Chapter 928 - 413: Technique!
The transformation of Xu Ran, as his opponent, the bald man, feels it most deeply.
While wielding his Red Tassel Spear, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
He never thought that Xu Ran’s progress in spear technique could be so great in such a short time.
Let it be known.
During the previous swordsmanship trial, Xu Ran showed tremendous progress, which was expected.
After all, the sword in his hand had been worn by the Sword Immortal throughout his life, and though it is merely a common iron sword made of Profound Iron, it has developed its own intelligence by the Sword Immortal’s side.
Moreover, it contains the Sword Immortal’s growth experiences.
Surely, Xu Ran, like him, entered the space within the iron sword and comprehended the true Sword Intent belonging to the Sword Immortal.
This explains why Xu Ran could easily defeat him.
But now, Xu Ran’s iron spear is a truly ordinary iron spear.
It is not the weapon of any Great Power or Spear God, and it doesn’t contain the Spear Intent of any Great Power.
So, how long did it take Xu Ran to transform from someone who completely couldn’t use a spear?
He is already able to duel with the bald man, who’s skilled in spear technique, for a long time without losing his ground!
He’s already a mature master in spear technique.
This in how little time!
"Xu Ran, you are a real genius!"
As the bald man defended against Xu Ran’s iron spear, he shouted loudly.
Xu Ran wasn’t distracted by his voice and seized the opportunity, swiftly adjusting his posture, holding the iron spear at an extremely fast speed.
First, there was a point of cold glint, followed by the spear’s emergence like a dragon!
Just see.
The frail Xu Ran tightly held the iron spear, like a giant white dragon, the spear tip radiating cold light, like a white giant dragon, fiercely stabbing toward the bald man.
Though this spear technique seems quite immature, the technique is not sophisticated, merely a common stabbing attack.
However, the unstoppable momentum carried by it is not to be underestimated, even terrifying to the timid!
The bald man was already in a daze, when the unstoppable momentum suddenly pressed towards him, along with a flash of cold light stabbing at his eyes, making him unable to open them.
Though briefly dazed, as Gatekeeper of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, he quickly came back to his senses, making an immediate response.
He bent down sharply, parallel to the ground, supporting himself with the Red Tassel Spear, simultaneously avoiding the cold light attacking his eyes, finally restoring his vision.
As soon as he opened his eyes, from the bald man’s perspective, he saw a cold light passing above his head, only a millimeter away from his skull.
"Hiss!"
Though the bald man avoided it, he still felt a sting.
The next moment, he saw a blood-red arc in his vision, with a fishy smell in the air.
No need to think.
This was caused by Xu Ran’s iron spear injuring him.
In the moment after the red arc appeared, a crack emerged on the bald man’s cheek, neither too small nor too large, about an inch long.
Moreover, the depth was not deep, only enough to bleed, having no impact on the bald man.
However.
This is absolutely a joyful event for Xu Ran.
After all.
This is the first time Xu Ran has injured the bald man since entering the spear technique trial, and it was an active attack.
This indicates Xu Ran’s spear technique is gradually approaching the bald man’s level.
The three junior sisters observing Xu Ran’s trial saw a blood mark appear on the bald man’s cheek.
Simultaneously, Xu Ran tightly held the iron spear, overshadowing the bald man, clearly seeing Xu Ran’s iron spear only a millimeter away from the bald man’s cheek.
If a gust of wind blows through the Dueling Arena, it might make the iron spear sway, truly touching the bald man’s cheek.
"Xu Ran’s spear technique progressed too fast. In how little time, he can already injure the bald man?!"
Seeing this scene, the junior sisters were as always shocked, even after seeing it many times, still stunned, filled with disbelief.
"Xu Ran’s spear technique is infinitely close to Great Success. The iron spear aimed at the bald man already forms a budding Spear Intent!"
The second senior brother’s eyes fixated on Xu Ran’s iron spear in the Dueling Arena, his gaze filled with golden light, as if looking at a rare masterpiece.
The first senior brother was the same, his eyes covered in blue ice, looking at Xu Ran as if admiring a rare masterpiece.
...
Meanwhile.
"Whiz--"
A gust of swift wind swept across the Dueling Arena as Xu Ran, holding the iron spear, landed steadily on the ground.
The spear tip was still stained with a drop of blood, belonging to the bald man.
"Heh---"
The bald man, his cheek scratched, quietly breathed and used the Red Tassel Spear to stand upright, then turned his gaze towards Xu Ran who just landed.
"Interesting!"
The bald man wiped the blood flowing from his cheek, staring fiercely at Xu Ran as if eyeing prey.
No one knows how long he existed within the Nine-Layered Giant Tower.
Moreover, being able to become the Gatekeeper of this level, he himself mastered eighteen martial arts and weapons in his lifetime.
Plus, with the Nine-Layered Giant Tower’s enhancement, in any trial within, the weapons and martial arts he mastered are all at Great Success.
