High Martial Arts: Logging 10,000 Years Into The Future - Chapter 355

Chapter 355

“Okay.”

The two left Zhan Hongyu’s house, and a small shuttle bus happened to pass by the entrance.

Lu Sheng found that the infrastructure in the General Star District was truly well-developed, almost no different from a regular central city.

It also made him more determined to bring his parents here.

The General Star Qualification Certification Center was not too far from Zhan Hongyu’s house, so the two decided to walk there.

“I’ve notified Bald Head, White Face and the others … they’ll be waiting for us at the center,” Zhan Hongyu said to Lu Sheng after putting down her communication wristband.

Lu Sheng nodded without saying anything.

He understood Zhan Hongyu and the others’ thoughts clearly, but he wouldn’t resent them either.

Seeking strength and avoiding weakness is human nature. Why should others be good to you if you have no value? They’re not your parents.

He also needed people like Zhan Hongyu who were familiar with the General Star District to guide him, as he was a newcomer.

Walking on the road, Lu Sheng saw some martial arts masters and Star Generals in their forties and fifties with powerful qi and blood passing by. He couldn’t help but ask Zhan Hongyu curiously, “How old are you this year?”

Zhan Hongyu was taken aback, brushed her hair back and casually replied, “Over fifty, almost sixty. I guess I’m more than ten or twenty years older than you …”

“…”

After saying that, Zhan Hongyu suddenly realized Lu Sheng had fallen silent and got a bit flustered.

“What? I’m even older than that?”

Lu Sheng thought for a moment and said, “That’s about right.”

Then he fell silent again.

Lu Sheng was no saint; he was in the prime of his virile years. Seeing Zhan Hongyu, a mature woman with a fiery figure, formidable strength, and a proactive and enthusiastic attitude, it was inevitable that some thoughts would arise in his mind.

But not anymore.

Are you kidding?

Zhan Hongyu was even older than his mother Zheng Yufen.

Although martial artists’ lifespans were much longer than ordinary people’s, he still felt it was a bit inappropriate.

“A difference of around ten years is the limit, any more than that is not okay … at most Dong Xingxue’s age …”

Dong Xingxue looked to be in her thirties. At the peak of the martial arts era, this age gap was no different from a two- or three-year difference.

Lu Sheng suddenly realized something.

“Why would I subconsciously compare her to Dong Xingxue? That’s a bit odd …” Lu Sheng suddenly seemed to understand a little.

Why Dong Xingxue’s name had always existed in his spouse information column.

…

Ten minutes later, Lu Sheng and Zhan Hongyu arrived in front of a magnificent tall building.

The main entrance was wide open, with people coming and going from time to time.

Almost all of those entering and exiting were at the Martial Master level.

Such a gathering of so many Martial Masters could probably only be seen in the military’s General Star District.

The three members of the Tiger Scorpion Squad were waiting at the entrance. There was also another thin man in his forties, also a Martial Master wearing a combat suit. He seemed quite familiar with the Tiger Scorpion Squad members and was casually chatting while smoking.

“The captain is here!”

The usually quiet middle-aged man in the squad said a sentence when he saw Lu Sheng and Zhan Hongyu.

The bald man and the handsome young man immediately put out their cigarettes and looked over at them.

***

“Captain.”

The group greeted Zhan Hongyu.

The thin man who was chatting with the Bald Head and others at the entrance also greeted Zhan Hongyu with a smile.

“Long time no see, Hongyu. You finished this mission so early?”

“Your squad just got back too?”

“Yeah, we just got back to rest after wrapping up the Class SS level catacomb breakout. Some other squads haven’t returned yet …”

After a brief chat, the thin man’s gaze naturally fell on Lu Sheng, who was standing beside Zhan Hongyu.

Now Lu Sheng had restrained his killing intent and ferocious aura, not appearing as overbearing as before. But he still looked sharp and formidable, like an old gun that had just been cleaned and polished.

Outwardly brand new, but upon closer inspection, one could still see traces of blood lingering on the blade.

“This brother looks unfamiliar!” The thin man-sized Lu Sheng up and down, asking Zhan Hongyu, “A new recruit your squad is planning to take in?”

Zhan Hongyu hesitated for a moment, then smiled and shook her head, “I wish that were the case …”

The thin man looked slightly surprised but didn’t ask further.

“Looks like the Tiger Scorpion Squad is about to get new recruits! I won’t bother you guys; I’ll go in first …”

With a greeting, the thin man headed towards the Star General Center.

Watching the thin man’s departing back, Zhan Hongyu explained in a low voice, “The captain of another A-level general star squad, decent in both character and strength.”

Lu Sheng nodded calmly, “Let’s go.”

“Mmhm.”

The group headed towards the center.

After entering the main gate, they saw the expected spacious lobby as anticipated.

There were many windows in the lobby, each labeled with the services provided.

There weren’t many people in the lobby, around a dozen or so coming and going.

They didn’t see the thin man who had walked in earlier. Zhan Hongyu explained, “Most generals are on the second and third floors. That’s where missions are assigned and received. We’ll go upstairs later to receive our mission; we can take a look then. For general star certification, you can do it on the first floor, the strength verification and such are also on the first floor …”

Lu Sheng nodded.

Then he walked to one of the windows following the directions.

A young man in his thirties wearing a deep blue military uniform sat at the window, sitting upright and proper. His martial arts strength seemed to be around Level 4 or Level 5.

“I want to get my general star qualification certified.”

“Okay, please present the relevant documents, the military department’s recommendation letter …”

The young man at the window spoke respectfully, listing off a bunch of things.

Lu Sheng currently had nothing on him, so after thinking for a moment he said, “Can I just give my name? And have my recommender contact you?”

The young man was unexpectedly easy to talk to, contrary to Lu Sheng’s expectations that he might make things difficult. He directly helped Lu Sheng get in touch with Yu Feiyi.

“Hello, this is Yu Feiyi. Lu Sheng, you’ve arrived at the military district, right? General star certification? Okay, got it …”

After a brief exchange with the young man at the window, he pulled up Lu Sheng’s information on the computer, verified his identity, and it went very smoothly.

Just as Yu Feiyi had said earlier.

He had already helped register Lu Sheng’s relevant information; Lu Sheng just needed to activate it in person.

“I’ll take you over there for a strength verification, there are some procedures that have to be followed …”

After looking at Lu Sheng’s information, the young man stared at the computer screen for several long seconds.

Then he abruptly stood up from the window, walked out respectfully, and explained to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng nodded and looked back at Zhan Hongyu and the others.

Zhan Hongyu came along naturally and said to the young man, “We’ll go with him to test our strength too, that should be fine, right?”

“Of course.”
