Huang Liang, Zhao Ying, and Gao Yuan were filled with curiosity in their hearts.
Principal: "..."
Ye Ping: "..."
"Alright, let’s wait for them then."
So five minutes later, Huang Liang, Zhao Ying, and Gao Yuan descended from the sky and landed in front of everyone.
"Brother Ping, which genius defeated the Nightmare Vengeful Mother? Let us witness their heroic presence!"
The principal, mom, Ye Ping, Tiger Girl’s mom, Yu Heng’s mom... Tiger Girl, Zhu Yuheng, and everyone else all turned their gazes towards Xu Ran.
Following everyone’s line of sight, they looked at Xu Ran.
Zhao Ying, filled with a thirst for knowledge, asked, "Comprehension Root Bone? Can you become invisible?"
Gao Yuan: "Can you tell us how you defeated the Nightmare Vengeful Mother? Human cultivators have too few means to counter ghostly creatures. Maybe we can learn some techniques from you."
Learn techniques from me?
Xu Ran shook his head: "How should I put it? My method can’t be replicated. First, I can become invisible, allowing me to silently infiltrate beside the Nightmare Vengeful Mother."
As he spoke, Xu Ran’s figure shimmered and became transparent.
Opposite them, Tiger Girl watched wide-eyed, her bright eyes sparkling with a strange light, and she wiped her mouth in longing.
"I have to learn this! I have to learn this!"
She silently clenched her fists in determination.
Not far away, Huang Liang, Zhao Ying, and Gao Yuan exclaimed: "Damn! Is this Heaven-Gifted Divine Techniques?!"
Xu Ran: "It’s not a Heaven-Gifted Divine Technique; it’s my spell."
Gao Yuan: "A spell you comprehended?"
Xu Ran: "Yes."
Huang Liang: "Uh... Can we learn it? Can other cultivators learn it?"
Xu Ran thought for a moment: "I doubt it. You need an extremely high talent."
Huang Liang, eager to try: "In a few days, can you teach us, even if we can’t learn it, we’d like to give it a try."
Ye Ping: "Don’t bother, I’ve already failed once."
Huang Liang, Zhao Ying, and Gao Yuan, with stubborn expressions: "We have to try, we won’t turn back until we hit a wall!"
Ye Ping: "Alright, alright."
Xu Ran smiled faintly: "I’ll continue with my plan. Because I have the ability to become invisible, I could secretly approach the Nightmare Vengeful Mother and execute the next step."
"Of course, the next step is also my unique ability."
Saying so,
Xu Ran took out a piece of origami, folded it quickly, then bit his finger and smeared blood on it. Shortly, the origami puffed up, becoming a lifelike child.
The child walked and crawled on the ground, completely indistinguishable from a real person.
Seeing this scene, all the cultivators present were left dumbfounded.
"Huh?"
"Is this a Heaven-Gifted Divine Technique?"
"No spell should be able to achieve this, right?"
"I remember Jiang Han’s Root Bone ability is about creating puppets."
Xu Ran thought for a moment and didn’t explain further: "Perhaps it’s a special ability of the Comprehension Root Bone? In short, my origami creations can easily kill ghostly creatures and absorb their energy."
"Just so happened that the Nightmare Vengeful Mother loves turning children into infant zombies. So, I thought, why not create three thousand fake children?"
"Three thousand children stealthily positioned around the Nightmare Vengeful Mother, at the critical moment of its evolution, will tear its defenses apart and devour its energy."
"Each of the three thousand children consumes 10,000 Qi Blood, totaling a full thirty million Qi Blood Value, causing the Nightmare Vengeful Mother to evaporate instantly..."
Xu Ran briefly explained, omitting the key aspect of [Twilight of the Gods].
Everyone was left in mutual astonishment after hearing it.
"This... this... truly counters the Nightmare Vengeful Mother! By creating fake children, utilizing its affinity for children, to infiltrate its side and strike at the right moment."
"A genius idea!"
"No doubt about it, the Nightmare Vengeful Mother was destined to face such a calamity!"
"If it were in another city, it might have succeeded."
"But it happened to choose the most fearsome city."
"Hahahahaha."
Everyone couldn’t help but burst into laughter, casting amazed glances at Xu Ran: "Truly a genius! Thanks to you, Jing City was saved from potentially losing a large number of talents!"
"Losing a group of talents for the principal would be an unbearable blow!"
Zhao Ying: "I can’t imagine how devastated the principal would be if there was a massive loss of talents..."
The principal, with a serious expression: "Don’t make meaningless assumptions, didn’t we have a young hero standing up with a genius plan to save the entire city?!"
The principal looked at Xu Ran, eyes full of comfort and pride.
However, he seemed to recall some unpleasant memory and suddenly looked at Xu Ran with a strange expression.
