Chapter 255: Finally Mastering the Divine Technique!

Chapter 255: Finally Mastering the Divine Technique!

Jiang Ruyi stood quietly by the side, patiently waiting.

The Celestial Ram Deity communicated with Lu Ran through telepathy, so she couldn't hear the deity's words and could only catch Lu Ran's responses.

As the conversation between the man and the deity concluded, Lu Ran turned to look at Jiang Ruyi, and a smile also appeared on her face.

That enchanting smile made Lu Ran want to hold her in his arms once again.

It must be said that Lu Ran was becoming increasingly greedy.

So greedy that...

"It's already dark, let's stay here for the night," Lu Ran took a step forward and held the girl's slender hand, "Today is the 14th, and the city is under lockdown."

Jiang Ruyi had wanted to congratulate Lu Ran and offer her belated celebration.

But this sudden change in topic left her feeling a bit flustered.

Lu Ran, holding Jiang Ruyi's hand, led her out of the small bedroom and then, without further ado, wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her into a tight embrace.

"Mmm," Jiang Ruyi leaned back slightly, welcoming an unprecedented passionate kiss.

She closed her eyes tightly, placing one hand on Lu Ran's shoulder, her slender fingers gripping tightly.

Lu Ran, who had successfully advanced, was indeed overjoyed.

That belated congratulations, instead of waiting for her to give it, Lu Ran took it upon himself.

After a long while, Jiang Ruyi finally lifted her head, her face flushed, and she breathed lightly, adjusting her chaotic breath.

Lu Ran whispered in her ear, "I'll tidy up the master bedroom, and you can sleep there tonight.

Tomorrow morning, we'll go on a mission."

"Lu Ran."

"Hmm?"

"Send me home," Jiang Ruyi lowered her eyelashes and spoke softly, "Tomorrow is the 15th, it's also Heaven's Pride Night, and we both need to be in good condition.

Besides, my mom has sent me many messages, urging me several times."

Lu Ran: "..."

After a long pause, seeing no response from Lu Ran, she gathered her courage and lifted her head, lightly kissing his lips like a dragonfly skimming the water:

"Okay?"

That coaxing tone was quite rare.

"Alright then," Lu Ran naturally couldn't be too insistent, and he reluctantly agreed.

Seeing Lu Ran's unhappy expression, Jiang Ruyi's face turned red, and she continued in her coaxing tone:

"In the morning, will you come to my house to pick me up?"

"Oh," Lu Ran reluctantly agreed, then suddenly asked, "When should I visit your house?

I haven't formally met your uncle and aunt yet."

Jiang Ruyi's heart stirred slightly, and her mother had also mentioned this matter several times.

But Lu Ran was very busy, truly busy.

Busy with cultivation and training.

Now, Lu Ran finally brought up this matter.

Was her life about to enter a new phase?

"Ruyi?"

"After our college entrance exam?" Jiang Ruyi snapped out of her thoughts and gave an answer she had rehearsed in her mind countless times.

"Okay, it's settled then!" Lu Ran nodded firmly, "By the way, what do your uncle and aunt like? Give me some hints."

"Guess?"

Jiang Ruyi seemed to be in a good mood, and her usually gentle and quiet demeanor gave way to a mischievous smile.

"Tsk~"

The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked out of the house, braving the drizzle, heading towards the Rain Alley City neighborhood.

Along the way, they encountered numerous Moon Watcher squads and were stopped several times.

Fortunately, Lu Ran's face was like a pass, and he not only avoided being scolded but also received many blessings and encouraging words.

The Moon Watchers seemed to be even more concerned about tomorrow's 'Heaven's Pride' than Lu Ran himself.

By the time Lu Ran returned home, it was already past seven in the evening.

He didn't waste any time and began studying the Dark Arts.

As of today, Lu Ran had activated five Evil God Statues.

They were the Evil Dog Statue, the Soul Splitting Devil Statue, the Night Charm Statue, the Dark Lantern Statue, and the Crimson Paper Figure Statue.

Among them, the Crimson Paper Figure Statue was at the first stage of the River Realm, and the Dark Lantern Statue was at the second stage.

Lu Ran could sense that after tomorrow, the Dark Lantern Statue would also likely upgrade.

On the night of the 15th, the Dark Lantern clan was not uncommon.

At that time, Lu Ran would be able to equip the Dark Lantern clan's Dark Art of the Shadow Lantern Array.

This technique was a group control skill, and Lu Ran could summon numerous dark lanterns. Any living being enveloped by the light would have their movements hindered.

Of course, at this time, Lu Ran couldn't learn it yet, so he focused his attention on the remaining three statues.

These three statues, when adapted to the third stage of the River Realm, corresponded to the following Dark Arts:

The Evil Dog Dark Art of the Evil Shadow Flash.

The Soul Splitting Devil's Dark Art of the Soul Splitting Array.

The Night Charm Dark Art of the Night Charm Shadow.

Aside from the Soul Splitting Array, Lu Ran could thoroughly research and experiment with the other two Dark Arts.

After all, Lu Ran didn't want to summon a group of fearless charging black bulls and tear down his house.

Lu Ran first targeted the Dark Art of the Evil Shadow Flash!

He was closely connected to the Evil Dog Statue and had been practicing for a long time before finally opening his eyes.

"Amazing," Lu Ran quickly circled around the house, drawing the curtains.

Being cautious was always a good idea.

Then, Lu Ran channeled his divine power and worked with the Evil Dog Statue to cast the spell.

The energy within his body was incredibly active, and he felt a pulling force.

It was as if all his energy was being squeezed inward, compressing him into a ball.

Immediately after, Lu Ran felt an expanding force, as if the energy within him was trying to burst his body open.

Both sensations occurred in an instant.

"Shua~"

Lu Ran teleported, moving from beside the small bed to in front of the shrine in an instant.

Lu Ran, having successfully cast the spell, seemed a bit dazed.

He turned to look, confirming several times that he had indeed teleported a few steps away.

"Awesome!" Lu Ran's face turned red with excitement.

This...

It was a divine technique!

Lu Ran felt like a child who had received his favorite toy, gazing intently at his small bed.

(End of Chapter)"Swish~"

His figure flashed again, appearing at the bedside table.

"This is like a freaking dream!"

Lu Ran vigorously rubbed his face, trying to wake himself up.

Wait a minute.

If he couldn't see, could he still teleport?

Lu Ran pondered for a moment, considering the layout of his home, which he knew like the back of his hand.

"Swish~"

"Meow!" In the living room, Xiao Lihua, who was on the sofa, was startled.

She had been leisurely licking her paws, but when a figure suddenly appeared, Xiao Lihua was launched into the air.

Whoa!

She jumped pretty high.

"Ow!" Lu Ran reached out to catch Xiao Lihua.

Strangely, before his forward step could land, his entire body disappeared once more.

When Lu Ran's foot touched the ground, he had already appeared beneath Xiao Lihua, catching the startled cat.

"Meow?" Xiao Lihua was completely dumbfounded.

She nestled in her master's embrace, tilting her head back and staring blankly at Lu Ran.

It was clear that her little brain couldn't quite keep up.

"Sorry." Lu Ran gently stroked her fluffed-up fur, soothing her with tenderness.

"Meow~" Xiao Lihua whimpered softly, suddenly feeling empty all around.

Her master had disappeared again.

Xiao Lihua fell, twisting mid-air, and landed steadily on all fours.

"Meow~~~! Meow, meow, meow!"

Lu Ran stood in the pitch-black master bedroom, hearing Xiao Lihua's grumbling from the living room.

He couldn't understand,

but it sounded like she was cursing profusely.

"I can't bring living things with me." Lu Ran had expected this, but he couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed.

Oh well, oh well, I should be content.

Teleportation alone was already amazing enough.

"Dad, Mom." Lu Ran's eyes gleamed with a peculiar light as he looked at their wedding photo hanging above the headboard, "Impressive, right?"

From now on,

Mom won't have to worry about me forgetting the house keys anymore!

The Imprisoned Demon Follower can open windows and pick locks?

Hmph,

It's ultimately not the right path!

I, an Evil Dog Follower, can directly sneak into others' homes without a sound, leaving no trace of forced entry!

Wait a minute!

Lu Ran patted his forehead, remembering that he wasn't just an Evil Dog Follower but the master of the Evil Dogs.

"Swish~"

Lu Ran teleported once more, appearing at the head of the bed.

He placed one hand on his parents' wedding photo and said softly, "Soon, I'll clean up this room.

You won't mind, will you?"

Lu Ran believed that such a minor matter didn't require disturbing his mother.

Moreover, ever since his parents' divorce when he was young, his mother had never stepped into this house again and had long given up on this room.

Even on the day he went to the capital, it was someone sent by his mother who came.

As for his deceased father,

the fact that he didn't object meant he silently agreed~

Lu Ran gently wiped the old photo and put away his playful thoughts, "I'll keep this photo safe and preserve it well."

Under the nine springs, you would be happy for me, right?

"Swish~"

Lu Ran quietly disappeared.

Returning to his small bedroom, he felt a sense of emptiness within.

Only then did Lu Ran realize that he had gotten too excited and cast spells in quick succession.

Additionally, the Evil Dog Dark Art - Evil Shadow Flash was quite energy-consuming, causing his body to send out warning signals.

Lu Ran immediately drew energy from the divine power bead around his neck.

With 'Heaven's Pride' approaching, he absolutely couldn't overtax his body.

After a long while, Lu Ran entered the spiritual world, closely connected to the Night Charm Evil Sculpture, after feeling his divine power replenished.

It was time to demonstrate the Night Charm Shadow technique!

This three-in-one technique had long been on Lu Ran's wishlist.

A full quarter of an hour later, Lu Ran opened his eyes, but his face looked a bit odd.

After deeply understanding the dark art, Lu Ran also realized the problem at hand.

"Buzz~"

Lu Ran's body was filled with immense divine power, and his body trembled as he abruptly split into three! More accurately, two figures burst out from within him.

These two figures were the ones that made Lu Ran scratch his head in confusion.

This technique was called the Night Charm Shadow.

So, the question arose: who were these two figures created by Lu Ran?

The answer was—Night Charms!

Lu Ran grinned, looking at the two Night Charms, unable to freely switch between bodies.

Because, in essence, the Night Charm race was made of energy.

This race seemed to have flesh and blood, but once killed, their corpses would eventually turn into energy and dissipate with the wind.

Lu Ran, on the other hand, was a genuine flesh-and-blood being!

Energy bodies couldn't serve as his physical vessel.

If the Dark Art of Night Charm Shadow were considered a "two-part technique," Lu Ran could only demonstrate the first part, summoning two clones.

The fundamental structural difference prevented Lu Ran from completing the second part.

Hmm, no matter.

After all, he already had the Evil Dog Dark Art - Evil Shadow Flash, so he could just use these two Night Charms as distractions for the enemy.

"Pfft~"

As soon as Lu Ran had this thought, the two Night Charms shattered into mist.

These two clones were meant for the Night Charms to switch bodies and disrupt the enemy for a short time; they couldn't exist for long.

Hmm, no problem!

Being able to distract the enemy was enough.

In the future, when he was on the battlefield, in the midst of killing, if two Night Charms suddenly appeared, wouldn't that be more than enough?

Not to mention if they could last for ten or eight seconds, even if they could only appear momentarily, they could still deliver two strikes!

It was enough to take a life, enough to help Lu Ran escape danger.

It was enough for Lu Ran to pull off many flashy moves, as long as he explored them well.

So, no problem, no problem at all!

Putting everything aside, a thousand words condensed into one: I, Lu Ran, can teleport!

I can teleport!
