Baby with Daoist Monarch System

Moreover.

This monkey is naturally born and raised, with an extremely terrifying physical body. To break its defense, who knows how much energy is needed!

What’s more, this is about fighting oneself!

What is needed here is not only energy but also immense courage!

"It’s just..."

Thinking of this, the senior brother hesitated for a moment before asking out loud, "Why does it need to do this?"

At this moment, the senior brother was bewildered.

According to ancient books in the library.

This monkey is arrogant and unruly, relying on its Great Power Cultivation to do whatever it pleases, disrupting the peace of the Celestial Court.

Even when dispatched to suppress the Nether Abyss, it felt indignant.

However.

What did it experience during the process of suppressing the Nether Abyss to make such a decision?

After all.

With its special nature-born status, even entering the Nether Abyss and being assimilated by its aura, it still lived well within.

Even its cultivation increased because of the Nether Abyss’s aura!

This kind of illogical behavior made the senior brother puzzled for a moment!

...

At this time.

The monkey in the Dueling Arena was extremely furious, having been repelled by Xu Ran!

The entire arena echoed only with the monkey’s furious roars.

It heard the voice of the senior brother from outside the arena, twisted its small monkey head, only glanced once, then refocused its gaze on Xu Ran.

Although Xu Ran heard the outsiders’ words, he was a newcomer to the Origin Realm, born in a mere border village.

The things they spoke of were completely incomprehensible, nor did he need to understand.

What he needed now was to pass this trial.

The monkey before him was the same, regardless of its previous identity.

Now, its sole purpose as a Gatekeeper of the Staff Technique was to defeat Xu Ran before it.

Just now, Xu Ran managed to find its weakness.

This made it extremely furious.

"Roar---"

The monkey bared its teeth and roared angrily at Xu Ran, its voice resounded through the arena, intertwining fury and resentment.

The next moment.

The monkey grasped the wooden staff again and charged at Xu Ran, the stone beneath its feet exploded instantly, with debris shooting out like bullets.

Its legs suddenly kicked off, the whole body like lightning rushed towards Xu Ran at an astonishing speed, leaving an afterimage in the air.

"Whoosh--"

Seeing this, Xu Ran exhaled a long breath, eyes fixed on the monkey, and immediately raised his wooden staff, his whole body like a golden lightning swiftly attacked the monkey.

This time, Xu Ran didn’t just defend, but chose to actively strike, combining attacks.

"Bang--"

Immediately.

A vigorous sound accompanied by a flare of fire arose in the arena, along with Xu Ran’s voice.

"The essence of the Staff Technique lies in Human and Stick Unity!" Xu Ran muttered to himself while swiftly changing techniques.

"I don’t only control the stick, but must let it become an extension of my body."

At this moment, Xu Ran seemed to enter a mystical state, feeling the vibration of the stick as clearly as his own pulse.

Meanwhile.

His body, following the changes in stick technique, became more agile!

In an instant.

Xu Ran’s body was as agile as a monkey, more so than the monkey before him, quickly dodging every strike of its stick.

"Ah!"

While dodging, Xu Ran also attacked proactively, aiming for the monkey’s weakness, aggressively thrusting out the wooden staff.

This thrust, like a sharp spear tip, pierced through layers of defense, directly attacking the monkey’s chest.

The locked-on monkey, at this moment, did not retreat. Instead, the red light in its eyes became fiercer, emitting a fierce aura suddenly.

"Hah!"

Immediately, a booming shout, the monkey thought of no defense, its wooden staff quicker, and the staff technique became even more frantic, without any thought of defense, directly aiming at Xu Ran’s head!

The three siblings watching Xu Ran’s trial from outside the arena were surprised by the monkey’s self-damaging tactic.

"This monkey is exactly as recorded in the ancient books, with no strategy, yet it dares to trade injury for injury!"

The second senior brother was surprised by the monkey’s actions.

This method of trading injuries is clearly a disadvantage to itself.

Moreover, if its physical recovery ability is not as strong as Xu Ran’s, and continues in this way, it will become increasingly weaker.

"This is the monkey’s straightforward personality, no tricks, but this is also its weakness!"

The senior brother, having read the unique ancient texts in the Nine-Layered Giant Tower library, clearly knew how much harm this character could bring to the monkey!

"However." Suddenly, the senior brother changed his tone, "With Xu Ran’s current Physical Strength, he can’t resist."

"Also, the monkey’s target is Xu Ran’s head, while Xu Ran’s target is only the monkey’s chest!"

The senior brother frowned deeply, as if he could already foresee Xu Ran’s head being smashed.

Xu Ran was the same, seeing the monkey’s unconventional action, he frowned tightly.

He didn’t expect this monkey to have no thought of defense, embodying the saying "attack is the best defense" to the fullest!

However.

Xu Ran was not someone who would retreat in the face of challenges.

Moreover, the stick technique was already out, retracting it to change technique was too late.

Immediately.

Under everyone’s gaze, Xu Ran’s body turned slightly in an almost impossible way.

At once.

The stick technique intended to hit Xu Ran’s head deviated slightly, not directly hitting the head, but landed on his shoulder instead.

"Bang-"

"Bang---"

At the same time, two dull sounds echoed in the arena, a ripple appeared in the air, spreading everywhere.

Only to see.

The monkey’s wooden staff fiercely hammered Xu Ran’s shoulder, while Xu Ran’s wooden staff accurately struck the monkey’s chest.

"Did he dodge it?" The second senior brother felt very surprised upon seeing Xu Ran’s maneuver.

According to his combat experience, that strike was clearly unavoidable for Xu Ran at this stage.

His Body Technique was lacking, combat experience insufficient, observational skills weak; these were all weaknesses.

However.

This was Xu Ran, who forcibly twisted his body to dodge the stick aimed at his head!

The senior brother witnessing this scene, with frost in his eyes, showed a burst of surprise, exclaiming promptly.

"Good!"

The senior brother’s sudden shout startled the two beside him.

"Senior brother, it’s just one staff technique, no need to be so excited, right?"

The junior sister was puzzled, not understanding why the senior brother was so excited?

Although the second senior brother felt the same, since the senior brother was so excited, there must be something unexpected hidden within.

Then.

He recalled Xu Ran’s change just now, trying to find the reason for the senior brother’s excitement.

Moments later, the second senior brother opened his eyes wide, with a gleam in them.

"Incredible!"

The junior sister heard both senior brothers speak so and grew more puzzled.

She was only a Spiritual Power practitioner, lacking understanding and experience in close combat, unable to see Xu Ran’s finesse.

"Haha!" The second senior brother, seeing her confusion, couldn’t help laughter, immediately explaining to her.

"Xu Ran’s maneuver just seemed to tilt his body, but if you observe the movement of the staff carefully!"

"You’ll find he’s moving in sync with the staff, this is Human and Stick Unity!"
