In the face of this series of measures, the public's doubts gradually subsided.

"Please, everyone, believe in us. We have the capability, the determination, and the conviction. This nation will not fall before we do."

Zhou Yuanjue's calm yet infinitely resolute gaze appeared on the screen.

At the same time, the interview was drawing to a close.

"In a person's life, the most precious wealth is not found in the outside world, but within the heart."

"It's never too late to practice the Martial Dao."

Zhou Yuanjue's final words lingered in everyone's ears, stirring a certain emotion within their hearts.

So much so that no one really paid attention to Luo Manli's closing remarks.

With that, the interview program came to a complete end. Without a doubt, it had achieved excellent results.

After the program ended, a massive wave of heated discussions instantly erupted in homes and across the internet.

"The Celestial Demons don't seem as terrifying as I thought! I believe our country will definitely protect us!"

"That's right! Everything will be alright! The Celestial Demons are nothing to be afraid of!"

"These measures sound great, but we'll have to see how they're actually implemented. Otherwise, they're just verbal promises. If we don't see concrete action, it's all just a publicity stunt."

This was the discussion regarding the Celestial Demon incident.

"The standard-issue equipment looks so cool! When do the black-clad patrol teams officially start their duties? I want to go watch!"

"Same here! When are the sentry posts going to be built? I want to go watch too!"

"Why doesn't the standard-issue equipment include handguns? Wouldn't firearms be more effective?"

This was the discussion about the standard-issue equipment.

"What exactly is a Life Magnetic Field? How powerful is an S Class Martial Artist? Can they tear a tank apart with their bare hands?"

"We all have a Life Magnetic Field inside us, so how do we train and use it? Can any experts explain?"

"Willing to pay a high price for an Inner Power Heart Method to train my Life Magnetic Field! I am exceptionally talented, can piss ten feet against the wind, hardworking, and extraordinarily intelligent…"

This was the discussion about the Life Magnetic Field concept Zhou Yuanjue introduced on the show.

"Is it too late to start practicing martial arts at thirty?"

"Are there any reliable martial arts dojos in Yu Sea? Recommendations, please!"

"How do you get into a Martial Arts University? Are there any good Martial Dao prep classes?"

This was the discussion about Martial Dao training.

Besides these, there were also some strange things mixed in on the internet.

"My husband is so handsome!"

"I've been licking my screen so much it's stopped working. How do I fix it?"

"Need high-res screenshots of the Principal! I want to use them as my wallpaper!"

Without Zhou Yuanjue even knowing it, a "fan club" had actually been established for him.

All in all, the interview made the upcoming mobile patrol teams famous, the standard-issue equipment famous, and the Martial Arts Realm famous all over again. Zhou Yuanjue's influence also rose to a new level.

To a certain extent, he had now become a spokesperson, or rather a symbol, for the entire Donghua Martial Arts Realm.

At least, that's how it was in the hearts of the general public.

This was precisely Chen Qingmu's plan.

In times of crisis, role models and paragons are needed more than ever, and Zhou Yuanjue fit all the requirements.

This interview ignited multiple topics of conversation, and amidst the heated discussions, the fear of the Celestial Demons gradually dissipated.

...

...

「The next day.」

The information revealed during yesterday's interview continued to ferment, and some people were already beginning to notice changes around them.

Across the country, most cities began construction projects. Some of the sentry posts originally belonging to the traffic department were temporarily requisitioned and rapidly modified. Although they weren't staffed yet, they attracted crowds of onlookers.

Meanwhile, cities nationwide issued notices for emergency evacuation education and drills. They quickly began to conduct emergency evacuation training on a per-school and per-company basis.

Furthermore, informational materials about the Celestial Demons were printed in the shortest time possible. They mentioned corresponding precautions and announced a nationwide tip line for the Secret Inspection Bureau. If anyone discovered a suspicious individual, they could immediately report it via the phone line, and personnel would be dispatched to investigate.

Through this series of changes, the "Secret Inspection Bureau," a special department that had been hidden in the shadows, gradually came to light and became known to the general public.

No one had expected the official response to be so swift, completely changing their somewhat sluggish image in the public's mind.

When security and stability are at stake, the machinery of the state operates at an extraordinary speed.

The Donghua Official, in particular, possessed the world's greatest mobilization and organizational power. Once they were determined to do something, their momentum and resolve were difficult for ordinary people to imagine.

This was a great power, fundamentally different from the individual power of the Martial Dao, yet just as immense.

The power of the masses could move heaven and earth.

And this series of massive initiatives by the authorities undoubtedly won the hearts of the people, earning their support.

Only with unity from top to bottom could they be invincible.

...

...

At this moment, Zhou Yuanjue also obtained an item of great importance to him.

"This is the thing I made for you, just as you requested."

On Zixiao Mountain, Daoist Bailong tossed a withered, wood-like object toward Zhou Yuanjue.

Zhou Yuanjue caught it and saw that it was a palm-sized, flask-like container made from a type of hard, jet-black deadwood. Unscrewing the lid, he could see intricate runes carved on the inner wall of the container, filled with a strange beauty.

"So this is what's made from Peach Wood? It seems a bit small," Zhou Yuanjue remarked with a raised eyebrow, examining the black wooden flask in his hand.

"Making a Dharma Artifact results in waste," Daoist Bailong said, unable to help but roll his eyes. "Did you think the amount of raw material translates directly to the size of the finished product?"

"It's just a small, palm-sized thing. What's its capacity?" Zhou Yuanjue asked.

"Based on your consumption rate, if it's completely full, it should hold enough for about ten to fifteen minutes, I think? That should be enough time for you, right?" Daoist Bailong said.

"Ten to fifteen minutes..." Zhou Yuanjue mused. "That should be sufficient. How long can the contents be stored in here?" he asked.

"That, not so long. It will gradually dissipate within three days, so you'd better refill it often. Don't come saying I ripped you off later," Daoist Bailong said with a smile.

"Is that so? In any case, thank you," Zhou Yuanjue said with a nod.

This Peach Wood Dharma Artifact that Daoist Bailong had given him had no offensive capabilities. It had only one true function: to store a certain amount of Magnetic Field Power for a limited time.

And Zhou Yuanjue was preparing to use this very Dharma Artifact to store the Power of the Southern Dipper Starlight, temporarily compensating for his inability to use the Southern Dipper Star Fire during the day.
