My Ability Is Role-playing

Chapter 416 - 409: Ma Ran in the Balloon! Martial God and Prophet’s Combination Skill!

"Everyone, please remain quiet!"

Dong Huaiming raised his hand, made a gesture to silence the crowd, and added, "There’s something important to announce next!"

The noisy scene immediately calmed down.

The fervent fans and book enthusiasts always believed in Xiao Ming, while the reporters who couldn’t stop talking were ultimately just after the first scoop.

So everyone cooperated very well.

For a moment, although the scene wasn’t completely silent, it was much better compared to before.

Dong Huaiming did not immediately announce the so-called "important thing," instead, he sat quietly on the chair, turned his head, and looked outside the museum as if waiting for something.

The others at the scene, even if they thought he was keeping them in suspense, could only stay silent, obediently choosing to cooperate.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Five seconds, seven seconds, ten seconds!

Finally, a figure appeared before everyone!

It was a youth with a standard build, exuding a strong chill from head to toe, with short hair standing up. The people around him subconsciously distanced themselves from him.

"It’s [Extreme Cold]! Li Xing!"

"Is it really him?"

"No doubt about it! It’s definitely [Non-chief] himself! I’m a die-hard fan of his!"

"Feels like he looks a bit more handsome after changing his hairstyle. His face is definitely the same as before! I follow his videos religiously, just like those round-face videos from Scotland!"

At this moment, Li Xing was dressed the same as usual, not in the Grass Hut Academy uniform but in a blue and white casual outfit, holding a balloon in his hand, giving off an unusual vibe.

The balloon was a plain large red one, slightly bigger than a human head, floating in the air, looking like an ordinary balloon.

When Li Xing walked up to Dong Huaiming, he gently pinched the string in his hand, letting a stream of cold air flow into the balloon.

Pop!

With a crisp sound, the balloon burst.

A purple-gold smoke cloud spread through the room.

A moment later, as the smoke dissipated, a figure slowly condensed in front of everyone’s eyes.

With a mix of black and white hair, eyes bright as stars, skin as white as jade, exuding a transcendent aura, even with a gentle smile on his face, he made people hesitate to speak or interact frivolously.

Under the strong momentum field of this person, everyone held their breaths, staying quiet and still, like partridges, not daring to make a sound.

Who else could have such prestige and oppression, if not Ma Ran?

Suddenly, the pressure from Ma Ran instantly retracted, disappearing without a trace as if the previous oppression was just an illusion.

"It’s the Prophet!"

"Eh? Did he just pop out of the balloon?"

"Can he freely change size?"

"No, no, no! Your speculation is clearly off; it feels more like the ’Seventy-Two Transformations’ from Journey to the West!"

"Crazy! Are you saying the Prophet just turned into a balloon? Don’t exaggerate! Although the Prophet’s talent and skill are unparalleled, he still needs time!"

"I agree. If it really were Seventy-Two Transformations, why not turn directly into a Gray Eagle or Divine Dragon?"

"Maybe he can only transform into inanimate objects and not living creatures?"

"Wouldn’t it be cooler and flashier to turn into a drone or mecha?"

Listening silently to everyone’s discussions, Ma Ran had a faint smile on his face.

Sometimes, getting close to the masses and going into life can indeed bring more inspiration—in fact, before today, he hadn’t considered playing a non-human role.

After careful thought, Ma Ran realized that whether it’s a robot, Divine Dragon, or the elusive Heavenly Dao, they could all become main characters in a script, played out through Enclosure Text and his currently mastered Extraordinary Abilities!

No matter how others imagine or understand it, once the script is written, the final interpretation lies with him.

Ma Ran smiled slightly, seeming to want to speak.

Immediately, everyone present quieted down.

In the museum, it was so silent that a pin drop could be heard, and even the breath and heartbeat of the people could be heard.

"Now, standing in front of everyone is just a Star Power construct."

Ma Ran said calmly, "While it’s indeed me speaking to you, my real body is still at the Grass Hut Academy in Hubei."

Saying this, he pointed to his chest: "Now, this body carries some information, energy, and star-power-constructed signal reception and feedback organs, possessing about one-third the strength of the main body. Depending on the provided energy amount, it can exist for three to six hours, creating up to three incarnations simultaneously."

With that said, Ma Ran didn’t leave any time for the crowd to ask questions, simply continuing, "As usual, the related cultivation methods and techniques can be obtained free of charge by any Chinese citizen without a criminal record, once they’ve cultivated to a certain level."

After speaking, Ma Ran fell silent.

The reporters and onlookers, who had been holding their tongues for a while, began discussing and questioning eagerly.

"Mr. Ma Ran, what exactly is this [Star Power] you mentioned earlier?"

"Isn’t that obvious? It’s similar to ’Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi,’ ’Spiritual Qi,’ and ’Magic Power’! Media outlets have already revealed that [Profound Immortal] mentioned the Earth’s Heavenly Dao is about to awaken!"

"Do you really believe Zhao Guanlan’s words? I don’t care! Unless the Prophet speaks, I absolutely won’t believe such unscientific things!"

"Honestly, the Heavenly Dao is quite scientific, with many explanations, whether it’s Gaia consciousness or collective biological brainwave network awareness, they all..."

"Alright, don’t stray from the topic! I think, the so-called [Star Power] is likely when Inner Qi is refined, purified, and condensed to the extreme, unable to be elevated further. After reaching the ultimate realm, the Prophet finds a way to use certain methods to allow the Inner Qi to undergo a qualitative transformation!"

"I agree! Didn’t you guys follow international news earlier? Just over an hour ago, there in Busan, South Korea, the Prophet demonstrated the Nineteen Rank of Inner Qi realm and strength! To those in Chuanke, the Nineteen Rank of Inner Qi is a [Vacuum Level] expert!"

"It’s evident that [Prophet] was at ease while dispatching [Romantic Goddess] Shana and Chuanke Seventh Princess Eve, without utilizing his full strength!"

"Exactly! At the Nineteen Rank of Inner Qi, evolving the ’Positional Sand’ in the Inner Ear into Space Organ allows oneself to possess Internal Circulation Ability and planet Magnetic Positioning Ability, directly having Inner Breathing Ability, also slightly increasing the Inner Qi capacity limit in the body, equivalent to ten thousand acupoints’ Inner Qi!"

"Where did you get this information? Is it even real?"

"Heh, I personally visited the Grass Hut Academy and met with President Huang Weiguo, obtaining some exclusive insider info, naturally!"

Ma Ran’s gaze swept over everyone present.

The museum immediately quieted down.

He explained indifferently, "Some friends have already guessed the truth."

"The so-called Star Power is advanced energy that has undergone sublimation through the combination of Inner Qi and the magnetic field of the planet."

"After cultivating in ’Burning Martial’ to the Twenty Ranks, and interlinking the acupoints, creating a living star map, connecting to the star magnetic field, leveraging the magnetic force of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, Inner Qi transforms qualitatively, condensing the [Extreme State Inner Qi] into a Star Power."

"Reaching Twenty Ranks in ’Burning Martial’ allows improving adaptability to pressure, gravity, cold resistance, heat resistance, and also enables creating Star Power incarnations."

Saying this, the corners of Ma Ran’s lips curled into a slight smile, "Everyone can think of Star Power incarnations as hero units controlled in multiple lines like in real-time strategy games."

"It’s just a small technique; there’s no need for excessive attention."

"The peculiarity of this level that’s easily overlooked is [Abnormal Resistance]."

While speaking, Ma Ran snapped his fingers.

Pop!

A purple-gold electric arc sketched out a ring before him.

This ring, like a screen, displayed some dynamic images to everyone present.

"Hello? Can you see? Oh, it’s really working! With my [Screen Mapping] synchronized with your Inner Qi Twenty-Rank [Star Magnetic Manipulation], signals transmitted via Earth and Moon, it’s become a [Profound Light Mirror]! Even scenes on the Moon can be directly transmitted; this brainwave is indeed remarkable!"

In the footage, a girl in white with a rose pinned on her chest quickly stuffed a half-doughnut into her mouth, speaking unclearly to the camera, "Ma Ran, can’t you wait until I finish eating?"

"Outrageous!"

"Master Qiangwei’s image is ruined by you!"

"Thirty years on the east river, thirty years on the west river, don’t underestimate a young girl in poverty!"

"I seek revenge!"

"Ow! Don’t flick my head! If I become stupid in the future, it’s all your fault!"
