

Soon after, slightly larger stones followed. They collided and rubbed against each other, looking for their own positions on the giant, and gradually stacked and pieced together.

As more and more pieces of rubble attached to them, the bodies of the stone giants became thicker and stronger. Their originally slightly smooth skin was now covered by layers of rubble, becoming rougher and more rugged, as if they were wearing a layer of indestructible armor.

And those pieces of debris that were still flying in the air were shining in the sunlight, like bright meteors in the night sky, continuously converging towards the giants, adding strength to their bodies.

The aura of these ten stone giants surged again, and the gray aura emanating from all around attacked Xu Ran without hesitation.

These gray pressures began to condense and form a ball during the flight, and gradually formed a huge gray fist.

This huge gray fist has sharp edges and each knuckle is made up of stones.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The gray fist swept towards Xu Ran, squeezing out all the air around him and making sonic booms.

Faced with such pressure, Xu Ran had no intention of retreating.

"The pressure from ten stone giants had no effect on me before. Do you think adding a few pieces of gravel will have any special effect?"

Xu Ran shouted in a low voice, but instead of retreating, he took a step forward with a fierce expression in his eyes.

"Let's see which fist is harder, yours or mine!"

After saying this, the physical strength of the Dacheng [Innate Saint Body] was fully exerted. Xu Ran's tender little hands swelled up instantly, veins were exposed, and blood vessels protruded from the surface of the skin.

The perfected [Innate Saint Body] brought Xu Ran a huge and unimaginable increase in his physical body.

If he is unable to defeat these ten stone giants, then the highly accomplished [Innate Saint Body] would be unworthy of its name.

It's too late, it's faster than that!

As Xu Ran's expanded arms blasted out, the gray stone fist arrived right in front of him.

"boom!"

The moment Xu Ran's fists collided with the stone fist, sonic booms sounded in the air, echoing throughout the valley.

And where Xu Ran was, a thick smoke rose, making it impossible to see the scene inside.

When the souls in the arena saw this scene, they stretched their necks, trying to see the scene clearly in the smoke, but unfortunately, the thick fog did not dissipate for a long time. Even the three illusory souls in the front could not see the specific scene clearly.

"How is it? What happened?"

"Is this newcomer undergoing the trial okay?"

"The aura emitted by those ten stone giants just now is probably no weaker than that of this newcomer."

The souls talked to each other, and although they could not see the real scene in the smoke, they still made guesses based on their own experience.

Of course, most of the souls were worried about Xu Ran.

After all, the aura emitted by the ten stone giants was comparable to Xu Ran's, not to mention that with the blessing of the rubble, the aura had already faintly surpassed Xu Ran's.

It is normal to have some distrust towards Xu Ran.

"Shut up!"

Just as the soul body was constantly guessing, a strong voice came from the front, and for a moment, the arena fell into silence.

"Out!"

As these three words fell, a small, childish figure suddenly appeared in the smoke of the mirror.

The figure was moving at lightning speed, and one could only see a tail trail carrying the smoke in a long stream.

In the blink of an eye, the figure appeared in front of the ten stone giants. It was Xu Ran.

At this time, Xu Ran did not have any spiritual energy fluctuations on his body. He relied solely on his physical strength and came in front of the stone giant at lightning speed.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, the ten stone giants didn't even have time to react.

Countless fist shadows, wrapped in huge physical strength, continuously bombarded them.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Countless crashing sounds echoed in the valley. Looking in the direction of the sound, one saw pieces of stone constantly flying out of the bodies of the ten stone giants and scattering in the air.

At the same time, as the phantom-like fist shadow fell on the huge body of the stone giant, sparks appeared.

This is enough to prove that Xu Ran was moving extremely fast at this moment, producing bursts of sonic booms.

All the souls in the arena were stunned when they saw this scene.

Previously, Xu Ran did not give them the impression of being so violent. In the first level of the Cuckoo trial, he simply relied on the power of the Great Master [Innate Saint Body] to easily pass it.

From his various actions, it can be seen that Xu Ran is not such a violent person.

But at this moment, the change in Xu Ran's image made all the souls stunned for a moment.

"This newcomer is even more violent than me!!" The soul that spoke was none other than Old Yuan, who was previously hailed as the best in body refining.

In their era of specialized body training, the emphasis was on hitting the flesh with every punch. In the face of infinite physical strength, everything was in vain. Everyone's fighting style was not much different from Xu Ran's at this moment.

However, it was the first time he had seen a two-year-old engaging in such a violent battle, and even he felt ashamed of himself.

"This newcomer, in terms of physical strength, is probably even stronger than those great demons, right?"

"At this age, he possesses such terrifying physical strength. His future is truly limitless!"

"No wonder the Nine-Story Tower gave him such a difficult test in the second level. There's a reason for that!!"

"Given his current condition, I'm afraid he won't need to consume much spiritual energy. He can probably pass this level of the trial relying solely on his physical strength, right?"

All the souls were extremely impressed by Xu Ran's current state.

You know, they have always been able to surpass the geniuses of their generation in every era. Even so, they still gave such a high evaluation to Xu Ran. You can imagine how strong Xu Ran is at this moment!

"This newcomer has already expended so much energy at the beginning. I'm afraid it won't be so easy later on!!"

When the second senior brother saw Xu Ran being so violent, there was not much shock on his face, but rather some worry.

When the sound soul heard what the second senior brother said, the shocked expression on its face towards Xu Ran suddenly subsided, and it thought of what it had said before.

This level is not that simple.

Even if you break these ten stone giants into pieces, a mysterious force from nowhere will make them fit together again, and their defense will be several times stronger than before.

With such characteristics, considering Xu Ran's current consumption of physical strength, it is probably difficult for him to get through this trial.

For a moment, all the souls looked at Xu Ran in the mirror, and a hint of worry appeared on their faces.

Only the eldest senior brother was cold all over, with an aura of nothingness all over him, without any fluctuations.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Xu Ran continued to bombard the ten stone giants at lightning speed, and a quarter of an hour had passed.

During this quarter of an hour, the ten stone giants, which were originally dozens of feet tall, had their bodies made up of stones that were constantly blasted into pieces by Xu Ran and scattered on the ground. Their bodies now became only one meter in size, and they looked like stone dolls.

"call!!"

Xu Ran stared at the ten stone dolls that were shrinking in size with cold eyes. He let out a long breath, mobilized all his physical strength, gathered it in his right fist, and then punched out.

"boom!"

In an instant, a bloody aura burst out from Xu Ran's fists. This bloody aura spread to the ground and actually corroded the rubble on the ground.

This is the power of qi and blood.

Only when the physical strength is strong enough, can the power of qi and blood be released when attacking.

This energy and blood power can not only enhance physical strength, but also feed back the consumed energy.

As Xu Ran threw this punch, the ten stone dolls all collapsed in an instant.

The stones that made up his body seemed to have lost their stickiness and were scattered on the ground. They also lost their activity and looked like a pile of stones that were so ordinary that they couldn't be more ordinary.

"call!"

Seeing this, Xu Ran let out a long breath, brushed off the dust on his body, and said.

"The defense of these ten stone giants is really strong. It took me a full quarter of an hour to completely destroy them with just my physical strength!"

Xu Ran said it with great difficulty, but actually, there was a refreshing expression on his face.

He had never felt such a pure physical collision since he had achieved perfection in his [Innate Saint Body]. Moreover, he had just broken through the limit of his physical body and had endless strength in his body with nowhere to release it. As a result, he was hit by ten thick-skinned sandbags.

"I'm afraid I could sweep across the entire mountain with just this physical strength."

Xu Ran thought to himself, no matter how powerful the monsters in the mountains are, their defenses can’t be as strong as those ten stone giants just now, right?

Of course, except for the snake king.

It is definitely impossible to say that it was easy to overcome a difficult hurdle when I was two years old.

Even so, Xu Ran was still very satisfied with his current physical strength. Don't forget, he still had innate energy and spiritual energy in his body.
All the trump cards have not been used yet.

"Buzz!"

While Xu Ran was thinking, a shaking sound was heard again in the valley. This shaking sound was very familiar. He had just heard it. It was the sound produced by the constant collision and friction of the stones.

Hearing this voice, Xu Ran instantly recalled the previous scene.

"No way!" Xu Ran murmured in a low voice.

Then he turned around and looked at the place where he had just smashed the stone giant into pieces.

I saw that those ordinary stones began to shake, collide and rub against each other again.

These stones, as if guided by some mysterious force, began to combine together in an orderly manner again.

However, this time, there is something different.

These stones kept circling in the air, finding the most suitable position and then being assembled.

"Sure enough, this trial that exudes weirdness everywhere, how could it end so easily!" Xu Ran muttered to himself, and then continued to look at the stones that were beginning to come together.

"This time, there shouldn't be ten stone giants, there should be only one!"

The same is true.

The stones circling in the air began to combine together again. Just like the initial process, a huge stone giant appeared in front of Xu Ran again.

Compared with the original ten stone giants, there is only one stone giant this time.

However, this stone giant is fifty feet long, five times larger than the previous stone giant.

"Roar!"

The stone giant that had just taken shape actually let out a roar and used its stone arms to continuously hammer its chest. An invisible air wave attacked Xu Ran.

"Ok?"

Xu Ran discovered this little trick at the first moment.

Similarly, an invisible blood-colored air wave, like a solid city wall, blocked Xu Ran in front of him. The invisible air wave emitted by the stone giant was once again blocked in front of Xu Ran.

"The pressure emanating from this resurrected stone is more than double that of the previous stone giant!"
