"He knows what I’m thinking!"
I’m going to die!
Fujita Youki felt a blankness before his eyes, his brain empty, as if he were being stared down by an ancient primordial beast, ready to perish at any mont.
If he had known earlier that this "Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan" possessed abilities akin to Mind Reading Technique, he would never have let his thoughts run wild. He would have surely kept his damn brain in check!
From his childhood to the present, all of his life experiences and mories slowly surfaced in Fujita Youki’s mind.
Pain, joy, delight, tornt...
Everything flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.
Tears welled up in Fujita Youki’s eyes and stread uncontrollably down his cheeks.
He covered his mouth, looking in terror at the young man in the pink suit in front of him, trying hard to swallow all his sounds down his throat, but to no avail. He still emitted a whimper like a stray dog.
"I... I don’t want to die!"
Fujita Youki wasn’t even sure if he actually said it aloud or just thought it in his mind.
"A comndable survival instinct."
Ma Ran looked at him with a half-smile for a mont, saying in a peculiar tone, "Keep it up."
With that, he turned around as if nothing had happened, walking toward the source of a pleasant scent.
In reality, at this stage, Ma Ran didn’t have a domineering Mind Reading Technique to directly browse through others’ thoughts and ideas.
He rely had a derivative ability of [Enchantnt] to vaguely sense others’ goodwill, malice, admiration, and hatred, nothing more.
Ma Ran turned his face, focusing his gaze on Zhou Yu, who had caught up. A peculiar light flashed in his eyes, "Xiao Zhou, do you think my actions during this period were right or wrong?"
Zhou Yu, who had been silently guarding beside him, was startled, and after a pause, he said in a deep voice, "In this world, aside from [God] Gray, [Prophet] Ma Ran, and [Martial God] Su Qiangwei, no one can judge or comnt on you."
There are differences even among the National Guardian level.
With the true arrival of the Extraordinary Era, as the Extraordinary Domain developed, countries on Earth actively promoted the expansion of the Superpower User community.
In such a context, so-called National Guardian-level Ability Users appeared one by one like bamboo shoots after rain.
However...
Currently, on Earth, only the three individuals he just ntioned could truly bear the title "National Guardian."
The others are rely S-level.
Therefore, Zhou Yu didn’t even ntion [Yin Yang Master], [Judge], [Undying Gentleman], [Romantic Goddess], [Industrial Dominator], [Soul of Slav], [God of Indians], and [Yi King], those strong top-level Superpower Users.
If he were thick-skinned enough, he could even consider himself, Zhou Yu, the [Blazing Rock Funeralist], as part of the S-level.
After all, with the help of that proud Molten Rock Crow, Zhou Yu could vouch that many S-levels were not his match.
Zhou Yu was not foolish, so when speaking, he deliberately omitted the once short-lived Sword Master Lin Qiubai and Demon Child Zhang Kuang on Earth.
After a brief contemplation, Zhou Yu added, "I will never impose my subjective will on you."
"Whatever decision you make, I will execute it without reservation."
Just don’t bring harm to China.
Zhou Yu added in his heart.
Ma Ran suddenly chuckled quietly, "Always up to so useless clever tricks."
"Do you think that soone as ruthless as would easily kill even my own subordinates?"
"No..."
Saying this, Ma Ran casually picked a flower from a tree by the sidewalk, surrounded it with Thunder at his fingertips, turned it into a dried flower, and tossed it aside, saying with a somber tone, "You’ve done well recently."
"So, let tell you about so of the secrets that Ogata Shitou knows and you haven’t co into contact with."
"Regardless of how much you can understand, I’ll try to make it clear and understandable on my end."
Zhou Yu imdiately perked up, listening attentively, "Team Leader, please speak."
anwhile, Sakai Tetsuya quietly managed the group of people following them, instructing them to keep their distance from the two at the front.
The less you know about what you shouldn’t, the longer you live.
Ma Ran, as if unaware of the actions of those behind him, calmly spoke, "The Upper-Rank National Guardian-level [Profound Immortal] is rely a lie to deceive the public, a legend to cater to the hopes of so citizens."
"In fact, apart from about sixty percent who like self-deception, the rest of the people on this island might have guessed my true origins but were just not sure."
"This matter has nothing to hide from you."
"Just like the Sword Master and the Demon Child, I indeed co from the Cangming Star!"
Saying this, Ma Ran’s tone suddenly beca heavy, "Before traveling to Earth, I had just broken through to the sa realm as those two seniors."
"Perhaps I went too far on Cangming Star. Even as they fought with the Heavenly Dao, Sword Master and Demon Child still intervened to punish , shattering my immortal body, leaving only a head to traverse endless space and descend on Earth."
Zhou Yu listened with his scalp tingling, feeling he had learned sothing he shouldn’t know, chills running down his spine.
Honestly speaking, the might of the Sword Master and the Demon Child, he had only heard about in legends.
But the formidable strength of the Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan, he had experienced firsthand.
Effortlessly creating Thunder and Magma Spirits, animating life, and endowing them with the power to suppress most S-level Superpower Users...
Such terrifying Profound Immortal wasn’t in his full state?
How could he not be in his full state?
"I know you have many questions."
Ma Ran shook his head and snapped his fingers.
Crackle, crackle...
Thunder surged.
His "true state" appeared before Zhou Yu.
A head hovered in the air, while the pink suit and shoes transford into pure golden Thunder light.
Zhou Yu’s pupils slightly dilated, adrenaline rushing.
Honestly, he could hardly believe that the "Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan," who had caused such a stir in Japan and even established a vast power base, was only a head!
During this ti, everything, from the skin, flesh, and bones of "Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan," was transford from these lightning lights!
"Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan" was just a head!
So, the question arises.
To what extent was this person powerful at his peak?
In an instant, the head returned to its original form, even tidying up his hairstyle, casually saying, "See? The body I’m using now is rely a temporary skeleton made from borrowed Thunder Elent."
"Although I do have so talent, by the ti I was born, Cangming Star had already entered the age of Dharma decline, resources were scarce, Divine Techniques were cut off, and Secret Techniques were barren."
"Under such circumstances, to reach the current realm, one must resort to all sorts of ans."
"Moral blackmail, defamation, brainwashing, playing the ignorant and foolish strong with information asymtry, subduing the wise weak with force..."
"These are so thods I quite enjoy."
"Unwilling to dirty one’s hands, not wanting to see folds on pretty clothes, unwilling to kill, yet loving to ddle, never had a clear goal, still thinking of reaching the end of the cultivation path cleanly and neatly..."
"These are tales fit for a child’s enlightennt stories."
At this mont, Ma Ran and Zhou Yu had arrived at the place where the aroma of cooking emanated.
This was the first floor of the staff dormitory.
The middle-aged man, who had just finished cooking, saw the two approach, his gaze falling on the Plaque of the Profound Immortal Team on Zhou Yu’s chest, trembling with fear, scrambling back to his room.
Ma Ran sneered disdainfully, sitting confidently at the dining table, savoring the ready al, saying nonchalantly, "I’m not interested in others’ joys and sorrows."
"My goal is to gather all the resources on this island, to reforge and replenish my immortal body, returning to my original realm."
"And the ultimate aning and goal of the [Profound Immortal Team] are the sa."
"Saving the world has never been our goal, just a ans and process."
"You can accumulate resources and strengthen yourself during this process, but don’t confuse the most important parts."
(Brothers and sisters, getting villainous! It took super long today, only just finished writing the first Chapter! So... hehe... I’ll try to finish the second and third updates by 6 PM! Hmm!)
