Chapter 923 - 410: Explosion! (Part 2)
Such a method, unfailingly successful.
This time is no different.
Senior Brother’s cold demeanor warmed slightly upon hearing Junior Sister’s words.
After all.
In the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, although he is the Senior Brother, all of the disciples within are satisfied with his reputation.
"Dark Force, though it’s the standard entry point for every technique, deploying it in actual combat is extremely challenging.
Moreover, at most, it can only be embedded into various techniques and Divine Techniques without destroying the previous intent!
Achieving such is exceptionally difficult!"
To put it plainly.
It’s essentially about combining Xu Ran’s power burst with Dark Force.
However.
Dark Force and power bursts can only be achieved over time through accumulation.
Xu Ran has mastered every inch of his body to perfection.
This is why Xu Ran was asked.
If Xu Ran had mastered Dark Force before the trial, then his earlier performance would not have been so stunning.
But.
Once this Dark Force truly stems from Xu Ran’s early beginnings, it will be an extremely perfect existence.
After thinking for a moment, Baldy chose to trust Xu Ran.
After all, given his previous performance, there’s no need to hold back in such a trial.
After a brief pause.
Baldy tightened his grip on the Red Tassel Spear again.
Instantly, a fierce aura erupted from him, tearing the air asunder, producing a mournful ’wuwuwu’ sound.
In the next moment.
Baldy’s figure vanished from his spot, and when Xu Ran saw him again, he was already in front of him.
Seeing the enemy right before him, Xu Ran instinctively positioned the Iron Spear before his chest.
This technique is exactly like the one he used earlier, is it not?
But.
The aura emerging from Baldy is indeed even stronger than before.
"Dang--"
Moments later, the spear tip of the Red Tassel Spear, like a thousand-pound stone, fiercely crashed into Xu Ran’s Iron Spear, causing a violent rumbling sound.
Baldy exerted his full strength.
Smashing.
This too counts as an offensive strategy within Spear Techniques.
After all, the spear, being long and heavy, naturally has an advantage in length over other weapons, and the materials used to forge spears are usually unparalleled and incredibly heavy.
Even though Baldy’s spear looks like an ordinary Red Tassel Spear, it was actually forged from meteorites, weighing several hundred pounds.
The already heavy Red Tassel Spear is infused with Baldy’s aura, filled with the essence of destruction.
The repeated strikes of the Red Tassel Spear smashed against Xu Ran’s upright Iron Spear.
At that moment.
Xu Ran was still bewildered.
The sudden increase in intensity caught him off guard, causing him to retreat continuously, clearly thrown off balance by this aggressive onslaught, his tiny feet kicking up dust as he stumbled back.
"Are you alright?"
Baldy, accompanied by the crisp metallic clash against the Iron Spear, grinned while staring at Xu Ran, seemingly wanting to etch Xu Ran’s current expression into memory.
"F-feeling... it’s... okay!"
Xu Ran stuttered as he spoke.
The reason being the relentless smashing of the Red Tassel Spear, causing his small and frail frame to sink deeper into the earth.
Right now, Xu Ran was akin to a mole being hammered, except there’s only one hole!
"Boom--"
"Boom--"
"Boom--"
"Boom--"
...
In the Dueling Arena, each echoing thud sent vibrations through the ground, embedding Xu Ran’s body even deeper into the earth.
As Xu Ran’s body was repeatedly nailed into the ground by the Red Tassel Spear, countless scratches appeared on the surface, some of the wounds bleeding profusely.
Soon, the ground around Xu Ran was stained red, the air suffused with a metallic smell.
"How are you feeling?"
Seeing Xu Ran’s aura gradually wane, Baldy posed the same question again.
It was this very sentence that rekindled the fading light in Xu Ran’s eyes.
The indomitable spirit within him instantly ignited, and he glared fiercely.
"Continue!"
A furious shout erupted from his mouth.
Baldy’s lips twitched upon hearing this.
He didn’t expect a child of less than two years to possess such resilient spirit.
Right now, Xu Ran was nearly buried underground, blood gushing from his body.
Even though his body endowed with remarkable regenerative capabilities.
Nonetheless, recovery demands a process.
And this recovery process, although appearing fast, requires the flesh to undergo the cycle from injury to healing.
The sensation first felt like innumerable ants crawling all over him, a subtle discomfort that’s deeply unsettling.
This feeling persists until the wounds fully heal.
At this point.
Xu Ran’s body was continually scraped against the tough ground, with new wounds emerging as old ones healed.
Yet, despite enduring such discomforting conditions, Xu Ran persisted unwaveringly.
"Whew!"
Finally, just as Baldy exhaled a breath of relief and paused, his hand movement swiftly resumed.
It was at this very moment.
Xu Ran, who had been treated like a mole, explosively unleashed an immensely powerful aura.
"Boom--"
A massive Energy erupted from his body, sending sweeping invisible currents like a tempest, swirling around Xu Ran.
Even Baldy, who had been overpowering Xu Ran moments ago, was forcibly pushed back five meters away from him by the intense current.
"Crack---crack---crunch---"
As the sounds of fracturing echoed, the ground began to crack, seemingly heralding the emergence of something at its core.
"Boom--"
Soon after the cracking started, the solid earth exploded, casting rocks of various sizes in all directions.
Simultaneously, Xu Ran’s small figure, like an agile monkey, darted nimbly among the airborne rocks, swiftly reaching Baldy’s side.
The time taken for Xu Ran to escape his predicament and appear before Baldy was merely a fleeting instant.
Yet within that instant, the originally scarred surface had those centipede-like wounds vanished entirely.
The red liquid covering his body solidified, making him appear filthy, but his Spirit was incredibly vigorous!
Standing across Xu Ran and witnessing his demeanor, Baldy’s heart skipped a beat.
Premonition: "Trouble looms!"
Indeed, as Xu Ran touched the ground, he seized the nearby Iron Spear weighing hundreds of pounds and lunged fiercely at Baldy’s chest.
Such a move was performed by Baldy earlier.
Moreover, the aura radiating from Xu Ran was even stronger than Baldy’s!
"Let you experience the mole treatment too!"
Immediately, Xu Ran roared mid-air, releasing a powerful aura.
Seeing Xu Ran suddenly on the offensive, Baldy realized Xu Ran just had another breakthrough.
Not a direct confrontation!
In the blink of an eye, Baldy thought up the best strategy: evade!
And without delay.
Preparing to leave, Baldy suddenly found his feet immobile.
Witnessing this, Xu Ran smirked, "How’s my Gravity Suppression? Pretty good, huh!"
