Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 34: The reward promised by the headmaster. Insight and aptitude = omnipotence?

In response to the director's question, Feng Yan glanced at Xu Ran without saying a word, as if seeking his consent.

It must be said that Feng Yan is indeed a real man. Not only can he take on responsibilities, but he is also very tight-lipped and will not say a word about anything without permission.

In response to Feng Yan's inquiring gaze, Xu Ran naturally nodded in agreement.

It's just an auxiliary skill, there's no need to hide it, and now is not the time to hide it.

Feng Yan coughed and said, "Director, this is all thanks to Xu Ran. He comforted me just now, and the fear in my head immediately disappeared. I no longer trembled or broke out in cold sweats."

The headmaster thought he had misheard: "Huh?"

Aunt Lu Ya raised her eyebrows. "Ah? How is that possible? It clearly requires a high-level spiritual practitioner! Xu Ran is only a little over five years old, right? Even if his physique is a bit extraordinary, it's impossible for him to master the abilities of a spiritual practitioner, right?"

The headmaster agreed with Lu Meizi's words: "It's all right after a while of comfort? This can't be Xu Ran's fault! I see that you have always been the strongest one here. It must be your will that overcame your fear!"

Feng Yan said firmly, "No, it's all thanks to Xu Ran! I don't know why, but his comfort has a special effect!"

Seeing Feng Yan persisting.

The headmaster was skeptical.

To be honest, even though he had seen countless geniuses in his life, he still couldn't accept that Xu Ran's comfort had any special effect.

It's so against common sense!

Xu Ran shook his head: "Headmaster, Aunt Lu, I don't have time to explain to you. I'll just take this time to calm the little ones down!"

At this time, the most important thing is to race against time to save the little ones.

Xu Ran didn't like talking nonsense, so he immediately squatted in front of the little kid who was about to faint from crying, and the "spell" to dispel fear echoed in the little kid's ears...

After twenty times, the little kid's emotions stabilized, his heart-wrenching crying stopped, and he fell asleep peacefully in his mother's arms.

Xiaodouding's mother hugged Xu Ran and kissed him: "Thank you, Xiaoran!"

Xu Ran: “…”

Auntie, you are taking advantage of me!

He shook his head helplessly and turned around to continue clearing the little ones' fear.

Principal: “It actually works?”

Lu Ya: "I've learned a lot! Is this child's comprehension and talent so extraordinary?"

The two seemed to have refreshed their knowledge and looked at Xu Ran's operation with astonishment.

The headmaster was suspicious: "It's just an ordinary spell, I can recite it too."

talking.

The headmaster walked up to a little kid and repeated Xu Ran's spell twenty times without missing a word.

The little kid cried even more miserably.

The headmaster dodged with a guilty look on his face: "Strange, the same spell only works when Xu Ran recites it!"

The headmaster frowned, looked at Xu Ran's handsome profile, and fell into deep thought.

Xu Ran spoke much faster.

But every word is clearly legible.

Reciting the mantra twenty times is neither too slow nor too fast, just one minute and twenty seconds.

After more than half an hour, all thirty little kids regained their tranquility and peace.

"Thank you, Xiao Ran, you are so awesome!"

"Hurry up and thank Brother Xiao Ran. I will learn from him in the future. Look how good he is!"

A few little kids who still had some energy left said in baby voices: "Brother Xiao Ran is a superhero! We love Brother Xiao Ran the most!"

Amid the tears and gratitude of a group of mothers, Xu Ran became a superhero.

"I can improve my reputation while making progress. I'm pretty awesome."

Xu Ran smiled faintly.

Turning her head, she looked at the 17 super geniuses of the same class. They were all over six years old and had mastered their bones, making them more resistant to nightmares and fears. They did not faint from crying, but just lay in their mothers' arms, trembling with fear, sweating profusely, sobbing and sniffling.

But even so, their condition is still worrying.

Xu Ran wasted no time and released the "spell" one by one.

Every twenty or so times the spell was cast, a child would regain his composure and escape the terror of nightmares.

"Xiao Ran, thank you."

"Thank you so much, Xiao Ran. I really don't know what I would do without you. Thanks to you..."

The mothers' eyes were red and they hugged Xu Ran and kissed him.

"Thank you?"

Xu Ran was quite touched. The mothers' eyes of sincere gratitude were quite warm, even warmer than the spring sunshine.

His motivation increased a lot without him noticing.

More than twenty minutes later, all the children in the Demigod Kindergarten escaped from the nightmare under Xu Ran's spell.

The noisy and crying activity center suddenly became quiet, and the children fell asleep one after another, breathing steadily.

[Current progress in dispelling fear: 47/10000...]

All the children in the Demigod Kindergarten are out of danger!

Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief and stood in the crowd with a warm smile.

Hu Niu brought over a towel and wiped the sweat off Xu Ran's face: "Brother Xiao Ran, you are really awesome."

Xu Ran smiled and said, "Of course."

Zhu Yuheng, with white hair and eyebrows, brought over a cup of tea: "Here...you drink."

"Thank you."

Xu Ran raised an eyebrow, drank a cup of tea, and then wiped his face.

"That's great, my dear son."

The mother didn't look very tall, but the little cub was standing tall and proud. Her smile was filled with satisfaction, and there were faint tears in her eyes.

"As expected of Xu Heqing's child, the gentleness in his bones is exactly the same."

Mom hugged Xu Ran and asked, "You've been busy for an hour. Aren't you tired?"

Xu Ran shook his head: "Not tired. On the contrary, I feel very happy."

My mother smiled and said, "Just be happy. Most people can't achieve what you have done. You should be proud. You are really amazing!"

My mother habitually praises Xu Ran.

The headmaster beside him touched Xu Ran's head and said, "Yes, as the headmaster, I should thank you too!"

Lu Ya: "Brother Cheng, verbal thanks are too pale. You should come up with actual gifts instead of just empty promises."

"Think about it, how much help did Xu Ran give you? Even if the spiritual practitioners in the city rested for a while and then rushed over to help, it would take more than half an hour! In half an hour... how big a mistake could there be?"

The other two instructors were equally apprehensive. "Yeah, our kid is only a little over a year old. If he endures this for half an hour, he might suffer brain damage from lack of oxygen. We must give Xu Ran more rewards!"

The two mentors looked at Xu Ran with gratitude and insisted on giving him some rewards.

Xu Ran raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth: "Director, you can't do that! You can't do that!"

Director: "..."

Now that things have come to this, it would be impolite to ask for it for free.

"Let me think about what kind of reward is suitable for you... You're only five and a half years old, and ninety-nine percent of the treasures can't be used. I have to go back and think about it!"

Xu Ran nodded: "Okay."

Of course he readily agreed. After all, the original purpose of saving people was not for the reward, but to save the little kids who were trapped at the bottom of the human mountain; to save the friendship of classmates.

Even the progress is done casually.

As for the reward, it can be a pure surprise, okay?
I didn't expect any reward at first.

Now that the principal has made a promise, there is no need to worry about him defaulting on his promise!
The only thing that is a bit confusing is that the progress is too little.

A mere 47 points of progress is not in line with his status as a hardcore gamer!
Xu Ran pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at his mother. "Mom, please ask Zhuangzhuang's mom and Tongtong's mom to bring the children over. I can definitely help them eliminate the fear brought by nightmares."

"And to the other mothers in the kindergarten, if you have friends who have children suffering from fear, please bring them here as soon as possible. I can treat them."

My mother's eyes lit up: "Really? Son, won't the burden be too great for you?"

Xu Ran waved his hand: "No. Let them come over as soon as possible!" Since we have to make progress, then we will do it to the end!
So more than ten minutes later, at the entrance at the foot of the mountain of the Demigod Kindergarten, hundreds of mothers were holding their crying and twitching children and asking for treatment.

Xu Ran was not vague and started working directly!
Fear elimination progress +1...

Fear elimination progress +1...

"Um……"

Behind her, Li Qinghong was increasingly astonished. She had seen countless top-tier geniuses, but this was the first time she had seen someone with Xu Ran's extraordinary physique—not only was his Qi and blood growing rapidly, his combat skills far superior, but he could even dispel the fear brought on by strange nightmares?
Isn't it only high-level spiritual practitioners who can do this? You must have a spiritual bone structure to do this.

How does it go against common sense?

Insight and talent = omnipotence?

The key is that Xu Ran's spell is actually just an ordinary mumbling to soothe emotions. Anyone can recite it, but the same spell is only effective when recited by Xu Ran.

Even if the head teacher tried it dozens of times himself, there was no effect, which is outrageous!
Is the illusory talent of enlightenment really that strong?
Li Qinghong was filled with doubts...

Xu Ran, however, was concentrating on making progress.

Tongtong's mother and Zhuangzhuang's mother squeezed to the front, looking excited: "Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran~ I haven't seen you for a long time~"

Xu Ran raised her eyes: "Yes, Auntie."

"You're really amazing now. Not only is you a super genius in the demigod kindergarten, but you can also help children eliminate nightmares and fears. You're so outstanding that there are no words to describe you!"

Tongtong's mother caught the opportunity and praised Xu Ran heavily, as if she wanted to praise him to the sky.

Zhuangzhuang's mother was a little reserved: "Xiao Ran, I brought a few more friends here, and their children are quite pitiful. This won't affect it, right?"

Xu Ran said gently: "It doesn't affect it."

Zhuangzhuang's mother held her head high and laughed, then turned to look at her friends, her face full of pride: "See, I told you Xiao Ran is a very good person. I used to hold him and play with him when I was a kid."

She seemed to be showing off her powerful network of contacts, and her showing off did not disappoint her. Her friends were envious and amazed by her.

"Zhuangzhuang's mom is amazing. She actually knows the super genius from the Demigod Kindergarten!"

"I wish we could know such a genius."

Hearing her friends’ praise, Zhuangzhuang’s mother raised her chin proudly and was extremely happy.

Xu Ran did not expose Zhuangzhuang's mother. People like to gain emotional value by pretending to be better than him.

Not only did he not expose them, he even looked at the mothers and found that the children in their arms were only one year old, and immediately waved his hand.

"Come on, come on, heal your child first."

Hearing Xu Ran's words, Zhuang Zhuang's mother's friends were stunned, their faces filled with disbelief. Did he get a special privilege?!

"Is it possible? Really?"

Zhuangzhuang's mother was stunned, then flattered, and quickly urged them: "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Thank you, Zhuangzhuang's mother."

"Thank you, handsome boy!"

Xu Ran smiled faintly and cured a few little kids in the midst of everyone's astonished gazes.

"What a brilliant little genius!"

"No wonder he was able to enter the Demigod Kindergarten!"

"Zhuangzhuang's mom, you are so lucky to be neighbors with this super genius!"

Zhuangzhuang’s mother smiled from ear to ear: “No, no, it’s Xiaoran and Xiaoran’s mother who think highly of me. They are all very nice people.”

"I remember Xiao Ran was incredibly smart when he was only a few months old... He was already very steady when he started walking, and he knew how to play hide-and-seek at just one year old. He was naturally more intelligent than an average person..."

Zhuangzhuang's mother began to show off Xu Ran's infancy, which attracted a lot of envious glances - who wouldn't be envious of having such a close relationship with the super genius in the Demigod Kindergarten?
It’s more than envy, it’s sheer envy!

In this regard.

Xu Ran shook his head lightly and started the next round of treatment.

"Thank you, handsome boy. You're really amazing!"

"You're welcome. It's nothing."

After more than an hour, Xu Ran ended his struggle.

[Fear Exorcism Progress: 100/10000 points...]

Today’s progress is complete!

Comfortable!

Xu Ran stretched lazily.

Behind him, the head teacher witnessed the little boy saving people again and again, and he was quite moved - he knew he was not mistaken!
Whether in terms of character or ability, he is perfectly suited to be his successor. With his innate comprehension, Xu Ran can definitely teach students in accordance with their aptitude and cultivate batch after batch of invincible super geniuses!

He is definitely the innate supreme saint and teacher!

The flame of admiration burned brightly in the director's eyes.

"So what reward should I choose? It has to be the best thing I can come up with, and the most suitable thing for that little guy..."

The headmaster frowned, feeling a little hesitant to make a decision...

……

the other side.

The spiritual practitioners in the city were dozens of times busier than Xu Ran. They had to deal with 3000 children. Even if one of their spells could cover hundreds of people, it would still require 300 casts, meaning each practitioner would need to cast spells on average.

Moreover, we have to race against time to rescue children one year old and under first, so the burden is extremely heavy.

Fortunately, the city provides a lot of resources to help them relieve their fatigue.

More than two hours later.

Ten high-level spiritual practitioners lay exhausted on the ground and fell asleep instantly.

"Fortunately."

"Hurry up and move them to the bed and cover them with the quilt."

He Sifang, the third in command of Jingcheng, rushed over and personally carried the spiritual practitioners.

The spiritual practitioner with graying temples opened his eyes and asked, "Did the investigation team find the source of the nightmare?"

The third in command, He Sifang, said sternly, "No."

"But we've already searched every inch of the city's sewers. There are only a few places to hide, and the area beneath the city is the best hiding place."

"We must find it as soon as possible. We can't let this nightmare happen a second time!"

He Sifang: “…”

He couldn't give a definite answer because they didn't even understand what nightmares were and could only clear away ghostly auras everywhere.

but.

Sister Lu Ya suddenly appeared in front of everyone: "Good news, I got some clues at the Demigod Kindergarten!"

He Sifang looked curious. "Huh? I only heard that there's a super genius in the Demigod Kindergarten. He's only five years old and can eliminate nightmares. Is there really such a genius?"

Sister Lu Ya: "It's true. I witnessed the whole thing with my own eyes. He just said an ordinary 'spell' and calmed down all the children in the kindergarten!"

He Sifang: "Unbelievable!"

Sister Lu Ya: "Not only that, there is also a child in the Demigod Kindergarten who, bearing the fear brought by nightmares, painted the dream. Look!"

She took out the photo and handed Feng Yan's painting to He Sifang.

He Sifang was shocked: "It is... such a weird monster?!"

"Tens of thousands of babies, tangled together? What a disgusting thing!"

A surge of anger surged in He Sifang's heart. He wished he could turn this bastard out and smash it to pieces with one punch!
"I will send this information to Brother Yuan Yan immediately. His investigation team must be in great need of this information."

Lu Ya: "Remember, there is another very crucial sentence. The nightmare mother cried out in her dream - My child, where are you? My child, where are you? I think this sentence should also be a clue."

He Sifang nodded and passed the clue to Yuan Yan, the leader of the investigation team!

at this time.

It was already six o'clock in the morning.

At the foot of the mountain where the Demigod Kindergarten was located, the principal, Li Qinghong, Xu Ran, my mother and others were returning to their residence together.

The headmaster walked along with his hands behind his back, thinking. Suddenly, he looked up at Xu Ran and said, "Xiao Ran, you are very perceptive. Can you find the den of the Nightmare Mother using the clues from Feng Yan?"

Xu Ran: “…”
