Li Die’s expression began to change dramatically, finally settling into calmness, and she nodded firmly.
“Yes.”
…
“Woo—”
The whistle sounded, and the snow-white high-speed train slowly entered the station.
Including the head conductor, eight beautiful attendants stood at the train exit again, forming two rows of welcome.
A handsome young man in a military uniform stepped out of the train, immediately hearing a neat and pleasant “Take care, Chief.”
The handsome young man smiled, looking quite pleased. He waved at the young and beautiful attendants, then said a few words to the woman in a military uniform following him, took the silver weapon case from her, and strode towards the station exit.
There, people from the Dongning Province Military Department were already waiting to pick him up.
A group of young and beautiful attendants watched their perfect “Prince Charming” leave, feeling a bit downcast. The slightly older head conductor watched them with amusement, but seeing Lu Sheng’s departing figure, she also felt a sense of awe. Such a young and handsome “Chief” was also the first she had ever seen in her life. Although she joked about those infatuated girls, to be honest, she herself wasn’t without a bit of interest.
She even secretly prepared a full set of tools, but unfortunately, didn’t get to use them …
“By right, young people should like mature big sisters …” The head conductor muttered as she turned around, suddenly seeing a figure standing at the platform’s edge, motionless.
It was the female officer who had come with the young Chief. Even as just a subordinate, in the eyes of these little attendants, she was still a significant figure. As the saying goes, the gatekeeper of a prime minister is a third-rank official; the Chief’s guard could also potentially become a Chief in the future.
The head conductor’s spirit lifted, and she quickly approached with her most polite and respectful smile, asking, “Leader, is there anything I can help you with?”
Standing at the platform’s edge, Li Die remained silent for a moment before asking, “When does the next train pass through?”
“Pass through?”
The head conductor was surprised by the question but looked at her watch and answered, “About five minutes later. A K3598 train will pass through Baihe Station but won’t stop …”
Li Die nodded, turned away, and said no more.
Seeing that the other party had lost interest in talking, the head conductor wisely walked away. She had just walked away not long when she saw a middle-aged man in black quickly approaching Li Die.
“Damn it, why is that kid still alive?” The middle-aged man walked up to Li Die with an ugly expression and asked.
Li Die said in a low voice, “I didn’t find a suitable opportunity to strike.”
The middle-aged man frowned, “Then why are you standing here now? Why not keep following him?”
“The Master asked me to do one last thing for him …” Li Die looked up, answering with her mouth, but her eyes looking past the middle-aged man towards the direction behind him.
The middle-aged man turned his head, seeing nothing but a high-speed train rapidly approaching.
“What thing? Forget it, it doesn’t matter …” The middle-aged man said coldly, “Don’t blame me for not reminding you, that person’s patience isn’t great, and the time left for you is running out. If you can’t do it, return the item as soon as possible. We will execute the next plan—”
“Here it comes.” The middle-aged man was interrupted by Li Die’s sudden words.
At that moment, the sound of the train passing by roared behind them, and the middle-aged man, unable to hear Li Die’s voice, leaned closer, frowning, “What did you say?”
In Li Die’s eyes, the reflection of the snow-white high-speed train rapidly approaching enlarged. Her gaze finally returned to the middle-aged man.
She calmly said to the middle-aged man, “I said, let’s die together.”
With that, Li Die suddenly hugged the middle-aged man and kicked the ground forcefully. In an instant, as the high-speed train passed, the two figures were swallowed by the white train.
Standing more than ten meters away, the head conductor, who had been watching the two, witnessed everything with wide eyes. She stood there in shock for several seconds before coming to her senses, stumbling and running towards the train while shouting in panic.
“They’ve jumped onto the tracks … They’ve committed suicide by jumping onto the tracks!”
Lu Sheng sat in a black extended limousine, leaning back against the leather seat, looking out the window at the scenery with a calm expression …
***
A man dressed in a military uniform sat opposite Lu Sheng. He was the chief officer of the Dongning Province Military Region. Despite being in his fifties and holding the rank of Major General—a title reserved for grandmasters—his posture was impeccably upright, and his face was full of respect.
He was well aware of the significance of the person sitting before him. This was the champion of the Eastern Military Region’s grand competition, personally endorsed by the Eastern Region Marshal as the idol of the entire Eastern Military Region. His strength was of a supreme grandmaster, and his age was astonishingly young—barely twenty years old after the New Year! The thought of this made the chief officer tremble both in body and mind. His grandson was older than this young man, yet this young man had reached heights that the officer himself could hardly even dream of. It was unimaginable.
No wonder this young man was known as the “Blazing Sun of the Eastern Region” within the military. His extraordinary presence was indeed like the sun at its zenith, radiating dazzling and brilliant light. And more importantly, this young man hailed from Baihe City in Dongning Province. If the officer could seize this opportunity during his visit home …
The thought of possibly establishing a connection with such an extraordinary figure made the officer’s heart race with excitement.
Lu Sheng paid no attention to the emotions of the man across from him, his mind occupied with his own thoughts.
“By now, Li Die should have completed the task I assigned her …” Lu Sheng wasn’t worried about Li Die fleeing or anything else. Besides her outwardly gentle but inwardly strong personality, there was another reason—Lu Sheng had planted a “seed” in her mind. A seed of spiritual power, or perhaps it could be called a psychological suggestion or hypnosis.
“Spiritual power is truly fascinating …” Lu Sheng couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
After advancing to the third level of Empty State, his spiritual abilities had increased significantly. In his spare time, he had browsed through the resources in the Fireseed Repository, learning various strange, bizarre, and unbelievable Spiritual power techniques that were both interesting and practical.
“In the future, when martial arts have developed for ten thousand years, even Spiritual Masters can cultivate and grow through techniques. Many have already mastered an incredible array of Spiritual power applications …”
Lu Sheng realized that he had previously overlooked a vast treasure trove.
“With Level 8 Spiritual Power, I can use many of these techniques. If I can develop my spiritual abilities further, my overall strength will greatly increase …”
Lu Sheng had taken just over a year to go from an ordinary high school martial arts student with a BQV of 0.8 to the “Blazing Sun” of the Eastern Region. He had grown like a sapling, rapidly surpassing the decades or even centuries that other saplings would take to become a towering tree. In such a short time, ensuring that the trunk was solid and stable was already a remarkable achievement. He simply didn’t have the time or energy to grow enough branches and leaves.
