Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 96: Ascends to become one of the 300 Heavenly Soldiers who encircle and suppress the Monkey King? Countdown to Disaster: Days!
I chatted with everyone to calm their emotions.

Xu Ran began his evening self-discipline time. Night Slayer progress +100... Divine Weapon Throw progress +100...

An hour later, self-discipline is over!
The young man took a bath, sat cross-legged on the bed in the room, and carved talismans.

After three full hours of carving, 135 glittering golden [Small Purification Talismans] were neatly stacked and swung in Xu Ran's hands! The crisp sound was like precious banknotes, which was very pleasant.

Faith Talisman Progress +100...

Today's progress has arrived!

"We're already 3000 away from triggering the [Instant Engraving Effect] by 120. By then, the [Small Purification Talisman] that takes one minute and twenty seconds to engrave can be engraved instantly. In one minute and twenty seconds, I can engrave !"

Muttering to himself.

In Xu Ran's mind... a picture of Gao Shuai completing the talisman carving in an instant emerged...

Perhaps the small purification talisman doesn't have much impact.

But what if it was replaced with a flame talisman, an ice talisman, or a thunder talisman? Or what if it was replaced with a higher-level [Heavenly King Sword Formation Talisman] or [Heavenly God's Advent Talisman]?

In an instant, tens of thousands of golden swords gathered into a river and attacked the enemy.

How terrible?!

Xu Ran nodded with high morale.

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow we'll have more free time. Try your best! If you spend ten hours carving every day, you can get 900 [Small Purification Talismans]. Adding today's and yesterday's, that's over 1200 in total."

"If there are 1000 more talismans in the safe zone, the purification efficiency will be doubled."

Administrator Lin Shou would definitely be very excited if 1000 [Small Purification Talismans] were thrown over.

The riots in the safe zone can also be slowly suppressed.

As for the follow-up...

worry about what?
In just over ten days, Xu Ran's efficiency in carving the [Small Purification Talisman] will skyrocket to [Instant Carving Talisman].

By then, the [Small Purification Talisman] will enter the batch supply mode!

A mere riot.

It's easy to suppress!

of course.

this time.

Xu Ran also planned to study the sacrificial formation of [Talisman of the Resentful God], as he could understand part of it.

He has now entered the door.

It's like learning the basic operating rules.

Even though the sacrificial array is somewhat complicated, it is only junior high school mathematics or advanced mathematics.

It can be completely reverse-engineered.

By the time……

Ha ha!

Xu Ran can also play magic circles!

"It would be great if I could get some knowledge about magic circles during my trip to the treasury in a few days."

"But why does the safe zone treasure house feel like my home?"

Xu Ran smiled strangely.

"With my contributions and talents, there's nothing wrong with treating the safe zone treasure house as my home."

Busy work is done.

go to bed.

……

The next day.

Get up early.

Under the rising sun, I practiced with the children from the same park.

Progress +100...

Progress +100...

Progress +100...

So cool.

Visibly improve strength every day.

The satisfaction from making little progress is different from the intense feeling you get when you obtain a treasure.

It is even more exciting when you harvest the treasure.

The progress we make bit by bit, like water dripping through stone, is endless and makes us look forward to tomorrow...

all in all.

Comfortable!

Xu Ran was delighted, with a faint smile on his face.

suddenly.

The headmaster called and said, "Xiao Ran, come to my office. I and the other heads have selected some talented students."

"Your course is to teach them invisibility and other martial arts. Is that okay?"

Xu Ran nodded.

"Of course. I'll come and take a look."

talking.

Xu Ran stepped out of the door.

Hu Niu was curious: "Brother Xiao Ran, where are you going? Aren't you going to teach me fighting skills later?"

Xu Ran turned around and waved: "Why don't you come with me to the principal's place?"

Hu Niu wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "What are you going to do? Is there anything good to eat?"

Xu Ran glanced at Hu Niu sideways.

Eating everything will only harm you!

"I need to start a class to teach other geniuses stealth and combat techniques."

Hu Niu's golden eyes lit up: "Teacher?"

Xu Ran: “Almost.”

Hu Niu nodded seriously: "Well... with Brother Xiao Ran's teaching talent, fighting talent, and creative ability, he is more than capable of teaching some super geniuses!!"

Xu Ran couldn't help laughing.

Hu Niu's ability to flatter is getting stronger and stronger.

But he likes it.

Hu Niu waved her hand: "Sister Yuheng, go play with Brother Xiaoran!"

Zhu Yuheng said "oh" and wiped the sweat from his cheeks. The two little beauties followed Xu Ran, one quiet and the other noisy, and walked briskly to the principal's office.

On the road.

The three encountered the wounded—

[Mirror Image Supreme] Qin Yihou, [Microcosm of Everything] Chi Mengli, [Mark of the Divine Dragon] Ning Shuang, [Fear of Life and Death in a Dream] Hu Die, [Eight-Armed Yuanying] Bai Huang.

two days ago.

They used all their tricks, including mental shock, illusion, and mirror replication, and finally replicated a gray-white Xu Ran.

Xu Ran benefited a lot from that gray-white replica.

As for the price—all five of them had to lie in bed and receive treatment every day...

Even with the best treatment, they still had to lie in bed for two full days before they could walk...

But.

Their faces were pale, as if they had just recovered from a serious illness.

It seems that 'inappropriate' pride and self-esteem will only make people pay the price.

Hu Niu greeted cheerfully, "Hi, hi!"

Several seriously injured people: "..."

What kind of strange way of greeting is this? It's very strange, but the rhythm is quite magical.

Even want to learn from it.

But it feels a bit awkward to think about a girl learning such words.

They could only smile politely.

"Hello."

talking.

They looked at Xu Ran with complicated eyes.

two days ago.

It was this classmate who was two years younger than them, who defeated the strongest combination skills they had discussed for half an hour with his completely invincible posture.

despair!

There has never been a selection competition that was so hopeless.

The gap in strength is like a chasm!

But some people are desperate.

But someone was as enthusiastic as a die-hard fan - she was Chi Mengli, a twelve-year-old girl who was ahead of her development and had reached a height of 1.7 meters. She had a fluffy black ponytail tied behind her head, a white short-sleeved student skirt with a red bow on her chest, bright eyes and white teeth, and her arms were exposed.

The whole person seemed to be about to throw himself into Xu Ran's arms: "Wow, a one-man army boss! Good morning! Good morning!"

"It's my first time getting so close to a big guy!!!"

"Boss, Boss! Can you choose me to join your God-Slaying Squad?"

She cheered and blinked her bright eyes, as if trying to 'charm' Xu Ran.

"My root bones are better than the average golden root bones. If there are levels above that, I can definitely enter the next level. I can control microscopic particles..."

She talked a lot, as if she was recommending herself.

After listening to Chi Mengli's words.

Xu Ran thought seriously.

[Microscopic Everything]...is also a kind of god-level root bone.

Capabilities are divided into three stages.

The first stage ability is to change the basic principle of particles, adding anesthesia, loss of strength, dizziness, corrosion, toxicity, entering illusion, purification, and healing effects. As long as she consumes her blood and energy to change the properties of the particles, she can achieve various effects.

The second stage ability alters the enemy's emotions at a microscopic level, weakening their will to kill. When an enemy harbors a desire to kill you or your allies, they immediately lose that desire and hesitate to execute a killing move. This hesitation lasts for a minimum of 0.1 seconds, and the higher the level of cultivation and development, the longer the pause.

As the saying goes, hesitation leads to defeat.

In a life-and-death battle, 0.1 second of hesitation can lead to death.

So this is a divine gift from heaven.

However, there is a problem, which is... if the enemy does not have the intention to kill, he cannot be controlled.

The third stage ability - strengthen the manipulation of particles, decompose an object, and then reassemble it.

This third ability sounds very useless...

But Xu Ran felt that Chi Mengli might not have understood it clearly, or had not found the right path.

He thought carefully...

"Can you combine a highly toxic powder, disintegrate it, blow it into the enemy's body, and then reassemble it?"

Chi Mengli: "It should be a bit difficult."

"Have you ever tried directly affecting the microscopic particles in the enemy's body to crush their bones or draw out their blood?"

Chi Mengli was surprised: "It's so difficult! The bones and blood in the enemy's body have their own set of rules, and they will be protected by the enemy. It's impossible to do it."

She is so pitiful...

Xu Ran's expression was serious. "Nothing is difficult in this world. As long as you are willing to climb, you can first induce hallucination or anesthesia in the enemy, and then control the microscopic particles in the enemy's body. If you can't even do this, it will be difficult for you to join my team."

Chi Mengli stood in awe: "Master, you are so strict! But if I can do it, can I join your God Slayer Team?"

Xu Ran said seriously, "I know you're anxious, but don't worry. During this period of time, I will observe all the super talents. If I find someone with the right aptitude, I will select them into my God-Slaying Squad."

Chi Mengli approached Xu Ran and said enthusiastically, "Me? Take a look at me first and choose me! I can do it! Boss! I've always dreamed of joining your team, even doing odd jobs! Washing clothes, cooking, and giving shoulder massages..."

If I can't join Xu Ran's God-Slaying Team, I will regret it for the rest of my life, right?
She is extremely thick-skinned.

Xu Ran spread his hands: "Don't worry, I'll observe for a while."

"After all, choosing teammates is a very important thing."

"Besides, I already have a [King of the Condemned] and a [Time Bone], so there are still four spots left in the team. I need to think carefully about it."

Xu Ran pointed at Hu Niu and Zhu Yuheng.

The two little beauties raised their white chins as if they were proud.

Hu Niu: "Little sister, don't be anxious. You don't meet the requirements right now because you haven't learned the art of invisibility yet!"

"If you want to join Brother Xiao Ran's God Slayer... relying on your own talent to learn the art of invisibility is the minimum requirement."

Chi Mengli's eyes were bright. "Invisibility? Oh... that magical skill that's like a god-given supernatural power? I'm sure I can learn it!"

Xu Ran smiled and said, "Keep your best, maybe you can join my God-Slaying Team."

Chi Mengli was very happy, but soon a new question popped up: "Boss, what's the name of your God Slayer Squad?" Xu Ran shook his head: "We haven't chosen a name yet."

Chi Mengli volunteered, full of confidence: "I'll give you a name, okay? I'll call you the Great Sage!"

"The Great Sage Equaling Heaven! I've been thinking about this for over ten days!"

Xu Ran raised his eyebrows in surprise: "..." It seems not bad?
He looked at Hu Niu, then at Zhu Yuheng: "What do you think of the Great Sage?"

The three students taught by the useless principal stared at each other.

Hu Niu slapped her head and said, "Okay!"

Xu Ran: “…”

Don't ask Hu Niu...

Zhu Yuheng stared weakly: "Think about it again? After all the team members are found, come up with a name?"

Xu Ran accepted Zhu Yuheng's suggestion: "Okay, there's no need to rush."

As he said this, Xu Ran looked at Ning Shuang: "You are an amplification system, right?"

Ning Shuang has thick eyebrows, big eyes and a round face. She looks a bit like a funny girl, but in fact she is very cold.

"Yes, my innate strength is the [Divine Dragon Mark]. The more marks I add to my teammates, the faster their speed, divine power, and lethality will increase."

"But... my second and third stage abilities are difficult to develop."

Ning Shuang's eyes were filled with worry.

Hu Niu suddenly spoke up: "Does it require physical strength?"

Ning Shuang was surprised: "How do you know?"

Hu Niu smiled, stood on tiptoe and patted Xu Ran's shoulder: "Brother Xiao Ran once helped Sister Yuheng solve a similar problem. But you can't use it. The Eternal Flame is very dangerous, and they won't let me use it!"

Ning Shuang's facial features, which had originally lit up, quickly dimmed.

"Can't use it?"

Xu Ran smiled and said, "It will take some time before it can be used. If the second and third stage abilities cannot be developed due to insufficient physical strength, it's not a big problem."

Ning Shuang's thick eyebrows raised.

"Really?"

"Of course it is."

Zhu Yuheng agreed weakly: "It's true. You can refer to my physical strength..."

Xu Ran smiled faintly: "Alright, enough talking, let's go to the principal's office first. You guys are going there too, right?"

Everyone nodded: "Yes, our headmaster asked us to come over."

Understood.

They all come here to be students.

The group walked for more than twenty minutes.

Came to the principal's office building.

The headmaster put his hands behind his back and looked at Xu Ran who appeared at the flower bed with a smile.

"Hmm... almost everyone is here. 85 in total."

"Xiao Ran, teach them a lesson first."

Xu Ran nodded.

He is good at teaching invisibility and has taught it many times.

then.

85 super geniuses were photographed in a square formation, standing on the asphalt-paved open space in front of the office building.

Xu Ran stood in the shade of the tree, the sunlight was cut into pieces by the slender leaves and sprinkled all over the young man.

He just stood there.

He is like a peerless master or a grandmaster in a movie.

"There are six hundred key points to the art of invisibility. I'll explain them all to you one by one... If you can understand them, it means you have a talent for learning. If you can't, or even if it gives you a splitting headache, don't persist. You don't have the talent."

While talking.

Xu Ran began to break down and narrate.

Half an hour later, more than half of the super geniuses... lost their luster in their eyes...

An hour later, the super genius who had been forcing himself to persevere felt as if a steel bar had been inserted into his brain and stirred it several times. The pain was excruciating.

They withdrew, covering their heads...

Suddenly I realized that my whole body was soaked with sweat.

The principals standing not far away looked solemn.

There are only nine super geniuses left who can still hold on.

Old Headmaster Cheng Qi sighed, "It seems... there are only nine people with the talent to reach the God-level root bone. That's a bit too few."

Other principals: “…”

What is this nonsense?

In the past, it might not be possible to find a god-level root bone in ten years!
Are you so greedy now?
Nine isn't enough? Add Xu Ran, Jiang Liuli, and Zhu Yuheng, and that's twelve!

The principals from the capital and Shanghai wanted to say a few words of comfort.

But suddenly... they realized something was wrong - this old guy seemed to be showing off?
In one of his parks, two children have learned the art of invisibility!
There is also a super monster who created his own invisibility technique!

Of the twelve god-level roots, he alone possesses three... Damn it, he's got it again!
Director Cheng Qi spread his hands: "..."

He really didn't pretend...

"Let me see who's here..."

[Mirror Image King] Qin Yihou; [Microcosm] Chi Mengli; [Life and Death Are All a Dream] Hu Die; [Mark of the Divine Dragon] Ning Shuang; [Sowing Beans to Become an Immortal] Guan Xin; [Three-Phase Transformation Shield] Tang Chichi; [Eight-Armed Yuanying] Bai Huang; [God-Slaying Armor] Chang Jun; [Thousands of Thunders of Purification] Huo Yuan.

They are all popular super geniuses, which shows that there are not many mistakes in the training of various kindergartens.

Three hours later.

It's almost noon.

Xu Ran’s first lecture ended.

The nine geniuses breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was very complicated, they seemed to understand a lot after Xu Ran's wonderful explanation.

Huo Yuan and Chang Jun looked at Xu Ran with complicated eyes.

From this moment on.

They are fully aware of the irreparable gap.

This feeling is like a super genius who has gone through untold hardships and difficulties to ascend to heaven, but became one of the 100,000 heavenly soldiers who encircled and suppressed the Monkey King.

The gap is so huge... like a chasm!
They looked at each other.

Although I can learn the invisibility technique that is comparable to the [God-given supernatural power], why is this invisibility technique so difficult?

"Keep a normal mind!"

"Keep a normal mind..."

The two of them had already laid down while exchanging eye contact.

If the gap is not big, they will be motivated to catch up, but if the gap cannot be crossed, they can only look up and lie down.

The two calmed down and reflected seriously.

Meanwhile, Chi Mengli held her cheeks with both hands, staring at Xu Ran with a delighted expression: "You're incredibly talented, able to create divinely skilled techniques! I absolutely must join your God-Slaying Squad!"

As for Qin Yihou, Bai Huang and others... they lowered their heads in deep thought, trying to comprehend the situation seriously.

Half an hour passed.

Xu Ran clapped his hands and said, "Alright, go have lunch. In the afternoon and evening, you can reflect on it on your own. Don't practice it. I will teach you tomorrow."

"As for you..."

Xu Ran looked at the more than seventy super geniuses who were eliminated.

Although they are one in ten thousand, or even one in a million, they have no choice but to learn the art of invisibility.

"Don't worry if you can't learn it. Just focus on improving your own roots."

talking.

Xu Ran turned around and looked at the principals: "Do you have any other instructions?"

Several principals spoke one after another...

"get out of class is over!"

The super geniuses left with a mixture of discussion, some expressing sadness, some sighing, some expressing regret, some expressing frustration...

This is cruel.

You know, even if you pick one out of ten thousand, there are still 200,000 of them among the two billion population!
After careful screening, only 700 people were selected.

700 more people were selected from 85 people...

Only ten people are left out of the 85...

Without absolute talent, one can only become a loser and suffer setbacks...

The remaining ten also suffered a major setback when they met Xu Ran!
This is the cruelty of cultivation!

Only twelve super geniuses remained on the asphalt lot.

"Your talents have reached the demigod level or above. From now on, you will follow Xu Ran to learn the art of invisibility! After a while, you may join Xu Ran's God-Slaying Team, or you may form your own team."

"But no matter what, you will all be the closest of comrades from now on. You will cooperate with each other, and you will help each other... This feeling and fate are both precious. As time passes, it will become more mellow and rich, like fine wine."

"Congratulations!"

Everyone had different expressions, and no one was quite aware of the deep meaning of this sentence.

For example, Qin Yihou, her expression is a little silly, as if she is in a trance.

But suddenly.

She stared at Xu Ran, a light flickered between her eyebrows. The next moment, her face turned pale, her legs became weak, and her breathing became heavy.

"how come?"

"It's only been two days, right? He's actually... become dozens of times stronger? I can't even sense the anchor point of his strength anymore..."

Qin Yihou's eyes became even duller, and he seemed very "wise".

Two days ago, she could still vaguely feel the anchor point of Xu Ran's strength based on her bones.

But two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Can't even see the anchor point?

This means that Xu Ran’s strength has increased by at least thirty times!
is it possible?
Is there really a super genius who can increase his combat effectiveness 30 times in just two days?

Is this a monster? This is not something a human would do, right?

Although, the fighting power Xu Ran displayed two days ago was no longer human-like...

But seeing with my own eyes Xu Ran's rapid increase in strength within two days was even more terrifying.

She looked at Xu Ran carefully, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say...

I can only leave with everyone else...

But she was far behind...

She was very curious and wanted to confirm it herself.

And as she slowly moved forward.

The words of praise from the principals for Xu Ran reached her ears——

"The Tianding Pavilion already knows about your contribution yesterday. You said you wanted to go to the treasury to choose a prize, so of course you can choose whatever you want."

"You can pick out your prize tomorrow!"

"However... Blue Planet's protective shield has been destroyed, and pollution has invaded Blue Planet. Your generation must grow up quickly. Time waits for no one."

"Alas, we finally managed to produce a group of god-level roots, but now we have no chance to grow safely... I'm really worried that you won't be able to grow."

The principals were worried and couldn't help sighing.

Director Cheng Qi waved his hand and said, "There will be a way! Tianding Pavilion will definitely find a way to delay the arrival of the disaster."

"Besides, with Xiao Ran's cultivation talisman, geniuses who would normally take fifty years to reach 800 million Qi and Health points will only need 25 years. With Xiao Ran's progress in the future, this time will be even shorter!"

"We will find a way out... China has had five thousand years. What disasters have we not seen? If there's a flood, we'll treat it. If there's a wild beast, we'll kill it. Even if there are nine more suns in the sky, we'll shoot them down!"

Principal Cheng Qi looked determined.

Passing on to children the culture and beliefs of the Chinese nation that have been passed down from ancient times.

of course.

He also has great confidence in Xu Ran's talent, and he feels that Xu Ran will definitely be able to create miracles.

After all... that's a miraculous bone that can kill gods at the age of five!
I have great confidence in Principal Cheng Qi.

Xu Ran looked up at the sky and saw a line of dark pollution falling into the blue planet day after day, like the fuse of a time bomb, burning silently.

Hu Niu and Zhu Yuheng also followed Xu Ran's gaze and looked towards the sky, their faces solemn.

Hu Niu, who was always optimistic and cheerful, showed a worried look for the first time: "Brother Xiao Ran, there will be a way, right?"

Zhu Yuheng: "I have a feeling... if we allow this pollution to continue, in three hundred days... the evil gods will descend in force."

Xu Ran couldn't help but be surprised: "Huh?"

He must be vigilant about the premonition of the Time Root.

"Only 300 days? That short?"
