Chapter 418
Lu Sheng walked out of the martial arts room door and saw Li Die standing obediently at the stairway entrance on the third floor,waiting for him.Lu Sheng’s eyes flickered as he walked over.When he got closer,Li Die obediently said,”Sir,Colonel Wang Ye has been waiting for you downstairs for more than two hours.”
“I know,”Lu Sheng nodded and,not bothering to change his clothes,went straight downstairs.In the living room,Wang Ye was sitting on the edge of the sofa,drinking tea.With the recent cold weather,even a Level 6 Martial Artist like him had started to wear winter clothes,making his figure look a bit bloated.
Seeing Lu Sheng coming over,Wang Ye immediately put down his teacup and stood up to salute,his posture ten times more respectful than before.Now,Lu Sheng was a living legend in the Eastern Military Region!If it weren’t for the marshal’s strict orders to keep it secret for now,the results of the Eastern Military Region’s competition would have made Lu Sheng a renowned figure in the entire Dragon Country military.If not surpassing the”Eastern Emperor”from the Central Military Region,at least he would be on par,stealing at least forty percent of his limelight.
As the marshal and the general said—our Eastern Military Region has been down for years in the Grand Military Martial Arts Exhibition.Finally,we have an unparalleled genius;we naturally want to give the other four Regions a big surprise.
“Sit,”Lu Sheng casually sat on the sofa,and Li Die handed him the tea she had prepared.
“Thank you,sir,”Wang Ye thanked and sat down respectfully.
He took out a silver box and handed it to Lu Sheng.
“The cold weapon that you ordered,sir,has been crafted.Please have a look.”
Lu Sheng had noticed the box as soon as he saw Wang Ye,so he wasn’t surprised and naturally opened the box.As soon as it was opened,a sharp aura greeted him.Lu Sheng’s eyes brightened as he carefully examined the pale gold long blade in front of him.
Crafted from over ninety percent of Orichalcum and blended with some rare materials not inferior to Orichalcum,the alloy material…This inner wheel blade had indeed reached the genuine Level 8.Lu Sheng casually picked up the long blade.The entire blade was about one meter three in length,weighing more than forty pounds,with a thick spine and a slightly thin blade.The sharpness was extraordinary,and the blade and handle were adorned with many decorative patterns.
“Top-tier equipment!”The phrase popped into Lu Sheng’s mind instantly.
Both stylish and powerful,he was already eager to start developing a”blade sense.”
He even began planning whom and when to use to inaugurate this inner wheel blade.Wang Ye watched Lu Sheng examining the blade without interrupting.
Only when Lu Sheng’s gaze finally left the blade did he speak again,”The spiritual weapon you ordered,sir,because of the complicated crafting process,will take a bit longer.But we have people working overtime on it,and it should be completed within a month at the latest…”
Lu Sheng wasn’t concerned and nodded to indicate he understood.The top-tier spiritual weapon from the future,being crafted at all was quite a feat.Not to mention a month,he could wait a year.
“And also…”Wang Ye continued,”The Grand Military Martial Arts Exhibition is about to start.The marshal’s instructions are that you can leave for it in the next few days.The military will arrange a special plane to send you there…”
Lu Sheng’s expression shifted,and he couldn’t help but ask,”When exactly does the Grand Military Martial Arts Exhibition start?Can I go there myself?”
***
Wang Ye hesitated for a moment and said,”The entire army’s martial arts drill will probably start around January 8th.If you want to go there by yourself,it should be no problem.But you must arrive a day or a few days in advance.”
January 8th.It’s December 26th now.
Lu Sheng calculated that there were still about two weeks left.It took only one day to fly from the east to the central region.So he had plenty of time to do other things.For example…Going home for a visit.
“Okay,I got it.”
“Then I won’t bother you anymore,I shall take my leave.”
Lu Sheng nodded and said to Wang Ye,”Go back and convey my greetings to General He and the Marshal.”
“Yes.”
Lu Sheng asked Li Die to see Wang Ye out,while he sat on the sofa,thinking about going home,and played with the newly acquired Inner Wheel Blade.He placed the Inner Wheel blade on his arm and gently cut back and forth,gradually increasing the pressure.It wasn’t because Lu Sheng was a pervert with masochistic tendencies.Rather,he was using this to test the sharpness of the Inner Wheel Blade and to explore the defensive limit of his Stellar Immortal Physique.
After sending off Wang Ye,Li Die returned,covered in snowflakes.She walked up to Lu Sheng and whispered,”Sir,I wish to accompany and serve you during your trip to the Central Military Region.”
Lu Sheng looked up and glanced at Li Die.He noticed that her expression was calm and her demeanor was very natural.
“Okay.”Lu Sheng nodded and agreed readily.
“Thank you,sir.”
A trace of joy flashed in Li Die’s eyes.
“Why are you thanking me?You accompanying and serving me…”Lu Sheng looked at Li Die and said meaningfully,”I should be the one thanking you.”
Li Die was momentarily stunned,her facial and body muscles involuntarily tensed.Lu Sheng smiled slightly and said no more.He stood up,took the dark blue woolen coat hanging on the coat rack in the living room,draped it over himself,and walked leisurely towards the outside.
“I’m going out for a while,you prepare well.”
Li Die’s expression returned to normal as she watched Lu Sheng gradually disappear.Her eyes flickered,and she softly said,”Yes.”
…
Snowflakes fell softly,swirling slightly in the wind,like fair elves.Two figures strolled along a secluded path in the military region that hadn’t been cleared of snow,leaving footprints closely nestled together in the snow.
Lu Sheng held Dong Qingxue’s hand.He was now over 1.9 meters tall,but only a head taller than Dong Qingxue.Dong Qingxue’s figure was also excellent,with perfect proportions.Both were extremely handsome and beautiful individuals,walking hand in hand,like a scene out of a shoujo manga.
“The grand drill is about to start.I’m taking this time to go home for a visit.Do you want to come with me?”
Dong Qingxue paused and gently shook her head,”I’m afraid I can’t.You destroyed Dong Shengyi’s martial path,and the family already is aware of it.I have to go back.”
Lu Sheng looked rather emotional.Dong Shengyi was indeed quite pitiful,being the heir of a Martial Sage and the son of a prodigy.After hiding his strength for decades,he emerged to astonish the world with his first move.Yet,just as he started,he encountered Lu Sheng,who shattered his pride into pieces,leaving him disheartened and retreating with Lin Wanwan.
