Baby with Daoist Monarch System

Chapter 623: Chapter 250: Divine Eagle Skill (Part 2)

...

The third day.

Xu Ran continued to comprehend the Wind Control Skill in the courtyard. At this moment, he was still relishing the feeling of the breakthrough he had during the storm yesterday. He thought that if he could find that feeling again today, perhaps he could break through once more.

Suddenly, a crane’s cry rose from the sky. Looking up, a white figure appeared in the air. Its white feathers were incredibly clear, and as it spread its wings, it seemed to obscure the sun, extraordinarily divine.

”Little White is back!” It was the peregrine falcon, Little White.

When Xu Ran saw that just a second ago Little White was in the air and the next second it appeared by his side, the joy of being able to fly in the air yesterday vanished instantly.

”Little White, do you have any way to increase flying speed?” Xu Ran suddenly asked.

Little White could now roughly understand human words, so it knew what Xu Ran was talking about. However, it misunderstood; it thought Xu Ran was criticizing its speed as not being fast enough.

It understood that its master, Xu Ran, treated it very well, and the entire Xu Family liked it a lot. But after all, it was a Demon Beast, and for Demon Beasts, power is supreme.

Immediately, Little White felt immensely ashamed, spread its wings, and flew into the Great Mountain without looking back, going to train earnestly.

Xu Ran watched the direction Little White left in, somewhat at a loss, ”What happened to Little White?”

After pondering for a while and not understanding, his thoughts returned to himself.

”Just now, that speed of Little White’s was really too fast; even though my eyes have been nourished by Innate Qi, I could only vaguely see its trajectory.”

”Even though Little White is a raptor and the lord of the skies, the Snake King’s speed is definitely not low, at least faster than his, after all, it is the Snake King!!”

The reason for Xu Ran’s current worry was precisely because of the Snake King.

The Snake King had already been nearly startled awake by him, and he had already been targeted. A battle between the two was inevitable: only that with his current strength, it was simply not enough to contend.

Xu Ran touched the spot between his brows at the Celestial Acupoint and lamented, ”Originally, I thought that after regaining the Annihilation Tribulation Light, I could easily deal with the Snake King, but now it seems not so simple!!”

”I even experimented with the Annihilation Tribulation Light on Little White before, and the results weren’t as powerful as I’d imagined!!”

Not long after recovering the Annihilation Tribulation Light, Xu Ran conducted an experiment with Little White on its power, but the result was disappointing; the destructiveness of the Annihilation Tribulation Light wasn’t as strong as imagined.

Even a raptor like Little White, primarily speed-focused and with low defense, could easily block the Annihilation Tribulation Light, so what about the Snake King?

The Snake King’s current special traits were still unknown. It wasn’t clear whether it was like the poisonous snake that massacred the village at the beginning, with horrifying poison, or like the white snake currently encircling the village, with terrifying defense, or perhaps, both. Everything was uncertain.

Now, the cards in hand, besides the Annihilation Tribulation Light, were only Little White. Once the Snake King could withstand Little White, my odds against the Snake King would be very slim.

At once, Xu Ran’s face became resolute, muttering, ”I must thoroughly understand the Wind Control Skill so that when facing the Snake King, I will have a powerful countermeasure!!”

One might say, within a day, he could grow from being able only to walk in the air to flying as fast as running. Such comprehension ability is unmatched no matter where you place it. It’s a pity that presently, Xu Ran is still merely a baby; his body cannot sustain a large amount of hard cultivation.

Even with the Innate Divine Body, a baby is just a baby; it’s inherently a time for nurturing, and his self-defense mechanisms would forcibly make Xu Ran stop.

”Alas! Time is still too tight!”

Xu Ran felt a bit helpless, looking up at the infinitely vast sky and shaking his head.

”Even though this world is a high-level plane, the Great Wilderness Border Village is situated in an extremely marginal position. The Body Refining Technique was obtained quietly, not to mention more powerful Divine Techniques; pursuing immortality is even further away!!”

The geographical location still overly restricted his growth and, plus, Xu Ran himself is a baby. If he were to reveal his divine nature near a village by the Great Mountain it would be fine, but if it were a bit more centrally located, were people to find out about his divine peculiarity, they might just capture him for study or even usurpment isn’t impossible.

Thinking about it, Xu Ran shook his head, casting away all the scattered thoughts in his mind.

”Don’t think too much, just focus on understanding the current Wind Control Skill properly, and deal with the Snake King incident a year later first!!”

Saying this, Xu Ran again rose into the air. Because of his rapid progress yesterday, he could see clearly; the vortex-like airflow beneath his feet had disappeared.

Xu Ran’s proficiency had reached a level where he no longer needed the two vortex-like airflows to lift him.

”Today’s weather compared to yesterday’s is like night and day; with less pressure, flying in the sky, there’s no hindrance at all!”

The evident change made Xu Ran more certain, the decision yesterday was absolutely correct.

”The most difficult period has now been overcome; what’s left is to practice well!”

...

At one year and three months old in infancy.

Now it’s been another half a month since Xu Ran learned the Wind Control Skill.

During this half month, due to Little White’s misunderstanding, it had been persistently training in the Great Mountain every day, determined to meet its master’s demands.

Today, Little White once again arrived at the edge of the cliff where it had inadvertently consumed the Vermilion Fruit. Beside it, there was a piece of stone with murals on it. A part of the content depicted a divine raptor flying in the sky, and it was from this mural that Little White learned its divine skill—the Divine Eagle Skill.

To practice the Divine Eagle Skill, only this cliff could meet the requirement.

Little White stood determined at the edge of the cliff. From here, one could virtually see all the sceneries of the Great Mountain, incredibly magnificent, with lakes, bamboo forests, mountain streams, ..., and under each scene, there was an aura stronger than Little White.

But at this moment, Little White had no time to admire these magnificent sceneries or to pay attention to what kind of Demon Beasts these mighty auras belonged to; it only looked unwaveringly at the sky below its feet, as if it wanted to completely conquer it.

A gust of wind brushed over the cliff, and in an instant, Little White spread its wings and soared into the sky, streaks of golden arcs trailing along with the white light, perfectly cutting through the sky.

Instantly, the sound of the wings flapping echoed throughout the entire Great Mountain, causing all the Demon Beasts to look up to the sky at the same time.

All they saw was a pair of giant wings perfectly blocking the sunlight pouring into the Great Mountain. In their eyes, it seemed like the massive sun in the sky had been obscured, and the entire Great Mountain dimmed.

Seeing this scene, all the Demon Beasts’ eyes revealed looks of shock; they hadn’t expected there to be such a powerful raptor within the Great Mountain.

In the blink of an eye, Little White disappeared from above the Great Mountain and landed back at the edge of the cliff.

The Demon Beasts in the Great Mountain, seeing the skyborne beast disappear, were quietly pleased when sunlight shined back into the mountain.

In truth, Little White’s size wasn’t that large. Without spreading its wings, it was only fifty centimeters. When its wings were spread, it reached at most one and a half meters.

But in the eyes of the mountain’s Demon Beasts, Little White’s figure could directly obscure the sun because Little White had mastered the Divine Eagle Skill from the murals.

The Divine Eagle Skill greatly enhanced the aura of the raptor, significantly increased the raptor’s speed, and boosted all aspects of the raptor’s capabilities.

Under the blessing of the Divine Eagle Skill and Innate Qi, Little White imperceptibly exerted an invisible pressure on the Demon Beasts within the Great Mountain, so in their eyes, the gigantic raptor obscuring the sun was a misconception.

Little White’s eyes were sharp and could clearly see the look of shock in the eyes of the Demon Beasts just now. It was very satisfied with the Divine Eagle Skill. Just as it was about to bask in the glory, it suddenly remembered the words of its master—Xu Ran, and its previously relaxing mind ignited with urgency again, continuing to soar with its wings.
