Chapter 21 — My Future Will Amount More Than That!

Immediately after that, Lu Sheng checked the data on all the people he was familiar with.

As a result, he found that except for his sister, Lu Qinghe, no one had reached who reached one star. Majority of them had only managed to reach half-a-star or there were even some who were without any stars in their evaluation rating.

Lu Sheng guessed that his two-star rating was perhaps all due to his joining the military, his subsequent battle merits there, and his final sacrifice on the battlefield.

After all, his sacrifice could also be considered a service to humanity.

“It’s not exactly the same …”

Lu Sheng began to mutter to himself: “The information says that my performance in the coming college entrance examinations will be with a Blood-Qi Value of 2.012 and a Combat Power Index of 257. I’ll score an ‘A’ in actual combat assessment. I’d rank 23rd and enter the Baihe Martial Arts University.

“If I discount the Dream World and my current rate of increment by practicing both the Body Refinement Technique and the Breathing Technique, and also the other available boost I get, then one can consider it normal to achieve the result mentioned above if they practiced for more than 200 days.

“However, if I consider the cultivation and gains I’ve made in the Dream World, then … my actual digits should be far ahead from the ones shown in the data.”

Lu Sheng’s eyes suddenly burst out with two intense sharp auras.

“More than 200 days of cultivation, more than 200 days inside the Dream World, more than 200 days of gains and accomplishments … I don’t believe I’ll only make so little progress after all that.

“How can I, Lu Sheng, be only rank 23 in the entire city? My rank should be included in the ranks of the entire country, my name should resound within the minds of many people all around … My future—”

Lu Sheng clenched his fist fiercely, “—will amount more than that!”

“Since it’s the future, it can be changed … My own future, and as well the as entire human civilization’s future can be changed! If human civilization will perish in the future, then I, Lu Sheng, will be the one to change history and save the day!”

Lu Sheng looked at the words [Fireseed Repository] flashing blue on the screen of his Optical Mind and spoke calmly but with certainty.

“I am the spark that will start a conflagration!”

At this moment, the disillusionment, confusion, and disappointment in Lu Sheng’s heart were swept away, replaced by an unprecedented determination and confidence.

His temperament underwent a new metamorphosis, and there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes.

The path of the martial arts should be a courageous one.

If you’re faced with a desperate situation, then amidst all the chaos create a path for life and hope!

This was Lu Sheng’s belief.

…

“Little Saint how come you didn’t change your school uniform, don’t you need to go to school today?”

Zheng Yufen placed a pot of breakfast on the table, and curiously asked him seeing him wear his casual clothes to the dining table.

Lu Sheng casually picked up a meat bun and nodded, “Yes, the teacher said I can choose to study on my own at home in the future.”

“There’s still such a thing?”

Zheng Yufen muttered suspiciously, but she didn’t have the energy to think much about it as she was working several odd jobs at the same time and had to rush to work after breakfast, so she didn’t ask more questions.

Lu Qinghe habitually wanted to open her mouth and retort with something like “How come I’ve not heard of this new rule in school recently?”, but she looked at the Lu Sheng’s dark eyes, and she swallowed back those words.

“This guy …”

Lu Qinghe took a bite out of the bun in her hand.

The recent changes in Lu Sheng were getting more eye catching, and he no longer looked his mediocre and timid self from before.

Previously, she only felt that Lu Sheng had become somewhat deep and mysterious.

But today, Lu Sheng gave her the feeling akin to a mountain, a piece of iron, a fire … Sitting next to Lu Sheng, she even had a kind of oppressive feeling that she couldn’t breathe.

This feeling was too oppressive.

Lu Sheng did not notice Lu Qinghe’s strangeness, he quickly ate breakfast and then went straight to his room to practice the Body Refining Technique.

After the fourth cycle of body refining, Lu Sheng’s cellphone rang, it was an unfamiliar number.

“Lu Sheng, your scholarship will be handed out. Come down to school this afternoon to get collect it.”

Unsurprisingly, it was Zhong Zhengguo’s call.

“Got it, Mr. Zhong.”

“By the way, why didn’t you come to class today? Didn’t I say that the school had to meet and discuss your school hours? Thanks to your request to keep it hidden from your parents, I had to ask your classmates for your phone number …”

“Teacher Zhong, I don’t have much time, so I can’t waste my time anymore.”

“Uh …”

Ignoring whether Zhong Zhengguo on the other end of the phone could understand his words or not, Lu Sheng hung up the phone.

Since returning from the Dream World last night, Lu Sheng’s mentality had completely changed.

Before that, Lu Sheng was still carefully hiding his strength, not daring to expose too much, not daring to let too many people know.

Before that, Lu Sheng was very careful in keeping his strength hidden, and did not dare to expose too much of secrets, lest too many people come to know. He had to account many factors before acting, hiding things from his family.

But Lu Sheng no longer cared about stuff like that.

He want to be sharp, he want to shock the next person.

Only by showing more talent could he get more resources.

He needed to rush to the top as quickly as possible, and then look for ways to change the future.

Not even for a moment could not afford to wait.

In addition to that, Lu Sheng also wanted to use this to verify an idea in his mind.

…

Lu Sheng repeatedly practiced the Body Refining Technique, paired with the Breathing Technique over and over again.

The purpose was to finish squeezing his energy as fast as possible, create a sense of exhaustion, and then enter the Dream World.

When Lu Sheng finished practicing the Body Refining Technique for the 27th time, he was finally so tired that he fell limp on the ground, not even willing to move his little finger.

Sleep struck him and he gradually fell asleep.

When he opened his eyes, he was still in the same place he left yesterday, with the Optical Mind in front of him.

Lu Sheng skillfully operated the Optical Mind, and then gave the command.

“Pull up all cultivation methods, perceptions, notes related to martial arts that fall within my authority …”

[Querying in progress …].

Very quickly, a huge amount of information appeared in front of Lu Sheng’s eyes.

Densely packed, all of them were related to martial arts.

It was too much.

More than 10,000 years of accumulation, inspiration from countless people, wisdom, even if Lu Sheng’s authority was only Level 2, the knowledge that could be obtained was massive.

Lu Sheng thought about it and continued to command: “Screen data to the most suitable exercises and methods for a Level 1 Martial Artist, and other related content.”

[Screening in progress …].

The content was quickly screened out and only 3 pieces of data remained.
