Logging 10,000 Years into the Future-Chapter 460
Chapter 460
“Where is Lu Sheng?” The marshal of the Eastern Region frowned and turned to ask Yu Xinghai, who stood behind him.
Yu Xinghai smiled wryly and replied, “I’m not sure. He arrived at the military base days ago but has been locked in his room for closed-door training. I didn’t want to disturb him, so I left him be. Who would have thought he’d miss such a major event like the Grand Military Martial Arts Exhibition …”
“Closed-door training?” The marshal of the Eastern Region thought for a moment and then said, “Let him be. No need to disturb him.”
The news of Lu Sheng’s eight-thousand-mile pursuit and his killing of the five demon pillars of the Black Devil Society had already spread among the top ranks of the military.
He was already regarded as the brightest rising star in the military, considered by all the marshals to have the greatest potential to become a Martial Sage.
His importance far surpassed that of the so-called “Eastern Emperor,” Dong Potian.
Though the Eastern Region marshal had wanted Lu Sheng to bring glory to the Region in this competition, such matters were trivial compared to his quest to become a Martial Sage.
At this moment, an officer hurried over and whispered a few words into Yu Xinghai’s ear.
Yu Xinghai’s eyes brightened, and he quickly reported to the marshal, “Marshal, Lu Sheng has arrived.”
Following the officer’s direction, the two of them soon spotted a handsome young man in combat attire quietly appearing among the Eastern Region general star group.
The Eastern Region marshal’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a smile tugged at his lips as he nodded.
“Good. Lu Sheng is here. That’s what matters.”
…
“What a shame …” Standing on a small warship, surrounded by the Eastern Region’s general stars—including the Seven Luminaries—Lu Sheng quietly observed the scene.
These individuals didn’t look particularly happy, their expressions revealing a hint of frustration.
The Eastern Region’s entrance had been far less impressive than that of the other Regions, with barely any screen time—almost as if they were being bullied.
But now that Lu Sheng had arrived, they felt a bit more at ease.
Only those from the Eastern Region knew that their “Blazing Sun Prodigy” might not be inferior to the so-called “Eastern Emperor.”
Lu Sheng, however, paid no attention to these matters. His focus was entirely inward.
At this moment, seventeen immortal cells between his eyebrows were emitting a faint, sacred glow …
***
During these past few days, Lu Sheng had almost utilized all the resources available to him.
By borrowing Yu Xinghai’s authority, he requisitioned a large batch of Level 8 Exotic Marrow from the Central military Region.
After days of tireless cultivation, Lu Sheng increased his number of Immortal Cells by another four.
“Although it falls short of my original goal, at least there’s still time, and I can continue during the martial trials …”
There were still about ten bottles of the Level 8 Exotic Marrow left. By absorbing all of them, he should be able to increase the number of Immortal Cells to twenty.
The main issue was that the Immortal Cells always liked to “fight for food.” Each time a new Immortal Cell was born, the previously formed ones would aggressively collect a “toll” from the newcomer.
This peculiar rule made it so that each successive Immortal Cell required more and more energy to form.
Of course, there were benefits as well: the strength of the first Immortal Cell had now grown to nearly three times that of the newest one.
The color of the newly born Immortal Cells was a pale gold, while the first cell was a bright golden color, almost like it was made of pure gold, solidifying its position as the leader.
The cells ranked behind it gradually became lighter in color.
“Even so, the future predicted by the Fireseed Repository has already changed …” Lu Sheng thought silently to himself.
Before coming to participate in the martial trials, he had taken a look at his personal file in the Fireseed Repository, as well as his future trajectory.
After his number of Immortal Cells reached seventeen, his original fate of “being killed by the Martial Sage at the coast of Ninghai at the age of twenty” had changed to—severely injured leading to a close escape!
Three years later, he would rise again, challenge the Martial Sage, and slay him at Mount Sage of Ruins!
He would be titled the Absolute and be hailed as the strongest beneath the heavens …
This was now aligned with his earliest foreseen trajectory.
“So, this is how one carves out their own destiny, right?”
However … Lu Sheng raised his head and gazed at the azure sky, a surge of emotion welling up in his heart.
“Severely injured leading to a close escape … this future is not the one I want.” He sighed softly and lowered his head.
At this moment, the star-ranked soldiers of the five military Regions were entering the arena.
The Dragon Nation’s Grand Military Martial Arts Exhibitions had officially begun.
“This time, the trials will be calculated based on merit points …” A high-ranking general from the central military Region took a step forward, his voice filled with strength and authority, reverberating like thunder over the sea.
“During the trials, all star-ranked soldiers may attack one another. The defeated will lose half of their merit points to the victor … No killing! Anyone who violates this rule will be immediately disqualified from the trials and will be court martialled accordingly. The trials will last for three days in total. Now …” 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
The central general’s voice paused for a moment before he commanded with authority: “Let the star-ranked soldiers begin the trials!”
“Let the star-ranked soldiers begin the trials!”
Countless sailors across the sea roared in unison.
Though there were no war drums beating, the simultaneous firing of numerous warship cannons echoed across the water. The overwhelming momentum shook the sea and reached the clouds.
Members of the star-ranked soldiers from the five major military Regions rose amidst the grand display, stepping forward to the abyss of the sea.
All the drones and underwater cameras began operating, covering the entire sea area.
The rules of the Grand Military Martial Arts Exhibitions were simple: Slay exotic beasts, battle your comrades.
To be crowned first in the trials required both indomitable courage and unrivaled combat strength!
The star-ranked soldiers from the five military Regions plunged into the sea like dragons, with Dong Potian leading the charge, crashing into the abyss like a massive torpedo.
Originally, the star-ranked soldiers from the Eastern Military Region had planned to follow behind Lu Sheng.
But in the blink of an eye, Lu Sheng had vanished, silently entering the water.
The seawater passed over Lu Sheng’s head but was kept a few meters away from his body by an invisible force.
This was the power of a grandmaster’s qi shield.
All star-ranked soldiers entering the water had similar protection.
Today, Lu Sheng wore a specially designed underwater combat suit, with his inner wheel blade sheathed and strapped to his back. The outer wheel blade was disassembled into thousands of small pieces, distributed across his body in numerous pockets and attached to the outer side of his skin.
Twelve bottles of Level 8 Exotic Marrow were strapped tightly around his waist like grenades.
Lu Sheng hadn’t come to kill exotic beasts and compete for first place in the trials; he just wanted to find a quiet place to cultivate.
