Guangyu Academy.

One and a half hours remain before the official distribution of the "Seven Vortex Swordsmanship Adventure".

In a palace designated as the exclusive dormitory for the "Martial God".

Su Qiangwei, holding a long halberd, is earnestly learning new abilities, blades spinning at her fingertips, howling like thunder, tearing through the air.

The original Water Quality Thunder Spear was modified with two sets of crescent-shaped branches into the form of a great halberd.

Although Su Qiangwei is proud, she does not consider learning to be anything shameful.

Learn, imitate, think, summarize, innovate, and achieve surpassing!

The girl believes that arrogance only leads to the downfall of the strong; only by maintaining a humble heart, like Ma Ran, and continuously improving, can one hope to surpass that bastard.

It’s worth mentioning that...

The three abruptly appearing Red Lotus Secret Manuals, after being fully read by Su Qiangwei, naturally self-immolated and disappeared without a trace.

If it weren’t for Su Qiangwei’s "Myriad Transformations" superpower of Memory, she might be in a tough spot now.

"Is this what is meant by ’secrets not shared with outsiders’?"

While wielding the long halberd, with elements of wind, fire, thunder, and electricity swirling and flickering at her fingertips, the girl muttered to herself, "A stable Extraordinary civilization, to prevent being targeted and deciphered by hostile civilizations, to seal off the weaknesses and defects of fundamental laws, is much like a technological civilization’s restriction on technology. It indeed has its necessity, not just keeping treasures to oneself."

zzz...

Dazzling starlight appeared before Su Qiangwei, slowly condensing into a human shape.

A youth with black and white hair, handsome and otherworldly, with a demeanor as calm as facing the collapse of Mount Tai.

It was none other than Ma Ran’s Star Power Incarnation!

Su Qiangwei was not surprised.

When Ma Ran reached "Burning Martial" Twenty Ranks, he already possessed the method of Star Power Incarnation, in no way inferior to the "Incarnation" superpower Su Qiangwei acquired through "Myriad Transformations". He could multitask, appearing in different scenes simultaneously and handling numerous matters.

"Cultivation should balance work and rest; being too harsh on oneself can actually lower training efficiency."

As he spoke, Ma Ran reached out with a finger and tapped Su Qiangwei’s forehead out of thin air.

A light breeze spun gently, lifting the strands of hair on the girl’s forehead.

Warm blue light slowly merged into the girl’s body, replenishing her energy and physical strength while simultaneously restoring her slightly fatigued spirit to peak condition.

"Tsk..."

Su Qiangwei’s eyes showed some panic, struggling to maintain a straight face, she activated the "Warm-blooded Animals" superpower to cool herself down, and changed the subject: "For this Seven Vortex Swordsmanship Adventure, it seems I can only watch from the sidelines."

Saying this, the girl pressed an imaginary hand at her side, holding the long halberd upside down in one hand, chin slightly raised, awkwardly imitating a certain Cangming Overlord, and said in a melodic half-childish tone: "You have already mastered the three basic laws, completing the Foundation Establishment stage, now, learn the halberd with me."

"You have prior experience with the spear, so you will learn quickly."

"The halberd technique itself is the easiest part to master, you just need to proficiently chop, stab, hook, slice, poke, hang, block, thrust, return, horizontal strike, chop, pull, hack, cut, flat hook, nail, flip, jab, and direct chop to be functional."

"Before reaching the realm of Commanding All Laws, the most taboo thing is to bite off more than you can chew."

"In two days, you can observe the Swordsmanship Secret Realm, but... do not participate."

After speaking, Su Qiangwei shrugged, sighed, and her tone returned to normal: "Too overbearing, too forceful, there’s no room to argue at all!"

Ma Ran was earnest: "She’s right, the immediate priority is to efficiently enhance strength, not to be greedy for more."

"The fan of that Princess of Evil, the Middle Rank God..."

"Could descend at any moment."

Su Qiangwei raised her eyebrows, her eyes alight with battle intent: "Bring it on! I’m only worried he will come too late, unable to withstand even one move from me by then!"

Though she was forcibly recruited as "Spear-Bearer" by the Lord of the Red Lotus, Su Qiangwei was initially reluctant, but after these days, she has to admit, Ye Fengqing truly has great skills!

True Inheritance consists of a single sentence, while false teachings are a thousand words!

With just a few casual pointers, Su Qiangwei felt her strength improving by leaps and bounds, even the several hundred seemingly unrelated superpowers acquired through "Myriad Transformations" started to feel integrated and unified.

She even feels that the three secret manuals given by the Lord of the Red Lotus seem to be tailor-made for her, the compatibility is exceedingly high!

However, speaking of it, that fan of the Princess of Evil, the Middle Rank God, supposedly is coming to Earth for revenge, yet the time of his descent is entirely unknown.

Ma Ran immediately used the "Foreknowledge" ability, setting conditions to observe the future, but found that the variables brought by a Middle Rank God were too many and too significant. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The futures Ma Ran could observe had countless possibilities, completely indeterminate!

However, at least two points can be confirmed.

First, that Middle Rank God will disregard virtue and etiquette, he will attempt to assassinate Su Qiangwei and the Guardians assisting her then through a surprise attack.

Second, the sneak attack will be launched within seventeen days, that Middle Rank God will avenge his idol, Evil, before the Divine Court formally attacks Earth.

Su Qiangwei herself, however, seemed extremely calm about this.

Increase vigilance during this time? Intensify training?

There is no such need.

She has never relaxed her vigilance, nor has she ever slacked off.

Suddenly, Su Qiangwei seemed to think of something, looked around, and secretly patted Ma Ran’s back, activating the "Unity" ability. Her voice echoed directly in his heart: "Ma Ran, become my ’Kitchen Boy’!"

"Once I’ve extracted all of Granny Ye’s skills, I’ll teach you everything!"

...

Meanwhile.

"I came here today, not because I wanted to, but because I was coerced by that Lord of the Red Lotus!"

An odd accent and rigid tone of Mandarin abruptly echoed throughout the entire Guangyu Academy.

The crowd followed the sound to find that the speaker was a young white man with platinum hair and dressed in medieval noble attire:

"I am fundamentally uninterested in any dogshit Sword Dao and dogshit adventures!"

"For an Arcane Mage, there are only temporarily undefeated opponents in the world, no invincible enemies!"

"Prophet Ma Ran..."

"I’ve heard from Arnold, Chris, Guo Feilin, George, Tie Shan, and Orlov that you’re strong, even stronger than all of us combined."

"I don’t believe it."

"Come!"

"Today, I will show you how ridiculous and laughable brute force is in front of the profound truth of Arcane Magic!"
