Waking up 300 years in the future, the world had completely transformed. Mechas and starships filled the skies, while supreme experts soared through the heavens and tunneled through the earth, capable of leveling mountains and overturning seas with a mere flick of their wrists. There was nothing they couldn't do. Facing this world that was both unfamiliar and familiar, Vuong Minh—a genuine antique from the past—progressed from initial shock and anxiety to curiosity, and ultimately, overwhelming excitement. A burning desire for eternal life and the ambition to become a powerful martial artist surged deep within his soul. He intended to inherit his predecessor's dying wish: to pass the entrance exam for one of the Top Ten Academies and gain access to the finest resources this world had to offer. However, when he glanced at his predecessor's 12th-grade coursework: Quantum structure? Peripheral neural transmission? General principles of mecha torque? Vuong Minh's soaring enthusiasm instantly flatlined. Brother, forgive my arrogant youth for knowing neither the immensity of heaven nor the depth of earth. Please allow this older brother to take back his initial promise.
