Su Qiangwei never visits the Three-Treasure Hall without cause. If it's not urgent, she typically wouldn't bother to call Ma Ran.

She soon explained everything clearly.

"That junior is very smart and didn't foolishly hide anything."

"She reported it to the academic society immediately."

"So, I followed the investigators here."

"That extraterrestrial item is extremely dangerous!"

"If it weren't for my quick reaction, a few people could have died on the spot."

At this point, the girl's tone shifted to a strange inflection: "My memory has always been excellent."

"If I'm not mistaken..."

"As a naturally awakened Superpower User, you foresaw the emergence of this thing before joining Grass Hut Academy, didn't you?"

...

A few minutes earlier.

Thirty-five kilometers northeast of Qinghai Academy.

A silver metallic sphere floated in the air, about five meters off the ground.

It was about one meter in diameter, covered with countless black lines. At a glance, it looked like a solid iron lump with fancy patterns.

However...

An ordinary iron lump couldn't possibly float mid-air.

Moreover, the lines on the silver metallic sphere resembling patterns were chaotic and twisted, as if harboring some mysterious power.

Several elite members of Qinghai Academy stood at a distance, cautiously observing the sphere.

"Don't approach it! This thing gives me a very bad feeling..."

"Hmm? Then let's retreat a bit! Your [Danger Sense] ability, though just at the Under Development level, is targeted quite weakly, but it has never been wrong, so we need to be careful!"

"There shouldn't be an issue from over two hundred meters away, right?"

"Bring the binoculars, let's take a closer look..."

"The patterns on this metallic sphere are making me feel more and more uncomfortable, as if I have a splitting headache."

"Is it just a headache? It feels like the blood in my veins is about to boil."

"It doesn't really look like patterns; it seems more like some kind of writing..."

"Could it be the legacy of some advanced civilization? Wouldn't that make us rich? We could become technologically advanced, with strong ships and fierce cannons, and successfully defend Earth and even counterattack alien civilizations?"

"You're dreaming! The Black Rock Martial Arts Stele fell to Earth because the Black Rock Civilization was destroyed by even more advanced invaders. If it were an advanced civilization, it wouldn't have been destroyed so easily!"

"Have the soldiers retreat; they rarely cultivate Inner Qi, so their resistance to this kind of thing might be slightly weaker. It would be bad if something happened."

"Exactly, we shouldn't approach rashly! Let's observe carefully, speculate boldly, and then verify cautiously, to see if this thing is a treasure or a curse!"

Among the members of Qinghai Academy, Su Qiangwei squinted to look at the distant silver metallic sphere.

Just a glance, and she was sure she had seen the patterns and designs on it somewhere before!

"Could it be I was an alien in my past life?"

A whimsical thought popped into her head, and the next moment, Su Qiangwei's heart tightened, as past images floated before her eyes.

She finally knew where she had seen this thing before!

"Don't over-observe it."

Su Qiangwei immediately stepped forward to stop the related personnel's research: "It will drive you crazy."

As an internationally renowned [Martial God], one of the only two National Guardian level ability users in the country, comparable to less than a handful worldwide.

Along with her performance at the Lotus City Demon Mountain, Su Qiangwei's fame is now quite significant.

Members of Qinghai Academy and the special operations team, who didn't know her well, chose to believe her judgment.

The crowd held back, deliberately avoiding direct visual contact with the bizarre metallic sphere.

The original words from Ma Ran are now used by Su Qiangwei.

Looking at everyone's reactions, she felt...

This feeling of showcasing one's ability in front of others, feels so satisfying!

The girl rubbed her chin: "From what that guy implied before, 'looking' seems to be a key trigger action?"

"If you all have to make contact, then you must... Never mind!"

"I'll call him and ask first."

She took out the academy's special phone, and dialed Ma Ran's number with one button.

"...discovered a strange extraterrestrial item..."

"Before joining Grass Hut Academy, you foresaw the emergence of this thing, didn't you?"

Her small mouth kept babbling.

Honestly, the earlier part was just showing off.

The girl stated that Ma Ran's initial trust in her was correct.

Otherwise, why was she the only one to have seen those black Ghost Talismans?

When a sudden incident occurred, it turns out Master Qiangwei was indeed the most trustworthy person!

Who else could, like her, instantly recall that trivial daily event of the past in a flash?

"The content I sketched in my notebook around the time of the educational ability test for the Grass Hut Academy's entrance is the same thing you see today."

Ma Ran said calmly: "I had predicted its appearance even earlier."

"In fact, it's not just China."

"These things I've named 'Youwen Carrier Instrument' have appeared simultaneously worldwide."

Enclosure Text?

Right Text?

Even with Su Qiangwei's intelligence, she couldn't determine the correct writing for Youwen.

However, those were trivial issues not worth wasting too much energy.

It was just a name or code; replacing it with 'Little Mischievous Ball' or 'Little Braised Egg' would not make any difference.

Su Qiangwei glanced at her phone and found the signal was blank, not knowing how the communication was maintained.

She retreated a few meters again, further distancing herself from the Youwen Carrier Instrument.

"So what you're saying is..."

"Those black lines really are some kind of text, right?"

Ma Ran's tone turned slightly cold: "Yes, each Youwen Carrier Instrument can contain three hundred characters with special powers."

"Only by gathering all ten Youwen Carrier Instruments that landed worldwide, can we truly decipher its secrets."

At this point, Ma Ran warned gravely: "Last time, I only spoke of part of the consequences."

"Collecting three thousand Youwen is needed to start deciphering its mysteries."

"Just having some of the fragments, forcing memory, is still acceptable."

"But..."

"Remember, don't delve into the research!"

"People with insufficient willpower will have their minds twisted by the incomplete Youwen, their spirit dissolved, beliefs eroded, and might even induce genetic mutations, deforming into bloodthirsty, hideous monsters."

Hearing this, Su Qiangwei took a deep breath.

To be honest, she wasn't surprised at all!

That annoying guy has always been this way, hasn't he?

On the surface, he maintains an extremely aloof persona, keeping others at arm's length—people who don't know him all think this way.

Peeking beneath this facade, one might think he has a passionate heart—his fans likely all think this way.

But only Su Qiangwei knows...

In his deepest self, Ma Ran is actually an ultimate brute, confident to the point of arrogance!

Whenever he foresees a disaster that can't be handled with the current power, he opts to handle it personally.

The Nightmare event in A3 District was like this.

The emergence of the Youwen Carrier Instrument was like this as well.

Just during the Lotus City Demon Mountain battle, by chance, an otherworldly friend Lin Qiubai with sky-high combat power was present; otherwise, Ma Ran would probably have rolled up his sleeves and handled everyone's business himself, without a word, right?

"Indeed, everything is within your calculations!"

Su Qiangwei felt a mix of emotions.

On the one hand, she acknowledged Ma Ran's wisdom and cunning—though he's a nuisance, calling him utterly strategic is no exaggeration.

On the other hand, she felt Ma Ran was a super brute, bolder than anyone else.

The split in image made the girl feel that her reasoning and judgment were flawed.

This was the first time Su Qiangwei doubted her observation and analytical abilities.

More than that, the girl focused on another point...

In her hand was [Myriad Transformations], she possessed Third Level of Inner Qi Cultivation, and creatively combined abilities [Blood Boiling] and [High-speed Metabolism] to create a small cheat for accelerating cultivation.

Though still far from Fifth Rank of Inner Qi, given time, reaching the Fourth Rank of Inner Qi wouldn't take long either.

Even so, her spiritual will and faith strength were not enough to study Youwen?

A bit displeased, but the girl still trusted Ma Ran's judgment and passed his original words to President Qin of Qinghai Academy.
