Stellar Sea Shaman
On the streets of the George Town Arts Festival in Penang, Malaysia, a young Chinese man, Lin Xingyun, was manipulating his family's inherited wayang shadow puppetry, retelling the story of Hanuman, the monkey god from the Ramayana. The sparse audience could hardly conceal the desolation of this traditional art. Then, a global "spiritual rain" of aurora suddenly streaked across the night sky, shattering all tranquility. Communications were disrupted, the crowds panicked, and a psychically-fueled, giant-sized monitor lizard burst from Penang National Park. Its scales were so tough that even military bullets could not penetrate them, instantly transforming the streets into a purgatory.
To protect a frightened little girl, Lin Xingyun retreated behind the stage. In a moment of desperation, he instinctively channeled the surging heat within him into the Hanuman puppet. The puppet on the screen suddenly came to life, transforming into a golden light that penetrated the lizard's shadow, instantly freezing and withering, leaving only a glowing spiritual core. The moment he grasped the spirit core, an ancient voice echoed in Lin Xingyun's mind: "Psychic energy has returned, and the ways of witchcraft have been revived... You are the chosen successor." This scene happened to be witnessed by the surviving General Zheng through a telescope, and he was shocked.
After returning home, Lin Xingyun unearthed a rusty Chris dagger from his grandfather's wooden box. The moment the spirit core approached, the dagger's rust cleared and shone. The inheritance of the "Star Spirit Atlas" and the "Wu Mark" cultivation system flooded his mind - it turned out that ancient Southeast Asian witch civilizations used psychic energy to communicate with the stars. With his newfound power, he easily subdued the thugs who came to challenge him. However, while searching for clues in Thailand, he encountered the ancient Muay Thai master Buakaw. Using the "Shadow Snake Wu Mark" to control shadows and defeat the enemy, a strange black mark appeared on his arm after the battle. An elderly overseas Chinese revealed that it was the mark of Nanyang black magic. A Nanyang turmoil that starts with a shadow puppet artist and involves psychic powers, witches and unknown crises has begun......
