After saying this, Zhang Kuang flew decisively towards the northeast.

He transformed into a scarlet light, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Watching the direction he left, Su Qiangwei instinctively clenched her fist: "It's the dormitory building!"

More than half a month had passed, Xiao Ming was still in Xiangtan, gathering material for the Lotus City Demon Mountain incident, and hadn't returned to the Grass Hut Academy.

At this moment in time, the only one likely staying in the dormitory would be Ma Ran.

Considering what Zhang Kuang had just said…

Ma Ran was likely in danger now!

"Let's go! We need to help!"

Speaking these words, Su Qiangwei lightly pushed against the ground, her entire body seemingly losing weight as she floated into the air, flying towards the dormitory building's direction.

Wu Di, Wan Haihao, and the others felt a jolt of urgency, quickly starting to run.

The advantage of flying is being able to ignore various terrain obstacles, and altitude differences don't matter much either.

Thus, Su Qiangwei was much faster than the other academy members.

Half a minute later, Su Qiangwei arrived at the scene.

The Demon Son hovered in the air, arms crossed, a serene expression on his face, yet a faint flame of battle intent burned in his eyes.

Dormitory building, fourth floor.

In the corridor.

A young man with black and white hair was holding a laptop with his left hand and typing rapidly on the keyboard with his right.

A humanoid creature about 1.73 meters tall, wearing a white helmet and full protective clothing, stood in front of the youth.

"White Mane Alien!"

Su Qiangwei, half-squatting on the corridor railing, immediately identified the uninvited guest.

This White Mane Alien held in its hands a cylindrical, 12-centimeter-long, 3-centimeter-diameter object, exuding a strong sci-fi vibe.

Judging by its demeanor, it didn't seem to intend to attack immediately, but rather appeared to be attempting a negotiation with the black-and-white-haired youth.

Listening to the alien's garbled speech, Ma Ran shook his head and looked towards Su Qiangwei, squatting on the corridor railing: "You're just in time, we need a translator here."

"Our relevant staff hasn't completely deciphered the language system of the White Mane Aliens."

Before rebirth, the priority of White Mane Civilization in Earthlings' minds was quite low.

There were over a dozen alien civilizations eyeing Earth covetously ahead of them.

Therefore…

In his previous life, Ma Ran hadn't learned the language of the White Mane Aliens.

Fortunately, with Su Qiangwei present, communication wasn't an issue.

"Eh?"

Su Qiangwei focused her gaze on the unexpectedly arrived White Mane Alien: "Are you here to get yourself killed?"

Since the Demon Mountain disaster, within these two short weeks, the number of White Mane aliens descending on Earth had noticeably increased compared to before, with their appearances becoming more frequent as well.

They rarely appeared in legion scale, mostly in groups of three or five, and their marksmanship and mobility were many times superior to the initial wave of White Mane Aliens.

The good news is that, at least for those appearing within China, members of various academic societies were capable of handling the White Mane Aliens adequately.

Black Rock Martial Arts, Seven Vortex Swordsmanship, and Superpower, these three extraordinary systems complemented each other.

Especially the Seven Vortex Swordsmanship, breaking through each realm brings a drastic change in combat power.

Although currently only Zhu Hanyi and Wan Haihao had reached the Second Realm of Swordsmanship [Soul], China was vast and abundant with talents, and when academic societies recruited for the second and third phases, they added a new channel—Seven Vortex Swordsmanship talent testing!

The criteria for evaluating talent for Seven Vortex Swordsmanship cultivation were very enigmatic.

As for future realms, it's temporarily hard to say.

At the very least, those who love swords, are obsessed with swords, and see swords as their closest friends, often quickly break into the First Realm of Swordsmanship, nurturing spirituality for their swords, quickly forming a decent combat force!

It's noteworthy that the talent testing method for Seven Vortex Swordsmanship involved a first-phase member of Xinglu Academy named Feng Xin.

This person was an Awakened with a Pillar Level ability called [Obsession Survey].

When superpower erosion occurs with this ability, the price to pay is the loss of correct recognition of numerical concepts.

Simply put, overuse of Feng Xin's ability results in an inability to distinguish which is greater between 3 and 7, and an inability to perform addition or subtraction within ten, even using fingers.

Overall, the side effects of this ability are quite minor, and compared to the random amnesia of [Expel Disease] or the memory impairment of [Domain Summoning], it's not much of a concern.

When Feng Xin uses [Obsession Survey], he must touch a human with his left hand and an object with his right hand, and then he can accurately state a number.

This number represents the depth of the detected person's obsession with the object.

Generally, anyone who scores a 6 or above is considered to have passed the "swordsmanship talent test" and can join various academic societies through the regular channels without special recruitment.

Incidentally…

In such tests, Zhu Hanyi scored 10.

Wan Haihao scored 8.

As for Wu Di, he only received a score of 6.

Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei hadn't participated in the related tests.

Back to the topic.

Su Qiangwei, half-squatting on the corridor railing, glared fiercely at the White Mane Alien who came out of nowhere, listening to its speech for a while, a hint of astonishment appeared on her face.

The Pillar Level superpower, [Language Proficiency], allowed her to communicate seamlessly with any intelligent creature.

Objectively speaking, the scope of this ability was even broader than God's dominion "Tower of Babel"!

The White Mane Alien stared at Su Qiangwei, chattering on and on.

The girl translated in real-time: "Crimson Hammer and Extremely Effective Monarch both failed here!"

"I, AQ3399."

"First kill Ma Ran, then eliminate Su Qiangwei!"

"Intend to gain fame from a single battle, and obtain a title!"

Though the translation seemed a bit silly, sounding somewhat unserious, but…

The words of AQ3399 did indeed hold this meaning.

The renowned Conqueror X9500 of Team Nine and Slaughterer Z6874 of Team Seven, both met their defeats on this so-called "Earth," a low-level civilization.

This piqued the interest of the Longevity People in Earth.

Within the Mysterious Research Institute, major scholars had stirred the waters on the Mental Network, claiming that if anyone could seize the opportunity to stir up trouble and achieve some results on Earth, they might earn a widely sung, exclusive title!

Wealth, power, and strength were not what the Longevity People sought.

They only desired two things.

Firstly, life; secondly, reputation.

The former referred to longevity, while the latter referred to fame.

Longevity was hard to obtain.

A title was equally hard to seek.

Therefore…

For this opportunity, both newcomers and veterans descended upon Earth in droves.

AQ3399 was one of them.

As a lone wolf Slaughterer of Group Seven in the "Soul Cultivation Field," he was stronger than a novice but unable to achieve a widely recognized title, always staying in a middling position.

This time, AQ3399 had incredible luck!

Right after descending to Earth, he directly encountered Ma Ran!

Though Ma Ran's reputation in the Eternal Civilization often spread as a "Battlefield Commander," but…

After all, he was a notable character!

Ma Ran had even defeated an Extremely Effective Monarch in a small-scale skirmish!

After slaying him and making a card, it should be possible to exchange it with the Conquerors of Team Nine for numerous precious cards!

Harboring hopes, AQ3399 challenged Ma Ran!

"Instead of launching a sneak attack, you chose a one-on-one battle, huh..."

Ma Ran slowly closed the laptop and handed it to Su Qiangwei.

Many Civilization Guardians, despite their strength, ultimately fell to sneak attacks by alien creatures.

In contrast, this guy named AQ3399 could still be seen as quite honorable.

Ma Ran focused his gaze on this White Mane Alien, speaking calmly: "It seems you don't know."

"In fact, the battle is already over."
