"What is that?"

Everyone stared in shock at Xiao Ran, who was flying away on a glider, their mouths wide open!

After a while, Gu Renyu said, "It seems... it seems to be a big kite!"

Xiaoyuer said irritably, "Anyone can see it's a big kite, but none of us can figure out how that scoundrel could carry such a huge kite!"

Nangong Liu said, "How can you curse your uncle like that!"

The descendants of noble families place great importance on family hierarchy!

Xiaoyuer, furious, said, "Cursing him as a scoundrel is still too light. He knows everything but keeps it all to himself!"

At this moment, Hua Wuxie also said, "This person's actions are truly unfathomable!"

Then he bowed to Xiaoyuer, "So you are Jiang Xiaoyu. I am Hua Wuxie, nice to meet you, Brother Jiang."

Xiaoyuer rolled his eyes, "How disgusting, you clearly want to kill me, yet you pretend to be a gentleman from a prestigious school!"

"Killing you and how I treat you are two different things! But don't worry, since I promised that Xiao Ran, I will definitely wait until a year later to kill you!"

Faced with such an answer, the usually quick-witted Xiaoyuer was speechless.

This was the first meeting of the two prodigies, and thus began the passionate and intense first half of their lives!

Daoist Shenxi sighed, "There are such extraordinary people in the world. Brother Wang, you call him Master Xiao?"

"Is he your master?"

Wang Yizhua's face turned red, and he glanced at Xiaoyuer and the others, "I don't have that good fortune, but I have listened to Master Xiao's teachings! They are the true disciples of Xiao Ran!"

"Listening to his teachings, what does that mean?"

"That's a long story!"

...

After leaving Xiaoyuer and the others, Xiao Ran decided to find the Five Absolute Palaces on his own.

The Five Absolute Palaces were built by the genius Ouyang Ting several decades ago. They contained the Five Absolute Manuals compiled by the highest martial artists of the time, as well as countless treasures, weapons, and poisons!

The palace was located under Mount Emei and was occupied by one of the Ten Evils, Xiao Mimi, known as "Deadly Beauty." However, she had never found the core of the palace. Later, Xiaoyuer and Jiang Yulang, natural enemies, accidentally discovered the core of the palace and obtained the Five Absolute Manuals!

The palace was extremely hidden, but Xiao Ran was confident he could find it. After all, Xiao Mimi, who loved luxury, had a large harem of male consorts, and so many people needed food and daily necessities.

So even if Xiao Ran couldn't find the palace immediately, he could find the people who went out to buy supplies!

As he got closer to the ground, Xiao Ran put the glider into his storage space and landed with a leap!

He then activated his Phoenix Eye and searched the valley thoroughly, finding a place with the most human activity and discovering several buried bodies!

After confirming the general location, he found a tall tree with the best view and hid in it!

After advancing to the Qi Practitioner stage, Xiao Ran's storage space had expanded to ten cubic meters. He had brought all kinds of small tools, high-energy food, water, and pills!

If he rationed his food and water, they would last him three to five months!

Xiao Ran opened his attribute panel, but he was disappointed.

He had defeated Hua Wuxie and many opponents in the Valley of Evils, but his穿越点 (transmigration points) had not increased at all!

"Perhaps I can only get transmigration points by defeating opponents in the Ancient Continent?

It seems that if I don't challenge people after returning, I will need to participate in some kind of competition.

And the fact that transmigration points reset every time I leave the martial arts world is really unfair. Even mobile data plans don't reset anymore..."

After thinking about his plans, Xiao Ran decided to start practicing.

He was now practicing the Bride's Cloak Skill. The Bride's Cloak Skill was extremely powerful, and the true qi it generated was too fierce for martial artists in the martial arts world to control or endure!

But Xiao Ran's control over true qi far exceeded that of martial artists in the martial arts world, so the first problem was not an issue!

After strengthening his main acupoints, their endurance greatly increased, solving the second problem!

He didn't need to destroy and rebuild his true qi like Yan Nantian; he could directly master the Bride's Cloak Skill.

With the Yuan Qi Pills to replenish his energy and the Chaos Copper Cauldron to refine his true qi, it only took him one or two months to master the Bride's Cloak Skill!

Just from this, one could roughly infer how powerful the martial arts on the Ancient Continent were. The Lan brothers might not be a good reference, as they only practiced second-rate internal skills!

Seeing the different types of true qi coexisting peacefully in his dantian,

Xiao Ran suddenly had an idea: "The purer the true qi, the better, but it doesn't mean that fewer types of true qi are always better!

I've heard that the Five Elements Sect's main skill, the Great Five Elements Primordial Skill, involves practicing multiple types of true qi!

If different types of true qi can be made to work together without conflict, they can create many variations...

It would be difficult for me to create such a skill, but it would be easier with a reference!

Next time, I must return to the world of Smiling, Proud Wanderer and ask the old monk Fangzheng for the Yi Jin Jing..."

Xiao Ran pondered his future path, made a simple plan, and began practicing the Bride's Cloak Skill.

Three days later, Xiao Ran suddenly sensed something and saw a hole open in a nearby old tree. A woman in a light green dress with a mountain tea flower in her hair stepped out!

The woman walked with a graceful and light gait, as if a breeze could blow her away!

Her beautiful eyes exuded a thousand charms!

Needless to say, this woman was Xiao Mimi, one of the Ten Evils, known as "Deadly Beauty"!

This woman, who looked like a neighbor's wife but exuded endless charm, was a typical绿茶婊 (green tea b*tch) and a schemer.

At least 800 young men had died at her hands, which was enough to show how terrifying she was!

So Xiao Ran didn't intend to give her any chance!

Xiao Ran pounced from the tree like a fierce bird, his palms bringing a fierce wind, using the Bride's Cloak Skill to drive the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, even more powerful than when used by Hong Qigong!

He struck with the move "Flying Dragon in the Sky" at Xiao Mimi's head!

Xiao Mimi, who had been in the martial world for so many years, had killed many people and still thrived, was extremely cautious.

But Xiao Ran's attack was straightforward and powerful, and no matter what Xiao Mimi did, she had to take his palm first!

She lifted her face, and even in such a disadvantageous position, she still had a look of annoyance, as if she was upset that Xiao Ran had suddenly attacked her with such a deadly move, showing no mercy!

Even Xiao Ran felt a bit soft-hearted, and the momentum of his palm weakened slightly.

Xiao Mimi seized this opportunity, raising her hand, which seemed soft and weak, to meet Xiao Ran's palm!

This was actually the secret skill of Wudang, the Taiji Soft Hands, a technique that specialized in using softness to overcome hardness!

She used it so skillfully that even the Wudang Sect's leader would have to give a thumbs up!

Not to mention, her fingertips were laced with several deadly poison needles!

But Xiao Ran's Crystal Silk Gloves were not afraid of the poison needles!

Boom...

When their palms met, Xiao Mimi felt a powerful force surge through her, and she heard the crisp sound of her bones breaking, not knowing how many had shattered!

The fierce true qi flowed into her body, scattering her own true qi, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood!

Her hands were pushed aside by Xiao Ran's palm, leaving her defenseless.

Xiao Ran changed his palm to a finger and used the One Yang Finger, instantly striking dozens of major acupoints on Xiao Mimi's chest!

Xiao Mimi's body went limp and she fell to the ground.

She was in such pain that cold sweat poured down her face, but her expressive eyes looked at Xiao Ran with a tender gaze, as if looking at a husband who had just committed domestic violence, and said, "My lord, why are you so heartless to use such a deadly move on me?!"

But Xiao Ran knew what kind of person this woman was. He didn't say a word, picked her up by the waist, and said, "We'll go in together. If there are any traps or mechanisms, remember to remind me.

And don't say a single unnecessary word. One word, and I'll break one of your bones.

Two words, and I'll cripple your martial arts.

Three words, and you die!"
