I run a Taoist temple in a bizarre world.

Chapter 73 What “possibilities”?

The two buses from the Special Operations Bureau were driving smoothly on the road.

It's still some distance from the training camp location in the eastern suburbs of Jiangcheng.

Luo Yang didn't let the small group of four, including Chi Le, get quiet, so he continued.

"I also found out about the training content in advance from my colleagues in the field operations department. Would you like to know?"

Luo Yang stopped again, looking at Chi Le and Chai Siyuan's faces, waiting for their reactions.

But the murderous intent that was about to overflow from Wu Min's eyes made him speak immediately.

"This training camp is largely the same as the previous ones."

"The first step is to understand the strange world, recognize common evil spirits and monsters, and conduct a preliminary analysis of extraordinary powers..."

"The second is physical conditioning training, combat skills practice..."

"In general, it's a combination of theoretical learning and physical conditioning."

"After all, in this strange world, you have to be able to recognize whether you can beat the demons you encounter. If you can't beat them, you should at least be able to run away."

Wu Min raised her forearm, politely interrupting Luo Yang.

"So this ranking of everyone is based on their specific performance in these two categories?"

"Yes, but..."

Luo Yang's old habit of stopping mid-sentence resurfaced, but under Wu Min's "gentle persuasion," he quickly continued speaking.

"Relax...let go! But we'll be split into two groups, ranked independently."

"It's not divided according to logistics and forward operations, but according to our future 'possibilities'."

"I asked curiously."

"possible?"

Luo Yang did not answer immediately, but instead explained in detail.

"You should have seen from the materials we sent out before that we are people who haven't really entered the bizarre world yet."

"Upon entering the Ghost World for the first time and hunting down the evil spirits and monsters that appear in the area, you will obtain the [Awakening Mist].

"By absorbing the [Awakening Mist], one can gain extraordinary abilities."

"Everyone's extraordinary abilities are vastly different, unique and varied, but they can generally be divided into two categories."

"Some people will acquire abilities that are more spiritual."

"Some people's abilities are more focused on the physical aspects."

"Those who acquire the former ability are called Divine Sense Masters by our Special Operations Bureau, and those who acquire the latter are called Martial Body Masters."

"There's not much difference in quality between the two. At most, the number of people who have obtained extraordinary spiritual power, namely, Divine Sense Masters, is less than that of Martial Body Masters."

"Before using the [Awakening Mist] to gain extraordinary power, there are actually clues to whether each person can become a martial arts practitioner or a spiritualist."

"And this 'traceable' advance prediction is what the Special Affairs Bureau refers to as 'possibility'."

"This training camp will be conducted in a reasonable and targeted manner based on the 'possibilities' they have gleaned."

"Like me, if I were to gain extraordinary abilities, they would most likely be related to the physical body, meaning I would become a member of the martial arts practitioners."

"Then the training camp will focus more on physical training."

"Take you for example, Chai Siyuan. If nothing unexpected happens, you will most likely also gain extraordinary abilities related to the physical body, and you will be... assigned to... a group with me."

At this point, Luo Yang's face fell, and his enthusiasm for continuing waned, as if he had touched upon something painful.

The people present were hearing for the first time that it was possible to predict in advance what kind of ability one would receive before acquiring extraordinary powers.

They all looked thoughtful.

[Martial arts practitioners, spiritual masters... these are similar to what Zhang Guanghai said, which is to know in advance what type of ability they will gain...]

Chi Le looked out the window at the scenery rushing past.

He was also curious about what kind of ability he would gain if he acquired extraordinary powers.

……

The training ground of the Special Affairs Bureau in the eastern suburbs of Jiangcheng.

As soon as Chi Le got out of the car, he saw the four-story building that occupied a considerable area at the training camp.

According to what Luo Yang just said, this is called the Comprehensive Building, which is where we will learn theoretical knowledge and be taught fighting skills.

To the left of the main building is a sports field with a 400-meter running track and a number of fitness equipment.

To the right of the main building are two separate dormitory buildings, which will be their residence for the next month.

Overall, this training camp is practically a miniature school.

"Finally arrived. This journey has been truly agonizing."

Luo Yang stretched as he got out of the car, twisting and turning to loosen his muscles.

Wu Min didn't say anything, but as soon as she got out of the car, she did the same as Luo Yang, stretching her body a little.

"Wow……"

As soon as Chai Siyuan got out of the car, she exclaimed in surprise, then her voice grew softer and softer, and finally she puffed out her cheeks.

"It feels like my school again, like I'm back in school..."

After everyone got off the bus, Chi Le and the others set off first. Zhong Shancheng, who was already in place, said to the people who had just gotten off the bus.

"gather."

Upon hearing Zhong Shancheng's voice, the group walked towards the open space in front of him.

Seeing that everyone had gathered, Zhong Shancheng spoke up.

"These people will be your mentors during your training camp."

"Yan Wu and Yue Dong are in charge of teaching combat techniques."

"Li Wen is in charge of explaining the theory of the Strange World."

"..."

Zhong Shancheng began to introduce the people standing next to him one by one.

I've met a few of Chi Le's colleagues a few times; they belong to the Internal Affairs Department.

As for the others, Chi Le had never met them before.

However, judging from the excited way Luo Yang and Wu Min were discussing, they must be from the field operations department.

"Finally, I will be in charge of instructing the martial arts practitioners, and he..."

Following Zhong Shancheng's hand, Chi Le saw another familiar face.

One of the people who fought the four-legged toad in the core area during the Changxing Street mysterious fog invasion incident.

"He, Zhao Hai, will be in charge of teaching the Divine Sense Masters."

A tall, thin man with glasses, just like Zhong Shancheng, waved to the crowd.

Hi everyone.

The crowd was in an uproar, including those who were shocked by the fact that the head of the field operations department had personally come to provide guidance, and those who were puzzled by what Zhong Shancheng had said.

"This training camp was actually led by Minister Chung himself!"

"But what did Minister Chung mean?"

"Why is there still a distinction between martial arts practitioners and spiritual masters? Hasn't none of us in this group truly entered the bizarre world and gained extraordinary abilities yet?"

"Could it be that one of us has already acquired extraordinary abilities?"

"This doesn't make sense. If they have extraordinary abilities, why would they need to participate in this training camp?"

"What kind of medicine did the Special Operations Bureau buy?"

Hearing the whispers around him, Luo Yang's reaction was even greater than that of Zhong Shancheng, the one who announced the news.

He raised his head slightly, looking at Chi Le and the others with a proud expression.

His face clearly conveyed something.

"See! My information was correct!"

Zhong Shancheng did not intend to answer any of the questions from the people present. He silently accepted the box handed to him by the staff.

Place it on the table that has been set out beforehand.

One of them was a bronze mirror that was almost completely stained with rust and had a mottled and cloudy surface.

He held a rusty bronze mirror in his hand and began to speak.

"The next person whose name is called, please come forward."
