Chapter 428 - 421: Role Feedback! [Ma Ran Thinks You’re Tired]
Chapter 428 - 421: Role Feedback! [Ma Ran Thinks You’re Tired]
Li Xing became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyebrows dancing with joy, "Rivers and seas flow mightily, revealing the true essence of a man!"
"The Earth Heavenly Dao is awakening. When the Prophet and Profound Immortal sparred, they broke the barrier of heaven and earth, concentrating the essence of the world on Wudang Mountain, transforming it into the first famous mountain to take shape!"
"After today, the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, Mount Tai..."
"Famous mountains and great rivers all over the world may awaken their spirituality and become alive!"
"Ordinary people always hope to stumble upon great fortune and encounters."
"True giants, like the Prophet and Profound Immortal, create opportunities and dispense encounters!"
Though it might sound like sucking up, netizens from various countries did not mock Li Xing for this statement.
Because everyone felt similarly.
Among humanoid beings, the excellence of Ma Ran and Zhao Guanlan was indeed excessively high.
"The green mountains remain, the flowing water continues!"
A young man in a Taoist robe calling himself Wudang glanced at Ma Ran and Zhao Guanlan, slightly nodded, and smiled, "My two elder brothers, until we meet again!"
With that, his figure transformed, gradually faded, and disappeared without a trace, as if blending into the rolling hills.
Wudang was not a new alias Ma Ran played using the Youwen Text, but a life he created after early transforming Wudang Mountain with the [Demon Child] medal.
However, the Brotherhood Wine and Heaven and Earth Purple Qi, were indeed credited to the Youwen Text Illusion.
"I should be going back."
Zhao Guanlan looked at Ma Ran lightly, with a complex expression, and said, "This was very enjoyable, I hope next time we meet, you’ll be stronger."
Ma Ran looked up, his demeanor calm, "There will be many opportunities."
Whether these opportunities were for sparring or collaboration wasn’t made clear, intentionally left vague.
This way, it could create more topics and debates.
In the disputes, more people around the world who hadn’t watched the live stream would log onto the Earth Super Forum, watch this recording, and become new viewers.
Upon hearing Ma Ran’s reply, Zhao Guanlan’s lips curled up slightly, smiling meaningfully.
"Goodbye."
He turned around, waved his hand behind him at Ma Ran.
Swish!
The next moment, Zhao Guanlan’s figure disappeared without a trace from the Chinese land, returning to Japan.
As for [Yin Yang Master] Ogata Shitou?
To watch the spar between the Profound Immortal and the Prophet, he was also on Wudang Mountain today, and even took a short-term task of cultural relic and scenic spot protection from within the Guardian Organization.
So, he had to figure out how to return himself.
By boat, by airplane, or perhaps riding a Shikigami across the sea.
After all, [Profound Immortal] Zhao Guanlan did not show the ability to teleport large groups publicly, and after today everyone knew that this guy, like the Sword Master and Demon Child from Cangming Star who got along quite well, wasn’t arriving in his full state as speculated.
Although most people couldn’t understand the specific details of the spar between Zhao Guanlan and Ma Ran, the process and result could be repeatedly observed through a ten-times slow playback of the recording.
This task was being undertaken by netizens from countries all over Earth.
It was also at this moment that Earthlings finally learned that the Zhao Guanlan they knew actually consisted only of a head.
"Three parts of power conquering the world, an old Cangming tradition."
"Feels like Cangming Star and Ultraman Star are somewhat similar; although the personalities of the Sword Master, Demon Child, and Profound Immortal are different, they are all peace-loving people! (Dog head.jpg)"
"Am I the only one interested in those purple auras? Besides Little [Extreme Cold]’s speculation, are there other possibilities?"
"Indeed, those mysterious purple auras, besides [Luck], might also be the [Hongmeng Purple Qi] of the Heavenly Dao’s inception, with a limited share. Only by obtaining this thing can one ascend to the peak and achieve sainthood!"
"As an old drunkard, I’m purely curious about what exactly the three bowls of Brotherhood Wine Wudang offered taste like, not sure if they pair better with roast duck or fried chicken."
"Hahaha! The brother who said this, you can tell is a Chinese comrade at a glance! Come to Russia for a drink when you have the time!"
"Don’t you guys understand yet? The so-called [Brotherhood Wine] is the embodiment of Heaven and Earth Purple Qi! It can be wine, it can be cola, it can be steamed buns, it can be donuts, it can be roasted shallots! The two topics you’re discussing are essentially the same thing!"
"Wow, there’s really no shortage of wise emperors..."
"That ’Wudang’ little Daoist isn’t fair at all! I just noticed that the share of Brotherhood Wine he gave to Mr. Ma Ran is twice as much as that of Lord Profound Immortal!"
"???"
"I thought you all would pretend not to see it, didn’t expect someone actually noticed it... That Little Japan wasn’t wrong, the Prophet drank twice as much Brotherhood Wine as Zhao Guanlan!"
"(・∀・)!Refreshing!"
"Hey? By the way, what’s going on in Japan? Wasn’t it said over there, more people died from the Profound Immortal Team than from the Sea Demon disaster? How come Zhao Guanlan has so many brainless fans? Doesn’t seem like fake loyalty..."
"Back then, their American father gave them [Little Boy] and [Fatso], and they were all grateful. This year Zhao Guanlan gave them the [Profound Immortal Team], so all gratitude and loyalty are only natural."
"Fearing power but not admiring virtue, having small courtesies but lacking great justice—who this refers to, those who know don’t need an explanation."
"You guys are wrong here! Joking about people’s historical scars is too malicious! Those who were harmed by Zhao Guanlan are the previous generation of Japanese, what does that have to do with the people of Guanlan Country now? Those island immigrants who don’t like Profound Immortals sure have fragile hearts! (Sarcasm.jpg)"
"Captain of the Second Battalion, where’s my pasta? Quickly cook a bowl, and give Xiu’Er an extra meal!"
"The Slavs fell into contemplation—should we gift the Japanese a few mushroom bombs to make them like us?"
"I went online to check just now, and I’m dumbfounded... This [Guanlan Country] thing isn’t a joke by sand sculpture netizens? Is it really going to be renamed?"
The Taoist-robed young man Wudang disappeared without a trace, Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan returned to Japan, leaving only two people on the Golden Summit.
Ma Ran glanced at Li Xing, who was holding up a camera, patted him on the shoulder, "Good work."
In the live streaming section of Earth Super Forum, netizens from all over the world started spamming comments like "Not hard at all," "The Prophet touched me!", and "It hurt when you patted me," in a barrage of sand sculpture style.
After speaking, Ma Ran flew towards the Zixiao Palace.
This exchange between Profound Immortal and Prophet, with the appearances of the Emperor’s Liquid, Wudang Mountain Spiritual Transformation, Brotherhood Wine, and Misty Purple Qi, clearly gained the approval of audiences from various countries.
And so...
The [Play] ability begins to provide feedback!
Ma Ran can clearly perceive that he has gained a [Blessing Authority].
This authority is one-time use, capable of greatly enhancing the strength of a life form in all aspects.
It has significant restrictions and can only be used on life forms that are absolutely loyal to Ma Ran.
Even so, there are still many life forms that can accept this blessing.
Thunder Cat, Molten Rock Crow, Reckless Ring...
The most suitable, though, is "Wudang."
In the eyes of the world, the boy in the Daoist robe is also a presence born from the exchange between Profound Immortal and Prophet, holding the aura of prestige and fashionableness. If his power were too weak, it wouldn’t make sense.
"Blessing."
Flying in the sky, Ma Ran focused his mind, and the [Blessing Authority] he had just received was consumed.
Wudang’s strength began to advance rapidly.
Initially infused with a vast amount of Inner Qi, Wudang, when transforming into the Daoist robe boy, already possessed the combat power at the Native Level peak.
Now, Wudang was directly propelled to the Surface Level tier!
And...
It wasn’t merely at the basic stage!
His realm is stable, his energy formidable, equivalent to the middle tier of the Surface Level realm.
From then on, the Daoist robe boy transformed from Wudang Mountain could not only leave Wudang Mountain and freely roam Shiyan, but could also act freely within the entire province. His strength is approximately at the level of [Burning Martial] Fourteenth Rank of Light Inner Qi.
Within Hubei, with the Little Daoist Wudang suppressing the region, even in the absence of Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei, there is no need to worry about sudden alien invaders.
This benefit is secondary.
The greatest gain is the somewhat intangible-sounding "luck."
Otherwise known as [Fortune].
A bowl of Inner Qi-pervaded wine, enhanced with some Youwen Text special effects, entered the belly and was rapidly endowed with new traits by [Play].
It was like a key, opening the treasure door for Ma Ran.
Ma Ran could clearly feel that, after digesting and absorbing that bowl of wine, something invisible, intangible, yet truly existing had pervaded him.
It was...
Virtually tangible [Luck]!
This fortune binds together with Wudang Mountain.
As time passes, it continues to grow stronger!
A mysterious confidence suddenly surged within his heart.
At this moment, Ma Ran suddenly had the premonition that any endeavor undertaken would sail smoothly.
Any trials would become adventures, and every crisis would conceal opportunities.
As the saying goes, "When the time comes, the heaven and earth unite their strength," and indeed it is so.
Even if he leaves Hubei Province, the blessing from Wudang Mountain might weaken slightly, but the essence of fortune will still remain permanently enhanced.
...
In front of the Zixiao Palace.
Su Qiangwei looked at Ma Ran who landed in front of her, and inexplicably, eight words popped into her mind — "Gaze at the world with disdain, the rivers and mountains in heart."
Before she could speak, the black and white-haired youth suddenly said, "With your strength, guarding the Zixiao Palace alone must be tough, right?"
"Now, you can rest."
What kind of titanium alloy straight man is this?
Does he even know how to talk?
"With your strength"—what does that even mean?
If she weren’t temporarily unable to beat him, Master Qiangwei would definitely make him understand why the flowers are so red.
The girl pulled off the small red flower adorning her chest, gritting her teeth, "I’m not tired at all!"
Master Qiangwei can still fight for three hundred more rounds!
The system interface, which had been silent for a while, suddenly popped open at this moment.
The pale blue screen and clear text appeared before her eyes.
[After watching the battle between Zhao Guanlan and Ma Ran, you had an epiphany, and your strength increased.]
[However, to protect the Zixiao Palace, you are now exhausted and feel very fatigued, needing rest.]
"???"
The girl’s face was full of question marks.
There is a kind of fatigue in this world called "Ma Ran thinks you’re tired."
