Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 56: Confidence is a sure kill! Idealism + Concept! Colosseum! Crystal-armored Hyena!

"When I was practicing my swordsmanship just now, I focused too much on technique!"

“It doesn’t fit the aesthetics of violence.”

"I should follow my heart and use the most violent sword swings that best match the aesthetic of every cut to the flesh to trigger my magical skills."

Xu Ran suddenly came to his senses.

Change status quickly.

Concentrate.

Breathe.

The demigod cultivation method surged in his meridians, and in an instant, his eyes became extremely kind.

"If you can kill with one strike, don't use two!"

"If I can't kill the enemy with one strike, it's because I'm not invincible enough, or I haven't worked hard enough! I need to work harder!"

"The invincible one seeks to cut it in two!"

Xu Ran muttered to himself as a high wall was knocked open by Hong Ran.

His entire aura, with a crazy posture, solidified and strengthened, transforming into an indestructible determination.

In just a dozen seconds, Xu Ran's entire body lit up with a brilliant red light—first his heart, then his eyes, then his chest and abdomen, then his hands, and then his entire body...

His essence, energy, spirit, body, and destiny were all sublimated at this moment, radiating outward into a brilliant red "flame"!
At this moment.

Even the red orb lurking in his body, obscured by the mist, became scorching hot, as if infected by the red "flame".

A red light surged onto the long sword, and the intermediate-level long sword hummed, making a long and distant sword chant.

"cut!"

Xu Ran fixed his eyes on the stone man in front of him.

Suddenly he swung the knife.

This knife move was extremely strange. The moment it was swung, no blade light burst forth. Instead, the red light suddenly withered and disappeared into Xu Ran's body. It was as if a fire had gone out and time had flown backwards...

at the same time.

A wisp of breeze slashed at the stone man...

A breeze blew by, but the stone man remained motionless and stood still in the same place.

Xu Ran: “Hmm???”

No way! I was so handsome just now, and nothing happened?
"No, no, that's definitely not right! It's not my fault. The stone man must be cut in half."

Xu Ran was confused for a moment, but the next second, his eyes were filled with determination.

"That swing of the sword I just made must have had immense destructive power."

"Let the bullet fly for a while."

as predicted.

Just ten seconds later, a red blade suddenly appeared from inside the stone man and started cutting outwards.

With the appearance of the red blade, almost in an instant, hundreds of blades emerged inside the stone man. They were like red lasers, cutting cracks on the stone man.

Then, the stone man fell apart and turned into a pile of smoothly cut gravel.

"Uh...is this really my swordsmanship?"

"I only swung my sword once...but I was so handsome that I couldn't recognize you..."

Xu Ran was surprised.

Just as I was about to verify it, a clear and pleasant prompt sound happened to ring in my mind.

[Congratulations, you have mastered the extremely violent sword technique and triggered a new skill: Super Explosive Slash - every time you swing your sword, it will be attached with the [Cut] feature, and the Chop feature will be automatically triggered after you swing your sword.

If the enemy's defense cannot [offset] the slash effect, the enemy will be split into two, two into four, four into eight... (Advancement sequence: Super Explosive Slash - Dimensionality Slash - Confident Kill.)]

[Super Explosive Slash]: A simple, brute-force, destructive sword technique that traces cause and effect. Simply swing the sword and slash to sever your enemies. (Note: In addition to your own strength, the degree of the slash's uniqueness is closely related to your confidence. The more confident you are, the more unstoppable the slash will be.)
[Dimensionality Reduction Slash]: Your slash ascends into a higher dimension of spacetime before striking down. To a certain extent, it disregards distance in space and time, defenses, and clones... striking the enemy's true essence first. (Comment: Still defending? Hilarious!)

[Confidence Kills]: When you are confident that you can kill the opponent, you don't need to swing your sword, just a thought can kill the opponent. (Comment: My confidence is greater than yours.)
[Current Super Explosive Slash Progress (Beginner): 0/10000...]

Xu Ran: “Hmm???”

The detailed descriptions of super explosive slash, dimensionality reduction slash, and confident kill made his left eyelid twitch wildly.

"Isn't that a bit too violent?"

"Xiao Xu's Flying Knife, Divine Weapon Throw, and Three-Body Water Droplet are at least based on the laws of physics...Super Explosive Slash, Dimensional Slash, and Confident Kill are all just idealism, right?"

"It's actually related to self-confidence... a hundred million points of invincibility."

Xu Ran raised the knife, feeling secretly delighted.

"Anyway, this strange method of idealistic killing is of great benefit to me. After all, it's not me who has to face it, but the enemy who has to be terrified."

"Anyway, the training is done!"

"Besides, this world has resentful gods, ghosts, and crystal beasts. We don't know what will appear in the future. Their abilities are very strange. Can't I have a little strange ability? Where the enemy goes, I can go too!!"

Xu Ran smiled faintly and flicked the blade with his fingers.

"Buzzing..."

The ring-handled sword made a vibrating humming sound, elegant and murderous.

"So handsome!"

"So, I should actually go for the brute force crushing style to trigger the magical martial arts skills, right?"

"Boxing should be a little more violent, right?"

With an idea in mind, Xu Ran, who was extremely capable of taking action, immediately took action. He put his knife aside, his face serious, and continued to violently punch, kick, and elbow...

After half an hour.

Xu Ran picked up his knife again.

"The sword is the best. Punches, kicks, elbows, they're all garbage!"

"No...it could also be that before I use the Ten Thousand Tribulations Flame to temper my body, I can't achieve a violent effect..."

"At least my current body can't withstand swords and knives."

Xu Ran seemed to understand the principle behind this while muttering to himself. He smiled faintly and said, "Super Explosive Slash is already invincible enough. Let's focus on practicing with the sword!"

then.

Xu Ran fixed his eyes, his whole body glowing with red light, and he launched a [Super Explosive Slash].

[Super Explosive Slash Progress +1...]

[Super Explosive Slash Progress +1...]

[Super Explosive Slash Progress +1...]

after an hour.

The daily progress of 100 points has been completed.

Xu Ran stopped, frowned, raised the ring-handled sword and watched carefully.

The mid-level long sword had spider-web-like cracks on it because it had been swung hundreds of times.

"A mid-level weapon can't withstand my violent swordplay... I guess I need to ask the headmaster to replace it with a higher quality sword."

The magical skills related to swordsmanship start at too high a level and are too violent.

Xu Ran smiled warmly: "I remember the headmaster said a while ago that I can't fully exert my strength with super-class weapons... I'll give them a little shock later."

Think so.

A handsome figure left the training hall as fast as lightning and headed straight for the director's office building.

"Bang bang bang-"

The door was ajar and Xu Ran knocked gently.

Principal: “Who is it?”

Xu Ran: “Me.”

The headmaster looked up and asked, "What's going on? Are you knocking on my door again?"

Xu Ran: "Director, I would like to request a replacement for a high-level weapon. The mid-level ring-headed sword is not enough."

The headmaster was surprised. "A mid-level sword isn't enough? How could that be? To unleash the full power of a mid-level weapon, you need at least 10 points of Qi and Health. You only have points, which is far from enough."

Xu Ran said nothing more. With a clang, he drew out his sword and handed it to the headmaster for observation. "We've only been practicing for a short hour, and the sword can't bear the pressure anymore. It's about to break."

The headmaster looked at the crack on the knife, his expression gradually becoming stunned: "Huh?"

He couldn't understand: "You went to secretly kill the God of Resentment?"

Xu Ran spread his hands: "No, it's just ordinary swordsmanship practice. However, the swordsmanship I created is a bit exaggerated." "Well... to the extent that even I think it's exaggerated."

Yes, even the King of Self-Discipline who possesses the mysterious steps, the invisibility technique, the origami spirit-binding technique, the ability to make a fortune, the ability to reattach severed limbs, the blessing of the water god, and a high level of comprehension... finds it exaggerated.

In just less than an hour, he actually created a new technique?

The headmaster was confused: "..."

I've never seen anything like this in my life. Can one really do whatever he wants just because of his comprehension and talent?
The headmaster stood up and said, "Let's go to the kindergarten treasure house. I'll replace your sword with a high-level one. But, let me see your sword skills later."

Xu Ran: “No problem.”

Not long after.

Xu Ran received a brand new high-level ring-handled sword, a snow-white sword with an elegant shape.

But when you hold the knife in your hand.

A premonition that "this knife will not live long" emerged in his heart.

Xu Ran: “…”

It's over. I'm afraid that even a high-level sword can't withstand my swordsmanship. Even a super-level sword will be damaged faster - mine is very big and the sword can't accommodate it.

Xu Ran took a deep breath. "What kind of sword would be worthy of me? I guess it has to be pure gold."

"But treasures of red gold quality are not easy to obtain. I can't see through the mist inside the small red gold ball on my body, and I don't know what it is."

I pondered silently for a moment.

The headmaster patted his shoulder and said, "How's it going? Does the high-level sword feel okay?"

Xu Ran: “Just barely enough.”

The headmaster said: "Okay, then let me see what kind of swordsmanship you have created!"

The two left the treasure house.

Xu Ran: "Director, the stone figures in the training room are not interesting. I want to chop down a living crystal beast."

The headmaster said, "Normally, you should be eight years old and have practiced for at least three months before you can fight beasts, but you can be an exception. I'll take you to see it."

The principal sped up.

Xu Ran quickly followed.

The headmaster said, "Good boy, Three Thousand Thunders is indeed impressive. It's much faster than Feng Yan's. Feng Yan is probably only one-third of your level."

Xu Ran praised: "One-third is also considered a gifted talent."

The headmaster said, "For a moment I couldn't tell whether you were praising Feng Yan or yourself."

The two chatted.

We have arrived at the Colosseum at the foot of the other side of Qiyun Mountain.

Here stood a unique Colosseum. The size of ten football fields, its foundation and walls constructed from a special, pitch-black ore, seamlessly integrated. Undoubtedly, a special physique capable of manipulating the ore had manipulated its structure, rendering the entire Colosseum essentially indestructible.

Not far from the giant Colosseum there is a separate small arena.

Further away is a vast forest, which is surrounded by solid high walls and space devices. You can see a layer of ultra-thin and smooth light curtain, like an inverted bowl, covering the forest. Various crystal beasts are tamed in the forest.

Floating above the Colosseum.

Many acquaintances fled in panic.

It turned out to be Zhu Yuheng and the others, who were actually fighting in the Colosseum.

Their opponent was a deformed spider with six legs, a round belly, a human body, eight arms, a bat face, protruding fangs, and scarlet eyes.

Its Qi and Health value reached 20,000 points, and its six legs were like mechanical feet, scraping and crawling on the ground, making the sound of nails rubbing against a blackboard.

Zhuge Huangjin: "Ahhh... Can you cooperate? I can't run anymore!"

Zhu Yuheng: "Its Qi and Blood value is much higher than mine. The All Things Stagnation can only freeze it for two seconds."

Feng Yan panted, "Run quickly! This is to train our ability to escape. I won't even allow you to use Three Thousand Thunders."

A group of people jumped up and down, hid here and there, and ran for their lives.

As for Hu Niu... because she was still two months away from turning eight, the qi and blood could not circulate in her meridians, so she could only stand in the stands as a spectator.

But it was also very interesting for the audience to watch. Her little face was full of excitement and her bright eyes didn't even want to blink.

"Good good!"

"Don't just run away, fight back a little! There are so many weaknesses! You can definitely fight back, eh!"

Hu Niu waved her fists, her dark, smooth, shoulder-length hair dancing with her arms, full of energy. However, there was a hint of loss on her delicate and beautiful face. What's the point of running away?
"call out--"

"call out--"

Xu Ran and the headmaster stood beside Hu Niu.

Seeing Xu Ran, Hu Niu's eyes lit up and she jumped up: "Brother Xiao Ran, you finally showed up. I haven't seen you recently."

Xu Ran smiled faintly: "Go into seclusion. In two months, you will be eight years old. Then you will have to go into seclusion for a while."

Huniu: "It's not two months, it's 58 days and 14 hours."

Good man, is she calculating this? It seems that Hu Niu is eager to turn eight years old to a certain extent.

Hu Niu was curious: "Brother Xiao Ran, you came to the Colosseum. Have you learned the cultivation method?"

Xu Ran: "You're really smart, but I haven't learned how to practice it."

Hu Niu: "You created your own cultivation method?"

Xu Ran raised his eyebrows: "Huh, you're so smart now?"

Hu Niu smiled slyly: "Hehe, I asked Aunt Lin for information."

Xu Ran: "...You are really smart."

Hu Niu held her head high and chest puffed out: "Hey, can I learn your homemade method?"

Xu Ran had no intention of hiding anything: "Yes, as long as you can learn it."

Hu Niu's features brightened: "Brother Xiao Ran is the best."

"So Brother Xiao Ran is here to fight the crystal beast?"

Xu Ran: “Yes.”

"Then I want to watch you fight. Sister Yuheng and the others are too weak in fighting."

Xu Ran smiled. This little guy is two months younger than me, yet he actually calls Zhu Yuheng his sister... and he even complains about her being unsophisticated...

Xu Ran: "You can just watch from the side."

"So, Headmaster, where do I go to fight?"

The director pointed to a nearby area and said, "Go to the small arena nearby. I'll find you a crystal beast with 20,000 HP. I'll let you experience the despair of Zhu Yuheng and the others."

Xu Ran: “…”

what?
You want to make me feel despair, so you find a crystal beast with 20,000 HP to fight me?

Xu Ran didn't know how to respond for a moment: "Okay."

He didn't care about that. It was just a display of swordsmanship, equivalent to a show match. 2 points of health points were enough. If he really wanted to be serious, he would need a crystal beast with at least 10 health points.

Using a crystal beast with a health value of 10 as a prop in a performance match?
Such a waste.

After he has practiced the Qi and Blood Lamp Lighting Technique, he will go to the alien battlefield and fight hard to get a golden achievement!
Thinking about it.

The iron gate of the Colosseum opened.

A crystal-armored hyena rushed into the arena.

The Crystal-Armored Hyena Ghost is a dog-shaped crystal beast, 1.5 meters tall, with a crocodile head and an orangutan body. It walks semi-upright, with strong lower limbs and knife-like hand bones in its upper limbs. There is a sharp spike behind its head that can emit mental pollution. Every inch of its skin is covered with crystal-like scales, and it has a pair of scarlet eyes that are murderous.

The headmaster introduced the Crystal-Armored Hyena. "It has a comprehensive combination of speed, defense, and lethality. It's a very common monster on alien battlefields. It enjoys munching on corpses and excels at projectile attacks. Can you fight it head-on?"

"Small problem." Xu Ran jumped into the arena.

When the Crystal-Armored Hyena saw Xu Ran, a hideous grin appeared on his crocodile face.

next second.

It took off and pounced on Xu Ran like a confident prey.

Xu Ran: “???”

No, you little piece of trash with only 20,000 HP points, how dare you attack me?
