The Deep Driller races beneath the quiet night sky.
After the sun has set, the Great Wilderness plunges into a deathly silence, the night sky void of stars and moon, everything becoming mere travelers of the night, only distant and indistinct terrifying roars echoing in the distance.
Inside the cockpit, beside Qin Jin, a light screen forms, sketching into a simple map with several marked locations.
[Fire-Attribute Treasures]
[Sacrificial Fire Tribe]
[Initial Transmission Point]
During the development process, he engaged in more communication with the people of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe.
After consideration, he decides to allow them to retain the name of Sacrificial Fire Tribe.
In this boundless Great Wilderness, the flame symbolizes hope, and the words "Sacrificial Fire" carries a fitting connotation.
Moreover, if one wishes to expand and strengthen this group of dozens of people, assimilating the former Sacrificial Fire Tribe people is a necessary move.
The words "Sacrificial Fire" will make them feel a stronger sense of belonging.
His gaze lingers on the map, thoughts swirling in Qin Jin's mind.
"Next time I come, I can instruct them to record and enhance the map while exploring the surroundings."
"Fierce beasts roam the Great Wilderness, along with countless secrets, but based on existing information, at least there are no strange entities present."
"That's quite fortunate news."
"This time, I'll return to the Federation, compile my findings, and return more prepared."
His eyes flickered.
Having become the Sacrificial Spirit of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe, he will provide some aid, but won't fully immerse himself.
After all, whether it's the vast Star Sea or this boundless Great Wilderness, personal power remains crucial, individual growth surpasses all else.
The Deep Driller moves forward, continuously scanning surrounding information.
Around half an hour later, the Deep Driller stops, lowering its body, the cockpit door sliding open.
Once the Life Index reached 19 points, his physical condition far surpassed ordinary people, Qin Jin leapt from the cockpit, landing on the ground.
Qin Jin truly stood within the Great Wilderness.
He gently sniffed, the air carrying a natural earth scent.
It's the unfiltered primal air.
The Deep Driller did not activate its lights, in the pitch-black dark where no fingers could be seen, seriousness rose in Qin Jin's gaze, chest rising and falling, amidst breaths, Life Energy activated, and subtle sounds like muffled thunder began to rumble from his physique, practicing martial arts in the wild.
Thunder Beast Breathing Technique!
One of the basic breathing techniques taught by the Mineral Star Xinyang District School.
During this time, using the profession panel, Qin Jin's mastery of this breathing technique reached perfection.
As the breathing technique operated, muscles surged, Qin Jin systematically increased Life Energy amid the vibrations.
And during this process.
Qin Jin perceives his own condition, suddenly concentrating his gaze.
The breathing technique is the magic technique for a Martial Arts Family to temper themselves, Life Energy constantly increases during self-tempering.
But at this very moment...
Operating the breathing technique within the Great Wilderness, aside from Life Energy, Qin Jin clearly perceives another unknown energy accompanying the breathing technique's operation, gradually being introduced into his body.
Not much of this entering energy, like trickling streams, yet quite volatile, merging with his physique causing continuous stinging sensations throughout his body.
Simultaneously.
Influenced by this energy, Life Energy became more active, growth rate also accelerated.
"Is this the unique energy found within the Great Wilderness, similar to Spiritual Power described in novels?"
Qin Jin's eyes sparkled.
"The breathing technique's principle is to exploit the Martial Arts Family's potential, but it has generated different effects in this world."
"Will more advanced breathing techniques have even more astounding effects?"
He didn't stop his actions, continuing to operate the breathing technique.
Choosing to drive the mecha away from the Sacrificial Fire Tribe, not only due to insufficient trust, but because he wishes to verify some ideas.
After some verification, he confirmed his perspective.
Gaining insights, Qin Jin hesitated no longer, returning to the cockpit.
Summoning the profession panel, thoughts gently moved, and the Deep Driller vanished from the spot.
...
Inside the old warehouse.
Silently, the Deep Driller appeared at the vanished location.
The cockpit opened, Qin Jin stepped down the high ladder for a short distance, then leapt to the ground.
He raised his arm, the light screen projection displayed the time.
[PM 8:35]
This is primarily a communication-focused technology wristwatch.
Meanwhile, various information popped up on the light screen.
"The time of the two worlds is one-to-one."
"This is both good and bad, at least there's no need to worry about one day here equating to a year there."
With the initial exploration concluded, a tense mood relaxed, Qin Jin's thoughts particularly active: "If such a situation indeed arose, wouldn't it turn into a thousand-year secluded cultivation in the Great Wilderness, becoming invincible in the Federation?"
"At that point, it'd truly be one glance a millennium."
Thinking of such a scene, Qin Jin chuckled softly, fingers lightly tapping the light screen, detailed information displayed.
"Qin Jin, for the grand feast at noon, are you really not coming back to eat? [Image]"
"Qin Jin, my dad asks you to visit his office next weekend, he has something to discuss with you."
"[Forwarding video] Star Cat is so adorable, I really want to have one, wait until you soar and arrange one for me!"
The only one who communicates in such a tone is naturally Yan Yue.
"Uncle Yan has something for me?"
Qin Jin's thoughts turn, briefly replying "Received", then looks at other messages.
"Brother Jin, I've decided to enroll in a martial arts special training class during the holiday, I've heard it's hosted by an Innate Realm Martial Arts Family, want to join?"
"Why haven't you replied yet! Brother Jin, are you secretly working hard?"
"???"
The message sender ID is "Yu Sheng".
This is his classmate with whom he gets along well in school, often training together.
In Yan Yue's words, among the five people with Life Index over ten, Yu Sheng occupies one position.
"An Innate Realm Martial Arts Family, eh."
Qin Jin's eyes slightly lowered.
As the Federation's popular choice for evolution, the specific path for Martial Arts Family long ceased being secret.
Martial artists who initially step onto the martial path are called apprentices.
Apprentice martial artists practice the breathing technique, temper themselves, once Life Index reaches 20 points, experience a transformation, thus becoming true Entry-Level Martial Arts Family, breaking into the New Life Realm!
Above the New Life Realm, called the Condensation Realm.
After transformation, the Martial Arts Family's Spiritual Will becomes clear.
At this stage, aside from breathing technique, the Martial Arts Family must also cultivate the Visualization Technique, temper Spiritual Will, enhancing Spiritual Index.
Willpower and body soaring together, Spiritual Index and Life Index climb high peaks, complementing each other, mutually benefiting, ultimately reversing Innate.
To this point... achieving the Innate Realm Martial Arts Family!
"Third Realm Martial Arts Family."
"If it were before, I would definitely participate, but now..."
Thoughts swirling, Qin Jin hesitated no longer, responding directly: "I'm not going, I've already made arrangements."
After the response, the light screen faded.
Qin Jin turned back, carefully maintaining the Deep Driller.
After all, it accomplished great deeds today.
After busying himself, Qin Jin stopped his actions.
"First, have dinner, then go home and sleep."
"Tomorrow, I'll begin skillfully handling all matters."
For a Martial Arts Family in the starting phase, good rest is equally crucial.
If rest is insufficient, personal weakness might even cause Life Index fluctuations and declines.
With the profession panel, Qin Jin's Life Index is solidified, only increasing not decreasing, yet mental fatigue is unavoidable.
He strode towards the door, after identity verification, the door opened, the outside scene entered his view.
Gazing out, though it's evening, the surroundings bright with lights, warehouses of varying sizes standing around, numerous mechanical creations are busy working.
Some work automatically, others are human-operated.
This is the storage operation area of Xinyang District.
Seeing Qin Jin emerge, greetings echoed around.
During this period, Qin Jin frequently visited, becoming familiar with the nearby staff.
He responded, locking the warehouse door, and looked up at the sky.
As his gaze turned.
A sea-blue light screen sprawls across the sky, elliptical, descending at a distant boundary, enveloping the entire Xinyang District.
And beyond the light screen.
Are terrifying thunders piercing the heavens and earth.
