44: Divine Will

With his Divine Intent condensed and Qin Jin not actively concealing it, his entire being exuded vibrant spirit and was in a state of sharp brilliance, which Zhong Yi noticed.

Meeting her startled gaze, Qin Jin nodded, “I just broke through.”

Hearing his reply, Zhong Yi fell silent.

Finally, she uttered two words.

“Monster.”

She still remembered when she first met Qin Jin; he had just entered the Newborn Realm.

Now, that meeting felt like yesterday, yet the young man before her had already stepped into the second realm of Martial Arts.

“Qin Jin.”

Zhong Yi’s expression turned serious, “As a senior from Wu Yuan Academy, I formally invite you to seriously consider our Wu Yuan Academy in the future.”

“Begging your pardon, but in terms of Martial Arts departments, every single one in the Corridor Star System cannot compare to our Wu Yuan.”

“Only at our academy can your talent be fully displayed.”

Qin Jin looked at her, “Teacher Zhong, are you also in charge of admissions?”

“Why call me Teacher? That’s too formal, isn’t it?”

Zhong Yi chuckled softly, “Just call me Senior Sister from now on.”

“I just can’t bear to see a pearl hidden in the dust. If your progress in cultivation continues to show such performance, after you come to our academy, you might even receive personal guidance from our principal.”

“That is something countless people dream of.”

Her tone was relaxed, yet full of certainty.

Judging by the actions of Senior Chi Chenzhou, he would clearly not be stingy with guiding junior prodigies.

“I will put Wu Yuan Academy as my first choice.”

Qin Jin replied.

What Wu Yuan Academy did was undoubtedly very pleasing.

However…

His most urgent matter now was the Star God Chosen; other matters had to take a backseat.

If he could truly become a beneficiary of the Chosen Plan, everything would undoubtedly need to be re-evaluated.

“Teacher Zhong, you personally came here this time, is it…”

“Of course, it’s to deliver your subsidy.”

Zhong Yi didn't insist on the invitation, stretched lazily, and said calmly, “You are the first student who was placed on the observation list through me. I’ve been very busy lately, so I’m taking this opportunity for a public-funded trip to relax.”

Speaking of this, she looked up at the sky, “The Federation seems to be making some big moves here; the Mining Star is under martial law.”

“After verifying my identity and official business, they let me in, but also limited my stay.”

Qin Jin remained silent.

He naturally knew the whole story.

Zhong Yi retracted her gaze and lightly touched her bracelet.

An alloy box, about half a person tall, was retrieved, with a password set on top.

“This is the initial resource subsidy provided by the academy for you.”

“If your performance continues to be excellent, there might even be a second phase, and a third phase.”

“In principle, the academy doesn't care how you use these resources, whether you sell them or use them yourself, as long as you don't regret your choice.”

“The password is the start date of this year’s school selection exam.”

Qin Jin looked down at the box.

“Thank you, Teacher Zhong.”

“It is because you are excellent enough.”

Zhong Yi waved her hand, then her tone became a bit more serious, “For the Federation to impose martial law, something big is probably going to happen here.”

“Qin Jin, you are on a Mining Star, be careful with everything.”

“I originally wanted to see if there were any extraordinary creatures on this Mining Star, but they limited my entry and exit time.”

“Now that the task is complete, I’m leaving.”

“I hope to see you in the academy next time.”

Leaving these last few words and bidding farewell to Qin Jin, she turned and left, quite uninhibited.

Qin Jin watched her back disappear into the distance.

He picked up the alloy box, returned to his residence, entered the password, and began to examine its contents.

Inside the box, various types of secret medicines were equipped: healing, cultivation aids, body tempering, and so on…

As a top academy within the star system, all their products were high-quality, far surpassing equivalent secret medicines available on the market.

A Martial Artist who had just begun cultivation, with these, could likely cultivate with peace of mind directly until the school selection exam.

However…

For the current Qin Jin, they were merely better than nothing.

After all, for the Star God Chosen, Chu Tianyi had directly prepared a small team for him.

After a brief glance, Qin Jin closed the alloy box.

“I have everything prepared in the base; I no longer need these.”

“I can give them to Yan Yue to use instead.”

“Although her Martial Arts talent is average, with the help of these secret medicines, her early progress will definitely accelerate. Then, for the school selection exam, even if she chooses another major, she can still get bonus points for the Martial Arts section.”

“In the Star Sea Era, even if one cannot shine on the path of evolution, one must still practice Martial Arts to strengthen the body and maintain health.”

Having grown up in the Yan family, the Yan family members were his relatives.

Now that he had the ability, he would not be stingy with helping his family.

With thoughts swirling, Qin Jin’s gaze focused on the alloy box, lingering for a few seconds before he turned and left.

Although these were useless to him now, this was help that Wu Yuan Academy had proactively given when he had just displayed his talent and had nothing, without expecting anything in return.

He was willing to accept this favor.

And, at the necessary time in the future, he would repay it.

…

Leaving home, Qin Jin did not immediately rush to the warehouse but first went to the school to find the contact information for the school’s high-level staff.

Holidays, after all, were limited…

During this period of diligent cultivation, days passed by, and the start of school was already imminent.

Due to the Star God Chosen, coupled with his current Martial Arts realm, it was clearly not suitable for him to continue studying at school.

After all, the Martial Arts teacher, Wen Jinglun, was only in the second realm.

After a series of contacts, Qin Jin took a leave of absence.

For the time being, he could avoid going to school and directly participate in the school selection exam when the time came.

The school director responsible for related matters initially did not want to agree and was very concerned about his recent situation.

After all, Qin Jin’s reputation as a genius had long been evident at the school.

Once Qin Jin displayed his realm, all problems resolved themselves.

After a series of errands, Qin Jin returned to the warehouse, logged into his mecha, and established a connection.

Great Wilderness…

Enter!

…

In an instant, he had already arrived at the Sacrificial Spirit Hall.

The moment he arrived, he clearly sensed the active spiritual energy of various elements around him.

With his spirit elevated and Divine Intent condensed, his perception abilities had significantly improved.

Intrigued, Qin Jin calmed his mind, and his Divine Intent extended out at this moment, entering the outside world.

In the past.

His mental power, when exploring outside his body, required the protection of karmic power.

Now, with Divine Intent formed, this golden-armored Divine General leaped out, ascended into the sky, left the Sacrificial Spirit Hall, and arrived above the Si Huo Tribe, no longer needing any other protection.

This was a substantial evolution of mental power.

It could truly explore the surroundings independently of the body.

The Divine General hovered in mid-air, overlooking the Si Huo Tribe.

The current Si Huo Tribe presented a vibrant scene, with its people performing their respective duties.

Qin Jin saw Shi Cang practicing martial arts behind the hunting team, his small face serious, punching and kicking, occasionally letting out soft grunts and shouts.

He also saw a group of women cultivating; the tribes of the Great Wilderness had existed for a long time, and they had their own food system.

On the outskirts of the Si Huo Tribe, young adults were leveling the ground, expanding construction.

After observing for a while.

His Divine Intent returned to his body.

Qin Jin reached out and rubbed his temples.

“My mental power is still too shallow.”

“Currently, the time and distance for Divine Intent to leave the body are extremely limited.”

“However…”

“Judging by the current performance, aren’t the Divine Intents of those powerhouses who have climbed to higher Martial Arts realms similar to the divine sense of cultivators, capable of exploring extremely far distances?”

“The Martial Artist evolutionary system is far more extraordinary than its job title suggests.”
