Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 368: Test of physical strength!

"again and again!"

"again and again!"

"again and again!"

"again and again!"

Xu Ran paced alone in this small space where he could not use his spiritual sense, wanting to go to the wall where the torch was placed to see what was wrong.

"call!"

Just as Xu Ran walked to the wall, he suddenly felt a faint breeze behind him, as if something appeared behind him.

Then, he turned his head sharply and looked at the scene in front of him, his pain shrinking.

"When did this appear?"

Xu Ran muttered softly, and suddenly a bald man appeared in front of him. He had bronze skin and incomprehensible runes all over his body.

There was no black in his eyes, only white, like a blind person.

"what?!"

The bald man in front of him was a little surprised when he saw Xu Ran suddenly turn around, and tilted his head slightly.

"You little kid, your sixth sense is so strong that you can find me in the first place?"

The bald man stared at Xu Ran. His eyes, which were full of white, seemed to reflect Xu Ran's figure, and a faint golden light appeared behind him.

"The Great Completion [Innate Saint Body] is quite interesting. The spiritual sea is filled with innate energy, and it is constantly being produced!"

As he spoke, the bald man shook his head.

"But unfortunately, my body is full of energy, but I don't know how to use it. It's completely wasted!"

His tone was full of regret, as if all the energies that appeared in Xu Ran's body were a shame.

"Given your physical condition, it will probably take you more than ten years, or even hundreds of years, to get out of the nine-story tower!"

"No!" The bald man changed his tone again.

"You little kid, less than two years old, has such energy and cultivation. Even if it takes hundreds of years, your progress will be rapid!"

The bald man's tone suddenly became one of praise, as if spending hundreds of years was no big deal at all.

When Xu Ran heard this, he was stunned at first, then shook his head.

Let alone hundreds of years, after staying in the nine-story tower for a year, Lian Ji and Xu Binghu didn't know how anxious they were.

I'm afraid that in seven days, the two of them will be able to turn the entire mountain over.

"It's too long. There's no way I can stay here that long."

Xu Ran said lightly, his tone full of confidence.

"Wow!" The bald man was a little surprised, "You little kid, you are quite confident!"

“Confidence comes from strength!”

Xu Ran was not at all stage nervous.

For him, it is true, he has the ability to say such words.

"hey-hey!"

"Then let me see your confidence!"

After saying that, the scene around him suddenly changed drastically, and the narrow space in front of him suddenly turned into a huge arena.

When Xu Ran saw this scene, his eyes lit up.

"Isn't this the same arena we came from when we just entered?"

Xu Ran looked around and immediately discovered this arena, which was the arena he entered at the beginning and was full of souls.

but.

It’s different now than it was at the beginning.

The once packed arena was now empty, except for three souls sitting in the front.

These three soul bodies, one pink, one black, and one blue.

The pink soul body exuded endless soul power all over its body. Even in the arena, the useless spiritual consciousness was violently shaken.

Such vibration was not because his spiritual consciousness could be activated, but because the pink soul power was stirring his soul power.

Being able to achieve this level, one's attainment in soul power is quite terrifying!
Although the soul power of the soul body with black flames is not very strong, it is still an existence that Xu Ran cannot match at present.

Moreover, he could feel that even though it was just a soul body, it exuded endless physical strength. If the real body of this black soul body stood in front of him, the pressure emanating from the physical body alone would be enough to turn Xu Ran into ashes.

As for the soul body emitting blue light, the air around it seemed to be frozen.

Although the physical strength and soul power of this blue soul body are not as strong as the two soul bodies beside it, they are not much different.

Moreover, he could clearly feel that if the real body of this blue soul stood here, it would definitely put him under tremendous pressure.

The three soul bodies that appeared here were naturally the three people who broke through the limitations of the mirror's soul power.

After breaking through the limitations of the mirror, the three of them came here. They also saw Xu Ran and the bald man with a copper body and runes all over his body who appeared here.

The junior sister turned her head, stared at the senior brother and asked.

"Big Brother, who is that bald guy? He looks so silly!?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the little sister felt a sharp gaze staring at her. She looked in the direction of the sensation and found that it was the bald man who was staring at her with unfriendly eyes.

Seeing his eyes, the little sister was suddenly shocked.

"Isn't this just a gatekeeper? How can he have independent will?"

There were gatekeepers in the checkpoints they had passed before. Logically speaking, these gatekeepers had no mental capacity and could only act according to their most instinctive behaviors.

A sane gatekeeper has never been encountered.

But now it seems that the gatekeeper who appeared in this trial this time is sane.

"This person looks unfamiliar. I don't have any impression of him. He shouldn't be that powerful person!"

Second Senior Brother also spoke out at this time.
The second senior brother, who has existed since ancient times, is quite familiar with some well-known powerful people.

Being able to appear in the nine-story tower and serve as a gatekeeper, his reputation is even higher. The five attribute kings who appeared before, as well as various magical weapons, were all recorded in ancient books, and so was the Human Emperor Bell.

However, he had no impression of the person in front of him, which aroused his curiosity even more.

How could this person, whom he had no impression of at all, appear at the checkpoint of the Nine-story Tower and serve as the gatekeeper? What kind of abilities did he have?
"I have no impression of this person. I've never seen him before!"

The eldest brother's words made the youngest sister and the second brother drop their jaws.

What kind of existence is this person that even the eldest senior brother doesn’t know?
You know, as the eldest brother of the nine-story tower, the eldest brother has absolute access to many places, where a large number of ancient books are stored.

Moreover, these ancient books were all things that had never appeared in the outside world. He was known as someone who knew everything from astronomy to geography, even more so than Bai Xiaosheng, precisely because of these spaces.

But now, the eldest brother has said that he doesn’t know the gatekeeper here at all. What kind of ability does he have?
You know, the unknown is the most terrifying.

They didn't know what the bald man in front of them was, and Xu Ran, who was undergoing the trial, certainly didn't know what he was. Without knowing, he didn't know what strategy to use to pass the level.

We have come this far, and if we fail easily, we will definitely be very unwilling to accept it.

As someone who was undergoing the trial, Xu Ran was very clear about this in his heart.

Besides, there was a peregrine falcon outside waiting for him to rescue? These trials could not fail.

"Since you said my energy is too overflowing, then come and have a taste!"

Xu Ran stared at the bronze-skinned bald man in front of him and roared.

"Hmm!" The bald man scratched his ears with his fingers and said nonchalantly, "Then let's try boxing first!"

Say it.

The bald man who was standing there disappeared in an instant. The intact floor under his feet began to crack. In the arena, only a bronze lightning bolt was left at an extremely fast speed.

I saw the bronze lightning rushing towards Xu Ran at an extremely fast speed. There were bursts of sonic booms all around, and its specific figure could not be seen at all.

The junior sister sat in the front row and shook her head, looking a little painful.

"This speed is too fast. Even I can't stand the sonic boom!"

Although Junior Sister herself does not focus on cultivating her physical body, cultivating soul power to her level will greatly improve other aspects, and physical strength is not surprising.

With her current physical level, people of the same level of cultivation would not be able to easily break through her defense.

but now.

The bronze-skinned bald man made her ears feel so uncomfortable just because of the sonic boom produced by his high speed.

Moreover, the bald man's target was not her, but Xu Ran in the arena. If she really faced her, her body would be shattered into pieces by the sonic boom.

"call out!"

An extremely fast sound suddenly appeared in Xu Ran's ears.

At the moment, he had no way to retreat, no way to retreat.

Xu Ran also moved at an extremely fast speed, his whole body bent into a bow shape, his right fist retracted, and countless spiritual energy in his body gathered towards his right fist. Suddenly, a golden aura filled the arena.

In an instant, the power carried by his right fist reached the limit of Xu Ran's body, and he could no longer continue to accumulate power!

"drink!"

Immediately, with a loud shout, the right fist that had gathered endless spiritual energy suddenly attacked the bronze lightning that was attacking him.

"boom!"

Suddenly.

There was a loud bang, accompanied by air waves that spread out in all directions like ripples, and at the same time spread out in all directions.

Looking at the center of the air wave, Xu Ran's tender and thin right fist collided with the bald man's body.

Xu Ran's tender right fist hit the bald man's chest squarely without causing any damage, not even a ripple.

"The power is sufficient, but the control over the power is too weak!"

"My boxing skills can't be said to be weak, but rather, they are not weak at all. I simply rely on crushing power to kill the enemy!"

"What a waste, such a waste!"

The bald man looked down at Xu Ran, who was less than two years old, and his tone was full of pity and shame for the waste.

In his opinion, Xu Ran's fighting style was a complete waste. He was unable to use the power in his body appropriately, and was unable to defeat or even kill the enemy with minimal consumption.

This is something beyond words for a disciple of the Nine-Story Tower, for someone who has reached this level of trial.

But fortunately, his tone changed, as if he was relieved.

"Fortunately, this level of trial is to help you, the challenger, solve this problem!"

"Then let's start with boxing!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly and instantly retreated backwards.

He understood that this level of trial was to help him solve his current shortcomings in controlling strength and various skills.

To be honest, his control over strength and various techniques are extremely weak. He can get to this point now only by relying on inexhaustible energy and absolute energy crushing. He hasn't even had a satisfying close combat.

He discovered this when he was practicing in the Great Wilderness Village.

But at that time, what would happen if it was discovered?
There is no teacher.

Does he have to rely on the hunters in the wilderness village to teach him?

Should Xu Binghu teach him?

Totally impossible!
But now, the opportunity has come and he must seize it.

Moreover, Xu Ran now understood why the bald man said those words before.

"Perhaps, with my talent, I can get out of this trial in just a few days?"

The bald man couldn't help but look at Xu Ran sideways when he heard his extremely confident tone, but soon turned to joking.

"Then let me see how a genius like you, who currently has zero control over all techniques and powers, can completely master them in just a few days!"

After the bald man finished speaking, the runes covering his body began to twist and move all over his body, like giant snakes wrapped around his body.

When these runes began to move, an uncontrollable smile appeared on the bald man's face. That smile seemed to contain an incomparable sense of comfort, as if something had been liberated!
"call out!"

Suddenly, those runes that seemed to be imprisoning the bald man jumped out from his body at lightning speed and flew towards Xu Ran.

Before Xu Ran could react, runes appeared in his body.

Suddenly, all the energies in his body seemed to be sealed and could not be mobilized at all. Even his spiritual energy was sealed.

This kind of seal is different from the feeling of being unable to mobilize the innate energy when first entering the nine-story tower.

The innate qi is locked in the sea of ​​spirit. If a large amount of spiritual power enters it and is assimilated by the sea of ​​spirit, the excess innate qi will overflow to the surface of the body.

but now.

All the energy in his body disappeared.

That's right, it disappeared, completely disappeared. The rich spiritual energy, innate energy and annihilation power were as if they had never appeared on Xu Ran's body.

If he hadn't been standing there with the body of a baby less than two years old, people would definitely think that Xu Ran had been completely replaced.

Xu Ran was surprised by this change at first, but he quickly calmed down.

"This is to allow me to pass the trial simply by using my physical strength!"
