Chapter 357: Chapter 353: The Indescribable Realm of Enclosure Text, Jiang Tai

Everything Su Qiangwei felt before, including progress in strength, personal combat power enhancement, and realm breakthroughs, was all thanks to the Youwen Illusion.

All of it was fake and not real.

If Ma Ran hadn’t been maintaining the Youwen Illusion by her side, with Su Qiangwei’s sensitivity and observational skills, she would have probably discovered immediately that the realm she broke through regressed back.

But now, it’s fine.

Ma Ran truly cultivated to the Eighteenth Rank of Inner Qi, and the so-called use of Inner Qi to create food to assist cultivation is no longer a lie but a real means.

Therefore…

Ma Ran opened his hand, and in his palm, pure white light shone, mist swirled, gradually condensing into the shape of an Inner Qi donut.

Stuffing the donut into the girl’s hand, Ma Ran said expressionlessly, “Eat it. Once you finish, you’ll break through.”

Su Qiangwei glanced at Ma Ran and pinched the donut in her hand.

This thing felt exactly like a real donut.

With one bite, it was sweet but not greasy, and the taste was unexpectedly better than those sold in physical specialty stores.

Sweet and refreshing!

The most crucial thing was that the total amount of Inner Qi in Su Qiangwei’s body was rapidly skyrocketing, easily breaking through the barrier from the Sixth Rank of Inner Qi to the Seventh Rank, truly achieving a breakthrough!

The total amount of Inner Qi contained in this donut was enormous for Su Qiangwei’s current realm.

But after the girl ate it, she only felt that it served as a push, shattering a bottleneck, with most of the credit belonging to that bowl of beef noodles from before.

This was the profound attainment of Ma Ran, the Youwen Grandmaster.

The subtle manipulation of others’ perceptions, such intricate techniques, are very rare.

At least, ordinary Youwen Masters can’t reach this realm.

Even some who have just been promoted to the realm of Youwen Grandmaster may not grasp the microscopic level achieved by Ma Ran.

To this day, Ma Ran vaguely sensed some subtle dissonance.

In the vast cosmos, there are countless Extraordinary Systems.

Youwen is considered a relatively special one.

Although different from Inner Qi, Seven Vortex Swordsmanship, and superpowers, yet…

In essence, it’s the same.

It allows cultivators to do things that natural living beings cannot accomplish.

But the issue is that after the Earth Civilization Community collected all the Youwen Carrier Instruments and assembled them, many Earthlings tried cultivation, but only a very few succeeded.

As one of the outstanding ones, Ma Ran in his past life only cultivated to a relatively low realm, merely surpassing the introductory level, with no profound attainment.

All the Youwen heritages clearly mention that a [Master] is the pinnacle and apex of the Youwen System; beyond that, no higher realm exists.

Many supernatural scholars and researchers have also confirmed this point.

But now…

With the constant elevation of Spiritual Power essence, Ma Ran vaguely feels that with the help of the [Academic Demon] and [Martial Arts Celestial Pride] medals, he seems to be able to innovate beyond the realm of Youwen Grandmaster to reach a higher level.

That is…

An unprecedented level!

However, the Youwen System is different from the Inner Qi System.

Ma Ran doesn’t intend to expose his Youwen attainment in front of others. At some future time, he plans to write a script specifically for Youwen.

So, breaking through the ultimate realm of Youwen requires spending time, pondering, and exploring bit by bit on his own.

The difficulty is quite high.

Based on Ma Ran’s estimation, breaking through from a Youwen Grandmaster to an unprecedented realm is perhaps even more challenging than a person cultivating from the Ninth Rank of Inner Qi to the Eighteenth Rank of Inner Qi.

Even with the inherent intelligence, spiritual power, and other natural gifts of an ordinary Earthling, coupled with many related superpowers, to go from Youwen Grandmaster to an indescribably higher realm would approximately require…

Thirty-nine million years.

After rounding off, that’s indeed such a vast number that it feels unreal.

Most people, upon hearing this data, would either despair on the spot or chuckle and give up trying.

But Ma Ran wouldn’t.

After his rebirth, he spent very little time on cultivation because his time is precious. The process of cultivation can be replaced by [role-playing] to even achieve better results and more perfectly reach his goals.

When effort is needed, Ma Ran will never give up easily just because the goal’s difficulty is too high.

Effort is never wasted.

Every bit of hard work reaps its rewards.

The Heavenly Dao rewards diligence, and honest labor knows no deceit!

In the moment that Ma Ran pondered, Su Qiangwei truly completed her breakthrough.

The girl’s gaze fell on him, her eyes somewhat complicated, “Ma Ran, you mentioned before, right?”

“The Food Creation Technique of the Eighteenth Rank of Inner Qi is actually used to assist one’s own cultivation.”

“If it is used to help others cultivate, it will only reduce one’s own total amount of Inner Qi, making it not worth the loss.”

“You, as a person, are good in every way except for a fatal flaw.”

“You…”

“Are too selfless.”

“You always focus on benefiting others without any consideration for yourself.”

“Although that’s great, I’m always worried you’ll be at a disadvantage.”

At this, Su Qiangwei sighed, “Tomorrow, you’re going to South Korea with that [Profound Immortal], right?”

“How about this…”

“I’ll go with you to hold the fort.”

“Otherwise, if Zhao Guanlan has a National Guardian beside him, and you don’t have any impressive figures by your side, it could seem like you’re overshadowed.”

“Even though I believe your strength isn’t much weaker than his, you also need to show it in terms of prestige and presence, not appearing weak!”

Ma Ran looked up, giving her a deep glance.

“Alright, let’s go together.”

Sometimes, there’s no need to say much.

There is a big difference between people who truly care about you and those who pretend to. Ma Ran can tell at a glance.

The world has many of the latter.

Poor in a bustling city, no one asks; rich in a remote mountain, distant relatives appear.

That is the meaning behind it.

And Su Qiangwei is the rare former.

Her concern is pure, without any impurities.

Such a companion is worth safeguarding.

…

There are three Academic Societies in Shandong, and Weihai Academy is just one of them.

At this moment, a young man wearing a Grass Hut Academy uniform is handling various documents in the dormitory.

Beside the young man stood many members of Weihai Academy.

“Jiang Tai, there’s a rumor outside saying you’re the [Prophet]’s right-hand man; can you help with an introduction?”

“Yeah… Brother Ran has plenty of opportunities under him, and as long as you can stay by his side often, there are countless benefits. If you can make introductions, whether successful or not, you’ll benefit!”

“My younger brother just turned fourteen this year, and he idolizes the [Prophet] and the [Martial God], wanting to join the Grass Hut Academy, but he lacks any special skills or abilities, so… I hope you can help him through the procedure to get him in.”

“Alright! Jiang Tai, we’re discussing something serious! Stop fiddling with those documents of yours!”
