My Mysterious Left Hand

In that instant, the already limited source energy within his dantian poured out wildly.

"Holy crap, did I accidentally create a rain spell?"

Li Chen was stunned, never expecting that his reckless actions would cause such a commotion.

However, just as he was surprised, the already limited source energy in his dantian was completely depleted.

Because he had just entered the Qi Gathering Realm and hadn't formally cultivated yet, he didn't have much source energy.

As the source energy was depleted, the array above his palm collapsed, and the newly formed downpour stopped abruptly.

In the blink of an eye, the rain stopped and the sun came out; everything before seemed like an illusion.

However, this scene terrified the team a kilometer away.

"What's going on?"

"Why did this downpour only last a few seconds?"

"This is very strange. Report it to higher authorities immediately; something big might be happening."

The team dared not delay and immediately reported to their superiors.

Even if it's just a tiny possibility, or even if it's mostly just a coincidence, what if it is?

What if it really is a harbinger of some kind of disaster...

Li Chen had no idea that the spell he had unintentionally created would terrify the entire team.

Seeing the array diagram dissipate automatically due to the depletion of source energy, he stopped regretfully, then with a thought, he directly began to cultivate his technique.

"Buzz—"

In an instant, all the source energy within a radius of a thousand meters seemed to be drawn together by some force, forming a vortex above his head.

A thousand meters away, the military squad that was reporting to their superiors with their communicators looked over in surprise.

"There's someone at the center of the energy fluctuation, be on alert!" the captain said gravely.

These teams responsible for handling unusual situations are all composed of cultivators at the fifth level or above among mortals, so they can naturally sense the energy that roams between heaven and earth.

"That's quite a commotion."

Li Chen pondered for a moment, then continued his cultivation.

If you haven't done anything wrong, why should you deliberately avoid others?

Moreover, given the scale of his cultivation, he'd likely attract attention wherever he went to practice.

Within his dantian, the previously depleted source energy reappeared, and wisps of light mist seemed to spring forth from nowhere, their numbers increasing.

However, just half a minute later, the vortex of source energy above his head suddenly collapsed, and the remaining source energy poured into his body.

Then, Li Chen felt that there was no more free energy in the world, and the area within a radius of a thousand meters directly became an energy blank zone.

Although the source energy from other places is rapidly replenishing, it will take time.

"..."

Li Chen shook his head helplessly, then took out a source stone, preparing to use it for cultivation.

However, at this moment, he suddenly sensed someone approaching. When he looked up, he saw three young men in military uniforms rapidly approaching.

"Who's over there?" a soldier asked in a deep voice.

Li Chen hesitated for a moment, then took out the teacher's certificate given to him by Major General Han Ling and threw it over: "I am Li Chen. I am going to report to the Cultivation Academy, but I don't know where the Cultivation Academy is. I just happened to see some commotion here, so I came to take a look."

"Are you a specially admitted student of the cultivation academy?"

The soldier who asked the question took the ID in surprise, glanced at it, and immediately froze: "Wait, you're a teacher?"

"What? Teacher?"

"Such a young teacher?"

The two soldiers behind him were also stunned. They quickly came over to check Li Chen's teacher qualification certificate and scanned it with an instrument.

They quickly found Li Chen's information.

Major General Han Ling's contact name for Li Chen was "Peerless Prodigy, Made Great Contributions to the Country," and everything else was kept secret and unavailable to them.

"So it's Teacher Li."

The leading soldier immediately became much more polite and personally handed Li Chen his identification.

"Teacher Li is going to the cultivation academy? We can take you there."

The soldier explained, "The training academy is under construction, but because many spells still need to be researched and adapted, the teachers' dormitories and the spell research complex have already been built."

They did not doubt Li Chen's identity.

One is the identification document on display, and the other is the commotion Li Chen caused earlier.

They now suspect that the sudden and then-stopped downpour not long ago was also related to this young teacher.

"Research and adaptation of spells?" Li Chen's heart stirred, and he quickly asked.

"Yes, the Earth's foundation is ultimately insufficient, so the higher authorities have unearthed the Taoist and Buddhist techniques passed down from ancient times, preparing to adapt those techniques according to the new cultivation system. Currently, a large number of teachers are needed to participate in the research."

The soldier was clearly thinking about the strange downpour earlier and figured that Li Chen might also be a teacher involved in researching and adapting spells.

Or it could be a teacher that's being prepared to be sent over to help.

After all, there are still more than six months before the opening of the cultivation academy, and they have only just begun to prepare for the promotion.

If you were a regular teacher, you wouldn't need to report to the college so quickly.

"If I could browse the formulas for those spells, I might be able to develop my own spells much faster."

Li Chen became interested and immediately stood up, saying, "Then I'll trouble you. I'll head over right away."

"It's no trouble at all."

The leading soldier handed the identification to Li Chen and smiled, "Shall we set off now?"

"OK."

Li Chen put away his identification and then left with the three soldiers.

Anyway, the military has already taken notice of this place, so even if the world passage reappears, nothing serious will happen.

Let's go to the college and take a look first.

Before long, the three arrived at the highway, got into an armored vehicle, and entered Donghe City.

However, the vehicle did not stop after entering the city and continued to drive eastward.

Li Chen keenly observed that the city was even more prosperous, completely unaffected by the World Passage.

Some markets even sell meat from ferocious beasts from another world, at very high prices, often costing thousands or tens of thousands of yuan per kilogram.

"It seems that the world portals in other locations have either not been affected, or have been blocked."

Otherwise, the people wouldn't be so calm.

Finally, around noon, the armored vehicle stopped more than 30 kilometers outside the eastern suburbs of the city.

Li Chen finally saw the location of the cultivation academy.

In that direction, countless people were working overtime to complete the construction.

Various super-large excavators and cranes are at work, and buildings are rising from the ground.

At first glance, it seemed as if the entire mountain range had been designated as part of the cultivation academy's territory.

However, perhaps because it is not yet completed, at first glance it looks like a city is being built rather than a school.

"The cultivation academy is different from a regular university. It will definitely have training grounds and martial arts arenas, and in the future, it might even provide each teacher with a mountain or something."

The soldier driving the car explained, "Therefore, the area from here to the easternmost edge of the desert, spanning 700 kilometers in length and width, already belongs to the training academy."

"Seven hundred kilometers long and wide?" Li Chen exclaimed in astonishment.

"Of course, the area currently under construction is only an area of ​​tens of thousands of meters in radius."

The soldier driving the car explained, "The other areas have simply been designated as the territory of the training academy; construction will be carried out gradually later."

"I see." Li Chen suddenly realized.

At this moment, the soldier driving the car received some instructions and continued to start the car.

A few minutes later, the armored vehicle stopped outside a huge automatic retractable gate.

A middle-aged man was already waiting outside, clearly having been notified.

As soon as Li Chen got out of the car, the middle-aged man greeted him happily: "You must be Teacher Li Chen? I didn't expect you to be so young. My name is Huang Weixing, you can just call me Teacher Huang."

"Hello, Teacher Huang." Li Chen shook hands with Huang Weixing.

The dramatic incident he had imagined—someone questioning his youth—did not occur. On the contrary, Huang Weixing seemed to take him very seriously.

In fact, Huang Weixing was at the seventh level of the mortal realm, but he found that he could not see through his new teacher named Li Chen.

The future will most likely develop into an era where the strong rule, so he dared not underestimate this young man.

The three soldiers greeted each other and then drove back in their armored vehicle.

"Teacher Li Chen, come with me, I'll arrange your accommodation first."

Huang Weixing walked ahead, explaining to Li Chen, "Teacher Li Chen, you can cultivate on your own or participate in the research of magical techniques. However, I personally suggest that you test your strength first."

"Testing capacity?"

Li Chen asked curiously, "How is the test done? Is this necessary?"

"The test results are related to your future treatment, which is naturally necessary because we teachers also need to cultivate resources, and the ranking determines the Ministry of Education's allocation of resources to us."

Teacher Huang Weixing explained: "The detection method is very simple, just attack a stone tablet."

The two walked very fast, and in less than five minutes they passed through the buildings and arrived at a huge playground.

At the end of the playground, a huge stone monument stands there.
