Starting with Proficiency Panel

With a mere thought, his own magnetic field suddenly spread out.

"Hey, what the hell, why did my phone screen go black?"

"Oh crap, I knew this micron phone wasn't good; I need to complain when I get back!!"

"My Apple isn't working either."

It seemed as if two slaps awakened the two women, and one of them saw her own hand bloody and mangled, letting out a painful scream.

Meanwhile, Lu Ren and Li Tianming had already descended the mountain.

Li Tianming was both excited and thrilled, yet also somewhat worried, "Teacher, why has the world become like this?"

He paused, rubbing his hands, "I want to go back home and have a look."

Lu Ren nodded slightly, "Go ahead."

After being away for several years, the longing for home only grew stronger, which Lu Ren understood.

Lu Ren looked up toward Qingcheng Mountain, not knowing how he had traversed several thousand miles from the Celestial Lake area of Changbai Mountain to Qingcheng Mountain.

After finding the Security Bureau members stationed near Qingcheng Mountain and confirming his identity, Lu Ren returned to his residence without any incident.

After communicating with Chen Changfeng and reporting to the Southwest Security Bureau, everything was concluded.

After completing these matters and arranging Li Tianming's affairs, he enjoyed a comfortable sleep.

Time flew by, and early in the morning, as he was undertaking his daily mandatory exercises in the courtyard, Zhang Li was already waiting beside his courtyard.

She curiously examined Lu Ren, "You seem to have changed even more since we last met."

As she spoke, Zhang Li pinched Lu Ren's muscles, exclaiming, "It's even tougher than old cowhide!"

Lu Ren was speechless, "You came over just for this?"

"Of course not."

Zhang Li said seriously, "I want to take you somewhere; do you have time?"

"Where?"

"It concerns the life and death of the entire world."

Lu Ren was surprised, "Such a significant matter, and you're the one informing me?"

"Hey, hey, hey, you seem a bit full of yourself."

Zhang Li was quite displeased, "No matter what, I used to be your team leader. Even though you've been promoted, you shouldn't make fun of me like this; my heart is still very sensitive and fragile!"

Lu Ren watched Zhang Li, whose skill in Fist Technique was becoming increasingly profound, and her body was undergoing a second development; at 1.8 meters tall, her taut muscles were visible beneath her sportswear.

Lu Ren nodded slightly, "I was indeed wrong, I apologize."

He sighed again.

"Can't there be just a few days of peace? I just returned and need some time to recuperate."

"There's no time; those foreigners have come too, and the Celestial Dragon has suffered some injuries. You need to take a look."

Lu Ren's eyes gleamed slightly, "Eastern Celestial Dragon, Dragon Lake Celestial Master Zhang Tongxuan?"

This man is considered the closest figure to the Determination Path Level in contemporary times, definitely at the edge of the Ninth Step of Bright Awakening. No one knows how he formed his Qi Seed or if he followed Ji Quanzhen's path of pure spiritual cultivation.

Lu Ren's interest was piqued.

"Take me to see, where is it?"

"Shanghai."

Three hours later, Lu Ren, in a private small plane, sat in a car and glanced out the window at the city that never sleeps.

Zhang Li, having delivered the information to Lu Ren, completed her task and mentioned that some unusual laws were affecting reality in the current world.

"How much longer?"

Lu Ren asked.

The driver, sneaking a glance at Lu Ren without being noticed, quickly checked the navigation map when he heard the question.

"Director Lu, there's half an hour left until we reach the Oak Space Detection Center in the suburbs of Shanghai, jointly established by Huaxia, the Beautiful Country, and Northern Bear."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ren couldn't help but raise an eyebrow; these three dominant forces rarely collaborated, mostly maintaining a triadic balance. Decades ago, before Huaxia's rise, it was a different story, but now, entangled with each other, they are hardly on good terms, often giving each other the cold shoulder.

Especially since Northern Bear discovered the Kunlun Exotic Realm Passage in Ski Country, making their conflict with the Beautiful Country extremely heated, with bloodshed frequent, reducing the situation to a quagmire.

The presence of a space monitoring institution jointly established by the three parties was quite novel for Lu Ren.

Silence prevailed on the way, and upon reaching the location, a group of people in military uniforms awaited.

When they saw Lu Ren get out of the car, the tense expressions eased slightly.

The leading middle-aged man saluted Lu Ren and said formally, "Arrow Brigade of the Eastern Group Army, Wang Yong, reporting to Major Lu Ren."

Lu Ren returned the salute, feeling a bit puzzled as to when he became a major.

"Is Celestial Master Zhang here?"

All members of this group were masters of martial arts cultivation, particularly Wang Yong, who was a Martial Arts Family member with a Great Perfection Realm of Fist Technique.

Once these individuals equipped with hot weapons entered the battlefield, they became terrifying super soldiers.

Wang Yong replied, "He's still inside, but the situation isn't very good?"

"What's not good, what do you mean?" Lu Ren said as he started to walk. "Tell me as we go."

They proceeded into Oak Mansion, greeted by emptiness, only military personnel armed to the teeth guarding all important passages.

Wang Yong said, "We've already dispersed the office staff in this building; otherwise, any conflict might affect ordinary people."

Clearly, the atmosphere felt explosive.

They entered the elevator, which sped upward swiftly, taking less than two minutes to reach the top floor of the building.

As the elevator doors opened, Lu Ren's sight was met by three groups of individuals, each standing apart, arguing heatedly.

Lu Ren immediately focused his gaze on three people.

A tall young man wearing a Taoist Robe, with a Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams diagram on his back, appeared handsome and elegant, with lips red and teeth white. His eyes gleamed with a faint, peculiar shine, and his aura seemed ethereal.

He stood silently at the side, keeping his gaze distant, lost in thought.

He exuded an aura of an Exiled Immortal in the mundane world.

From the first glance, Lu Ren identified him as none other than Zhang Tongxuan, the Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain, known as the Eastern Celestial Dragon.

However, according to the data, his age was nearing a hundred, but in Lu Ren's eyes, Zhang Tongxuan's life essence was incredibly vigorous, his vitality almost unmatched by anyone Lu Ren had ever seen.

Nearly catching up to him.

He wasn't just focused on spiritual cultivation as a Qi Refiner, but also an extraordinary martial artist with profound system martial path skills.

He was a Hexagon Warrior, advancing both spirit and body simultaneously.

So, how had he managed to condense a Qi Seed within himself?

Lu Ren could clearly sense a force slowly circulating inside him.

As Lu Ren emerged from the elevator, Zhang Tongxuan's eyes turned towards him; upon seeing Lu Ren and sensing his energy, his gaze brightened suddenly, seemingly surprised to see someone progressing along the same path as him here.
