Inner Qi Genius

Buzz!

The Black Rock Stele suddenly emitted a buzzing sound, breaking the silent atmosphere in the lecture hall.

Everyone immediately focused their attention on it, discovering that a faint blue light was swirling around the Black Rock Stele, like brilliant stars. The surrounding water vapor was dense, and the air humidity had noticeably increased.

At this moment, a hoarse, ancient male voice suddenly came from the inscription.

"&%……#￥("

The male voice uttered many garbled sentences, but no one present understood a single word.

They could vaguely discern an emotion called hatred.

The members of the academic societies all turned their gazes to Huang Weiguo.

Old Huang's forehead began to sweat.

He had never encountered this situation before!

He hadn't seen any similar phenomena in the archives either!

Academic societies like Qinglian, Fulan, and Yingchuan had no prior experience to draw upon in this regard.

Fortunately!

There were pre-prepared audio files!

"Please wait a moment!"

Huang Weiguo said as he took out his phone and opened an app called "Dajiang."

He uploaded the audio file and provided a brief text description of Ma Ran's situation.

"Our supernatural analysis department has already begun researching languages, scripts, and patterns from outer space."

"Although no one can communicate normally in this language yet, simple translation and audio-to-text conversion are still possible."

After waiting for less than thirty seconds, a voice filled with hatred came from his phone.

It was the same male voice.

However, this time it spoke Mandarin, which everyone could understand.

"By the time you hear this, I will have died in battle."

"Practice my Martial Way and bear my karma."

"You, who have received my complete inheritance, naturally bear the mission to avenge me."

"Cultivate diligently!"

"Strive to surpass the limitations of the Martial Way Nine Stages as soon as possible!"

"Demons from beyond the heavens will sooner or later descend upon the planet you inhabit."

"As much as possible…"

"Kill them!"

Listening carefully, one could hear a hint of unwillingness and longing within these words filled with hatred.

This message contained a lot of information.

Everyone's gaze suddenly focused on Ma Ran.

The "you" mentioned in this voice could only be Ma Ran.

However…

The male voice mentioned the words "complete inheritance," implying that Ma Ran had indeed accurately calculated all five hundred and twelve acupoints in just one hour!

Although some people still had doubts, most of the people present had already begun to believe it.

"A small gain."

A faint light flickered in Ma Ran's eyes.

Within his field of vision, a mass of crimson liquid metal suddenly appeared, slowly condensing into a medal the color of red copper.

With a slight concentration of his attention, Ma Ran knew its name.

[Inner Qi Genius].

The style of this medal was far inferior to that of [Demon of Scholars].

However, Ma Ran was certain that it would be upgraded before long.

The "leeks" harvested in this wave were not only the members and staff present, but also the staff of other institutions at the same level as Caolu Academy.

This performance had not yet been fully disseminated through the "Dajiang" app, and its influence was still fermenting.

Even so, the proliferation ability called [Inner Qi Genius] caused Ma Ran's physique to change.

Originally, Ma Ran's aptitude for cultivating inner energy could only be described as that of a normal person, placing him in the middle tier.

"Blinking into the Second Stage" was just a trick, an illusion.

It was the result of previous accumulation.

The noteworthy aspect is that the inner energy conversion process doesn't require specific postures, like sitting cross-legged with the "five hearts facing the sky."

A slight concentration of attention is all that's needed!

Seven days have passed since Ma Ran's rebirth!

During this time, he has spent nearly twenty hours every day cultivating inner energy!

Eating a lot!

Cultivating desperately!

Even during the temporary exams, Ma Ran quickly finished answering the questions and continued to accumulate inner energy.

Only when his body was extremely fatigued would he temporarily set aside inner energy cultivation to study the You script.

Why did Ma Ran decide to present himself as a taciturn and aloof person?

It was precisely to save as much time as possible to convert inner energy!

In just seven days, cultivating inner energy to the second stage was the limit of what Ma Ran could achieve!

Such desperate effort couldn't be maintained indefinitely.

Now, Ma Ran no longer needed to strive so hard.

The most powerful aspect of the [Acting] ability is...

Simply establishing a widely recognized persona is enough!

By pretending to have immense talent, perseverance, and willpower, and working harder than anyone else, new medal abilities will be acquired quickly!

The first stage of the "False Sage" script, the genius persona, has already been established.

Starting from scratch is the most difficult.

The next stage is the harvest.

After a brief attempt, Ma Ran immediately concluded that the efficiency of converting nutrients like sugar, fat, and protein into inner energy had increased threefold compared to before!

If Ma Ran had possessed the [Inner Qi Genius] amplification ability from the start, based on his efforts during this period, going from zero to the second stage of inner energy...

Would have only taken about two and a half days!

"Inheritance, karma, demons from beyond the heavens..."

President Huang Weiguo's expression was somewhat grim after hearing the words filled with hatred and unwillingness.

Starting four months ago, many uncontrollable dangerous factors began appearing globally, accompanied by supernatural phenomena.

The so-called "uncontrollable dangerous factors" did not originate from Earthlings who had gained superpowers, but from extraterrestrials coveting Earth!

Just how strong are these "demons from beyond the heavens" that the person who left the Black Rock Stele could only say "kill as many as possible"?

He didn't even dare to say the word "kill them all"!

Clearly, he lacked confidence.

Could Earth's technology and military capabilities handle these "demons from beyond the heavens"?

While Huang Weiguo was lost in thought, Ma Ran stared intently at the Black Rock Stele.

He understood this Black Rock Stele better than anyone else.

This stone tablet was imbued with a trace of alien origin, equivalent to a shining little light bulb in the endless dark universe.

The person who left this message, mentioning "demons from beyond the heavens," would use the Black Rock Stele to search for and lock onto Earth's location.

The Black Rock Stele could be considered a method of diverting disaster, or it could be the last ember of martial way civilization.

It could be understood either way.

Setting aside whether current technological means possessed the ability to destroy it...

Even if they did, how could global nations be persuaded to make the same decision?

China was not the only one to obtain these stone tablets.

As long as even one stone tablet was preserved, all the efforts of other countries would be in vain.

It would be better to turn waste into treasure and utilize it properly.

Ma Ran didn't have strong feelings, either positive or negative, towards the person who created the Black Rock Martial Way Stele and left behind the last words.

At least they didn't hide anything, clearly informing you that "demons from beyond the heavens" would come knocking, which was quite forthright.

Compared to the Black Rock Martial Way inheritance, the conspiracies and schemes hidden within the superpower awakening path were more insidious and vicious!

"Hoo..."

Ma Ran let out a breath, his mind racing with thoughts.

"I need to speed things up."

The calamities that Earth was about to face were simply too numerous!

Too many problems don't cause more worry; too much debt doesn't add to the burden.

An additional extraordinary path meant one more sliver of struggle and resistance for Earth's civilization.

Hahaha, second update complete! Requesting recommendation tickets!

See you all tomorrow, little friends!
