"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Suddenly someone patted Ma Ran on the back with a "slap": "I've never seen you like this before..."

It turned out that while Ma Ran was "eavesdropping" on intelligence, Su Qiangwei had quietly descended from the sky and appeared behind him.

"I just got here."

The girl rubbed her chin, looking like a great detective: "You were distracted just now, weren't you!"

"Is there anything special about that guy named Li Xing?"

The unusualness of Ma Ran couldn't fool Master Qiangwei!

Noticing the gaze of the second phase students, Su Qiangwei's expression changed slightly.

She placed one hand behind her back and patted Ma Ran on the shoulder, saying something meaningless: "Thanks for your hard work on this overseas assignment!"

Actually...

There was no such overseas assignment.

Just back from vacation, Ma Ran looked at Su Qiangwei as if she were mentally ill, shook his head slightly, and denied her previous guess: "It's not because of Li Xing."

"He's just an ordinary unlucky guy."

He had no intention of further explaining.

Eternal Civilization, You Civilization, Superpower Civilization...

Including the civilization of the 98725's maternal clan, the one releasing the Eye-Stealing Monster and dispatching the Shadow of Hafra...

So many hidden puppet masters, without exposing their true selves first, saying anything rashly would be pointless and only cause unnecessary worry.

Ma Ran chose to shoulder these alone—at least it would ease the mental pressure on his comrades.

Their conversation attracted the attention of many second-phase students.

Besides Li Xing, who felt bewildered by being singled out, many fanboys and fangirls focused their gaze, letting out repressed exclamations.

"Wow! The Martial God is here too!"

"The seniors indeed pay close attention to us newcomers!"

"Speaking of which, the relationship between the Prophet and the Martial God is as good as the rumors say..."

"I wonder if they're lov—"

"Shut up! Don't make wild assumptions! It's pure camaraderie between comrades! An unbreakable bond of friendship! My Ran Baby would never start dating early!"

"Outside, isn't the Prophet's personal information even less than the Sword Master's? Where did fans like you come from?"

"Black and white hair, good temperament, handsome, powerful."

"Alright! Those twelve words are enough... By the way, how does seeing the Prophet in person feel?"

"More perfect than imagined! The brothers and sisters in the group are dying of jealousy! Hahaha!"

"Same here with our 'Martial God Support Team'! Joining the Grass Hut Academy feels like an incredible blessing! Master Qiangwei is more beautiful, stronger, and more dashing than expected!"

The second-phase members of Grass Hut Academy were a bit off.

Su Qiangwei's support group being all female could be barely understood, but to have male fans on my side?

It was perplexing.

Ma Ran sighed, deciding not to dwell on it.

At the moment, Su Qiangwei still had her hand on his shoulder, striking a pose.

Ma Ran expressionlessly said, "Take it yourself."

He had already saved her face by not swatting off this little pig's hoof on the spot.

Upon hearing this, the girl blinked her right eye, chuckled, withdrew her hand, and expressed her gratitude.

No further encroachment, which was fine.

Ma Ran gave Su Qiangwei a blank look as a warning, and continued pondering the content mentioned by the mechanical voice just now.

[Shattering Void], [Melt Devouring], [Soul Split].

Originally, these were the three superpowers with the highest compatibility with Ma Ran.

Especially [Shattering Void]; upon hearing this name, Ma Ran had a vague suspicion that this was the "Superpower Key" that shattered when he last came to Shengyu Stone Well because of a direct play.

At the same time, [Shattering Void] was likely the "Unique Material" the alien had mentioned earlier, which had been scrapped.

If it hadn't been for the interjection of an off-the-charts level of play, I should have been choosing one of these three superpowers, seemingly of National Guardian level, to master...

Besides myself, who knows if there are any other Earthlings able to resonate with these three great abilities?

In the years leading up to Earth's doomsday, Ma Ran had realized early on that destruction was coming and thus made strategic plans in advance.

After each mission, Ma Ran would indulge in browsing the large database.

He knew that even until Earth was destroyed in his past life, no Earthling could awaken [Shattering Void], [Melt Devouring], [Soul Split], or [Time Slow].

With this thought, Ma Ran glanced at Su Qiangwei beside him, who still pretended to be aloof while secretly enjoying the fan praise.

The girl immersed in her fans' adoration actually possessed the superpower most characteristic of a villain.

[Myriad Transformations]...

It sounded grand.

But in reality, it might be the most wicked and domineering among many superpowers.

No matter what ability it is, as long as the level hasn't reached a certain threshold, once it appears within the vision range of an [Awakened] of [Myriad Transformations], it will silently and stealthily be copied.

Can Advanced ability Awakened refuse replication with subjective will?

It's only possible with the other party's approval?

Knocking the unwilling into unconsciousness to forcibly [Myriad Transformations] is also feasible!

As Ma Ran was deep in thought, the new members had already completed their superpower awakening.

According to President Huang Weiguo's arrangements, the Inner Qi Introduction Cultivation was scheduled for the next day, and the remaining time today was related to Seven Vortex Swordsmanship.

On the way, Ma Ran felt that the Enclosure Text had become part of himself now; using it was as effortless and instinctive as breathing, without any hindrance.

At the same time, his understanding of the Enclosure Text deepened as if he was about to grasp its most fundamental core.

This feeling was torturous.

It was like trying to hold a handful of sand.

The harder you try, the faster the sand slips away.

"..."

With a slight perception, Ma Ran understood that only by strengthening his spiritual power and using it as an adhesive could he firmly grasp those "sands"!

However...

The requirements were a bit high.

Even with the help of 98725, and harvesting Gray's divinity, it was still difficult to meet the ultimate advancement conditions of the Enclosure Text.

It's hard to imagine what kind of life could possibly cultivate the Enclosure Text to its highest level.

However...

According to the intelligence analysis of the human community in my past life on ten Enclosure Text legacy instruments, even the top experts in the You Civilization mostly had Master Level achievements, and the appearance of one at the Grandmaster Level could dominate an era.

The Enclosure Text inheritance didn't mention any so-called "Ultimate Realm", nor were there any records of exceeding Grandmaster Level.

"Welcome to the 'Sword Pavilion'!"

Old Huang's voice pulled Ma Ran out of his thoughts.

Everyone had arrived at the sports grounds where Sword Master Lin Qiubai once taught Sword Dao.

This place had now been transformed into the nostalgically styled "Sword Pavilion".

From the decor style to the equipment placement, everything exuded a particularly retro style.

No one had ever visited Cangming Star, nor did anyone know the architectural style of the Seven Vortex Sword Sect.

The Sword Pavilion's transformation scheme was entirely based on the designers' brainstorming.

Overall...

The outcome was not bad and was quite impressive.

Many newcomers determined to major in Seven Vortex Swordsmanship, led by the president's assistant, entered the Sword Pavilion in an orderly fashion, filled with a sense of pilgrimage.

Meanwhile, Old Huang, Ma Ran, Su Qiangwei, Wu Di, and others remained outside the Sword Pavilion.

Because the Demon Child was there, frowning and standing in an inconspicuous corner behind the Sword Pavilion, pondering something unknown.
