Chapter 28

Beast Slayer had lost!

It had been defeated by a small rock!

The scene was silent. It was completely silent!

Everyone was dazed. They were petrified, and their emotions could not calm down for a long time.

What had they seen just now?

A small stone that had expanded and shrunk had defeated Beast Slayer?

It was shocking!

They slowly shifted their gazes to Li Ran’s body. How could an ordinary Soul Ring erupt with such divine might?

The crowd did not give up as they looked at the ordinary stone in the young man’s hand, as well as the Soul Ring on his arm. There was no luster to it, only a faint layer of gold.

How could a ten-year-old stone beat a 1,000-year-old Beast Soul Ring?

.

The only explanation was that it was because of Body Cultivation!

Li Ran’s physical power had become stronger, which was why his Soul Ring could burst out with such might!

That must be the case!

After understanding all of this, everyone’s expression toward Li Ran was somewhat unnatural. Their previous contempt had disappeared.

‘Is there really no future for Body Cultivators?’

They asked themselves.

“Lil Ran.”

Chief Li Xun’s footsteps were a bit unsteady. He found it hard to believe that Li Ran had defeated that genius youth from the Wang Xiang family.

That genius with a 1,000-year-old Beast Soul Ring!

The youth was defeated by his son!

At the same time.

“Lil’ friend, I admire you. Today, you’ve truly made me sigh with emotion. You refreshed my knowledge on Cultivation!”

The middle-aged man smiled as he walked forward. His expression did not change, but a storm raged in his heart, unable to calm down for a long time.

“Uncle Liu, you flatter me! At the end of the day, I only did my best. I don’t want others to look down on Body Cultivators!”

Li Ran replied politely.

The Wang Xiang family’s disciples in the distance had stiff expressions and looked embarrassed.

“You’re a gifted genius, a rare genius among Body Cultivators. You’re just an exception. It doesn’t mean that all Body Cultivators are like this. Body Cultivation will eventually be eliminated. The tide has already turned!”

The leader of the Wang Xiang family spoke indifferently from a distance.

His voice was not loud, but everyone present heard him.

Yes, there was no hope for Body Cultivation!

These words brought the joyous members of the Pure Wind Clan and the other group of Body Cultivators back to reality. It was as if cold water had been poured over their heads, completely extinguishing the flames that had just been ignited in their hearts.

Li Ran was a miracle and a rare genius in Body Cultivation. Most Body Cultivators could not do what he had done.

The disciples of the Pure Wind Clan and the young man from before were living examples.

All in all, the path of Body Cultivation was not as broad as the path of Soul Dao!

The former’s upper limit was ultimately not as high as the latter’s!

This was the truth.

When the Pure Wind Clan’s chief and the middle-aged man heard those words, they did not make a sound. Their hands were tightly clenched by their sides.

Were they unwilling?

Of course, they were.

Even so… What could they do?

On the side, Li Ran was expressionless as he looked at the Wang Xiang family’s man. His tone was cold and sinister.

“What makes you so certain?”

He still knew that one should not pass judgment until one had seen the end. Therefore, he hated it the most when people jumped to conclusions.

“Li Ran, you can defeat me now but once I bind my second and third Soul Rings, can you still do it?”

Wang Chen, who was supported by his companions, mocked with a gloomy look.

His Soul Ring had suffered a severe blow, but he was not spared either. His body had suffered severe injuries including internal injuries.

As the heir to the Wang Xiang family, he had awakened six Soul Rings at once, becoming a well-deserved prodigy of Sifang Town.

He had almost never been defeated.

What made Wang Chen feel humiliated was not his defeat, but his defeat at the hands of Li Ran. How could he be reconciled to a Body Cultivator whose Innate Soul Ring was inferior to his!

“Your upper limit’s already so high. Can you go any higher? It won’t be long before I can bind my second Soul Ring all the way to my sixth Soul Ring. My strength will be at least that of a Soul King. Li Ran, tell me the truth. Can you do it?

“You can defeat Soul Warriors of the same realm and have no opponents among Soul Warriors but what about Soul Cultivators? What about Great Soul Masters? Can you continue to be invincible?”

Wang Chen was very straightforward. Just because Li Ran defeated him today did not mean that he was a powerhouse. He could only say that Li Ran was lucky. Li Ran was only lucky enough to defeat him because he was still a Soul Warrior. That was all!

“Whether or not I can continue to defeat you, you can try again in the future!”

Li Ran was not discouraged, angry, or mad because of those words. In fact, he was not affected at all. There was no need to listen too seriously to the words of a defeated opponent.

“Alright. Once I become a Great Soul Master, I’ll definitely go to the Pure Wind Clan to spar with you. By then, I’ll crush you to the ground!”

Wang Chen sneered. He had enough confidence that when he became a Great Soul Master, he would possess three Soul Rings. Not to mention anything else, even the power of his Innate Soul Ring would increase tenfold!

At that time, what would Li Ran use to fight against him?

That laughable physical power?

Soul Rings were the kings that could crush everything!

Once he unleashed his Soul Rings, Heaven and Earth could be destroyed!

Wang Chen gave Li Ran a sinister look. In the end, he was helped off by his people and returned to the Wang Xiang family’s group.

“Li Ran is powerful now, but that doesn’t prove that he can continue to be strong and invincible in the future. There’s a limit to the strength of his physical body. I’m guessing that he has little hope to even become a Great Soul Master!”

Someone analyzed.

This was all Li Ran could do!

He could only reign supreme among Soul Warriors. If his opponent was a Great Soul Master, he would not even dare to fart!

“Are you done? If you’re so capable, let’s spar together and see!”

The robust man looked at that person and berated loudly.

With that, the whispers in the surroundings immediately disappeared. That robust man was a Great Soul Master. They did not dare to offend him, so there was no need for them to make a mistake with their words and provoke him to such an unpleasantness!

In fact, it was not only the Wang Xiang family who thought this way. Many people did not say it out loud, but they also had the same thought in their hearts.

Li Ran was very talented in Body Cultivation. Since the beginning of time, he was one of such a heaven-gifted genius.

That said… So what?

Could he change the outcome of Body Cultivation? Could he change the bottleneck in strength faced by Body Cultivators?

No!

Li Ran could defeat Wang Chen, a God-favored one today. Nevertheless, even if he defeated all the Soul Warriors on the Azure Dragon Continent tomorrow and was invincible in the world of Soul Warriors, what use would it be?

The upper limit of his strength would just be like that!

In the future, he would at most grow into an ordinary Great Soul Master.

There were countless Great Soul Masters on the Azure Dragon Continent. Moreover, among Great Soul Masters, their strengths were uneven. The gap between every such powerhouse was very obvious in that realm.

Some Great Soul Masters were Great Soul Masters, but their Soul Rings were far more powerful than ordinary Great Soul Masters. They were even on par with Soul Grandmasters.

As for some Great Soul Masters, they had only barely managed to enter the realm. They would have no problem dealing with Soul Cultivators but if they really encountered powerful Great Soul Masters, they would be defeated!

Body Cultivators accounted for more than half of these types of Great Soul Masters. This was the tragedy of Body Cultivators.
