Fragment Prophet

Su Qiangwei, Liu Huadie, and He Nanguang looked dazed, their expressions shifting rapidly.

Sadness, joy, pain, hatred, rage, contentment...

Almost every emotion that humans could express appeared in quick succession.

Ma Ran remained calm, merely observing from the side.

Why was there a test before the supernatural ability awakening?

Did Director Huang have nothing better to do and just wanted to add an extra step to torment everyone?

The answer was clearly no.

The danger contained within the Victory Encounter Stones was far greater than that of the alien masks used as testing props!

If one became lost, their spirit would shatter instantly, turning them into a bloody pulp on the spot.

This was a conspiracy woven by the LX93 aliens.

Individuals who did not meet the conditions would be judged as inferior by the Victory Encounter Stones, unable to become "signal sources," and would thus be "eliminated."

As for those who met the conditions, while they awakened their supernatural abilities, they also became tools exploited by the LX93 aliens.

In reality...

Every successful superpowered individual was essentially a signal transmitter!

This had nothing to do with natural awakening or artificially induced awakening.

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

No!

It wasn't!

Ma Ran knew very well that the so-called natural awakeners were merely bait laid by the LX93 aliens to lure the fish!

There was no fundamental difference between the two.

The reason for not destroying these Victory Encounter Stones was the same as for preserving the Black Rock Stele—who could guarantee that other countries would destroy these things as thoroughly as you did, leaving not a single one behind?

If that couldn't be guaranteed, then similar actions were meaningless.

"..."

Ma Ran noticed that after several breaths, four Victory Encounter Stones reappeared within the octagonal ancient well.

From this perspective, the Victory Encounter Stones were inexhaustible and would never be depleted.

However, their existence was limited to a three-meter radius around the ancient well; they would automatically dissipate if they exceeded this range.

Under Director Huang's command, the three reserve ability users, looking somewhat exhausted, retreated from the vicinity of the octagonal ancient well.

Only then did they have the leisure to comprehend and understand their newly acquired superpowers.

"Aero-control..."

He Nanguang closed his eyes, and a vortex formed beneath his feet, lifting him slowly into the air. He hovered three meters above the ground.

"It's actually Aero-control!"

Unskilled with his newly acquired ability and overwhelmed with emotion, He Nanguang fell from the sky.

Bang!

A dull thud.

Because he possessed the cultivation of two stages of inner energy, He Nanguang, despite falling heavily, was not injured.

He sprang to his feet with a powerful surge, his gaze fixed on Ma Ran. "So... the [Limited Precognition] ability is real!"

He Nanguang felt his worldview and understanding being completely overturned.

Flying without external aid!

This had been humanity's long-held dream!

And today, he had successfully realized that dream!

What was the principle behind this?

He couldn't understand it at all!

"Can you hear my voice?"

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

He whipped his head around, only to notice that the leader of Fulan Academy hadn't spoken aloud.

He Nanguang observed that the content Liu Huadie had conveyed was entirely different from how ordinary people spoke.

It hadn't followed the normal path of sound waves—outer ear—ear canal—eardrum—middle ear—perilymph—nerve impulse—auditory center.

Her voice had resonated directly within his mind!

"It's just as Ma Ran predicted."

"My ability is called [Concentric]."

"Anyone whose appearance and name I know, I can transmit information to unilaterally, regardless of distance."

Liu Huadie's voice echoed in the minds of everyone present.

"However, I haven't mastered the [Concentric] ability very skillfully yet, and transmitting information to ten people simultaneously is already my limit."

"The more people, the farther the distance, the greater the price I have to pay."

Liu Huadie didn't directly state what price she had to pay.

After finishing her transmission, Liu Huadie's lips turned a purplish-blue, and her eyes were a bit dim, indicating she had been considerably drained.

But the way she looked at Ma Ran was extremely complex.

Liu Huadie's perception had been completely overturned.

Precognition actually existed!

Ma Ran ignored the gazes of everyone present.

He seemed lost in thought, his vision scattered, focusing on a strange spot.

In Ma Ran's field of vision, a mass of reddish-bronze liquid metal suddenly appeared, slowly melting and forming the shape of a medal.

With a slight focus of his attention, he immediately learned the name and function of this medal.

[Fragment Prophet]!

Upon obtaining this medal, Ma Ran also acquired the corresponding proliferation ability – Precognition!

However, this precognition ability had a slight difference from the persona he had established.

It didn't have the side effect of overdrawing his lifespan, but its effectiveness was also slightly weakened.

At this stage, by paying about half of his inner energy and stamina, he could randomly capture one or two fleeting glimpses of future scenes.

Ma Ran wasn't too bothered by these details.

As a reborn individual, he already had foresight. Without any butterfly effect, this new ability was temporarily just icing on the cake, useful for correcting mistakes.

Since the medal had appeared, he just needed to find a way to upgrade it later.

His current focus wasn't on this.

Ma Ran narrowed his eyes slightly.

Before his rebirth, he believed that the proliferation ability of [Acting] was directly proportional to the number of people who acknowledged him.

Later, he discovered that things weren't that simple.

Precognition was a superpower related to the domain of time!

Even [Fragment Prophet], which sounded less flashy, was by no means a low-tier ability!

How many people had acknowledged his previous performances?

Including all the members and staff of Caolu Academy and Fulan Academy, it wouldn't exceed a thousand!

Originally, Ma Ran thought it would take a considerable amount of time for this performance to ferment before he could see any results.

But now…

The medal and proliferation ability named [Fragment Prophet] had indeed appeared before him!

"Perhaps it's also related to acting skills and performance effectiveness?"

"Hmm?"

"My train of thought was wrong!"

Ma Ran's expression was blank, but his thoughts flashed like lightning: "These do have an impact, but they aren't the deciding factors."

Under the enhancement of the [Demon of Scholars] medal, his thoughts raced, and all memories from his past and present life surfaced.

Each performance became a comparative option.

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

The biggest influencing factor was the individual differences of the "audience"!

The value of each audience member in the judgment of the [Acting] ability was completely different.

The people around him, such as Huang Weiguo, Su Qiangwei, Wu Di, Liu Huadie, and He Nanguang, should have extremely high value as "audience members."

Of course…

This was just a hypothesis, and it still needed more practical verification.

"Hoo…"

Liu Huadie, not far away, let out a deep sigh.

Due to extreme fatigue, she no longer had the energy to use [Concentric] for the time being.

She turned her head to look at Su Qiangwei and asked directly, "The [Nation Supporter] level superpower that Ma Ran mentioned…"

"What exactly is it?"

A new day begins with this chapter!!
