Xue Fei looked at Lu Sheng strangely.

“Why go to the battlefield when you can enjoy life? Besides, even though a Level 1 and 2 Spiritual Masters are stronger than the average martial artist, they won’t be of much use on the battlefield. Every single spiritual master is precious, it’s better to have a few more children and contribute more to the country.

“The offspring of a spiritual master tend to have higher spiritual affinity and have a greater chance at becoming a spiritual master. If there are one or two Level 3 or 4, or even Level 4 or 5 Spiritual Masters in the future, then it’s a big deal. You don’t know, but the Association’s rewards on having children are quite generous ...”

Xue Fei chattered on the side.

Lu Sheng was enlightened. He suddenly realized that he had unknowingly fallen into a misunderstanding. He himself was shouldering the arduous mission of saving human civilization.

He had seen too many people fighting in their final moments for the sake of the human race.Findd new stories on nov/e(l)bin(.)com

He had seen too much despair.

So much so that he almost forgot one thing.

It was now three hundred years since the beginning of the martial era; not ten thousand years later.

Relatively speaking, it was still an era of peace.

“Humanity is still quite far from reaching the breakpoint. So there’s no shortage of people who practice martial arts purely for the sake of it. Many of them take part in the discipline to attain a better standard of living. Just like me, when I started. Did I not also chase after the same thing? To live up to my parents’ expectations and to make my life more valuable?” Lu Sheng thought calmly.

He did not feel anger now that he was looking at the lazy bunch in front of him.

“Ah, I’ve talked too much. I forgot that this is the Spiritual Master Association, everyone here is a spiritual master. I guess most of them here must’ve heard what we were talking about ...” Xue Fei suddenly complained.

Lu Sheng said lightly, “Don’t worry, no one heard.”

His Level 3 spiritual power was radiating around, anyone who tried to approach or listen would be detected by him.

Except for when the two of them walked out of the elevator, there were a few spiritual powers that swept past them, but none of them remained.

“How can be so sure?” Xue Fei looked at Lu Sheng doubtfully. She didn’t know why, but she suddenly remembered the golden sun she saw in Lu Sheng’s eyes at the entrance of the Association.

But before Xue Fei had time to think, she heard Lu Sheng say, “Let’s go in quickly, it’s my first time here, you have to lead the way.”

“Oh, oh.” Xue Fei agreed quickly and led Lu Sheng to a man with glasses who was sitting at a desk and flipping through a book.

The man with glasses was about thirty years old, he looked like an experienced otaku. He held a fantasy novel in each hand, his two eyes looked at the contents of the book on each side, flipping the pages quickly, but he gave them a sidelong glance.

“The phone line is down too!”

“The internet is down too ...”

For a moment, the office was in a mess. Everyone was buzzing around like headless flies, running around in all directions.

“Damn it!” The woman on the phone slammed the microphone twice and was about to take out her phone, but she glanced at Xue Fei, Lu Sheng, and the others standing next to her.

“Forget it, I’ll send your forms first!” With that, the woman angrily took a pile of forms and walked to an independent office.

When the office door opened, a slightly old man’s voice seemed to be coming from inside.

“Xiao Xia, you came at the right time, why did the internet suddenly go out, even my Dou Dizhu game got disconnected ...”

“President, you go through the forms first, you can worry about the game later.”

“Okay ...”

“We’re in luck today!” Xue Fei looked at the messy office and gloated to Lu Sheng. “Otherwise we’d have to wait for a long time again.”

Before Lu Sheng could speak, someone else immediately spoke up.

“Isn’t that right, I’ve been waiting for almost half a day.” A middle-aged balding man interrupted in a complaining tone.

“Are you also here to take the Spiritual Master Assessment?” Xue Fei asked curiously.

The balding man had just joined a group of people chatting about football, so she thought he was someone from the Association.

“Yes.”

The balding man rubbed his beer belly and said somewhat embarrassedly, “I’m here to take the Level 1 Spiritual Master Assessment. My talent is poor, unlike the two of you, so young and promising ...”

Although there was no definite correlation between a spiritual master’s talent and age, youth always had its advantages, and the younger one was, the more possibilities there were in the future.

And numerous examples showed that the earlier one awakened their affinity towards spiritual power, the greater their potential and the greater their future achievements.

The balding middle-aged man’s envious gaze was mostly on Lu Sheng, because Lu Sheng looked so young, about the same age as his son.

Thump, thump, thump ...

At this time, the woman who had just entered the office with the forms quickly came out and called out loudly to a young man sitting at a desk.
