Fragment 449: New information emerges
A gray light cluster flew into Xu Ran’s forehead mark.
The mark flickered, seemingly absorbing this reward.
The bald creature appeared again, but its aura had changed.
The second trial is Leg Technique.
This time, the bald creature’s leg technique was like lightning, extremely fast, and exceptionally cunning.
Its legs seemed boneless, able to twist into unbelievable angles to launch attacks from any direction.
Xu Ran’s body was once again kicked flying, swept away, severely injured.
The Leg Technique is vastly different from Fist Technique, demanding higher flexibility, explosive power, and balance.
But the gray mark activated its learning mechanism again.

...
Xu Ran’s body started mimicking. His leg muscles began to stretch and contract in an inhuman way.
His center of gravity became exceptionally stable; no matter what attack he endured, he could quickly adjust.
The bald creature’s leg technique was no longer a secret.
Its every kick, every sweep, every unbelievable joint twist was perfectly recorded and analyzed by the gray mark.
"Is this... Shadow-Tracking Leg?"
New information fragment emerges.
This leg technique is known for its extraordinary speed and trajectory, like chasing one’s shadow.
Under the horrified gaze of the wandering souls, Xu Ran’s body moved like a phantom in space, his leg shadows like illusions, making it hard to distinguish between reality and fiction.
He began to use Shadow-Tracking Leg to counter Shadow-Tracking Leg.
The bald creature’s attacks became ineffective again.
Its speed, Xu Ran was faster.
Its angles, Xu Ran was more cunning. Its power, Xu Ran was stronger.
The wandering souls were already numb.
"Here we go again..."
"Can he really master all the techniques in seven days?"
"This is not a ’seed’... This is a monster!"
On the fifth day, Xu Ran’s body delivered a precise Shadow-Tracking side kick to the joint of the bald creature.
Crack!
It was like hearing the sound of bone breaking, and the bald creature’s body disintegrated again.
[Trial Completed, Defeat Count: 2]
[Reward: Shadow-Tracking Leg True Essence Fragment (Initial Tier)]
A gray light flashed, and the bald creature appeared again.
The third trial is Swordsmanship.
The bald creature now held a gray longsword.
Its swordsmanship was light and graceful, elusive like an antelope’s horns.
The sword tip exuded sharpness, every swing carried the power to cut through space.
Xu Ran’s body was shrouded in sword light, and numerous fine wounds appeared on him.
Swordsmanship is not just techniques; more importantly, it’s Sword Intent and understanding of the sword.
The gray mark started to analyze Swordsmanship.
It analyzed not only the body’s movements but also the connection between the sword and the body, and the intangible yet lethal Sword Intent.

...
Xu Ran also began to wield a gray longsword.
His body started to dance, initially stiff but quickly becoming fluid.
He began mimicking the bald creature’s sword techniques, from the simplest thrust, chop, lift, sweep to complex sword flowers and unending Sword Momentum.
The bald creature’s swordsmanship was exquisite, but Xu Ran’s imitation ability was even more terrifying.
He seemed able to see through the essence of the sword techniques, directly grasping their core.
"Is this... Traceless Sword Technique?"
New information fragment.
A swordsmanship that pursues extreme speed and concealment, like wind passing tracelessly.
Xu Ran’s sword grew faster and harder to catch.
His sword tip was like a poisonous snake flicking its tongue, appearing at the most unexpected angles.
His Sword Momentum was relentless, like a river flowing.
The bald creature’s swordsmanship began to be suppressed. Its sword techniques were easily neutralized by Xu Ran, its Sword Intent copied and surpassed.
The wandering souls were completely silent.
They could no longer find words to describe this scene.
On the fourth day, Xu Ran’s body delivered a Traceless Thrust, the sword tip piercing through the bald creature’s defenses.
Sss!
The bald creature disintegrated.
[Trial Completed, Defeat Count: 3]
[Reward: Traceless Sword Technique True Essence Fragment (Initial Tier)]
A gray light flashed, and the bald creature appeared again.
The fourth trial is Spear Technique.
The bald creature held a gray long spear.
Its spear technique was grand and expansive, heavy like a mountain, yet swift like a dragon.
The long spear swung, carrying overwhelming power that could crack space.
Xu Ran’s body began learning Spear Technique.
Spear Technique emphasizes the harmony between waist and horse and the penetration of power.
This is different from the previous fist, leg, and sword.
The gray mark once again showcased its terrifying adaptability.
It analyzed the weight, length, balance of the long spear, and how to perfectly convey the body’s power to the spear tip.
[Analysis Completion: 12%]
[Analysis Completion: 35%]
...
Xu Ran also wielded a long spear.
His body started adapting to the rhythm of the long spear.
From initial clumsiness to later ease of movement.
His every thrust carried the sound of breaking air, every sweep bore immense power.
Though the bald creature’s spear technique was strong, Xu Ran’s learning speed trapped it in a predicament once more.
Its techniques were perfectly replicated by Xu Ran, then surpassed with greater power and faster speed.
"Is this... Earth-Splitting Spear Intent?"
Information fragment flashed.
A spear technique pursuing ultimate penetration and earth-shattering.
Xu Ran’s long spear was like a poisonous dragon emerging from a cave, with unmatched penetration.
Every attack seemed to tear through this gray space.
The bald creature’s spear technique was perfectly countered by Xu Ran’s.
Its power was dismantled, its speed surpassed.
The wandering souls just watched, their eyes only empty.
