My Ability Is Role-playing-Chapter 403 - 396: Peerless Fiend Ma Ran

At the scene, Ma Ran broke through to the Nineteen Rank of Inner Qi without using Enclosure Text to conceal it. Although his demeanor remained calm, appearing no different than before, the momentum emanating from him was noticeably stronger than before.

Third Prince of Chuanke, Adam instinctively took two steps back, his brows furrowed, as ghostly light flickered in his pitch-black, pupil-less eyes: "As expected, at this moment, you have already expanded ’Burning Martial’ to the Nineteen Rank!"

"It’s at the true ’Vacuum Level’ of meaning!"

"Not the kind that’s rushed; it’s perfectly grounded, with a complete foundation, and immensely powerful momentum..."

"Honestly, I really can’t understand how someone like you, born from a low-level civilization... a person, could achieve this level."

"This talent and flair are simply, simply..."

Adam searched for a long time but couldn’t find an appropriate word.

Not far away, Su Qiangwei squinted her eyes and added, "Terrifying to this extent?"

Adam applauded: "Yes! That’s exactly what I wanted to say!"

But for some reason, looking at Su Qiangwei’s expression, as if stifling laughter, he always felt like she was using some obscure Earth-based cold joke to taunt him.

After Ma Ran "revealed his true realm," the previously composed Eldest Prince’s expression slightly changed. Though he didn’t instinctively retreat like Third Prince Adam, his facial expression still betrayed his inward turmoil.

"Just now, Adam destroyed Seventh Princess Eve’s body."

Ma Ran focused his gaze on Li Tang and spoke, extending his left hand with a grab in the air: "Now, it’s your turn to prove your loyalty."

Buzz!

A gust of fierce wind surged, and a translucent humanoid silhouette appeared before everyone’s eyes.

It was the soul body of Seventh Princess Eve!

At this moment, she was caught in Ma Ran’s hand, struggling desperately but completely unable to move.

The soul is formless and intangible, invisible to the naked eyes of normal humans, but after the National Guardian level Ability User "Judge" Wang Shuyin transformed into the Netherworld, he naturally mastered the ability of soul rendering.

With the accolades of "Academic Demon" and "Martial Arts Celestial Pride," Ma Ran just by stepping into the Netherworld and observing for a while, also researched similar techniques for fusing Spiritual Power and Inner Qi.

Having 98,725 acts of selfless dedication and having harvested the divinity of "God" Gray, Ma Ran’s talent in soul and spirit even surpasses his talent in Inner Qi cultivation.

So achieving this level is actually quite normal.

Anyhow, Su Qiangwei thought that the scene before her was quite reasonable.

"Judge" can achieve it, so "Prophet" can certainly do it too!

Why?

No reason is needed.

The strong remain strong!

"..."

Eldest Prince of Chuanke, Li Tang’s gaze focused on Ma Ran’s hand as he sighed: "Must it be this way?"

Third Prince Adam destroying Seventh Princess Eve’s physical body is easy to explain, after all, Chuanke Civilization is adequately advanced, and the Seventh Princess herself is not just any ordinary civilian. Her soul does not dissipate easily, and there’s an opportunity for resurrection through a backup body.

But now...

Truly eradicating the Seventh Princess’s soul would make it hard to give an account once back.

The struggle for the throne, while bloody and brutal, often mainly affects civilians and people from other planets. Within the imperial family, there can be schemes and calculations, but openly killing each other is not allowed.

This is the bottom line set by Emperor Chuanke.

However, the problem is, does he truly have the qualifications to refuse?

Li Tang’s eyes met Ma Ran’s.

In Ma Ran’s eyes, the faint crimson glow made Li Tang feel a sharp pain in his eyes, stalling his breathing, causing his hair to stand on end, breaking into a cold sweat, as though his heart had stopped beating.

Eldest Prince Li Tang instinctively avoided Ma Ran’s gaze, tilting his head, and struggled to say: "I... understand."

Some words don’t need to be spoken too clearly.

Just a look, and Li Tang understood Ma Ran’s meaning — cooperate or die!

No third path was available when the situation weighed heavily against him.

Li Tang now felt a pinch of regret.

If he had stayed within the interstellar battleship group, no matter how strong Ma Ran’s power, he couldn’t just charge in for a decapitation strike.

The harsh reality is, the smooth development Chuanke Civilization has experienced these years has ultimately made people like those in the Chuanke Star System accustomed to arrogance, even someone as outwardly approachable as Eldest Prince Li Tang inherently differs little from other Chuanke people.

After suffering a setback from "Profound Immortal" Zhao Guanlan, Li Tang thought he already placed sufficient importance on Earth. Only after being absolutely sure that Zhao Guanlan was separate from "Prophet" Ma Ran did he make any move.

The fact remains, his sense of importance was not enough!

Ma Ran’s strength exceeded everyone’s imagination!

His combat power and realm are in no way inferior to the present Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan!

Even without considering "soul completion" divine techniques, simply on individual combat power, Ma Ran could carve out a niche for himself amidst the vast galaxy!

The first encounter, Ma Ran didn’t strike immediately — maybe due to missing intelligence, or other reasons...

But now, saying that is too late.

There isn’t a second chance.

Eldest Prince Li Tang is also a person who can make decisive decisions.

Choosing a lesser evil, either being immediately killed by Ma Ran, or shattering the soul of Seventh Princess Eve.

A third path?

Only those strong have the qualifications to choose a third path.

Facing Ma Ran, Li Tang dared not claim superiority.

The oppressing momentum from the other side sweeping over, in an instant, made Li Tang feel as if he was on an abandoned, desolate planet, standing amidst a sea of corpses and blood, locking gazes with a peerless ferocious being covered in blood.

Amid the solitude and bloodlust, there was an aura of madness, ready to take the enemy down together at any moment.

The disparity in power and realm may not be as exaggerated, after all, he, Li Tang, is the Eldest Prince of Chuanke Civilization, a respectable "Vacuum Level" strong person, having received knowledge infusion and top-tier prenatal education since the womb, receiving all kinds of premium resources spared no expense throughout his growth.

Combat skills, techniques, secret techniques, nourishment, gear, combat pets, battle experience...

Everything is top-tier.

Even looking purely at the "Vacuum Level," Li Tang is a strong person with virtually no weaknesses.

However, there’s one aspect, that even the proud Li Tang must admit, pales in comparison to Ma Ran — battle willpower.

With just one eye-contact, Li Tang realized clearly, that he lacked the means to contend with Ma Ran.

If his will was like a sampan, then Ma Ran’s mind and will were robust like the vast ocean!

They weren’t on the same level at all.

Perhaps Ma Ran didn’t have many trump cards or accumulated resources, but in a fight to the end, the one to die would certainly be Li Tang! — That was the judgment Li Tang reached in an instant.

He was afraid

Though unwilling to admit it, Li Tang very clearly knew that fear had already planted itself deep within his heart.

At this moment, Li Tang dared not defy Ma Ran at all, not even dare to negotiate terms.

The conditions posed by the other party, apart from execution, left no other choice, essentially.
