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

125: Chapter 125 Shaolin Temple Monks! Special Training Methods”This is...”

In the meeting hall, Mayor Lin was inwardly shocked. In the video, the piercing glint that shot from the middle-aged Taoist’s eyes as he opened them made everyone present feel as if their hearts had been struck by a massive sledgehammer.

Many people experienced difficulty breathing and a sense of suffocation, their faces turning red.

However, Mayor Lin found this psychological pressure very familiar...

This was the same sense of pressure brought by the gaze of that prehistoric creature in Jianghai City!

Although the pressure from the middle-aged Taoist in the video was far less than the mountain-like weight of the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle—perhaps only one percent...

The fact that such a miraculous sense of oppression appeared in a human was already a miracle!

One must realize that those in this meeting hall were the top leaders of the Great Xia Kingdom. They had weathered great storms and possessed knowledge and experiences far beyond the reach of ordinary people, with extremely strong mental fortitude.

Yet, they were still affected by the middle-aged man’s gaze...

After a few breaths, the many leaders in the meeting hall recovered from their state of shock.

”Was that middle-aged Taoist absorbing spiritual energy just now?”

”It should be. The concentration of spiritual energy in the mountains is much higher than in the cities, condensing into a white mist. Just now, the middle-aged Taoist was absorbing that white mist of spiritual energy—”

”If that’s the case, it’s incredible! That middle-aged Taoist’s efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy must be at least five or six times faster than an ordinary person’s!”

”And that’s just how it appears in the video; the actual situation might be even more than that...”

”Terrifying. That middle-aged Taoist’s gaze just now must have been the effect of spiritual energy. I didn’t expect that we humans could possess such powerful ocular pressure.”

”Eh? There’s more video?”

In the meeting hall, the wall projection didn’t end; instead, the scene shifted.

It was also in a remote, uninhabited area of deep mountains and old forests.

A solemn ancient temple sat on an open stretch of land. On the simple, black, peeling plaque were three gold-leafed characters—Shaolin Temple.

Following a knock, a young monk in Buddhist robes opened the ancient temple doors.

Then, through a fast-forward, it was unclear what the visitor communicated, but the ancient temple doors opened fully, allowing the person filming the video to walk inside.

And so, this ancient temple, which had been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, welcomed an outsider for the first time.

A heavy sense of history washed over them. There were no grand halls like those in TV dramas, only independent courtyards. In the largest room in the center, several clay statues were enshrined.

The largest area in the ancient temple was none other than the great square at its center.

At this moment, dozens of warrior monks in grey Buddhist robes were in position on the square, practicing various fist and leg martial arts.

Their strikes whistled through the air, their movements concise and showing a very high level of proficiency.

Finally, an Abbot wearing a cassock invited forward a dark-skinned monk who walked up to a rock the height of a person.

Squatting, bending his waist... he punched!

Boom!

With a violent explosion, the man-sized rock shattered like tofu, turning into small fragments that fell to the ground.

At this point, the footage came to an abrupt halt.

Everyone in the meeting hall gasped, their pupils dilating, their faces filled with deep shock!

Because they had already been startled once by the middle-aged Taoist in the video, the Great Xia high-level officials were mentally prepared this time.

But despite that, they were still quite shaken.

”That rock was quartzite, wasn’t it...”

”At least one and a half meters tall, with extreme density... Even if Mike Tyson came and threw a punch, forget about the quartzite, his own hand would be ruined!”

”But look at that dark-skinned warrior monk; after smashing such a large piece of quartzite, his fist is completely fine! It’s not even red!”

”Holy crap! Why do I feel like that wasn’t even the warrior monk’s full power?!”

”Can we humans really possess such powerful strength?!”

”Minister of Scientific Research, is this also because of the effects of spiritual energy?”

The Minister of Scientific Research put down the remote in his hand and let out a breath.

He spoke to the many Great Xia high-level officials.

”That’s right. The middle-aged Taoist in the video, and the warrior monk who broke the rock, are both like that because of the effects of spiritual energy.”

He looked with satisfaction at the eager gazes of everyone in the meeting hall.

”It’s not just the effect of spiritual energy; the transcendent state of mind and physical fitness of the middle-aged Taoist and the warrior monk are also key. Because of these, their efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy is several times that of ordinary people!”

Hearing this, some of the Great Xia high-level officials looked distressed. They didn’t possess the characteristics of the middle-aged Taoist or the warrior monk. If they didn’t have them, it meant the ordinary masses were the same.

Wouldn’t the plan to use spiritual energy for national evolution then be just empty talk?

The Minister of Scientific Research smiled. ”Do you all think our Scientific Research Department has done nothing for the past half month?”

”After more than half a month of non-stop effort, our Scientific Research Department has finally developed a set of special training methods suitable for the ordinary masses.”

”If this training method is used, the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy will be five times that of an average person!”

”Furthermore, this training method has no special restrictions and isn’t dangerous at all!”

These words were like a bomb, instantly exploding in the meeting hall!

”What?! How is that possible!”

”Does such a miraculous training method really exist in the world... is it true?!”

”Am I dreaming?!”

The many Jianghai City leaders in the meeting hall all stood up together, crying out in surprise!

PS: I’d like to apologize to all you great readers first. I just saw your suggestions, and the most serious issue is my lazy updating—only two chapters a day...

How should I put this? I’m a total newbie writing a novel for the first time. I heard from the veteran authors in the group that on Fanqie, you just need to update four thousand words in two chapters every day, so that’s what I did...

Actually, although work is a bit busy, I can still find time to write. I’m just too used to being comfortable, and then there’s the game ’Honor of Kings’... baa baa...

Then I’ve been practicing double pinyin and reading ’Romance of the Three Kingdoms’ to prepare for a historical theme at the end of the year. The most time-consuming thing has been preparing a new book in the evolution genre...

To be honest, after reading some reader comments, I feel the beginning of this book went a bit off—it moved too fast and completely exceeded my outline. So, I have to customize a new outline...

This also made me a bit afraid to look at the readers’ comments, as I want to write a good story.

Don’t worry, the outline is already written. At least one million words, at most two million!

Then there’s the issue of the low update count. It’s simple... I’ll add more updates!

Today is July 18th. From today onwards, there will be a minimum of three updates a day!

Once again, I apologize to all the great people who support me. I was too complacent before and didn’t realize so many great readers were following the book!

I’m sorry!!!

I’m setting a FLAG right here: if I can’t do three updates from now on, I, Little Slacker Newbie, am a dog, and I’ll be single for three years without a girlfriend!!!

Bang! Bang! Bang! I’m kowtowing now (head bleeding)!!!
