Elder Darren Jonah tore through space and sent Mo Tianyun back to the Oron Genius Mecha Master Academy.
Nearly a year has passed since Mo Tianyun entered that special virtual world.
There are at most three more years for Mo Tianyun to continue his studies at the Oron Genius Mecha Master Academy.
"Teacher, just drop us off at the school gate!"
"Okay, take out your smart device in a bit."
Soon, Mo Tianyun and Elder Darren Jonah arrived at the gate of the academy.
Elder Darren Jonah quickly added a special communication method to Mo Tianyun's AI.
"This is my communication method. It has the fastest communication speed in the empire. No matter where you are in the Oron Empire, you can connect to my communicator within ten seconds. If you need anything, just let me know."
"Okay, teacher."
After bidding farewell to Elder Darren Jonah, Mo Tianyun entered the academy alone.
"Hey! Look, isn't that Mo Tianyun who hasn't appeared at the academy for almost a year?"
"Holy crap! It really is Mo Tianyun! I never expected that the strongest genius mecha pilot from our Oron Genius Mecha Pilot Academy would be back! This is a big deal, we have to post it on the chat space right away so everyone can see it."
While speaking in extremely sarcastic language, the man pulled out his blue continuing education card.
And with his mental power, he edited lines of text: "The man who was once like a god in our hearts, now the biggest joke in the academy, Mo Tianyun, is back. There are images and the truth!"
The message was then sent to the chat space.
The fact that this person was able to obtain a blue continuing education card suggests that their ranking in the academy is quite high, surpassing 90% of the other continuing education students in their cohort.
"Yes, that's right. Such a big matter needs to be properly communicated to everyone! Although the Lord of the Manor has given orders not to disturb his life in person, it's fine for us to do it this way."
The trainee also took out a blue training card and used his mental power to edit lines of text: "Amazing! After a year, the missing man has returned!"
He also sent a video to the Oron Genius Mecha Pilot Academy's online forum.
These two messages spread at an astonishing speed, from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, making the entire Oron Genius Mecha Pilot Academy aware that Mo Tianyun had returned.
One of these two posts was posted in the chat space.
1st floor: "Wow, so it's that guy who's back!"
2nd floor: "Wuhu take-off! With him here, my grades won't be at the bottom this year!"
...
Floor 66: "It seems the annual assessment is approaching. He's been hiding outside for a year and has finally decided to come back and show his face!"
Floor 88: "I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. This good-for-nothing Mo Tianyun hasn't appeared in our combat mech academy's classrooms for at least a year and a half."
1145th floor: "Don't be too happy yet. He's a genius who only appears once every thousand years. Maybe he's regained his strength when he comes back this time?"
1146th floor: "This makes the person upstairs seem very ignorant. How can the Martial Heart be so easily revived after it has withered? You must know that once the Martial Heart has withered, one must walk a new path of martial arts. Therefore, it often takes more than ten or a hundred years to have even a slight hope of reviving the Martial Heart. Moreover, even if it is revived, the mental strength will not recover to its previous state so quickly!"

Nearly a year later, the scenery of the university remains prosperous and beautiful, and the buildings are as simple and elegant as ever. In particular, the central university hall tower is magnificent and glittering.
Walking step by step, measuring the distance from the university to the gate to the cafeteria with his own feet, Mo Tianyun strolled leisurely, ignoring the strange looks he received from passersby.
This was a leisurely and contented state of mind, different from Mo Tianyun's hurried cultivation in the past, and also completely different from his previous fearful and painful state.
"See? Mo Tianyun is actually walking around the academy, which means his mental strength has not recovered."
"Yes, the university campus is vast. If he walks slowly like this, he wouldn't be able to finish walking it even after several days and nights!"
Walking quietly along the road, Mo Tianyun experienced a different kind of scenery than usual, a feeling he had never experienced before.
This ease, this lack of haste, this naturalness, this sense of relief—all of these brought him a unique experience.
The past tense.
In their eagerness to become stronger, they flew as fast as they could, forgetting the beautiful scenery beneath their feet.
In their eagerness to cultivate, they ate as quickly as possible. Even with food in their mouths, they couldn't appreciate its deliciousness, swallowing it whole while their minds were preoccupied with understanding and applying the knowledge they had just learned.
This fast-paced lifestyle can indeed make people more efficient, but it wears down their patience and prevents them from appreciating the beauty of life.
If you're tired of the race of life, why not stop and rest for a while? Let your weary body recharge before setting off again. Perhaps then you can surpass your relentless pace and even leave others far behind to reach another world.
Therefore, starting today, Mo Tianyun has decided to live a good life.
By the way, you read really fast, skimming through everything. You finished what I typed in a whole day in just one minute. (?????)
"Mmm~~ Jumping over the wall with broth is so delicious, it smells so good!"
"Waiter, could you please bring me another one?"
Mo Tianyun ordered a table full of delicious food at the university cafeteria and enjoyed it immensely.
He wanted to savor everything he had never eaten before, and everything he had eaten but hadn't tasted carefully, to fully enjoy this relaxed and peaceful moment.
This table of delicacies is worth a lot of academic credits. Even students with hundreds of thousands or millions of credits wouldn't be so extravagant as to order so many top-quality dishes at once.
The passing trainees were immediately craving the aroma and their mouths watered.
But when they saw that the person who ordered this table of dishes was none other than Mo Tianyun, who was always in the news, all the trainees were very surprised.
As a result, Mo Tianyun's meal here was uploaded to the online forum.
There was nothing they could do; Mo Tianyun was just like a superstar, so eye-catching.
First floor: "This table of dishes looks so delicious! Snow Beast King Meat, Armor Jumping Over the Wall, Alfalfa Meatballs, First-Class Dragon Armor Meat, Horse Tooth Snow Jar Meat... This is the kind of food I would never dare to dream of normally. This table of dishes would probably require hundreds of thousands of credits!"
Second floor: "No wonder he was once the top student, so arrogant!"
Tenth floor: "You can't waste credits like this! I think he knew he wouldn't use the credits, so he had a good meal and used them up. What a waste of credits! If only I had those tens of thousands of credits, I could have used them to buy a lot of potions and my strength could have improved a lot!"
...
Countless trainees envied, were jealous of, and mocked Mo Tianyun.
