The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

The martial journey is long and winding; a moment of smooth progress cannot decide the final achievement.

However, when someone truly shows an unparalleled upward momentum, attention and expectation are inevitable.

Qin Jin could feel the importance embedded in these few words.

Facing Chi Chenzhou’s gaze, Qin Jin solemnly nodded and said in a deep voice, ”I will do my best.”

Chi Chenzhou smiled, said nothing more, and simply said, ”Go on.”

Qin Jin bowed and turned to leave.

His figure gradually receded into the distance.

Chi Chenzhou watched as his figure left the courtyard, disappearing from sight, then turned his gaze to the other end of this Star Sea Island.

There lay the location of the Martial Saint Stele.

”Pass on the flame, let the saplings grow sturdy until they become towering trees that shelter future generations.”

”Mr. Chen...”

”The current Federation has truly achieved this.”

”Just hoping that in the future, the already formed root system won’t decay for some reason and can continue to thrive smoothly.”

With a silent monologue in his mind, Chi Chenzhou’s figure fluctuated for a moment, then disappeared from the spot.

...

After Qin Jin entered the courtyard, Candle Kite concealed herself. Now, as Qin Jin left, Candle Kite reappeared in front of him.

Qin Jin looked at her, raising an eyebrow slightly, ”Candle Kite, once the school term begins, everything will rely on you.”

From leaving the academy and traveling across the Star Sea, embarking on a path to sainthood, during this time, the one who would closely accompany him was only Candle Kite. She would take on multiple roles, including but not limited to starship pilot, teacher, assistant, and more...

”Leave everything to me.”

Candle Kite, who followed beside Qin Jin, always had a lively personality. Now, she patted her chest confidently, showing a determined look.

Qin Jin smiled, stepped out of headquarters, and a hint of anticipation rose in his eyes.

He was equally filled with anticipation for this martial arts journey.

Returning to the campus area, Qin Jin became busy.

Even before the school term began, Qin Jin spent every day outside his cultivation hours entering the academy’s library, studying the Breathing Technique.

His accumulation in the Breathing Technique had never ceased, and up to this point, it had quite a form. Now it was just a matter of further refinement.

As his cultivation realm advanced, Qin Jin’s actions also grew bolder. In the Sacrificial Fire Tribe, more Breathing Techniques involving different attributes and directions were spread, expanding the future choices for the people there.

As time passed, with the start of the school term approaching, other students of the same year gradually began returning to the campus.

Today, at midday, Qin Jin stepped out of the dormitory and headed to the dining area within the academy.

After finding a private room and entering it, Qin Jin’s gaze suddenly focused on the only figure inside.

It was a young lady with short chestnut hair and an exquisite face, looking at him as well. In the mutual gaze, Qin Jin saw that her pupils were like brilliant blue crystal stones, deep and mysterious.

”Han Miao?”

Qin Jin recognized her and spoke.

”Yes.”

The response was a rather mature-sounding voice.

Meeting the gaze Qin Jin sent over, Han Miao continued, ”During the time you were away from the academy, I made some breakthroughs, unlocking some limitations.”

Her tone sounded somewhat awkward.

”Congratulations.”

Qin Jin said sincerely.

Having collaborated on missions with Han Miao made them familiar with each other. Seeing her free from external constraints, he felt genuinely happy for her.

Being able to become an S rank in the Martial Abyss means that even if the leap in cultivation cannot be as large as his, she is still growing every moment.

While the two were conversing.

The sound of the door opening echoed, and two figures entered, one after the other.

Bai Huaiyu and Xie Wuya.

The initial four who met upon entering the academy were reunited today.

”Qin Jin!”

At the moment of stepping into the private room, Xie Wuya took a step forward, sizing up Qin Jin, ”Long time no see!”

After the task period at the academy ended, Qin Jin hadn’t returned, and quite some time had passed.

Once he finished speaking, he didn’t stop: ”I heard the academy has special arrangements for you, which is why you didn’t return. Qin Jin, isn’t it because your cultivation progress is too fast, prompting the academy to make other training plans for you?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Jin raised an eyebrow slightly, ”Something like that.”

”Is that so!”

Xie Wuya’s eyes widened slightly, his mouth moving, finally giving a thumbs-up, exclaiming, ”Awesome.”

He didn’t inquire into too many details, nor did he ask about Qin Jin’s cultivation progress.

Coming from the Dao Field, his experience endowed him with sharp insight. At the moment he saw Qin Jin again, he realized that the gap between himself and this classmate had widened even more.

The four of them sat down.

Beside them, Bai Huaiyu’s voice sounded, ”After returning to school this time, will you leave again soon?”

The other two looked over.

Qin Jin nodded, ”Once the term starts, I’ll leave. Next, I’ll go on a cultivation journey arranged by the academy.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s reactions were different.

After a lengthy chat and a satisfying meal, the four left the dining area.

Just after stepping out, two young figures approached from the front. After passing by, a voice called out from behind.

”Qin Jin!”

”Are you Senior Qin Jin?”

Their steps halted, and they turned around to see the two unfamiliar figures stepping forward, one male and one female, appearing to be quite close. Now, the young boy had a somewhat excited expression as he looked at Qin Jin.

”I am.”

Qin Jin nodded.

”It’s really Senior Qin Jin!”

The boy’s expression showed excitement, then he spoke seriously, ”My name is Chu Wen, a new student in the Martial Abyss.”

”Senior Qin Jin, I’ve watched your combat video in the Limit-Breaking Cup.”
