The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Chapter 379 - 169: Martial Arts Grandmaster, Great Wilderness Upheaval (Part 5)

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded in her ear.

"Principal Fang, student Qin Jin has set off."

Without seeing the person, just by hearing the voice, it was Candle Kite!

This time, her voice was quite gentle.

"Oh?"

Fang Hanmei put down the documents in her hand: "What type of mission did he choose?"

"Planetary cleansing mission."

The relevant information was displayed on the light curtain in front of her.

"A cleansing mission, the danger level is not low."

Fang Hanmei murmured and asked, "Have all the preparations been made?"

"They were arranged right after the mission was confirmed."

"Moreover..."

"Qin Jin’s mentor voluntarily retrieved the relevant information. From her behavior, it seems she intends to follow secretly."

"Gu Huang truly cherishes her student."

Fang Hanmei shook her head, sighing: "Back when Gu Huang was cultivating at the academy, she got similar treatment. It hasn’t been long, and she has become the one protecting others."

"Since she is willing to accompany, it seems our preparations are rather superfluous."

"Principal Fang, should we cancel them?"

"No need."

Fang Hanmei refused with a word: "Being thoroughly prepared is better than leaving any loopholes."

"Candle Kite, you need to learn to understand our human implicit meanings, as this is the direction for your further progress."

Saying this, she stood up from her seat, walked to the window, and gazed into the distance, looking in the direction of the starship berthing area.

"Cultivating and witnessing the smooth growth of a genius is truly not easy."

"There is the fear that the protection isn’t thorough enough, leading to unexpected events."

"Yet it can’t be too meticulous, lest it lose the meaning of tempered growth and ends up spoiling."

"Qin Jin."

She whispered, uttering the name: "He is considered the most outstanding and aggressive student in the academy in recent years."

"I wonder how long this rapid progress can continue and how far he can go in the future."

"Speaking of which..."

She began conversing with Candle Kite, who had never appeared: "After the proposal concerning Qin Jin was submitted, the resistance was much less than I expected. Is there something I am not aware of?"

"Did Principal Chi know, which is why he made this decision?"

"Candle Kite, what do you think?"

"I think, Principal Fang, you are overthinking it."

"Overthinking?"

Fang Hanmei was thoughtful.

Candle Kite’s voice sounded again: "Based on my judgment, Principal Chi likely made his decision purely because he recognized that Qin Jin’s exhibited talent is worthwhile, at a 99.7% probability."

"Is that so."

Fang Hanmei was silent for a moment, finally nodded, and said: "Candle Kite, you are right."

...

Great Wilderness.

A team was advancing across the wilderness.

Behind them, tamed fierce beasts either dragged or transported the prey.

The Hunting Team of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe.

After the festival ended, everything with the Sacrificial Fire Tribe returned to normal, and after understanding the surrounding tribes’ influence range, exploration and hunting never ceased.

At this moment.

The leader of this hunting team bore quite a young face.

Qi Ze!

Although young, he was undoubtedly an old hand in the Sacrificial Fire Tribe and one of the first treasure skill awakeners to appear within the tribe. After Xia Rock Tiger succeeded the role of tribe leader, parts of the hunting team affairs were entrusted to him.

The team surged forward.

Amidst their advancement, someone’s voice from the tribe arose.

"What is that?!"

A shout of astonishment.

The members of the hunting team all looked in the direction he pointed.

Their gaze turned in that direction, noticing that, originally under a clear, cloudless sky, dark clouds suddenly started to form.

The dark clouds initially only covered a patch, but in just a few breaths, they continuously expanded, dimming the sky rapidly and even obscuring the two great suns above the celestial vault, creating the appearance of ominous clouds pressing down on the city.

"Is it going to rain?"

A voice of murmur sounded within the team.

In an instant, the Great Wilderness seemed to plunge into the night prematurely, forcing the hunting team to ignite torches to illuminate their surroundings.

Looking heavenward, the clouds stretched continuously, endlessly, appearing to cover the entire Desolate Celestial Vault.

Yet inside the dark clouds, no thunder was witnessed, no rain descended. After forming, they just silently existed above the celestial vault, creating a bizarre spectacle.

"Return to the tribe first."

After observing quietly for a while, Qi Ze made a decision and looked at the tribespeople around him: "Move forward with all speed."

His thinking was simple.

If this was some natural disaster, returning to the tribe would be safer.

Within the tribe, they could also be of greater help.

The hunting team sped forward quickly.

Amid their rush.

Above the celestial vault.

Light appeared!

From above, brilliant radiance illuminated the ground. Qi Ze, leading at the forefront of the team, looked up to see, within the clouds, light beams like dawn breaking through were casting downwards, resembling sharp swords piercing through the clouds. This divine light of heaven descended from the celestial vault, landing on the earth.

The closest one to them appeared just a few miles away.

And in the distance, there were other divine lights breaking through the clouds, descending to the ground.

The nearest divine light to them landed on what used to be a small hill, but under the illumination of the divine light and in the eyes of the hunting team members, the hill... began to grow!

This was supposed to be a ground-shaking, world-shaking scene, but all the repercussions were constrained within the divine light, causing no additional impact on the Great Wilderness land.

The mountain grew.

In the blink of an eye, the original small hill transformed into a magnificent peak, yielding a beautiful vista.

Only after ascending several hundreds of yards did the transformation cease.

The divine light still enveloped the area, but did not obscure the view within, which was imbued with spirituality, plainly an extraordinary place.

Meanwhile.
