After reading the ssage, Wang Lishan sighed and said with a smile:
"The Human Alliance urgently convened a eting. I’m afraid this global phenonon has unsettled so of the folks..."
As he spoke, Wang Lishan looked at Elder Long and Elder Jiang, not avoiding Lin Chen, and asked:
"What do you think of this matter... A common excuse can fool the people below, but trying to fool those old foxes is not easy at all!"
"Regarding this global phenonon, I’m afraid they’re starting to suspect sothing related to Martial Spirit... Plus, the progress we’ve made in Great Xia these past few years has been witnessed by the whole world..."
Upon hearing this, Elder Jiang and Elder Long exchanged a glance.
Finally, Elder Long cleared his throat and said:
"Ahem, do you think, this kid Lin Chen... needs to be hidden by us forever?"
"Although he is young, he possesses Martial Spirit strength, coupled with Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation, and awakening such a Martial Spirit... In the entire Human Race, he is considered a top expert, isn’t he?"
Lin Chen blinked at these words, remaining silent.
It was Elder Jiang who retorted:
"You do know Lin Chen is still young! If that bunch of old foxes in the Human Alliance discovers such a rare talent, wouldn’t they find a thousand reasons to borrow him?"
"Of course, the most crucial thing is... Not everyone in the Human Race is virtuous! How many traitors are hiding among the masses, colluding with the Demon Race!"
"If, and I an if sothing were to happen to Lin Chen..."
Clearly, the two elders were at odds.
In Elder Jiang’s view, Lin Chen should continue to remain hidden to ensure absolute safety.
Whereas Elder Long was evidently more aggressive, believing Lin Chen’s strength was formidable enough to possibly face the world.
These two opinions can’t be clearly defined as right or wrong, rely a slight disagreent.
"Ahem, Elders... If I may suggest, how about waiting for Lin Chen to mature further?"
At this point, Wang Lishan stepped in to diate:
"Perhaps in three to five years... It wouldn’t be too late for Lin Chen to reappear in the public eye?"
"As for now, shall we first prepare for the Human Alliance eting?"
...
Soon, several big shots headed to the conference room to attend the Human Race eting.
anwhile, Lin Chen was escorted back ho by Li Nian.
Several hours later, the family gathered around the table for a al.
Aunt Kong Shan kept placing ribs into Lin Chen’s bowl, constantly muttering:
"You’ve been away for so long and haven’t co ho, truly heartless..."
"Chen’s at an age where he’s growing, eat more, look how skinny you are..."
On the side, Wang Lishan was clearly a bit absent-minded, gazing at the increasingly bright sky outside, muttering:
"What kind of total solar eclipse is this... How can it last an entire day?"
"It was supposed to be evening, yet it’s getting bright outside..."
Lin Chen remained silent upon hearing this, continuing to eat his al.
A while later, an ergency news broadcast interrupted the television.
"Dear citizens, regarding today’s ’total solar eclipse’ phenonon, we have invited the renowned astronor Professor Liu Hanqing to explain it..."
As he spoke, the screen switched to an elderly gentleman in a uniform, wearing gold-rimd glasses.
Professor Liu said:
"Hello everyone across the country, good morning..."
"Today’s peculiar astronomical event, after observation by the astronomic team, was caused by a group of teoroids passing between Blue Star and the sun, influencing Blue Star’s rotation due to gravitational forces..."
"But there’s no need for concern, as the teoroid group has already moved away from Blue Star, and fortunately, there have been no casualties worldwide..."
Aunt Kong Shan chuckled upon hearing this and said to Lin Jianhe:
"Hmph, look at you, being all paranoid day in and day out!"
"The experts said it’s gravitational influence from the teoroid group affecting Blue Star’s rotation!"
"Alas, but does this an day becos night and night becos day now? What shall we do..."
Lin Chen, seeing this and his aunt’s complete trust, blinked at the television where Professor Liu was seriously spouting nonsense, and a peculiar expression crossed his face.
This Professor Liu is renowned in the astronomical field, often appearing on the news, very persuasive.
Yet he probably hadn’t expected that before retiring, he would have to tell such a big lie to citizens nationwide.
Currently, Professor Liu on the television stated:
"Based on professional team calculations, the effect of this event on Blue Star’s rotational speed caused a reversal of the day-night cycle between the northern and southern hemispheres..."
"After calculations, the deviation amounts to 11 hours, 59 minutes, and 37 seconds."
"To avoid affecting normal operations, the Human Alliance has decided to adjust the date and ti forward by 11 hours and 59 minutes..."
"This way, global citizens can maintain their usual work and rest, and as compensation, a unified day-off adjustnt will be implented..."
Upon hearing this news, Lin An’an was the happiest.
She suddenly jumped up and excitedly exclaid: "Hooray, no school tomorrow... We get a day off!"
Aunt Kong Shan also added:
"Have we witnessed history? The whole world adjusting the ti... I’ve never encountered this in my life..."
...
One day later.
Great Xia Country, Martial Arts Palace.
Lin Chen was in the training room, adapting to his current physical condition.
Standing in front of the Power Instrunt, Lin Chen threw a punch.
Boom!
With a loud noise, a line of numbers appeared on the instrunt.
"104,396 kg!"
Basically 200,000 pounds, this was Lin Chen’s base power.
Afterward, Lin Chen took a deep breath, activating the Candle Dragon’s power.
He felt as if a fire was burning inside him.
As his stamina quickly depleted, his strength underwent a dramatic transformation.
Another punch was released!
"197,777 kg!"
This punch was close to 400,000 pounds of force!
