My Ability Is Role-playing

Chapter 431 - 424: Martial God X Prophet – Identity Swap?

Ma Ran has now cultivated to the twentieth rank of "Burning Martial", his Inner Qi has sublimated into a Star Power, and there’s no more Inner Qi in his body. When using the food-making techniques of the eighteenth rank of Inner Qi, the energy consumed naturally becomes Star Power.

After Su Qiangwei finished a bowl of beef noodles, her blood and Qi were boiling, her face turned red, and the total amount of Inner Qi drastically increased. The purity also improved greatly, making her feel dizzy, as if she were drunk.

She realized that the benefits she gained from this special edition beef noodles by Ma Ran were far greater than she imagined.

Originally, Su Qiangwei felt there was a significant bottleneck in progressing from the seventh rank to the eighth rank of Inner Qi.

Don’t be fooled by how easily Ma Ran advances as if eating and drinking, thinking that cultivating the original Inner Qi was easy.

The seventh, eighth, and ninth ranks of Inner Qi are the top tiers of the original Inner Qi and are not easy to achieve.

From microscopic manipulation to the derivation of the Momentum Field, there are many obstacles. Even someone as talented as Su Qiangwei finds it somewhat troublesome, needing to spend some time.

After finishing the noodles, Su Qiangwei instantly felt that many confusions disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Inner Qi enhancing cells, increasing blood and Qi power, boosting life force, evolving the Momentum Field, storing information in Inner Qi, creating Inner Qi Keys...

All the hidden steps of the eighth and ninth ranks of Inner Qi that can only be comprehended intuitively were perceived by Su Qiangwei one by one.

As long as she’s accumulated enough, she can successfully break through.

Not only that, even reaching the ninth rank of Inner Qi is a natural progression, without any suspicion of rushed advancement.

What is enlightenment?

This is enlightenment!

After drinking the last drop of soup, Su Qiangwei took a wet napkin and wiped her rosy mouth. After hesitating for a moment, she looked at Ma Ran, finally made up her mind, and said, "Such high-level energy food, don’t make it anymore in the future."

"We are comrades through life and death, sharing hardships countless times."

"This bond and affection are higher than the sky, deeper than the sea. Even without mission rewards, I would still help you with translations."

The implication is the worry that Ma Ran’s making too much advanced energy food might exhaust his foundation, causing regression in his own realm, and even affecting future cultivation.

In Su Qiangwei’s view, this method is equivalent to a higher-level, more convenient, and gentler Inner Qi Hall, benefiting one side while naturally causing loss to the other.

Though she doesn’t want to admit it, her rationality tells her that the current Earth needs Ma Ran to bear the burden.

Although Gray, the ’God’, is also very powerful, his superpower erosion has gradually divinized him, losing his human emotions. At a glance, he’s unreliable and can’t really protect the Earth.

Currently, even Master Qiangwei cannot match up to Ma Xiansheng temporarily.

The word "temporarily" deserves emphasis.

The confident Su Qiangwei absolutely refuses to drag down this little partner of hers.

Hearing this, Ma Ran glanced at the girl with a peculiar look and chuckled, "Don’t worry, I have a measure."

With the support of the "Sword Master", "Devil’s Son", and "Profound Immortal" medals, and having devoured all of Feng Yuji’s life force, Ma Ran’s foundation is now thick and solid. Even if he creates Star Power food for Su Qiangwei every day, as long as he rests one day a month, there won’t be any problems.

Moreover...

Ma Ran doesn’t really need cultivation.

His realm advancement has nothing to do with comprehension, foundation, accumulation, roots, adventures, or opportunities.

He only needs to "play" and gain a sufficient number and quality of "audiences" recognition to continuously become stronger in an all-rounded perfect advancement!

Every advancement through "playing" compensates for any prior losses, restoring to a perfect state.

This is what Ma Ran confirmed after countless scientific tests.

"I’ve duplicated ’Cellular Immortality’ and several life-extending superpowers through ’Myriad Transformations’."

Su Qiangwei’s eyes sharpened, focusing on Ma Ran, gritting her teeth and saying, "Barring any accidents, my lifespan should be about seven hundred and seventy years now."

"So..."

"For the next period, let’s swap identities!"

She didn’t wait for Ma Ran to respond before explaining, "Last time, when we counterattacked the Eternal Civilization Main Base, you used Inner Qi to create a fake self that deceived Old Huang. When we got back, he was furious and scolded me, saying I used superpowers to cover for you."

"In fact, I’m very clear that it was just some high-end Inner Qi manipulation you created."

"I didn’t explain it back then and just took the blame for you."

"It’s been so long, your ’Disguise and Transformation’ techniques should be more advanced by now, right?"

"So..."

"For the next few months, you live as me!"

"And I will maintain ’Form Assimilation’ to disguise as you."

Su Qiangwei sighed and said softly, "Those two octopus people’s target is you, and they are very cautious, not revealing their combat plans. There’s no telling when or how they will act."

"It’s better to act than to defend endlessly with no end in sight."

"I’ll disguise as you, misleading those two octopus people to use the ’Life Span Burning’ ability on me."

"According to the intelligence we just gathered, they can burn a century of life in just one second."

"If the target is me, I can probably endure for at least seven seconds."

"I believe..."

"With your vigilance and reaction speed, you won’t slip up at the critical moment."

"Seven seconds should be enough for you to incapacitate them!"

Upon saying this, the girl smiled with raised lips: "Honestly, from my personal perspective, I’m quite interested in seeing you cross-dress."

Su Qiangwei rubbed her chin, looking Ma Ran up and down: "That face, that dewy, tender skin."

"In women’s clothes, it should be very cute."

That’s the truth.

Seeing Su Qiangwei’s worried yet pretending-to-be-relaxed appearance, Ma Ran chuckled softly, "I don’t actually mind cross-dressing."

"However, you might not see it this time."

"While you were dazed earlier, I contacted the Profound Immortal."

"He has already found a solution."

After drinking Brotherhood Wine at Wudang Mountain, his luck surged. Through the "Prophet" medal, Ma Ran saw those two octopus people’s civilization, still a haze, temporarily known as the ’’Sea Demon Civilization".

In the vast cosmos, among various extraordinary abilities, some criss-crossing attributes don’t necessarily decide a superior-subordinate relationship, while others are extremely dominant, just like the Enclosure Text’s supreme suppression on the Dream Race.

The two immortals from the Sea Demon Civilization thought they could perfectly restrain Ma Ran, but in reality, they were just hitting an iron wall.
