"Not so, not so!"

The bald man’s gaze was indifferent as he looked at Xu Ran, and suddenly, a smile appeared.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ran was first stunned...

Then he began to inspect his own body.

Looking left, glancing right... up and down, left and right, front and back, Xu Ran thoroughly checked every part of his body.

Suddenly.

Xu Ran was shocked.

"Am I... only able to use my Fist Technique now?!!!"

At this moment, Xu Ran completely understood the situation.

Now, he could be said to be an ordinary person, not even matching the physical fitness of a regularly exercising adult.

Except for his arms.

Aside from Xu Ran’s arms, which could still normally use energy like before, no other part of his body had any gathered Spiritual Qi.

This was equivalent to completely confining the freely circulating Spiritual Qi within his body entirely to his arms.

He had never seen such a technique before.

"Didn’t you say you wanted to pass the trial in a short time? Are you scared now?"

The bald man, seeing Xu Ran’s astonished expression, mocked him a bit.

Just now, Xu Ran was extremely arrogant and confident, claiming he would completely pass the trial in a few days.

Now that he suddenly felt a drastic change in his body, his expression became like this, making the bald man feel it was laughable.

Xu Ran didn’t care at all about the bald man’s mockery and continued to carefully check his own body.

The main thing was, this method was just too bizarre. What level of cultivation would it take to achieve such a degree?

Moreover, was this the ability of the bald man, or the capability of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower?

Xu Ran didn’t know.

Subsequently, he shook his head, casting aside those messy thoughts from his mind, and fixed his gaze on the bald man.

"Come on!"

Xu Ran didn’t say much, simply uttering two words.

Immediately, a trace of appreciation flowed from the bald man’s eyes.

"Good!"

After speaking.

The bald man’s bronze-colored skin emitted a bronze glow, and like Xu Ran, apart from his arms, no other place emitted any Spiritual Qi.

"Now I am just like you. Defeat me with your Fist Technique, and you will pass the trial!"

The bald man stood barefoot in the center of the Dueling Arena, like a steadfast stake, exuding an oppressive aura that made people unable to breathe.

"Phew!"

With most of the Spiritual Qi sealed, Xu Ran, facing this suddenly increased pressure, let out a long breath, and only then did his body feel a bit more relaxed.

"The energy must sink to the Yongquan Acupoint!!"

As soon as Xu Ran took a breath, the bald man’s voice suddenly rang in his ear.

Following the voice, Xu Ran looked over, only to see the bald man’s body still standing straight in place, but those huge hands began to attack Xu Ran.

In Xu Ran’s eyes, this punch was extremely slow, yet his own body moved even slower.

This feeling was like watching an approaching sword blade appearing in your sight, your eyes saw the sword blade, but the body couldn’t move or evade.

This sensation was incredibly torturous until the bald man’s fists didn’t completely fall upon Xu Ran.

In just an instant, Xu Ran’s back was drenched in cold sweat, dripping onto the ground, leaving patches of sweatstains on the floor.

"The energy must sink to the Yongquan Acupoint!"

The bald man’s voice appeared again in Xu Ran’s ear.

Immediately, all of Xu Ran’s chaotic thoughts were cast aside.

"The energy must sink to the Yongquan Acupoint!"

This sentence echoed a second time in his heart.

In any case, he could clearly see in his vision that the bald man’s fists had not yet landed on his body, so there was still time to think.

At once.

Xu Ran closed his eyes, and in his mind, he recalled the human body diagram placed in the Xu Family courtyard earlier.

Though the Great Wilderness Border Village didn’t have a specialized cultivation system, as a Hunter, he did have a diagram of human acupoints.

Previously, Xu Ran had never been interested in this.

Primarily because he had been focusing on laying a good foundation, using the Innate Qi to nourish the body and Sea of Spirit.

Moreover, at that time in the Great Wilderness Border Village, merely cultivating a single Immortal Sword with the Immortal Sword Skill had already made him invincible, and he never considered these issues.

But now.

Other than his two fists, his entire torso was completely sealed, and the Innate Qi and Power of Annihilation within his body were also sealed and couldn’t be mobilized.

But now, he had to take it seriously.

In a flash, Xu Ran found the location of the Yongquan Acupoint.

"Sink the energy!"

Xu Ran closed his eyes tightly, concentrating all his efforts to control the Spiritual Qi moving within his arms, sinking it into the Yongquan Acupoint.

This process went very smoothly, without a hint of obstruction.

As a thread of Spiritual Qi entered the Yongquan Acupoint, it seemed to break a taboo, and all the Spiritual Qi within his arms rushed headlong into the Yongquan Acupoint.

"Bang!"

Instantly.

A visible golden mist evaporated from Xu Ran’s body surface, hovering above him.

These were all the Spiritual Qi evaporated from his body.

"Oh?!"

Seeing the change happening in Xu Ran’s body, the bald man was first surprised.

"Found the Yongquan Acupoint so quickly, and even used Spiritual Qi to impact the acupoint, truly worthy of a Great Success Innate Saint’s Sacred Body!"

His tone held no reservation in his words of praise.

He used language to remind Xu Ran that this was what he was supposed to do, and this was also the meaning of the existence of this trial.
