Chapter 958 - 428: Lock!
From Infant Prodigy to Daoist Monarch
Volume One
Chapter 258
"What is... going on?"
Second Senior Brother stared blankly at the scene in the Dueling Arena, where the shedding scales of the Wind Dragon continuously emitted ’whooshing’ sounds.
Such a sudden twist left Second Senior Brother somewhat at a loss.
In their view, Xu Ran facing nine Wind Dragons was already overwhelmed and might even be at risk of falling.
No way!
The targeting of Prisoner Wind was just too strong.
If given enough time, Xu Ran could stay in the environment completely filled with Prisoner Wind for an hour.
Then, in their minds, he would easily pass this trial.
After all, they had witnessed Xu Ran’s talent firsthand.
But.
How much time has passed?
Not even a quarter of an hour.
Xu Ran found two methods one after another.
The first method was through the withered wood in the valley, buying himself a little time to adapt to part of Prisoner Wind.
The second method...
This is the reason for Second Senior Brother’s blank stare.
Because the second method of adapting to Prisoner Wind, he hadn’t found.
The next moment, he turned his gaze to the equally dazed Eldest Senior Brother.
However, Eldest Senior Brother’s daze was somewhat different from theirs.
"Eldest Senior Brother, do you know how Xu Ran overcame the wind and adapted to Prisoner Wind?"
Second Senior Brother holds Eldest Senior Brother in great respect.
Hearing the voice from beside him, Eldest Senior Brother was first stunned, then came back to his senses and shook his head.
"Not sure!"
That’s right!
Just not sure.
Even Eldest Senior Brother of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower did not know how Xu Ran adapted to Prisoner Wind!
Upon hearing this definitive news.
For a moment.
Second Senior Brother and Junior Sister once again fell into a state of shock.
"Elder... Eldest Senior Brother, are... you serious?"
Junior Sister stuttered as she asked.
"Yes!"
Eldest Senior Brother nodded to confirm.
Regarding this matter, Eldest Senior Brother had nothing to hide.
Knowledge is knowledge, ignorance is ignorance!
For a moment.
The three of them simultaneously turned their gaze to the trial.
None of the three knew how Xu Ran managed it, so did the Gatekeeper of this trial, Baldhead, know?
Everyone was eagerly hoping to know the answer!
...
For a moment.
Only the "whooshing" sound of the Wind Dragon remained in the high air within the Dueling Arena.
The sound was full of reluctance.
Clearly.
To these Wind Dragons composed of Prisoner Wind, a child just entering the valley at not even two years old had cracked their mystery.
At this moment.
Scales continued to fall from the sky, leaving one overwhelmed!
"You... did great!"
After a long while, Baldhead stared at Xu Ran, speaking without taking his eyes off him!
One could tell that Baldhead’s voice was trembling.
It was imaginable how deeply Xu Ran’s actions shattered Baldhead’s heart!
"Not too bad, just trying to get home early!"
Xu Ran gladly accepted Baldhead’s praise, whether genuine or not!
After all, what’s wrong with a child under two missing home?
"Your thinking is exceptional, actually knowing how to utilize the weaknesses of Prisoner Wind, and you found it successfully!"
Baldhead affirmed again.
At this point, the three senior siblings outside the arena stretched their necks wanting to know how exactly Xu Ran achieved it.
Eldest Senior Brother was the same, his eyes intensely eager to discover what kind of weaknesses Prisoner Wind had that Xu Ran could find?
"To be precise, it’s not a weakness of Prisoner Wind, but a weakness of all objects!"
Xu Ran’s words were like thunderbolts on a clear day, striking the minds of the three senior siblings who were listening intently.
Originally, they hadn’t known how Xu Ran achieved it, or how to find the weakness of Prisoner Wind in such a short time.
What is the nature of Prisoner Wind?
It is used to confine creatures of the Nether Abyss, and if it could be cracked so easily, the creatures of the Nether Abyss in the Origin Realm would have been swarming the skies long ago.
But.
When Xu Ran spoke these words in the air, all three were dumbfounded.
Because Xu Ran’s words had a strong direct implication, almost enlightening them.
Even when things appear to be in close contact, there are still cracks existing between them!
Such gaps are problems that almost all organisms face over time.
But.
This problem, known to everyone.
Yet, to find, analyze, and ultimately derive an answer from this universally known weakness.
One could say.
In the history of the Origin Realm, no one had accomplished it.
But.
Today.
Xu Ran did it right in front of their eyes!
Such a thing happened in front of them!
No wonder Xu Ran could harness this effect so vividly in such a short time!
"But..."
Within the trial, Baldhead’s hoarse voice suddenly emerged!
"The trial for this stage is about flying speed!"
Then.
With a quick hand gesture, the howling winds suddenly disintegrated, transforming into wisps of white mist fading amidst the area.
And when the Wind Dragon turned to mist, the wisps wove together, eventually forming a thick, white chain.
This chain was densely covered with runes.
As each Wind Dragon turned into a chain, all remaining winds simultaneously turned into a white chain!
