My Ability Is Role-playing

Chapter 593 - 587: Sword Fifth Realm · Creation Inversion!

The feedback from this [play] came earlier than Ma Ran expected.

In the medal repository, the [Sword Master] medal, lying quietly, began to glow with radiant golden light.

This brilliant golden light gradually condensed, gathered, and slowly swept across the edges of the sword-shaped medal.

The parts touched by this light permanently changed color, exuding a divine radiance.

In the blink of an eye, the [Sword Master] medal completed its upgrade while maintaining its basic form.

The edge and hilt of the medal turned completely golden, while the spine and body of the sword retained their original silvery-white color.

"..."

Ma Ran slowly opened his eyes, the slight ripples in his eyes calming, his demeanor peaceful.

The [Sword Master] medal had upgraded, but hadn’t completely transformed.

After a long buildup, this time’s distribution of the Seven Vortex Swordsmanship Adventure was a truly global live broadcast. Not to mention the official media of various countries, just the viewers on the Earth Super Forum watching the live stream exceeded 800 million!

The server hosted on the Earth Super Forum had long been overwhelmed by the terrifying traffic—no matter how top-tier the configuration was, it couldn’t withstand the enthusiasm and curiosity of netizens worldwide.

If the academic society hadn’t anticipated this and arranged for appropriate superpower users in advance, at least 800 million viewers would be staring blankly at black screens on their phones, computers, and platforms by now.

Apart from the familiar top-tier Earth extraordinary ones, seven new valuable [audiences] were watching the live broadcast on site, and many scenes in Ma Ran’s script had yet to play out.

Thus, the upgrade of the [Sword Master] medal was merely a complement to the previous settings.

Fifth Realm of Swordsmanship!

What exactly does it represent, and what mysteries does it hold? Earthlings do not know.

With Lin Qiubai’s arrogant character, he couldn’t possibly explain patiently to the audience.

Ma Ran didn’t directly recite lines to explain the setting but instead arranged for the super data life form [Hong] to push clues and information to suitable netizens, and then let the Sword Master appear before the people and demonstrate abilities never before shown, thus easily achieving the first stage goal.

The imaginative audience, not just Su Qiangwei, believes Lin Qiubai’s strength surpasses [Profound Immortal] Zhao Guanlan and they almost all insist that the power of the Fifth Realm of Swordsmanship is closely related to the "Sword Secret Realm" just opened.

All the others on site focused on the scenes within the secret realm, except for Su Qiangwei, there was no one paying attention to Ma Ran’s mood changes.

The Profound Light Mirror showed that twenty-five lucky ones transformed into swords were in the secret realm being chased by a variety of flying swords.

Some lucky ones chose to confront head-on, some fought while retreating, sparks flew, spiritual qi erupted, flows of color splattered—a great sight.

Each time one of the lucky ones counter-killed a flying sword and cut it down, they could always absorb a grain of ambiguous "light spot" from it, immediately becoming tougher or sharper, evidently gaining quite benefits.

Whether in the great hall or in the livestream rooms, even though the audience made wild imaginations, developing for [Sword Master] Lin Qiubai a large set of premises, two abilities this time upon the Sword Master’s appearance were almost unanimously acknowledged by people.

First, life transformation—person is sword, sword is person, the cold steel and the living flesh in front of the Fifth Realm of Swordsmanship can freely be converted.

Second, mastering a deeper level of power of space—able to bare-handedly open a relatively stable secret realm, which can be used for disciples to practice, besides, according to the live broadcast of the Profound Light Mirror, the secret realm seemingly can also be used for slaughter.

Therefore...

After the upgrade of the [Sword Master] medal, besides the perfect inheritance of past abilities, an additional characteristic emerged.

Ma Ran decided to call this...

Creation Inversion!

With the assistance of the advanced [Sword Master] medal, Ma Ran could weave the power of imagination to create a real yet universe-defying secret realm!

For example: a secret realm where people can survive for a long time without breathing or heartbeat; a secret realm where after entering, you don’t need to do anything and just idle around to rapidly boost your strength; a secret realm filled with metals capable of thinking and breathing...

However...

The greater the gap between the rules and reality of the secret realm, the higher the consumption.

If Ma Ran now only had this outwardly golden, inwardly silver [Sword Master] medal, and without the multiplication medals like [Demon Offspring], [Profound Immortals], [Game Main God], and the comprehensive support of "Burning Martial," relying solely on the Enclosure Text, it was actually doable to create a "Sword Secret Realm."

Only...

In that case, Ma Ran’s physical energy, spiritual power, and sword spirit power would be drained in a very short time, making it impossible to maintain the existence of the secret realm for more than half an hour.

Of course, that assumption doesn’t exist.

With Ma Ran’s current comprehensive strength, even without using the Enclosure Text, creating a real "Sword Secret Realm" could at least be maintained for three weeks.

During the secret realm’s maintenance, the consumed star power, physical energy, and spiritual power wouldn’t be permanently lost, they could be naturally restored to their original states.

Ma Ran slightly squinted his eyes, lost in thought.

Overall...

The newly gained ability of the Sword Master medal is quite creative, offering a lot of interesting "solutions" and new "ways to clear the stage."

The "Sword Secret Realm" woven by the Enclosure Text is a fake existence, maintaining it consumes almost no energy at all. Although Ma Ran could now "turn false into true," there...

There’s no need for that at the moment.

Even a mere secret realm of Enclosure Text is enough to achieve the purpose.

You should know...

Swordsmanship talent can be enhanced later in life.

For those below six points of talent, through brainwashing and repeated self-hypnosis, there’s a possibility of enhancing up to six points.

Ma Ran’s Enclosure Text illusion is much more advanced than those psychologists and hypnotists!

Moreover, the entire Enclosure Text secret realm will be maintained for nearly a whole day, and Ma Ran certainly wouldn’t have all the viewers staring at the Profound Light Mirror for more than twenty hours—that would be too dull.

The Sword Secret Realm is merely today’s first event.

From Ma Ran’s personal standpoint, the subsequent performances in his script are even more exciting.

After all...

The protagonist of the story "Lord of the Red Lotus" is named Ye Fengqing.

Whether it’s the Sword Master, Profound Immortal, or other characters, they’re merely guest appearances.

She hasn’t shown her strength simply because her time hasn’t come yet, that’s all there is to it.

The buildup of background stories and the brewing of atmosphere are as important in [play] as the highlights!

The upgrade of the [Sword Master] medal is the best example.

Without Lord [Profound Immortal] Zhao Guanlan emerging to do the dirty work, awe the scene with righteous evil, and act as a stepping stone, being a triple foil in strength, achievements, and character, how could the upgrade of the [Sword Master] be so smooth and seamless?

Lin Qiubai and Zhao Guanlan’s performance does indeed help Ma Ran fully tap into the potential of [play].

However...

Given the current friendship cameo scenes of these two, coupled with the subsequent "manifestation scenes" of Ye Fengqing in the script...

After a moment of role reversal, Ma Ran, viewing purely as an audience, thinks that no matter which generation of Cangming Overlord wants to seize the main role of [Lord of the Red Lotus] at this time point, there are extremely high difficulties involved.
