Watch Xu Ran disappear out of sight.

He Sifang turned to pat Li Songlin on the shoulder, "Your character is indeed commendable, even such a big figure has come to look after you. It shows you are worth entrusting with significant tasks. Rest assured, the cleansing team will provide you with more resources."

"Do not slack off, strive to break through to the Hill Realm as soon as possible."

Li Songlin: "Allocating resources... is this appropriate?"

He Sifang said sternly, "What's inappropriate? I've always been observing the personnel in the team; you passed the assessment just yesterday. This is just the official notification."

Li Songlin stood at attention: "Understood, officer! I will work twice as hard!"

...

The sun was at its peak.

Xu Ran had already arrived outside the city. In the sparsely populated wilderness, Xu Ran sped forward swiftly.

Three Thousand Thunder Moves progress +1...

Three Thousand Thunder Moves progress +1...

Ye Ping was amazed: "Hmm? The speed is actually comparable to a Body Technique? Kid, how much are you hiding?"

"Is the Comprehension Root Bone really omnipotent?"

Ye Ping found Xu Ran more and more unfathomable. As he watched Xu Ran swiftly move over a hundred meters, he used his Body Technique to quickly catch up.

"Xiao Ran, what are you doing in the wild?"

"Catching a few Crystal Beasts to try out some tricks."

Ye Ping didn't understand at all: "Try out some tricks?"

"Right. Hunt them down, then try out some tricks."

Xu Ran was invisible in the depths of the forest, quietly approaching the Crystal Beast, focusing his eyes, casually flicking his arm, and the Origami Flying Knife shot out.

The sound of breaking wind was suddenly sharp in the dense forest.

The Crystal Beast, which had just entered the Hill Realm, suddenly raised its head. Its limbs bent, wanting to spring up to avoid the crisis, but a thin blade enlarged like lightning in its pupils.

"Puff!"

Its throat was slit open, blood spurted into the sky.

The Hill Realm Crystal Beast let out a miserable cry, lying on the ground twitching, its limbs with pale blue bone spurs digging out clumps of moss and dirt.

Seeing this clean and swift scene.

Ye Ping was greatly shocked: "Something's off! This is a six-year-old?!"

Even for a super genius with a Golden Root Bone, before the age of eight, he would just be a child with superpowers. There's no way he could throw a Flying Knife over four hundred meters to kill a Hill Realm Crystal Beast!

Take Zhu Yuheng, for example. She can create an area to slow the actions of Stele Realm experts. But the Hill Realm? Sorry, she can't slow it down.

The gap is too terrifying.

No matter how strong the Root Bone is, it can only be powerless.

But what was Xu Ran doing? Slitting the throat in one swipe?

A six-year-old with over 3000 points of Qi Blood Value actually slashed the throat of a Hill Realm Crystal Beast with one knife? The opponent was roughly estimated to have a Qi Blood Value of 15000 points!

Ridiculous!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ye Ping would never have believed it, that a human cub under the age of eight could do such a contrary-to-reason thing.

Where were the shackles of the Cosmos rules?

Where did they go?

Newton couldn't govern the New Era after it came, so can't the Cosmos rules either?

Ye Ping stared blankly at the boy's back.

The boy was calm, standing before the Crystal Beast's corpse.

'Spiritual Capture!'

Xu Ran infused the spirit of the Hill Realm Crystal Beast into the Origami Flying Knife; pale blue light merged into the knife's blade.

"Hardness and sharpness have been significantly enhanced. Moreover, after injury, it can absorb energy to recover. Additionally, while throwing an attack, it can control direction to lock onto the enemy?!"

Xu Ran was initially surprised, then delighted.

No wonder it's the Third Sequence's Origami Spirit Binding... the turn-and-lock attack is too annoying!

'I must capture enough!'

Xu Ran smiled brightly, flitting through the forest like an eagle, and after six minutes, a bird-shaped Hill Realm Crystal Beast had fallen beneath the Flying Knife, reduced to the spirit of an Origami Bat.

"Flexibility increased by thirty percent, patrol range also improved. Previously, it could only hover within five hundred meters around me, now it has increased to a thousand meters. It also has an automatic alarm function, issuing alerts upon encountering suspicious entities!"

Wonderful, amazing, isn't it?

Then I'm going to activate self-discipline mode!

Xu Ran smiled slightly, flickering through the forest, slashing throats with a single swipe whenever encountering a Crystal Beast.

Spiritual Capture +1...

Spiritual Capture +1...

Spiritual Capture +1...

Time passed quickly, and by the time all fifty main Origami had completed Spiritual Capture, Xu Ran had slaughtered through a forest.

"A Crystal Beast soul spirit with 40000 Qi Blood Points, offering it to my strongest Knife Mantis, is truly invincible?"

Xu Ran stopped his self-discipline.

He was pleasantly surprised, feeling the Knife Mantis.

The Knife Mantis, which once accompanied him in killing eight Ghost Wraiths and eradicating the Ghost Wraiths beneath the lake, skyrocketed in strength after obtaining a soul spirit, now capable of hunting Crystal Beasts and ghostly entities with a Qi Blood Value of up to 80000 points!

"It's indeed a bit invincible. From now on, I'll call you Knife Mantis One."

Xu Ran smiled softly.

Today's self-discipline could be described as exhilarating, with significant gains!

Conservatively estimating, combat power has increased by more than ten times.

"It's been a long time since I've felt so comfortable."

Xu Ran leaned against the tree trunk, taking a short rest.

Ye Ping: "Xiao Ran, what are you doing exactly? I can't understand at all? After killing those Crystal Beasts, it seems like you captured their spiritual powers..."

Xu Ran: "It's a means of comprehension. Need me to explain?"

Ye Ping shook his head: "Another long essay, right? Then forget it."

Xu Ran shrugged: "So Uncle Ye, you can't see the soul?"

Uncle Ye's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "I can feel a mass of spiritual power, but it's just a vague energy body. Once you put it into the origami, the spiritual energy body dissipates..."

"A vague energy body? You can't see the facial features or limbs of the soul?"

Uncle Ye's hairs suddenly stood on end: "You can't possibly see the facial features and limbs of the spiritual energy body, right? Don't scare me! The latest research results suggest that perhaps only by becoming a god can one clearly see the soul body, its facial features."

Xu Ran muttered slightly, casually making it up: "I can't see it."
