My Ability Is Role-playing-Chapter 241 - 240: Who Is Stronger, Sword Master or Demon Scion?

The defense power of the whole body equally improves.

It sounds very ordinary, unremarkable, seemingly nothing significant.

But in reality?

After receiving the second ability augmentation of the [Arrogant Physique], Ma Ran's originally soft and fragile internal organs and brain were no longer his flaws and weaknesses, requiring no extra Inner Qi to specifically protect them.

Even if someone awakened a superpower that directly bypasses body surface defenses to attack his body's internal organs, it would have no effect.

Even if a bullet from Dragon Hunting bypassed the skin, bones, and other natural human defense barriers to hit Ma Ran's heart, kidney, or liver, it would merely make a "ding" sound before being crushed into powder by the natural peristalsis of the viscera and muscles, then expelled from the body through the circulatory system.

At this point, we must mention the third ability offered by the [Arrogant Physique] medal—super toxin immunity!

Those super toxins, which are deadly to ordinary people and even Extraordinary Ones, regardless of their type, have no effect on Ma Ran.

Unless he gulped down bottles of poison, he might only experience negative reactions like diarrhea.

A small amount of deadly toxin, to today's Ma Ran, is akin to a special seasoning.

If an example of this "small amount" must be given...

One kilogram of anthrax toxin, plus one kilogram of botulinum type a toxin, would meet this "small amount" standard.

Even the highly radioactive "plutonium," Ma Ran could eat like an ordinary expired snack, crunching and swallowing forcibly.

From this perspective, Ma Ran has entirely stepped out of the normal human realm, truly patching the final weaknesses and consolidating a perfect foundation.

From soul to body, there are no flaws to speak of!

To claim there has been a qualitative change in combat power, achieving a leap in enhancement, is too exaggerated.

In reality, it hasn't reached that level.

It's just that from now on, Ma Ran's strength will become more all-encompassing, with no dead angles, with no vulnerabilities or defects for enemies to exploit.

The appearance of the [Arrogant Physique] medal was always anticipated by Ma Ran.

However...

It has come together earlier than expected.

After tilting his head and thinking briefly, Ma Ran casually opened several Extraordinary-themed forums and threads, quickly browsing through them.

"I see."

"Understood."

The emergence of any medal cannot do without the process of acting and feedback.

After this process concludes, what specific feedback ability or value-added medal emerges is only fifty percent within Ma Ran's control as the lead actor.

The other half depends on the audience.

Previously, after publicly executing dozens of alien invaders as an "Academic Society member," the detailed process of the Grass Hut Battle began to be publicly disclosed to society.

Once the specific details were known, it sparked a significant uproar in society, with various self-media and journalists following up, using imagination and fabrication to write numerous plausible news stories such as "Details of the Grass Hut Battle."

In the official reports, Prophet Ma Ran and Martial God Su Qiangwei were indispensable characters of the "main cast."

Meanwhile, the battle's protagonist was "Demon Child Zhang Kuang," an interstellar friend from Cangming Star.

In such propaganda, any fabrication must base itself on this.

Thus...

The Demon Child naturally became the focus of everyone's discussions.

The deeds, origins, and personality of this person began to spread widely.

As the second-generation ruler of Cangming Star, creator of the Blood Lotus Dynasty, a man who suppressed Cangming's hundreds, even if the Demon Child had no achievements, he naturally attracted topics.

Not to mention, he played a decisive role in the great victory of the "Grass Hut Battle."

In this kind of public opinion background, the combat power of the Demon Child became much talked about.

The formation of the [Arrogant Physique] medal must thank the power level faction's fighting posts.

Some posted saying Sword Master Lin Qiubai was invincible in the world, the strongest of all times in Cangming Star, the first man who accomplished great unification, with an exalted status, akin to Ancestral Dragon Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, who ended the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period.

Immediately, someone replied saying the Demon Child was the pride of the new era. The Yangtze River overtakes its predecessors, the predecessors die on the beach, he not only spread the Sword Master's legacy across the world for anyone to cultivate, stirring up chaos, but also crushed various scholars, forcing them to submit or die, establishing the Blood Lotus Dynasty, a true man forged in blood and fire, with battle achievements more convincing.

Divergence in opinions indicates the emergence of contradictions.

And this is often the beginning of bickering.

Some praised Sword Master, saying Lin Qiubai split the sky with one sword, slashed the Eye-Stealing Monster, broke open the Demon Mountain, destroyed the Red Rock Giant, effortlessly resolving all calamities.

Then others praised Zhang Kuang's formidable physique, saying he tore apart an entire Eternal Civilization veteran legion with his bare hands, a man who could withstand a direct hit from the Sword Master's sword without injury, standing invincible.

Humans are creatures difficult to achieve mutual understanding and consensus.

The initial rational debate often starts with "Sword Master is only a remnant soul, not at full power; he can only use thirty percent of his combat power" and "the Demon Child lost his Lifebound Spiritual Soldier, with only twenty to thirty percent of his combat power available."

As the debate progresses, it turns into "Sword Master achieved the Perfect Sword, not only recovering to full power but even going further, replacing Cangming Heavenly Dao, the sword at the Demon Mountain was only at one percent of the Sword Master's current level" and "the Demon Child on Earth is not the real Demon Child, merely a thought incarnation, with only one-thousandth of his combat power."

In short, once true anger arises, die-hard fans of Sword Master and the Demon Child start inflating their combat power without limit.

Casually browsing, Ma Ran found dozens of posts with thousands of comments arguing.

Jumping directly to the end, one finds the Demon Child capable of swallowing numerous stars in one gulp.

And the Sword Master, able to obliterate multiverses with a single sword...

Ma Ran pondered for a long time, replying with "Both Sword Master and Demon Child are strong, but not as strong as you say," immediately getting backlashes—"What do you know about Sword Master/Demon Child? You don't know how terrifying his real power is! He's just vacationing on Earth!"

Afterward, Ma Ran closed the webpage with a complex expression.

How to put it...

Actually, he quite likes those who argue about power levels.

If people worldwide were like this, how could one worry about not achieving great success?

What bullshit Eternal Civilization, the Demon Child can blow them away from the root of the timeline, reducing them to civilizations "that never existed."

Unfortunately, such argumentative and skillful debaters are few among Earth's population.

Thus, one must take one step at a time, eat one bite at a time, and follow the script in the process of acting.

Though the [Acting] ability is potent, it also requires a sufficient number of quality audience members to provide enough feedback.

As sand sculpture netizens say, annihilating multiverses with a single thought, battling on high-dimensional timelines, whimsically overturning and reenacting All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds...

A bit too far off.
