Logging 10,000 Years into the Future - Chapter 391

Chapter 391

Lu Sheng’s meteoric rise in the Ninth War Zone had already spread legendary tales throughout the district.

Many people recognized him.

A group of lieutenant colonels immediately ran up to Lu Sheng and saluted in unison.

“Greetings, General!”

Each one had a look of excitement and joy, as if meeting an idol.

Lu Sheng glanced helplessly at the proud Qin Shaojun, who was using his name to his advantage, and asked, “Tell me in detail about Dong Shengyi.”

“Yes.”

Five minutes later, Lu Sheng and Qin Shaojun sat facing each other again.

Qin Shaojun’s expression was a bit solemn.

“I underestimated Dong Shengyi’s strength. He defeated the second star of the East with one move, and the first star, Sun Huanyu, couldn’t withstand even three moves from him. This is not just impressive; it’s terrifying! The Eastern Competition is imminent. This guy coming to challenge at this critical juncture is indeed arrogant. The title of Martial Sage is really useful; even the military district can’t do anything about him.”

Suddenly thinking of something, Qin Shaojun said to Lu Sheng, “You need to be careful. Dong Shengyi claims he wants to fight his way through the East, challenging one by one according to the rankings. Soon, it’ll be your turn. Moreover, with the connection to Dong Qingxue, you’re definitely going to be a prime target!”

Lu Sheng lowered his head, seemingly deep in thought.

Suddenly, he asked, “What’s the relationship between Dong Qingxue and Dong Shengyi?”

Qin Shaojun was taken aback, instinctively replying, “Why? Do you want Dong Qingxue to ask Dong Shengyi to skip you?”

“Of course not.”

Lu Sheng frowned slightly and said in a low voice, “I’m thinking, Dong Shengyi’s visit to the military district this time is clearly to use the opportunity to challenge the heroes and build his invincible martial momentum, which is very important for his future breakthrough to Martial Sage … And he is Dong Qingxue’s brother, which makes him my brother-in-law …”

“Yes, and then?”

Qin Shaojun was a bit confused.

“If he challenges me, he will definitely be defeated by me. His invincible momentum will be shattered before it even starts, making his prospects at being a Martial Sage slim. This would be like cutting off his martial path. Cutting off someone’s martial path is like killing their parents. Dong Shengyi would see me as a mortal enemy, and Instructor Dong would be caught between me and him, making it very difficult for her. Adding Dong Potian to the mix later on …  If I cripple her two brothers, our future relationship might become very strained …  Sigh …”

Lu Sheng sighed deeply, lamenting, “I’m really in a tough spot.”

Qin Shaojun stared at Lu Sheng for a long time, speechless.

After a while, he gave Lu Sheng a thumbs up.

“When it comes to acting tough, you’re the best, Lu Sheng. I concede!”

…

“Not worth mentioning.”

Dong Shengyi gently patted the dust off his clothes.

At this moment, he was standing at the entrance of a manor.

From Dong Shengyi’s location, a track of overturned soil, like it had been bulldozed, extended into the manor.

It stretched for more than a hundred meters and stopped at a broken fountain rockery.

A figure lay on its back in the fountain pool, clutching its chest, trying to stand up several times but failing.

Dong Shengyi turned around, and the crowd of observing generals parted to make way for him, their eyes filled with shock and awe as they watched him leisurely leave.

“He’s too strong.”

At a corner several kilometers away from the manor, Dong Qingxue looked complexly at the approaching figure, her eyes showing some emotion.

“Dong Shengyi has been hiding his strength for twenty years. His emergence this time will definitely amaze the entire nation …”

A girl with picturesque features beside Dong Qingxue said with a cheerful tone.

Dong Qingxue glanced at the girl, stayed silent for a while, and then asked, “Miss Lin, coming to the military district with my second brother this time, you must have important things to do, right?”

“Yes.”

The girl’s eyes were clear, her voice as melodious as a nightingale, and her entire being exuded an aura of freshness and purity.

She and Dong Qingxue were completely different types of beauties.

If Dong Qingxue was like the distant mountain snow, cold and hard to approach.

Then the girl was like the first ray of spring sunshine, with a glow and warmth untouched by the world.

“I am conducting research on exotic beast genes and need a large number of experimental samples, so I came along with Senior Brother Dong Shengyi. Speaking of which, I need your help with this, Sister Qingxue …”

Dong Qingxue’s expression changed slightly, just as she was about to inquire further.

At this moment, Dong Shengyi had already walked up to them.

“The overall strength of the Eastern Military District is indeed a bit weak …”

Dong Shengyi said flatly, “They are all just brute fighters with no real skill. Except for the top-ranked Sun Haoyu, the others are not worth mentioning.”

“It’s Sun Huanyu.”

The fresh-faced girl corrected him from the side.

“Same thing.”

Dong Shengyi waved nonchalantly, “Anyone who can’t take three moves from me is not worth remembering.”

The girl looked helpless.

“Oh, right, Qingxue.”

Dong Shengyi suddenly remembered something and said to Dong Qingxue, “Lin Wanwan should have told you, this time we came to the Eastern Military Region to go to the Catacombs. We need your help as a Spiritual Master …”

Lin Wanwan was the name of the fresh-faced girl.

A very ordinary name, like a little white rabbit.

But her father’s name was well-known throughout the Dragon Country.

Lin Zhengyue.

Lin Wanwan was the only daughter of the Transcendent Martial Sage, Lin Zhengyue.

“Which catacomb are you planning to go to? How many levels down?” Dong Qingxue thought for a moment and asked.

Dong Shengyi glanced at Lin Wanwan and smiled, “Of course, it’s a Class-SS catacomb, the deeper the better. The gene samples of higher-level exotic beasts are more valuable. Don’t underestimate Wanwan’s research. If it succeeds, the martial arts landscape of the entire world could undergo a revolutionary change. My chance at becoming a Martial Sage … also depends on her.”

“Senior Brother Dong, you’re teasing me again.” Lin Wanwan shook her head.

Dong Qingxue was surprised but didn’t say anything, just nodded in agreement.

“Alright, but you have to promise me one thing.”

Dong Shengyi smiled, “You can ask for anything. You’re about to advance to Master realm, right? I can …”

“Not that.”

Dong Qingxue shook her head and glanced towards the manor, “You plan to challenge the ranking on the Eastern General Stars List one by one, right?”

“Yes.”

Dong Shengyi nodded naturally, “Although they’re not challenging opponents, since I’m here, I’ll treat it as a warm-up. Why do you ask?”

Dong Qingxue took a deep breath and said seriously, “Then skip the fourth one.”

A strong light suddenly shot out from Dong Shengyi’s eyes. He quickly thought, as if searching for information in his mind.

Soon, Dong Shengyi found what he was looking for.

“The Twelve Star General Lu Sheng of the Ninth War Zone!”

Dong Shengyi’s eyes lit up, and with a gesture, without any visible movement, the mithril pendant around Dong Qingxue’s neck was already in his hand.

“This thing was given to you by him?”

Dong Shengyi’s expression was half-smiling as he looked deeply at Dong Qingxue, “Interesting, pure martial will. I’m suddenly interested in this fourth ranked General.”

Dong Qingxue’s face was expressionless as she coldly stared back at Dong Shengyi.

“Give it back to me, now.”
