The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Chapter 145: Chapter 96: Arrival of the Celestial Being (Part 2)

Morning.

The sun on Zhi Xia Star had just risen.

Qin Jin’s figure suddenly appeared inside the villa.

He had hardly slept the night, but at this moment, he didn’t show any signs of fatigue. After the Spirit Ruins were formed, the spiritual power became gentle and provided blessings in other aspects, paired with the warmth of the Celestial Cyan Jade Pendant, allowing him to advance further on the path of the king of the realm.

The simplest formula to become a powerhouse is talent plus hard work.

On top of this foundation, Qin Jin also had other forms of support, and only through effort could he make the most of everything he possessed.

With a slight shift in thoughts, the profession panel was summoned.

Qin Jin’s gaze fell on one of the items.

[Spiritual Index: 100.1]

Spiritual Index over 100!

Having both indexes over 100 signifies that Qin Jin has entirely stood at the threshold of the Innate Realm.

As the panel retreated, Qin Jin calmed his mind and seriously sensed himself.

“After breaking 100 in Spiritual Index, the connection between body and spirit seems more intimate, giving a feeling of being one.”

“However… ”

“The so-called spiritual mechanism is still without a clue.”

With thoughts flashing by, Qin Jin’s expression remained unchanged, picking up the personal terminal from the side, and opened a specific interface.

“Candle Kite.”

Qin Jin called softly.

With the call,

under Qin Jin’s gaze, the terminal projected a light screen, and at the top, the figure of a person in formal office attire emerged.

It was Candle Kite.

Once her figure appeared, the light screen fluctuated, transforming from a 2D display into a 3D projection, hanging mid-air with a slightly mechanical female voice resonating.

“Wuyuan Academy, AI Candle Kite, at your service.”

“Hm?”

Qin Jin looked at the projection only about the size of a palm and spoke, “You aren’t the Candle Kite from the day you brought me here?”

“That was one of the main avatars.”

“Each S-Class student’s personal terminal is connected to their exclusive Candle Kite avatar.”

Her responding voice sounded: “Detection of Inheritance Seed identity, meeting criteria for main avatar reception, change?”

“Change.”

With permissions available, naturally, they should be utilized.

When it comes to cultivation, this is the most crucial thing, and Qin Jin wouldn’t be negligent in the slightest.

As his voice fell,

this palm-sized Candle Kite avatar exhibited a fluctuation, and under Qin Jin’s gaze, the formal work outfit turned into the style of a long dress, with no change in size but a clearly more lively look in the eyes.

Upon appearing,

her small figure floated in mid-air, looking at Qin Jin, with familiar and gentle words sounding.

“Qin Jin, we meet again.”

“Is there anything you need my help with?”

Qin Jin pondered briefly, then asked, “Candle Kite, in the past, have new students ever reached the Innate Realm before school begins?”

“Yes.”

Candle Kite’s response sounded: “According to academy records, the most recent case was two years ago, followed by another five years ago, and another seven years ago…”

She reported a series of information.

As an AI avatar serving students, she would carefully answer every student’s question.

“So, not without precedent.”

A thought flashed through his mind, without surprise for Qin Jin.

The Federation’s base is too large, under such conditions, geniuses emerge in succession, extraordinary figures occasionally appear, driving the Starfire Federation to prosper continuously.

With thoughts passing by, Qin Jin straightforwardly mentioned the next question.

“Both my Life Index and Spiritual Index have surpassed 100, reaching the basic requirements for breaking through to the Innate Realm.”

“What assistance can the academy provide for my breakthrough to the Innate Realm?”

Candle Kite’s small figure settled on the tabletop, and upon hearing the question, her inquiry sounded.

“Qin Jin, do you mind revealing your cultivation information to the academy mentors?”

“I don’t mind.”

Qin Jin replied.

Once in the academy, this would eventually be shown, hiding one’s Martial Arts Realm is meaningless.

“Please wait.”

Upon receiving his answer, Qin Jin clearly saw Candle Kite’s eyes shimmering, seemingly communicating with others.

Not long after,

Her voice sounded again.

“Your martial arts cultivation information has been informed to the academy’s Celestial Human Guides.”

“According to academy rules, S-Class students are eligible for guidance from Celestial Human Guides.”

“Exceptional S-Class students even have a chance to be chosen by Celestial Human Guides as exclusive students, enjoying the treatment of Celestial Being Disciples.”

“Qin Jin, currently there are five Celestial Human Guides expressing interest in offering guidance for your breakthrough to the Innate Realm.”

“Of these, three are not present within the academy, and can only offer video guidance.”

“Here is the information for the five mentors.”

Candle Kite tapped lightly with her finger, and beside her, a light screen appeared, with five information frames floating side by side at the top.

The information was quite simple, just the name and realm, not even a portrait.

The Celestial Human Realm, already a high realm of martial arts, such information would naturally not be easily disclosed.

An S-Class Student means the academy recognizes your potential, while a Celestial Human Guide represents strength acknowledged by the Federation!

The five information frames floated beside her. Candle Kite looked at Qin Jin, speaking gently, “The dual-choice between a Celestial Human Guide and an S-Class Student should normally be done after the semester starts.”

“Now it looks like, Qin Jin, you need to choose from among these five mentors in advance.”

“Besides that.”

“Qin Jin, because you are ranked as an Inheritance Seed, the academy can open the Origin Realm for you, to assist in your breakthrough to the Innate Realm.”

Compared to the initial clone, Candle Kite’s main avatar communicated like an ordinary person. Just as she was about to explain to Qin Jin what the [Origin Realm] was, her expression subtly changed, and she spoke.

“Qin Jin.”

“Among the mentors showing interest in you, one of the Celestial Human Guides who hasn’t left the academy during the vacation has come directly to find you.”

…

Outside the villa district.

Xie Wuya squatted by the roadside, a blade of grass in his mouth, leaning against a lush tree, his gaze directed skyward.

At Wuyuan Academy, everyone has their own busy affairs.

Since the last gathering, Qin Jin has been busy breaking through his Spiritual Index, and Xie Wuya has also been busy, constantly watching for any new S-Class recruits coming in.

Up to now.

He no longer contented himself with making house calls, instead sitting directly at the entrance of the villa district waiting

for new S-Class students to add his contact information before choosing their residence.

His approach was that of accepting all comers.

At this moment.

His gaze swept over, suddenly focusing on a spot.

In the distance of his vision, a figure was striding toward the entrance.

“A new student?”

Interest arose in his eyes, but then he noticed the absence of Candle Kite guiding the figure, and withdrew his gaze.

“Academy teacher, or staff?”

Instinctively guessing, Xie Wuya looked again.

The scene before was empty, as if the previous moment had been an illusion.

“Where did they go?!”

Instinctively rubbing his eyes, Xie Wuya found it empty once more.

During the vacation, the academy was sparse with people as it was.

He withdrew his gaze, instinctively scanning the surroundings, finally pausing within the villa district.

The figure that had appeared in his eyes earlier was now within the villa district, standing before a villa, pressing the guest button.

“Oh boy.”

“An expert!”

Xie Wuya instantly realized, “It’s a martial arts powerhouse within the academy.”

“That place is…”

He looked toward the villa where the person stayed, “Qin Jin’s residence?”

…

“Celestial Human Guide.”

“Directly at the door.”

Qin Jin was momentarily stunned by the news Candle Kite conveyed.

But…

Before he could think further, his personal terminal lightly vibrated, and a guest alert popped up.

A figure.

Appeared in the light screen image.

“Who is this?”

Qin Jin instinctively glanced at Candle Kite.

“That’s right, it is.”

Candle Kite nodded.

Seeing this, Qin Jin’s gaze fell on the five information frames hovering at the side, speaking calmly, “Candle Kite, since this mentor is already here, wouldn’t it be impolite to choose someone else?”

“From a human relations standpoint, indeed not very polite.”

Candle Kite’s face was serious, “Moreover, this Celestial Human Guide shows great sincerity, coming to find you voluntarily.”

“Though a Celestial Human Guide has the duty to mentor students, their primary focus is still on their own cultivation.”

“Their proactive approach surely means they hold you in high regard, which is a good thing.”

She fully considered Qin Jin’s perspective.

“Since the mentor is already at the door, can you tell me some related information now?”

“Academy rules, even I cannot violate them.”

Candle Kite’s petite figure showed a look of difficulty, “You should meet them yourself. With the abilities of the Celestial Human Realm, they could have come in to see you directly. Since they didn’t, it shows she respects you very much.”

“I understand.”
