High Martial Arts: Logging 10,000 Years Into The Future - Chapter 83

Chapter 83 – You’re a Spiritual Master. Why Did You Hide Such a Big Thing From Me?!

He looked at Old Man Xia again.

At this moment, Old Man Xia was completely frozen. His mouth was unnaturally open, and his expression was one of shock and astonishment.

Although Old Man Xia did not know what the Qiming General Selection was, he could hear the weight behind Dong Qingxue’s words.

Representing Dongning Province … The entire Eastern Region …

Every single one of these words was a clear indication of Lu Sheng’s position in the training camp and in Dong Qingxue’s mind.

Moreover, he clearly understood what Dong Qingxue was implying.

Dongning Province’s Prodigy Training Camp was specially established to select candidates for the Qiming General Selection. The candidate had been decided more than a month ago. The purpose of the training camp had been achieved long ago. It did not matter when it ended.

That was the general gist behind her words.

Old Man Xia was a little confused.

At this moment, he heard Dong Qingxue’s cold voice coming from the phone in Xiao Yuhe’s hand. It sounded like she was reprimanding someone.

“Xia Lin, get up. Can’t you handle this little training? Do you still want to defeat Lu Sheng?!”

“Sob, sob. Instructor Dong, I don’t want to defeat Lu Sheng at all. I would run whenever I saw him! I’ll continue to run whenever I see him in the future … ”

“You’re driving me crazy, Xia Lin!” The voice coming from through the phone was clear and audible. Old Man Xia’s body trembled slightly.

Alright.

The monster in the training camp that his granddaughter had complained about in the video call … So it was this Lu Sheng!

“Alright, Instructor Dong, I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll hang up first.”

Xiao Yuhe, who was beaming with joy, was about to hang up the phone when Dong Qingxue suddenly called out to him.

“President Xiao, don’t hang up first. I have a few words to say to Lu Sheng.”

Xiao Yuhe was stunned, but he quickly understood.

“Oh, oh, okay.” Xiao Yuhe pointed the phone screen at Lu Sheng.

Dong Qingxue’s cold and beautiful face appeared before Lu Sheng’s eyes. “Lu Sheng, I’ve found almost all the materials you asked me to find for the Spiritual Master Weapon. I’ve already sent you the list of names and prices. If you need me to buy anything for you, just let me know when the time comes …”

Xiao Yuhe, who was holding his phone, was beaming with joy as he gave Old Man Xia, who had a frighteningly dark expression, a smug and boastful look.

In just a few minutes, the two men’s expressions had completely changed.

Even Xiao Yuhe himself could not help but sigh inwardly at the wonders of the world.

However, the more Xiao Yuhe listened to Dong Qingxue’s conversation with Lu Sheng, the more he felt that something was amiss. Old Man Xia also felt that something was wrong.

The two of them exchanged glances and looked at the phone screen in Xiao Yuhe’s hand at almost the same time.

At this moment, Dong Qingxue spoke up.

“Speaking of which, you still need to pass the spiritual master test as soon as possible. That way, you’ll have the qualifications to log onto the Star Web and buy it yourself. That way, you won’t have to trouble me every time. Well, that’s all I have to say. Tell President Xiao that I’m hanging up first. I’m still busy here.”

Beep, beep, beep ~

The video call ended.

Xiao Yuhe and Old Man Xia looked as if they had seen a ghost.

“Lu Sheng …” Xiao Yuhe forcefully swallowed his saliva and prepared to speak.

The tone of his voice was slightly distorted, as if he was suppressing some kind of emotion.

“What did Instructor Dong Qingxue say to you just now?” Xiao Yuhe’s voice began to tremble a little.

“What did she mean by … telling you to hurry up and take the spiritual master test?”

After asking, Xiao Yuhe and Old Man Xia stared straight at Lu Sheng, anticipating his answer.

Lu Sheng naturally replied, “Oh, because I was tested to have a talent for spiritual power in the training camp, Chief Instructor Dong Qingxue wrote me a recommendation letter and told me to take the spiritual master test when I have time. That’s all.”

That’s all?

What did he mean by that!

Xiao Yuhe almost exploded. He almost jumped up on the spot.

He had always admired Lu Sheng’s calm and steady personality, but now he felt that Lu Sheng’s behaviour was especially … asking for a beating!

It was fine if he did not mention something as important as becoming a spiritual master, but why was he still so calm!

Why do you make it sound like if Dong Qingxue had not let it slip, you wouldn’t have mentioned it! You’ve been hiding it from me, the president of the Martial Arts Association? Fuck, can you not just be nice!

That was what he thought, but when it came to his mouth, only one sentence was left.

“Good, good, good … Lu Sheng, I was right about you. You are the top genius of our Baihe City in a hundred years!”

Xiao Yuhe was so happy that his heart was trembling.

A seventeen-year-old Level 3 Martial Artist with a combat power of 270,000. Most importantly, he had the talent to become a spiritual master.

This was like having countless halos around him. It was so dazzling that it could not be more dazzling!

In addition, Lu Sheng was about to represent Dongning Province in the Qiming General Selection. If he was selected, then damn … He, Xiao Yuhe, would completely soar!

He might not even have to wait for Lu Sheng to grow. He could raise his status in the Martial Arts Association and obtain the opportunity to become a Grandmaster.

Even if he did not become a General.

With Lu Sheng’s growth rate, as long as he had a good relationship with him, he would definitely benefit greatly in the future.

Anyway, he was still young. It would take a few more years for his body’s vitality to slowly decline. He could still afford to wait.

Speaking of which, how should he get close to Lu Sheng?

Right!

Old Man Xia had a granddaughter. He was not as old as Old Man Xia, but he had nieces. Although his nieces were not very talented and did not look good, but … He should find a chance and give it a try.

Sometimes, the tastes of monstrous geniuses were hard to predict. Who knew, he might find someone he liked.

The more Xiao Yuhe thought about it, the more he liked Lu Sheng. A smile bloomed on his face. On the other hand, Old Man Xia’s face was stiff. Even his lips were trembling.

Lu Sheng was also a spiritual master. It seemed that he was even more talented than his granddaughter, Xia Lin.

The last trace of pride in Old Man Xia’s heart was completely shattered at this moment.

…

“You really don’t need me to send you home?” Xiao Yuhe sent Lu Sheng all the way to the entrance of the Martial Arts Association and sent him to a taxi.

“No need. I can go home by myself. Thank you, President Xiao.” Lu Sheng politely rejected Xiao Yuhe’s good intentions.

Xiao Yuhe did not want to force him, but his expression was still filled with regret.

“Then come to my house for a meal when you are free. I will personally cook a few dishes for you to try. I will also introduce a few friends for you. They are about the same age as you. You should have common topics to talk about!”

“Definitely.”

The taxi started. Xiao Yuhe waved at Lu Sheng and then turned around.

His back immediately straightened, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. His entire aura seemed to have changed.

He could not wait to go back and call his old comrades, old buddies, and old colleagues to brag.

He wanted to talk about how amazing a martial arts genius had appeared under the jurisdiction of his Martial Arts Association. He also wanted to talk about how black Old Man Xia’s face was today …

Haha, just thinking about it made him feel good.

Lu Sheng watched Xiao Yuhe leave through the window. He turned around and found the taxi driver looking at him curiously through the rearview mirror.

Noticing his gaze, the driver could not help but ask, “Young man, who are you to President Xiao? Why is he so polite to you?”

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Nobody. I just know him. President Xiao has always been very polite to people.”

“Is that so? That’s rare. President Xiao is a Level 6 Martial Artist. I didn’t expect him to have such a good temper in private. Young man, you look a little familiar …”

The taxi driver stared at Lu Sheng for a while. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and almost threw the steering wheel out.

“I recognize you. You are Lu Sheng, right? The martial arts genius that was reported on the news two months ago! No wonder President Xiao is so polite to you. I heard that you are only in your third year of high school, and you are already a Level 3 Martial Artist …”

“Good boy, my daughter adores you. Can you give me an autograph later? I don’t want to charge you …”

Hearing the taxi driver’s endless chatter, Lu Sheng felt helpless.

Are all taxi drivers in the world so talkative?

Fortunately, it was not a long journey. Soon, he would reach his neighbourhood.

“… Speaking of which, do you have any unique martial arts skills? Can you teach me a few? I will teach my daughter when I get back …” The taxi driver was still talking to himself when he suddenly heard Lu Sheng whisper.

“Sir, please stop the car first.”

This voice was not loud, but it exploded in the driver’s ears like thunder. The driver shuddered and slammed on the brakes. He turned around and looked at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng was looking out the window. It was a rather stylish shop. The door was open, and half of the glass door was on the ground. Broken glass shards were everywhere.

There was also a smashed signboard on the ground in front of the door. A few words could be faintly seen on the signboard — Red River Martial Arts Academy. Many people were standing far away to watch the show. Lu Sheng threw down a hundred yuan and got out of the car.

“Let’s stop here. Thank you, sir.”

The taxi driver blankly grabbed the hundred yuan. All of a sudden, he remembered something and hurriedly yelled.

“Autograph, you haven’t given me your autograph yet.”

Unfortunately, Lu Sheng, who was dragging his suitcase, was already far away.
