CHAPTER 35: CHAPTER 34: FRAGMENT PROPHET

Su Qiangwei, Liu Huadie, and He Nanguang appeared dazed, their expressions rapidly changing.

Sorrow, joy, pain, hatred, fury, relief...

Almost every emotion expressible by humans surfaced in a short time.

Ma Ran seemed calm, merely observing quietly from the side.

Why must one first pass a test before the Superpower Awakening?

Is President Huang so bored that he has to create another procedure, just to trouble everyone?

The answer is clearly no.

The danger contained within the Victory Stone far exceeds that of the Alien Mask used as a test tool!

If lost, one’s spirit would shatter instantly, turning into a puddle of bloody mud on the spot.

This is the conspiracy web laid by the LX93 aliens.

Those who do not meet the standards are deemed inferior by the Victory Stone and cannot become a "signal source," resulting in being "eliminated."

And those who do meet the standards, upon awakening their superpower, also become a tool used by the LX93 aliens.

In reality...

Every successfully awakened Superpower User essentially becomes a signal transmitter!

This has no connection with natural or artificially induced awakening.

Is the so-called natural awakening truly "natural"?

No!

It is not!

Ma Ran knew that so-called natural Awakened ones were merely bait set by the LX93 aliens to lure the fish.

There is no fundamental difference between the two.

The reason for not destroying these Victory Stones is the same as preserving the Black Rock Stele—who can guarantee that other countries, like you, will destroy them all clean without leaving a single one?

If this cannot be guaranteed, then similar actions are meaningless.

"..."

Ma Ran noticed that several breaths later, four Victory Stones reemerged in the Octagonal Ancient Well.

From this perspective, the Victory Stones are endless and will never be exhausted.

However, their existence is confined to within three meters around this ancient well, once beyond this range, they dissipate automatically.

Three somewhat weary reserve Ability Users withdrew from the Octagonal Ancient Well’s range under President Huang’s command.

Only then did they have the leisure to perceive and understand the recently acquired superpowers.

"Yukong..."

He Nanguang closed his eyes, a vortex formed under his feet, and his entire body slowly ascended into the air, floating at a height of three meters from the ground.

"It’s really Yukong!"

Not yet proficient with the newly acquired power, the excited He Nanguang fell from the air.

Thud!

A muffled sound.

Thanks to the cultivation of Second Rank Inner Qi, He Nanguang fell solidly but was not injured.

He flipped up like a carp, his gaze focusing on Ma Ran: "So, the [Limited Foreknowledge] ability, is real!"

He Nanguang felt his views and understanding being overturned.

Flight without the aid of external force!

This has long been a human dream!

And today, he successfully realized this dream!

What exactly is the principle?

Completely incomprehensible!

"Can you hear my voice?"

Liu Huadie’s voice suddenly echoed in He Nanguang’s mind.

He turned around abruptly, noticing that this Fulan Academy’s leader hadn’t opened her mouth.

He Nanguang noticed that what Liu Huadie just expressed was completely different from how ordinary people speak.

It bypassed the usual path of sound waves—auricle—external auditory canal—eardrum—tympanic cavity—ear lymph fluid—nerve impulse—auditory center.

Her voice was directly heard in his inner mind!

"Just as Ma Ran predicted."

"My ability is called [Unity]."

"For anyone whose appearance and name I know, I can transmit information unilaterally, ignoring distance."

Liu Huadie’s voice resounded in everyone on the scene’s heart.

"However, right now, my mastery of the [Unity] ability is not pure, transmitting information to ten people at once is already my limit."

"The greater the number of people, the farther the distance, the greater the price I need to pay."

Liu Huadie did not explicitly state what price would have to be paid.

After transmitting the voice, Liu Huadie’s lips turned purple, her gaze slightly dim, seemingly consuming a lot.

Yet her gaze towards Ma Ran was extremely complex.

Liu Huadie’s understanding was overturned.

Foreknowledge, it indeed exists!

Ma Ran ignored the gazes of those present.

He seemed distracted, his vision unfocused, centered on a strange spot.

In Ma Ran’s field of vision, a glob of bronze-colored metal liquid suddenly appeared, slowly forming the shape of a medal.

With focused attention, he immediately learned the medal’s name and function.

[Fragment Prophet]!

With this medal, Ma Ran also gained the corresponding multiplication ability—Foreknowledge!

However, this foreknowledge ability slightly differs from his character setting.

It has no life-decaying side effects, yet its effectiveness is consequently reduced a bit.

At present, by paying half the Inner Qi and energy, he can randomly capture one or two fleeting scenes of the future.

Ma Ran wasn’t too concerned about these.

Reincarnators, naturally foreknowledge, without the butterfly effect, this new skill temporarily only complements to correct mistakes.

Since the medal has appeared, just find a way to upgrade it subsequently.

Now, his focus isn’t here.

Ma Ran squinted his eyes slightly.

Before rebirth, he believed the multiplication ability of [Play] correlated straightforwardly in direct proportion to the number of approvals.

Later, he realized it wasn’t that simple.

Foreknowledge involves a super ability related to the Time Domain!

Even if it doesn’t sound cool, [Fragment Prophet] isn’t some low-grade stuff!

Previously, how many members of the audience recognized his performance?

Counting all members and staff of Grass Hut Academy and Fulan Academy, it doesn’t exceed a thousand!

Initially, Ma Ran thought this performance would need some time to ferment before gaining something.

But now...

The medal and multiplication ability named [Fragment Prophet] have indeed appeared before him!

"Perhaps there’s also some connection to acting skill and performance effect?"

"Hmm?"

"Wrong approach!"

Ma Ran’s face was expressionless, yet thoughts flickered like Electric Fire Stone: "These indeed have an impact, but they’re not the decisive factors."

Under the {Academic Demon} medal’s blessing, his thoughts circulated rapidly, and past and present memories surfaced.

Every performance became a comparison option.

In less than three seconds, Ma Ran reached a conclusion.

The most influential factor is the individual difference of the "audience"!

Each audience member has a completely different value in the determination of the [Play] ability.

These people around him, like Huang Weiguo, Su Qiangwei, Wu Di, Liu Huadie, He Nanguang, should hold extremely high value as "audiences."

Of course...

This is just conjecture, requiring more practical verification.

"Phew..."

Not far away, Liu Huadie let out a deep breath.

Because of being overly exhausted, she temporarily no longer had the energy to use [Unity].

She tilted her head, looking at Su Qiangwei, and asked directly: "The [National Guardian] level superpower that Ma Ran mentioned..."

"What exactly is it?"
