Chapter 37 — Reverberation
Martial cultivation is, in essence, the process of constantly tapping into the latent potential of the human body. In this process, a few might awaken powerful abilities that are beyond imagination. These individuals, as a collective, were simply called Talent Martial Artists.
“This is the only possible explanation. Talented Martial Artists will experience a surge in BQV at the initial stage of them awakening their talent, which just so happened to coincide with the events that surround Lu Sheng. As for his outrageous combat power, that far exceeds that of a normal martial artist, it should be the natural ability that he has awakened, it might be strength related or something similar.”
Xiao Yuhe’s thoughts were clear; all his doubts about Lu Sheng dissolved, leaving behind only a sense of gratitude and joy.
As a Level 6 powerhouse, he was naturally well aware of how valuable a Talented Martial Artist was.
It was said that 1 official martial artist came from one out of thousand ordinary people, and then out of a thousand martial artists you couldn’t be sure that even one among them was a Talented Martial Artist. By this, one could imagine how precious they were.
Not to mention a gifted martial artist like Lu Sheng.
Xiao Yuhe had been in office as the president of the Baihe City’s Martial Arts Association for almost eight years. He had come to a conclusion that career had come to an end, and he would honestly continue retaining his position for a few more years before retiring.
But—Xiao Yuhe now saw hope for promotion!
“If … I can nurture this seedling, Lu Sheng, properly, then when he grows to a certain height, the rewards he brings might take me to greater heights, putting me back on the social ladder …”
Xiao Yuhe was not obsessed with power, what he really cared for was what came along that power—Recourses.
If he could advance just one more level [through the social rung], the resources he could get were not something that could be compared to a mere president of the Baihe City Martial Arts Association. With the help of these resources, Xiao Yuhe could even possibly hope to step into that realm that he always dreamed.
Level 7, Master!
“If I had enough resources, why would I need to bury myself in my office and write every day? Fuck these hundred-thousand [“God”] characters!”
Xiao Yuhe had long been tired of writing.
Xiao Yuhe had long since been tired of writing the character. Now he’d wished to puke whenever he came across the character “God”.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuhe could hardly hold back his excitement and joy, and quickly arranged for his secretary to proceed.
“Quick. Make haste and arrange a car for me. I wish to personally visit Lu Sheng at his home, pay my respects to his parents, and thank them for giving birth to such a good son …”
"Yes, President."
…
Ni Shuang stood at the entrance of the martial arts academy, pacing back and forth, looking a bit annoyed.
A sturdy young man wearing a Red River Martial Arts Academy’s martial arts uniform ran in, panting.
"Senior Sister Ni …"
"How did it go? "
Ni Shunag’s eyes instantly lit up with a bit of expectation and urgency in her voice as she asked, “Any news?”
The youth wiped the sweat on his forehead and nodded, “Yes. His name is Lu Sheng. A student of Baihe Third High School, a senior in high schooler. His father works as a porter in Shen Xing Logistics, his mother works as a cashier in Jia Jia Fu supermarket. He has a younger sister, and the family lives in the 15th building of Bilan district …”
"Good! "
Ni Shuang clenched her fist hard, her face showing a pleased look.
The young man next to her was a bit puzzled and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Sister Ni, why are you looking for this Lu Sheng? Did he piss you off? Senior Sister, he’s just a child, you don’t need to push him to the brink …”
"Shut up! "
Ni Shuang couldn’t listen to him anymore and interrupted; it was hindering her good mood.
What is this? I’m the kind of person who would call a group of people to make trouble for someone and their family because of a personal grudge? It really made her speechless.
The youth meekly shut up and did not dare to say more.
After all, Ni Shuang was the establishment’s owner’s daughter, and she was strong. Almost no one in the academy could beat her. She was without doubt their Senior Sister.
While the youth stared, Ni Shuang’s phone rang.
"Got it.”
Ni Shuang hung up. Her beautiful face was a canvas of complexity.
The call was from her friend in the Martial Arts Association.
"I knew it would be soon, but I didn't expect it to be so soon …" Ni Shuang took a deep breath, her usual calm returned to her eyes, then she strode towards the door with big steps.
“Take me to his [Lu Sheng’s] house. By the way, ask my juniors to buy some presents suitable for elders and 16 to 17-year-old girl. Let it be a bit expensive …”
…
“Teacher Zhong, I must see this student named Lu Sheng in person tomorrow. The school board will approve of the scholarship without seeing his results with their own eyes. And …”
The vice principal sitting behind the desk pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said coldly, "As far as I know, this student named Lu Sheng has not come to school for almost two weeks. Have you contacted his parents? "
Zhong Zhengguo frowned and said, "Vice Principal, you still don't believe my words? "
"With that grade report form you turned in? Sorry, it's really not enough." The vice principal shook his head.
A trace of anger flashed in Zhong Zhengguo's eyes, but more than that, he was helpless.
He had always thought that he had some say in the school, but now he knew that he was only a Level 2 Martial Artist in strength, and in the eyes of those on the school committee, he was nothing. He was just an ordinary school teacher who trained students in practical combat. There were many who could fill up that position.
After a moment of silence, Zhong Zhengguo compromised.
“Okay, I promise that Lu Sheng will certainly be back in school within this week. But at his own request, can we not notify his parents?”
"No way. "
The vice principal denied. “Being truant to school for more than a week is already a very serious breach of school discipline. I have given you face by not choosing to directly expel him from our school immediately. Besides, Teacher Zhong, I have to remind you that the way you handled this issue is very wrong. You are harboring a delinquent. …”
Zhong Zhengguo wanted to say something, but the vice principal waved his hand, dismissing him, indicating the termination of the conversation.
Zhong Zhengguo stood up. "Then, vice principal, I'll head back first."
The vice principal indifferently hummed and looked down at his papers without even attempting any half-hearted greeting to see him off.
Zhong Zhengguo sighed softly and was about to prepare to leave.
Right at the moment, a man barged in through the door running.
"There good news! Great news! Haha …"
