These people are naturally the martial arts geniuses selected by Chu Tianyi on the mining star.
They come from five major survival zones and are gathered here at this time.
According to Chu Tianyi, there will be three final candidates.
Although he didn't explain thoroughly, through his speech, it can be deduced that now, on the mining star, young people who excel in martial arts have likely received invitations from various forces.
And these forces that obtained [tickets], the final team they form will be structured as three people to compete in the Chosen One battle.
"According to Chu Yan, there were initially 127 people."
"Others have been eliminated in the initial evaluation?"
The thoughts turned over.
Qin Jin stepped forward, preparing to leave.
A group of young people was waiting here, but he had already been established as the captain by Chu Tianyi, so naturally, he didn't need to wait together.
Chu Tianyi made it clear that his opinion would be referenced for the final selection, but now the remaining people are still too many, not yet the right time for him to observe.
Just as he was walking past the crowd calmly.
A shout suddenly rang out.
"Qin Jin!"
This call contained surprise, and many eyes turned toward him.
Qin Jin followed the voice and saw a figure quickly approaching. As he drew near, his tone was somewhat agitated: "Brother Jin, it's really you!"
Yu Sheng!
This is one of Qin Jin's school friends.
His height is average, he wears glasses, and there's a scholarly air about him, but under the clothes hides a physique that's been tempered over time.
Seeing him come over, Qin Jin seemed thoughtful.
Yu Sheng was, however, in the excitement of seeing an old acquaintance: "Brother Jin, which channel did you come through?"
Hearing his inquiry, Qin Jin replied evenly: "Through family and friends' connections, you?"
"I see." Yu Sheng answered and explained, "I received an invitation from the special training class teacher. You know, that martial arts family member in the Innate Realm."
"When he approached me, I specifically asked him if I could tell others about it, but he forbade it, so I couldn't tell you.
"I didn't expect you to be participating as well."
"That's great."
Qin Jin gave a gentle smile.
On a remote mining star on the edge of the star system, why would someone from the Innate Realm suddenly come to hold a special training class?
Looking now, everything seems to be part of a plan; this is also a kind of selection method.
At this moment, the mining star has probably entered a period of power struggle among various forces.
"Yu Sheng, since you're here, seize the opportunity."
The message Yu Sheng sent earlier contained a sense of regret, which aligned with what he was saying now. Qin Jin's expression became more serious as he spoke in a deep voice: "Even if you're eliminated halfway, it will still help in the school entrance exam six months later."
"You must take it seriously."
"I have other matters. You take care."
Qin Jin patted his shoulder and, seeing Yu Sheng's somewhat dazed expression, turned to leave.
Yu Sheng's face was full of questions, as he pursued: "Brother Jin, aren't you waiting with us?"
"No need."
With the sound falling, Qin Jin was already heading towards the base's exit.
The exchanges between the two were observed by others.
The martial arts practitioners have sharp ears, and since neither concealed their conversation, the dialogue entered the ears of the young people present.
One of them frowned, looked at the base personnel who arranged them here, and spoke loudly with a solid voice: "Instructor, is this person also one of us?"
The person called instructor was Chu Yan.
He looked at Qin Jin's back, and upon hearing the inquiry, he responded calmly: "That's correct."
"He's the confirmed captain."
"Captain?"
"Why him?"
"Everyone has just arrived here. Why is he the captain?"
"Shouldn't a captain be selected through competition?"
One stone stirred a thousand waves.
After reaching the age of sixteen, one can practice breathing techniques and embark on the martial arts path.
Practicing ahead of time could adversely affect physical growth.
Now, the young people gathered here already have talents in martial arts that exceed ordinary people and are at a particularly youthful and vigorous age.
Chu Yan's answer directly aroused dissatisfaction.
At this moment.
In the midst of this argument, Chu Yan didn't stop it; his gaze was directed forward, looking at Qin Jin.
Qin Jin had already turned back around.
Looking at the noisy scene, without halting it, his eyes slightly lowered, and his spiritual power activated.
Light flashed across his eyes.
In an instant, the scene suddenly quieted down.
Because, in their eyes, the sky suddenly darkened, black clouds pressed against the city, and thunder roared down, while the Withered Bone Thunder Elephant surged forth, charging in!
Martial artists who haven't stepped into the Newborn Realm don't have visible spiritual power, so how can they resist?
Seeing the Thunder Elephant attacking, they naturally felt timid.
The moment their hearts grew faint, the thunderous giant elephant simultaneously disappeared, causing no harm to them. Everything returned to normal, but the subconscious racing heartbeat let them know what they had just experienced. Their expressions were filled with surprise as they looked at Qin Jin.
Among these dozens of individuals.
Eight had also stepped into the Newborn Realm!
They had also practiced the visualization technique and realized it was a spiritual level shock, mobilizing their spiritual power to prepare to resist.
But…
Just then.
The Thunder Elephant attacking from the spiritual world raised its head and looked at them.
Those were eyes void of any color, extremely cold, and contained pressure. In the instant of its gaze, it felt like falling into an ice cave, causing their spiritual power to collapse and disintegrate.
The more intense the resistance, the heavier the impact.
Among the eight Newborn Realm practitioners, five fell and fainted; the others' faces turned pale.
It was not only that Qin Jin's spiritual index surpassed theirs.
It was also because he visualized the Three-headed Exotic Python, his progress being more than halfway, although unable to fully reproduce it, he could already manifest part of it.
This area was completely silent.
Qin Jin glanced around.
His tone was calm: "If anyone disagrees with me being the captain, then come and defeat me."
"You are always welcome."
After leaving a sentence.
Qin Jin turned and left the base.
In the original location.
There remained silence.
Until Chu Yan's voice rose.
"Someone, come here."
He took out a specialized communication device and called out, and soon, within the base's buildings, doctors arrived to treat the unconscious individuals.
The silence was broken.
Like an explosion, discussions arose among the crowd.
"Just now…"
"You saw it too?"
"Is this person already in the Condensation Realm?"
"Who exactly is he?!"
"No wonder he's the captain."
Yu Sheng stood there.
Looking towards the direction in which Qin Jin left, his expression was complex.
Just a moment ago, in that indiscriminate mental assault, he too saw the scene of the Thunder Elephant charging.
However, Qin Jin naturally wouldn't let him get hurt.
"Qin Jin…"
"You fellow, have you already become so strong?!"
Thinking back to the scenes where he and Qin Jin practiced together at school, and the gap between them now, it seemed as if the sky had fallen, even though he wasn't physically hurt, but his heart was slightly aching.
"It was barely a holiday, and the holiday isn't over, so how come…"
With the base doctors' treatment, the unconscious people gradually woke up, still feeling fearful.
It was precisely at this time.
An exclamation resonated.
A figure wearing a black coat stepped into the air, the wind whistling, standing with hands behind him, and looking down at everyone.
Chu Tianyi!
