Chapter 938 - 418: God
"The essence of staff technique lies in the unity of human and stick!"
The senior disciple spoke the same words as Xu Ran.
"I saw this in the Nine-story Giant Tower Study." The senior disciple stared at Xu Ran in amazement.
Before becoming the senior disciple of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, he also believed that the highest realm of staff technique was understanding its intent.
But after becoming the senior disciple of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, he discovered in the documents that beyond the intent of the staff, there was another realm, which is the unity of human and stick.
To achieve the unity of human and stick requires not only exceptionally high talent, but also a comprehension of staff technique reaching an unparalleled realm, only then can one have the opportunity to grasp the unity of human and stick.
Such opportunities are minimal, and throughout the history of the Origin Realm, very few have reached this degree.
Even the monkey opposite Xu Ran has not achieved the realm of unity of human and stick.
Consider this.
The monkey’s staff technique ranks among the top three in the history of the Origin Realm.
Moreover, its ferocious style that trades life for life is even more heart-stopping.
Even so, it hasn’t grasped the unity of human and stick.
The reason why the unity of human and stick becomes the ultimate realm in staff technique.
Is mainly because, in battle with enemies, the main target of the enemy will be the human, not the stick.
However, the purpose of unity of human and stick is for the body to move with the stick’s movement.
Just now, Xu Ran made his body swiftly shift to evade the monkey’s direct hit to the head!
Outside the arena, the young sister listened attentively to the senior disciple’s explanation.
Meanwhile.
In the Dueling Arena during the trial.
The wooden stick in Xu Ran’s hand fiercely struck the monkey’s chest, the immense power causing its chest to cave in.
At the same time.
The stick the monkey landed on Xu Ran’s shoulder was also not easy to bear.
Blood flowed continuously like a spring, instantly soaking the entire shoulder in red.
It can be seen that if this stick had hit Xu Ran’s head, the result might have been an immediate explosion!
At this moment, the monkey grinned, its disorderly teeth exposed outside, staring at Xu Ran with blood-red eyes.
This time, in its gaze, besides anger and wrath, there was also a hint of jealousy.
At the same time.
Its face showed confusion.
Back then, it was the most powerful existence in staff technique in the Origin Realm, now it seems, ranking among the top three in the history of the Origin Realm.
But such an existence still has not comprehended the highest realm of staff technique, the unity of human and stick!
Even though.
Whether it comprehends the unity of human and stick is unimportant to it, as it doesn’t even increase its combat power.
But even so, when one sees others gaining what one cannot own, the inner jealousy can grow infinitely.
The monkey too, and perhaps even more!
No surprise.
When it saw Xu Ran side-stepping to avoid its staff technique, it knew that the child before it, less than two years old, had already grasped the unity of human and stick.
In an instant.
The jealousy within grew boundlessly, instantly filling its entire heart.
"Hey!"
The immensely angry monkey stamped its feet, the enormous power causing it to leap into the air, its body parallel to the ground.
The next moment.
Like its feet grew eyes, the monkey stomped fiercely twice towards Xu Ran’s chest.
The huge push force separated it from Xu Ran’s wooden stick.
In midair, its chest that had caved in seemed to take a breath, suddenly puffing up, then steadily landing on the ground.
Xu Ran upon seeing this, did not make any move.
"Huff---"
In a breath, the shoulder that had been bleeding continuously stopped bleeding.
At this moment, Xu Ran’s gaze was quite calm.
He knew it wouldn’t be long before the showdown ensued.
At such a critical moment, adjusting one’s state is most important.
As expected.
As soon as Xu Ran’s shoulder recovered, the monkey grabbed its wooden stick, attacking Xu Ran with lightning speed.
In the blink of an eye, it appeared beside Xu Ran.
Xu Ran, long ready, immediately detected the monkey’s movements.
At its first move, Xu Ran also held his wooden stick, charging directly in the direction of the monkey’s attack.
From the earlier confrontation, Xu Ran could actively clash with the monkey now.
The monkey’s power, staff technique now holds no advantage.
Moreover.
Xu Ran has now grasped the unity of human and stick.
This staff technique realm provides his body with endless possibilities.
"Bang--"
"Bang--"
"Bang--"
"Bang--"
"..."
In the blink of an eye, Xu Ran and the monkey had exchanged hundreds of moves.
During this period, the monkey’s attacks grew ever more frenzied, constantly shifting attack modes trying to breach Xu Ran’s defenses, each attack with a desperate momentum, seemingly to tear Xu Ran apart.
Yet, Xu Ran cleverly neutralized every crisis with the staff technique essence he had just grasped, the wooden stick in his hand agilely rotating, wielded like an extension, blocking the monkey’s attacks one by one.
Simultaneously, combined with the newly realized unity of human and stick, although the monkey’s offense appeared extremely fierce, it caused no damage to Xu Ran.
On the contrary, it was depleting the monkey’s own stamina and power, in such a situation, the monkey’s advantage would gradually weaken.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly.
