Logging 10,000 Years into the Future-Chapter 374

Chapter 374

On the gray spinning wheel, a blood-red long blade totem emblem gradually appeared.

Lu Sheng’s second dharma realm totem!

Compared to the previous whale riding waves, this blood-red long blade totem is clearer, more profound, and more powerful.

The dharma realm represents the perfected martial will of a grandmaster.

As fellow Level 9 Martial Sages, Gu Xuan with his Life Slaughtering Blade was clearly much stronger than Zhou Fuhai, who attained sagehood at Jiyun Mountain.

The boost to Lu Sheng’s combat power was also immense.

“My previous strongest cold weapon technique against opponents was the Level 4 spearmanship coordinating with the Cold Spirit Sparrow Prison Spear, but from now on, the strongest one will be …”

Lu Sheng casually waved the black longblade left behind by Gu Xuan.

The first three slashes he unleashed were each stunningly marvelous.

Suddenly the blade light shifted, slashing out a bloody aura, killing intent surging.

Then Lu Sheng abandoned his blade and switched to using his fists and feet.

His palms formed a blade, his arms swung like a sickle.

Every move, every form brimmed with the most primal killing intent.

If anyone was present, they would surely be struck with dread, almost able to see a sea of blood and mountain of corpses from Lu Sheng’s fists and feet.

“Too powerful!”

Lu Sheng stood with fists retracted, the killing aura around him completely contained.

“The Dao of Slaughter’ can be applied not just to blades, but any technique, my unarmed combat power has increased by no less than several times …”

The killing intent that Gu Xuan tempered through a lifetime of slaughter was his most powerful weapon, exceeding even his mastery of the blade.

“Coupled with the Yuanlun Blade Art, the fourth boundary peak has terrifying killing power …”

Lu Sheng casually toyed with the black longblade left by Gu Xuan, thinking: “In that case, I need to forge the Yuanlun Blade as soon as possible …”

Now Lu Sheng regretted a bit using 800 merits on crafting the Red Crystal Dragon Patterned spear’s shaft.

Had he known he would obtain such a powerful Life Slaughtering Blade as an inheritance, Lu Sheng would have directly abandoned spears for blades.

He walked the path of the Absolute Martial Dao, proficient in all skills, using whatever is strongest, switching freely without the reservations of other martial artists.

The next morning, Li Die walked with small steps to a certain room’s door and lightly knocked.

After waiting a moment, Li Die was about to leave. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Suddenly, a clear and calm voice came from inside the room.

“Come in.”

Li Die carefully pushed open the door and entered.

A figure stood by the huge floor-to-ceiling window with his back to her, looking out at the fountain garden below.

“Chief, breakfast is ready.”

“Good.”

The figure by the window turned around.

The morning sunlight shone on his shoulders, casting a faint golden glow over his entire body, making his divine form seem even more extraordinary.

Lu Sheng walked over calmly and casually waved his hand, instantly making the sunlight in the room more vibrant, as if going from morning to noon.

It was almost blinding.

Li Die instinctively closed her eyes, and when she reopened them, Lu Sheng had already passed her into the hallway.

Looking back at the room, everything seemed normal.

As if what just happened was merely an illusion.

“Uh …”

Li Die looked a bit dazed, a hint of bewilderment on her face.

But she quickly shook her head to dismiss it all and hurried to catch up.

During breakfast, Li Die reported to Lu Sheng: “Chief, the vehicles you selected have been delivered by the military this morning, would you like to take a look sometime?”

“Oh?”

Lu Sheng immediately stopped eating and radiated his spiritual power outward.

In an instant, it enveloped the entire manor.

He soon spotted three brand new vehicles at the parking area.

One was a military green off-road SUV, a rugged beast-like model.

Even in the wastelands, this type of vehicle could travel unobstructed, its body durable enough to withstand attacks from Level 5 exotic beasts and below.

Next was a black luxury sedan, and the latest supercar model.

Comparatively, that supercar was actually the least valuable of the three.

Its practicality and price were far lower than the previous two, essentially just a big toy.

Additionally, a black helicopter was parked on the manor’s lawn.

Both ground and air transportation were fully prepared for Lu Sheng, displaying the military’s treatment.

Lu Sheng gave them a cursory glance before returning to his breakfast.

He casually picked up a jelly made from some unknown beast meat and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly as he looked at the newspapers in front of him.

These were mainly military regional papers.

There were numerous newspapers, such as the Military General Report, the Eastern Military Region Daily, and the Ninth War Zone Bulletin, among others, totaling dozens of issues.

Lu Sheng’s spiritual sense could read extremely quickly, otherwise an ordinary person might not even finish them all in a day.

The papers mostly covered news about the various underground lairs, as well as some military information.

Suddenly Lu Sheng noticed a piece of news – [Preparation Underway for Grand Military Martial Arts Exhibition, Regional Military Competitions!]

“Grand military martial arts exhibition … regional military competitions …”

His eyes flickered as he continued searching for related content, gaining a general understanding of this event.

The grand military exhibition was a long-standing tradition of the military.

It existed even before the rise of martial arts, and after martial arts emerged, the military’s martial spirit was brought to the pinnacle.

“Preliminary Drills Begin in Each Military Region, Followed by Grand Competition in Overall Military Region. The competition will be divided into three levels under the General Star: Seven Star Generals and Eight Star Generals. The most crucial event is the Eight Star Generals competition. The winner of this martial arts contest will have the chance to become a candidate for the new Grand General!”

The entire Eastern Military Region only had five Grand Generals in total, while the whole Dragon Nation didn’t exceed thirty.

A new Grand General candidate – the importance of this event is self-evident.

Lu Sheng found a news article titled “Preview of Popular Figures for New Grand General Candidate at Grand Military Exhibition!”

Unexpectedly, he even saw his own name on it.

It briefly introduced his personal information and strength, and even included an evaluation below:

“Brimming with potential, may become the strongest favorite for the next exhibition, likely to rank in the top twenty this time.”

“Only hoping to rank in the top twenty with twelve and a half stars of combat power, it seems the military has quite a lot of top-level experts …”

Lu Sheng had never paid much attention to things like the General Star rankings that many martial artists fawned over.

He wasn’t very familiar with the top fighting forces of the various military regions.

Now he had some understanding …

Just at the general level, there were no less than five experts exceeding twenty stars of combat power.

The one considered the biggest favorite for this exhibition, currently ranked first on the overall Star Commander rankings with the nickname “Eastern Emperor” from the Central region, had an astonishing twenty-seven stars of combat power!

“For the Grand General level, their combat power is probably over thirty stars. Even higher for Marshals. Calculated this way, the military really does have a lot of experts. No wonder they are so obsessed with producing Level 9 Martial Sage experts. With such a vast base of top-tier martial artists, yet unable to produce even one Martial Sage, anyone would be vexed …”

Lu Sheng suddenly understood better why the Extreme Martial Sage so readily compromised with the military and spared him.
