Zhuge Huang Jin raised the golden "Dragon Turtle" as if holding up a trophy of glory.
Xu Ranâs eyelid twitched wildly: "Uh...are you serious?"
Zhuge Huang Jin: "Absolutely serious, Iâve already signed an agreement with the invincible Turtle with the help of a powerful root bone user. Our combined skill is a masterpiece. Teacher Xiao Ran must be very interested in my genius idea, right? The national serverâs number one combined skill, requesting to play."
Xu Ran refused: "No, Iâm not interested."
Zhuge Huang Jinâs gaze was firm: "No, Xiao Ran, you are definitely interested."
As he spoke, Zhuge Huang Jin, carrying the invincible Turtle, walked towards Feng Yan: "Hey, Brother Feng Yan, let me demonstrate my combined skill, how about it?"
Feng Yan glanced at Zhuge Huang Jin, then at the inexplicably "familiar" invincible Turtle, and unexpectedly got a bad premonition, but he didnât think much about it. Instead, he graciously gave way, looking at Zhuge Huang Jin with curiosity.
"Thank you."
Zhuge Huang Jin nodded solemnly, placing the invincible Turtle on the ground and taking a step back.
"Itâs starting, invincible Turtle!"
He shouted loudly, seemingly drawing everyoneâs attention. At the moment his voice sounded, the invincible Turtle radiated a faint golden glow, undeniably receiving the command, brewing its innate divine technique â Iron Head Charge!
During the brewing process of its innate skill, a gust of green wind flowed around Zhuge Huang Jin, gathering in his palm. He flung it out, endowing it onto the invincible Turtle.
"Whooshâ"
In an instant, the invincible Turtle transformed into a golden blur, charging fiercely at Feng Yanâs exclusive boulder.
"Bang!"
A loud noise shook the earth, with a force of impact only two or three degrees weaker than Feng Yanâs.
"Haha! How about it, Teacher Xiao Ran?"
Zhuge Huang Jin laughed heartily, thinking he looked handsome while ruffling his bangs.
The crowd was astonished: "...Whatâs this?"
Bian Yue: "Zhuge Huang Jinâs attack skill? The damage seems quite good."
Nie Jing Qiu: "However, why did the collision scene just now seem so familiar?"
Zhu Yuheng: "...Uh..."
She looked at the golden Dragon Turtle, then at Feng Yan, looked again at Feng Yan, and then at the golden Dragon Turtle, wanting to say something but holding back.
"Hmm?"
Nie Jing Qiu and Bian Yue noticed something amiss, following Zhu Yuhengâs gaze towards Feng Yan.
The expressions of the two quickly turned peculiar.
They look alike! They look too alike! Both are shields, both have spikes protruding from the shield, both are high-speed collisions...itâs not just resemblance, they are practically long-lost brothers from different species.
The two wanted to laugh, but considering that laughing out loud wouldnât be polite, they rubbed their faces with small hands, looking like they were holding back uncomfortably.
Whatâs going on?
Whatâs going on?
Feng Yan looked at the crowd with strange expressions and suddenly realized, after a brief silence, Feng Yan quickly turned red, finally understanding why the first glance at the golden Dragon Turtle evoked a sense of familiarity and uneasiness â
Zhuge Huang Jinâs turtle... whether itâs the shape of the shield or the innate divine technique, it resembles him to the extreme! Itâs practically a replica of him!
Oh, for goodnessâ sake!
Feng Yan flared up and rushed towards Zhuge Huang Jin: "ZhuââgeââHuangââJin!"
Zhuge Huang Jin dazedly used Mysterious Footwork: "Heavens, whatâs with suddenly attacking this handsome young lord?"
Feng Yan gritted his teeth: "Death battle! I want to have a death battle with you! Never-ending!"
Zhuge Huang Jin, slow to react, was at a loss.
Tiger Girl quietly landed on the side, effortlessly suppressing the about-to-rampage Feng Yan with one hand: "Itâs okay, even though itâs true that thereâs some resemblance, your destructive power is three times stronger than that turtleâs combined skill."
As she said this, she seriously made a hand gesture indicating three times, as if the additional three times were worth boasting about.
Feng Yan: "..."
No, Big Sis, please donât always only care about strength, okay? Itâs not a matter of strength, itâs about resemblance! Even if itâs several times stronger, itâs a silent mockery, a provocation!
Feng Yan glared at Zhuge Huang Jin.
Zhuge Huang Jin hid at a distance, looking at the invincible Turtle, then at Feng Yan: "...Uh."
He slid on his knees, pouncing in front of Feng Yan: "Itâs all a misunderstanding, Brother Feng Yan, itâs all a misunderstanding, I admit my mistake, I just really wanted to have an attack skill, I honestly didnât realize... I absolutely didnât do it on purpose... I..."
Feng Yan: "..."
He took a few deep breaths: "Couldnât you choose another species?! Why specifically choose a turtle? Choosing a turtle, why specifically one with spiked shell? Even choosing spiked is fine, but why must the spikes look exactly like mine?"
Feng Yan was on the brink of collapse, that turtle was simply his long-lost brother from across species.
Zhuge Huang Jin: "Our familyâs elders chose it for many days, itâs the strongest and most suitable..."
Feng Yan: "...Whenever you use the combined skill, stay away from me, the farther the better!"
Zhuge Huang Jin felt guilty: "Okay, Iâll definitely stay far away, never letting you feel vexed by watching."
Feng Yan sighed, his expression changing several times, walking over to Xu Ran, softly requesting: "By the way, Teacher Xiao Ran, can you help me find another attack method? I..."
Xu Ran: "...Itâs quite difficult."
He patted Feng Yanâs shoulder: "A cultivator must have thick skin, face everything calmly. If you encounter enemies and act like this, the danger level is very high. It might even endanger teammates. Donât take it to heart, face it bravely."
After hearing Xu Ranâs words of encouragement, Feng Yan immediately became alert: "What you said makes a lot of sense. I need to overcome this mindset."
Xu Ran: "Yes, donât just be concerned about resemblance, even if it really is a turtle, overcome that timid mindset boldly."
With a sincere expression, Feng Yan benefited from Xu Ranâs brief advice: "I understand, thank you, Teacher Xiao Ran!"
After a round of persuading, Feng Yan accepted everything.
He no longer cared about the "cross-species long-lost brother" matter, but instead practiced daily with Zhuge Huang Jin... and his Turtle.
Human-form Turtle, Turtle-form Feng Yan, crashing intensely against the boulder, taking turns, never stopping.
The sight was incredible.
To the extent that whenever anyone saw one person and one turtle crash against the stone continuously, theyâd have to adjust their breathing and control their expressions.
So alike! Really, too alike!
Can there be such similar different species in the world?
Hard to hold in!!
...
Time passes unnoticed during cultivation.
In a blink of an eye, another hundred days have passed! Itâs been one hundred and sixty days since the nightmare Vengeful Mother was slain.
For Xu Ran, one hundred sixty days of progress can be described as a leap.
Firstly, the Qi Blood Value surged by 3360 points, how frightening is this increase? Adamâs Qi Blood Value at six years old was only 3500 points... yet in 160 days, Xu Ranâs increased by 3360 points, savor it, truly savor it!
Furthermore, Xu Ranâs spirit wildly increased by 800 points, reaching 832, only a little short of the 1000 point cap.
What does "Red Gold Achievement" mean in translation?
Red Gold Achievement means turning into a spiritual root bone even while lying down!
Of course, the most important progress is that Xu Ranâs magical skills have basically stepped into the Third Sequence!!
For instance, the "Gecko Wall-Climbing Skill" has reached the Third Sequence "Void Wall": when you find no foothold while suspended in the air, a thought occurs, and thereâs an air wall at your feet. At Great Success, chaotic void turbulence can also create walls.
The next sequence is "Wall of Space-Time": even in difficult to stabilize space-time, you can condense walls to stand on.
Xu Ran smiled contentedly.
"Currently, the highest damage is from Origami Spirit Binding and Divine Weapon Toss. In body techniques, thereâs Three Thousand Thunder Moves, Invisibility Skill, and Cloud Transition. Auxiliary abilities include the Heavy Pupil Treasure Skill for predicting opponent attacks, Demon Whisper causing fear in enemies, Nightfall Assassin with significantly increased nocturnal killing power, and the high-recovery Limb Regeneration... it basically equals being all-around."
"Just need to wait for eight to come."
"However, itâs been 100 days since the last clearing of talismans, yet the Talisman Vengeful God still hasnât made any new moves?"
"It shouldnât be..."
"Maybe the actions have become even more hidden..."
Xu Ran frowned slightly.
