For a moment, everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere at the scene was extremely eerie.
The renowned and globally dominating [Martial God] Su Qiangwei, a super idol with countless hardcore fans, turns out to be so "lively and cheerful" in daily life?
Doesnât she need a persona?
Her behavior just now was so different from how she appeared in the promotional video!
Itâs like sheâs a completely different person!
Many people present, upon seeing this, felt a strong sense of dissonance and contrast, and couldnât help but start murmuring.
"What the heck!"
"Is this for real...?"
"Darn! Who are you really? Prophet, hurry up and take back this fairy! Sheâs possessed my Martial God!"
"The image of the valiant Valkyrie who saved people from danger in the Lotus City Demon Mountain is shattered..."
"Doesnât this version of Su Qiangwei seem much more down-to-earth? Compared to the perfect [Martial God] image in the promotional video, this version of her feels closer to reality, more like a living person."
"[Prophet] is the same, almost like a gentle and handsome boy-next-door."
"Honestly, I didnât care much for the Martial God before, but now I think if I keep watching, I might become a fan."
"Hahahaha! Even though it feels a bit oddly comedic, Sister Qiangwei is so cute!"
"Is this the real [Martial God]? Love it, love it!"
"I ship [Prophet] and [Martial God]!"
"Flicked on the forehead? Such a charming interaction... I want Prophet to flick me too! Waaa!"
"If Ma Ran flicks you lightly, I bet your brains would spill out, do you believe that?"
"I just said it casually, donât take it seriously!"
"Exactly, who dares to compete with Master Qiangwei! Even the National Guardian level ability user Jin Yina plays it safe in front of the Martial God!"
"I canât shake the feeling that youâre implying something sarcastically..."
"Just because weâre friendly, donât ramble on carelessly, or Iâll sue you for slander!"
Besides the rowdy crowd causing a commotion, there were still some journalists with higher moral standards who, staying true to their purpose, rushed to the "Profound Light Mirror" and began to ask questions.
"Prophet, over an hour ago, you demonstrated âVacuum Levelâ strength as assessed by the Chuanke Civilization in Busan. Some consider this a hallmark of reaching the âNon-human Domainâ and a milestone event in the extraordinary history of Earth humans. What are your personal thoughts on this?"
Before this journalist could get a response, other invited journalists abandoned their professional ethics and began to press more questions.
"Ms. Su Qiangwei, during the counterattack against the Eternal Civilization, Mr. Ma Ran not only brought back a Peace Covenant and Ceasefire Agreement but also brought back technical data on Genetic Potions and Mechas. Yet, there are no related products on the market. I know the formulation process for Genetic Potions is mature; when will they be available to the public and benefit everyone?"
"Compared to such boring questions, arenât Mechas more inherently fascinating topics? Why not ask about Mechas? The brutal collision of metal and firepower is the romance of men!"
"Nonsense! Girls like Mechas too! My daughter doesnât love Barbie dolls; she particularly likes the Iron Man I bought for her!"
"If you donât have a question, get lost and donât take up space!"
"Mr. Ma Ran, is the rumored [Prophet VS Profound Immortal] just a mere gimmick, or is there something to it?
Surrounding the topic of National Guardian levels, you could talk for three days and nights without finishing. Any exclusive scoop can make a journalistâs worth skyrocket instantly and complete a triple jump in their career level and experience.
Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei among National Guardian-level powerhouses are considered to have quite good tempers, but even they wouldnât answer everything, giving everyone an answer.
In a situation with more monks and less porridge, the journalists didnât care much for professional conduct anymore. If it werenât for Ma Ranâs "Star Power Incarnation" being right in front of them, a full-on brawl might have already ensued.
Biu!
The Profound Light Mirror disappeared without a trace.
After all, its appearance was merely to prove the authenticity of "Star Power Incarnation" and "Twenty Ranks of Inner Qi," not to provide answers to questions.
Answering too many questions would instead easily shift the focus of peopleâs attention.
Ma Ranâs "Star Power Incarnation" was, in fact, merely a clever use of Inner Qi + Medals + Youwen Text Illusion + Biological Signal Relay Station.
In reality, now Ma Ran only needs a thought to appear in most regions within China. Although he canât cover every corner, most first-tier cities are under his protection.
To cover the entire country more deeply will still take a considerable amount of time.
The storyline of the big red balloon containing the Star Power Incarnation was just to enhance the presentation and make a memorable impression on the audience; it was not necessary during crucial moments.
"I already know your questions."
Standing in front of the stage, Ma Ran turned sideways, extended his index finger, and made a slash behind him.
Swish!
A square light screen appeared before the crowd.
Inside the light screen, a "video" was playing.
"Here is all the experiences of me with the Martial God, Profound Immortal, Yin Yang Master, and others rushing to aid Busan, including the entire participation of over a dozen National Guardian-level ability users from Earth against the Chuanke Civilization."
Speaking of all experiences, itâs actually an edited highlights version.
After all, no one is interested in mundane parts like taking a plane to travel and eating and drinking; there are only a few fleeting moments here and there.
Up to this point, people in the museum had forgotten that this was originally the new book release of Dong Huaimingâs "Interstellar Counterattack."
By now, the release event had already turned into a news broadcast.
Journalists from major media outlets were aiming their cameras at the screen right from the start.
This was the "full version" of the [Chuanke Movie] starring a total of thirteen National Guardians, fundamentally different from the fragmented footage and sound previously obtained through live streaming!
The not-so-brief journey had been edited down to just forty minutes in Ma Ranâs hands.
These forty minutes, every shot was the essence, with no redundancy, making everyone watch intently, fearing they might miss some valuable "plot" if they werenât careful.
The movie is mainly divided into five parts, each plot segment being around eight minutes long.
The first scene is of Ma Ran in Northeast China, looking over the sea at Zhao Guanlan. In their dialogue, he foretells the "Sea Monster Disaster" and "Chuanke Invasion," and they verbally establish a strategic partnership.
The second scene is of Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan exterminating Feng Yuji, then explaining the situation to Yin Yang Master Ogata Shitou and setting sail for Busan, with a transit in China.
The third scene is in the KR Extraordinary Comprehensive Arena, where Park Yong-jun, once known as the [Strongest Man of 7 Billion], is instantly defeated by Su Qiangwei and then acknowledges Su Qiangwei and Ma Ran.
In addition, many keen observers noticed a scene in this part, which seemed unnecessary from a plot structure standpoint.
It was Zhao Guanlanâs evaluation of Ma Ranâs new title.
"[Lord God] huh..."
"I actually quite like this term too."
