For Ma Kun, after the battle in the Northern Border City ended, they received the corpse of the mutated Earl, wanting to analyze the “corruption” mentioned by Nie Ping.
With the help of instruments, they successfully found the mysterious energy existing on the corpse, but no matter what, they couldn’t make anyone perceive it in the spiritual realm.
Until news came from Jiangbei City that someone had been found who could perceive this mysterious energy.
Ma Kun and the others couldn’t wait to come here, wanting to find Su Ran and get to the bottom of it.
The gazes from around the conference room were varied: curious, probing, and also questioning.
Even Winnie, standing behind Su Ran, was curious about Su Ran’s ability to observe the mysterious energy.
Because Her Highness the Princess had mentioned that even Headmaster Milady of Planden needed the help of several magic formations to observe this energy.
Combining this with the current performance of these researchers from the Human Federation, Su Ran was the only one who observed it through her own perception.
Sitting in the wheelchair, Su Ran was calm and composed in the face of Ma Kun’s inquiry.
Before this meeting, she had already thought of countermeasures and explanations.
The purpose of getting that document about the Northern Border City from Winnie was also to find a reason for the other party to meet with her.
The world they were in was probably her biggest secret.
Su Ran would never tell them about it.
But there was one thing they could investigate, and even she herself could prove it now.
Although Bai Yun had once warned her, at present, the only way to explain her sensing of the mysterious energy was this.
“Please prepare a crystal ball for talent testing for me.”
Although he didn’t know what Su Ran needed this for, Ma Kun still chose to cooperate with her, nodding at Li Shanhai and gesturing for him to prepare it.
This kind of crystal ball for talent testing was very common.
After a short while, Li Shanhai found a crystal ball and returned to the conference room, handing it to Su Ran.
Under everyone’s gaze, Su Ran used her spirit to slowly mobilize her magic essence and inject it into the crystal ball.
The originally transparent crystal ball quickly became cloudy, and wisps of white mist rose, a sign of magic essence.
“To be able to do this in less than five seconds, this girl’s talent is not bad.”
Ma Kun secretly nodded after seeing the magic essence talent Su Ran displayed, but he still didn’t know what this scene had to do with Su Ran’s ability to observe the mysterious energy.
Gradually, the gaseous magic essence in the crystal ball gathered, and drops of white water floated in the center of the crystal ball.
“A liquid magic essence transformation, and it’s pure-colored!”
Although the talent of liquid magic essence was not common, Ma Kun had seen many of them.
But if the word “pure-colored” was added, Ma Kun had not seen many at all.
Not only him, but the others in the conference room were also looking at Su Ran with fervent eyes.
Because pure-colored meant that Su Ran would reach the extreme in a certain series of magic, and the extreme was also the key to entering a high-sequence.
But the shock Su Ran brought to the people present did not stop there.
Under the almost dazed gazes of the crowd, more and more water droplets filled the inside of the crystal ball.
They began to continuously squeeze and condense.
Finally, under the incredible gazes of everyone, an ice crystal appeared inside the crystal ball, lying quietly inside.
“Sub… substantial?”
“Am I not dreaming?”
“So this kind of talent really exists?”
The crowd couldn’t believe their eyes.
The magic essence inside the crystal ball in front of them had gathered into a solid ice crystal.
A nearly substantial magic essence transformation had appeared before their eyes.
“Is there something wrong with the crystal ball?”
Suddenly, a voice appeared, jolting the researchers.
They hurriedly took the crystal ball from Su Ran’s hand and began to inspect it.
The nearly substantial magic essence transformation in front of them made them almost forget the questions they had just asked Su Ran.
In the entire conference room, if there was anyone who could remain calm, it would be Winnie, who was standing behind Su Ran.
She could vaguely guess a little about Su Ran’s magic essence talent.
“It’s not broken…”
After repeated inspections, the researchers confirmed one thing: the crystal ball used for talent testing was not broken.
Su Ran’s magic essence talent was truly nearly substantial.
Winnie and Ma Kun, after confirming this point, suddenly remembered the purpose for which they had sought out Su Ran.
“Could it be that you can sense the mysterious energy because of the influence of your nearly substantial magic essence talent?”
Facing Ma Kun’s question, Su Ran nodded affirmatively.
The reason she had exposed her magic essence talent was to give herself a good excuse for her perception.
She was different now from before she had joined the Blood Hunters.
She had become a Blood Hunter and had a close connection with Winnie, who was the branch head.
Even if she exposed her talent, she had the Blood Hunters as her backer.
Moreover, with her talent and Winnie’s relationship, the Blood Hunters would only actively show her goodwill.
“I can’t explain why I can sense this energy, but the only thing different about me should be this.”
Su Ran spoke ambiguously, precisely to leave some room for imagination for these researchers, to give them space for their own interpretations.
“The more sensitive to the changes in the surrounding magic essence, the more likely it is to detect this mysterious energy.”
“Why must it be in the aspect of magic essence? Is it because your thesis is in the direction of magic essence? In my opinion, it must be the magic essence talent that has driven the transformation of the spiritual power, which gives her the ability to observe this mysterious energy.”
For a moment, the researchers in the conference room were divided into two factions and began to argue among themselves.
“Isn’t spiritual power used to sense the changes in magic essence?”
At this moment, Su Ran spoke weakly, causing the two factions of researchers to stop their discussion and turn to look at her.
Being stared at, Su Ran felt a little creeped out.
Until they looked at her with a look of deep regret, and then continued their argument.
Su Ran boldly asked Ma Kun, who was the only one not arguing, “Are they always like this?”
“Yes, they’re always like this.”
Ma Kun looked at the researchers in front of him and shook his head helplessly.
“Besides having a nearly substantial magic essence talent like yours to observe the mysterious energy, is there any other simple way to observe it?”
What Ma Kun was looking for was a simple way to observe the energy.
Only in this way could this mysterious energy be included in the alert and detection.
Because, whether it was monsters like the mutated Earls or the two homicide cases in Jiangbei City, the appearance of this energy was something that affected the daily stability of the people.
Only by timely discovery and timely stifling, could the safety and stability of the Human Federation be maintained.
