The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

The mecha descends.

The Azure Thunder Profound Halberd rapidly descends along the slope. Within the cockpit, Qin Jin’s gaze shifts in another direction. Below the entire Ark, transport bays open one after another, like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, countless mechas descend to the naked eye.

Besides the task specialists here to execute the clearing mission, there are also the soldiers of the Pioneer Corps, acting in organized formations, creating a truly awe-inspiring scene.

The fusion of technology and the Extraordinary has allowed the Starfire Federation to establish a foothold in the Star Sea, and this very moment is proof of it all.

”And this is just a clearing mission for expansion.”

A thought flashes through Qin Jin’s mind: ”This level of operation is hardly significant for the current Starfire Federation; the true Civilization Battlefield is a thousand, ten thousand times greater than this.”

The terminal trembles slightly.

Candle Kite’s voice rings out, accompanied by Qin Jin’s response. The terminal projects a light screen showing the specific mission range area. This is a collective operation in a battle regiment style, just as the regiment leader mentioned a while ago: everyone only needs to complete their tasks without rash actions.

The luminescent sea is divided into countless zones. Qin Jin sweeps over with his eyes, confirms his mission area, and as the sound of breaking water arises, the external noise suddenly becomes muffled—the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd enters the water!

Rune patterns flow across the mecha’s surface, coating it with a layer of power radiance, repelling the surrounding.

Qin Jin is slightly moved in his heart. At the lower end of the mecha’s right arm, the Profound Dragon Halberd descends, expanding in an instant and being gripped in his hand.

This is not Qin Jin’s first time piloting a mecha into the water, but it is his first time going deep into the ocean.

The ocean on this numbered planet is rather peculiar, with a strange luminescence on the seawater surface. However, upon entering the sea, it quickly becomes dark, as if that luminescent layer has blocked all light sources from entering the water.

But now...

Accompanied by the continuous sound of entry, the mecha lights up, and inside the ocean, infinite light sources bloom, illuminating the path ahead.

Qin Jin’s body sinks, and the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd, under his control, continues to dive deeper.

The top layer of the sea hosts no life. As depth increases, some strange-looking marine life comes into view. In the mecha’s radar module, their Extraordinary Factor is minimal, not yet qualifying as normal Extraordinary Creatures and clearly not the target of the Pioneer Corps.

The mecha cluster continues to dive deeper.

After diving a certain distance, the spacing between the mechas enlarges, ensuring at least three mechas in every small divided zone to guarantee mutual support in case of emergencies.

The Azure Thunder Profound Halberd continues to dive deeper. Upon reaching a certain depth, Qin Jin’s spirit surges, and his connection with the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd becomes even deeper, his perception extending, combining with the mecha’s radar, the two joining efforts.

And at this moment.

His gaze shifts suddenly downward.

His first [prey] has appeared.

The surface ripples intensely. Facing the collective invasion of uninvited guests, the Extraordinary Beast from the deep sea launches an attack first, battles erupting in all directions.

The Exotic Beast attacking from the depths towards Qin Jin is remarkably similar to an octopus monster. Its body is earth brown and massive; as its tentacles dance, beams formed by strange powers shoot directly at the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd.

Qin Jin’s expression remains calm. As the energy shield of the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd activates, his own power, like a turbulent river, surges forth, the energy shield reverberating as the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd thrusts forward with the Great Halberd in hand.

The power beams impact the shield, creating layer upon layer of ripples but failing to breach it.

At the same time...

Qin Jin has already closed the distance. Facing the tentacle striking with mysterious shimmering light, he opts for a swift, decisive cut, raising the Great Halberd. The Thunder Power swiftly unleashes, cutting vertically downwards, causing astonishing waves in the water, the Profound Dragon Halberd’s single slash dispersing Thunder Power, severing everything.

The energy disperses, and the entire gigantic creature’s body, as if being slashed by countless sharp Thunder Blades, is instantly cut into countless segments.

Simultaneously.

The Thunder Power is fully restrained, no excess leaking to impact other combat areas.

After completing all this.

Qin Jin no longer pays much attention, prepared to delve deeper.

Subsequently, Pioneer Corps personnel will recover the carcass of the Extraordinary Beast, evaluate its value, and calculate it into the task rewards upon final departure.

This is also the reason Qin Jin did not choose to obliterate the opponent entirely.

The Azure Thunder Profound Halberd passes by the remnants and dives to the seabed.

Just as it passes by.

With a sense of perception, Qin Jin’s brow furrows, his gaze turning back towards the remnants.

The opponent seems to have completely lost its life force, with no movement.

However...

With such close proximity, combined with Qin Jin activating his perception ability to the extreme upon entering the deep sea, he keenly senses some anomalies.

Within the Spirit Ruins, the Grotto Heaven fluctuations provide a blessing, Qin Jin’s eyes sharp, his Spiritual Perception spreading out, conducting a serious investigation. As his spirit halts on a fragment of the carcass no larger than an arm, his gaze sharpens. A wisp of frost sweeps across the rotating black orb on the chest of the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd, freezing it completely. Then with a slight intention movement, he directly pulls it back with power, landing it in the palm of the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd.
