The exquisite white-haired girl slowly opened her blue eyes and gave a gentle smile.

Strands of light symbolizing vitality streamed from her body, flowing backward through the time-space tunnel!

They swept over all the burnt white-haired little girls!

The white-haired little girls quickly returned to normal.

Finally... that light symbolizing vitality traversed the boundless expanse of time and space, like a drop of ink falling into clear water, landing on Zhu Yuheng's heart...

The apocalypse flame fiercely burned, consuming everything of Zhu Yuheng, yet in the raging flames, a new body was born from the fire...

Her skin was crystal-clear, delicate like a newborn baby.

Her physical strength climbed higher, reaching the level where she could withstand an attack of 20,000 Qi Blood bare-handed!

This is strong.

Very strong.

Although not as strong as Xu Ran, it meant she too had stepped onto a path of physical invincibility, and it also meant she could unlock Tier Two and Third Stage abilities in the future.

However.

The annoying thing was—the pitch-black spherical lightning that lingered hauntingly.

Yet another sphere filled with a destructive aura appeared out of nowhere, striking toward Xu Ran's face.

"Hmph."

Xu Ran's eyes narrowed slightly, throwing the Red Gold Treasure Pearl at the pitch-black lightning, which didn't even have time to unleash its terror before being completely devoured.

"Heh. Controlled."

Xu Ran turned back with a warm smile.

He caught the Red Gold Treasure Pearl effortlessly.

A real man never looks back at an explosion.

But...

Xu Ran's suave actions subtly froze, his eyelids twitching violently...

What did he see?

He saw the time-space tunnel...

He saw at the end of the time-space tunnel, a perfect girl with delicate yet fruitful branches...

"Uh..."

This unexpected sight left Xu Ran in astonishment.

"Is that the time-space of the future? Why can I see it?"

He turned to observe the full-bodied auntie and Tiger Girl.

They didn't appear to have seen the time-space of the future.

"Am I the only one who saw it again? Why didn't I see it before, but I'm seeing it now? Could it be because... who knows."

"However, that last girl, is she the future Zhu Yuheng? And she's not wearing clothes..."

Xu Ran quickly glanced again, truly beautiful, as exquisite as a work of art.

The perfect girl was momentarily lost, with blue eyes looking toward the end of the time-space tunnel at Xu Ran, sensing his gaze, her cheeks flushed bright red.

The next moment.

The time-space tunnel disappeared instantly.

Zhu Yuheng opened her eyes gently, casting a soft glance at Xu Ran, eyes filled with the joy of success and implicit gratitude.

She seemed unaware.

That her future self had been seen by Xu Ran.

And Tiger Girl naturally didn't notice this little episode either.

She put away the golden little tower, walked over and carefully touched Zhu Yuheng's arm, frowning slightly, appearing deep in thought: "Hmm... succeeded, very impressive indeed."

Zhu Yuheng gave a charming smile: "Yes, succeeded..."

"Thank you..."

Xu Ran waved dismissively: "No need to thank me. There are still 310 days until the national Godslaying Squad selection competition, strive to increase your Qi Blood Value. If you practice the Qi Blood Cultivation Method I created, you can raise your Qi Blood Value by 24,000 points during this period. This means you can refine three more drops of apocalypse flame!"

"When your physical strength can withstand an attack of 50,000 Qi Blood bare-handed, you'll definitely earn a ranking."

Zhu Yuheng nodded: "Alright..."

Beside them.

Tiger Girl was astonished: "Barehand catching a 50,000 Qi Blood attack? Then by that time... I'll only have around 30,000 Qi Blood value? My attacks will be caught barehanded by you?"

Xu Ran shook his head: "A 50,000 Qi Blood attack doesn't include Heaven-Gifted Divine Techniques that exceed that power. If your golden little tower were to smash down, chances are it wouldn't be caught."

Tiger Girl was puzzled: "Then why could Brother Xu Ran catch it just now?"

Xu Ran: "Because I'm stronger."

Tiger Girl was speechless.

She wanted to say something but her mind got tangled up.

She could only stare blankly at Xu Ran, then look at Zhu Yuheng: "Hehe, Sister Yuheng got stronger. Let's go, let's go, to the Beast Fighting Arena. Test your mettle."

With that.

Tiger Girl dragged Zhu Yuheng out of the Cultivation Room.

Outside the Cultivation Room.

The director was pacing back and forth, seeing Zhu Yuheng safe and sound, not even her clothes damaged, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Succeeded, right?"

Tiger Girl: "Succeeded! Absorbed two drops of apocalypse flame! Now can catch attacks of strong people with 20,000 Qi Blood Value bare-handed!"

The director was stunned: "So strong? Then... how about your Tier Two abilities?"

Xu Ran: "Not yet unlocked, probably when we can catch an attack of 100,000 Qi Blood bare-handed, we can unlock it."

The director pondered: "So does that mean absorbing ten drops? Is the flame not enough?"

Xu Ran shook his head: "No, Zhu Yuheng needs her Qi Blood Value to reach 100,000 points before she can use the flames, just wait patiently, it's adequate for now."

The director exhaled deeply, looking at Xu Ran with an astonished gaze: "Amazing, truly a Miracle Root Bone, such a phenomenon!"

"By the way, how many drops of apocalypse flame have you used?"

Xu Ran gave a mysterious smile: "Can't say."

The director's expression froze: "Reveal a little! Just a little! I won't tell anyone!"

Xu Ran glanced askance at the director: "If I reveal it, will you tell me your earth-shattering secret from last time in advance? How about we make it a trade?"

The director thought for a moment: "No."

Xu Ran spread his hands: "Then there's nothing I can do. It's you who doesn't want to make the trade."

The director hesitated.

Watching the three head towards the Beast Fighting Arena.

"They're truly becoming more terrifying. Simply monstrous! If not for the danger of the apocalypse flame, they might forge a new era, but even so, it holds epoch-making significance."

"From now on, there will be two cultivators, physically invincible!"

The director exhaled deeply, having taught for so many years, how could he not know the formidable nature of Xu Ran's initiative?

"Truly a Miracle Root Bone... hmm... 310 days from now in the national Godslaying Squad selection competition, there will certainly be a bit of shock in Jing Province..."

The director walked away with a smile, hands behind his back.

After walking a long distance.

He suddenly stopped: "What was I going to do? Ah, look at my memory! I can't even remember what I was going to do. Truly lost in pride."

...

Elsewhere.

In the Beast Fighting Arena.

Zhu Yuheng and Tiger Girl had already started their matches.

This time, Zhu Yuheng was reborn.

She sparred with Tiger Girl for half an hour.

The tremendous boost in physical strength allowed her to seamlessly integrate all the combat skills she had secretly honed before.

Without using the golden little tower, Tiger Girl truly had no way to suppress her.

Li Qinghong stood in the stands, watching the fight, unable to resist feeling a mix of shock and awe.

She glanced at Xu Ran, bewildered: "Your apocalypse flame is too rebellious, actually raising Zhu Yuheng's physical strength to such a level!"

Xu Ran remained calm: "It's just alright. Actually, it's also supposed to be the destiny for Zhu Yuheng, thanks to her Heaven-Gifted Passive, otherwise I wouldn't dare let her use the apocalypse flame."

Li Qinghong nodded, admiringly patting Xu Ran on the shoulder: "Perhaps it's only when human physical strength increases that we can truly defeat Exotic Star monsters, defeat the Resentful God! You're paving a new path—a Miracle Root Bone!"

Xu Ran gave a warm smile, just about to say something, when he saw a familiar figure.

He turned to see Ye Ping walking towards them, Uncle Ye's mouth curled with a smile.

"Uncle Ye, judging by your expression, did you get some important information?"

Ye Ping: "Yes, it seems we've discovered traces of the Talisman Vengeful God's whereabouts!"

Xu Ran's eyes were bright and shining: "Really? Let me see!"
