I Am Not The Machine King

"Are you serious?"

Wu Di gawked at Lin Yuan. Based on his understanding of Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan's expression did not seem like he was joking.

Lin Yuan smiled. "I'm serious."

Wu Di spread his hands in confusion.

"Why?"

Tianshui Military Academy had the highest mortality rate among all the martial arts academies.

Moreover, the requirements for a military academy were not low. Good results were required for both liberal arts and martial arts.

Upon hearing Wu Di's words, Lin Yuan extended three fingers.

"Three reasons."

"The first reason is resources."

As soon as the word "resources" was mentioned, Wu Di was stunned on the spot. It was obvious that he had figured out some of the reasons.

Tianshui Military Academy was established by the National Military Ministry of Tianshui Kingdom.

Initially, the recruitment was conducted within the martial arts academies.

Decades ago, it directly evolved into a military academy. It recruited middle school students around the age of 18 to expand the national military force, and train warriors.

Most importantly, the state provided resources to train them. It was different from top-notch martial arts academies.

Even if a martial artist from an average family entered a top-notch martial arts academy, if he did not have top-notch talent, he might be drowned in the competition for geniuses because of the scarcity of resources.

Therefore, the military academy was a very normal choice for Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan stretched out his second finger and said, "Second, my mechanical-type spirit seed."

"I've already checked. Only Tianshui Military Academy has a strong mechanical-type expert."

Wu Di was even more silent.

This was indeed a very real factor.

Lin Yuan's mechanical-type spirit seed was really too rare.

At least, he had never heard of any expert from those martial arts academies who was a mechanical-type martial artist.

Without the guidance of a teacher of the spirit seed, Lin Yuan's future development was quite limited.

"Third."

Lin Yuan stretched out his third finger and shrugged.

"I want to go!"

At this moment, Wu Di suddenly felt that Lin Yuan's body seemed to be emitting a radiance.

Every citizen of the Tianshui Kingdom was full of respect for the soldiers on the frontlines.

It was because of their silent dedication and selfless action that the days of the Tianshui Kingdom were peaceful.

"Is this Lin Yuan's ideal?"

"Lin Yuan has been training hard to protect the families and defend the country?"

...

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Yuan looked at Wu Di, whose eyes were slightly red, and waved his hand in front of him.

He didn't know what this guy was thinking.

Lin Yuan had the idea of enrolling in a military academy a long time ago.

When he was terminally ill, his mother often told him stories about his father in the military camp when she took care of him in front of the hospital bed.

Occasionally, his father's comrades would come to visit him.

The special friendship between comrades was something that Lin Yuan yearned for very much at that time.

Even if there was no such thing as a mechanical-type spirit seed, there was a high chance that Lin Yuan would still choose the military academy.

"Ah..."

Wu Di came back to his senses and asked, "Are you sure?"

Lin Yuan nodded. "Yes."

Wu Di sat down on Lin Yuan's bed and facepalmed.

"F*ck..."

There was too much information on that day.

First, he was shocked when he found out that Lin Yuan had a rare mechanical-type spirit seed.

Then, he was shocked when he found out that Lin Yuan wanted to apply for admission to a military academy.

He needed time to digest this.

However, it was indeed a common choice for a commoner to be admitted to a military academy.

After Lin Yuan moved out of his home, he had much less contact with his family.

The relationship between them was already relatively weak, but it was even weaker during this period. They did not even send each other messages.

Therefore, even if his father did not agree, it would not affect Lin Yuan.

"Why don't we go together?"

Lin Yuan sat in front of the computer table and invited Wu Di with a smile.

Wu Di immediately said with a righteous tone, "Brother Yuan, I really want to go to the military academy with you."

"But you know how much my father loves his son. He will definitely not agree."

"What a pity."

Lin Yuan looked at Wu Di's regretful look and was indeed a little amused. He chuckled and said, "That may not be the case."

"I think Uncle Wu really wants to throw you into the military camp."

Just now, Wu Di did have the thought of entering the military academy but it was forcefully extinguished in an instant.

The training intensity in the military camp was definitely much more terrifying than the martial arts academy.

Wu Di shook his head like a rattle-drum.

"No, no, no, no..."

"My dad really loves me."

At this point, Wu Di immediately got up and left.

Lin Yuan was really good at brainwashing!

Every time Wu Di slacked off on his training, Lin Yuan would crazily give him chicken soup.

He was afraid that if they continued chatting, his blood would boil in just a few words. Wu Di had to nip this idea in the bud.

...

"Ha..."

Seeing Wu Di leave, Lin Yuan chuckled, picked up his clean clothes, and walked to the bathroom.

He did not really want to take Wu Di to the military academy.

The military academy respected one's will. After all, studying in the military academy was not absolutely safe.

If something happened to Wu Di, Lin Yuan would not be able to bear the responsibility. He would not know how to face Uncle Wu.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The cold water continuously washed over Lin Yuan's strong body. Lin Yuan was also thinking about his plan for the next half a year.

"If I can break through ten meridians, I should be able to enter the military academy."

A level two martial artist was also known as the "Meridian Opening Realm." The total amount of spirit energy was around 11 to 100.

A human body had twelve basic meridians. Only by opening these twelve basic meridians could one be considered to have truly stepped onto the path of cultivation.

The starting point of recruitment for the five top martial arts academies in the Tianshui Kingdom was a level three martial artist, which was also the Body Tempering Realm.

The requirements of the military academy were slightly lower, roughly a level two martial artist with ten meridians.

As long as the performance was not too bad, there should not be too much of a problem. After all, the Tianshui Military Academy recruited a lot of people.

"Unfortunately, my foundation is too poor."

"I don't know if I can make it in time."

Lin Yuan was a little worried himself. He had only opened two of his twelve meridians. His starting point was very low, and his total spirit energy was only a little over forty.

On the path of cultivation, if one wanted to break through, they had to meet two conditions. One was the realm, and the other was the spirit energy.

For example, if one wanted to break through from a level two to a level three martial artist, opening all twelve meridians was necessary.

Another necessary condition was the total amount of spirit energy.

The total amount of spirit energy was measured in units of spirit.

The spirit energy of a level 1 martial artist was from 1 to 10 points; Level 2 martial artist was between 11 and 100 points; Level 3 martial artist was from 101 to 1,000 points, and so on.

In other words, only when all twelve meridians were opened and the total amount of spirit energy exceeded 100 points could Lin Yuan break through.

The stronger the spirit energy, the higher the success rate of breaking through.

Wu Di's current spirit energy was about 140 points, but he had merely opened 11 meridians.

Just like Fang Zixin, they were stuck at the bottleneck of 12 meridians.

Once they broke through the 12th meridian, they would have the qualifications to try to apply for the top five martial arts academies.

However, generally speaking, with Wu Di and Fang Zixin's level, even if they could get into the top five martial arts academies, they would still be at the bottom. After all, they had gathered the most outstanding geniuses from all the provinces and cities in the Tianshui Kingdom.

...

After Lin Yuan took a shower, he dried his hair. When he returned to his room and picked up his phone, he realized that the messages on his phone had already exploded.

The messages in each group were all 99+.
