My Ability Is Role-playing

Chapter 423 - 416: Soloing an Aircraft Carrier, Thunder Shatters the Skies

There were a few rather outrageous characters who claimed that their father was Ma Ran, while their mothers were Eve, Shana, Liu Huadie, Jin Yina, and so on.

He Nanguang couldn’t be bothered to entertain them at all, didn’t even want to listen to their fabricated tragic stories, and just told this bunch of sand sculptures to get lost.

Knowing Ma Ran’s personality, the probability of him choosing to end his days alone is far greater than selecting any of the above as partners.

The reasons Eve and Shana are impossible are well known to many members of the academy—[Prophet] is a man with a cleanliness obsession, disciplined and with a strong sense of justice.

Anyone who has seen "Chuankai Movie" can tell that Ma Ran has no feelings for Jin Yina, treating her only as an ally from the same camp, nothing more.

As for Liu Huadie...

Both He Nanguang and Wu Di, as venerable members of the Fulan Academy, could swear that this untouchable presence has no relationships with Ma Ran other than that of comrades.

Her heart belongs to someone else.

Thinking of this, He Nanguang’s old face blushed, he shook his head, and looked forward.

With Earth in chaos, how can one call it home?

Only by becoming strong enough can one have the right to talk about love.

Compared to the first-tier powerhouses like the Prophet, the Martial God, and God, he’s still far behind.

Not far away, the girl who claimed to be "Ma Qiangwei," Ye Xue, was huddling and crying with her parents who had come to recognize her.

"Quite adaptable, also a girl starved for love... "

After resolving Ye Xue’s troubles, He Nanguang activated his [Yukong] ability, soaring into the clouds and flying towards the Golden Summit.

Tricky issues like Ye Xue’s are rare; most of the sand sculptures causing trouble can be properly handled by the staff.

...

In front of Nanyan Palace on Wudang Mountain.

Academy elites Dong Huaiming, Wan Haihao, Song Chu, Wu Di, and Ye Chudong gathered together.

"It’s about time."

"Speaking of which, it’s merely a regular sparring session. We made such a grand scene on the Earth Super Forum, could anything go wrong?"

"It won’t."

"Isn’t Old Huang overthinking? The distance between Nanyan Palace and the Golden Summit is so far; surely they wouldn’t get crushed by the aftershocks of Brother Ran and the Profound Immortal’s duel..."

"Better safe than sorry, it’s always good to be prepared."

"Brother Hao, you’ve been talking less lately, with a concise style, a bit like the Sword Master back then—is this the legendary ’speak less, act expert’ look?"

"Brother Hao? Weren’t you always calling him Ah Hao?"

"Enough joking! This is a big occasion! We’re in the VIP audience seats! Watch carefully, learn well! Don’t screw up at the crucial moment! If Nanyan Palace blows up, Old Huang will rant at us again!"

"Tch... So far away, and still VIP... Then Li Xing must have the super V9 premium seat? He’s right on the Golden Summit!"

"Honestly, for battles of this magnitude, being closer isn’t necessarily better. Our position here is one of the best spectating spots, outside of Zixiao Palace. Prince’s Slope is a step worse, and those further back will have to pull out their phones and watch the live stream on the Earth Super Forum."

The Earth Super Forum, abbreviated as the [Earth Extraordinary Forum].

Zixiao Palace is not the dojo of Hongjun Ancestor from "The Investiture of the Gods," but rather a famous scenic spot on Wudang Mountain.

...

Prince’s Slope.

Chuankai Eldest Prince Li Tang and [Emotional Tribulation] Jin Yina arrived together.

Boom!

The bricks shattered, the ground sank, and the dirt turned up.

At this moment, Li Tang’s appearance was entirely different from before.

He was piloting a robustly designed mecha.

This mecha stood five meters tall, painted in sky blue, equipped with a high-frequency blade and a medium-range railgun, exuding a cold metallic aura, and capable of both mid and close-range combat.

Not only can it fly, but it can also submerge underwater, possessing trinity land-sea-air capabilities.

This mecha’s design drew on technological data from the Eternal Civilization, and Chinese researchers had overcome most barriers long before. After Li Tang took over the mecha system construction task, he simply overcame the most challenging points and created the first generation of Chinese mecha.

He wore the trial model named [Xingtian Type One].

Despite its advantages in trinity combat, it also had some evident drawbacks—its performance was unstable.

Although repeated tests allowed research personnel to confirm that, under perfect conditions and with its full capabilities, the mecha pilot could, over time, single-handedly take on an aircraft carrier, it required highly specific qualities in the driver, with only a few capable of piloting it for now.

As time passes and updates continue, the mecha’s performance will improve, and demands on the mechanicians will appropriately decrease, facilitating widespread use.

"You should be gentler when landing."

Jin Yina frowned deeply: "Wudang Mountain is a cherished cultural and scenic heritage of Earth Civilization; when circumstances allow, we should strive to protect it."

The sky blue mecha lifted its feet from the embedded ground with two knee-lifting movements, and Li Tang’s voice reverberated from within the machine: "The Xingtian Type One’s weight is a basic physical attribute that can’t be reduced any further. However, when I return, I’ll find a way to strengthen the shock absorption system."

In these three days, most of his energy had been poured into mecha research and development, and during breaks, he analyzed his current situation.

As the former Crown Prince of Chuanke, Li Tang had both cunning and wisdom.

He was well aware that, with himself bound to [Emotional Tribulation], he seemed to be under Jin Yina’s control. Still, in reality, he was beholden to Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei.

Li Tang did not want to perish here.

He desired to live—and not just survive, but truly live.

During those three days at the Extraordinary Research Institute, he exhausted his mind, trying to showcase his value, pouring countless efforts just to overcome numerous barriers in mecha manufacturing.

In this process, he gradually began to recognize those researchers he once deemed "low-level civilization natives" for their wisdom and spirit.

Succeeding in a research challenge felt like winning a hard-fought battle.

During these trials, Li Tang’s mindset unknowingly changed.

He began to acknowledge the wisdom and spiritual nature of Earthlings, no longer dismissing the frail researchers who could be glared to death as ants but regarding them as highly specialized "people."

When the Xingtian Type One appeared before him, though he was reluctant to admit, Li Tang had to face his feelings— the sense of achievement from creation was not inferior to conquest and colonization; in fact, it surpassed them!

As for Jin Yina...

Li Tang’s attitude towards her was no longer as disdainful and resentful as before.

No matter what the future held, at least in those three days, through the link of [Emotional Tribulation], Li Tang could clearly perceive that Jin Yina wasn’t content to just live off the resources; instead, she was exceptionally diligent, spending all her time cultivating besides eating, drinking, and sleeping.

During this period, Li Tang’s cultivation realm also partly recovered thanks to [Emotional Tribulation].

Anyone who strives hard enough, regardless of race, gender, or other deficiencies, will always be regarded with new eyes.

...

Outside Zixiao Palace.

Su Qiangwei stood proudly atop the clouds, surrounded by floating smoke and mist as if a celestial maiden stepped into the mortal world. Her beautiful eyes flickered with a radiant light, unlike any mortal.

Not far off, in the sky, thunder surged, and electricity roared.

Rumble!

Su Qiangwei noticed that after a muffled sound, the vast firmament was torn asunder by a pure golden thunderbolt!

Within that fractured sky, two figures stood proudly.
