Chapter 817: Chapter 356: Great Success! (2)
Thus, Xu Ran was constantly in pain.
Unless the Earth Attribute Puppet directly killed Xu Ran with one strike, without suffering fatal damage, the Nine-Layered Giant Tower would not resurrect him.
If it were anyone else touched by even a bit of Earth Vein Poison Gas, they would die within a short period and be resurrected immediately.
But for Xu Ran, it was endless torment!
Knowing this, all soul bodies looked at Xu Ran with pity, including the junior sister and the second senior brother. Only the senior brother’s gaze remained as cold as ever.
...
Xu Ran saw the mist dripping onto the ground, becoming extremely cautious.
At this moment, the Innate Qi emanating from him was almost depleted, and he did not know how potent the poison gas was.
The fact that the Taotie could transform it into this form suggested it wasn’t weak, and Xu Ran even felt that the poison gas might corrode even Innate Qi.
This was his unique sixth sense.
"I still need to be careful, even if the Innate Qi can resist it, it’s not much now!"
Xu Ran’s face showed a hint of solemnity as he looked at the Earth Attribute Puppet undergoing massive changes.
"Roar!"
It sensed Xu Ran’s gaze and immediately let out an angry roar, with poison gas spreading from its mouth. Then it strode through the air, opening its limbs, and its body segments suddenly elongated, beginning to coil in the sky.
Upon closer inspection, the position of the palms and soles had unknowingly turned into dragon heads.
In a blink, the Rock Dragon, transformed from its limbs, charged toward Xu Ran.
This Rock Dragon was different from the one summoned by an array.
The Rock Dragon’s entire body was made of rocks, appearing dark golden. The stones assembled, with gaps between them, spraying poison gas from these gaps.
For a moment, the sky above the Dueling Arena was enveloped by green mist, and visibility became extremely poor.
Faced with such changes, Xu Ran remained unfazed, with golden light bursting from his body, and Spiritual Qi spraying from within him. In an instant, Xu Ran transformed into a dazzling sun within the Dueling Arena.
Although still surrounded by green mist, visibility increased to more than ten meters.
"Huff!"
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past Xu Ran’s left, and his body instinctively leaned to the side. The next moment, a dark golden Rock Dragon swept past his left side. If it were a second slower, Xu Ran’s head might have been struck by the Rock Dragon, likely resulting in a separation of head and body.
The Earth Attribute Puppet stood on the Giant Tripod, surprised to see Xu Ran dodge its attack with a mere sidestep.
All around had already been shrouded by Earth Vein Poison Gas, and Xu Ran’s vision was blocked.
Moreover, with the addition of the Taotie’s phantom, its speed was no longer a weakness. Under the advantage of both aspects, the Rock Dragon was still dodged, which was unexpected.
Seeing its attack fail, the remaining three dark golden Rock Dragons began spiraling again in the unseen sky above Xu Ran.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Instantly, the remaining three Rock Dragons charged toward Xu Ran at lightning speed, so fast they appeared as three dark golden streaks of lightning in the sky!
"Hmm!"
Xu Ran snorted coldly, his feet started moving continuously, and his figure danced elegantly like performing a perfect ballet.
Meanwhile, the four Rock Dragons traversed back and forth within the Earth Vein Poison Gas, striking toward Xu Ran at lightning speed.
In just ten breaths, the four Rock Dragons launched no less than a hundred attacks against Xu Ran.
But these attacks, let alone causing harm to Xu Ran, couldn’t even touch him!
The Earth Attribute Puppet saw this and showed an angry expression, with a green mist spraying from its body. The next moment, the four Rock Dragons spiraling high in the sky returned to its body and became its limbs once again.
Soul bodies outside the Dueling Arena witnessed Xu Ran effortlessly dodging the attacks of the four Rock Dragons, looking bewildered, not knowing how Xu Ran managed it.
"Senior brother, how does he easily dodge the Rock Dragon’s attacks with impaired vision?" The junior sister’s confused voice sounded.
She specialized in Spiritual Power, so she wasn’t well-versed in these body techniques.
The second senior brother had a constitution relying on pure physical strength and Black Flame Body for combat, without much understanding of these technique-related means.
Among those present, only the senior brother might know how Xu Ran achieved this.
All soul bodies were curious, watching him intently.
The senior brother heard the question, furrowing his brows, pondering in his mind. Moments later, he relaxed his brows and spoke.
"This newcomer, his mastery of Wind Control Skill has reached Great Success. He can clearly perceive the direction of the wind!"
"Even if the Rock Dragon controlled by the Earth Attribute Puppet is silent, even with Earth Vein Poison Gas blocking his view."
"He only needs to sense the direction of the wind to easily know the direction of incoming attacks, and with his elegant body technique, it’s easy to dodge!"
The Wind Control Skill, this divine technique was unfamiliar for a long time, so besides the senior brother, almost no one knew this body technique divine skill, naturally ignorant of the principle behind Xu Ran’s dodges.
All soul bodies nodded upon hearing this, simultaneously filled with surprise.
How could a child only two years old master such advanced divine techniques?
You must know, the Wind Control Skill requires perceiving the wind’s direction, which alone requires vast time, spending every day with strong winds, investing hundreds of years to possibly achieve mastery.
Yet, such a young child had mastered such divine techniques.
This divine technique was extraordinarily powerful.
Mastering the wind’s direction allows perception of wind’s flow, meaning as long as not appearing in others’ sight, their presence remains undetected.
After all, regardless of the cultivation level of great powers, even when hidden, they release a certain aura.
If one can control the wind’s flow, they can transform it into wind’s aura, achieving an effect of concealment.
Being able to perceive wind’s flow also means no one can approach your body silently.
Regardless of the cultivation level of great powers, any movement drives the wind’s movement.
Even if extremely weak, for those mastering the wind, it’s easy to notice the incongruity!
Simply put, mastering the Wind Control Skill allows you to become an unseen killer!
...
Not sidetracked by the ineffectiveness of its Rock Dragon, the Earth Attribute continued its assault, forming incantations with its hands. Behind it, the Taotie’s phantom again radiated dark golden light, and a unique Taotie aura flooded back into its body.
For a moment, the Earth Attribute’s body swelled again, its limbs growing nearly tenfold compared to before.
Simultaneously, its limbs extended again, transforming into four robust dark golden Rock Dragons, spiraling in the air.
Compared to earlier, these four dark golden Rock Dragons possessed darker hues, emanated a heavier aura, and sprayed more intense Earth Vein Poison Gas from their gaps.
Suddenly, confidence surged within the Earth Attribute Puppet, and a strong yellow light burst from the center of its forehead, illuminating the four Rock Dragons.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
All at once, four raspy dragon roars resounded again.
The four Rock Dragons immediately charged toward Xu Ran, engulfed in green mist.
Wherever they passed, sound explosions erupted, deafening to hear!
Even though Xu Ran was surrounded by Earth Vein Poison Gas, his mastery of Wind Control Skill let him know that four even stronger Rock Dragons approached.
"Hmm!"
Xu Ran snorted coldly, this time not dodging, as golden light flared from his body, his fists suddenly swelling, advancing instead of retreating, a powerful fist wind dispersing the surrounding Earth Vein Poison Gas.
As visibility returned, the four Rock Dragons were already before him, their dragon heads clashing with his fists!
