When they saw Xu Ran's childish yet handsome face.
The mothers' expressions instantly became strange... They reflexively held their breath and worriedly glanced at their own children.
At this moment, their foreheads clearly showed the word "under pressure".
"Ning Lan's mom, are you really that stressed?"
"Qiqi's mom, obviously you're the most stressed, look at how your forehead is sweating..."
The mothers accused each other of feeling guilty.
"No, wait! Why should we be afraid?"
"Even Little Liuli was defeated, surely he can't maintain his unbeatable record!"
"After the age of six, human children can break free from the second cosmic lock. Not only does the conversion rate of Qi Blood to Qi Power jump from 10% to 50%...
but they can fully master the ability of Root Bone! Combined, their power surges dozens of times! Didn't you see Little Liuli who used to be like a War God lose over fifty times today?"
"Yes, yes, today is different from the past! Our children's strength is growing like it's on a rocket! Very impressive!"
"Mentor Li Qinghong said that the cosmic rule's second lock placed on human cubs will shatter at the age of six. Countless geniuses will soar to the sky during this period!"
"Right, right. At eight, the third lock shatters, officially opening the path of cultivation, our children and Little Liuli's gap will widen again!"
"Absolutely correct! Xu Ran could win a hundred battles before because child geniuses under six carried two locks. Now that the second lock is undone, they'll definitely defeat Xu Ran!"
The mothers continuously encouraged and cheered.
Unfortunately... on the platform, thirteen children simultaneously took a few steps back, protecting Zhu Yuheng, Feng Yan, Bian Yue, Bie Jingqiu, and Zhuge Huangjin in front of them.
They were scared.
Although Xu Ran got special privileges not to attend classes often, every time he did, he would teach them a lesson.
Two and a half years! An entire two and a half years of suppression! Already left the thought steel imprint of "Xu Ran is unbeatable" in their minds! They wouldn't dare step forward to fight!
Retreat, retreat!
Protect everyone in front!
Seeing this, the vibrant Bian Yue: "..."
Feng Yan: "..."
Bie Jingqiu: "..."
The chubby Zhuge Huangjin: "..."
The worried mothers: "..."
"It's over, our children have completely lost their fighting spirit... What should we do now?"
They looked at Xu Ran with lingering fears and complicated gazes.
This kid is only four years and nine months old, yet his fighting talent is suffocatingly high.
Mentor Li Qinghong exclaimed multiple times, the principal praised him occasionally, and a group of super geniuses left traumatized.
He's a towering mountain, causing despair.
The mothers waved their fists, loudly encouraging, "Don't be afraid, babies, you're already six, you've fully mastered the power of Root Bone, if you can surpass Little Liuli, you can definitely surpass Xu Ran."
"Conquer your Heart Demon and experience Nirvana rebirth!"
In the midst of the encouragement, the children lost themselves, and a spark of fighting spirit ignited in their eyes once again.
"Yes, we're already six! Our Qi Power conversion rate reached 50%!! We've also mastered the power of Root Bone, we can do it!"
"We defeated Little Liuli, can't we beat Xu Ran?"
A child shouted, "Xu Ran, come on stage! This time we have to defeat you! We are the strongest geniuses!"
Thirteen children aggressively stepped forward by two steps.
While still keeping Zhu Yuheng, Feng Yan, Bian Yue, Bie Jingqiu, and Zhuge Huangjin protected in front.
But it was already a huge progress!
Xu Ran: "..."
He glanced around at the genius kids on the platform.
He didn't pay them heed, only searching for Tiger Girl's figure.
"Hm? Where's Tiger Girl?"
Xu Ran looked around but only saw Aunt Chen.
Looking carefully.
Goodness.
From the moment the door was pushed open, Tiger Girl swiftly hid behind Aunt Chen, her small head tucked into Aunt Chen's back, even her hands spread to cover her face.
She hid herself tightly, no wonder she couldn't be found.
Xu Ran and his mom walked over.
"Good morning, Aunt Chen."
"Little Liuli? You don't call me?"
"Big brother Xu Ran..."
Tiger Girl was unwilling to show her face, her voice no longer filled with vigor.
Xu Ran couldn't help but laugh.
"How are you? Does it hurt?"
Tiger Girl: "What hurts? I don't know..."
Hiding behind Aunt Chen, Tiger Girl sounded relaxed, pretending nothing happened, but her head was buried like an ostrich's, only her red little ears visible.
Xu Ran laughed out loud.
Little rascal, bullied around for two and a half years, finally got beat up huh?
Of course.
Joking aside, Xu Ran still stood unconditionally on Tiger Girl's side: "It's alright, big brother will go up to get revenge for you."
"Don't go! They've completely mastered the power of Root Bone, you can't win!"
Tiger Girl urgently tried to stop him, accidentally revealing her face—bruised and dark circles under her eyes rivaling panda cubs, left eye half-closed, originally chubby cheeks now swollen again from the hits, and there were welts stacked like a mountain on her head.
Xu Ran laughed out loud.
He understood, Tiger Girl must have refused to admit defeat on the platform, got knocked down repeatedly yet resisted crawling up to charge again, causing her to take many more hits, otherwise she wouldn't be this tragic.
"Aren't you silly, admitting defeat would be fine wouldn't it?"
"I didn't lose, I didn't lose. Just didn't eat enough this morning... next time I'll eat three pieces of meat!"
Voicing her defiance, she hid back behind Aunt Chen, face deeply buried, clearly not wanting Xu Ran to see her pathetic appearance.
Xu Ran was about to continue comforting with a few words.
