High Martial Arts: Logging 10,000 Years Into The Future - Chapter 185

Chapter 185

“Lu Qinghe!”

“Ah, brother, have a safe trip! Bye bye.”

Lu Qinghe was like a thief who had been caught red-handed. She suddenly raised her head, looking guilty.

“You’d better behave yourself at home. I’ll send someone to keep an eye on you. If I find out that something bad has happened to you, or that your martial arts cultivation has fallen behind …” Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said lightly, “You know the consequences, Lu Qinghe.”

After half a year of actual combat training, Lu Sheng’s warning was still effective.

Lu Qinghe was as obedient as a quail. She lowered her head honestly and said, “Got it, brother.”

Lu Sheng nodded with satisfaction. Then he said goodbye to the family and went through the security check alone. When Lu Sheng’s back was almost out of sight, Lu Qinghe took out her phone and quickly typed.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Sister Yang Yuan, my brother has passed the security check! Get ready!

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • I was so focused on chatting with you that I forgot to talk to my brother. He gave me a good scolding!

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • (crying) You must treat me to dinner when you come back!

Two messages were sent. Soon, a reply came with a ding dong.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Don’t worry, ten big meals won’t be a problem. But Qinghe, remember this is a little secret between us. Don’t tell your brother. (pleading)

Lu Qinghe quickly replied with an OK gesture. Then, as if she had done something big, she smiled and hugged Zheng Yufen’s arm.

“Mom, what kind of girlfriend do you think my brother should find?”

“Yeah, Little Saint is in the university now. It’s time for him to fall in love. Just practicing martial arts every day won’t do.”

“I’ll tell him later to bring a girlfriend back from the capital. If you ask me, it’s better to find a local one.”

“Mom is right, a local one is better!”

“What do you little girl know?”

The family chatted as they walked further and further away.

“You are on flight number F3485 from Baihe City to Jingdu Province. It will take off in two hours. Please pay attention to the airport announcement and board on time.”

The young girl in charge of the security check reminded Lu Sheng, which was not part of her job scope, with a blushing face.

Lu Sheng said thank you, picked up the luggage that had passed the security check, and walked toward the departure lounge.

Not long after, he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

“Lu Sheng?!”

Lu Sheng turned around and saw a girl standing behind him.

She was also carrying a backpack and dragging a small suitcase. Her face was textbook example of someone surprised.

“Yang Yuan.” Lu Sheng blinked and stopped in his tracks. “What a coincidence.”

“Yeah, what a coincidence.” Yang Yuan slipped the phone that she had just used to reply to a text into her pocket without leaving a trace and without giving any hint.

“I didn’t expect you to be going to Jingdu today. Which flight are you on?”

Lu Sheng told her his flight number, and Yang Yuan continued to be “surprised.”

“What a coincidence, we’re actually on the same flight, and our seats are next to each other.”

“Yeah, really, what a coincidence.”

Looking at the flight ticket that Yang Yuan showed him, Lu Sheng was stunned. He did not expect Yang Yuan to be going to Jingdu as well. What was even more unexpected was that Yang Yuan was traveling with him.

Lu Sheng thought of the spousal column in the Fireseed Repository and then looked at the bright and beautiful Yang Yuan in front of him. He was a little apprehensive all of a sudden.

“Don’t … Don’t tell me I have another wife ???”

***

Two hours later, Lu Sheng and Yang Yuan boarded the plane together and sat down in two seats by the window.

Lu Sheng chatted with Yang Yuan for a while and found out that she had applied for a martial arts university in the capital as well. However, Lu Sheng had never heard of the name before. It was probably the same one.

Lu Sheng’s understanding of the universities in Jingdu was limited to the seven Sage Martial Universities.

The main reason why the seven Sage Martial Universities are above the rest was that they all contained a complete set of Sage Legacies. Moreover, they have a unique Sage Martial Towers. The Seventh Sage Martial University, I applied for was established 57 years ago. The founder was one of the three Martial Sages in Dragon Nation, Tan Zhongyu.

Tan Zhongyu became a Martial Sage only 60 years ago and is only 100 years old. He is considered young among the Martial Sages in the world.

The lifespan of a Martial Sage could easily reach more than 300 years. They were no longer in the category of ordinary humans. They were like the long-lived creatures in myths and legends.

Tan Zhongyu became a Martial Sage before he was 100 years old. His talent was amazing, and he was now in his prime.

There were nine Martial Sages in Dragon Nation’s history.

Most of them were born 150 years before martial arts. That was when martial arts had just begun to flourish. All kinds of opportunities and inspirations were in full bloom, and martial arts talents were emerging in large numbers.

However, it was also because of that turbulent era that many Martial Sages died on the battlefield against exotic beasts. Some also died in civil wars between nations.

Lu Sheng had learned in history class that when martial arts were around 100 years old, Dragon Nation and Lion Nation each sent a large number of Martial Sages to fight for the title of world’s martial overlord.

More than one Martial Sage had fallen. It could be said that this was the most tragic and heart-wrenching battle in the past few centuries.

Many human martial arts elites died due to internal strife. It was a pity.

As for the result of that war, it was better not to mention it.

Other than Tan Zhongyu, the two remaining Martial Sages in Dragon Nation were both old men who had survived that war. After the war, these two Martial Sages founded the Extreme Dao Martial Academy and the Transcendent Dao Martial Academy respectively as places of inheritance.

Extreme Dao Martial Academy and the Transcendent Dao Martial Academy were the two most powerful and top-notch martial arts academies in Dragon Nation.

Many martial artists who were unwilling to go to the battlefield would choose to seek refuge in these two martial academies.

Before Lu Sheng registered, he had done some research.

Other than his personal understanding of the principal of the Seventh Sage Martial University, Sage Martial Tan Zhongyu, what interested him the most was the Sage Martial Tower in the Seven Sage Martial Universities.

“It’s said that the Sage Martial Tower perfectly replicates the state of every Martial Sage at different eras. It represents the highest level of martial arts and technology in the Dragon Nation.

Moreover, once you pass a certain number of levels in the tower, there is an opportunity to have an audience with the Martial Sage, and even to be taken in as a disciple by the Martial Sage …

Lu Sheng wasn’t interested in being a disciple of a Martial Sage. There were so many inheritances left behind by Level 10 and Level 11 experts in the dream world that he couldn’t even finish cultivating. Why would he care about a mere Level 9 Martial Sage’s inheritance?

“If it weren’t for the country’s mandatory requirement to complete the corresponding university credits for ‘cultivating martial talents,’ which must be fulfilled before one can enter the battlefield, I would have already gone to report to Yu Feiyi in the Eastern Military Region …”
