The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Chapter 126: Chapter 89: Secrets of the Great Wilderness (Part 3)

“Yu Sheng, in the future, will you be protecting the captain or will the captain be protecting you?”

“Jiang Panxia, don’t underestimate me. In the Federation’s martial arts history, there have indeed been those who rose to the top after consolidating their strength. In my view, Brother Jin has the form of a Martial God. In my future, I’ll barely manage to become a Celestial Being, which isn’t bad.”

The air is filled with a cheerful vibe.

At this moment.

In the distance.

Yan Gaoyuan’s voice rings out.

“The skewers are ready, come and get them!”

There, five people in total: Yan Yue’s parents, Yu Sheng’s parents, and Jiang Panxia’s mother.

“Coming!”

“Celestial Being” Yu Sheng replied swiftly, leaping down from the saber-toothed tiger’s back and jogging over.

On the tiger’s back.

Yan Yue and Jiang Panxia start talking.

Regarding the Chosen One, further information is undisclosed, but Yan Yue already knows Yu Sheng and Jiang Panxia are Qin Jin’s teammates for the mission.

Qin Jin props his hands behind his head and lies down, gazing at the starry sky.

“Top academy…”

“The supreme hall of inheritance in the Starfire Federation.”

“Although there’s no need to participate in the big exam, facing countless top talents in the star system won’t be scarce once in the academy.”

His thoughts shift; looking at the stars above, he suddenly thinks of his parents.

When he was young, his parents passed away, leaving him to reside at Yan Yue’s family.

Those few childhood memories, the emotions within his bloodline, already faint due to time, become even weaker as he awakens fragments of past life memories.

However, gazing at the stars above, perhaps due to today being a family gathering, his mind can’t help but drift back to childhood memories.

“I’m doing well.”

Qin Jin murmurs in his heart.

As the thought flashes by.

Inside his dantian, the Dao Foundation in the form of Thunderstruck Wood rises and falls, with the latent power surging, retracting, forming a cycle, continuously refining himself.

Upon the withered branches, at this moment… fresh green shoots have grown, adding a hint of vitality to it.

He has never been one to lament over spring or mourn autumn.

Living in the moment, looking to the future.

So much unknown attracts him, waiting to be explored, and the underpinning of all…

is strength!

…

The annual school selection exam is a grand event within the Federation.

The school selection exam is categorized into cultural, martial exams by star system regions.

Cultural exams entail multiple subjects on cultural aspects. In today’s Starfire Federation, evolvers of different routes are particularly valued, but the importance placed on cultural aspects has never diminished, as technology is a crucial link in the evolution of human civilization.

The so-called Eighth Realm Martial God’s strongest destructive power with armor is undoubtedly the result of individual evolution and civilized technology.

In such cultural exams, extra points can be granted based on martial arts achievements.

The martial exam is specifically established for young individuals pursuing the Martial Arts Family route.

Awakened Spiritualists need not participate, the Esoteric Buddhism lineage doesn’t involve the big exam yet, and gene modification and mechanical modification of the technology side are often the ultimate choices when unable to continue down the Martial Arts Family route.

Every year for the school selection exam, the Federation designates specialized planets as exam venues.

In the morning.

Qin Jin watches Yan Yue and Yu Sheng board different starships.

Jiang Panxia belongs to the Deep Valley District; she will depart with the starship from her hometown.

Withdrawing his gaze, Qin Jin’s eyes focus on a figure, and he walks over quickly.

“Teacher Wen!”

The figure is indeed Wen Jinglun.

At this moment, he verifies his students boarding the starship and turns back with a smile when hearing Qin Jin’s call.

The scar on his face remains, but he looks somewhat serene.

“Qin Jin, I owe it all to you!”

He smiles, “I heard from Zhong Yi, you’ve secured a special admission quota for Wuyuan Academy and can enroll directly.”

“Wonderful.”

“Not to hide it from you, because of your influence, I’m about to be reassigned.”

“Hmm?”

Qin Jin’s eyes narrow slightly.

He looks at the smiling Wen Jinglun, “Teacher Wen, why not stay on Mining Star and teach?”

“The environment on Mining Star has changed significantly; it’s nothing like before.”

Mining Star.

The future Gaia Planet.

If you leave now, it feels somewhat…

Wen Jinglun is the teacher who introduced me to martial arts, and he helped arrange for Zhong Yi to get me on Wuyuan Academy’s watch list, a matter I’ve never forgotten.

“I understand your point.”

Wen Jinglun lowers his voice a bit, “I’m not an idiot, of course, I can see the massive changes on Mining Star.”

“Just that, I have reasons I must leave.”

“Qin Jin.”

He speaks steadily, “Once you reach Wuyuan, you’ll truly see numerous talents in the star system.”

“The foundation of the five major survival zones on Mining Star is still very small”

“I hope you can stand out and carve out your space in Wuyuan Academy.”

“By then, I’d be proud, and if you make a name for yourself, I could ride your coattails.”

He plans to say more.

At this moment, noticing students entering the starship have stalled, he raises his voice, “What’s going on? What’s happening?”

After nodding towards Qin Jin, he quickly approaches the situation.

Qin Jin watches his back.

Through Zhong Yi, he learned about this teacher’s past achievements.

According to Zhong Yi, Teacher Wen’s Dao Heart was shattered by someone else’s blade.

Yet from my interactions, Wen Jinglun always maintains a positive mindset.

“I wonder if it’s the impact of years educating students.”

Qin Jin recalls Zhong Yi’s evaluation, “What kind of style would the person who defeated Teacher Wen have?”

Thoughts whirl in his mind, Qin Jin turns around and leaves the starship docking area.

…

The saber-toothed tiger has spent a leisurely time in the household, looking a bit plump.

But with the school selection exam commencing, Qin Jin will also set out, marking the end of its good days.

As he rushes along, gazing at the large creature staring at him in the restricted zone, Qin Jin remains unwavering.

The saber-toothed tiger, being an extraordinary creature, is unsuitable for living in the bustling urban areas once Qin Jin leaves Mining Star; the restricted zone is more fitting for it.

In the restricted zone, Qin Jin bids farewell to the Star God’s unslumbered intent, mentioning the saber-toothed tiger specifically.

Then, he departs from the restricted zone.

Outside the restricted zone, the Star Shuttle awaits.

Inside the Star Shuttle, Zhang Zhenwu, the ancient weapons instructor from Wuyuan Academy, is waiting.

With the school selection exam starting, he will also leave Mining Star and return to the academy.
