Anhui, Fulan Academy.

Heat steamed from Song Chu's body, his entire being flushed red, looking like a boiled prawn.

Each breath he exhaled emitted a mass of hot air, enveloping him in a shroud of white mist.

All around Song Chu, scorched black marks were everywhere.

Stone fragments scattered, metal debris floated in the wind, and the earth was overturned.

"[Blood Flame] burns the soul, that kind of pain deep in the soul, even White Mane can't take it..."

He Nanguang descended from the sky, carrying a young boy on his back, clicking his tongue in wonder: "I thought that with my progress in Inner Qi, the gap between us would have narrowed, but now it seems the gap has widened instead."

Song Chu sat on the ground, gulping for air: "It's just that everyone's superpower focuses differently... If it weren't for you and Sister Die, I wouldn't dare to go all out either."

"And it's the Longevity Star People, not White Mane."

"Whew... The superpower erosion phenomenon is really a troublesome thing... Hurry up! Just relying on myself, I can't hold on much longer!"

"Every time after a battle, I feel like I've been steamed alive."

"In the end, it's still because my Spiritual Will isn't strong enough, the Inner Qi Cultivation still has to continue!"

He Nanguang put the boy on his back down: "White Mane, Longevity Star People, whatever, those are just titles, all the same."

With that, his gaze fell on the boy, hastily saying: "Little Box, I'll have to trouble you again."

The boy slid from He Nanguang's back to the ground like a soft-bodied creature.

His name was He Zi, fifteen years old, a Pillar Level superpower [Pandora] Awakener, able to seal any non-living entity into his body.

Although he always insisted that he possessed powerful sealing abilities that could reverse the tide of battle, it's just that he hadn't fully tapped into [Pandora]'s inherent potential yet...

The members of Fulan Academy affectionately and kindly called him "humanoid storage equipment" or "Little Box."

He Zi's appearance tended towards androgynous, his voice the same, difficult to distinguish gender, within Fulan Academy, besides the president, no one knew whether he was male or female.

"Hold on, give me two seconds."

The androgynous boy closed his eyes, fine veins appeared on his temples.

A moment later, he suddenly swung his right hand.

Boom!

An ice crystal-carved tub filled with ice water appeared before the two of them.

He Nanguang picked up the exhausted Song Chu and tossed him into the icy water tub.

Sizzle, sizzle...

White mist rose, enveloping the air.

Song Chu let out a low growl of relief: "Saved..."

His gaze fell on He Zi, looking complex: "Brother He is reliable, I knew that."

"Little Box, you really made us see you in a new light this time..."

The androgynous boy rolled his eyes, trying to get up, but found that due to the superpower erosion phenomenon, besides his right arm, the rest of his body couldn't move, as if filled with cement, being pulled down by gravity.

He Zi pouted: "I'll tell you what, Old Song, outside you're called [Blood Flame] and [Uncle Song], I was a die-hard fan before you came to Fulan Academy."

"Turns out, after close contact, my idol immediately shattered."

"If you don't know how to compliment someone, say less."

"At least I'm the only second-phase member from Fulan Academy participating this time. With your compliments, I actually feel I'm quite lame!"

Song Chu wanted to say something further, when suddenly, an intellectual female voice echoed in their minds: "The western battlefield is over."

This was Liu Huadie's [Unity] ability.

Whether in small-scale battles or large-scale wars, it could play an important role, enabling front-line Guardians to get the first-hand information and make the right decisions at critical moments.

He Nanguang collapsed to the ground, lit a cigarette for himself, and began puffing clouds of smoke: "Finally, it's over."

Song Chu lay in the ice tub, eyes closed, seemingly seizing time to recover energy.

And the boy known as Little Box lay on the ground with a face full of despair.

Though newly awakened to his superpowers, He Zi was quick-witted and thoughtful, having already developed various methods to utilize his superpower.

He discovered that his ability's judgment was very flexible, allowing any connected body parts to be regarded as a whole.

This not only increased his "carrying capacity," but also allowed him to bypass some important organs with the aid of bone connections.

In this battle, He Zi cooperated with Song Chu and He Nanguang, using [Pandora] to successfully seal the Longevity Star People's teleportation gate!

The cost was...

Besides his head, internal organs, and right arm, all other body parts were paralyzed.

The price of superpower erosion was great.

In the upcoming period, He Zi's life would be unsustainable on his own, requiring the care of nurse ladies to live like a normal person.

However, it was all worth it!

He had intercepted that white coffin-like teleportation gate!

As long as He Zi didn't release this thing from his body, the Longevity Star People could never activate its self-destruct system or recall it!

"Little Box, you'll need to hold on for a while longer."

He Nanguang extinguished his cigarette and looked at He Zi with a complex gaze: "Our Earth's technological level is temporarily at a certain gap with the Eternal Civilization."

"So..."

He Zi smiled, waved his right hand, interrupting He Nanguang's words: "It's okay!"

"At least one arm can move, it won't stop me from reading novels."

"To be supported by the state, living a life like a silkworm, there are probably many who envy such days."

"Moreover, this state is also a kind of training for me."

"It can help me improve my mastery of superpowers, refine my Spiritual Will, and allow me to develop more methods of superpower application!"

At this point, the androgynous boy scratched his head with his right hand: "In the end, my Spiritual Will isn't strong enough."

"I heard that the [Martial God] from Grass Hut Academy also has a similar ability to mine."

"But she can use a fingernail to seal many things."

"I even suspect, one day, she'll use her hair to store items."

"A flower holds a world, a leaf holds a Bodhi."

"In the future, maybe a single hair from the Martial God will be a storage space."

"Even without comparing to the Martial God, there's a second-phase member named Li Xing from Grass Hut Academy who recently awakened and already fought to a draw with Li Xuanxun, one of South Korea's top three supernovas."

"Newcomers from other academies are all shining brightly."

"My level still needs more training!"

Optimistic, positive, sunny, always finding joy in hardship, smiling through every challenge.

At this moment, the light emanating from junior brother He Zi made Song Chu and He Nanguang turn their heads.

Perhaps...

This attitude of facing everything with a smile is a common trait among those who can awaken superpowers without any training.

The strength of the Spiritual Will might not be as apparent as physical prowess, but it's something every strong individual cannot do without.

...

Meanwhile.

Sichuan, Qinglian Academy.

Zhu Hanyi wielded the Eight-sided Han Sword "Rain Boiling," deep cyan Sword Qi spilled like ink, cutting down all enemies, violently breaking through.

Jiangxi, Xinglu Academy.

A student with the surname Feng summoned the peculiar flying sword named "Ansar," piercing through the Door of Space in one stroke, ingeniously breaking through...

Guizhou, Xinjiang, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Fujian, Shaanxi...

Each academy had shining new Extraordinary Ones, who, in the era of alien invasion, stood on the front stage, earning great merits, gradually becoming known to the world.

...

While the academies of the provinces dealt with alien invaders.

Three Longevity Star People, dressed in white protective clothing, descended outside Grass Hut Academy.

"The layout is complete."

"Though it's not the best result, the strategic goal was achieved."

"Next, the only thing we need to deal with is Grass Hut Academy."
