On the free fighting ring, the little kids who had ignited their fighting spirit were getting more and more noisy.
"Xu Ran, you get up here!"
"Now you're the little brother!"
"Yes, little brother!"
"???"
Alright, alright, so you want to taunt me like this? Seems like you're really itching for a beating!
Xu Ran put on his gloves and flipped onto the ring.
Tiger Girl panicked, running over to try and pull Xu Ran back: "Brother Ran, come down quickly!"
Xu Ran waved his hand, turned to face the group of young talents: "All of you come at me together!"
Zhu Yuheng, Feng Yan, and Bie Jingqiu glanced at each other.
How could he be so confident?
Not even wearing protective gear?
The little girl with white hair and eyebrows, Zhu Yuheng: "I... I'll immobilize him..."
Feng Yan leaped to the front, striking a defensive pose, his body surging with golden light: "I'll hold the front!"
Bie Jingqiu: "I'll handle the spiritual attacks, disrupt his offense."
"Bian Yue, the attack is yours."
Zhuge Huangjin: "What about me, what about me? I'll... I'll speed you up."
The top five super geniuses efficiently formed a "battle array".
The first to move was Zhu Yuheng, this naturally white-haired and white-eyebrowed little girl, from her chest ripples like water waves spread out, in an instant, Xu Ran seemed to be dragged into a slow-motion space, his movements becoming sluggish.
"Hmm? Is this an ability related to time? To think you could possess such a magical root bone?"
Xu Ran was slightly surprised.
"Bie Jingqiu's spiritual attack. However, at this stage, spiritual attack is like tickling, amusing."
"Bian Yue has the Sword God root bone? At only six years old, to possess such a sharp sword intent. Quite interesting."
"Zhuge Huangjin makes their speed faster..."
"No wonder they are super geniuses who, after turning six, have grasped root abilities, their combat is so organized, probably enough to defeat a cultivator with 3000 points of Qi Blood?"
Xu Ran analyzed like a mentor, his eyes showing a look of praise as if looking at juniors.
At this moment.
The five-person "battle array" was full of fighting spirit, advancing step by step towards Xu Ran.
Xu Ran narrowed his eyes: "How much strength should I use? One-fiftieth? One-fiftieth should do."
Things like perfect [Origami Spirit Communication], [Little Xu Flying Knife]... were simply unnecessary, using them would be like using a dragon-slaying saber to kill a chicken.
No need, really no need.
It's too much of a bully.
He lowered his agility, displaying the beginner level Mysterious Footwork + Lightweight Grass Flying Technique.
Yet even so, he was still like strolling in a leisurely court, breaking free from Zhu Yuheng's time constraint...
Then, a cool figure flashed, weaving through Feng Yan and Bian Yue's lines of defense, walking towards Zhu Yuheng, reaching right in front of her.
The wind's flow increased its speed!
Zhu Yuheng's white hair was blown up by the wind, revealing her broad white forehead.
She stared with wide eyes at Xu Ran, who was close at hand.
Like a startled little white rabbit, panic flooding her eyes.
"How... how could this be..."
Xu Ran grabbed her arm, giving her two black eyes, then tossed her like a shot put to the edge of the ring.
"Ah..."
She tumbled head over heels off the stage, and in her dazed state, it seemed as if many little stars were spinning around her head.
A mage being approached was as fragile as a little Kunzi, shattering at a touch.
Bie Jingqiu as well, her spiritual impact was useless against Xu Ran.
"Bang bang!"
She too was given two black eyes, turning into a bowling ball, rolling over ten meters, crashing into Zhu Yuheng.
Zhu Yuheng: "Ah..."
Bie Jingqiu: "Ah..."
Stars started spinning around the foreheads of the two little girls.
Both major control elements were taken down.
Bian Yue was dumbstruck: "You... you... you... don't come any closer!"
"Down you go!"
Xu Ran gave him two black eyes, continuing the bowling toss.
Zhu Yuheng: "Ah..."
Bie Jingqiu: "Ah..."
Bian Yue: "Ah..."
[You have defeated a super genius, Young Venerable progress +1...]
[You have defeated a super genius, Young Venerable progress +1...]
[You have defeated a super genius, Young Venerable progress +1...]
Xu Ran gazed towards Zhuge Huangjin.
The little chubby kid slid to his knees: "I surrender, please don't hit my face."
"Heh."
With two punches, Zhuge Huangjin rolled off the ring with panda eyes.
Only Feng Yan was left from the top five.
Left until last because Feng Yan was covered in golden light, his defense like the Black Tortoise Guarding Stele, a bit difficult to throw down, Xu Ran gave a few kicks, slowly kicking the Defensive-as-a-Mountain Feng Yan off the ring, stacking him onto Zhuge Huangjin.
Feng Yan remained silent as a mountain.
But Zhuge Huangjin yelled with full energy: "Ouch... what are you doing!"
Afterward.
Xu Ran walked leisurely, executing thirteen pairs of panda eyes.
No one could dodge, simply undodgeable.
The geniuses were in collapse.
Deep down inside... the unshakeable notion of Xu Ran being invincible was imprinted once again.
[Progress +1...]
[Progress +1...]
[Progress +1...]
A few minutes later, the progress for the golden achievement Young Venerable reached 53 points.
"Bro--ther--Ran～"
"Heh heh heh heh heh heh! Bro--ther--Ran!"
Below the ring.
Tiger Girl, bruised and swollen, with a wide smile on her lips, clapped her little hands excitedly.
Seeing her own daughter with a bruised nose and swollen face yet clapping enthusiastically, Tiger Girl's mother's previous exasperation was completely swept away: "Well done, Xu Ran!"
However, as Xu Ran's own mother, Lin Qian merely nodded slightly, not too thrilled.
She was already accustomed to Xu Ran's excellence—her son always scored one hundred points, always scoring one hundred, and this time he scored a hundred again.
Calm, alright? Just basic operation! She wore an expression of utter calm.
In stark contrast were the other mothers.
They couldn't bear to watch, closing their eyes.
"Lost so disastrously, almost a complete crush..."
"Even unlocking the second shackle and mastering root abilities, a six-year-old child still couldn't win? These are supposed to be the strongest batch of talents in Jing Province, yet they were utterly defeated..."
"His combat skills are truly ingenious! Like a cultivator who has rigorously trained body technique for ten years!"
"Is this the fearsome nature of the Comprehension Root Bone? Sigh..."
The mothers sighed with admiration.
A bunch of guards: "..."
Li Qinghong took a deep breath: "Principal, just what is going on here? I thought Xu Ran was falling behind... but he can still crush them?"
She couldn't help but be puzzled, what level exactly is Xu Ran's Comprehension Root Bone at? Initially, she thought such an elusive gift would be overshadowed by the root bones of Zhu Yuheng and the others, but now it seemed anything but simple.
The principal whispered: "I don't know either, can't tell for now."
"I remember three years ago, he could communicate with birds, calling over a flock of little birds! Given his comprehension, maybe over the years, he's kept some peculiar abilities hidden."
"Anyway, ever since he entered the Demigod Kindergarten, every day without fail he feeds animals, swims, hikes, reads in the library, practices origami, and throws darts... Two years ago, he even secretly ate the bones of a Tier Seven Crystal Beast. Even though now he's still eating a few pieces every day..."
Li Qinghong widened her eyes: "Huh? Eating Crystal Beast bones? What's he doing that for?"
The principal shrugged: "I don't know, there must be a reason. As the principal, I haven't pried into his privacy. I've only occasionally glanced out of curiosity."
Li Qinghong was increasingly baffled: "...He's practicing darts too? How's his dart skill? What's origami about?"
The principal thought for a moment: "His dart skill is spot-on, as for origami, I guess he might be comprehending something, but exactly what, I can't figure out."
Li Qinghong was taken aback: "So he's actually been holding back moves?"
The principal smiled lightly: "It's not holding back moves, rather no one has forced him to use them, he simply has no need to use them, so how can it be called holding back?"
Li Qinghong was astounded, but also increasingly regretful.
"Principal, does the Comprehension Root Bone, something so intangible and even unable to be detected for magnetic field intensity, provide a cultivator with a divinely bestowed powerful divine skill, a heavenly amplification effect?"
The principal pondered slightly.
"Theoretically, no. If no magnetic field fluctuations can be detected, it implies no high core energy, and without high core energy, divine skill cannot be brewed, divine augmentation cannot be obtained."
Hearing this.
Li Qinghong was heartbroken: "If that's the case, Xu Ran has two fewer divine skills compared to other geniuses, no matter how hard he tries in the future, he won't be able to make up for this talent gap?"
