Zhuangzhuang’s mom began to boast about Xu Ran’s infancy, drawing envious gazes—who wouldn’t envy such close ties with the Demigod Kindergarten’s super genius?
More than envy, it’s downright jealousy!
In response.
Xu Ran shook his head lightly and started the next round of treatment.
"Thank you, little handsome guy. You’re really amazing!"
"No need for thanks. Just a small effort."
Over an hour later, Xu Ran ended his struggle.
[Fear Exorcism progress: 100/10000 points...]
Today’s progress is maxed out!
So comfortable!
Xu Ran stretched lazily.
Behind him, the principal watched the little boy repeatedly healing others, feeling quite emotional—he knew he hadn’t judged wrong!
In terms of both character and ability, he’s the perfect successor. With his Comprehension Root Bone, Xu Ran can surely teach effectively, cultivating batch after batch of unbeatable super geniuses!
Definitely a naturally ordained supreme teacher!
The principal’s eyes burned with flames of admiration.
"So what reward should I choose then? It must be the best I can offer, and most suitable for that young guy..."
The principal frowned, somewhat indecisive...
...
Meanwhile.
The spiritual cultivators in the city were over thirty times busier than Xu Ran; they were dealing with three hundred thousand children, and even if one spell could cover hundreds, they still needed to cast spells 3,000 times, with each practitioner casting spells around 300 times.
And they had to race against time to first save the children aged one year and below, which placed a heavy burden on them.
Luckily, the city provided ample resources to help them relieve fatigue.
Over two hours later.
Ten high-tier spiritual cultivators lay exhausted on the ground, immediately falling asleep.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Quickly move them to the beds and cover them with blankets."
Jing City’s third-in-command, He Sifang, rushed over to personally move the spiritual cultivators.
A spiritual cultivator with graying temples opened his eyes: "Has the investigation corps located the source of the nightmares?"
He Sifang’s expression was grave: "No."
"But we’ve been searching inch by inch in the city’s sewers. There aren’t many places to hide; under the city is the best blind spot."
"We must find it quickly; we can’t let this nightmare happen a second time!"
He Sifang: "..."
He couldn’t provide a positive response because they hadn’t even figured out what the nightmare truly was yet, only clearing ghostly aura everywhere.
However.
Lu Ya suddenly appeared before the crowd: "Good news, I got some clues from the Demigod Kindergarten!"
He Sifang looked curious: "Hm? I only heard that the Demigod Kindergarten has a super genius, only five years old, who can dispel nightmare fears. Is there really such a monstrous genius?"
Lu Ya: "There really is. I witnessed the whole process myself. He spoke ordinary ’spells’, calming all the children in the kindergarten!"
He Sifang: "Incredible!"
Lu Ya: "Not only that, there’s another child in Demigod Kindergarten who bore the fear brought by the nightmare and painted the Dream Realm. Look!"
She took out a photo, handing Xu Ran’s drawing to He Sifang.
He Sifang was shocked: "It’s...such a grotesque monster?!"
"Tens of thousands of infants entwined together? How disgusting!"
He Sifang felt a surge of rage, wanting to drag this cursed thing out and smash it with punches!
"I’ll send this information to Yuan Yan right away; his investigation corps definitely needs it."
Lu Ya: "Remember, there’s also a crucial phrase. The Nightmare Vengeful Mother kept chanting in the dream—’My children, where are you? My children, where are you?’ I think this phrase might also be a clue."
He Sifang nodded, transmitting the clue to Yuan Yan, the investigation corps’ leader!
At this moment.
It’s already six o’clock in the morning.
At the foot of the Demigod Kindergarten mountain, the principal, Li Qinghong, Xu Ran, and his mom were returning to their residence together.
On the way, the principal pondered with his hands behind him, suddenly looking up at Xu Ran: "Little Ran, your comprehension is so high, can you deduce the hideout of the Nightmare Vengeful Mother from Xu Ran’s clues?"
Xu Ran: "..."
