Ma Ran briefly explained the behavioral logic of the Extremely Effective Monarch and shared his own speculation.

Crack, crack, crack...

For a moment, the only sound left in the ward was Su Qiangwei eating chips.

Today's flavor was plain, just salty, a special from the Grass Hut Academy canteen, famous for one thing—filling and generous.

The taste wasn't bad, and the portion was exceptionally generous, more substantial than any brand on the market.

Life is all about eating and drinking.

The three paths of the Extraordinary System: Inner Qi, Sword Dao, and Superpower, even the most elite must live in the mortal world; they can't simply rely on air.

At least with enough nutrition supply, one can ensure a good state and steady increase in combat power.

Can't even eat your fill, yet want to get strong?

Purely a dreamer's talk!

Su Qiangwei's behavior somewhat disrupted the atmosphere.

But seeing her small and thin like a middle school girl, no one wanted to say anything to her.

After all, she was one of the key contributors to the great victory in the Grass Hut Battle.

If not for her presence, who knows how many of those relatively ordinary warriors who had just cultivated a bit of Inner Qi would have died or been injured.

Since it wasn't an important occasion, everyone showed understanding and sympathy for the girl's behavior.

"No wonder..."

The demon licked the corner of his lips, a hint of crimson flashed in his eyes: "That guy gave me a stronger feeling than the other two, but he died very cleanly, without resistance, as if he was deliberately seeking death."

"The Extremely Effective Monarch, huh..."

"Truly bold..."

"A guy daring to play tricks in front of me..."

"I remember him now."

The demon's figure turned into a mass of black-red flame, and in an instant, he left the ward, disappearing without a trace.

Not sure if he went to look for a gun, or to find some alcohol to drink.

Crack, crack, crack...

Su Qiangwei grabbed a handful of chips, glanced at Ma Ran, raised her hand, wanting to say something, then hummed lightly and stuffed them into her mouth.

She mumbled unclearly, "Anyway, thank you!"

"If not for the life-saving means you left me, I might have already kicked the bucket now."

"Just that the Spiritual Armor doesn't fit well, a bit too big."

"Hmm..."

"Overall, it's still quite good!"

"Next time you encounter any danger, I'll definitely risk my life to save you!"

Ma Ran lowered his eyes, calmly saying: "No need."

"Mainly because you're still a bit weak now."

"You need to strengthen your training."

These words were rather biased.

Comparing the present Su Qiangwei with herself at the same time in her past life, she's copied more superpowers and her Inner Qi Cultivation is also much stronger.

Even though she didn't have extra energy to delve into the Seven Vortex Swordsmanship, in terms of combat power, Su Qiangwei is at least more than twice as strong as she was at the same time in her previous life!

This was something Ma Ran hadn't anticipated.

Originally, he thought he would shoulder more responsibilities, allowing Su Qiangwei to live life freely, letting people like Li Xing and Dong Huaiming do what they truly wanted, giving Zhu Hanyi, Wan Haihao, and Wu Di a good outcome.

But there's always a slight gap between plans and reality.

Ma Ran's objective, broadly speaking, was achieved.

But Su Qiangwei, Li Xing, Dong Huaiming, Zhu Hanyi, Wan Haihao, Wu Di...

These comrades or seniors, their strength improvement speed, all slightly exceeded expectations.

Just now, after Ma Ran said Su Qiangwei was a bit weak, he was also a bit dazed.

He himself wasn't sure what mindset he had.

Perhaps it's just a bad habit left from leading the newbie Shusi Squad back in the day?

Perhaps deep in his subconscious, there's still a little bit of wanting to see this cheerful girl grow into the invincible Battlefield Valkyrie in his memories?

"Not considerate at all! I'm angry!"

Su Qiangwei huffed, speeding up eating her chips.

Though she said so, deep down, she agreed with Ma Ran's words, without any thought of objection.

She just silently reminisced about the previous battle.

No wonder...

The performance of the Extremely Effective Monarch on the battlefield was so strange!

Turns out he was remotely controlled from the distant Eternal Civilization, with a delay!

Even a high-PIN warrior could push her to such a state...

The Pursuer and Crimson Hammer were also captured by the demon.

Statused with the term "National Guardian", with Ma Ran's full-fledged assistance, she only played a restraining role.

Too weak!

She really is, too weak!

Ma Ran was kindly reminding her.

He even considered his wording, not speaking too harshly, very much taking care of the girl's tenacious self-esteem.

Su Qiangwei was very aware of this.

But she couldn't pretend that nothing had happened!

Now, entering the interstellar era, who knows how many alien influences are eyeing Earth, constantly probing, constantly launching invasions.

The relationship between Cangming Star and Earth is very good, could be considered allies.

But after all, they're just allies.

It's impossible to rely on having strong and friendly Outer Star friends on Earth every time something big happens, right?

Even if there are, what if they didn't come to China?

There are so many countries on Earth.

China is just one of them, not special.

The other nations also endure the disasters and hardships brought by alien invaders.

At critical moments, one must rely on oneself.

In the Extraordinary Era, the significance of pinnacle combat power individuals is like the Mu Hai Bow at the end of the last century.

They may not be needed, but cannot be absent!

Without them, there's a lack of deterrence, leading to being bullied, to being beaten.

Justice?

Reason?

In the vast cosmos, those who care about these are probably very rare oddballs.

"I've decided!"

Su Qiangwei clenched her pink fists, a determined look flashed in her eyes.

Double the training intensity!

Can't let Ma Ran bear all the responsibilities!

Though she trusted Ma Ran's capabilities a lot, even thinking nobody on Earth could compare to him, but...

Her own share of responsibility should also be shouldered!

The term "National Guardian" represents never just "being powerful", right?

Even without being as powerful and trustworthy as Ma Ran, but...

Su Qiangwei planned to do her best to share some of his pressure.

"Hm!"

The girl's gaze focused on Ma Ran, she nodded, feeling that this guy having a comrade like her is probably the luckiest person in the world.

After enhancing Inner Qi Cultivation, the tolerance to high-intensity training would also increase quite a lot.

The training intensity should have been doubled a long time ago!

"No need to worry too much, the Extremely Effective Monarch is no longer on Earth."

Ma Ran, as if not noticing Su Qiangwei's expression, continued talking: "That guy is very cunning, only sent some avatars, wanting to use me and the demon to help him perform a soul surgery."

"Though he achieved his goal, but..."

"The victory in this battle is real and indisputable."

"Also..."

"His every move was within my calculations."

"Such restless guy staying alive is greatly beneficial for my subsequent plans."
