The few who met the standard, escorted by the young men in military uniforms, proceeded towards the area where the "Victory Encounter Stones" were kept.

Inside the dark green off-road vehicle.

Su Qiangwei looked at Wu Di, who was sitting between her and Ma Ran, with a look of disdain. "You didn't meet the standard, so why are you here?"

This level of mockery was completely ineffective against Wu Di, whose values were different from ordinary people.

He replied without hesitation, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in women as old as seventeen."

Su Qiangwei: "???"

What's wrong with being seventeen?

Did I eat your rice?

Perhaps because their conversation was a bit too loud, a faint laugh from He Nanguang could be heard from the car ahead.

Not knowing how much further they had to go, Wu Di, after holding back for a long time, couldn't resist anymore.

He looked at Su Qiangwei and asked, "I heard you were classmates with Brother Ran before?"

Su Qiangwei couldn't be bothered to deal with this brat.

She turned to look at Ma Ran and said, "Actually, I wanted to ask you before..."

"Did your [Limited Precognition] see what ability I awakened?"

Little Su, unlike Liu Huadie and He Nanguang, had believed in the existence of [Limited Precognition] the moment Ma Ran started spouting nonsense.

Because of this, she felt she had been treated unfairly.

"I saw it."

Ma Ran opened the car window and took a deep breath.

Outlining the You script in his mind was quite energy-consuming. Now that he was feeling tired, it was a good time to chat with someone and relax his brain.

He replied calmly, "Although it's not to the level of omniscience, our current conversation falls within the scope of [Limited Precognition]."

Su Qiangwei's face darkened. "Then why don't you say it!"

Ma Ran pondered for a moment, not answering her question directly, and replied with a question, "Do you know how superpowers are classified in our country at this stage?"

Director Huang, in the passenger seat, picked up the conversation and said solemnly, "The classification of ability levels is not a simple and crude ABCD or Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding. Instead, it's divided into two tiers: [To Be Developed] and [Pillar]."

Hearing this, Su Qiangwei nodded.

She understood!

To protect the fragile self-esteem of members from various academic societies, the higher-ups paid great attention to details.

Excellent superpowers were rated as [Pillar].

Trash superpowers were rated as [To Be Developed].

It had to be admitted...

This classification method was quite fitting for the national conditions.

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

"As for your ability..."

As he said this, Su Qiangwei's heart began to race.

No way?

Could it be that she had really awakened a trash superpower of the [To Be Developed] level?

Giving hope and then dashing it was the most cruel thing!

Ma Ran had no habit of keeping people in suspense.

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

"Because of you, all the academic societies have decided to add a new tier called [Nation Supporter] above [To Be Developed] and [Pillar]."

[Nation Supporter].

The name itself sounded incredibly powerful, almost surreal.

Its prestige was clearly on a different level compared to the other two tiers.

Su Qiangwei's expression turned blank.

She felt she should say something.

But the words disappeared before they reached her lips, her mind a complete blank.

[Nation Supporter]?

She felt like Ma Ran was playing a trick on her.

"[Nation Supporter] level..."

As the name suggests, it should be an ultimate ability that plays a significant role in maintaining social stability and ensuring the prosperous development of the country!

Based on Su Qiangwei's limited knowledge and understanding...

Ma Ran's [Limited Precognition] can barely be considered worthy of those two words!

Director Huang, sitting in the passenger seat, reacted more strongly than the person directly involved.

His lips moved, his fingers trembled slightly, and his breathing became rapid.

In the United States, a superpower user known as "GOD" recently emerged.

That person's abilities were almost identical to the God described in the Bible.

They could freely summon or quell floods and tornadoes at will, transform stones into food, turn sewage into clean water, and resurrect three days after death...

Although the limitations and costs of that person's abilities are unknown, based on the power they have displayed so far, a century ago, they would have possessed the power to suppress the entire world single-handedly. They could completely be called a deity!

After internal research and discussion, the leaders of several academic societies planned to add a new level corresponding to "GOD" above [To Be Developed] and [Pillar].

Its name is...

[Nation Supporter]!

This proposal, which clearly details the benefits, treatment, responsibilities, and obligations of different levels of superpower users, is currently still pending and has not been officially passed.

After all, no superpower user of that level has appeared in China yet.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Director Huang was so excited he could barely speak, repeating the word "good" like a broken record.

His face was flushed red, the wrinkles on his face more prominent than usual, and he almost cried with laughter.

In Huang Weiguo's view, there was a very simple and clear chain of logic here!

Ma Ran knew about the proposal, which was still in a highly encrypted state.

Therefore, his precognition ability truly existed.

Therefore, what he said was highly credible!

Thus, it was proven: Ma Ran = Nation Supporter, and Su Qiangwei = Nation Supporter!

However, Su Qiangwei had no awareness of becoming a big shot.

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

As soon as she finished speaking, the car wheels stopped turning.

The convoy had already reached the center of the Caolu Academy's blockade zone.

From here, vehicles could no longer proceed, and they would have to disembark and walk.

Su Qiangwei followed closely behind Ma Ran, turning into a curious baby: "You don't seem very willing to answer my previous question..."

"I get it!"

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

"Are you trying not to change the future?"

"By the way, what exactly is the 'cost' you've been mentioning?"

Ma Ran didn't answer, merely looking calmly at Director Huang.

Comrade Old Huang shivered, understanding immediately: "Let me explain this!"

The Caolu Academy in Hubei and the Fulan Academy in Anhui were similar, both intending to pursue a dual supernatural path from the very beginning, with both major power systems advancing side by side.

The Green Lotus Academic Society in Sichuan focused on the Black Rock Stele martial arts system, concentrating on cultivating inner energy.

The Yingchuan Academy in Henan specialized in superpowers, acquiring a large amount of data and advanced experience in this field.

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

He had initially been hesitant, unsure whether to hold back this information and reveal it to the members when the time was right.

Now, Old Huang had made up his mind and decided to share the intelligence he had just obtained with the young people present while they were traveling.

"There is currently only one law of superpowers..."

Director Huang Weiguo said with a heavy tone: "Gain must come with loss!

Liu Huadie, He Nanguang, Su Qiangwei, who had just gotten out of the car, and Wu Di, who was just there to make up the numbers, all gathered around, listening intently.

--- ① Deity (qí): "神" refers to celestial gods, and "祇" refers to earth gods. "神祇" collectively refers to deities. Tip: 祗 (zhī) means respectful. "神祗 (zhī)" is an incorrect usage; the word does not exist.
