Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 29: Advanced Comprehension Obtained! Hu Niu's Second Divine Punishment?
[In the pitch-black darkness, you ignored numerous distractions and accurately detected your target, successfully triggering a new magical skill—Night Focus. (Advancement sequence: Night Focus—Night Slayer—Darkest Realm—Origin of Darkness...)]

[Nighttime Concentration]: Your mental focus in the dark is enhanced. 20% for beginners, 40% for minor success, 60% for major success, and 80% for complete mastery.

[Night Killer]: Your endurance, lethality, reaction speed, and recovery ability in the dark are more than three times that of normal times, with an upper limit of ten times.

[Darkest Domain]: You will control darkness, swallow up all the light around you, and create a battle field with you as the main battlefield.

[Origin of Darkness]: You will seize the Origin of Darkness and use it for your own benefit!
"Hmm...it's definitely a different style!!"

Xu Ran was slightly surprised.

The first sequence of this magical skill starts at a completely different level.

Recalling the amazing skills he possessed.

When they are first triggered, they are just basic life skills, such as crawling fast, playing hide-and-seek, running fast... They are ordinary and any child can have these skills.

It took Xu Ran working hard to make 10000 points of progress to advance them to the second sequence, turning them into truly magical skills.

But now... the first sequence has begun to become [magical]?

"Is it because I've been reading more and more books, and my understanding has improved significantly, so the benefits are starting to show? Or is there some other reason?"

"If it's simply due to comprehension, that doesn't make sense. Because the fake death just now was just a [normal fake death] start..."

Xu Ran raised his eyebrows and thought seriously for a moment.

"I understand! It's probably because the triggering conditions for [Night Focus] are quite harsh and the threshold for triggering is high, so the entry-level skill is naturally much more powerful."

"All in all, another useful skill!"

"Life is full of surprises! Who would have thought that after a day of hard study, I could trigger two magical skills at once in the evening?"

“Maybe reading can really make people lucky?!”

Xu Ran suddenly thought of the proverb and couldn't help but smile happily.

"I don't know if studying can make others lucky, but I will definitely become stronger through studying!"

"In that case, then be more self-disciplined! Go to the library during the day, borrow books and take them home at night to continue reading!"

Muttering to himself.

Xu Ran's eyes suddenly lit up: "What a good idea!"

"If you only read fifty books during the day, it will take 145 days to advance from [Read Ten Thousand Books] to the second level [Higher Comprehension]. But if you read seventy books a day, it will only take 99 days!"

"Ninety-nine days, what a beautiful and familiar number!"

"Okay, let's do it. Self-discipline has become my life anyway."

Xu Ran, who has been self-disciplined since the first day he was born, does not care about the life and death of others at all.

I secretly made an even crazier self-discipline plan in my heart.

At the same time, he casually put a hundred practice darts into the basket and slowly walked into the living room.

living room.

My mother folded the washed clothes and placed them on the sofa early in the morning.

"Baby, go take a shower and go to bed. Even though you're already 1.4 meters tall, if you stay up late, you might not grow taller! If you're less than 1.5 meters tall, it's a very bad thing."

Xu Ranshuai's face was full of pride: "...Mom, you're worrying too much. There's no way I can be 1.5 meters tall! I can easily be 1.8 meters tall!"

My mother laughed and said, "If you don't go to bed until after ten tomorrow, you'll be six feet eighty, baby."

"Then I'll go to bed early tomorrow."

Xu Ran made an OK gesture and went to take a shower with his clothes.

After taking a shower.

Xu Ran went into the bedroom.

But before going to bed, he smiled at his mother and said, "Good night, Mom."

"Good night."

"Snapped--"

The lights went out.

In the darkness, a handsome face moved from the bed to the ceiling...

Gecko Wall Climbing Skill Progress +1...

Gecko Wall Climbing Skill Progress +1...

Gecko Wall Climbing Skill Progress +1...

After a few days of adaptation, Xu Ran's "magnetic suction technology" has reached perfection and will never fall off again.

Silent all night.

The next day. Reading progress +70...

Qi and health value +16 points...

Another day passed, and my reading progress increased by 70...

Qi and health value +16 points...

On the third day, my mother, who was accompanying my son to study in the library, suddenly heard her cell phone vibrate.

connected.

On the other end of the phone, Hu Niu's mother spoke rapidly: "Xiao Ran's mother... Xiao Liuli fainted again! It's a bit like last time! Can Xiao Ran come over? We need his help!"

Lin Qian immediately stood up: "Xiao Ran, hurry up, Xiao Liuli fainted, just like last time!"

"Received, set off immediately."

Xu Ran didn't even close the book. He jumped up from his chair and walked quickly while thinking: "Strange, Hu Niu actually fainted? Isn't her root bone already formed?"

It had been two and a half years since Hu Niu fainted and swallowed 20 drops of crystal beast blood in the hospital. The scarlet golden light from her heart hadn't been seen again!
Xu Ran has been paying attention to this matter.

While paying attention to Hu Niu, he also paid attention to other geniuses in the kindergarten.

But after observing for two and a half years, he had never seen the brilliance of other geniuses.

In other words, the only root bone light that Xu Ran could see was Hu Niu's.

But then, problems arise.

Why can I only see Hu Niu's?
He didn't understand. Could there be some kind of bond? But he and Huniu had no blood relationship. The two mothers had only known each other when their children were eight and ten months old. What kind of bond could there be?
"If it's because of the system... I can see Hu Niu's innate strength. Then I should be able to see the innate strength of other geniuses with the help of the system!"

"But the last time I fought against Zhu Yuheng and the others, I was able to guess their innate strength through their abilities, but I couldn't directly see their innate strength radiate."

Hu Niu's specialness aroused Xu Ran's strong curiosity.

But he couldn't find the answer, so he just put it aside and ignored it.

As a result... Hu Niu actually awakened for the second time!

Now I’m even more curious!

along the way.

Xu Ran’s thoughts raced dozens of times.

Unknowingly.

He and his mother have arrived at Director Qin's laboratory.

Push door.

enter.

Everyone's eyes turned to him.

Director Qin was the first to speak: "Xiao Ran! Come and see, should we continue using the same method as last time?"

Xu Ran: “…”

Wow, the research director of the Demigod Kindergarten starts asking questions to a four-year-old child like me, right?
It is simply contrary to Tiangang!

“Although I am indeed very good.”

Muttering to himself, Xu Ran quickly walked to the bedside and observed Hu Niu.

At this moment, Hu Niu's small body was bent like a shrimp, her pretty little face was pale, and her originally lively and energetic facial features were wrinkled in pain. Sweat wet her long eyelashes and the locks of hair on her forehead, and her head was covered with white sweat.

"My heart is glowing!"

Xu Ran stared.

Two and a half years later, he once again saw the red-gold light in Hu Niu's heart.

"But it seems like I'm the only one who can see it?"

He looked up at the head teacher, Director Qin, his mother, Aunt Chen, the guard, his assistant Xiao Liu, and the other staff members... There was no doubt that they were completely unaware of the bright light in Hu Niu's heart.

"Sure enough, only I can see it."

"But why can't I see the brilliance of other geniuses?"

Xu Ran was surprised.

Unfortunately, he didn't have any extra time to think and had to save Hu Niu first.

"Aunt Qin, Xiao Liuli's bones need more energy. Just give her the true blood of a seventh-level crystal beast or above, just like last time."

"no problem."

Director Qin nodded. She had already asked her assistant Xiao Liu to fetch the real blood of the crystal beast and was waiting on the side.

Treatment began immediately.

The sharp scalpel cut open the tip of Hu Niu's toes.

Drops of the seventh-level crystal beast's true blood dripped into the wound and were drawn into the body by the baptism of the root bones.

"Master, twenty drops of real blood don't seem to be enough."

The headmaster waved his hand and said, "Then it's fifty drops. It doesn't matter how much resources you spend."

He was able to suppress other geniuses for two full years in the Demigod Kindergarten despite being two years younger than him.

What does it matter if you waste a mere 300 million yuan in resources?
The assistant, Sister Xiao Liu, immediately took out fifty drops of real blood. After a while, the new fifty drops of real blood were consumed.

Hu Niu, who had absorbed a full seventy drops of real blood, was like a sponge filled with water. Her bent body softened and stretched, her painful expression disappeared, and her small face regained its healthy white and rosy complexion.

See this scene.

Hu Niu's mother's heart slowly settled down: "Thank you, Director, thank you, Director Qin, thank you, Xiao Ran..."

Director Qin: "No need to thank me, I'm glad you're okay."

The headmaster said: "Are you really alright? Check carefully, there must not be any sequelae!"

Assistant Xiao Liu: "No problem, I'll do a full body check immediately." Amidst the caring, Hu Niu opened her eyes as black as gemstones, looked around, and said in a sticky voice: "Director, Mom, Aunt Lin, Brother Xiao Ran, Aunt Qin, Sister Xiao Liu..."

"Did I faint again?"

Director Qin smoothed Hu Niu's messy hair and said, "You should be getting stronger again. Do you feel any difference in yourself?"

Hu Niu shook her head blankly. "I don't know. I'm just a little hungry and want to eat some meat."

A group of people burst into laughter: "Okay, okay. After the physical examination, we can go eat meat."

Hu Niu jumped out of bed: "Great!"

See this scene.

Hu Niu's mother was at a loss for words. She had forgotten all the thrill and pain she had just experienced in the blink of an eye. How foolish of her mind!

Assistant Xiao Liu examined it seriously. "Everything is normal. Only the magnetic field fluctuations of the high nuclear energy cluster at the root bone have become several times stronger."

She picked up the data one by one.

When she saw the Qi and blood values, her expression froze.

"Jiang Liuli, 4 years and 10 months old, Qi and blood value 1299.66 points."

Director Qin's face was filled with disbelief. "Are you sure? This is over 100 points higher than when Zhu Yuheng was five! Adam only had 1130 points when he was five!"

Assistant Xiao Liu: "Sure, the instrument won't make a mistake."

Director Qin took a deep breath and said, "So, what kind of bones does Xiao Liuli have?!"

She was stunned.

Judging from the data and performance, Xiao Liuli's bones seem to be comparable to Zhu Yuheng in quality?

Zhu Yuheng has the most special time bone!

Can Xiao Liuli compare with him? !
For a moment, Director Qin was so curious that he even wanted to dissect Hu Niu.

But she held back.

He just stared at Hu Niu in surprise.

The headmaster, upon hearing the data, couldn't contain his laughter. "Great, great, great! Zhu Yuheng, Xu Ran, Jiang Liuli, I actually found several super treasures at the same time. Great, great! Great, great!"

His face was flushed with smile, how could he look so serious as usual?

My mother excitedly shook Aunt Chen's hand: "Lizhen, don't get excited! Don't get excited!"

Aunt Chen: "No, no, no, Xiao Ran's mom, I think you are more excited than me. You're scratching me and it hurts."

Mom: “…”

On the side, Xu Ran observed Hu Niu carefully.

He really wanted to know who this person was who had the ability to awaken twice.

But seeing how confused Hu Niu is, she probably doesn’t even understand it herself... We can only wait until she turns six!
Xu Ran smiled faintly: "Bye, Principal, goodbye Aunt Qin... I'm going back to the library to continue studying."

Director Qin suddenly grabbed Xu Ran and said, "I want to study your aptitude!" "Xiao Ran, you read dozens of books every day. Can you remember the key points in them?"

Xu Ran raised his eyebrows, his expression alert: "I can't remember, I just don't seek to understand it thoroughly, I swallowed it whole."

Done.

Xu Ran slipped away immediately.

Nothing is more important than liver progress.

Reading progress +50 points...

Reading progress +20 points...

Qi and health value +16 points...

Self-discipline proved to be addictive. For a while, Xu Ran simply couldn't stop.

Read 50 books a day +...

One hundred days passed in a flash.

Day 1841 of early childhood!
A window seat in the library.

The setting sun shines on Xu Ran’s handsome little face.

His slender fingers closed the 10000th book in his life.

As he took a long breath, the smile on his face grew brighter and brighter.

Coming soon!
Coming soon!
After working hard for a hundred days, the long-awaited heavenly sound resounds in my mind at this moment——

[Congratulations! You have diligently read 10000 books, reaching the maximum reading limit. You have automatically been promoted to Advanced Comprehension...]

[Higher Comprehension]: Your comprehension is greatly enhanced. From an ordinary human, you become a cultivator with exceptional comprehension. Your research into martial arts, unique skills, formations, alchemy, etc., will be more effective with less effort.

[Advanced Comprehension: 0/100000... (Your actions such as alchemy, martial arts training, creating martial arts, and reading will all increase your progress in advanced comprehension...)]

As the prompt sound falls.

"Crash-"

Streams of cool water flowed out from the core deep inside his head, like a clear spring in the mountains, constantly washing and cleansing his 1000 billion brain cells.

The cleaning speed is extremely fast.

In just a moment, Xu Ran felt as if his brain was taken out, cleansed and upgraded.

The books I browsed through were instantly very impressive.

In a short while, he gained a deeper understanding of the magical skills he had mastered. In the future, he would be able to perform them more gracefully and smoothly, making them seem like effortless.

"Good boy! I'm going to grow a more perfect brain!"

Xu Ran was slightly surprised.

Because at this moment, he found that his perspective on everything had become several times calmer and wiser.

"Now that the liver is fully developed, it is definitely several times easier."

Xu Ran stared intently and began to observe everything around him carefully.

The direction of the wind, how to swim in it...

The angle of light, how to perform the Phantom Step in the light...

[Insight into flaws progress +1...]

[Insight into flaws progress +1...]

[Insight into flaws progress +1...]

Xu Ran smiled, a smile that was extremely joyful.

"The progress rate is exactly the same as before! It's exactly what I expected—the higher the level of understanding, the faster the progress!

This way, in just 500 days, I can bring all of the dozen or so magical skills to the third level!"

The third sequence of skills.

There's invisibility! There's the void forming a wall! There's three thousand thunders! There's the divine weapon throwing! There's the origami sealing! There's the reattachment of severed limbs!
All high-end goods!
In Xu Ran's opinion, the magical skills of the second sequence have a bit of martial arts flavor.

The third-order magical skills are the high-level immortal skills that can give him more confidence.

True.

When you have the second sequence.

When he encountered Guhuo's minions, Xu Ran also killed them all.

But the second abduction was delayed.

Xu Ran started to be alert and started to be suspicious!
It won't be a big wave, right?
Therefore, to be on the safe side, the third sequence must be completed!

At least you have to get the invisibility and the limb reattachment skills!

"After 500 days, I will be six years and six months old, just in time to break free from the second life shackles. The conversion rate of Qi and blood into Qi power will increase to over 50%!"

"Only then can I go out and train without any worries, and complete the two golden achievements [Youth Supreme] and [Burning Killing Intent]."

While muttering to himself, Xu Ran glanced at the Daojun interface.

Name: Xu Ran
Age: 1841 days of early childhood (5 years and one month)

Qi and Blood: 11696/10

Spirit: 56/100

【Achievement】:……

【Achievement Mission】……

……

"Very good. The ultimate goal for the next 500 days is to master a series of third-order magical skills!"

"Complete a more perfect transformation."

Xu Ran nodded secretly.

"Brother Xiao Ran~Brother Xiao Ran~"

Hu Niu suddenly popped her little head out, grinning, and staring at Xu Ran with her dark gemstone eyes.

She lowered her voice and didn't dare to shout loudly. It was obvious that she had been scolded by her mother.

"what happened?"

"Brother Xiao Ran, I have learned your body movements!"

Xu Ran laughed heartily, unconcerned, but his face was full of the expression of someone teasing a little brat: "...Really? Just show it off here. I want to see what kind of body movements you've learned..."

Hu Niu's face was full of seriousness and solemnity: "Brother Xiao Ran looks down on people! Humph!"

Xu Ran spread his hands: "I'm not looking down on you. It's just that my body movements are hard to replicate..."

Hu Niu pouted: "You just look down on people!"

"Huh! If I learn it! Brother Xiao Ran, you must teach me more fighting skills, okay?!"

As she spoke, Hu Niu, who always relied on brute force to conquer her opponents, had a sly glint in her big, sparkling eyes.

Xu Ran was slightly stunned.

No... Could it be that Hu Niu has also grown a new brain?
You're actually starting to play tricks on me?
Although the mind of such a little kid can be seen through at a glance.

But she wouldn't really learn the Phantom Step, would she?
