Chapter 128: Chapter 127: Cellular Immortality; Extraordinary Popularization

Ma Ran’s current strength, the Reproduction Medal he acquired, and his performance are not enough to support the Sword Master to continue to manifest saintliness before others.

Therefore, the character of Lin Qiubai needs to temporarily leave the stage.

The one known as the Sword Master, with a turbulent fate, yet struggling against the heavens, proud and soaring—a saint—must wait until Ma Ran has grown strong enough before he can return.

With the journal in hand, Ma Ran slowly walked towards the reception hall.

Su Qiangwei had already gone there.

Judging by the time, the Superpower User with the title “God” should be arriving soon.

…

The makeshift Demon Mountain Hospital, two kilometers to the northwest.

In the reception hall.

Su Qiangwei quickly finished a small bag of pork jerky and twisted open the cap of a chilled bottle of cola.

Gulp gulp gulp gulp…

“Ah!”

Draining half a bottle of cola in one breath, Su Qiangwei’s eyes sparkled: “Refreshing!”

What is it like to be able to indulge in all kinds of delicacies without worrying about getting fat, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, or liver and gallbladder health issues?

Would one find all food in the world tasteless?

Su Qiangwei believed she was qualified to give an accurate answer—not at all!

The feeling of binging freely and still maintaining a perfect figure is indescribable!

“Sigh…”

Thinking about the Sword Master’s fate, the young girl suddenly found the pork jerky in her hand not as tasty.

Lin Qiubai might be just as annoying as Ma Ran, but after a while, you would discover he was a kind person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Besides, Lin Qiubai only seemed young, but he was likely over a hundred years old.

What’s wrong with being scolded by an elder a few times?

What’s there to feel aggrieved about?

Even Wan Haihao, who was constantly berated by the Sword Master, planned to sacrifice himself to save others at the final moment of the Lotus City Demon Mountain battle…

Su Qiangwei sighed, dug out a can of Lantern Shadow Beef from the snack bag, and quickly ate the whole can, turning her grief into appetite.

Then she pulled out a can of Candied Yellow Peach in Syrup—although the nurse advised her to eat less canned food, she recently craved it.

She’s not a picky eater; she finishes every nutritious meal and just has a little snack afterward to improve her mood—is that so wrong?

While Su Qiangwei gobbled down her food, she pondered over the most pressing issue at hand.

Although she only stayed in bed for eight hours and could already move freely, in those short hours, Su Qiangwei experienced significant growth!

She had copied over a dozen Superpowers from her visitors!

It wasn’t just her friends from Yingchuan Academy coming to see her.

Other academic societies from different provinces currently had fewer Superpower Users than Henan, but there were indeed some.

Beijing’s Zhiyuan Academy and Heilongjiang’s Bohai Academy brought Su Qiangwei plenty of surprises.

Among those ten or so Superpowers, the one Su Qiangwei paid most attention to was the Pillar Level Superpower—[Cellular Immortality]!

This ability is…

Quite special!

It has a hint of “GOD” to it, where upon awakening, one instantly arrives at a peak state.

[Cellular Immortality], as the name implies, allows the Awakened’s cells to age at one-tenth the normal human rate!

In other words, someone previously diagnosed by a doctor to barely live to thirty could, after awakening this ability, live to three hundred years barring any accidents!

The Superpower Erosion phenomenon of this ability is also quite unique; it doesn’t require mental energy consumption or overexertion, it’s simply in a constant state—afraid of sunlight!

Exposed to sunlight, one would be immediately burned.

Stay under the sun for just a little longer, and you’ll meet your end, turning into human-shaped charcoal.

Fortunately…

The negative impact is solely caused by sunlight.

The Ability User reacts no differently than a regular person to ultraviolet rays, infrared rays, or artificial light.

The original owner of [Cellular Immortality] was a nocturnal night owl, perfectly matched with this ability, truly a stroke of luck.

This ability, labeled as Pillar Level, was solely due to its considerable research value.

Originally, Su Qiangwei hoped to improve [Myriad Transformations] to the point where it could be used on others after she copied [Cellular Immortality].

Unfortunately…

Things don’t always go as planned.

After countless attempts, Su Qiangwei found, much to her displeasure, that even using [Myriad Transformations] to control [Cellular Immortality], she couldn’t use it on others.

The only change that occurred when she got this ability was its operational mode—Immortal Mode, which can be freely switched on and off.

In the off state, there are no differences from usual; the rate of cellular aging stays at the average for regular Earth humans.

When the ability is activated, the energy consumption within Su Qiangwei would significantly increase.

Even without doing anything, maintaining a normal diet would cause a severe drop in weight.

In other words, Su Qiangwei’s wishful thinking was shattered.

Ma Ran still needs to exercise some restraint.

Otherwise, he could easily end up prematurely aging like Lin Qiubai.

It’s worth mentioning that perhaps due to the collective influence of various copied Superpowers or due to her fast progress in Inner Qi Cultivation…

Su Qiangwei’s cellular vitality was already exceptionally high!

She differs from the original owner of [Cellular Immortality], who was short-lived.

The physical examination report shows that over two hundred years later, Su Qiangwei might still appear as the young girl she is now, with little change.

“The [Vacuum Domain] Ability User is still at the Beijing Zhiyuan Academy working as a Supernatural Phenomenon Researcher and hasn’t come over yet.”

“Otherwise… the next time I encounter that arrogant White Mane alien, I would be confident in taking him down with a single blow!”

While pondering and munching on her snacks, Ma Ran walked in through the door.

“I was initially quite worried about you, but seeing you lively and energetic… it seems there’s no issue.”

Hearing this, Su Qiangwei snorted lightly: “Who said that? I’m still in pain now!”

“This concern is so superficial!”

“You’re just going through the motions!”

“Kindness isn’t rewarded…”

“I was just thinking about helping someone extend their life earlier…”

As she spoke, Su Qiangwei couldn’t restrain her impulse and reached out to pull a couple of hairs from Ma Ran’s forehead.

Smack!

Ma Ran expressionlessly slapped her small hand away.

“Tsk! So stingy!”

“Come to think of it… you don’t look like someone who’s prematurely aging… this silver hair is quite glossy, even better than mine…”

“Is your Inner Qi Rank high enough to replenish your lifespan?”

Su Qiangwei received no response.

Ma Ran closed his eyes, seemingly resting.

The girl angrily pulled out a bag of salt and vinegar chips, crunching on them nonstop.

Crunch crunch crunch…

Crunch crunch crunch…

Ma Ran’s eyelid twitched slightly, and he said, “Do you know?”

“The authorities have plans to nationally promote Black Rock Martial Arts.”
