Logging 10,000 Years into the Future - Chapter 390

Chapter 390

“Then bring him along. I’m very interested to see who in the Third War Zone can cause more serious consequences than me.”

Dong Qingxue was about to respond when a calm voice sounded from behind them.

“Then let me show you.”

The handsome man turned sharply, his pupils shrinking slightly in the next second.

A long, white hand was reaching for his face.

Boom!

An overwhelming aura of a top Grandmaster exploded without hesitation. His energy surged like the sea, and smoke rose like pillars, making the entrance of the airport resemble a small, scorching sun.

A few seconds later.

This sun was forcibly extinguished by someone.

The handsome man’s neck was tightly gripped by an arm, lifting him like a chick.

The several generals who had been with him turned pale, staring in terror at the sudden figure before them.

A young man with shoulder-length hair, dressed casually, stood there. His appearance wasn’t particularly handsome, but his clear, bright eyes were unforgettable.

His physique wasn’t imposing, but this seemingly slender body had just now, in an instant, unleashed unparalleled, terrifying power, grabbing one of the top ten figures in the Third War Zone’s General Star List like a toy.

“Want to court my sister … ha …”

The long-haired young man chuckled, looking at the handsome man in his grasp, and joked, “You’ll have to get past me, her big brother, first.”

With that, he tossed the handsome man away like trash.

“Who are you?!”

The handsome man clutched his bruised neck, slowly getting up from the ground, staring at the long-haired young man in shock.

“Who am I?”

The long-haired young man muttered and then slowly raised his head, spreading his arms wide. An indescribable, immense aura radiated from him.

It spread endlessly, covering the entire airport. The roar of distant warplanes seemed to fade under this invisible force.

Everyone in the vicinity was startled by this aura, standing up and looking in this direction with solemn expressions.

The long-haired young man’s body floated, stepping on the air as if it were solid ground. He ascended seven to eight meters high, looking down at everyone below.

His posture … was like a king returning.

“Spread the word. Tell all the experts in the Eastern Military District …” The long-haired man spoke word by word, “I, Dong Shengyi, am here.”

…

“Dong Qingxue went to the Third War Zone to pick someone up?”

In a quiet bar with mellow blues music, Lu Sheng and Qin Shaojun sat at a long table.

Each had a glass of amber-colored liquor in front of them, casually chatting.

“Yes, so it’s inconvenient.”

Qin Shaojun downed his drink in one gulp and turned to call the bartender, “Another drink, please … no, bring a few more bottles. He’s paying.”

He pointed at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng didn’t mind, just frowned slightly, “Does Instructor Dong have a friend visiting the military district? Why does she need to pick them up personally?”

“Not a friend, a relative.”

Qin Shaojun opened the newly served liquor, thanked the bartender, and cheerfully filled his glass.

“Her brother, half-brother. His name is Dong Shengyi.”

“Brother … Dong Shengyi?” Lu Sheng blinked.

He never knew Dong Qingxue had a brother, let alone a half-brother.

But then again, he never really checked Dong Qingxue’s personal information.

“Yes.”

Qin Shaojun took another gulp of his drink, smacked his lips in satisfaction, and continued, “This Dong Shengyi is quite something, like you, a martial arts prodigy. He’s the third closed-door disciple of the Transcendent Martial Sage, said to be the youngest and most favored one. He was obscure before forty, but after forty …”

Qin Shaojun paused and said, “Seeing him come to the Eastern Military District this time, he’s probably planning to make a name for himself.”

“A disciple of the Martial Sage …” Lu Sheng nodded, “Impressive indeed.”

Qin Shaojun glanced at him and smirked, “You don’t seem too impressed.”

“Is it that obvious?”

Lu Sheng touched his cheek, puzzled.

“…”

“Sigh, I know you’re young and already have twelve-star combat power, with dragon-like talent and early success. But Lu Sheng, I must tell you, don’t underestimate Dong Shengyi …”

Qin Shaojun said seriously, “He’s not an ordinary person. A disciple of the Martial Sage is not as simple as you think. Moreover, Dong Qingxue has another brother. His name is Dong Potian. He’s currently in the Central Military District, ranked first on the Central Military District’s General Star List, with a combat power of twenty-seven stars, nicknamed ‘Central Eastern Emperor.’ That guy is the real terror. Twenty-seven stars! Think about what that means.”

“Dong Potian is also Dong Qingxue’s brother?”

This time, Lu Sheng was genuinely surprised.

He had seen reports about this person in the military district newspapers, considered the top candidate for the new general in the upcoming all-military martial arts contest.

He had paid some attention then, not knowing he was Dong Qingxue’s half-brother.

“Feeling the pressure?”

Qin Shaojun patted Lu Sheng’s shoulder, “If you want to court Dong Qingxue, you’ll have to get past her two brothers. The road ahead is tough; take care, young man.”

“Who said I want to court Dong Qingxue? You’ve got it wrong.”

Lu Sheng shook his head seriously.

“Stop pretending!”

Qin Shaojun exclaimed, “Even Dong Qingxue has stopped pretending. Why are you, a grown man, being so coy?”

Lu Sheng was about to take a sip of his drink, but hearing Qin Shaojun’s words, he crushed the glass in his hand.

“What did you just say? What did Dong Qingxue admit to you?”

Lu Sheng stood up, leaning forward, staring intently at Qin Shaojun, his eyes bright.

“Haha, you got caught! You little rascal …”

Qin Shaojun laughed heartily, “Lu Sheng, your martial skills are indeed strong. But when it comes to feelings, you’re just a blank sheet of paper; I can see through you at a glance …”

“You’re right.”

Lu Sheng sat down again, calmly swept the broken glass on the table aside, and didn’t shy away from his weaknesses.

“I’m a blank sheet. So, what exactly did Instructor Dong admit to you?”

Qin Shaojun blinked at him, half-smiling, “What do you want her to admit?”

“Instructor Qin …”

“Alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing you.”

Qin Shaojun laughed, “She likes you too. Last time she invited you to dinner, she wanted to tell you that. Who knew, you stood her up …”

“Uh …”

Only now did Lu Sheng realize what he had missed last time.

“But you don’t need to worry too much. From what I know about Dong Qingxue, once she decides on something, she rarely changes her mind. She’s not the problem. The main issue is her two brothers, Dong Shengyi, and Dong …”

Just as Qin Shaojun was speaking, a large group of people suddenly walked in from outside the bar.

These people were wearing civilian clothes of officers, walking and discussing heatedly.

“Dong Shengyi is too strong!”

“On his first day in our Eastern Military District, he defeated Sun Huanyu, ranked first on the General Stars List, and Ji Xun, ranked second. Two top figures of the Eastern Seven Luminaries defeated consecutively. Who in the East can be his opponent?”

“Yes, it’s said that this time he came out of seclusion to challenge all four major military districts to prove his martial invincibility … a path to becoming a Sage!”

“Invincible is an exaggeration; there are countless masters in the military district who can deal with him. But we can’t deny that Dong Shengyi’s strength is indeed formidable, not an ordinary person.”

The discussions among several people caused Lu Sheng and Qin Shaojun to glance at each other in surprise.

Qin Shaojun directly flashed up, grabbed one of them by the shoulder, and asked, “Buddy, has Dong Shengyi started already?”

The man grabbed by Qin Shaojun was also a lieutenant colonel, not much weaker than him. His shoulder shook, displeased, “Who are you?”

Qin Shaojun was anxious, turned around and pointed at Lu Sheng, who was sitting quietly at the table, and said, “I’m asking for him!”

“Him?”

A group of people instinctively looked towards Lu Sheng. Not long after, someone in the crowd exclaimed, “It’s the number one on our Ninth War Zone General Stars List, Twelve Star General Lu Sheng, Lord Lu (TL: Alternatively “Sir Lu”)!”
