Baby with Daoist Monarch System

”No way!” Xu Ran exclaimed in his heart.

At this moment, he had already realized something was off.

Although only one golden beam was aimed at him, in reality, the remaining eight golden beams had already blocked all his escape routes.

Once Xu Ran tried to dodge the beam locked onto him, he would be attacked by the other eight beams.

If he wanted to resist, he had to withstand this strongest beam!

In the blink of an eye, Xu Ran made a decision, his body wrapped in Spiritual Qi, his arms instantly swelling, and the Innate Qi on his body’s surface also fused into his arms.

Already powerful arms swelled again, and in a moment, aura not weaker than the golden beam suddenly appeared in the Dueling Arena.

”Since there’s no escape, let’s try facing it head-on!”

Xu Ran swung his swollen arms, charging straight towards the golden beam locked onto him.

In an instant, two golden lights collided violently in the air, like a million stars exploding simultaneously, erupting into a blinding light and a deafening roar.

The Dueling Arena shook violently, cracks appeared on the extremely hard ground, and even the Celestial Secret Divine Gaze, like nine suns suspended high above, shook to varying degrees.

Among them, the central eye shook the least.

”What is this newcomer doing?”

At this time, the Soul Body entities observing Xu Ran’s trial all voiced a big question.

They couldn’t understand why he charged straight at the beam; with his speed, he could have easily dodged it. Given this, why make such a futile effort?

It’s known that even if Xu Ran’s body could generate Innate Qi indefinitely, he couldn’t actively mobilize Innate Qi from his Sea of Spirit during the trial.

Previously, thanks to resolving a means specifically targeting the Sea of Spirit, he had a chance to replenish his Innate Qi, otherwise, before the Gold Attribute Puppet appeared, he would’ve run out of Innate Qi.

In this situation, conserving energy is the best strategy.

”The newcomer’s way of fighting is too crude, only using his strength without limits. Once he encounters an opponent not weaker than him in all aspects, the difference in Spiritual Qi manipulation will easily lead to a miserable defeat!”

The one speaking was the junior sister.

At this moment, she was very confused by Xu Ran’s decision, even a bit disdainful.

With her speed, she could dodge the golden beam heading towards Xu Ran, as well as the remaining eight beams that are equally slow.

Clearly, there are better solutions, yet he chooses to deplete the most Spiritual Qi, making the worst decision!!

”Junior sister!” said the second senior brother, squinting his eyes, looking at the mirror with admiration.

”This newcomer isn’t crude at all!”

All the Soul Bodies, upon hearing the second senior brother speak, immediately perked up and listened carefully.

Among those present, the second senior brother’s combat experience was the richest, as he was a Great Power from Ancient Times, having endured untold battles over the eons, possessing insights above others even in innate thoughts.

Even the first senior brother did not have as rich combat experience as the second senior brother.

It was for this reason he could immediately see through Xu Ran’s intentions.

”What do you mean?” The junior sister was somewhat dissatisfied, glaring at the second senior brother.

The first senior brother was also a bit puzzled, as he hadn’t discerned Xu Ran’s true intentions.

Feeling the gaze of everyone, the second senior brother explained.

”The Celestial Secret Divine Gaze is famed as a Divine Soldier capable of seeing through all weaknesses, and it incorporates a trace of the Heavenly Dao’s aura, boasting immense power!”

”The moment this newcomer stood dazed, was when the Celestial Secret Divine Gaze analyzed him completely, adding to it the process of trials with the four Attribute Puppets, it instantly knew his weaknesses and combat awareness.”

”It seems like only one beam aimed at him, but in reality, the remaining eight beams completely blocked any escape path for the newcomer!”

”In such a situation, would you rather face one beam head-on, or eight beams?”

It could be said that the strategy of the Celestial Secret Divine Gaze was an unmistakable open plot, neither encountering nor ignoring would be an option, easily placing one in a dilemma.

The second senior brother paused briefly, then continued.

”This newcomer’s combat experience is also profound, and within a moment, he decided to confront the strongest beam!”

”It’s not to say this decision is the best, but making a choice in an instant in a dilemma indicates extreme decisiveness!”

With that, the second senior brother gave his highest evaluation.

He also acknowledged Xu Ran’s combat talent and instinct.

His rich combat experience stemmed from countless battles over the eons, not merely retreating into cultivation, allowing him to quickly discern Xu Ran’s intentions.

Yet Xu Ran?

A child under two years old, even if he fought daily, would only amount to less than 700 battles.

In these 700 battles, one also needs to remove the useless experiences gained from low cultivation times.

Although the second senior brother could easily see Xu Ran and the Celestial Secret Divine Gaze’s intent, he was still amazed by Xu Ran’s frightening ability to perceive and decide swiftly.

Even facing the most powerful golden beam head-on would cause injury.

The fact occurred just as the second senior brother anticipated.

As Xu Ran again empowered his arms with Innate Qi, his figure launched towards the golden beam.

The remaining eight beams were initially slow, having no time to respond, leaving only one person and one beam to collide.

After the second senior brother explained to the Soul Bodies, the enormous light from the collision dissipated, revealing Xu Ran’s figure to everyone.

Surrounding him, the Innate Qi barrier was like a burst bubble, shattered into pieces, turning into white Spiritual Qi dissipated in the air.

His swollen body returned to a baby’s size, with various scars and blooding gushing from his small body.

His miserable state was displayed to everyone, yet he still maintained an upright posture, hovering in the high air.

”Not bad!”

Xu Ran wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said softly, as if the scars on his body had no impact on him.

As it was.

He suddenly burst with golden light, instantly healing every scar on his body, as if they never existed, with not even a trace of blood remaining on the back of his hand.

”This beam actually broke through my defense, impressive indeed!”

Bear in mind, since entering the Nine-Layered Giant Tower trials, his defense had never been broken.

The previous Celestial Spirit Sword Array cut his palm only because he deliberately did so to analyze its Source.

In the strictest sense, this was indeed his first injury.

Xu Ran’s injures instantly healed, astonishing the Soul Bodies outside the Dueling Arena into exclamations.

”This newcomer’s recovery ability is too strong, instantly returning to optimal condition!!”

”He exudes immense aura, entirely unaffected!”

”The beams from the Celestial Secret Divine Gaze were extremely powerful, bending space, yet only broke the newcomer’s defense!”

”...”

Seeing Xu Ran unharmed, the second senior brother chuckled.

”Junior sister, it seems even facing off against the Celestial Secret Divine Gaze didn’t drain much of his Spiritual Qi!”

From the start, the junior sister believed Xu Ran’s strategy to face the Celestial Secret Divine Gaze head-on was wrong.

Yet, after the initial maneuver, Xu Ran seemed wholly unaffected.

”Hmph!” The junior sister turned her head, saying, ”The Celestial Secret Divine Gaze hasn’t disappeared yet, why rush!”

”Don’t forget, the newcomer’s weaknesses have been fully perceived, maybe the trial will end in the next moment!”
