Logging 10,000 Years into the Future-Chapter 464
Chapter 464
Only at the depths of the cave, there appeared to be a humanoid figure sitting quietly. The heartbeat sound was coming from this figure. The entire cave was filled with water ripples.
“Found it!” Dong Potian’s eyes brightened. He rushed forward, eager to get a closer look. Just as he approached the figure, and his blazing energy was about to illuminate the figure’s full form—In the dark cave passage, a pair of golden eyes suddenly snapped open!
Swish!
In an instant, the entire cave seemed to turn into daylight, with endless rays of light radiating from that figure.
Dong Potian’s pupils contracted sharply. Reflected in his eyes was a cold, handsome face that looked somewhat familiar.
Before he could react—the young man had already appeared in front of him like a ghost, staring coldly at him.
Dong Potian’s neck was suddenly gripped by an immense force.
Then, in the next second—
Boom!
The coral reef shattered. A figure, grabbed by the throat, was lifted rapidly towards the surface …
……
Boom!
On the calm surface of the sea, a figure suddenly broke through the water.
The enormous noise attracted countless people’s attention, and they all turned to look at the sea.
“The star generals have emerged!”
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
The first sound was just the beginning. Soon, more and more agile figures broke through the water from the seabed. Each one was a top-tier star general from various military regions, their postures graceful and their auras imposing.
They each carried cold weapons, dripping with water and exuding an intense killing intent as they emerged from the sea.
The soldiers and officers watching from the shore were all ecstatic. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Some began shouting and cheering.
This was to celebrate the return of the warriors and to mark the true climax of the military exercise.
“Dong Potian …”
A tall, handsome young man holding a long spear looked at the large screen in the distance, his face dark and filled with shock as he stared at the most prominent name at the top of the honor roll.
The other star generals shared similar expressions.
After emerging from the Abyssal Cave, everyone’s first reaction was naturally to check the honor roll to see their own results and rankings.
The name “Dong Potian” instantly caught their eye.
[Dong Potian, Merit Points: 7.5 million]
First place!
7.5 million!
That was nearly 4 million more than the second-place holder, Li Yao from the Southern Military Region.
“Is this guy even human?” One of the participating star generals cursed under his breath. “A few of us combined don’t even come close to his score …”
“Damn, there’s even someone with zero merit points?” Suddenly, a star general pointed at the honor roll and exclaimed.
The others followed his gaze, and their eyes landed on a name, causing them to burst into laughter.
“Unbelievable, it’s true.”
“Last place, with zero merit points … Did this guy sleep for three days in the Abyssal Cave? Didn’t kill a single sea monster?”
The conversation among the star generals was broadcast, and many people heard it.
A strange expression appeared on their faces, the kind where they were trying hard not to laugh. Many turned to look at the top generals and commanders from the Eastern Military Region.
He really did sleep for three days. During those three days, the merit points beside his name hadn’t moved at all.
Out of humanitarian concern, the big screen had switched to his footage several times each day. Every time they saw him, his eyes were closed, as if he were either sleeping or cultivating. He didn’t move once. If it weren’t for his communication wristwatch showing his life signals, people outside would have feared that he was already dead …
The faces of the people from the Eastern Military Region looked rather grim.
The Eastern Region Marshal was slightly better off, though his expression was gloomy.
Lu Sheng’s talent and strength were undeniable, and the marshal had expected him to bring glory to the Eastern Military Region in this military exercise.
But instead, this kid … had only managed to disgrace him.
Yu Xinghai and the others were nearly speechless, unable to comprehend what Lu Sheng was thinking.
As for the Eastern Seven Luminaries, the star generals from the Eastern Military Region who had also participated in the exercise, they were stunned, both shocked and ashamed.
Lu Sheng was recognized as the number one star general in the Eastern Military Region, and everyone had high hopes for him.
They had expected him to challenge for first place in the exercise. Instead, he had fallen to the very bottom …
The jokes about Lu Sheng quickly passed. People’s attention soon returned to the ongoing military exercise.
In total, more than sixty top-tier star generals had entered the Abyssal Cave, and they soon began emerging from the sea one by one. Thankfully, not a single one had died, though some were injured.
The star generals who had surfaced headed to the nearby alloy martial arts arenas to make minor adjustments, preparing for the more critical battle for merit points to come.
The big screen flashed through the faces of the star generals. The solemn expressions on their faces heightened the tense atmosphere of the entire arena.
Everyone was watching, waiting with anticipation. But as time passed, a hint of confusion appeared on some faces.
“Why hasn’t Dong Potian come out yet?”
“Lu Sheng hasn’t either.”
All eyes turned toward the big screen.
Dong Potian’s merit points had stopped increasing. This indicated that he had likely stopped hunting sea monsters and was heading back.
“With Dong Potian’s speed, even if he were ten thousand meters deep in the sea, he should have surfaced by now … Could something have happened?”
A general immediately ordered, “Bring up the surveillance footage for Dong Potian.”
Soon, the screen displayed the footage.
But before anyone could clearly see what was on the screen, a burst of bright light appeared. Then the screen began to shake violently, as if trembling uncontrollably …
At the same time, everyone watched in horror as—on the honor roll, the name of Dong Potian, which had been ranked first, suddenly dropped down.
Li Yao, originally in second place with 4 million merit points, rose to first place.
And Dong Potian’s merit points had shockingly halved to 3.75 million …
Moreover, another name quietly climbed up, right next to Dong Potian’s.
Lu Sheng, Merit Points … also 3.75 million!
In an instant, countless people jumped up from their seats, staring at the big screen in disbelief, wondering if their eyes had deceived them.
Or perhaps …
It was all an illusion.
