NOVEL NEXT Chapter 322
Chapter 322
Lu Sheng was really surprised this time.
“The military stepped in to mediate? Why? ”
“Why? Why don’t you know?”
Yu Feiyi laughed. “How old are you, kid? You’ve already killed a dozen Masters. There is also Tong Kui, one of the 28 constellations of the Extreme Dao Martial … Boy, please don’t keep the slap I gave you before in mind …”
Lu Sheng couldn’t help but laugh.
He still preferred to deal with people from the military like Yu Feiyi.
He spoke straightforwardly without any scheming, forthright and magnanimous.
“Did the news spread so fast? Even the military knows about it?”
“What kind of news can be hidden from the eyes and ears of the military?”
Yu Feiyi said casually. Then he lowered his voice and asked Lu Sheng mysteriously, “Kid Lu, tell me honestly … Did the Tong Kui you killed break through Level 8?”
Lu Sheng was silent for a moment, then answered honestly, “Yes, but he wasn’t a proper Level 8. He used the forbidden technique of the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy to forcefully reach Level 8.”
“Sigh … sigh …”
Yu Feiyi on the other end of the phone sighed a few times, but he couldn’t say a word.
Lu Sheng knew how big of a blow Yu Feiyi had received, but he couldn’t find suitable words to comfort him, so he could only choose to change the topic.
“Senior, the military must have paid a heavy price to make the Extreme Dao Martial Sage compromise, right?”
Yu Feiyi calmed down and replied, “There was definitely a price, but it wasn’t as big as you think. To be able to become a Martial Sage you’ll have to have a mindset that is far beyond that of ordinary people. Also, don’t feel too pressured and feel that you owe the military something. Every year, the military takes in a lot of people like you …”
Yu Feiyi paused, then slowly said, “Now, the Dragon Nation has three Martial Sages, and none of them are from the military …”
“Lu Sheng, do you understand what I mean?”
Lu Sheng suddenly understood.
Yu Feiyi was blatant about his intentions.
The military … they really needed a Martial Sage-level expert to back them.
So much so that their desire for any good seedling with the hope of becoming a Martial Sage far exceeded that of other forces, and they did everything possible to recruit them. No matter what price they had to pay, they only wanted to cultivate a top-level powerhouse who could truly stand up for the military.
“Understood.”
Lu Sheng nodded.
Yu Feiyi continued, “I told you not to feel pressured, but you shouldn’t be too relaxed, either. The ability you’ve shown so far is valued by many big shots. Even if you’re not the most important one, you’re definitely one of the top few. Work hard, Lu Sheng. The more outstanding you are, the more resources you’ll get …”
“Don’t worry, Senior.”
Lu Sheng said seriously, “When I become a Martial Sage in the future, I’ll definitely promote you well.”
“You fucking … cough cough cough …”
On the other end of the phone, Yu Feiyi choked and coughed violently.
Lu Sheng smiled, chatted with Yu Feiyi for a bit longer, and then hung up.
He threw the phone aside.
At this moment, Lu Sheng was truly relaxed.
“It’s an ideal ending, much better than what I had expected …”
Lu Sheng leaned back on the chair and looked at the clear sky outside the window. He felt a sense of relief.
Joining the military had always been Lu Sheng’s calling. He had made up his mind to go to the front lines. So he had never been afraid of owing Yu Feiyi a favor. Yu Feiyi was the same. The more favors he owed; the more relieved Yu Feiyi would feel.
“After this incident at the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy, the military will probably fully embrace me as one of their own.”
Lu Sheng didn’t mind that at all. Instead, he was looking forward to his upcoming career on the battlefield.
“Yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned if it is not broken* … This is the romance of a real man …”

Lu Sheng sighed.
Turning around, he saw a piece of paper, filled with writing, on the table in front of him.
It was the one he got from Zhuang Kui.
Lu Sheng roughly skimmed through it. It introduced a secret method to open up the Heaven and Earth Bridges.
It was almost useless to him.
“This kind of method, a casual search would result in hundreds or thousands of them in the Dream World Photon Mind.”
Lu Sheng shook his head, crumpled the paper into a pile of black ash, and scattered it into the trash can at his feet.
After doing all this, Lu Sheng suddenly felt exhaustion wash over him like a tidal wave. Although he still had plenty of Spiritual Power left. But after ten days and nights of high stress, and killing people along the way, Lu Sheng couldn’t hold on any longer.
As soon as he relaxed, he immediately felt sleepy.
Lu Sheng walked to the side of the bed and lay down heavily with his arms and legs spread out.
“Just in time, I’ll go to the Dream World to see what I got …”
After a breath.
The sound of snoring could be heard coming out of his room.
The Dream Space.
Lu Sheng stood at the intersection of several streets.
The ground seemed to have been trampled by a giant beast, and there were still traces of his last battle.
“I haven’t been here for a long time.” Lu Sheng looked around and couldn’t help but sigh.
Now, he felt as touched as when he went into seclusion at home for a month right before the middle school exams, and then returned to the Internet cafe.
Even looking at the zombies wandering around, he felt a sense of familiarity.
“No fighting today! Everyone can take a day off!”
Lu Sheng stood on the empty street and shouted at the zombies wandering in the distance. A few zombies were attracted by his voice, and slowly turned their heads and looked at him speechlessly.
“As usual, let’s look at personal data first …”
Lu Sheng found the Optic Mind he hid in a corner, and sat cross-legged on the ground. Then he turned it on and pulled up his personal data.
“Retrieving data …”
The next second, a new set of data appeared in front of Lu Sheng.
With just a glance, Lu Sheng knew what to expect.
His data had most likely undergone a major change.
The picture on his personal data had changed, and now it was the image of an old man in his fifties with gray hair.
His appearance was thin, and his handsome features could be seen. His deep eyes seemed to contain a lot of wisdom.

[Gender: Male]

[Martial Arts Strength: Super Level 9 Martial Artist]
Lu Sheng was slightly happy when he saw his lifespan.
He had lived for more than three hundred years, which was definitely the longest ever.
Then he looked down and was stunned when he saw the strength of “Super Level 9 Martial Artist”.
“Either Level 9 or Quasi Level 10. What does “Super Level 9” mean?”
Lu Sheng only understood when he read to the end.
