Spiritual Energy Revival: Transform Into a Divine Phoenix, Automatically Upgrade

7: Chapter 7 The Beginning of the Spiritual Energy Revival...On the outskirts of Jianghai City, surrounded by mountains, there is only one large river to the south that connects directly to the Yangtze River, which is why it was named Jianghai City in modern times.

In the suburbs, by an old forest near the highway, a group of more than a dozen people was clustered tightly by the roadside.

”Professor Li, when will Li Minmin arrive?”

”Yeah... It’s been so long. Should I give Li Minmin a call and check?”

”Go away, Jiang Fei! If you want Li Minmin’s number, just say so. Is there any need to beat around the bush?!”

”I’m just caring about our future junior student at Jianghai University! Professor Li, don’t listen to their nonsense!”

Professor Li smiled and shook his head. Being with this group of young and lively college students made him feel much younger himself.

At this moment, someone asked in confusion, ”Professor Li, I remember today isn’t the weekend. How come Li Minmin and her classmate have time to come to the suburbs?”

”I don’t know either. That child didn’t say, only that it was urgent.” Li An, who had been in a good mood, frowned upon hearing this. ”If I find out this little girl is just playing around and neglecting her studies, when I get home, I’ll definitely have her mother give her a good scolding!”

”Don’t! There’s no need for that, Professor Li! Kids are naturally playful. Since you are our mentor for the Environmental and Natural Protection course at Jianghai University and have a busy workload, leave Li Minmin to me for the sake of her future studies!”

”Get lost, if anyone, it should be handed over to me, the top student...”

Just as the group was chatting and laughing noisily, a car slowly drove in from one end of the highway.

Li An breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. ”This little girl is finally here...”

...

”Driver, goodbye!”

”Welcome back next time...”

After getting out of the car, Ran Xiaoyue and Li Minmin reunited with Professor Li and the group.

”Ran Xiaoyue is here too... It’s really been a long time.”

”Hello, Uncle Li.”

”Alright, little girl, let’s get straight to the point, otherwise just obediently go back to No. 3 High School.”

Before Li Minmin could speak, Li An spoke decisively immediately after the greetings.

He knew his precious daughter very well; he absolutely could not give her any chance to spout nonsense, or he would easily get led astray.

A flush appeared on Li Minmin’s fair, jade-like face. ”Dad, this time it’s really something urgent!”

”Alright, speak quickly. I have to take the students into the mountains to survey the environment later.”

”Dad, look at this bird. Is there anything special about it?”

Ran Xiaoyue raised her palm, and the well-behaved Sparrow with bright feathers on her palm attracted everyone’s attention.

”Huh? What a beautiful little bird... What kind of bird is this? I’ve never seen such a beautiful bird before. Could it be some rare protected animal?”

”Open your eyes wide and look closely! This is a Sparrow! And you claim to be a student majoring in Environmental and Natural Protection!”

This group of college students were students of the Environmental and Natural Protection major, and they quickly identified the species of this exceptionally handsome little bird before them.

”And then?”

Li An looked at his daughter in confusion. Although the bird was beautiful, it wasn’t enough reason to skip school and run to the city suburbs just to find him, right?

”Just a reminder, the Sparrow is a nationally protected animal. Don’t even think about keeping it as a pet.”

”How could I!” Li Minmin pouted in dissatisfaction. ”This Sparrow is a monster!”

A monster!

As soon as these words came out, the crowd surrounding them instantly fell silent, and a second later, an uproar erupted.

”Junior student Li Minmin is too humorous!”

”Yeah... Although this Sparrow is indeed the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen, how could it possibly be a monster?”

”Hahaha...”

The many college students laughed heartily, thinking Li Minmin was joking with them. However, when they noticed that the expressions of Li Minmin and Ran Xiaoyue hadn’t changed, they were taken aback.

Could this little Sparrow actually be a monster?

Subsequently, Li Minmin immediately recounted the process of Ye Yang’s rapid growth, from hatching from an egg to the present.

Upon hearing this, everyone widened their eyes, faces full of disbelief.

”That’s fake, right! A chick developing like this in less than a week since birth?”

”Is Junior student Li Minmin joking?”

”Impossible, this isn’t scientific at all!”

”I get it, this must be an excuse made up by Junior student Li Minmin because she wanted to come to the suburbs to hang out with Professor Li!”

Ran Xiaoyue and Li Minmin looked very anxious. They had finally mustered the courage to bring the unique Little Phoenix here to find them, only to find that these people didn’t believe them!

”I believe you!”

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a huge boulder hitting the water, splashing up a massive wave. Everyone fell silent and looked in unison at the person who said it.

Their pupils dilated in shock; they hadn’t expected that the person who said this was actually the animal expert, Professor Li!

”Dad! You really have a sharp eye! You trust me the most!”

Li Minmin shouted excitedly!

Ye Yang, who had been lying motionless in Ran Xiaoyue’s palm, turned its head at this moment and looked at the middle-aged man with a pair of lively little eyes.

”Everyone else doesn’t believe it, so what is this middle-aged man’s reason for believing?”

Li An shifted his gaze from Ye Yang to his daughter, Li Minmin.

”Don’t overthink it, girl. It’s not that your old man trusts your character...”

”It’s that I have learned that such unusual situations are indeed occurring in animals...”

Once these words were spoken, everyone stared at him.

”Professor Li, what exactly are you trying to say?”

”Yeah, does a monster really exist in this world?!”

Li An shook his head. ”Monsters do not exist in this world...”

He paused for a moment. ”At least, they don’t exist yet...”

This left many students, including Li Minmin, Ran Xiaoyue, and even Ye Yang, feeling very confused. What exactly did this mean?

If these college students didn’t know that Professor Li had a rigorous personality and rarely joked, they would have definitely thought that what Professor Li said was nonsense!

Professor Li pondered for a few seconds, then spoke to the crowd, ”Everyone knows that recently, animals all over the world have been undergoing strange changes... According to research by relevant domestic departments, this is because there is an extra form of energy in the air.”

”It is precisely because this energy is absorbed into the bodies of animals that they undergo strange changes and become more powerful. We in the Great Xia Kingdom have named this energy substance in the air ’Spiritual Energy’.”

Professor Li’s gaze turned toward the beautiful Sparrow quietly lying in Ran Xiaoyue’s palm. Seeing that its pair of spirited little eyes were also looking at him, he found it quite interesting.

It was as if he were facing a creature that possessed wisdom just like him.

”This beautiful Sparrow looks so smart... It’s possible it absorbed the Spiritual Energy in the air, which is why it changed.”

”Rest assured, there’s no danger. Our family’s Dahei has also undergone strange changes...”

”Woof, woof, woof!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a swift black shadow lunged toward them rapidly...
