With a clear goal, Xu Ran was full of energy, becoming "self-disciplined" like a machine.
Of course, he wasn't just charging blindly, but with some focus.
Among the ten magical skills, the Gecko Wall-Climbing Skill need not be practiced for now, as it has reached Minor Achievement and is sufficient!
As for the Lightweight Grass Flying Technique and Mysterious Footwork...
He focused more on practicing Mysterious Footwork, because for a 507-day-old child, Evasion Body Technique was more important.
And Little Xu's Flying Knife and Paper Spirit Communication... These are two super destructive skills, definitely worth daily hard practice!
The rest like Reading Thousands of Books, Animal Feeding, Jumping High, Observing Carefully, and Baby Intimidation, are in the First Sequence and should be pushed hard to the Second Sequence.
Self-discipline, self-discipline!
I love self-discipline!
Xu Ran wished he could stay indoors every day and grind like Xia Country's "Ten-Li Slope Sword God."
Unfortunately, his mom wouldn't allow it.
Other kids were unwilling to play with him, and he didn't talk much, causing his mom great concern, fearing he'd become an autistic child.
So during the day, his mom always took him out to play with Tiger Girl.
It has to be said, Xu Ran and Tiger Girl, are truly a pair of Hidden Dragon and Phoenix.
Tiger Girl was incredibly strong, making other kids roll on the ground after being beaten by her.
Who would dare let their baby play with her?
Thus, Tiger Girl had no friends.
As for Xu Ran, he scared children to tears repeatedly to advance in Baby Intimidation, so other moms wouldn't let their babies play with him either.
Thus, Xu Ran, too, became a child with no playmates.
Fortunately, the Hidden Dragon and Phoenix were surprisingly harmonious together.
Xu Ran could wrestle with Tiger Girl.
Tiger Girl could endure Xu Ran's intimidation—when faced with Xu Ran's sudden scare, Tiger Girl often reacted slowly, just giving a slight shake of her little head before immediately bursting into laughter.
To sum it up: slightly startled but not much, and soon forgot about it.
From then on.
Xu Ran regarded Tiger Girl as a tool.
Not only did he advance Baby Intimidation progress, but also the Observing Carefully progress.
After countless observations, he discovered Tiger Girl's heart glowed twice again—from initial golden to a subsequent faint crimson gold, its quality seemed to be improving…
"Tiger Girl must have a Crimson Golden Perfect Root Bone…"
Xu Ran thought gravely.
Being suppressed by Tiger Girl, is absolutely unacceptable!
He shivered, a certain resolve becoming extremely firm.
"I not only want to achieve the Golden Achievement of [Perfect Cubs], but also increase Blessed Fortune to over 300, to draw out a Crimson Golden Root Bone. In short, I want to be flawless!"
Self-discipline, self-discipline!
I love self-discipline!
Muttering to himself, Xu Ran embarked on a life of self-discipline, day and night.
In the blink of an eye, 100 days passed.
The 607th day since Xu Ran was born!
Beeping sounds rang in his mind.

[Cloud Ladder Jump (Beginner): 0/10000…]

[Current Animal Feeding progress: 50/10000…]
[Current Baby Intimidation progress: 2000/10000…]
[Current Qi Blood Value: 509/1000…]
...
In a hundred days' time.
Xu Ran's strength transformed dramatically.
Not only did his Qi Blood Value increase by a full 100 points, but two magical skills also advanced to the Second Sequence, becoming the body technique [Cloud Ladder Jump] and the combat martial art [Piercing Flaws].
Meanwhile, Mysterious Footwork, Little Xu's Flying Knife, and Paper Spirit Communication all improved to Minor Achievement, with their destructive power increased tenfold.
The improvements were considerable.
Xu Ran smiled knowingly.
It seems by the age of two years and nine months, he can complete the second baptism, drastically increasing his Life Limit to another level!
By then, the sky and the sea would present a whole new landscape!
"It's not in vain that I've been self-disciplined since the first day of birth… It's worth it!"
How terrifying is a life of self-discipline?
Day one of birth: Self-discipline.
Day 30 of birth: Self-discipline.
Day 100 of birth: Self-discipline.
Day 600 of birth: Still self-discipline.
Looking back over 607 days since birth, every day was so fulfilling!
The rewards gained, naturally abundant and solid!
One drawback though.
The progress of Reading Thousands of Books is way too difficult to push forward.
Animal Feeding also requires a huge amount of money, and he can't bear to waste his mom's money.
As for Baby Intimidation, it's extremely difficult as he had no grasp of the pattern.
"I must activate three new skills easy to grind progress. Seize time to secure the Golden Achievement [Perfect Cubs]."
Xu Ran shook his head, deciding to tackle the easy mode.
On this day.
He sat in the bathtub taking a bath.
Suddenly, an idea struck, and he submerged his head into the bathtub, holding his breath for a full twenty seconds.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
His mom hurriedly pulled him up.
Just then, a prompt sounded in his mind.
[You held your breath underwater, triggered a new skill—Water Breath Holding, through diligent practice, you can increase Water Breath Holding progress, reaching full value can advance to Second Sequence… (Promotion Sequence: Water Breath Holding—Water Avoidance Technique—Water God's Blessing—Unknown…)]
[Current Water Breath Holding progress: 0/10000 points…]
[Water Avoidance Technique]: After forming the seal, one can swim freely underwater, only exerting half combat power.
[Water God's Blessing]: Move freely underwater without forming a seal, full combat power can be exerted.
