I fabricated myths to guide the revival of spiritual energy.

Kunlun Mountain, the summit.

The cold wind howls, and the snow remains unmelted year-round.

Gu Qing sat cross-legged on a boulder at the edge of the cliff. His eyes were not open, but in his mind, a huge holographic map was flashing in real time.

That's the system's monitoring interface.

At this moment, the map of China resembles a black silk ribbon covered with red spots. Each red dot represents an abnormal burst of psionic energy; and within this chilling red expanse, hundreds of green lights are moving rapidly, like a swarm of tireless fireflies trying to break through the long night.

Gu Qing opened his eyes, his pupils seemingly reflecting the lights of countless homes. He looked at the green dots, a faint smile curving his lips.

"The fledgling eagle has finally learned to fly after leaving the nest."

He waved his hand gently, and the sea of ​​clouds surged.

"System, retrieve real-time footage from the Northeast, Southwest, and Lingnan regions."

……

Northeast China, on the edge of the Greater Khingan Mountains, a logging station in a forest farm.

The temperature here is as low as minus thirty degrees Celsius, and water poured on it freezes instantly.

"roar--!"

A black bear, the size of a truck, stood upright, its body reeking of nauseating blood and demonic energy. Its eyes were an eerie scarlet red; it was clearly no ordinary beast, but a demonic creature driven mad by the influence of the spiritual energy tide.

Opposite it stood a burly man with his shirt off.

The burly man's muscles bulged, and his skin had a bronze metallic sheen. He carried no sword, nor did he use any talismans; his only weapons were his fists, which were larger than earthenware pots.

He is Chen Wu, a student in the Kunlun Physical Education Department. Before entering the school, he was a fitness instructor, and now he is a practitioner of the "Indestructible Vajra Body".

"I told you, this forest is under my jurisdiction!"

Chen Wu exhaled a breath of white air. Facing the black bear's massive paw slamming down, he didn't retreat but advanced, letting out a furious roar:

"The Immovable King Body!"

"open!!!"

"clang--!"

A bear paw powerful enough to shatter rocks slammed into Chen Wu's shoulder, producing a deafening clang like metal striking metal. Chen Wu's feet sank half a foot into the frozen ground, but he didn't budge an inch!

The elderly forest rangers behind them stared in disbelief, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets. Was this even human?

"Lie down!"

Taking advantage of the black bear's exhaustion of old strength and lack of new strength, Chen Wu suddenly grabbed one of the black bear's legs, his spiritual power erupting and his blood vessels bulging like earthworms.

"rise!"

He actually managed to lift this two-ton black bear monster up and slam it down like a broken sack onto a large tree that would take three people to encircle.

"Boom—"

The tree snapped in half, and the black bear let out a mournful howl, still struggling.

Chen Wu gave him no chance at all, riding on the bear's back and raining down punches.

"You dare scare your fellow villagers!"

"So you'll be chasing after Bald Qiang every day!"

"That'll teach you to stop Bald Qiang from cutting down trees!"

"You're treating the forest like your own backyard!"

Each punch was accompanied by the sound of bones shattering.

Three minutes later.

Chen Wu stood up, wiped the bear blood from his face, turned around and gave the terrified forest rangers a simple, honest smile:

"Grandpa, it's alright now. This bear has become a spirit. I'll take it back and hand it over to the school cafeteria... no, I mean, to the relevant authorities."

……

Lingnan, Guangzhou, a certain urban village.

This is a densely populated area with narrow, dark, and damp alleyways.

The area has been cordoned off by the police. A green miasma hangs in the air, and many residents are experiencing symptoms such as vomiting and fainting.

"It's a Gu poison, and a Gu poison that has mutated due to the mixing of spiritual energy."

A girl wearing black-rimmed glasses and with her hair in a ponytail was squatting outside the quarantine area, holding a... rice cooker?

She is Su Xiaoyu, a top student in the Kunlun Dan Dao Department.

"Officer, don't let the SWAT team in. Gas masks won't protect you from this kind of spiritual poison." Su Xiaoyu said as she quickly threw various medicinal herbs into the rice cooker: dried gecko, cinnabar, and a few herbs that emitted a fluorescent glow.

"Young lady, are you... cooking porridge?" The police captain leading the team looked completely bewildered.

"This is a portable alchemy furnace (modified)."

Without looking up, Su Xiaoyu's fingers flew across the rice cooker's touchscreen. "Set the heat to 'firewood rice' mode, which simulates 'gentle fire'; then add spiritual water every three minutes..."

"alright!"

With a "ding" from the rice cooker, a refreshing medicinal fragrance instantly masked the foul stench of the miasma.

Su Xiaoyu lifted the lid, revealing a pot of crystal-clear green medicinal liquid.

"Dilute this with water and spray it into the alley using a high-pressure water gun! Quickly!"

Although the police captain was skeptical, he decided to give it a shot and immediately ordered the operation to be carried out.

A miracle happened.

Where the medicinal liquid was sprayed, the green miasma melted away rapidly, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun. After inhaling the medicinal vapor, the unconscious residents' complexions visibly began to regain their rosy hue.

"This...this is really alchemy???" The captain was full of questions.

Su Xiaoyu adjusted her glasses and corrected her earnestly, "No, this is an interdisciplinary subject of chemistry and metaphysics. Also, remember to return the rice cooker to me; it's the one we use to cook instant noodles in our dorm."

……

Southwest, a light rail station that passes through a building.

A strange bird with a wingspan of over five meters was circling in the air, repeatedly slamming against the windows of the light rail train. Passengers inside the carriage screamed incessantly.

"Target altitude 150 meters, wind speed level 3, extremely fast movement."

On the rooftop of a nearby high-rise building, a boy with a buzz cut was wearing VR glasses and operating a controller that looked like a drone.

He is Chen Bo, a student of the Talisman Department and a former DJI drone engineer.

"The biggest problems with traditional talismans are their range and accuracy," Chen Bo said, chewing gum as his fingers flew across the controller. "But what if we added a guidance system to the talismans?"

In the night sky, a formation of twelve small drones swooped down on the strange bird like falcons.

On the bottom of each drone was a yellow talisman that flashed with lightning.

"Enemy locked on."

Chen Bo pressed the Enter key.

"Heavenly Thunder Array, version 3.0, activate."

The twelve drones hovered around the strange bird instantly, creating blue electrical connections between them to form a huge six-pointed star electric grid, trapping the bird firmly in the center.

"burst."

"Sizzle—Boom!"

A blinding flash of lightning illuminated the night sky over the mountain town. The strange bird didn't even have time to utter a cry before it was instantly carbonized by the high-voltage lightning, turning into a charred lump that fell into the river.

On the light rail train, passengers, still shaken, could only see through the windows the twelve drones changing formations in the air, finally lighting up to spell out the word "Kunlun" before speeding away.

……

Five o'clock in the morning.

The east is turning white.

This night was a breathtaking and mind-blowing one for the Chinese people.

On the command screen at the headquarters of Bureau 749, the once densely packed red dots have faded by 90%.

Lu Zhiming's hands trembled as he looked at the thick stack of battle reports in his hand.

"Total annihilation..."

"Overnight, all 128 Class D paranormal incidents that broke out across the country were resolved."

"No one died; only a few students sustained minor injuries."

He looked up at the rising sun outside the window, his eyes filled with awe.

This doesn't look like a group of students at all.

This is clearly a future legion that possesses extraordinary power and is armed with modern knowledge...

Kunlun Mountain.

Gu Qing stood up and patted the snowflakes off her clothes.

The system notification sound finally stopped.

[Ding! Phase 1 mission complete: Young Eagle Trial.]

[Evaluation: Shocking the world. Your students have declared the arrival of the era of cultivation to the world through their actions.]

Gu Qing looked at the number and nodded in satisfaction.

He took out his phone and typed a new message on the app that only the entire school's teachers and students could see:

You did a great job tonight.

But remember, the real enemy is never just the "indigenous people" of the earth.
