The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1230

(Unedited)

…

The exams began and the academy is now busy with the new curriculum. In the Mecha pilot area, Qin Joming has a confident smile on his face as he lines up in one of the rotating seat pods. As he watches the event happening, he notices something about the test.

The seat would rotate for 10 seconds, and those that pass the test are people who did not experience extreme dizziness and vomiting.

While watching he noticed a few people staggering to the side and some even could not stand on their feet.

"What kind of thing is this? Is it really that bad?" he thought as he continues watching the event before him.

Although Qing Joming was a bit afraid, he did not show it on his face. He then steps forward as he is the next in line.

He suddenly saw the rotating seat as it spin and spin for 10 seconds.

When the seat stopped, the person who just got on has already passed out.

"Oh, my heavens…" Qing Joming could not help but say.

His expression is a bit pale as he felt weak on his knees now.

"Student, Qin Joming…" the teacher on the side called.

Qing Joming did not answer as he stood there in a bit of shock.

"Umm…" he wanted to say something but was stopped by the teacher.

"Alright get in…" he was dragged in the seat as Qing Joming helplessly sits down and was buckled securely.

He was still in a daze even after the seat began to spin.

1 second… 2 seconds… 3 seconds…

The seat began to spin faster.

By the 5th second, it is already spinning really fast.

Then is slowly stopped, Qing Joming is now showing a pale expression on his face. But did not stagger nor pass out. He did not even puke.

He just walks away calmly from the line as the teachers graded him as a pass.

He just walked in a straight line as if he was not in his right mind.

When he reaches the wall, he suddenly stopped.

His expression is a bit pale, and then suddenly as if everything comes at one time, he pukes in front of the wall.

He did not what happened next as he found himself sitting beside the area where he throws up.

"Huh… That… that was a bit… scary… but… but at the same time not…" he muttered to himself.

In fact, at that time he just did not want to be embarrassed that he held everything in and decided to endure.

He slowly lifted his shaking hands and then a wry smile appears on his face.

"What have I gotten myself into…" he muttered as he slowly stands up.

He began walking back and then saw the pale expression of Tung Jo beside Lin Wayin who sits beside him.

The two have the same pale face but are sitting calmly on the side.

"Guys… are you done?" Qing Joming asked while looking at the two.

"Yeah… It was… it was fun at first, but became a bit scary…" Tung Jo said.

"How about you… did you pass?" Tung Jo suddenly added.

"Yes… And you guys?"

"Yes, we passed, but barely…" Lin Wayin said.

"Tomorrow will be the first day of school. They said that there will be 6 old model training Mechas to be sent to the academy… I can't wait to see one…" Tung Jo said with a hint of excitement on his pale face.

"Hihi… Me too… But we need to rest early… Can you guys send me home?" Lin Wayin said while showing a coquettish smile.

"We'll walk with Xin Ja and Rou Chenchen then…"Qing Joming suggested.

"Alright…"

It was already nighttime when the assessments were done and out of the many students, around 30 passed the preliminary pilot test and 40 engineer apprentices.

The number is a bit high than the school expected, so they quickly prepared everything for tomorrow's start of the classes.

…

That night, Xin Ja and the gang walked the two women to their homes before going home themselves.

As Xin Ja was passing by a corner before entering the street towards his house, he noticed that the once empty courtyard in that street corner actually now has someone staying in it.

As he passes by the gate of the house, he suddenly noticed a carriage pass by him and stop by the gate.

Then a small figure alighted from the carriage.

"Eh? Little Yenxi?" Xin Ja muttered.

The little girl wanted to run inside the house but held herself back as she excitedly peeks inside.

"Mama… move faster! I want to see our new house…" the little girl said excitedly.

Xin Ja immediately realized that the little girl is exactly Zhang Yenxi.

"Hey… Little Yenxi!" he suddenly called as he headed toward the carriage.

"Eh?" the little girl was a bit confused then showed an excited expression upon discovering the young walking towards her.

"Mama! Look! It's Big brother Ja!... Big brother!" Zhang Yenxi suddenly ran towards Xin Ja excitedly.

Xin Ja caught the little girl in his arms and lifted her up.

"How is my cute little sister doing?" Xin Ja asked with a smile.

"I missed you, big brother. Mama and I left that place because that bad uncle is always visiting us and harassing mother… So we secretly went to this place. Big brother, do you also want to live with us?" the little girl ranted with a hint of annoyance in her tone, but then softened when she said the last sentence.

"Hehe… Do you know that I live near this place?" Xin Ja said.

"Really?"

"Yes… My house is that way into the groove of trees." Xin Ja said.

His house is about 600 meters away from where he is right now, so it is not that far.

"Eh? Big brother… your house is scary…" the little girl said while looking at the dark forested area.

"Are you afraid?" Xin Ja asked.

"Ugh… If you carry me, I won't be afraid…" she said as she leaned her head on Xin Ja's neck.

This time, madam Zhang has already alighted from the carriage and looking at the two who are talking. She could not help but feel warm. Xin Ja is the son of her mysterious cousin and her relative, so she feels a bit close to the young man.

But she is just feeling sad about his mother's attitude towards him and his father.

"Auntie…" Xin Ja greeted.

"Young Ja, it's been a while, come in first…" Liu Qinxin said as he walks inside the manor.

Xin Ja was greeted by some familiar faces from the servants. From one look, he knew that not all of the servants were brought by Madam Zhang to this manor.

It seems that she did not trust the other servants back there.

Xin Ja stayed for a while in the new manor of Madam Zhang and played with the little girl before going back home.

When he went back home, he saw his father sitting calmly on the wooden seat under a big old tree with his legs crossed.

A few Ki stones are laying around him in a formation, with Master Wang standing calmly on the side.

After the days that Xin Ja has left home for the military, Xin Jong has already advanced to the 11th level and became a Ki Adept.

Through the guidance of Master Wang, it seems that he is already breaking through to the 12th level.

Xin Ja did not disturb his father and just watched him cultivate.

Soon, he could feel a strange ripple in the air.

Then a large amount of Ki erupted within the area coming from his father's body.

Xin Jong's body slowly floated in the air and slowly landed as everything calmed down.

"I've broken through…" he muttered with a big smile on his face.

As soon as he opens his eyes, he immediately saw two figures looking at him.

"Son… you're back!" he called.

"Master Wang, thank you for helping my father…" Xin Ja said while cupping his hand.

"Haha… Your father is as talented as what the rumors said about him from years ago. You father and son is really worth my time… Hahaha…" Master Wang said with a loud chuckle.

Then he shifted his gaze to Xin Ja and said with a crafty smile.

"Young Ja… let's have a talk…" he said then looks at Xin Jong.

"Consolidate your cultivation and Ki first…" he said as he walks inside the courtyard.

Xin Ja followed him from behind with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

When they enter the room, the door suddenly closes and a formation was spread all over the room.

"No one will be able to hear us…" Master Wang said with a smile.

"I have noticed something about you, Little Ja. You've been keeping a secret from this master of your, aren't you…" Master Wand said.

"Ugh… What… What do you mean master?" Xin Ja asked in confusion.

"Hahaha… Crafty little fellow… do not worry I will not peer into your secret. But I advise you hide that armor well…" he said while pointing at Xin Ja's chest.

With this, Xin Ja knew that his master is talking about the exoskeleton.. Well, he could not blame his master, as his strength grew, the exoskeleton would also emit a stronger Ki aura.
