Good news is...

On the second day of new admissions at the academy, Peng Hanqing sent his personal résumé to President Huang Weiguo of Grass Hut Academy, and he received a reply a few days ago—he secured one of the ten "Adventurous Tickets."

Ma Ran's promise of "opportunity" regarding Inner Qi and Sword Dao has now spread across various academies.

All over the country, numerous members are eager and determined to gain the promised opportunity.

Some specialize in Inner Qi, while others are devoted to Sword Dao, and some use superpowers to assist in their cultivation...

Everyone is striving hard, working towards one goal, pursuing, and competing for it.

A secret is no longer a secret once more than two people know about it.

The words "Prophet's Opportunity" are not only disseminated among the various academies but are also spreading wildly among the entire nation.

Especially on some self-media channels, marketing accounts, and news websites, unscrupulous editors have let their imaginations run wild, even daring to publish fake news like "Inner Qi Grotto Heaven" and "Sword Dao Blessing Land."

More frighteningly, many people are willing to believe.

Now, throughout the provinces, the Super Bureau is fully established, from fourth graders in elementary schools to retired seniors, as long as they have no criminal record, can obtain the training manual called "Burning Martial" at the Super Bureau.

Many passionate teens, young adults, middle-aged, and even seniors feel they haven't worked hard before because they didn't find anything truly worth striving for.

Although they can't access the secret techniques of the Seven Vortex Swordsmanship, at least they can cultivate Inner Qi, right?

This is already a globally leading welfare and benefit.

No other country can compare with China in this respect.

Because they don't have that young man code-named "Prophet."

Foreknowledge and prescience, leading step-by-step.

With the assistance of Ma Ran, China is making rapid progress in the era of the Extraordinary, advancing swiftly without taking any detours or encountering too many hardships and setbacks.

Billions of people nationwide are vying for ten "Adventurous Tickets."

Even the college entrance examination, like crossing a narrow bridge with thousands of troops and horses, can't compare to it.

"It's here!"

The voice of his companions woke the deep-in-thought Peng Hanqing.

He lifted his head, focusing his gaze forward.

In his field of vision, there was a sea of people.

The familiar full-cover white protective clothing and coffin-like space gate indicated the identity of the other party.

Longevity Star People!

However, these guys holding gun-like weapons should all be "newcomers," lacking combat experience, afraid of dying in battle, and with low shooting accuracy.

Faced with a huge intelligence gap, these Longevity People became trapped as soon as they descended on Earth.

After a brief panic, they raised their guns.

Peng Hanqing squinted, holding a Dragon Hunting gun in each hand, charging into the enemy ranks at the forefront.

Some elite members of Zhiyuan Academy immediately followed.

This wasn't recklessness, just a small part of the tactic.

The nature of Zhiyuan Academy is somewhat similar to Fulan Academy, both practicing Inner Qi and superpowers simultaneously.

Peng Hanqing and his companions received various blessings from logistic superpower users.

Various bizarre superpowers, when considered individually, seem insignificant or even weak.

But with the help of Xu Shaoyuan, an Awakened of Pillar Level ability [Protection], every member of the elite strike team gained combat capabilities far beyond usual.

[Lightning Reaction], [Wind Stepping], [Combat Focus], [Instantaneous Computation Power], [Alloy Protection]...

All these superpowers transformed into a state of protection, allowing Peng Hanqing and others, who already had far superior overall qualities than ordinary people, to dodge the shooting trajectory of White Mane before they pulled the trigger.

Even if their luck wasn't good and they took a bullet, it wouldn't result in instant death; at most, they'd only sustain minor injuries.

And the injured strike team members would quickly be rescued by the warriors and receive the best treatment.

Although not remarkable in terms of top combat power, Zhiyuan Academy's foundation far exceeds any other academy except Grass Hut.

Bang!

Bang!

Crackle...

Gunfire roared.

Plasma surged.

The smell of gunpowder and blood filled the air.

Coming back to his senses, Peng Hanqing found that the coffin-like space gate had already appeared within his shooting range.

"Shoot it down!"

According to past experiences, just destroying the jamming devices on the "White Coffin" can prevent the coverage of Class A to Class C Radiation.

After that, direct use of hot weapons for carpet bombing can commence.

It won't take long to completely annihilate this group of alien invaders!

Peng Hanqing raised the Dragon Hunting gun, aimed at the space gate, and fiercely pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With a series of six shots, he finally shot down the coffin-like space gate.

The Class A and Class C Radiation, which interfered with the effectiveness of Earth's technological weapons, disappeared in an instant.

"Immediate retreat!"

Peng Hanqing ignored the Longevity People still trying to entangle him, following the original plan, withdrawing from the battlefield with the strike team under the guidance of academy members.

After destroying the jamming device on the "White Coffin," continuing with close combat is just a needless risk.

Isn't carpet bombing to crush these Longevity People more satisfying?

"Idiot! Stay calm!"

Peng Hanqing grabbed a team member who had fallen into a frenzied battle state, pulling him out.

A distance of thirty meters, usually no big deal.

With a blink, they could arrive.

But after a chaotic battle, Peng Hanqing's physical energy and Inner Qi were nearly exhausted, and though it was less than a hundred meters, it felt like running a marathon.

Too tired, too exhausted!

Drowsiness surged like a tide, almost completely engulfing Peng Hanqing.

In this lifetime, only twice had he fallen into such a state.

Once during the Lotus City Demon Mountain battle.

Back then, there was Ma Ran, Su Qiangwei, Zhu Hanyi, and Wan Haihao. Peng Hanqing was just an insignificant little underling, and his mission was simply to save as many people as possible.

This time, he is the leader of the assault squad, and the responsibility on his shoulders left him no room for complacency.

The mental pressure was so intense that Peng Hanqing felt like the string in his mind was about to snap completely!

Twenty meters!

Ten meters!

Five meters!

Finally, Peng Hanqing and the frenzied teammate successfully retreated to safety.

The hot weapons, already prepared, directly covered the battlefield, blasting the majority of the Longevity Star People to pieces.

With the collaboration of many superpower users, the violent shockwaves and noise were intercepted and didn't spread far.

Other Beijing citizens continued living their lives as usual.

Work, study, and cultivation.

Few knew what was happening in this region at that time.

"Huff… huff… huff…"

Peng Hanqing panted heavily, collapsing on the ground without any care for his image, letting his thoughts run wild in his mind. In the distance, the last Longevity Star Person had already given up resistance before being obliterated by the hot weapons.

The guy dropped his weapon and roared, seemingly cursing something.

"Coward! Fight me one-on-one!"

A familiar male voice rang from the special phone: "That's what he just said."

"Old Zhou, your ability is really useless, only good for being a translator."

Peng Hanqing casually quipped, turning his face away and flipping the final Longevity Star Person the finger.

"Idiot!"

Most members of Zhiyuan Academy assigned to guardian duties were at the Second Rank of Inner Qi.

Even Peng Hanqing's Third Rank of Inner Qi was neither strong nor weak, which was quite awkward.

Inner Qi, unlike superpowers or the Seven Vortex Swordsmanship System, kept people ordinary until reaching the Tenth Rank.

Without special equipment or superpower boosts, getting headshot by a large-caliber weapon meant instant death.

Initially, some tried to invent cool killing moves, shouting names like "Red Lotus Karmic Fire Scorches the Celestial Abyss" or "Cyan Pine Guest," or "Immortal's Guidance" during battles to boost style.

But now…

No one wastes their thoughts on such things anymore.

The Black Rock Martial Arts System is just weak!

However, thanks to Ma Ran's effort and contribution, a higher realm above the Black Rock Martial Arts Ninth Rank was created, raising the upper limit of that Extraordinary system!

After reaching the Tenth Rank of Inner Qi, vitality becomes extremely strong, almost permanently stabilizing at the Pillar Level superpower like "Super Strong," without suffering the side effects of superpower erosion!

The Eleventh Rank of Inner Qi, not to mention, renders one immune to blades and bullets; even hitting with dragon-hunting bombardment and emptying several magazines wouldn't cause harm.

Of course, cool transformations are just a side effect, not that important.

"Damn… still far from the Eleventh Rank of Inner Qi!"

Peng Hanqing sighed subconsciously: "It's said that the Spiritual Soldier at the Twelfth Rank of Inner Qi relates to personal subconscious, reflecting one's inner traits."

"So the transformation spiritual armor at the Eleventh Rank is similar?"

"I wonder what my spiritual armor looks like…"

"Hope it's like the Prophet's style…"

The sound from afar snapped Peng Hanqing out of his daydream.

"Xu Shaoyuan, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have talked bad about you behind your back! If you feel unsatisfied, you can beat me up!"

"Brother Xu, we owe this success to your 'Protection' ability!"

"I also made fun of you, called you 'Budget Prophet.' Now… I don't even know what to say… so awkward…"

Watching the teammates encircle Xu Shaoyuan, Peng Hanqing couldn't help but chuckle.

Initially, the think tank rated Xu Shaoyuan's ability at a lower National Guardian level.

However…

The truth was, a certain Martial God surnamed Su directly multiplied that ability without Xu Shaoyuan's permission.

So, Xu Shaoyuan's ability turned out to be just Pillar Level.

The domestic Under Development, Pillar, National Guardian grading, or the foreign SABCDe five-level rating, are all based on comprehensive analyses given the known information for preliminary estimates.

Humans make mistakes.

Even professionals are no exception.

For example, Qi An, who joined Grass Hut Academy with Li Xing as the second batch member, initially received an Under Development level rating.

Ma Ran said the "Knight" ability had good potential, and the relevant department immediately raised Qi An's rating and benefits, considering him a "Pillar."

On Earth, the only one who can vouch for not making mistakes is the "National Quality Inspector" Su Qiangwei.

Those who can refuse her transformation are National Guardian.

Those who can't are not.

This 100% accuracy doesn't have much practical significance.

How could there be only two levels, "National Guardian" and "Below National Guardian"?

In reality, Pillar Level ability users are the true backbone of society!

Xu Shaoyuan is normally indifferent and uncommunicative, completely different from Peng Hanqing.

In the academy, he has terrible social connections, so after the rating blunder incident, he got called "Pseudo National Guardian," "Budget Prophet."

After a battle, many members who mocked him came to apologize.

"I forgive you all."

Xu Shaoyuan, pale but smiling, said: "I'm not fond of talking, so I hope everyone will be more understanding in the future, like today."

"If possible…"

"I'm willing to fight alongside everyone until the end!"

Peng Hanqing smirked but didn't burst Xu Shaoyuan's bubble.

"Not fond of talking" is just a facade; Xu Shaoyuan is deliberately imitating Ma Ran in daily life.

The truth is...

Both Xu Shaoyuan and Peng Hanqing are die-hard Ma Ran fans.

When being called "Budget Prophet" behind his back, who knows how thrilled this repressed guy feels!

Feigning innocence while gaining something…

Forgive, my ass!
