Logging 10,000 Years into the Future

Chapter 356

The young man’s attitude became even more respectful.

Afterwards, he led Lu Sheng and the group to a room at the left side of the lobby, opened the door for them, and gestured for them to enter.

It wasn’t until everyone had entered that he finally relaxed.

His expression changed to one of astonishment and disbelief.

“Oh my god, a 19-year-old Star General! What kind of monster has the military recruited this time …”

There were Martial Masters everywhere in the Star General District, and many of them were well-preserved. He had seen young-looking Martial Master youths who appeared younger than Lu Sheng.

But the age on the record was real, it couldn’t be faked.

A 19-year-old Star General … You couldn’t find a second one even if you searched all twelve war zones in the East.

No wonder he was so shocked.

Thinking that he himself was over forty, yet only at Level 5 …

The young military officer suddenly felt indescribably dejected.

No matter how many Martial Masters he had seen before, even Level 8 Grandmasters, none of them had given him this kind of feeling.

Lu Sheng and the Tiger Scorpion Squad members entered the room. After going in, they realized the space inside was very large and extremely spacious.

Around twenty large chairs were arranged on both sides of the room, with seven or eight people either standing or sitting.

In the center of the room was a huge crystal pillar connected to the ceiling.

Four or five people were standing beside the crystal pillar.

As Lu Sheng and the others entered, one of the men, wearing a combat suit and full of imposing aura, was about to strike the crystal pillar.

Boom!

With the eruption of ferocious qi and blood, it was as if a raging furnace had suddenly appeared in the room.

The temperature rose sharply by a few degrees, and there was a strange flash of light.

That was the radiance of his martial intent bursting forth.

Bang!

The imposing man fiercely punched toward the crystal pillar.

His arm disappeared and reappeared in the air.

A visible white cone cloud appeared in front of him, and the crystal pillar seemed to shake slightly, or maybe not.

It wasn’t until the imposing man retracted his punch and stood still that the sonic boom and the sound of his fist hitting the crystal pillar rang out.

Then Lu Sheng saw the crystal pillar start flickering frantically.

A star the size of a fist in the middle of the crystal pillar lit up, followed by a second one.

But it soon stopped.

A total of one and a half stars.

If it weren’t for the glowing, Lu Sheng might not have noticed that there were star patterns engraved on the crystal pillar from the middle upwards, each one like a lustrous white jade.

With a rough glance, there were at least a dozen of them.

“Awesome!”

After the imposing man landed that punch, the people surrounding him immediately burst into exclamations of amazement and admiration.

“As expected of the captain, the second star is already over a quarter lit up. Your combat power must have surpassed 16 million points!”

“If the captain punched me with that, he might knock the crap out of me!”

“Ah, I wish I was half as strong as the captain.”

“At this rate of progress, the captain will likely be able to attempt to break through the Heaven and Earth Bridges soon and reach Level 8 Grandmaster realm, right …?”

The imposing man shook his head, “The Heaven and Earth Bridges are not so easy to break through. Just breaking through either one would probably require a combat power of over 30 million … I’m still too early for that.”

His words were humble, but the pride and arrogance in his eyes and expression could not be concealed.

He was clearly in a good mood.

A few people sitting on the massage chairs nearby looked at them coldly, their expressions showing a hint of disdain, but upon closer observation, their eyes also revealed astonishment and seriousness.

A Level 7 Martial Master with a CPI of 16 million … Even in the entire 9^th Military Region, he would be considered a formidable expert.

Improving one’s strength in the Martial Master realm was no easy feat.

Lu Sheng watched from the side with interest, as this was his first time seeing such a crystal pillar used for testing combat power.

It was completely different from the strength testing equipment he had seen before.

He couldn’t help but ask Zhan Hongyu beside him, “Is this how they test strength in all the military regions?”

Zhan Hongyu nodded, “Basically, once you reach the Martial Master realm, combat power testing departs from modern equipment. The power of Martial Masters is too great. No matter how good the materials are used or how well-protected the equipment is, with just one punch, the internal components would be shaken apart and shattered. So they use synthetic crystals for testing instead … Although it can’t be extremely precise, the margin of error won’t exceed 100,000.”

“What about qi and blood? How are those values tested?”

“For Martial Masters, their peak and valley qi and blood values fluctuate too much, making qi and blood value testing very inaccurate. Qi and blood value tests are abandoned after one reaches the Martial Master realm. Moreover, combat power itself is the best representation of the strength of one’s qi and blood.”

After Zhan Hongyu’s explanation, Lu Sheng understood a lot more.

“Hongyu!”

While they were talking, the squad members who had just finished the test noticed them.

The imposing man immediately brightened when he saw Zhan Hongyu and took big strides towards her.

“Another Lan Tianci …”

Lu Sheng read the habitual look of annoyance on Zhan Hongyu’s face and understood.

To be honest, he didn’t quite get Zhan Hongyu’s attitude.

She was already at that age, she might as well just find a handsome, rich, capable guy around her age and get married. Why keep acting so aloof?

He guessed she wanted to marry a Grandmaster.

“Xiao Zhan, your strength has improved greatly. I’m no match for you anymore …”

Zhan Hongyu spoke words of congratulations, but her expression and tone were icy cold.

However, this Xiao Zhan had the same temperament as the previous Lan Tianci.

He especially relished Zhan Hongyu’s attitude, smiling and saying, “No way. Even if I become a Grandmaster, I’ll never be a match for you. I would never dare lay a finger on you …”

Damn, that’s so cringy.

Lu Sheng felt a layer of goosebumps rise on his arm, he couldn’t stand it anymore and quickly took a few steps away.

“Hongyu, are you bringing your squad members to test their strength too?”

Xiao Zhan seemed very familiar with the Tiger Scorpion Squad members, greeting each of them, then asking Zhan Hongyu.

Zhan Hongyu nodded, hesitated for a moment, then her gaze fell on Lu Sheng, “Yes, and I’m also bringing a friend for the strength certification …”

“Oh.”

The imposing man had already noticed Lu Sheng, who had been standing beside Zhan Hongyu all along.

The two of them even seemed rather intimate when talking earlier.

Now taking a closer look at Lu Sheng.

He was younger, taller, more handsome, with a more imposing aura, and as for strength … To be able to enter this place, how weak could his strength really be?

Immediately, a strong sense of crisis filled his heart, and his gaze towards Lu Sheng became hostile and unkind.

Lu Sheng noticed Xiao Zhan’s change in expression and felt an inexplicable burst of anger rise in his heart.

He wanted to just slap him away directly.

Send this Xiao Zhan flying, and Zhan Hongyu too while he was at it, knocking them senseless.

Dammit, why is it always these cliché jealousy plotlines, so annoying? Old women are just trouble. The Lieutenant Colonel is better!

Er… wait!

Why did he think of Dong Xingxue again?!
