Logging 10,000 Years into the Future

Chapter 80: Qiming Star

Chapter 80 — Qiming Star

"As expected …" Dong Qingxue's expression relaxed when she heard Lu Sheng's answer.

It was normal for him to have a master. A situation where Lu Sheng did not have a master, yet for him to reach this stage relying purely on his talent … she could simply not accept such a situation.

"Actually, the purity of my spiritual power was not that high. I only reached this level after cultivating the cultivation method my master gave me …"

The first time was when he successfully visualized a crystal figure. The second time was when he successfully transformed the crystal figure into a diamond figure. Lu Sheng thought to himself.

"That's enough to prove that you indeed possess strong talent …" Dong Qingxue could not help but exclaim.

"You must have awakened your talent not long ago, right?"

"Less than three months ago."

There was nothing to hide regarding it. It would be clear at a glance if one checked his information.

"Tsk tsk …" Dong Qingxue looked at Lu Sheng enviously. “You have a spiritual power closer to Level 2 and Level 3 soon after you awakened your spiritual power, and with such high levels of purity … Even in the Spiritual Master Association, there won’t be many monsters like you to come in the next few decades.”

"There's an association for spiritual masters?" Lu Sheng could not help but ask.

"You didn’t know?" Dong Qingxue was a little surprised, but she quickly reacted. "Your master probably didn't tell you on purpose, afraid that it would affect your cultivation. After all, the more you know, the more distracting thoughts you have, which will affect the purity of your spiritual power.

"But since you've mentioned it, I'll tell you a few things. There's an association for spiritual masters too, but not many people know about it. Its location is also more secretive than the average Martial Artist Association.

"The strength of a Spiritual Master can also be officially recognized. You're now qualified to participate in the Spiritual Master Assessment. If necessary, I can write you a recommendation letter. Of course, it has to be on the premise that your master doesn't object …"

Dong Qingxue emphasized the last sentence as if it was a taboo.

"My master shouldn't object. In fact, I've never seen what he really looks like. Every time he teaches me, his method is very mysterious …"

Lu Sheng did not even blink.

He had mastered the technique of making up stories. Every sentence was true, but every sentence was poles apart from the truth.

"Your master is probably an amazing person …" Dong Qingxue was in awe. This could be seen from his attitude toward Lu Sheng and the way he taught Lu Sheng. She inferred.

For someone as talented as Lu Sheng, most people would have treated him like a golden nugget after discovering him.

The teacher that Lu Sheng spoke of was still allowing him to develop freely. He didn't even want to show his face.

Only someone with a very high status could do things like this. Thinking of this, Dong Qingxue felt much better. Lu Sheng was monstrous, but his monstrous talent was supported by external conditions.

As expected, there was no such thing as a random genius in this world. Even Lu Sheng, who had a simple background, had a powerful and mysterious spiritual master teacher.

"Actually, I invited you here today to discuss a few things with you …" Dong Qingxue calmed herself down a little and sat down in front of her desk.

Qin Shaojun also put away his sloppy appearance and sat obediently at the side.

"Chief Instructors, please speak."

"The first thing …" Dong Qingxue gave Qin Shaojun a look. Qin Shaojun took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Lu Sheng.

"Here's five million. It's your reward for securing first place in this training camp, plus the extra reward for your outstanding performance …"

Although the training camp was not over yet.

Lu Sheng's performance today had firmly established his position as the overlord.

Unless someone among the remaining students suddenly had a huge breakthrough, it was impossible to shake Lu Sheng's position.

However, the probability of that happening … was still much higher than the probability of Qin Shaojun not slacking off starting from the day after.

"Don't be dissatisfied. This is the maximum amount we can grant … The Eastern Military Region has always been tight on military funds. Most of the funds for this training camp were spent on providing you guys with three meals a day …"

Qin Shaojun looked at Lu Sheng and pursed his lips. "You're famous in the training camp for having a big appetite. The total cost of the all the food you’ve eaten during your stay would tally up to about ten million."

Lu Sheng was speechless.

"Are you joking?!"

Dong Qingxue glared at Qin Shaojun and said seriously to Lu Sheng, "Mr. Lu Sheng, although this amount is not at all satisfactory, it's enough to prove the sincerity of the Eastern Military Region (Dongning) …"

Lu Sheng caught the word ‘Eastern Military Region' in Dong Qingxue's words and said thoughtfully, "Is this … recruitment?"

"You can take it that way."

Dong Qingxue nodded and said, "Martial arts geniuses like you will have to go to the battlefield in the future no matter what. You can't raise a True Dragon Martial Saint in the safe zone! The country and Martial Alliance don't give martial artists all that support and privilege for free.

You'll have to reach this stage sooner or later.

"We hope that when you're faced with the choice of military region, you'll prioritize the Eastern Military Region …"

"The Eastern Military Region is good. The female soldiers, all have big breasts and long legs.” Qin Shaojun sang loudly.

Lu Sheng was speechless.

"Alright." Lu Sheng took the bank card and said seriously, "I accept this sincerity. I'll consider it carefully."

Dong Qingxue seemed to have been waiting for this promise. She smiled.

"Then let's talk about something else."

Dong Qingxue looked straight into Lu Sheng's eyes and said seriously, "Major Qin Shaojun and I have decided that you'll represent the Dongning Province's Genius Training Camp to participate in the Eastern Province's [*means the entire region] Qiming General Selection …"

"Qiming General Selection?" Lu Sheng was shocked.

"Yes."

Dong Qingxue explained, "All the provinces in the Eastern Province will hold genius training camps like ours every year. The purpose is to select the true geniuses with the potential to become Qiming General (Rising Star). You should know what a General represents, right? "

Lu Sheng nodded and uttered two words.

"Grandmaster."

"Yes."

Dong Qingxue continued, "A Qiming General is a future Grandmaster, a General Star in preparation. There's only one such person in the entire Eastern Province every year. And this one was selected from the many chief candidates of the various provincial Prodigy Training Camps.

"Although there's only one Qiming General, and even if you become one, you're not destined to become a Grandmaster.

"However, as long as you get it, you'll definitely leave a mark on your resume. Anyone who participates will have this on their records. And this be will be very helpful no matter where you go in the future. Think about it, Lu Sheng."

"There's nothing to think about. I'll go." Lu Sheng agreed without hesitation.

Since he lived in this era, there were some things that were unavoidable.

Lu Sheng was very ambitious. He wanted to change the fate of the entire human race with his own strength. He wanted to turn the tide and be the fire that started the inferno.

The moment this belief was planted, it was destined that he would not choose peace in the future.*

Since he would have to fight the foreign beasts on the battlefield sooner or later, why should he think about it when there was such a good opportunity in front of him?

"Alright."

Dong Qingxue was very satisfied with Lu Sheng's attitude. She praised, "Major Qin and I both believe in your ability. If even you can't do it, then no one in the Dongning Province can.

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you. The rewards for this Qiming General Selection are directly issued by the Eastern Military Region. It's much more generous than what our little Prodigy Training Camp can provide."

"I understand." This was also Lu Sheng's goal all along. By displaying more talents, he would be able to obtain more resources.

"There are still few months before the Qiming General Selection begins. It'll only officially start after all the provincial training camps have ended. I'll let you know when it's time.

"In any case, I won't let you miss the college entrance examination …"

Dong Qingxue blinked and smiled. "In fact, with your current ability, it doesn't matter if you take the college entrance examination or not. You can choose any martial arts university in the entire Eastern Military Region."

"Then, do I still need to stay in the training camp?"

Lu Sheng asked.

Dong Qingxue replied, "It's up to you. If you want to stay, you can stay. If you don't want to, you can leave at any time."

Lu Sheng thought for a moment. "I'll stay for a while longer."

Although the training camp was meaningless to him, at least there was still the Gravity Training Room and Agility Training Room that were very helpful to him.

Moreover.

The food here was really good.

"This kid is definitely staying for the food …" Qin Shaojun secretly said to Dong Qingxue.

Lu Sheng, "…"

After listening to Dong Qingxue explain everything, Lu Sheng simply bid farewell and left.

Watching Lu Sheng's back disappear at the door, a complicated look appeared in Dong Qingxue's eyes.

"I didn't expect that I, Dong Qingxue, would be jealous of someone because of their talent …" Dong Qingxue sighed and said softly.

"That's right."

Qin Shaojun could not help but sigh. "Lu Sheng is really a monster. We should be glad that we didn't get into the same batch as him. Otherwise, the psychological trauma left by Xiang Peng can't compare to him."

"I really feel sorry for the other brats in this batch. They're probably going to be so shocked that they’ll start doubting their lives." Qin Shaojun had a gloating expression on his face.

Dong Qingxue rolled her eyes at him and did not say anything.

"Oh, right." Qin Shaojun suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, "With Lu Sheng in this Qiming General Selection, won't we win for sure? When the time comes, the two of us will definitely be rewarded. I didn't expect to be able to get such a great merit for free on a holiday. I, Qin Shaojun, am indeed a winner in life. Hahaha …"

Dong Qingxue was not as optimistic as him.

"Don't celebrate too early. Although Lu Sheng is a monster, there are hundreds of millions of people in the entire Eastern Military Region. It's not impossible for there to be a few monsters like Lu Sheng every year.

"Have you heard of this saying?

"It's easy to pass the imperial examination, but difficult to win the martial arts championship. There are too many geniuses and monsters in this world …"

Qin Shaojun was silent.

After a while, he said in all seriousness, "Qingxue, you're so sexy when you pretend to be meaningful. I almost fell for you …"

Dong Qingxue, "…"

"Qin Shaojun, do you want to die?!"

"I'm joking. Ah, don't hit my face!"
