But for her, even if she doesn’t know, there’s still an omniscient senior brother who can provide her answers.

This time, she once again looked towards her senior brother.

"Senior brother, do you know?"

However, the senior brother’s reaction was unexpected to the junior sister.

He shook his head calmly and said, "I don’t know!"

The three words "I don’t know" echoed in the hearts of the junior sister and the second senior brother.

What exactly has happened to this world?

Previously, in everyone’s mind, the senior brother was an omniscient existence.

But today, ever since Xu Ran began his trial, there are quite a few things that the senior brother doesn’t know.

After a moment of silence, the senior brother continued.

"It’s not that I completely don’t know. I’ve seen two characters in an ancient book in the study room, just two, nothing else documented!"

The ancient books in the Nine-story Giant Tower Study room encompass everything that has ever happened in the Origin Realm, yet the phrase Golden Body is exclusively recorded in a single ancient book, and it consists of just two words, with no additional information.

For a moment.

The three did not further interact, their eyes all fixed on the bald man, hoping to hear some secrets from him.

The bald man ignored the gazes of the three and stared at Xu Ran, his face full of reminiscence.

"Golden Body manifests only after the {Innate Saint’s Sacred Body} is cultivated to the Great Success realm!"

"Only by achieving this rigid prerequisite can one train for the Golden Body!"

There’s only one way to cultivate the {Innate Saint’s Sacred Body} to the Golden Body realm, and that is through constantly infusing terrifying energy to temper every part of the bones.

In the Origin Realm, there’s only one energy that fulfills this requirement, which is the Innate Qi!

"To achieve the Golden Body, one must tirelessly use Innate Qi to forge the body; only then can the {Innate Saint’s Sacred Body}, having reached Great Success, successfully cultivate the Golden Body!"

Even while stating these requirements, the bald man’s tone was filled with incredulity.

"Since the birth of the Origin Realm, only one person has ever reached this level, the very first to achieve {Innate Saint’s Sacred Body} at Great Success, and it was only under a set of incredibly favorable conditions."

"You..." the bald man stared at Xu Ran, "In such meager times, how did you accomplish this?"

This was already the second time the bald man posed this question.

Xu Ran naturally didn’t disclose it.

He could now endlessly produce Innate Qi within his body because he captured a fleeting moment of Innate Qi upon his birth, which allowed him to become who he is now. Otherwise, no matter his constitution, it would have been futile.

And enabling him to achieve this is the very system that has accompanied him all along.

He certainly can’t reveal that he possesses a system, can he?!

Even if he said it, who would believe him?!

So he simply chose not to say anything, standing quietly in place, clenching his fist, as Spiritual Qi constantly surged from the Yongquan Acupoint to his fist, always paying attention to the bald man’s actions.

This trial aimed for him to master the Fist Technique, and he naturally wouldn’t forget this aspect.

The bald man saw that Xu Ran didn’t answer his question and chuckled.

"Each generation has its own blessings, if you don’t want to speak, then don’t! Anyway, I’m already a dead man, knowing too much is useless!"

"But..."

As soon as these two words were uttered, the Spiritual Qi on the bald man’s fists burst out, gathering on his fists and converging into a rotating hurricane, clearly indicating that Xu Ran was his sole target.

"Hu!"

Seeing this, Xu Ran merely exhaled deeply, already tightly clenched fists gripping even harder.

The trial’s main rhythm was still dominated by the bald man, and naturally, the attack was initiated by him.

"Bang!"

In the blink of an eye, the bald man disappeared from where he stood, followed by the sound of dozens of punches landing squarely.

Looking towards the sound, at the place where Xu Ran originally stood, there was now another person, of course, it was the bald man.

The bald man, tireless, continued battering Xu Ran with his fists, each punch making contact with Xu Ran’s body.

Though Xu Ran was at a disadvantage, having just used Spiritual Qi to assail the Yongquan Acupoint, he seemed to possess endless strength, with his small fists constantly resisting the bald man’s massive punches.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"..."

Within just a breath, the two exchanged over a hundred punches.

"Haha, not bad, there’s progress!"

During this process, the bald man loudly shouted as if Xu Ran’s attacks meant nothing to him!

Although.

The two sides seemed evenly matched at this moment, yet in reality, Xu Ran’s feet were already starting to sink.

Gazing downward from his feet, at the place where Xu Ran originally stood on solid ground, there was now a vast pit several dozen meters wide, with spiderweb-like cracks all around it.

In contrast, the ground on the bald man’s side showed no sign of cracking.

This proved that the bald man’s control over power surpassed Xu Ran by countless levels.

A keen observer like Xu Ran quickly identified the difference between where he stood and where the bald man stood.

"At the brink of life and death, you dare to be distracted?"

The bald man immediately noticed Xu Ran’s gaze, bellowed angrily, and his fists’ speed increased as if hundreds of fists were assailing Xu Ran.

"Hu!"

Already countless times, the bald man’s fists skimmed past Xu Ran’s cheeks, producing a whooshing wind sound.

But this time, the bald man’s technique changed.

He swiftly turned, his figure flying past Xu Ran, arriving behind him in an instant.

Xu Ran didn’t see his actions or figure, only hearing the sharp sound of air being torn, with the half-naked bald man whipping up layers of airflow, drawing transparent ripples in the air.

Each ripple swirled beside Xu Ran.

When the bald man’s gigantic palm brushed past Xu Ran’s body, there was a melodic resonance deep within the bones, waking meridians like parched wells during a drought struck by refreshing rain, gurgling with warm currents.

"You have strength but don’t know how to use it, it’s such a waste!"

Feeling the bald man’s massive palm brush past his body, he also noticed his blood surging dramatically inside.

The severe tremor within made his body uncontrollably stagger backward.

By now, the bald man also ceased his motions.

"That should be about enough now!"

He muttered softly, then looked at Xu Ran again.

"Relax your shoulders!"

The bald man’s voice turned suddenly calm, mixed with a hint of kindly intent, like an elder earnestly instructing a junior.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ran reflexively complied with the voice he heard just now.

Instantly, his previously tensed body began to relax.

"At this moment, you are a leaf slowly descending, freely drifting with the breeze!"

Despite Xu Ran’s lack of control over his body and knowledge of various skills and strategies, it was because he was never taught.

One cannot master something without guidance, not even a genius.

However, once taught, a different spectacle unfolds.

"Hu!"

Xu Ran took a deep breath, following the bald man’s voice, relaxing all his muscles; it took merely an instant, this thought emerging in Xu Ran’s mind, causing his formerly taut body to instantly relax.

"Strike!"

After a momentary relaxation, the bald man’s voice reached his ear again.

The sudden outcry made Xu Ran’s body instantly tense, with his small arms exploding with robust muscles, throwing a powerful punch forward.

In an instant.

A hefty hand drew a golden arc through the air.

And on this arc, moreover, only on this arc, a series of sonic booms erupted!
