Baby with Daoist Monarch System-Chapter 621 - 249: Nothing Can Stump Him
Xu Binghu rubbed his eyes and waved his hand, saying, "I’m fine, I must have seen it wrong. Clean up this place, and let’s head to the next snake gathering area."
...
Time flies by like an arrow; it’s been half a month since Xu Ran started comprehending the Wind Control Skill.
During this half month, Xu Ran’s daily life consisted of comprehending the Wind Control Skill from the Beast Hide.
Xu Ran stood alone in the courtyard, eyes tightly shut. Whenever a breeze brushed over his body, it left traces of the wind’s aura. Once the aura enveloped his entire being, he suddenly opened his eyes, and Xu Ran’s body naturally floated in the air. Not high, just a mere ten meters.
At the same time, a vortex of airflow rose beneath his feet, and suddenly, Xu Ran flew forward.
Feeling his body flying forward, Xu Ran was overjoyed.
"Finally, after half a month’s effort, I can fly in the air!!"
During this half month, Xu Ran kept his flying altitude at ten meters to ensure he could fly in the air. Otherwise, merely floating in the air, he would become a live target for anyone with long-range attack abilities or someone shooting arrows from the ground.
From zero to one, this was a significant breakthrough.
When Xu Ran’s body flew ten meters in the air, suddenly the Spiritual Qi within him was depleted, leaving him stagnant, unable to advance any further. However, luckily, he didn’t fall straight to the ground like before.
"It seems that my current limit is just ten meters in height and ten meters in flight distance."
Xu Ran wasn’t quite satisfied.
According to the Beast Hide’s records, once the Wind Control Skill reaches Great Success, it doesn’t require the consumption of Spiritual Qi. Moreover, it’s extremely fast, comparable to the mighty avian leaders in the sky. But now, just ten meters in distance and height depletes all his Spiritual Qi, indicating that Xu Ran’s comprehension isn’t there yet.
"The suppression of the body by this Origin Realm is truly significant. Even with Innate Qi continually nourishing within, it’s challenging to surpass the current boundary!"
If it were on Blue Star, with the strength of the Innate Divine Body and the nourishment of Innate Qi, flying fast, or even across several miles, would be no problem.
"I still need to continue improving!!"
With that said, Xu Ran descended to the ground, restored his Spiritual Qi, and after half an hour, continued comprehending the Wind Control Skill.
The wind blew again, and Xu Ran, wearing clothes made from Tiger Demon Beast Hide, floated slowly into the air. With the experience of his first success, this time, he moved effortlessly in the air.
At this moment, Xu Ran’s entire body seemed to merge with the wind, incredibly light and graceful. Unknowingly, he had flown over ten meters, while the Spiritual Qi inside him rapidly depleted.
Finally, upon reaching fifteen meters, his Spiritual Qi was exhausted, and he came to a halt again.
For this, Xu Ran was very satisfied, "Sure enough, once you break through zero, what’s left is just day-by-day hard cultivation."
Although this time the flying distance was still not far enough, it had extended from ten to fifteen meters this time, an increase by half, which shows how strong Xu Ran’s comprehension truly is.
"At this rate, I’ll soon be able to master the Wind Control Skill completely!!"
With that said, Xu Ran calmed down and continued to comprehend the Wind Control Skill.
The next day.
Xu Ran continued comprehending the Wind Control Skill in the courtyard.
In just one day, Xu Ran’s flight distance had increased from ten meters to fifty meters.
In one day, it increased fivefold.
Moreover, after a day of hard cultivation, the consumption of Spiritual Qi in Xu Ran’s body had significantly decreased. Each restoration of Spiritual Qi now allowed him to cultivate three times.
"In just one day, not only has the flight distance increased fivefold, but the speed of Spiritual Qi consumption has also decreased significantly. This shows that hard cultivation is indeed effective."
Regarding this matter, Xu Ran has much to say. After all, he’s known as the most self-disciplined man; hard cultivation, in simple terms, is self-discipline.
After a brief adjustment, Xu Ran began to comprehend the Wind Control Skill again.
However, today was a bit different; the sky was overcast, as if it were about to rain.
Xu Ran looked up at the sky and said, "Rainy days? Perhaps the change in environment will enhance the effect of hard cultivation?"
This belongs to maximizing one’s potential in difficult environments.
With that in mind, Xu Ran willed two vortices to rise beneath his feet, spiraling like a turbocharger, slowly lifting him up again to ten meters in height.
Soon after, Xu Ran manipulated the airflow beneath his feet, flying forward. Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters, forty meters, fifty meters, ... soon reaching the limit he achieved yesterday.
Suddenly, in the distant sky, layers of dark clouds swiftly passed by, as if the already dark sky was covered with a curtain, making it hard to see the way ahead.
The sky darkened, like night, but unlike night, there was no moonlight to illuminate anything now.
But such things were trivial to Xu Ran. His eyes instantly ignited with a faint golden glow, seeing everything clearly.
"This little difficulty can’t hinder me."
With that said, Xu Ran focused on manipulating the airflow below, attempting to break through yesterday’s limit.
As a result, the sky suddenly unleashed a strong gust. The howling sound echoed in Xu Ran’s ears, making them ache slightly, and this unexpected strong wind caused his body at ten meters high to sway unstably.
"This is bad!" Xu Ran muttered to himself; the swirling airflow beneath was almost scattered by the wind, and if it weren’t for his full effort to maintain it, he would have fallen long ago.
"Should I quit for today? No way!!!" One thought arose in his mind, but it was immediately dismissed.
"This is just rainy weather. What if in the future, I encounter worse weather, or an enemy capable of controlling weather, wouldn’t the Wind Control Skill be useless then?"
It’s known that in the Beast Hide documented with the Wind Control Skill, there’s mention of a Flood Dragon. Though not a true dragon, it is nonetheless a Flood Dragon.
Even the weakest dragon is still a dragon; controlling the weather is just routine, and it can glide through the clouds in such extreme weather conditions effortlessly. If the Wind Control Skill becomes unsuitable due to such weather, then it’s a failure!!
Upon understanding this point, Xu Ran’s eyes sparkled with brilliance.
"Perhaps, this sudden weather change is a divine opportunity for insight, and it would be a loss to miss it!!"
The self-disciplined fanatic Xu Ran made an immediate decision to push through!!
Xu Ran concentrated all his attention on the Wind Control Skill, presenting all insights in his mind, and his body responded accordingly. The Innate Qi within flowed continuously, nourishing every cell.
The cells nourished by the Innate Qi also responded.
With each hit by the storm, every pore on his body opened, letting all the wind enter his body, and the cells also absorbed all the wind. At that moment, from the outside, one could clearly see Xu Ran’s body surface wrapped in streaks of white flowing light.
These white lights weren’t Innate Qi, but rather the process of cells adapting to the wind entering the body.
Wind, although formless, truly exists.
Xu Ran’s body, due to the wind’s entry, couldn’t adapt and experienced intense pain.
"Ah!!"
Xu Ran’s voice continued to shout in the storm, but all he got in return was even fiercer gusts.
During this extremely torturous process, Xu Ran held on for a full hour.
The gust gradually weakened, and Xu Ran’s body also became clearer.
His body surface seemed to be cut by sharp blades, covered with shocking wounds, each one ragged, and his aura dwindled to almost nothing.
But strangely, despite the surface of Xu Ran’s body being filled with scars, not a single drop of blood flowed out from them.
