Chapter 736 - 730: Ma Ran’s Combat Power Index
"If only it were like this."
As Ma Ran’s words became reality, the environment on the Moon underwent a drastic change in an instant.
The composition of the air, the structure of the soil, the water content, the electromagnetic ore...
The entire Moon became more suitable for life—especially for the Dream Race to thrive.
also keenly noticed this change.
It looked at Ma Ran, too excited to speak.
Truly worthy of being the pet I’ve personally raised; it still remembers its owner!
Don’t be fooled by the resemblance of its benefits to those of Blood Arrow; in reality, its treatment is countless times better!
How close the Earth and the Moon are!
In case of any bad encounters, even if they can’t win, they can always pack up and run to Earth to seek help from Ma Ran.
The relatives of Blood Arrow, who are far away in the Chuanke Star System, can only rely on themselves in a crisis.
"I have already transformed the Moon into an environment suitable for the Dream Race."
"Teach your kin well, let them coexist peacefully with Earth Civilization."
excitedly bobbed up and down: "Yes! Yes! Will do!"
Born on Earth and having grown up on Earth, it had experienced many things alongside Ma Ran, Su Qiangwei, and other Earth humans.
The frequent disasters made 98725 deeply realize that the world is not safe, full of villains, and one should never let their guard down.
After a moment of hesitation, 98725 twisted its body in the air, releasing a tiny bit of golden spore dust.
The golden dust enveloped all its newly born kin.
"I’ve already transmitted all the essential survival knowledge to them."
floated back beside Ma Ran, showing a bit of determination in its actions: "They should be able to live well on the Moon you’ve transformed."
"I want to return to the Strongman Paradise with you and strive to evolve!"
"Cultivate, become stronger, and then I can protect them well!"
The weak have no right to talk about "protection."
98725, always following Ma Ran, understood this well.
Although it longed to spend time with its kin, it looked beyond the immediate, knowing the right choice.
Ma Ran gave Little Walnut a deep look.
"Okay."
...
Whoosh!
In the Pseudo-Earth Secret Realm, inside the Strongman Paradise.
The figure of 98725 suddenly appeared.
It frolicked through the Paradise, eagerly collecting the brain waves emitted during fierce battles between participants and Divine projections—this was its way of evolution and cultivation.
Meanwhile, atop the Main Control Tower, Ma Ran’s figure emerged on the window’s edge as if naturally appearing from a watercolor painting.
At this moment, Su Qiangwei maintained her original posture, diligently cultivating "Burning Martial" and "Red Lotus Skill."
In addition, her chibi avatar was wreaking havoc outside, slaying Divine projections to gain experience, hone her superpower proficiency, and experiment with new combinations.
Multitasking was not unique to Ma Ran.
In fact, not only Su Qiangwei; on Earth, there were at least eighty or a hundred Extraordinary Ones capable of such multitasking to varying degrees.
The difference was just the number of threads.
Whether it’s three threads or ten thousand, multitasking is essentially the same.
Ma Ran looked Su Qiangwei up and down, commenting: "Not bad."
It seemed his partner had not been idle.
Earlier, Ma Ran had first intimidated Lin Ke, the Supreme of Light, then fulfilled the wishes of Blood Arrow and 98725, and the resources taken from Tu Ye were not even one billionth depleted.
He felt like he was using a cheat called "Endless Resources"—at least, this cheat won’t run out for a long time.
In his past life, he was tired of living a thrifty and pathological life.
Now, with massive resources, there’s no need to talk about thrift constantly!
The key was to efficiently convert these resources into immediate combat power!
Use up Tu Ye’s legacy to strengthen their combat power and then deal with other matters!
As long as he has the skill, he can earn resources again once they’re used up.
Silver light danced in Ma Ran’s eyes.
So, next...
Pull the time flow difference between the Strongman Paradise and Earth to the maximum!
...
All those staying in the Paradise and the audience watching the live stream received Ma Ran’s announcement simultaneously.
—The time difference between Earth and the Strongman Paradise has now been increased to the equivalent of one thousand years per day!
Originally, many audiences felt that those who could stay in the Paradise were all elites, with strong will and belief as solid as steel, able to endure ten or twenty years without leaving the Paradise. They thought the National Cultivation Competition could turn into a marathon, lasting seven to eight days, or even ten or twenty days.
After satisfying their curiosity, they might turn off the live stream and continue with their lives.
After all, people don’t live in a vacuum.
To eat, they have to work and earn money.
From this perspective, compared to the past, the Extraordinary Era just offers more opportunities to change destiny and rise in class, but the essence remains the same.
But now...
The [One Day Equals a Thousand Years] time flow ratio accelerated the live stream’s pace by a hundredfold!
This rekindled the curiosity of many viewers who started to feel uninterested.
Some Earth viewers, who were planning to leave the live stream temporarily, returned to their screens one by one.
...
On Earth, 12 hours passed.
This means 500 years have passed in the Strongman Paradise!
Ma Ran slowly opened his eyes, looking at his comrades beside him.
During these 500 years, he had been quietly cultivating with Su Qiangwei, organizing past experiences, refining his abilities, and greatly benefiting from it.
The top-notch abilities like the Prophet and Sword Master could now be perfectly integrated, used in combination, achieving a synergy greater than the sum of their parts.
Now, Ma Ran had the confidence to eliminate the Supreme of Light in a one-on-one bout.
Simultaneously, he was ready to confront the Divine Court head-on.
Currently, only over seven hundred people remained in the Strongman Paradise.
Throughout these 500 years, people had continuously left the Paradise for various reasons, returning to Earth.
As a result, Earth experienced tremendous changes!
As Ma Ran put it, Earth had directly leapt from "Middle Martial" to "Super Martial," marching proudly into a new era!
On this day, Ma Ran, with a thought, provided a new dataset for the audience in the live stream.
Quick-witted netizens immediately noticed a new option added to the point rankings of the National Cultivation Competition—Combat Power Sorting.
Upon opening it, a statement and instructions for the sorting automatically appeared.
① A Combat Power Index exceeding ten thousand signifies Lower Rank God combat power; exceeding a million signifies Middle Rank God combat power; exceeding 1 Giga signifies having Supreme Ruler-level combat power.)
② The results of the Ice River Immortals are not counted in the final ranking.
③ Combat Power Index and Activity Points are calculated separately and can be sorted freely.
Regardless of sorting by Combat Power Index or Activity Points, Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei always ranked in the top two positions.
Even though the Earth God List exists, people are aware of who is strong or weak among the Extraordinary Ones, but there were no specific data for reference.
Now that official data were available, the vast majority of the viewers in the live stream chose to sort by Combat Power Index immediately, viewing it directly as the Earth Combat Power Index Ranking.
Fair!
Open!
Authoritative!
Highly credible!
Some audience members, who loved to argue about combat power, became especially enthusiastic.
They wanted to see if the strong individuals they often praised were as powerful as imagined, and if the Extraordinary Ones they often disparaged were as weak as they predicted.
Select Combat Power Sorting.
And on it was written...
First, Prophet Ma Ran, 3.1 Giga
A thunderous opening!
