The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Even with Qin Jin’s well-tempered physique, he felt an overwhelming strain. After barely sustaining himself for a few seconds, he hurriedly halted the operation of the Breathing Technique, and the starlight formed by his Primordial Power dimmed.

At this moment.

A gentle voice sounded within the glow in his perception.

“Interesting.”

Qin Jin suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked around.

His figure was still in the courtyard, without any movement.

There was a dislocation between his spiritual perception and the actual position of his physique.

“Just now, that was…”

“Where was I taken?”

“That voice…”

Thinking of the location of the Martial Abyss Martial Arts Series, a guess suddenly arose in his heart. Without hesitation, he clasped his hands and greeted, “Qin Jin from the Martial Abyss. If my cultivation just now offended Your Excellency the Star God, please forgive me.”

No one responded.

But Qin Jin became even more certain of his guess.

If it were a strong figure within the Martial Abyss, there would be no need for such behavior.

“So, where was I taken during cultivation? That place filled with glow even attracted the attention of Your Excellency the Star God.”

“It must be the core area of Zhi Xia Star, otherwise the Star God wouldn’t pay attention.”

“If it’s the effect of the Star Breathing Technique, then there should be information about practicing this technique on Gaia Planet when rewards were given in the Star Ascending Arena.”

“So, it was due to myself, combined with the Star Breathing Technique and the uniqueness of Gaia Planet, that these three elements together created this wondrous journey?”

Qin Jin exhaled a long breath.

He hesitated for a moment and did not continue to try.

Even though that word “interesting” didn’t seem to carry malice, Zhi Xia Star is an old Gaia Planet within the Federation, and even the headquarters of Martial Abyss is set up there, showing the close relationship between the Zhi Xia Star God and the Federation.

Interrupting once in the dead of night can be considered interesting, but disturbing multiple times would not be appropriate.

“I’ll try more after going home to see what’s causing the issue.”

“At that time, if there are unclear points, I’ll directly ask Your Excellency the Observer.”

Having made a plan, Qin Jin stopped his cultivation.

He took out the communicator he had brought to the academy, edited a message, and sent it out.

The recipient was Teacher Chu, Chu Tianyi, seeking information related to the Spiritualist.

Although the Limit-Breaking Cup had ended, he might encounter other Spiritualists in the future, and asking someone who had ventured far down this path would undoubtedly provide clearer information.

At the same time, Qin Jin sent out several more messages involving other matters.

After a flurry of activity.

The night deepened.

Qin Jin continued with his cultivation.

…

Days later.

In the morning.

With the faint morning light, Qin Jin had already risen early. As he sat at the dining table, eating breakfast, he watched the program on the light screen.

On the light screen was a mecha combat program, engaging in mech battles under harsh environments.

Compared to truly top-tier mechas, the mechas in this program primarily focused on appearance, striking a notable figure. Whether they were strong or not, they were definitely stylish enough.

At this moment, his personal terminal vibrated slightly.

Qin Jin glanced at it and gently tapped it. Radiant light shimmered before him, and the small figure of Candle Kite appeared on the dining table.

“What’s the matter?”

After a semester, Qin Jin and Candle Kite were already familiar, so he asked directly.

“Two things.”

Candle Kite resumed her lively demeanor whenever she met with Qin Jin, “Qin Jin, due to your performance in the Limit-Breaking Cup, after discussions, the academy decided that from next semester, your life at the academy might undergo some changes, so be prepared.”

Qin Jin nodded in understanding.

In the final battle, he defeated Shi Luoshu. Even if the opponent wasn’t the strongest of the third-year students, they were certainly among the most outstanding.

Such a performance, coupled with his cultivation progress, made adjustments quite normal for someone considered an Inheritance Seed of the academy.

“And what’s the second thing?”

Qin Jin’s voice sounded.

Candle Kite didn’t reply immediately.

She raised her small hand and drew a circle in mid-air, constructing a teleportation channel. Out of it, an object floated forth.

It was a palm-sized pendant in the shape of a sword sheathed, glowing faintly. Under Candle Kite’s control, it floated toward him.

“This is a gift from Principal Chi to you.”

“It can protect you in crucial moments.”

Speaking quickly, Candle Kite added, “After learning you were involved in a top-secret mission, Principal Chi personally inquired about it.”

“I understand.”

Qin Jin raised his hand to grasp the pendant.

The glow faded, and it seemed unremarkable.

But it came from a Transcendence Realm expert, making its effect immeasurable.

“Candle Kite, thank Principal Chi for me.”

Candle Kite smiled gently.

“Qin Jin, you may continue with your work.”

“When the person coming to pick you up arrives at the academy, I’ll inform you immediately.”

“Alright.”

Under Qin Jin’s gaze, Candle Kite’s figure dispersed.

As time passed.

At the anticipated time, Candle Kite’s prompt sounded. Qin Jin gathered his equipment and took a vehicle to the docking area.

Here, he saw two unfamiliar figures.

To pick him up were two women, almost identical in appearance, looking like twins, wearing the same robes, making it impossible to tell them apart.

Following behind them, Qin Jin boarded the starship.

Upon entering the starship, Qin Jin raised his terminal to check the time, only to find that the terminal’s communication system was directly blocked, rendered ineffective.

Amidst the roar, the starship launched.

“Ladies.”

Though he had some guesses in his mind, this setup made Qin Jin a bit more serious: “Now, can you tell me where our destination is?”
