Chapter 320: Entering the Dream - Human Pioneer
The freshmen compet.i.tion lasted for a total of three days.
However, the next two days were no longer meaningful to Combat Cla.s.s Three and Feng Qi.
They had already won the championship.
The other two days were a ranking battle between the other partic.i.p.ating cla.s.ses. It had nothing to do with them.
However, Feng Qi paid attention to the following matches.
Lu Yue’s brilliance overshadowed everyone on the first day but in the next two days, there were also freshmen who performed extremely well. They were all the focus of Feng Qi’s attention.
The compet.i.tion ended on the third day. After the rankings of the partic.i.p.ating cla.s.ses were announced, the award ceremony was held.
Feng Qi and the students of Combat Cla.s.s Three ascended the podium and obtained the championship medal of this year’s freshmen compet.i.tion from the princ.i.p.al of Victory Academy, adding a touch of color to their resume.
Then, it was time for the photo session.
They took photos with the princ.i.p.al and the other partic.i.p.ating cla.s.ses… and were busy for a long time before they had time to rest.
When the award ceremony ended, a new round of trouble quickly came.
Lu Yue was surrounded by the commanders of the various domain combat teams again. They warmly invited him to join the domain combat team, even though he had rejected them previously.
The situation was the same this time.
Faced with the invitations, Lu Yue was clearly very cold.
He rejected all the domain combat teams that offered olive branches, including Qin Shikong’s direct invitation.
In the end, the commanders of the various large combat teams left regretfully.
When Feng Qi returned to his room, he received a congratulatory call from Bai Fusheng.
From the phone call, he could tell that Bai Fusheng was very happy. He also chatted happily with Bai Fusheng for a long time.
He was always grateful towards him.
It had always been him who had sacrificed for him. Now, he had finally done something to bring glory to the academy.
After hanging up, Feng Qi washed up and lay on the bed.
Deep in his thoughts, sleepiness washed over him and he gradually fell asleep.
The next day, when he woke up, he first called Lin Ran and the others one by one and then began to pack his luggage.
A moment later, he wheeled his luggage out of the room.
On the road in front of the dormitory building, there were already several buses waiting.
As he waited, Lin Ran and the others arrived one after another.
After doing a head-count, he led everyone to one of the bus with the label “Star City Academy” and began to board it.
A moment later, the bus drove out of Victory Academy.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Feng Qi was deep in thought.
Apart from winning the championship of the freshmen compet.i.tion and obtaining a big amount of prize money, there were also other important gains from this trip to the Victory Academy.
First, he had interacted with Qin Shikong and gained a preliminary understanding of him.
In particular, he was very curious about the second divination reading he had done. He planned to learn more about it in the next future timeline.
Next were the outstanding freshmen in the partic.i.p.ating cla.s.ses.
They were also good seedlings worth nurturing. If he needed to establish a faction alone in the future, they were all reference targets to be roped in.
Of course, the prerequisite was that they were trustworthy.
Intelligence regarding the Victory Academy was limited. Since there were spies in Star City Academy, there might be some here too.
Before he figured out the details, he would not act rashly.
After a few hours of traveling, the bus drove into a special pa.s.sageway and then turned into the special airport.
After boarding the plane and waiting for about an hour, the other partic.i.p.ating cla.s.ses from Star City Academy also arrived.
Feng Qi smiled humbly when he received congratulations from the two other teachers.
It could be seen that these two teachers were very happy that his cla.s.s could win the championship.
In Star City Academy, they might be compet.i.tors, but outside, they represented the face of academy.
The honor of winning the championship for Combat Cla.s.s Three also belonged to them.
A moment later, the plane took off.
Through the window, Victory City gradually shrank until it was covered by clouds.
This journey came to an end.
History had also added a few more colors to his evaluation.
Back at Star City Academy, Feng Qi saw the banner pasted at the school gate.
“Welcome back, champions!”
After pa.s.sing the security check, the bus drove into the academy and finally stopped in front of the dormitory building.
After alighting, Feng Qi bade farewell to Lin Ran and the others and returned to the dormitory to put down his luggage.
Then, he left the dormitory and went to the princ.i.p.al’s office to look for Bai Fusheng. After a report, he returned to the dormitory.
The effects of the overlapping memories had mostly subsided now.
He planned to enter the future dream again.
This time, the goals of the future timeline were clear. There were two problems that needed to be resolved.
First, understand the truth behind the Dawn Army’s ma.s.sacre.
Secondly, to get in touch with Mu Yao and learn the secrets related to her.
After clarifying the purpose of his trip, he went to the fridge and took out the ingredients to brew the Mind Cleansing Wine.
Next, he brewed the wine according to the procedures.
He was already familiar with these steps, but he was still very careful during the brewing process to ensure that no low-level mistakes would cause financial losses.
The brewing process this time was very smooth.
A few hours later, the gla.s.s bottle beside the instrument was filled with blue liquid.
After tidying up and washing the equipment carefully, Feng Qi sat down at the sofa with the gla.s.s bottle. Then, he unscrewed the lid and drank a third of it.
The medicinal effect took effect.
When he summoned the attributes panel, he could see the energy progress bar begin to increase rapidly.
A moment later, Feng Qi, who was lying on the sofa, gradually looked peaceful…
The moment he woke up, a strong sense of weakness surged into his heart.
It was as if he had been soaking in water for a long time and suddenly felt the heaviness of his body when he came ash.o.r.e.
“Narrator?”
The narrator did not answer his call.
After failing to switch to his combat body, he was clear about one thing. A new timeline had been generated.
He was a warrior in this timeline.
He sat on the sofa in silence for a long time. A hint of determination appeared in his eyes.
He came to the desk and began to plan his future life in detail.
Everything was based on the information provided by his other self.
The main direction of this timeline was to join the Dawn Army, so he could not affect the formation of the Dawn Army, let alone Mu Qing’s future development.
At the same time, his strength had greatly decreased. He needed to make a trip to the Scarlet Research Inst.i.tute to strengthen himself…
As he wrote, he made detailed plans for his future.
When the planning was complete, he pulled out his cell phone and dialed the monk’s number.
A moment later, the call went through. The monk’s slightly surprised voice sounded.
“Brother Qi, what’s the matter?”
“Where are you now?”
“In my room.”
“I’m coming over now. 1 have something to talk to you about.”
“Oh… alright.”
After hanging up, Feng Qi stood up and left the room.
After walking out of his dormitory building, he walked in the direction of dormitory building 3 where the monk’s room was.
A moment later he reached the monk’s door and knocked.
Footsteps approached quickly, and then the door was opened.
“Brother Qi, come in.”
Feng Qi did not hesitate and immediately followed the monk into the room.
Just as he had expected, the room was very messy. The items were placed haphazardly, and there were a few pairs of slippers of different colors on the ground.
He came to the sofa and sat down.
At this moment, the monk scratched his shiny head under the light and looked at him curiously.
“Brother Qi, why are you looking for me?”
“Monk, are you still planning to continue pretending with me?”
“Pretending?” The monk was stunned and looked confused.
“You from the Prajna Domain Combat Team have always shown outsiders the side of you lazing around and waiting for death. It’s probably be very tiring to pretend to be like this every day, right?” Feng Qi asked with a smile.
“Brother Qi, I’m from the Jinxian Temple. Isn’t the information about the Prajna domain combat team public? You should have already obtained my information when you came to teach. Why are you suddenly saying that I’m pretending?” The monk said with a puzzled expression.
Seeing that the monk still refused to admit it, Feng Qi could not help but grin. He wanted to see how long the monk could keep this up.
If not for the memory of the previous future timeline, he would never have thought that the monk was actually a fellow companion lurking in the dark.
Looking at the monk, Feng Qi pondered for a moment and said,
“We’re all in this together. We’re all working towards the same goal.”
“You like temptations, too?” the monk asked curiously.

Looking at the monk, Feng Qi realized that he could not get the monk to reveal the truth to him easily.
The monk’s disguise was not shed even when he chose to expose his secret.
From this, it could be seen how much the monk valued himself and the secrets behind him.
And the hidden information was exactly what Feng Qi wanted to know.
But with the monk, he would not force anything.
Next, he told the monk his secret of his many transmigrations of the timelines, including the encounter before his execution.
“When I asked you why you were hiding all this time, you told me… you didn’t ask either.”
Hearing Feng Qi’s explanation, the monk’s expression finally changed.
But just as Feng Qi thought that there was a turning point, the monk suddenly smiled foolishly.
“Brother Qi, your story is really interesting.”
Feng Qi took a deep look at the monk. He knew that the monk must have some misgivings and was skeptical of what he said.
After all, what he said was about the future that had yet to happen.
Perhaps the previous timelines were the same. Even after learning such a shocking truth, the monk did not choose to believe him easily.
From this, he suddenly understood why the monk would come to send him off every time before his execution.
At that time, there was sadness and realization on his face.
Perhaps the monk only believed him at that point and knew that he had never deceived him.
(PS: There are several chapters on the relevant content. The first is Chapter
57.)
Looking at the monk, Feng Qi took a deep breath and said,
“Monk, I’ve never lied to you. If you’re willing to tell me the truth one day in the future, you can contact me at any time.”
With that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
At this moment, the smile on the monk’s face disappeared. He suddenly sighed.
“Brother Qi, can you answer a few questions for me first?”
When Feng Qi heard that, he sat down again and nodded.
“Ask away.”
“You’ve transmigrated time and time again, trying to save human civilization, which is destined to perish… Is it worth it?”
“It’s worth it.” Feng Qi nodded.
“Give me a more detailed a.n.a.lysis,” the monk pressed.
Feng Qi was silent for a long time in the face of the question.
There were many ways to answer this question.
However, there was only one answer in his heart.
At this thought, a smile appeared on his face. He looked at the monk and said,
“My teacher once taught me that even if we humans are as insignificant as ants in the face of a domain catastrophe, there will still be people among us who will stand up and look up at the starry sky in search of a chance of survival in the future. It’s precisely because of these people that our civilization can be continued.”
“Now that the time has come, it’s time for someone to step forward and open up a new path for our civilization to continue, so… why can’t that person be me?”
Looking at the determination in Feng Qi’s eyes, the monk’s eyes flickered. He was infected.
Just as Feng Qi had said,
throughout history, there were always people who stood up and looked up at the starry sky.
Even if we are as lowly as ants, we will choose to resist and fight for a chance of survival.
Taking a deep breath, the monk calmed himself down and said,
Brother Qi, I’ve always thought that you were a peerless genius. Now, I realize that I was wrong. As a trailblazer, you can be considered a pioneer of the human race.”
Hearing this, Feng Qi smiled and waved his hand.
“That’s not important. Have you decided to tell me the truth now?”
At this moment, the monk, who had been unwilling to admit it, finally nodded..
