Chapter 116

Shangguan Ling laughed and looked at the indifferent young man beside him. He said, “Zhao Lie, three Grade 5 Exotic Marrow should be enough for your flame control talent to advance to the next level.”

The indifferent young man had a mocking smile on his face. Rings of red flames appeared around him.

“Of course. Zhao Lie thanks Instructor Dong Qingxue.”

“Elemental-type talent?!” Dong Qingxue’s pupils constricted and her face soured.

Qin Shaojun cursed, “Fuck you, Shangguan Ling. How dare you cheat! Elemental-type talent shouldn’t be written in the data!”

Shangguan Ling’s expression was extremely smug. He laughed and said, “Who said that everything must be written down? You’re stupid! Three Grade 5 Exotic Marrow, hahaha …”

With that, Shangguan Ling left with the young man named Zhao Lie.

When the two figures were completely out of sight …

Dong Qingxue, who had a hideous expression, and Qin Shaojun, who was so angry that his face was flushed red, returned to normal. They looked at the two figures and said the same word at the same time.

“Idiot!”

Lu Sheng, “…”

“What do you think? My performance just now was not bad, right? Did it feel like I was acting?” Qin Shaojun said to Lu Sheng with a grin.

Dong Qingxue’s face was also full of sarcasm. “It’s an unspoken rule to hide part of one’s strength in the data. Only an idiot like Shangguan Ling would think that I would do that. Elemental-type talent is powerful, indeed. I wonder how it compares to a Level 3 Spiritual Master?”

“Don’t say that. It makes me want to laugh again … Hahaha …” Qin Shaojun could not help but cover his mouth.

Lu Sheng looked at the two of them as if he was meeting them for the first time. He could not help but feel deep sympathy for Shangguan Ling, who was still immersed in his pride.

He did not know how that big idiot got to the position of a Colonel. Wasn’t he just a simpleton?

“The Shangguan family has never been on good terms with our Dong family and the Qin family. Shangguan Ling is also famous for his foul mouth. Every time we meet, he will say something sarcastic to us. Do your best, Lu Sheng. Whether we can smash his face this time depends on your performance …”

Qin Shaojun patted Lu Sheng’s shoulder earnestly and said, “If you help us win this round, I’ll give you my Grade 5 Exotic Marrow.”

“I’ll try my best.” Lu Sheng said.

Qin Shaojun’s face fell instantly. “You don’t have any confidence in your words. I suddenly regret agreeing to Shangguan Ling’s bet.”

“Alright, we’re about to enter.” Dong Qingxue reminded him and then led the two of them forward.

A huge elevator column stood in the middle of the square. Almost every elevator had a combination of an officer and a young man standing in front of it. The young man walked into the elevator and went down.

It was obvious that the Qiming General Selection that Lu Sheng and the others were going to attend was to be held below the base.

Dong Qingxue and Qin Shaojun walked Lu Sheng to an elevator and pressed the button.

“We’ll leave you here. There will be people who will explain the rules of the selection to you …”

Lu Sheng nodded and walked into the elevator.

Seeing that the elevator door was about to close, Dong Qingxue suddenly took a step forward and stared into Lu Sheng’s eyes. She said very seriously, “Lu Sheng, are you confident in this selection? I’m talking about the Qiming General Selection!”

Qin Shaojun also looked at Lu Sheng expectantly.

Lu Sheng shook his head and said, “A little, but not a lot.”

Dong Qingxue and Qin Shaojun looked disappointed when they saw him like this. However, they still did not give up. “How much is not a lot?”

In the next second, they saw Lu Sheng, who was in the slowly closing elevator door, speak with a calm expression.

“Just 99%. If I’m suddenly disqualified now, I’ll still lose this competition.”

Ting!

The elevator door closed completely, and the elevator went down. Outside the elevator, Dong Qingxue and Qin Shaojun were stunned.

A few seconds later, they heard Qin Shaojun’s speechless but joyful voice.

“Fuck, I was just saying that this kid isn’t confident. It turns out that he’s more confident than anyone else!” 𝚏ree𝚠𝚎𝐛nove𝚕.com

“The selection hasn’t started yet. Wait a moment.” The female officer’s attitude was cold as she spoke to Lu Sheng, then lowered her head to look at the information.

Lu Sheng stood quietly in place and waited.

After about fifteen minutes, the female officer raised her head and listened to the wireless earpiece in her ear for a while. Then, she said to Lu Sheng, “Get ready. It’s about to start.”

Lu Sheng nodded.

Then, he heard a beep from the metal door in front of him.

The door slowly rose up.

A five-meter-long passage appeared in front of Lu Sheng.

“After you go in, just keep going up. Your instructor must have informed you that you’ll be facing real exotic beasts in this selection …”

The female officer’s expression was serious. “You have to deal with every beast you meet on the way. If you pass on a beast, you will be eliminated. If you run, you will also be eliminated. Because on the battlefield, these two choices will lead to death. But don’t worry, there will be people watching over you throughout the selection. If you really can’t hold on, you can ask, and they will come out to help you. If you are lucky enough to be the first to finish, then congratulations …”

“You will be the only Enlightened Star General in the entire Qiming General Selection this year.”

Lu Sheng nodded.

Looking at it this way, the criteria for this selection was speed.

At this time, the metal door had completely risen.

The female officer gave Lu Sheng a look. “Go in when you are ready.”

Lu Sheng strode into the passage.

The metal door slowly fell behind him, and the female officer’s last words came in.

“Kid from Dongning Province, good luck.”

“Thank you.” Lu Sheng replied softly.

Kacha —

The metal door closed completely. Lu Sheng spread out his spiritual power and clearly sensed that something was waiting for him in front.

Huff, huff, huff—

The sound of heavy breathing accompanied Lu Sheng’s slow approach. A two-meter-tall, five-meter-long beast appeared in front of him.

This beast looked a little like a wild boar, but its mouth was full of dense, one-foot-long protruding teeth.

Its body was covered in a dark gray mane, and its two-meter-long tail was almost entirely made of black poisonous spikes.

“Level 2 Black-toothed Saber Boar …” Lu Sheng grinned at the monster, revealing a row of neat, snow-white teeth. “I’ve eaten your flesh!”

The next moment, Lu Sheng’s figure disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was right above the Black-toothed Saber Boar’s head.

Roar!

The Black-toothed Sabre Boar let out an ear-piercing growl. Its eyes were incomparably red, and its entire body emitted a cruel and tyrannical aura.

“Pegasus …” Lu Sheng raised his right fist, his eyes blazing like stars, and softly uttered a name that only he could understand.

“Meteor Fist!*”

[*A Saint Seiya reference.]

Boom!

As the fist landed, the back half of the enormous Black-toothed Boar’s body exploded. It was like a black sack with the bottom leaking out.

The terrifying power of the fist penetrated its body and exploded, forming a fan-shaped bloody area behind the Black-toothed Sabre Boar.

It was a complete mess.

“So weak?” Lu Sheng landed lightly and looked at his fist.

Although it was only a Level 2 Exotic Beast, logically speaking, it shouldn’t be that weak.

“It seems like I’ve become stronger …” Lu Sheng fell into deep thought.

During the battle just now, he naturally entered the first form of the Absolute Martial Path.

This was a very strange state.

Lu Sheng’s control over his own power had reached an unprecedented and unimaginable level. So much so that even without using any force exertion techniques, his basic fist strength had reached an astonishing level. One punch was enough to blow up a Level 2 Black-toothed Sabre Boar.

“Condensing power, exploding at a fixed point, identifying weaknesses … It’s as if I’ve reached an omniscient and omnipotent state.”

“Omniscient, omnipotent.”
