But Ma Ran didn't do that.
Compared to Shang, Ma Ran trusted 98725, whom he had subdued while in its larval state.
Part of the spiritual power Shang used to create the dream was also unobtrusively absorbed and assimilated by Ma Ran.
The growth in spiritual power also drove the long-stagnant Youwen prowess to new heights.
In no time, Ma Ran mastered a new minor technique that a seasoned Youwen Grandmaster should know—the Triggered Illusion Bomb.
The specific function of this ability, in short, is to embed a Youwen Crystal within the spiritual power of any living being, set a trigger condition, and when the condition is met, the Youwen Crystal will detonate directly.
Having shattered the dream space and absorbed part of Shang's spiritual power as resources for Youwen research, Ma Ran was more composed than ever before.
