Lin Zishan sighed and pressed her face against Zheng Dandan’s forehead. She hugged her gently and didn’t say anything else.

In the Eastern Military District.
“Fuck! Lu Sheng, this kid, is really something!”
Qin Shaojun stood up abruptly. The red wine in his hand spilled all over his body, but he didn’t care at all.
Dong Qingxue glanced at the red stains on the floor and said expressionlessly, “Help me mop the floor of my office later.”
“Sure, sure …” Qin Shaojun waved his hand generously and said with a smile, “I’m in a good mood today. Not to mention mop the floor, I’ll even scrub the toilet for you.”
Dong Qingxue glared at him in disgust and didn’t continue to talk nonsense with him. She retracted her gaze and looked at the screen in front of her.
The corners of her mouth unconsciously curled into a deep smile.
She was happy.
Seeing Lu Sheng, a martial arts seedling that they had discovered, and watching where he was today, they definitely felt proud.
However, more than that, it was complicated.
Unknowingly, Lu Sheng’s achievements in martial arts had already surpassed them. In the future, the gap between them would only widen.
“Master is probably overjoyed. He didn’t waste that Exotic Marrow Fluid back then for nothing …” Qin Shaojun said jubilantly.
Dong Qingxue shook her head and said, “Not necessarily.”
“What do you mean?”
Qin Shaojun was stunned. “Lu Sheng will come to our Eastern Military Region as soon as he graduates from university. Didn’t we agree on this long ago? Lu Sheng isn’t an ungrateful wretch, right?”
The Eastern Military Region had been sending exotic beast meat to Baihe City every month. Lu Sheng’s family was treated better than their family members in the military region.
“Lu Sheng won’t go back on his word, but if he really can’t come, then there’s nothing we can do …” Dong Qingxue said indifferently, “Don’t forget who’s behind the Seventh Sage Martial University. Martial Sage Tan Zhongyu has been eyeing Lu Sheng for a long time. After this National Martial Arts Conference, he might officially announce that he’s taking Lu Sheng in as his disciple … No matter how influential Master is, can he compare to the Martial Sage?”
Qin Shaojun nodded. It was hard to tell if he was disappointed or happy for Lu Sheng.
“What a pity. I thought I’d be able to go to the battlefield with Lu Sheng after a while …”
“That day will come. Even the Martial Sage’s disciple won’t just stay behind the high walls …”
Dong Qingxue comforted him casually. Then, her expression turned serious and she said, “Get ready. A new Catacombs rift has been discovered in battle zone 85. We’ll probably have to go on a mission in two days.”
“Sigh …” Qin Shaojun sighed and frowned. “We’ve only rested for a few days, and now we have to go to the battlefield again …”
At the same time, at a different place.
Some had interacted with Lu Sheng before, and some did not know him.
In front of the screen, outside the arena.
Countless people and countless pairs of eyes were focused on Lu Sheng.
Under the layers of halo and the attention of tens of thousands of people, Lu Sheng, who already had an outstanding appearance and temperament, shone even more brightly.
The young man stood quietly with his eyelids lowered. His fair and handsome face was like the flowing clouds on top of Jiyun Mountain.
Many people could not help but think of the words— Peerless elegance!
The young man who was like the wind and the moon, the rising star of the Dragon Nation.
The chairman of the conference, Level 8 Grandmaster, Jiang He, was also full of smiles. He looked at Lu Sheng with undisguised admiration.
He stepped forward and announced in a loud and clear voice, “On behalf of the National Martial Arts Association, I hereby announce that the champion of the National University Martial Arts Conference is …”
Just as Jiang He was about to say Lu Sheng’s name.
However, a voice suddenly interrupted him.
“Wait …”
The noisy scene suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked towards the source of the voice.
They were a little surprised to find that the speaker was Lu Sheng, the protagonist who was about to step onto the throne.
“I have a presumptuous request. I hope Chairman Jiang He can grant it.”
Lu Sheng raised his head and looked at Jiang He on the rostrum with a gentle expression. There was some sincerity on his face.
Jiang He paused and quickly nodded with a smile. “Lu Sheng, if you have any request, just say it.”
“Thank you, Chairman Jiang.”
Lu Sheng took two steps forward. Everyone was looking at him.
“In this conference, I came with the idea of appreciating the skills of heroes and honing my martial arts …” Lu Sheng spoke slowly. His voice was neither hurried nor slow.
Everyone listened in silence.
“However, so far, I feel very disappointed … I didn’t feel any pressure during this conference … it was dry and boring …”
Everyone in the field was stunned, and their faces gradually became unsightly.
What did Lu Sheng mean?
Was he saying that they were useless?
They could not even give him any pressure.
Although this was the truth, it was really embarrassing to say it in front of so many people and in front of a live television broadcast.
Some of the people who were fanatically worshipping Lu Sheng before began to change their attitude.
The people of the Seven Sage Universities looked at each other.
A vice-principal anxiously whispered, “What does Lu Sheng want to do? Become the target of all the martial arts schools in the country?”
Zhao Kangtai’s expression froze. He shook his head. “I don’t know. Based on my understanding of Lu Sheng, he’s not someone who’s so arrogant that he’ll forget himself after achieving his goal …”
Just as the crowd’s gazes on Lu Sheng gradually turned hostile, Lu Sheng’s words suddenly changed as he faced a certain direction.
“Especially the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy …” Lu Sheng said calmly, “Before I came, I thought that the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy was very powerful. I didn’t expect them to be trash fishing for fame. Of course, I’m not saying that they are all trash. It’s just that the so-called Extreme Dao Twins … They are really too weak. They haven’t even learned the slightest bit from the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy. They are just like chickens and clay moulded dogs…”
“Kid.”
A figure with smoke rising above his head strode out of the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy. He stared at Lu Sheng with a gloomy face. “What do you mean?”
Lu Sheng looked at the man and smiled.
He turned to Jiang He and said loudly in an extremely serious and sincere tone, “I want to use the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy to sharpen my martial will and break through to the Master level. The Extreme Dao Twins are useless. Therefore, I want to challenge the Extreme Dao Master, Lian Jibei. I hope … Chairman Jiang He will allow it!”
Lu Sheng’s words were like a nuclear bomb thrown into the crowd.
In an instant, the entire place went silent.
A few seconds later, it exploded again with a loud boom …
