Chapter 79: Chapter 78: Pride, Name

Sword Master Lin Qiubai is an illusion created by the Youwen, unable to directly touch material objects.

The wooden box was shattered by Ma Ran using his Inner Qi.

During this process, Ma Ran had 98725 temporarily block all electronic signals within the domain of Grass Hut Academy, causing all monitoring equipment to fall into a paralyzed state.

In addition to Master Youwen’s manipulation of sound, light, touch, and smell…

Ma Ran shattered the wooden sword box in front of everyone, and no one present could see a problem.

Including Su Qiangwei.

In fact, not to mention her, even Nightmare Mother 98725 was played with by the Youwen Text Illusion, not knowing what Ma Ran actually did.

Deep in Little Walnut’s heart, he truly regarded “Lin Qiubai” as an extraterrestrial life form like himself!

If not for the tyranny of Ma Ran, it would have wanted to discuss Earth’s daily life with Lin Qiubai.

Unfortunately, Ma Ran only allowed it to block signals at fixed times, temporarily paralyzing electronic equipment.

During this process, 98725 did not gain more information about Lin Qiubai.

Ma Ran even individually crafted a “scenario” for it to see, created by Youwen.

Ma Ran has a big heart and a bold spirit, daring to reveal his true self in public and build a stage for his own performance.

But he is equally meticulous, not making any low-level mistakes that should not be made.

Master Youwen + Academic Demon Medal + super-strong Spiritual Power provided the material and capability foundation for Ma Ran’s current triple-line operation.

Achieving this level was not difficult.

As for Su Qiangwei…

Her growth potential is indeed high.

But at her current stage, in front of Ma Ran, she completely has no card to play.

After all…

Every Superpower that Su Qiangwei obtained from Myriad Transformations, Ma Ran knows like the back of his hand.

It can even be said that Ma Ran understands her better than Su Qiangwei herself.

President Huang Weiguo looked cautiously at Lin Qiubai, the smile on his face somewhat stiff: “Residing in Wan Haihao’s body, yet capable of exerting abilities beyond the host’s individual limits…”

Originally, the colleagues in the video conference group remained silent, but now they suddenly spoke up.

“What happened just now? The network connection suddenly broke!”

“Was it similar to the Class A Radiation constantly emanating from the Black Rock Inscription?”

“It should be. Just then, the entire Grass Hut Academy’s connection with us was completely severed.”

“Is this Lin Qiubai’s ability?”

The presidents in the video group were not in the best mood.

It seemed like any random alien had the means to block, intercept, and paralyze Earth’s communication equipment.

Black Rock Stele, A3 District Nightmare event, Lin Qiubai’s small demonstration…

And that doesn’t even include foreign records.

Domestically, currently, there are already three forces possessing technology equivalent to Class A Radiation.

Initially, the plan was to provide Lin Qiubai with humanitarian aid under the guise of interstellarism, simultaneously collecting a bit of insignificant technical reward, akin to China, the big brother, taking care of the Seven Revolving Sword Sect, the little brother.

Being able to acknowledge a far-off relative from light-years away is the best outcome, with potential future opportunities for mutual support, seeking progress, and common development.

Now, however…

It seems like equal cooperation might be more reliable.

Communication between countries is hard to judge by right or wrong, only by pros and cons.

Even though Lin Qiubai doesn’t have a body, only a wisp of remnant soul, just the signal blockade ability he displayed is worth in-depth cooperation.

The move he showcased earlier, seemingly just remotely shattered a wooden sword box, Ma Ran could have achieved at the Fifth Rank of Inner Qi long ago.

But the essence is completely different!

When Lin Qiubai acted, he instantly paralyzed all the electronic equipment at Grass Hut Academy!

After the move was made, those devices quickly resumed normal operation, as if they hadn’t been physically damaged at all.

This method is much more formidable than carbon fiber graphite bullets!

Moreover, it’s more covert, with higher controllability, and wider coverage.

“Longquan Sword, also known as Dragon Abyss Sword.”

President Huang Weiguo looked at Lin Qiubai, rubbed his bloodshot eyes, and said neither humble nor haughty: “It originated in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, over two thousand and six hundred years ago, symbolizing integrity and purity.”

“It is made through 20-some processes including refining, forging, scraping, filing, inscribing, inlaying copper, cold forging, quenching, and polishing.”

At this point, there were no more words.

Because Lin Qiubai had already grasped that sword.

Who knows how he managed to hold the Longquan Sword without even having a body!

“Flexibility, medium.”

Lin Qiubai slightly raised his brow: “Sharpness, superior.”

“Sturdiness, inferior.”

“Spiritual compatibility…”

“Weak.”

A streak of purple light enveloped the Longquan Sword.

Crunch…

Crunch…

Crunch…

A teeth-grinding metal cracking sound arose.

Web-like cracks slowly appeared across the blade.

The fine Longquan Sword, in the blink of an eye, shattered into a pile of iron butterflies on the ground.

Lin Qiubai sighed: “Ultimately, it’s just Mortal Iron, unable to withstand even a trace of Sword Spirit aura.”

During this process, the monitoring and communication equipment was paralyzed once more.

President Huang Weiguo kept a stiff old face, squeezing out a reluctant smile, requesting Lin Qiubai to retract his Divine Techniques.

Lin Qiubai pondered briefly and gently replied: “I am now only a remnant soul, unable to well restrain the Sword Spirit, which occasionally leaks some fluctuations.”

After the video chat group was forcibly disconnected again, the academic society bigwigs, who had reconnected, also figured out the situation.

Someone, unwilling to give up, asked: “Will the so-called ’Sword Soul Fluctuation’ cause your soul to weaken? Perhaps we can help think of a solution.”

Lin Qiubai gave an indifferent glance at Wan Haihao beside him and said softly: “Sword Soul Fluctuation is like the gravity between Earth and the Sun.”

It is well known that gravity is the only force governing celestial motion.

The cause of such gravity is not the mutual pulling between celestial bodies, but the distortion of space-time by celestial bodies.

The more massive the celestial body, the larger the space-time distortion, and thus the greater the gravity.

So…

According to Lin Qiubai’s explanation, his method of paralyzing electronic devices practically incurs no loss.

There’s no need to lie about such things.

If it were false, it would be immediately exposed.

A proud individual like Lin Qiubai doesn’t seem to have a reason to lie either.

This is the most terrifying part.

Someone like Lin Qiubai, even if doing nothing, by simply releasing the restraint on the Sword Spirit and taking a global tour, could set global economics back by many years.

“Although it might be unused, as a Sword Master, I will never take others’ things for nothing.”

Lin Qiubai looked at the scattered metal fragments on the ground and said in an indisputable tone: “You can freely select a transmission from all Cangming Star’s inheritances.”

Cangming Star?

An unfamiliar keyword…

The people felt a bit confused.

Lin Qiubai calmly explained: “The planet on which the Seven Revolving Sword Sect resides is called ’Cangming’.”

“Previously, as I traveled the Eight Desolates and Six Seas and discovered the world was a spherical body, I hadn’t put thought into naming it.”

“The term ’Cangming’ was just coined to distinguish it from Earth.”

“Any problem?”

A short distance away, President Huang Weiguo’s throat moved up and down, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, his palms covered in cold sweat.

It is indeed reasonable.

Lin Qiubai, as the Controller who protected the Human Race to proliferate to four hundred million on Cangming Star, giving his own planet a name, is that excessive?

Huang Weiguo shook his head.

Now is not the time to get tangled up in such matters.

The crucial thing is…

What will Lin Qiubai offer as a “return gift”?
