Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

The next morning.

Major cities began broadcasting the morning news—

"According to reports from front-line journalists, a major casualty incident occurred on Jiangzhou Avenue at exactly eleven o'clock last night. After investigation, it was found that the victims all exhibited signs of being bitten. This characteristic is the same as the casualty incidents that occurred a few days ago, and it is preliminarily suspected to be the work of the same suspect."

Jiangzhou TV Station.

"Morning news, at eleven o'clock last night, a biting incident occurred at a location in Jiangzhou City. After the investigation by front-line journalists, it has been confirmed that the suspect is likely related to a group of patients infected with the virus."

Jiangbei TV Station.

"Recently, scientists have discovered that the temperature across Huaxia is developing towards equilibrium. Scientists are currently researching this phenomenon. Global warming has been ruled out, so it will not cause glacier melting. Please, citizens, carry on with your lives as normal and do not panic."

Yanjing Morning News.

"Scientists in the geological department have made significant research findings. Mutations have been discovered nationwide. Human muscles have grown larger, strength has increased. Plants have grown sturdier, and animals have gotten bigger among other abnormalities. Experts suggest that this is likely a viral infection causing mutations."

...

After the news broadcasts went out.

The entire nation became aware of this serious issue.

It seems a crisis is looming, but... they are powerless to do anything about it.

Many people gathered on internet forums, discussing among each other—

A QQ group named "Superman Team" is currently having a heated discussion.

"Guys, I lifted my wife with one hand yesterday, and she said I was very manly, and we did 'XOXO' all night..."

"That's nothing. I lay down in our well yesterday and when I got up this morning I discovered I had an eight-pack. I have a feeling if I go sleep there again tonight, I'll be able to lift a sedan!"

"Stop bragging... Since going to the countryside, I've felt a lot of changes during this time. Now when I run, I'm faster than a bus, I run all the way to school!"

"The real situation now is that many people have become superhuman! It's weird... those martial artists from before are not much of a threat now."

"Right! I heard many people are evolving very quickly, some have abilities that have already surpassed those low-rank martial artists."

"Let's all keep a low profile... Everyone is definitely getting stronger. You never know how powerful someone is, don't go out showing off and get beaten up."

"That makes sense, let's keep a low profile and develop quietly, don't be reckless!"

"Yeah, recently homicides keep happening and no one is doing anything. The so-called Dark Web has also gone into hiding."

"Now who dares to meddle, low-rank martial artists are just being abused."

"Don't be too cocky, we are in a time of great change. We are getting stronger, and they definitely are too."

In fact.

The chat in the QQ group is just a small part of the situation.

The revival of spiritual energy has greatly enhanced most people's bodies.

Some people have even taken up martial arts and cultivation because of this.

Yet despite this, most people are unable to practice cultivation; the revival of spiritual energy has made their bodies stronger, and that's about it.

The next day.

One of the Five Great Divine Palaces, the Ice Divine Temple, officially announced the appointment of the new Divine Hall Master, Ye Wenjun.

All of the Seventy-two Sects came to congratulate.

No one objected.

Especially after the Seventy-two Sects learned that Ye Wenjun had successfully undergone the Divine Statue baptism, they were greatly shocked and all submitted.

...

Meanwhile.

In a medieval castle in Europe.

Inside a room.

An old man with white hair sat next to a fireplace, sipping red wine.

His face showed the vicissitudes of life, but his eyes were extremely deep, occasionally flashing with brilliance.

At this moment, a middle-aged man entered and bowed, saying: "Blood Emperor, our dispatched people have all entered Huaxia... So far, Huaxia's cultivators haven't made a move against us. However... according to our investigation, it seems that the spiritual energy in Huaxia is reviving, I'm worried..."

The middle-aged man hesitated, not continuing.

"Are you afraid that Huaxia's cultivators will return to their glorious era?" the white-haired old man asked calmly, "Don't worry... It only took Huaxia a few hundred years to fall from grace, but to rebuild their glory, it would take at least a few thousand years. They have their own methods of cultivation, evolving from ordinary mortals to eternal cultivators step by step, which also takes a minimum of a few thousand years even for the talented ones. For those with lesser talent, living over a hundred years is already quite good in their lifetime."

The middle-aged man nodded.

"Blood Emperor, you are wise... Having lived in Huaxia for hundreds of years, you understand their customs well. Going there now, won't our Blood Clan suffer from environmental incompatibility?"

"No, on the contrary... The land of Huaxia is full of spirit and abundant spiritual energy. The Blood Clan would only grow stronger there. The blood in their bodies naturally contains strong nutrients, which are our favorite kind of resource. However, Huaxia's cultivators are numerous and extremely powerful; any weaker Blood Clan member would merely be crushed."

Hearing this.

The middle-aged man sighed, "Yes, Carl and Merlin, one a Marquis and the other a Duke, both fell victim. This time in Huaxia, I must personally kill that cultivator."

The old man nodded slightly and said, "Do not underestimate them... In Europe, just protect the Curse Root. The Jiangzhou Iron Fist King... leave him to Prince Haley."

"Prince Haley? For such a trivial matter, why bother His Majesty?"

"I just said not to underestimate them... This Jiangzhou Iron Fist King is not simple. Being able to sit again on the throne of Tiandu Mountain, his strength is at least of Prince Level, which, according to Huaxia's rankings... is also the highest in the Heavenly Rank."

"The highest of Heavenly Rank?" The middle-aged man was shocked.

"So... while Huaxia's spiritual energy is reviving, we must secure our position quickly... Otherwise, once they become powerful, the Blood Clan will never have a chance to rise again." The Blood Emperor's eyes gleamed, "The strength of Eastern cultivators far exceeds your imagination. Remember... never underestimate any Eastern cultivator. In ancient times, a single mysterious Eastern cultivator could wipe out the entire Blood Clan. Those... are the truly powerful."

"Is it really that terrifying?" The middle-aged man widened his eyes.

"Back when I lived in Huaxia, an outer disciple who merely swept in front of an Eastern cultivator's house could easily defeat me. At that time, my level was that of a Prince." the elder said.

"How is that possible?"

"This revival of spiritual energy must be treated with enough seriousness. Ziwei of Tiandu Mountain has lived so long, no one can assure, if any of those ancient Huaxia cultivators are still alive, warn everyone. Increase manpower, protect the Curse Root."

"Yes!"

"Furthermore... have Haley find the Jiangzhou Iron Fist King as soon as possible, let him take the Blood Clan's treasure to Jiangzhou City in Huaxia, don't hesitate, just directly eliminate him." The elder's eyes shone, "Any genius... to resolve future troubles, the best way is to nip them in the bud."

"Yes!"
