Chapter 82 — A Month Ago, He Beat Everyone in the Training Camp Into Submission
"Lu Sheng, you came to find me as soon as you came back. What's the matter?" Xiao Yuhe gave Lu Sheng a crazed look, hinting that he shouldn't give Old Man Xia the chance to show off.
Lu Sheng laughed in his heart, but he still took out a document sealed in kraft paper from his backpack and handed it to Xiao Yuhe.
"The Training Camp's Chief Instructor, Dong Qingxue, asked me to pass this to you. She hopes that you can approve it.”
"What kind of document would the Chief Instructor of the Training Camp give to a small Baihe City Martial Arts Association President for approval?"
Before Xiao Yuhe could say anything, Old Man Xia, who was beside him, leaned his head over. He glanced at Lu Sheng and said with a strange expression, "Young man, did you do something wrong in the training camp that made Old Xiao, the one who recommended you, take the blame for you?"
Lu Sheng couldn't be bothered with him.
He could tell.
This old man was really annoying. No wonder Xiao Yuhe's face was so ugly when he came in. He was probably angered by him.
"It's none of your business. Shut your mouth!" Xiao Yuhe scolded Old Man Xia, then tore open the kraft paper and took out the document inside. Xiao Yuhe's gaze quickly swept through the contents of the document.
At first, it was calm. When his gaze swept to a certain part, suddenly … Xiao Yuhe's hand that was holding the document trembled violently.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Sheng in front of him. His eyes widened, and his face revealed an extremely shocked and incredulous expression.
"You … You …" Xiao Yuhe's voice trembled as he spoke.
"When did you break through to become a Level 3 Martial Artist?"
Old Man Xia, who was standing beside Xiao Yuhe, stopped sipping on his tea. He raised his head and looked at Xiao Yuhe with an expression that said he doubted his ears. "Ah?"
No one bothered with him.
"About a month ago," Lu Sheng said calmly. “The Chief Instructor of the Training Camp tested me. She said that the military region has the qualifications to certify a martial artist's strength. I just need you to stamp it."
"Qualified, of course you're qualified! You're too qualified! Your Chief Instructor represents the Eastern Military Region!"
Xiao Yuhe's entire person came alive in an instant. His back became straight, his face was radiant, and his eyebrows were raised as if they were dancing.
He was like a completely different person!
"I'll stamp it for you now!" Xiao Yuhe was elated, and his face was flushed red. He took the document and was about to walk to the back of the office desk to look for the official seal.
However, Old Man Xia grabbed him.
"Wait!"
Old Man Xia screamed at the top of his lungs. "Show me the documents! Seventeen years old, Level 3 Martial Artist … Is this for real? Don't tell me he got a fake document from somewhere to fool you?"
Old Man Xia looked at Lu Sheng from head to toe in surprise.
A seventeen-year-old Level 3 Martial Artist. It was a completely different concept from a 17-year-old Level 2 Martial Artist.
Even though the two of them were only one level apart, there was a difference of 90 BQV between them. It wasn't something that could be easily bridged.
The difference in talent between the two was like heaven and earth.
If he really was a seventeen-year-old Level 3 Martial Artist, then his martial arts talent was terrifying, almost comparable to his granddaughter Xia Lin's spiritual master talent.
How could this "ordinary" kid in front of him be a Level 3 Martial Artist? How could she compare to his precious granddaughter? Old Xia couldn't accept this and was filled with doubt.
Before Lu Sheng could speak, Xiao Yuhe had already retorted. "Can't you see the huge steel seal of the Eastern Military Region? Fake documents? Go get me a fake document so that I too can see it for myself!"
Old Man Xia's face turned red from Xiao Yuhe's rebuke. He couldn't help but shout, "So what if it's real? There are Level 3 Martial Artists everywhere. They're just a bit younger. They're still not as strong as my granddaughter!"
Xiao Yuhe glanced at Old Man Xia and sneered, "Then what if it's a Level 3 Martial Artist with a CPI of more than 270,000, almost reaching the standard of a Level 5 Martial Artist?"
"270,000? CPI!" Old Man Xia almost couldn't breathe.
He swallowed his saliva and said in disbelief, "Give me the documents. Let me see!"
Xiao Yuhe didn't stop him and let Old Man Xia snatch the documents away.
Old Man Xia's eyes quickly scanned the documents, and shock slowly crept onto his face. Finally, he jerked his head up and stared at Lu Sheng in disbelief.
"You're someone who was eliminated early from the training camp. How can you have a Combat Power Index of 270,000?"
Lu Sheng looked straight into Old Man Xia's eyes and said calmly, "I didn't say I was eliminated. It's just something you made up yourself."
"Then why did you come back early before the training ended?" Old Man Xia questioned.
Lu Sheng said calmly, "For me, the training could have ended a month ago. I just chose to come back now."
"Oh, right, President Xiao …" Lu Sheng turned to look at Xiao Yuhe and said, "The Chief Instructor wants you to call her back. She's afraid that you won't believe this document and wants to verify it with you in person."
"Hahaha, why wouldn't I believe it? Am I such paranoid person?" Xiao Yuhe laughed heartily. When he said "paranoid," he specially glanced at Old Man Xia beside him.
"But I still have to make this call …" Xiao Yuhe took out his phone and said with a smile, "I heard that the Chief Instructor of this training camp is a famous genius in the Eastern Military Region. Let's pay our respects and make a video call."
After he said that, Xiao Yuhe made the video call on his phone.
Old Man Xia stared at the screen of Xiao Yuhe's phone without blinking. Soon, the video call connected, and Dong Qingxue's figure appeared on the screen.
Dong Qingxue didn't seem to be in the office. Strange noises could be heard from time to time. It was the sound of something flying through the air.
"President Xiao Yuhe from Baihe City?" Dong Qingxue looked a little surprised, but she quickly gained her composure and greeted Xiao Yuhe seriously.
"That's me. I'm Xiao Yuhe. Hello, Chief Instructor Dong." Xiao Yuhe replied with a smile.
"Hello, President Xiao. I’m guessing Lu Sheng has returned to the Baihe City… "
Dong Qingxue's gaze fell on Old Man Xia, who was craning his neck to look around. She couldn't help but frown and ask, "This is?"
Old Man Xia puffed out his shrivelled chest and said, "I'm Xia Weixing from Baoding City!"
Dong Qingxue shook her head. "I don't know you."
Old Man Xia, "…"
Old Man Xia looked embarrassed. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and quickly said, "I'm Xia Lin's grandfather!"
It worked this time. Dong Qingxue looked enlightened and said calmly, "Hello, Grandpa Xia."
Old Man Xia heaved a sigh of relief, but he felt a little helpless. After living for so long, he didn't expect that he still had to rely on his granddaughter's name to be recognized. How sad.
At that moment, a small head suddenly popped out from behind Dong Qingxue and looked at the screen and cried out in surprise.
"Grandpa! Where are you? Why are you video-chatting with Chief Instructor Dong?"
Old Man Xia saw Xia Lin and immediately became excited. However, before he could say anything to Xia Lin, Dong Qingxue turned around and scolded coldly, "Xia Lin, did you achieve the goal I set for you? You still have the energy to be distracted? You’ll be doing ten times the usual today!"
"Yes, Chief Instructor Dong …" Xia Lin replied meekly and disappeared from the screen.
Old Man Xia's heart ached, but he was too embarrassed to say anything. Even if he said anything, judging by the Chief Instructor's personality, she probably wouldn't give him any face.
"Alright, I'll let you get back to business, Chief Instructor Dong. If you two want to chat, go ahead."
Xiao Yuhe pushed Old Man Xia aside and said to Dong Qingxue on the screen, "Chief Instructor Dong, I've read the document you asked Lu Sheng to bring to me. I'll get it done for him soon."
"Alright."
Dong Qingxue nodded. "Sorry to trouble you, President Xiao."
"What trouble are you talking about? Lu Sheng is the pride of our Baihe City!"
Xiao Yuhe laughed and asked, "By the way, Chief Instructor Dong, the training isn't over yet. Why is Lu Sheng back early?"
When Old Man Xia heard this, he immediately pricked up his ears.
Then, he heard Dong Qingxue reply calmly, "Oh, it's like this. A month ago, we decided that Lu Sheng would represent the Dongning Province's Prodigy Training Camp to participate in the Qiming General Selection of the entire Eastern Province.
"He's considered the strongest genius in this training camp, so this training is considered to have ended early for him. All he needs to do now is to prepare for the Qiming General Selection …"
Xiao Yuhe and Old Man Xia could no longer hear Dong Qingxue's words. It was as if someone had taken a gong and beat it hard in their ears.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Only a few words echoed in their minds.
Qiming General Selection … Recognized as the strongest …
Xiao Yuhe suddenly turned to look at Lu Sheng. The look in his eyes had completely changed. He had already thought that Lu Sheng was a genius and outstanding enough, but he didn't expect that he had still underestimated him.
Of course, Xiao Yuhe knew what the Qiming General Selection was. Compared to this event, the Prodigy Training Camp was nothing!
It was a grand event that only the top geniuses in the entire Eastern Region were qualified to participate. Only one person from each province was qualified to participate.
There were only a few dozen people in the entire Eastern Region.
As for Lu Sheng, he was the only one in the entire Dongning Province!
Most importantly, this was something that had been confirmed a month ago.
What did this mean?
This meant that Lu Sheng had already beaten the entire Prodigy Training Camp into submission a month ago. He had directly gotten the Chief Instructor to confirm his candidancy.
Just how great was the gap in strength and talent between them to be able to confirm the situation so early? At that moment, Xiao Yuhe felt like he was drinking a glass of hundred-year-old iced wine on a hot summer day.
His old face quickly flushed with excitement, but he felt extremely refreshed from the inside out.
"Alright, Instructor Dong. I will definitely supervise Lu Sheng's cultivation during this period of time and strive to get him a good ranking in the Qiming General Selection. He won't embarrass the entire Dongning Province!"
Xiao Yuhe said all those words in a single breath. He was too excited.
His every movement seemed to carry the wind. He was in indescribable good mood and high spirits!
