Lin Qiubai responded without hesitation, "There's a huge gap."

After pondering for a moment, this ancient-style handsome man looked at Ma Ran, his expression seemed somewhat peculiar, "What a pity."

"What a pity..."

As Zhu Hanyi, the little vacuum, clenched his fist, he wanted on the spot to transform into a hundred thousand "whys" to ask what exactly was regrettable about it.

Rationality held back this impulse.

It's best to minimize the jesting behavior.

"During my time here on Earth, I've gathered quite a bit of intelligence, and I have some understanding of Inner Qi."

Lin Qiubai ignored the diverse reactions of those present and said with regret, "An ordinary Black Rock Martial Arts cultivator of the Eighth Rank of Inner Qi, equipped with firearms, has combat power between the First Realm of Sword and the Second Realm of Sword."

"And you..."

"Strong will, seeing the heart and understanding nature."

"There's an extremely small probability of defeating a peak Second Realm Sword Cultivator."

"If you can give up that so-called superpower and wholeheartedly commit to the sword, your future achievements..."

"Could reach the Fourth Realm of Sword."

[Nurturing], [Essence], [Skeleton], [Dao].

The Seven-turn Sword Sect's legacy consists of these four realms.

Judging from the conversation between the two earlier, not considering Lin Qiubai who can traverse the cosmos single-handedly, the average performance of the Cangming Star's martial arts system is stronger than that of Black Rock Martial Arts.

As for how much stronger—it's still unknown for now.

The intelligence and data are not sufficient!

Besides…

The assumption Lin Qiubai made is itself quite absurd!

An Eighth Rank of Inner Qi + firearms, going against someone wielding cold weapons...

Too many variables, not much reference value.

Zhu Hanyi shook his head and began to ponder the things Lin Qiubai just said.

"Give up superpower, wholeheartedly Sword Dao?"

This must be a joke!

Why would Ma Ran, a National Guardian level Ability User, not thoroughly develop [Limited Foreknowledge] but focus on learning the sword?

Wait!

Something's wrong!

What about Su Qiangwei?

Why doesn't she have to give up superpower?

Lin Qiubai's gaze swept over those present, seemingly seeing through everyone's thoughts, and said indifferently, "To wholeheartedly commit to the sword doesn't mean to strip naked, abandoning even clothes and shoes."

"Su Qiangwei merely regards superpower as bowls and chopsticks, tables, and chairs."

"This is different from Ma Ran."

After Sword Master's words turned around in his head twice, Zhu Hanyi clapped his hands fiercely.

Got it!

Lin Qiubai talks in a roundabout way. If he weren't so clever, he wouldn't have understood what it really meant for a while.

Carefully imagining, the difference in Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei's attitudes toward superpower is huge, which makes sense!

That's human nature.

The easier something is to get, the less it's cherished.

Every time Ma Ran changes the future through [Limited Foreknowledge], he pays with his lifespan.

After several predictions and changes to the future, who knows how much lifespan Ma Ran has spent, gradually altering his subconscious, causing him to highly value his own superpower.

As for Su Qiangwei?

This sharp-tongued woman's superpowers are all stolen from others!

The only price to pay when using them is just fat!

Saying this, Zhu Hanyi felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

Ma Ran just predicted a global catastrophe...

Who knows how many will die then?

Zhu Hanyi shook his head, ensuring he wouldn't overthink it.

That issue is something the leaders above will worry about.

Having figured this out, Zhu Hanyi had a new question—can cultivation secret techniques from Cangming Star truly be used on Earth?

Are Earth's conditions suitable?

Zhu Hanyi's gaze focused on the phone screen floating in the air.

The video chat group now had seventy-six participants.

Although these were not all academic society presidents, they were high-ranking, important figures.

Most members present were recruited into the academic society through academic ability exams. No one had come through a special recruitment channel like Song Chu.

Everyone was clever, quick-witted, and after glancing at Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei twice, quickly understood the crux of the issue just like Zhu Hanyi.

In just one month, Ma Ran had sacrificed so much.

The few strands of white hair on his forehead evoked a sour, touching feeling.

If only Ma Ran could live carefree like Su Qiangwei, happy every day…

Feeling everyone's gaze, Ma Ran touched the white hair on his forehead and smiled gently, "They are a bit glaring, but… it shouldn't affect too much. I will find time to dye them black."

The explanation of lifespan overstrain due to [Limited Foreknowledge] indeed won him respect and considerable voice, but it's a bit troublesome when video chatting with parents.

Just as Ma Ran intended to say more, the [Role-Playing] ability suddenly began to feedback proliferate!

Unfamiliar yet familiar knowledge gradually appeared deep within his memory.

It was a swordsmanship secret manual that could cultivate real skills on Earth!

However…

Currently, it only contained information about the first two realms of Sword Dao, merely an early harvest of some interest.

The biggest gain would come when Demon Mountain descends, during the grand performance.

Even so, these manuals could significantly propel Ma Ran's second script.

As Ma Ran sorted through his memories, the big shots in the video group discussed briefly and made a decision—to cultivate the method of Spirit Sword, which is the secret cultivation technique of the First Realm of Swordsmanship!

After all, with the intelligence and wisdom of Earthlings, once they comprehend the principles, they might even innovate and cultivate a "Spiritual Spear"!

From a hundred miles away, a shot could blast off the head of an alien invader!

On the surface, this seemed like a loss.

After all, since Lin Qiubai had expressed a wish to take a disciple, as long as Su Qiangwei became his disciple, getting the secrets of the Seven-turn Sword Sect would be a breeze, right?

And Lin Qiubai said, knowledge from Cangming Star could be freely chosen.

Doesn't this seem redundant?

But…

The account is not settled that way.

China has never sought petty gains in foreign exchanges, instead habitually seeking long-term cooperation and win-win relationships.

After suffering losses from the Jinshui Town White Mane incident, the leaders have become much more vigilant.

But…

This time is different.

With Ma Ran's guarantee and direct communication, the presidents unanimously believed Lin Qiubai is a promising potential stock!

Lin Qiubai's pride does not allow him to owe anyone the slightest favor.

From this perspective, the Seven-turn Sword Sect on Cangming Star is more reliable than many forces on Earth.

After hearing President Huang Weiguo's words, Lin Qiubai slightly frowned, seemingly somewhat discontented.

He inscribed slowly, "The secret manuals of the First and Second Realms of Sword—I will give you all."

"Additionally, I will leave personal cultivation insights and annotations."

Yet everyone knew Lin Qiubai was only a remaining soul and couldn't possibly dig out a few manuals from his pocket right away.

In the end, Lin Qiubai decided to dictate the secret techniques, with Su Qiangwei and Ma Ran responsible for recording, while Wan Haihao played the mascot role.

The girl pulled to be a laborer had a face full of unwillingness, making Zhu Hanyi grind his teeth.

If she's so unwilling, switch with him!

He vows to be delighted with it!

So infuriating!

If he weren't powerless against this woman…

Fuming, Zhu Hanyi closed his eyes, chanting "Tao Te Ching" in his heart to calm himself.

Then, he heard Lin Qiubai's voice.

"Young man, do you want to learn the sword?"

Zhu Hanyi suddenly opened his eyes wide, realizing that the other was indeed speaking to him.

Without a moment of hesitation, he resolutely kneeled before Lin Qiubai, "Master!"

Lin Qiubai nodded slightly, and Zhu Hanyi was lifted by an invisible, intangible force, "Do not kneel to anyone."

"The Seven-turn Sword Sect does not have such stodgy conventions."

The teenagers on the scene, except for Su Qiangwei and Ma Ran, all looked at Zhu Hanyi with envious, jealous, hateful eyes.

President Huang Weiguo also noticed this and held back his awkwardness, with a thick skin, asked, "Could you teach this group of kids together?"

"If there's anything you need, we will try to accommodate."

One cow is grazing, a herd is also grazing.

The reasoning is not wrong.

But the words should not come from Old Huang.

Lin Qiubai is the one who makes the decision.

Spending others' money generously is too likely to reduce impression scores.

After contemplating for a long time, Lin Qiubai finally replied in a calm tone, "Teach them, I can."

"You'll have to exchange something for it."
