Inside Room 16 of the Sky Palace.

Shen Xiyue smiled and quietly watched Mo Tianyun, who was fast asleep.

Time passed second by second, and Shen Xiyue watched Mo Tianyun for as long as he slept.

These days, the two have lived a peaceful and tranquil life.

Every time Mo Tianyun rested, Shen Xiyue would stay by his side and watch him like this.

After an unknown amount of time, Mo Tianyun slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a perfect, ethereal face.

It's truly astonishing; how could there be such a perfect goddess in this world?

Shen Xiyue's eyes shone like stars, and in her glances, she possessed a refined and elegant quality that captivated me, making me feel ashamed and unworthy to profane her. Yet, her aloof and lively eyes held a captivating allure, making me unable to help but be mesmerized.

With her delicate features and charming smile, Mo Tianyun was always deeply attracted to her, no matter how many times he saw her.

Each time Mo Tianyun attempted to create a perfect legendary combat mech in the simulation space, he would fall into a sleep due to exhaustion of his mental energy.

But every time he woke up, all he saw was Shen Xiyue.

It feels so good to see my beloved "person" beside me every time I wake up!

"Silly Tianyun, get up quickly! I know I'm good-looking, but stop staring at me like that!"

Shen Xiyue stretched out her jade-like hands and gently nudged Mo Tianyun, who was lying on the bed.

"Okay, I'll get up right away!"

As Mo Tianyun spoke, he turned to the side to get up. Suddenly, he pulled Shen Xiyue into his arms, dragged her down onto the bed, and held her tightly in his arms again.

Now, the human and the spirit were pressed tightly together. Mo Tianyun's lust was aroused, and he kept kissing Shen Xiyue. At first, she resisted slightly, but then she slowly became immersed in it, pretending to refuse and welcoming, and finally she became bold and proactive.

In the past two months, Mo Tianyun and Shen Xiyue have done everything they were supposed to do, except for the final step.

Although Mo Tianyun no longer cared that Shen Xiyue was not a real human, he still felt some regret.

Knock knock!

Suddenly, a series of urgent knocks sounded at the door, each one striking a nerve, as if they were having an affair. Mo Tianyun and Shen Xiyue quickly separated.

Mo Tianyun straightened his clothes as he went to open the door.

Shen Xiyue was also standing beside her, her cheeks slightly flushed, she was incredibly shy.

As Mo Tianyun opened the door, he saw a familiar person standing outside, a familiar old man.

"The trainees eagerly await the arrival of the Prefect. We were unaware that you were coming, otherwise we would have personally greeted you."

Mo Tianyun said respectfully.

"Well, Mo Tianyun, how have you been at the academy? How's the environment here? Are you adjusting well?"

The manor lord greeted Mo Tianyun warmly.

His solicitous manner, making him seem like an ordinary old man, almost made Mo Tianyun forget that he was an imperial elder!

"Reporting to the Lord, the academy is a sacred place for mecha pilots to further their studies. It has all the necessary facilities and abundant resources. It is already a great honor to be able to study here. How could I possibly feel uncomfortable?"

Mo Tianyun replied.

"Yes, if you need anything, just say the word! The academy will do its best to meet your needs." The academy master continued, "Your teacher, Elder Darren Jonah, is about to return. He is expected to arrive in an hour. Please come with me to greet him."

"The teacher is back!"

Mo Tianyun said with some surprise.

"Yes, Elder Darren Jonah has finished dealing with the negotiations with the Northern Lippold Federation and has rushed back for your sake, his disciple."

"To be honest, I've been at the academy for over two months and I've never met the teacher. I wonder if there are any rules that I need to follow?"

Mo Tianyun asked the manor lord.

As a disciple of Elder Darren Jonah, his status was naturally higher than that of ordinary people, and even the Grand Marshal of the Empire treated him with great respect.

Of course, one can speak with an elder.

"Elder Darren Jonah is a rather aloof person. As far as I know, he dotes on his disciples, even treating them like his own children. Because of this, he also has another side to his disciples, which is that he is exceptionally strict!"

“Niles Lak and Corey were trained by him back then, which is why they grew so quickly. As for his training methods…” At this point, the Lord of the Manor looked at Mo Tianyun with a half-smile, “You’ll find out soon enough!”

Looking at the lord's expression, Mo Tianyun had a bad feeling.

The old man's smile is so cunning. Could it be that my teacher, Elder Darren Jonah, will use very strict training methods?

A spatial rift, large enough to accommodate a person, suddenly appeared above the Oron Genius Mecha Master Academy.

Then, a man dressed in simple black clothes and carrying a large sword emerged from the spatial rift.

This person looks very cold and stern at first glance, and doesn't smile much. He seems quite ordinary, but his eyes are like black holes, as if they can swallow up light.

He stood quietly high in the sky, looking down at each of the trainees below, and the next second, he disappeared into the air.

On the Imperial home planet, free flight is prohibited. Ordinary people probably can't even fly here, especially since this is above the Oron Genius Mecha Master Academy, which is defended by spatial blockades, energy barriers, and other defensive measures. Even marshal-level powerhouses cannot break through these defenses.

But the man disregarded these defensive measures, not only flying through them but also easily tearing through space.

Clearly, this man was Elder Darren Jonah, Mo Tianyun's teacher.

Elder Darren Jonah may not look old, but he is actually over three thousand years old!

However, Elder Darren Jonah is still far younger than the head of the Oron Genius Mech Academy, Larenx Tevia.

However, a mecha pilot's status is determined by his abilities. No matter how old the lord is, he still has to act with utmost respect.

Mo Tianyun's teacher, Elder Darren Jonah, is the leader of the pro-war faction, while the Lord of the Prefecture, Larenx Tavia, belongs to the neutral faction.

Because they are neutral, they do not favor anyone. Within the academy, the headmaster does not favor anyone, and each student speaks based on their talent and ability.

Although Mo Tianyun received unprecedented treatment as a seeded elder-level expert, he was the number one on the entire ranking list, which was unprecedented for him. It was only natural that he deserved this treatment based on his talent!

"They're here!"

The manor lord quickly gestured to Mo Tianyun.

The next instant, Elder Darren Jonah appeared before the two of them.

"Disciple Mo Tianyun greets Master!"

Mo Tianyun hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Grand Elder!"

"Senior Tevia, there's no need for such formalities!"

The manor lord was about to perform the ceremony when he was stopped by Elder Darren Jonah, Mo Tianyun's teacher.

Immediately, Elder Darren Jonah glanced at Mo Tianyun.

Mo Tianyun felt a powerful spiritual force sweep over his body.

"very good."

"From now on, you will follow me in cultivation. I will set you free when you pass my test!"

Elder Darren Jonah said.

"May I ask, teacher, what is this assessment?"

Mo Tianyun asked.

We'll talk about it later.

Elder Darren Jonah spoke calmly, his face expressionless.

And so, Mo Tianyun began his cultivation under the guidance of Elder Darren Jonah.

Within an extremely vast virtual world.

"You use a sword too?"

Standing on the vast grasslands of the virtual world, Elder Darren Jonah took down the greatsword from behind him.

The greatsword emitted a white light, like bursts of cold light piercing through Mo Tianyun's body.

"Teacher's greatsword looks very sharp, but I can't tell what material it's made of!"

Mo Tianyun said.

"Icy Cold Gold!"

Elder Darren Jonah's expression changed slightly, as if he had remembered something.

"Where's your sword? You're not going to fight me empty-handed, are you?"

Elder Darren Jonah scrutinized Mo Tianyun.

"Thousands of Starlight Swords!"

With a single thought, Mo Tianyun conjured a starlight sword from his spiritual energy in his hand.

"A genetically evolved martial artist who wields a sword, yet doesn't even own a sword of his own. To be honest, I'm somewhat disappointed in you!"

Elder Darren Jonah frowned slightly, his expression turning somewhat cold.

When he was very young, he especially liked swords and sword-fighting martial arts techniques.

Back then, the Zerg had not yet appeared, and the Empire's population and the number of planets inhabited by humans were far fewer than they are now. Although he was born into a commoner family, he was still able to receive the Empire's support at that time.

Throughout his life, he was most obsessed with swords. He had his own swordsmanship that was passed down throughout the empire, and that was the "Star and Moon Sword Technique".

This is a sword technique he created while stranded on a desolate planet hundreds of thousands of light-years away. Since creating this set of martial arts techniques called "Star Moon Sword Technique," he has gained a deeper understanding of sword-based martial arts techniques.

Since then, his mental strength has broken through and his martial arts skills have become more and more profound. Gradually, he has grown from a superhuman combat mech pilot to an epic combat pilot, and then from an epic combat mech pilot to a legendary combat mech pilot.

Over the next two thousand years, his strength continued to increase, advancing step by step.

Afterwards, the Zerg appeared, and Elder Darren Jonah continuously killed Zerg, even slaying a high-ranking Zerg King, accumulating enough achievements before becoming the Empire's Elder.

Elder Darren Jonah's life was one of triumphs, rising from a commoner to become an Imperial Elder and a legendary figure.

He was also hailed as the last hope for ordinary people.

"Come on, let me see how good your swordsmanship is!"

Elder Darren Jonah calmly held his greatsword, without even adding any mental energy to it.

"Okay, teacher!"

Mo Tianyun gripped the Starlight Sword and charged toward Elder Darren Jonah, simultaneously unleashing the Star Moon Sword Technique at its peak.

"Star Moon Sword Technique?! And the Star Moon Sword Technique at its perfect state?!"

Elder Darren Jonah's cold, dark eyes suddenly flashed with a light like a spark.

At this moment, Mo Tianyun had already rushed over to Elder Daren Jonah, and the Starlight Sword in his hand slashed down like lightning.

Elder Darren Jonah flashed forward, his sword thrusting out instantly, so fast that Mo Tianyun couldn't even see it!

bite!

Mo Tianyun's Starlight Sword was knocked away, turning into a starlight phantom in the air before dissipating.

"Your swordsmanship is powerful, but your technique is too crude!"

Elder Darren Jonah slowly sheathed the greatsword in his hand.
