"Uncle Ye Ping, Uncle Feng, Uncle Yan, Uncle Hao..."
He called them one by one, and everyone took turns patting Xu Ran on the shoulder.
"Not bad, little blazing one. Youâve gotten so strong! Watching your battle video just now, itâs like seeing a demigod in the making. You might really become the first super genius in human history to become a god!"
Xu Ran smiled humbly: "...Itâs still early, canât say for sure."
Everyone said in unison, "Itâs possible! Very possible! Extremely possible!"
Xu Ran beamed brightly, not refuting it.
A god?
Just a short-term goal.
Nothing worth mentioning.
The director looked Xu Ran up and down, feeling very curious, as if Xu Ran had undergone some earth-shattering change, but he couldnât put a finger on it.
"Werenât you off for some cultivation? How come youâre back to see me after just a few dozen minutes?"
The director stood up, squeezing Xu Ranâs arm to feel it.
But under the cover of body tempering techniques, he couldnât detect any change in Xu Ran. He could only look bewildered, feeling he might be overthinking.
"Whatâs the matter you came to find me for?"
Xu Ranâs eyes were bright and clear: "Oh, I made a bit of progress just now, so I wanted to see how much Iâve improved."
"Ah, youâve made progress again?"
Xu Ran chuckled lightly: "Just a tiny bit."
The director was puzzled: "How are you going to test it then? Iâm just an old bag of bones and canât compete with you in combat skills..."
Xu Ran stated his intention: "I want to go to the Training Forest to kill some Crystal Beasts."
The director certainly didnât think of refusingâitâs just a few Crystal Beasts, after all, easily handled by the champion: "What level do you want?"
Xu Ran probed: "Do you have any with a million Qi Blood Value?"
The director sprang up instantly, his surprised voice sharp as if someone had stabbed him: "What? A million Qi Blood Value?! Are you aiming for the heavens? Do you really have the confidence to kill a Crystal Beast with a million Qi Blood Value?!"
Xu Ranâs combat skills resembled a grandmasterâs. He did have a bit of belief, especially since Lin Feng just told him that Xu Ranâs Paperman Legion could slay monsters with 600,000 Qi Blood Value.
But it had only been ten days since then.
Could it be that yesterdayâs battle really caused such a qualitative leap in Xu Ran?
The director was absolutely shocked.
Seeing the director so flustered.
Xu Ran kept a cautious stance: "I just want to try. Challenge my limits. I might not necessarily be able to kill a Crystal Beast with a million Qi Blood Value."
To be honest.
The Super Explosion Slash can definitely kill an 800,000 Qi Blood Value monster, but whether the Annihilation Tribulation Light can kill a million remains to be verified.
Its upper limit might be higher.
The director looked at Xu Ran with doubt: "Might not be able to kill? So can you, or canât you?"
Xu Ran: "I donât know, gotta try it out."
Upon hearing this.
The director relaxed: "There arenât monsters with more than 500,000 Qi Blood Value in the Training Forest, youâll have to go to the Alien Battlefield. After all, itâs just a Training Forest; handling million-level monsters would be like having a ticking time bomb."
Xu Ran responded with an "oh": "Alright, understood, a bit disappointed."
Seeing Xu Ranâs disappointed look.
Lin Feng, acting as a representative, asked the question on everyoneâs mind: "No way, Little Ran, over two hundred days ago, you could at most kill monsters with 150,000 Qi Blood Value. Two hundred days later, the maximum is 600,000 Qi Blood Value. This 200-day progress is still understandable... talismans + Qi Blood Cultivation Method + hard cultivation..."
"But in just a short ten days since we last parted, your strength has doubled again? What kind of monster are you?!"
Xu Ran thought about it; his current progress really defies science.
Every explanation has its loopholes.
So, he decided to tell the truth.
Anyway, the people in front of him would risk their lives to protect him, even if the Resentful God came, he would be safe.
Xu Ran, with a serious expression: "Iâve nurtured my Root Bone, just now, fifty drops of the Annihilation Flame were completely used up, nurturing my Root Bone."
The office went silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
After a long while.
Only then did anyone make a sound.
"Wha... what...???"
"Youâve nurtured a real Root Bone?"
The director was the first to jump up, grabbing Xu Ranâs arm: "How come I didnât feel it just now."
Xu Ran: "Divine objects keep themselves low-key. Need to use instruments."
The director became serious, as if organizing a particularly grand ceremony: "Iâll immediately have my assistant bring the machine over."
This matter is enormous, even a major event.
Comprehension Root Bone is already invincible enough.
Nurturing a Root Bone on top of thatâhow invincible does that make him?
Is he really going to become a god?!
Lin Feng, Uncle Ye Ping, Liu Yan, all stared at Xu Ran with burning eyes.
Their greatest regret was that Xu Ran lacked his own Root Bone, lacked the Heaven-Gifted Divine Techniques, but now he had it!
It means Xu Ran like a tiger with wings added, further ahead on the path of invincibility!
Ah Hao: "Come on, tell us, what level is your Root Bone? Golden, Crimson Gold? Whatâs the Heaven-Gifted Divine Techniques, the Heaven-Gifted Passive?"
As Ah Hao finished speaking.
Others fell silent.
They only stared intently at Xu Ran with glaring eyes.
"Divine Level Root Bone, can emit a Tribulation Light to annihilate everything. As for the passive, I havenât figured it out yet."
Xu Ran only revealed part of it.
"Annihilate everything? What kind of... damage does it cause?"
Xu Ran: "Thatâs also why I want real combat. I donât even understand its damage yet."
Before long.
The assistant brought the machine in.
After doing a detection.
Indeed, there were magnetic field fluctuations from high-energy clusters.
The directorâs eyes sparkled, exceedingly excited.
"No wonder I felt like something earth-shattering had happened to you, turns out it was the Root Bone, good, good, now youâre even more invincible."
"About the real combat thing, let your Uncle Ye take you to the Alien Battlefield for practice."
Xu Ran nodded: "Okay, just in time Iâm out of Annihilation Flame too..."
