Chapter 131

They walked to the door to the large conference hall. When they pushed the door open and entered, everyone inside looked at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng saw Dong Qingxue and Qin Shaojun, as well as Shangguan Ling and his subordinate, Zhao Lie. The youths who participated in the selection and their chief instructors were all there.

Xing Zhi and the other two, whom he had met in the selection passage earlier were also present.

Each of them was wearing the special military uniform of the Eastern Military Region, but the colour of the stripes on their uniform different.

Most of them were bronze. Xing Zhi and the other two were silver. Only Lu Sheng’s was gold.

Kong Qing, who was dressed in the military uniform, stood ramrod straight. She looked down and did not look at anyone. But when Lu Sheng’s gaze fell on her, her cheeks began to turn red, and her arms seemed to be trembling slightly.

Lu Sheng also noticed a middle-aged man in military uniform with a golden star on his shoulder. He had an imposing air about him.

He guessed that this person should be the person in charge of this selection, Major General Yu Feiyi of the Eastern Military Region.

When Yu Feiyi saw Lu Sheng enter, it was as if he was a senior looking at a junior. His face was full of smiles as he called Lu Sheng over.

"Not bad, not bad. It bears quite a resemblance to our Eastern Military Region's Young Marshal …"

"…"

Upon hearing these words, many officers in the room instinctively trembled. The title of Young Marshal of the Military Region was not something to be taken lightly.

At this moment, almost all the eyes in the conference hall were focused on Lu Sheng. There was astonishment, envy, awe, curiosity…

Many of the young participants had never seen Lu Sheng before. They had entered the selection process and then ended it in a daze. It was only later that they learned about Lu Sheng's illustrious achievements from their respective instructors.

He cleared the stage with nine punches. Insta-killing the quasi-Level 5 Exotic Beast, Golden-eyed Demonic Ape, with a single punch.

Young Master*.

[Again, Level 7 Martial Artists are called Masters.]

Level 3 Spiritual Master.

He even dared to disguise himself as a gatekeeper and played a trick on the top three geniuses.

And the latter three could not even withstand a single move from Lu Sheng.

Simply demonic deeds.

It was like listening to a fairy tale.

It was really difficult to associate all of these deeds with the handsome and tall young man in front of them.

Shangguan Ling and Zhao Lie deserved to be called the pair with the worst expressions in the room.

Their expressions were as ugly as if they had just woken up early in the morning and finished eating three bowls shit.

Xing Zhi and Jia Haoran’s expressions were complicated. They looked at Lu Sheng with eyes full of resentment, but more than that, there was fear and helplessness.

Lu Sheng may have tricked them, but his strength was truly formidable.

The two of them were still traumatized by the experience in the selection passage.

As for Kong Qing.

She did not raise her head from the beginning. There was probably only one thought left in her mind.

He can’t see me. He can’t see me. He can’t see me!

“Since everyone is here, let’s begin.” Yu Feiyi announced calmly.

Immediately after, the officers presented badges and rewards one by one.

The whole process was quite a dull affair.

The genius representatives of each province who participated in the selection, regardless of their ranking, received a special badge issued by the Eastern Military Region.

Normal participants’ badges were made of brass, similar to the material of the martial artist badge.

Xing Zhi and the other two’s badges were made of silver.

And Lu Sheng’s was a brilliant gold.

No one knew what material it was made of. Even in the dim environment, it still shone brightly.

Yu Feiyi personally put it on Lu Sheng.

Like treating his own nephew, he patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: “This is exactly the same material as the Master badge, only the style is a bit different. I hope that one day, you can wear a true Master badge.”

Lu Sheng’s expression was solemn. He said calmly: “It won’t be long, Commander.”

Yu Feiyi was taken aback, then laughed, looking at Lu Sheng with even more fondness. 𝓯𝓇𝘦𝘦𝑤ℯ𝓫𝑛𝓸𝑣𝓮𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓶

The others had complicated expressions.

Only Lu Sheng would dare say such words, and it did not make people feel like he was being conceited, but as if he was just stating a matter of course.

Moreover, there were Enlightened Star Generals in the Eastern Military Region every year, but they didn’t receive the same treatment from Yu Feiyi like Lu Sheng did.

Lu Sheng was the first.

Then the top ten were each rewarded with a portion of Exotic Blood.

Lu Sheng also received a portion.

It was a small vial, containing about three hundred millilitres of crimson liquid. If not for the fact that he was going to take it back for Lu Qinghe, Lu Sheng would have opened it and tried it.

“Well, Lu Sheng, you four follow me, the rest of you are dismissed.” Yu Feiyi waved his hand and led the way out of the conference hall.

Lu Sheng, Xing Zhi and the other two followed along with their respective chief instructors. The rest could only look at them with envy.

They knew that they were going to enter the Exotic Blood Pool and the Exotic Marrow Pool.

The rewards for this year’s Qiming General Selection were unprecedentedly generous.

As long as one was in the top three, they were qualified to enter the Exotic Blood Pool. Because of the appearance of Lu Sheng, Yu Feiyi was in a good mood and even added an extra slot.

Thinking of the four who were about to enter a pool filled with Exotic Blood and Marrow, the young man who was rewarded with the vial looked at his hand and suddenly felt that it wasn’t as good after all.

After walking for about five or six minutes, Lu Sheng and the others followed Yu Feiyi to a bright room full of instruments and test tubes.

Several officers in white coats were busy inside. When they saw Yu Feiyi come in, they stopped what they were doing and saluted him.

“Commander.”

“Is it ready?”

“Everything is ready. You may enter right away.”

“Good.”

Yu Feiyi turned to Lu Sheng and the others and said, “Change your clothes and get ready to enter the chamber.”

“Yes.” Lu Sheng, Xing Zhi and the other three were led to different positions in the room.

Lu Sheng saw a two-meter tall, one-meter wide incubation chamber in front of him, half filled with pale golden liquid.

Is this the Exotic Marrow?

Lu Sheng looked curiously at the amber-like pale golden liquid flowing slowly through the transparent glass. He couldn’t help but ask the female officer beside him, “Why is it only half filled? Why isn’t it full?”

The female military officer rolled her eyes and said unhappily, “Less than half? Do you know how much it costs to make all this Exotic Marrow here? More than 1.5 billion yuan. And that’s just the cost. If you sell it, the price will be at least ten times higher! You still want to fill it up?”

Lu Sheng nodded in amazement, then said seriously, “What if it’s not enough for me to absorb? Can I get a refill?”

“Are you going in or not?” The female officer was a bit annoyed.

“Right away.” Lu Sheng hurriedly began to undo the buttons on his uniform, looking left and right at the same time.

“Where are the clothes I’m supposed to change into?”

“It will be optimal if you enter without any clothes.”

“Then do you want me to change here?”

The female officer looked at Lu Sheng and couldn’t help but snort. “Do you think you’ll be losing out on something with me being here? Don’t worry little brother, I have kids.”
