CHAPTER 33: CHAPTER 32: UNDER DEVELOPMENT, PILLAR, NATIONAL GUARDIAN!

Those who met the standard were escorted by the young soldiers in military uniform towards the area where the "Victory Stone" was kept.

Inside the dark green off-road vehicle.

Su Qiangwei looked at Wu Di, who was sitting between her and Ma Ran, with disdain: "You didn’t meet the standard, what are you doing here?"

This level of sarcasm didn’t even scratch Wu Di, whose moral compass differed from ordinary people.

Without hesitation, he replied, "Don’t worry, I’m not interested in old women of seventeen."

Su Qiangwei: "???"

What’s wrong with being seventeen?

Did I eat your rice?

Perhaps their conversation was a bit too loud, as faint laughter came from He Nanguang in the car ahead.

Not knowing how much further they had to go, Wu Di couldn’t hold it in anymore after a while.

He looked at Su Qiangwei and asked, "I heard you used to be classmates with Brother Ran?"

Su Qiangwei had no time for this little brat.

She turned to Ma Ran: "Actually, I’ve been meaning to ask..."

"Did your [Limited Foreknowledge] show you what ability I awakened?"

Xiao Su, unlike Liu Huadie and He Nanguang,

immediately believed in the existence of [Limited Foreknowledge] the moment Ma Ran started joking.

That’s why she felt she was treated unfairly.

"I saw it."

Ma Ran opened the car window, taking a deep breath.

Visualizing the Enclosure Text in his mind was quite tiring, and he was just beginning to feel the fatigue, so it was a good opportunity to chat to relax his mind.

He calmly replied, "Although it’s not at the level of Omniscience, our current conversation is right within the scope of [Limited Foreknowledge]."

Su Qiangwei’s face turned dark: "Then why won’t you say it!"

Ma Ran pondered for a moment, not answering her question directly but asking in return: "Do you know how superpower levels are currently classified in our country?"

President Huang Weiguo in the co-driver’s seat took up the conversation, saying solemnly, "The classification of ability levels isn’t simply ABCD, nor is it甲,乙,丙,丁. Instead, they are divided into [Under Development] and [Pillar] levels."

Hearing this, Su Qiangwei nodded.

She understood!

To protect the fragile self-esteem of members of various academic societies, the big shots above paid great attention to detail.

Exceptional superpowers are rated as [Pillar].

Trash superpowers are rated as [Under Development].

I must admit...

This way of classification fits the national condition quite well.

Ma Ran nodded, looking at Su Qiangwei with a complicated expression: "Brother He and Sister Die’s abilities are both [Pillar] level."

"While your ability..."

Upon hearing this, Su Qiangwei’s heart started racing.

No way?

Could it be that she really awakened a trash superpower at the [Under Development] level?

Giving hope and then disappointing is the cruelest!

Ma Ran didn’t have the habit of leaving people hanging.

Before Su Qiangwei could think more, he said softly, "Your ability far exceeds the limit of the [Pillar] classification."

"Because of you, the various academic societies have decided to add a new level called [National Guardian] above [Under Development] and [Pillar]."

National Guardian.

This term gives off an overwhelming vibe, almost surreal.

Clearly, it’s on a different level compared to the other two classifications.

Su Qiangwei was dumbfounded.

She felt she should say something.

But when the words reached her mouth, they disappeared, leaving her mind blank.

National Guardian?

It felt like Ma Ran was playing a joke on her.

"[National Guardian] level..."

As the name implies, it should signify an ultimate ability that plays a major role in maintaining social stability and ensuring the country’s prosperity!

From Su Qiangwei’s limited knowledge and understanding...

Ma Ran’s [Limited Foreknowledge] barely seems worthy of those words!

Sitting in the passenger seat, President Huang’s reaction was even more intense than the person involved.

His lips trembled, fingers quivered, and his breathing became rapid.

Recently, in the United States, a superpower user called "GOD" had appeared.

Their ability was almost identical to God in the Bible.

They could freely summon or stop floods and tornadoes, turn stones into food and dirty water into clean water, resurrect three days after death...

Although the limits and costs of their powers were unknown, based on their demonstrated power, a hundred years ago, they could have single-handedly suppressed the world and truly been called a deity①!

After internal research and discussion, the big shots of the academic societies planned to add a classification above [Under Development] and [Pillar] to match "GOD."

Its name is...

[National Guardian]!

This proposal, which clearly defined the benefits, treatment, responsibilities, and obligations of superpower users at different levels, was still under consideration and hadn’t been formally passed.

After all, no superpower user of such a level had yet appeared within China.

"Good! Good! Good!"

President Huang was so excited he couldn’t speak, repeating "good" like a broken record.

His face was red, the wrinkles on his face more pronounced than usual, almost laughing to tears.

In Huang Weiguo’s mind, there was a very simple, clear logic chain!

Ma Ran knew about the proposal that was still highly classified.

Therefore, his foreknowledge ability truly existed.

Therefore, what he said was highly credible!

Thus proved: Ma Ran = National Guardian, and Su Qiangwei = National Guardian!

Yet Su Qiangwei had no self-awareness of becoming someone important.

She nervously asked, "What exactly is my superpower? Be specific!"

As soon as she spoke, the wheels stopped moving.

The convoy had reached the center of the Grass Hut Academy’s restricted area.

Here, the vehicles could go no further; they needed to walk on foot.

Following closely behind Ma Ran, Su Qiangwei transformed into a curious child: "You seem unwilling to answer my earlier question..."

"I get it!"

"In the ’future’ of [Limited Foreknowledge], you didn’t answer my question, did you?"

"Are you trying not to change the future?"

"Speaking of which, what is the ’price’ you’ve always mentioned before?"

Ma Ran did not answer but looked calmly at President Huang.

Comrade Huang suddenly got it, nodding knowingly: "Let me explain this!"

The Grass Hut Academy in Hubei and the Fulan Academy in Anhui were similar, both planning to embark on a dual Extraordinary Route from the beginning, advancing two power systems hand in hand.

Far away in Sichuan, the Qinglian Academy members solely focused on the Black Rock Monument Martial Arts System, concentrating on cultivating Inner Qi.

The Yingchuan Academy in Henan was dedicated to researching superpowers, gathering a wealth of data and advanced experience in this area.

During the data exchange with the Yingchuan Academy, Old Huang obtained a lot of important intelligence.

He had been hesitating whether to hold back this intelligence and wait for the right time to inform the members.

Now, Old Huang made up his mind to share the intelligence he just obtained with the young people during their journey.

"The law regarding superpowers currently has only one tenet..."

President Huang Weiguo said gravely, "To gain something, something must be lost!

Just getting out of the car, Liu Huadie, He Nanguang, Su Qiangwei, and Wu Di, who was just making up numbers, all gathered around, listening attentively.

——

①, Deity(qí), "God" refers to heavenly gods, "Deity" refers to earth gods, and "Deity" generally refers to deities.

Note: 祗(zhī), respectful. "Deity(zhī)" is an incorrect usage and the term does not exist.
