Practice is not just about fighting and killing

The era of spiritual energy revival.

The return of mythology.

The awakening of the extraordinary.

The evolution of humanity.

This new era, in the mouths of different people, goes by various names.

But the consensus among all is that this new era began with the Great Cataclysm five years ago.

That Great Cataclysm shattered humanity's dream of dominance, and many extraordinary phenomena, once thought to be mere fantasies, suddenly appeared in the real world, causing significant destruction.

Even to this day, such anomalies still occur from time to time.

However, it is precisely because of this.

Humans on Earth began to harness supernatural powers, and a few lucky or exceptionally talented individuals could even rise to the level of true powerhouses overnight.

Five years later, the emergence of supernatural beings has become a common occurrence, with official laws regulating their rights and obligations.

Some envy them, viewing supernatural beings as superior beings.

Others lament, noting the high mortality rate among supernatural beings.

"But without a doubt, this is a truly exciting era, a grand and boundless era of infinite possibilities."

Half a month later.

Xu Xi, who had rapidly mastered Taoist arts through simulated memories, left his home on foot for the first time in five years, slowly observing the city streets.

【Tai Chi Bun Shop】

【Telekinesis Hair Salon】

【Qi-to-Horse Professional Training School】

Looking at the diverse shops lining the streets, blending Earth's native culture with supernatural systems, Xu Xi couldn't help but feel a bit dazed.

Now, Earth's technological tree has completely gone off the rails.

Supernatural powers are everywhere.

Of course, in just five years, while there are indeed more supernatural beings among humans, it's not yet a state of universal supernaturalism.

Most of these shops on the street have simply changed their names to capitalize on the trend.

The real supernatural beings.

Have mostly joined the Supernatural United Bureau.

Enjoying high treatment and resource channels provided by the national government.

In return, the government issues various missions and cooperative projects that require supernatural beings to complete, of course, with compensation.

It's a mutually beneficial arrangement, a win-win situation.

"Perhaps, I should also join the Supernatural United Bureau. If I recall correctly, there's a branch nearby."

As Xu Xi walked down the street, he casually bought some breakfast.

The pork buns were thin-skinned and generously stuffed, with plenty of juice inside, overall very delicious. By the way, the vendor also gave him a bowl of sweet tofu brain.

"Practicing isn't just about fighting and killing; it's also about human relationships."

"With my Golden Core stage strength, joining the Bureau should earn me some attention, allowing me to use their channels to find the so-called anchor medium."

"Even if I can't find it, I can still use the Bureau's resources to enhance my strength."

Taking a bite of the pork bun,

Feeling the warm meat juice burst on his tongue,

Xu Xi pondered slightly.

He had no intention of imitating those Dragon-proud protagonists, who, once they obtained a golden opportunity, would look down on the world, believing they would inevitably reach the pinnacle.

The facts have proven that such behavior is foolish and wrong.

Early in the era of spiritual energy revival,

Many lucky individuals who obtained supernatural powers held this mindset, secretly hiding among ordinary people, considering themselves the chosen ones.

It wasn't until the government officially disclosed information that these so-called 'protagonists' were shocked to realize they had fallen far behind.

One person's wisdom.

Is no match for the roar of the national machine.

"My cultivation can be explained by an accidental inheritance. Such incidents have occurred more than a hundred times since the revival of spiritual energy."

"I don't need to hide anything."

"No time to waste, I'll join the Bureau today."

After finishing his meal,

Xu Xi opened his phone and searched for the location of the Supernatural United Bureau branch.

Locked in the position,

He stepped out.

……

The arrival of the supernatural era has provided humans with more energy sources, leading to an upgrade in transportation, with speeds far exceeding before.

However, Xu Xi had been too long without walking.

Plus, his magical power formed a self-sustaining cycle,

He felt no fatigue at all.

So, he strolled slowly for over two hours, occasionally stopping to admire newly built structures, or observing the magical element-infused spirit furnace taxis zipping by.

By the time it was close to noon, he arrived at his destination.

Yanshan City Supernatural United Bureau Branch.

What greeted his eyes was a magnificent towering building, resembling a majestic mountain, with dense mysterious energy flowing around it.

"Indeed, as one of the gathering places for supernatural beings, the Bureau has its own defensive measures."

Xu Xi curiously observed for a while,

Then walked into the Bureau's main entrance.

In contrast to its grand exterior, the interior of the Bureau was even more vast, with a wide space filled with bustling crowds and crisscrossing corridors.

As a first-timer, Xu Xi naturally didn't know where to go.

So, he stopped a male staff member passing by and asked,

"Excuse me, this is my first time here. Could you tell me where to register for supernatural identity?"

"Oh, you're going to the registration office, right? I happen to be going that way, so I'll show you the way."

The male staff member was very enthusiastic.

Leading the way in front.

While holding a thick folder of documents, he couldn't help but ask, "By the way, brother, what kind of supernatural power do you possess? Did you awaken it yourself?"

Xu Xi smiled, "I suppose you could call me a cultivator. I got lucky and received a inheritance just by sleeping at home."

Upon hearing this, the staff member's expression clearly showed envy.

"I really envy you."

"Not only did you awaken supernatural powers, but you're also a cultivator, the most famous kind."

"Brother, your luck is just too absurd. You can even cultivate just by sleeping."

The staff member's tone was full of sourness.

In this era, there are many types of supernatural powers that can be awakened, including but not limited to fantasy, cultivation, martial arts, magic, and fighting energy.

But when it comes to the supernatural power that Chinese people are most passionate about and desire the most,

Without a doubt,

It's the cultivator.

After all, how many people haven't fantasized about the carefree scenes of flying with a sword during their childhood?

Clearly, this male staff member leading the way was a fervent fan of the cultivation system.

While guiding Xu Xi,

He couldn't help but look at Xu Xi with envious eyes.

That pleading gaze made Xu Xi feel uncomfortable.

"Ahem, just lucky, just lucky," Xu Xi said, "I've only just started my journey of cultivation. My strength is still very weak, and there's a long way to go before reaching immortality."

"That's true."

Hearing Xu Xi's explanation, the staff member's expression improved a bit.

Just as the two were about to reach the registration office,

Suddenly, a commotion and cries for help came from the right corridor, along with the roar of a frenzied beast.

"Watch out! Everyone move aside!"

A Foundation Establishment stage demon beast has broken free from its beast control ring and is heading towards you!

The crowd panicked and scattered.

The Foundation Establishment stage demon beast's physical strength was terrifying. It was a Crimson-eyed Angry Tiger, and with each stride of its claws, it easily destroyed the sides of the corridor.

Even supernatural beings of the same level would find it difficult to face the impact of a Foundation Establishment stage tiger demon head-on.

In a critical moment,

Xu Xi stepped forward.

His five fingers grip in a loose manner.

"Boom—" A faint tearing sound of air broke out as surging airflow transformed into an invisible cage, firmly suppressing the rampaging tiger demon, forcing its four claws to the ground.

Staff member: ???

Is this what you call weak strength?
