Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques

Chapter 297 290: An Attempt

Luo Manli's expression faltered slightly upon hearing Zhou Yuanjue's words.

'That's right. From ancient times to the present day, humanity has come so far, conquering countless different species.'

'Whether it was the ferocious birds of prey in the sky, the savage beasts on the land, or the overlords of the deep sea, all were ultimately conquered by humanity. Some were even locked away in zoos, becoming objects of spectacle.'

'Celestial Demons might be bizarre and unpredictable, but as long as there was a way to counteract them, humanity would never be driven into a desperate corner.'

Zhou Yuanjue's demonstration had greatly lessened her fear of the Celestial Demons. At the very least, she wouldn't lose her composure as she had before.

"Your immense power is astounding, but I also have a question. After all, someone like you is exceedingly rare. The general public doesn't possess your level of power. Donghua Country's territory is vast, so how can you guarantee social stability and the safety of our citizens?"

Luo Manli asked.

"What you've said is indeed a concern. However, just like a virus, Celestial Demons are not impossible to guard against. The Nanjiang incident put us on high alert, and we have already activated our emergency response protocols. The relevant departments will work with the various branches of the Martial Arts Association to organize corresponding mobile units to patrol the entire country. We will also organize emergency evacuation drills in various regions to ensure a timely response and evacuation should an incident occur, minimizing any potential harm."

"Martial Artists of our caliber are indeed quite rare in Donghua right now. However, Celestial Demons capable of matching us are just as rare. Besides, we are not unprepared."

As Zhou Yuanjue spoke, he took several more items out from under the table.

A silver metal dagger, a pair of black sunglasses, a pair of black leather tactical gloves, a black tactical uniform similar in style to those of the Secret Inspection Bureau, a ball of black thread, and a small, palm-sized device that resembled a radar.

"Mr. Zhou, what are these?"

Luo Manli inquired.

"Celestial Demons have been appearing for a long time. They actually first appeared overseas. Currently, the forces they form are classified as a high-level, clandestine terrorist organization. Although there haven't been many cases within the country, the relevant departments began researching these creatures long ago, trying to find ways to counter them. In recent years, we've had some success."

"As I mentioned before, everyone has a Life Magnetic Field of a certain intensity within their body. Ordinary people can't perceive Celestial Demons, partly because they don't know how to mobilize their Life Magnetic Field, and partly because their own field isn't strong enough."

"And these items are the corresponding support equipment."

Zhou Yuanjue said calmly, first picking up the pair of black sunglasses.

"These sunglasses are named the 'Dharma Eye.' Their function is to capture magnetic fields invisible to the naked eye. Even an ordinary person with a weak constitution can directly 'see' the presence of Celestial Demons by wearing them."

He then introduced the silver dagger, tactical gloves, tactical uniform, and the ball of black thread one by one.

"This dagger can draw and concentrate an ordinary person's magnetic field, allowing it to pose a certain degree of threat to Celestial Demons."

"The tactical gloves operate on a similar principle to the dagger. Their Attack Power is lower, but they allow a person to 'grapple' with a Celestial Demon."

"The tactical uniform's main feature is providing a degree of protection against attacks from Celestial Demons."

"Finally, this ball of thread is actually a net that can restrain a Celestial Demon to a certain extent."

Finally, Zhou Yuanjue picked up the radar-like device.

"This is a detector. It can detect the traces of most Celestial Demons within a certain range."

Zhou Yuanjue introduced them item by item. These were all the results of years of research by the Secret Inspection Bureau. However, due to the limited supply of Essence Blood, they could not be mass-produced.

Furthermore, because this is standard-issue equipment, the amount of Spirit Guardian Essence Blood used is limited. Therefore, the magnetic field they can withstand is also limited. The magnetic field of a top-tier Martial Artist might even be a slight overload for them.

However, if these devices could be deployed on a large scale across the country to arm E to C Level, and even B Level, Martial Artists and personnel from various departments, the effect would be immense.

Luo Manli looked at the equipment, a fascinated expression on her face.

Then, she saw Zhou Yuanjue take out another Demon-Catching Bottle and push the equipment in front of her.

"Want to try them out?"

Zhou Yuanjue opened the Demon-Catching Bottle, released the Celestial Demon inside, and restrained it with a red light.

"Me?"

Luo Manli looked slightly stunned. This didn't seem to be part of the plan.

"That's right. Give it a try. I'm here, so nothing will go wrong."

Zhou Yuanjue nodded. 'If I'm going to display strength to reassure the public, a simple introduction isn't enough.'

"O... Okay..."

Luo Manli swallowed nervously. She glanced at Zhou Yuanjue and suddenly felt that his presence gave her an infinite sense of security. The hesitation in her heart vanished.

She first picked up the silver dagger and thought she felt the fine engravings on its surface flash faintly. After a moment's hesitation, she slowly raised the dagger and stabbed at the struggling Celestial Demon under Zhou Yuanjue's control.

The dagger plunged into the Celestial Demon's black mist. The demon's face instantly grew more ferocious. Although with Luo Manli's magnetic field strength, the damage was akin to a mere pinprick, it still made the creature tremble slightly. Unfortunately for it, there was no escaping Zhou Yuanjue's restraint.

After that first attempt, Luo Manli was no longer afraid of the Celestial Demon. Instead, driven by curiosity, she stabbed it a dozen more times with the silver dagger, making the low-level creature tremble like a leaf. It was hard to tell if it was from pain or rage.

Afterward, once Luo Manli had tried the other pieces of equipment, Zhou Yuanjue returned the pitiful Celestial Demon to the Demon-Catching Bottle.

"That's incredible! Excuse me, but will the general public be able to purchase this standard-issue equipment?"

Luo Manli asked.

"Due to production limitations, it's not yet available for public purchase. However, with technological innovation, I believe that day will eventually come."

"We will be distributing this standard-issue equipment soon. Furthermore, we will establish guard posts at set intervals in every city, staffed by special personnel carrying this equipment, to form a monitoring network. This will allow us to respond to any sudden incidents as quickly as possible."

"At the same time, we've established emergency support protocols for the city, prefecture, and national levels. City-level support will arrive within five minutes, prefecture-level support within fifteen minutes, regional support within half an hour, and national support within one hour."

"In other words, if an emergency occurs, S Class Martial Artists like us will appear in any corner of this country in the shortest possible time. Then, with our power, we will end all threats."

"Please, everyone, believe in us. We have this ability, and we also have the determination and conviction. This country will not fall before we do."

Zhou Yuanjue said calmly.
