Chapter 814: Hunt Down the Mine Thieves! (Request Monthly Votes)

"These are gifts I prepared for my junior brothers and sisters!"

With that, the metal box was passed into the hands of the sixteen people, including Teacher Mu Hong and Liang Tai's trio.

After receiving the metal boxes, everyone smiled and thanked him:

"Thank you, Fourth Senior Brother!"

Li Qing looked at the metal box in his hand and asked curiously, "Why do we get one too?"

Lin Qi smiled and said, "We've never given gifts to Teacher or our senior brothers and sisters before—this time, consider it a belated gesture!"

"It's all from my heart!"

Mu Hong, in his black robe, nodded without hesitation and stowed the metal box into his space ring.

These gifts had all been prepared in advance!

In the past, as the junior, I was always the one receiving gifts.

Now that I'm considered a senior, it's my turn to give—and I won't be stingy.

Luckily, my father transferred me 500 million Deep Space Credits; for junior students, these resources are incredibly valuable.

Then Lin Qi chatted casually with his junior classmates, strengthening their bonds.

Finally, he sat down with Teacher Mu Hong, Liang Tai, Wang Wang Zhixuan, and Li Qing for a relaxed conversation.

Liang Tai smiled and said, "I'm currently stationed at the Black Dragon Base!"

"Most of my time is spent at the base, often hunting Catastrophe Beasts alongside other warriors."

"Over the past few decades, the nature of warfare has changed dramatically."

"The balance of power between us and the Catastrophe Beasts has shifted completely."

"Now, we're the ones actively hunting the Catastrophe Beasts!"

"Every day, major war bases open space gates to lure out Catastrophe Beasts and launch furious hunts to earn merit points."

"In addition, warriors form teams to enter Trial Planets and excavate rare celestial treasures."

"Some warriors even choose to develop planets within the Solar System."

"For example, they travel to the Moon, Mars, and establish bases there to mine resources."

"We've already seen results—both the Moon and Mars contain abundant mineral deposits, and their metallic resources can be sold for profit."

"Though not as valuable as those on Trial Planets, when accumulated in large quantities, they still generate substantial income."

"Many warriors are now gradually heading to Solar System planets to establish bases and mine resources."

Li Qing added:

"Although our Milky Way is a forgotten star system with low source energy concentration, it's rich in mineral resources."

"Now, our Blue Planet is wealthy—we've earned a fortune by developing resources on Trial Planets and other celestial bodies."

"We've even repaid all our debts to the Deep Space Academy!"

"Much of the revenue from mining has been given to the Federation to fund infrastructure and improve the welfare of planetary citizens."

"Today, everyone's quality of life is steadily improving."

Hearing this, Lin Qi nodded inwardly—his Blue Planet was now in a period of rapid development.

With the Trial Planet as a treasure trove, Blue Planet is destined to become utterly prosperous.

With more money, we can purchase more cultivation resources and enhance our strength.

But beyond the Trial Planet, we can also develop other planets in the Solar System.

Fortunately, the Moon and Mars both have decent mineral deposits.

Though not valuable metals, their sheer quantity across multiple undeveloped planets adds up significantly.

Other civilizations must be envious.

At this moment, Second Senior Sister Wang Wang Zhixuan spoke up:

"But now, many people from other civilizations are choosing to immigrate to our Blue Planet."

"And the number increases every year."

"Most are from the lower classes of other civilizations, believing our Blue Planet civilization has greater potential."

"The numbers grow year after year."

"In the past, our Blue Planet suffered from population shortages, so we imposed few restrictions."

"But in recent years, the influx has surged—just look at how many foreign students are now at Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda."

"There are many from other civilizations, even exchange students from the Liurong Civilization."

"Due to the overwhelming number of immigrants, we've reinstated strict restrictions."

"Only those who make significant contributions can immigrate to our Blue Planet."

Lin Qi nodded—this development was inevitable.

He wasn't deeply familiar with these matters—he wasn't a specialist.

He could only observe changes through conversations and daily life.

All he could do was strengthen himself, becoming ever more powerful.

That way, if any enemy ever tried to oppress Blue Planet, he could protect it.

Currently, no one openly dares to provoke Blue Planet.

He and his companions had joined the Supreme Powers—they were now utterly different from ordinary people.

……

For the next period, Lin Qi stayed at Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda and held another lecture, attended by every single student on campus!

Even the geniuses from the Cangqiong Academy on the Trial Planet came.

Nearly a thousand geniuses attended!

The only regret was the absence of Galactic-level geniuses.

Galactic-level geniuses are simply too rare.

As for Stellar-Domain-level geniuses, they were out of the question!

Even Blue Planet currently has only two.

Although Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda wasn't as frenzied as his high school days, it was still incredibly lively.

Many of Lin Qi's classmates also came—friends like Wan Ming, Yu Yu Zhuoran, Li Zhou, Chen Chen Zichuan, and others.

Now, they each had their own lives and careers.

For example, Chen Chen Zichuan, who came from Tianhai No. 2 High School with Lin Qi, trained relentlessly just to barely get into Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda.

But he kept pushing himself hard.

Later, through his own efforts, he bought a Awakening Serum and successfully awakened his ability.

Now he's an 8th-stage warrior, still fighting Catastrophe Beasts at the war base.

But some classmates had been killed—quite a few of them.

They were slain by Level-10 monsters during exploration missions on Trial Planets.

This deeply moved Lin Qi.

He spent a full month at Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda, meeting with every leader and friend.

He also guided his junior classmates, broadening their horizons.

Only then did he depart.

A year passed in the blink of an eye!

In the Tai Chu World, at Tianhai Residence.

On the spacious training ground, three figures clashed continuously.

Three great spears collided amid swirling spear shadows, with golden and thunderous laws swirling through the air!

"Clang! Clang!!"

Dressed in a black robe, Lin Qi swung a black great spear, his body surrounded by golden and thunderous laws.

Facing attacks from Lin Xiao and Lin Zhaoyue, he deflected them effortlessly with his spear.

"Excellent, excellent!!"

"Faster—faster still!"

"Apply the laws more deeply!"

"The Golden Law must charge forward unrelentingly, piercing through all obstacles—believe your spear can pierce anything!"

"The Thunder Law is raw, explosive power—release it fully, aligning your mindset with the law's fury!"

"Boom! Boom!!"

Both spears struck simultaneously, unleashing explosive golden and thunderous power!

Lin Qi raised his spear to meet the assault.

"Boom!!"

In the violent collision, the law energies erupted into shockwaves spreading outward.

"Boom! Boom!!"

Under the overwhelming force, Lin Xiao and Lin Zhaoyue were flung away like kites with severed strings.

"Puff! Puff!!"

Blood sprayed from their mouths; they crashed to the ground, their bodies shattering instantly into nothingness.

Moments later, they reappeared.

Lin Xiao waved his hand and shook his head: "Enough, enough!"

"Brother, you're too strong!"

"Neither I nor Zhao Yue can match you!"

"I thought mastering the force of Dao would at least narrow the gap significantly!"

"Yet the gap remains just as vast as ever!"

"Only now do I realize how narrow my perspective has been."

Lin Zhao Yue also nodded and said:

"The gap is too huge!"

"But we were able to comprehend the force of Dao thanks entirely to your guidance, Brother!"

I feel your explanations are far superior to those of our teachers on Lieryang Star!

"Especially your insights into the Dao!"

Lin Qi smiled: "It's not that my knowledge is better—it's because my vantage point is higher. Standing on the shoulders of giants, I see more than others."

"The Tai Chu Sacred Land is the foremost human faction, with profound research into martial arts and the force of Dao!"
