But is it that simple?
"Want to crush my arm?" Xu Ran also sensed the intentions of the Water Attribute Puppet and grinned, "Aren’t you afraid of bursting yourself?"
With that said.
A surge of majestic Spiritual Qi burst forth from Xu Ran’s body, with streaks of golden light roaring out from within. Suddenly, golden runes appeared on his body’s surface, turning Xu Ran’s figure into a radiant Buddha.
The golden runes that surfaced on his body began to rotate and became illusory under the gaze of all the Soul Bodies. frёeωebɳovel.com
The dazzling golden light momentarily made all the Soul Bodies unable to open their eyes, unable to see Xu Ran’s appearance in the mirror, and unaware of what was happening, except for the three special Soul Bodies at the forefront.
Before long, the mystical golden runes on Xu Ran’s body transformed into golden whirlpools.
As soon as these whirlpools took shape, they began to spin crazily, releasing a terrifying suction force.
Instantly, all the energy within the Dueling Arena, consisting of five different colored substances, was drawn into them.
Even the Gold, Wood, Fire, and Earth Attribute Puppets watching from the outskirts had a thread of their respective color connected to Xu Ran’s whirlpool, though the transfer rate was exceedingly slow.
However, the energy connected to the background was not absorbed into the body.
The background energy not only wasn’t absorbed but instead cut off all energy supplies except for the Water Attribute Puppet, only providing enough to maintain the puppets’ normal operation without any extra energy for attack.
The reason why the energy supply to the Water Attribute Puppet wasn’t cut off is that the Nine-Layered Giant Tower is fundamentally a place for trials, designed primarily to screen out geniuses.
The whirlpool on Xu Ran’s body was created by himself, so absorbing the energy from the Water Attribute Puppet posed no problem.
Cutting off energy to the other four non-combat Attribute Puppets was also intended to prevent Xu Ran from absorbing an excessive amount of energy, and sealing the Innate Qi served the same purpose.
As Xu Ran’s primary target, the Water Attribute Puppet experienced a much stronger suction force compared to the other Attribute Puppets!
The bluish glow from its chest rapidly dimmed to almost invisibility in a short time, merging entirely into Xu Ran’s body.
Simultaneously, the Water Attribute Puppet’s body also dimmed, becoming turbid from its originally transparent state, resembling a pool of muddy water and releasing a foul stench.
The gelatinous and thick liquid enveloping Xu Ran’s arms lost its pressure, allowing Xu Ran to easily break free and drop with a splat to the ground.
As the blue light on the Water Attribute Puppet disappeared, the glow on Xu Ran’s body became even stronger, illuminating the entire Dueling Arena.
At this moment, the entire Dueling Arena looked like a splendid hall, with everything covered in a radiant sheen!
Xu Ran now felt cleared and refreshed, as if infinite power was available for him to use.
"Hah!"
Immediately, a low shout caused the golden light in the Dueling Arena to rapidly disperse, shrinking from a large glowing ball to a small dot that merged into Xu Ran’s body.
"Buzz!"
At the instant when all the golden light was absorbed, a golden aura rippled out from Xu Ran’s body, like waves.
"Thunk!"
"Thunk!"
"Thunk!"
"Thunk!"
"Thunk!"
Suddenly, five muffled sounds echoed in the Dueling Arena as the four Puppets watching from the outskirts were sent flying backward, crashing into the walls with a cloud of dust.
The Water Attribute Puppet, which had been entangled in combat with Xu Ran, was also thrown back, smashing into the wall and kicking up a cloud of dust!
At this time, Xu Ran’s bulging arms returned to normal, and the shining golden light and golden whirlpools from his body dissipated, leaving only a faint golden glow on the surface, which was the emitted Innate Qi.
...
At this moment.
In the Dueling Arena where the Soul Bodies were located.
The young female disciple, seeing the Water Attribute Puppet turn into a puddle of mud, exclaimed immediately.
"What... what is this?" Her body trembled violently, eyes full of disbelief.
Although she had not personally experienced this trial nor sensed the Water Attribute Puppet’s characteristics firsthand, from the elder brother’s words just now, she knew that he suffered greatly at its hands before finding its weakness and completely breaking it.
Not to mention anything else, just the corrosive nature of the entire Water Attribute Puppet alone was enough to make Xu Ran struggle.
In fact, Xu Ran was already feeling relieved, thinking he had overcome it when his arms were entangled by the Water Attribute Puppet.
After only ten breaths of time, the situation reversed instantly, the Water Attribute Puppet was utterly shattered, even affecting the other four Puppets, with no further energy supplement from the Five Elements background outside the arena!
The second senior brother saw this scene, suddenly stood up, clenched his fists, and exclaimed.
"This... this is the Great Success Innate Saint’s Sacred Body, Energy Conversion!"
Compared to the young female disciple, the second senior brother was obviously more composed, but his voice still revealed trembling.
"As a child, I heard the elders of the clan say that the Great Success Innate Saint’s Sacred Body could convert all energies of the same level into one’s own power!"
"When I was young, I hadn’t seen much, thought the elders were teasing kids, but now, I truly witnessed it today!"
Being a talented member of an ancient tribe, the second senior brother naturally knew many secrets unknown to others, and the energy conversion of the Great Success Innate Saint’s Sacred Body was one of them.
However, over countless years, this knowledge was nearly forgotten until Xu Ran’s actions brought it back to mind!
"Energy Conversion!"
The Soul Bodies within the Dueling Arena repeated the second senior brother’s words with stammering.
They had never heard of such an ability, even as prodigies of their own clans, holding countless ancient texts.
But they were only aware of the Innate Saint’s Sacred Body and didn’t know its true abilities, so their ignorance was natural!
The young female disciple was equally astonished upon hearing the second senior brother.
"Energy Conversion? Is there such an overwhelming ability in this world?" She swallowed hard, utterly incredulous.
It’s known that there are very few constitutions in the world that can stand alongside the Great Success Innate Saint’s Sacred Body, with the second senior brother’s Black Flame Constitution and the elder brother’s Extreme Ice Body being among them.
But now being told that the Great Success Innate Saint’s Sacred Body could convert energies of the same level into its own power!!
Doesn’t that mean as long as the Great Success Innate Saint’s Sacred Body battles any other constitution of the same level, it could absorb powers from other constitutions and convert them to its own, allowing Spiritual Qi to remain eternally inexhaustible!!
Referring to it as overwhelming because there is no other way to describe it!
"I also only heard about this from the elders in my clan, never thought there would come a day to witness it!"
After speaking, the second senior brother looked towards the elder brother and inquired.
"Elder brother, can this newcomer with such abilities pass this trial?"
The elder brother did not respond immediately to him, but continued to focus his icy gaze on Xu Ran through the mirror, his eyes gradually exuding a cold mist that drifted into the air. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
All the Soul Bodies watched as the cold mist dispersed into the air, which began to change.
Scenes started to appear anew, depicting the moments of Xu Ran undergoing the trial just now!
