Chapter 50 — Connections and Entrance Examination

Both sides of the base were blocked by tall electrified iron wire fenced walls, and in front of them was a large iron gate that was tightly shut.

There are soldiers in uniform standing guard at the gate.

There were also a dozen or so young boys and girls who looked about the same age as Lu Sheng. They were also carrying suitcases of various sizes.

Lu Sheng noticed that all of these people were wearing a brass-colored badge on their left chests.

Level 1 Martial Artists.

It was a pity that Lu Sheng's Level 2 Martial Artist badge was left at home and was kept by his mother, Zheng Yufen. Who thought of it as some kind of treasure. Otherwise, he could have taken it out to show off.

“Participant from Baihe City has arrived.” The driver said a sentence, then started the car turned around and drove away.

The group of boys and girls stared at Lu Sheng and started to whisper among themselves.

"Someone from Baihe city? Didn't they already go in earlier? How come one person was left behind?"

"Probably someone who came in later, can’t you see that he hasn’t even cleared the Martial Artist Assessment? Baihe City has always been at the bottom of the province in terms of academic results."

“Oh …” Lu Sheng listened to these discussions with a calm expression, his heart as still as water.

With his current strength, even if all of these little brats who had just reached the standard of official Level 1 Martial Artists were to attack him together, they would still not be his match.

Towards these people who were far weaker than him and didn't have any sense of discernment, he felt that it was beneath him to even look at them.

After waiting for a while, a small door under the main gate of the base opened from the inside. A middle-aged man in military uniform with a square face and a serious look walked out.

He took the roster and counted the number of people present, and finally his eyes fell on Lu Sheng.

“You are …”

The middle-aged man looked down at the roster again and raised his head, “The Lu Sheng, that Xiao Yuhe, the president of the Baihe Martial Arts Association, mentioned?”

Lu Sheng nodded his head.

The middle-aged man understood.

President Xiao Yuhe of the Baihe Martial Arts Association specifically mentioned to him that there was a student who did not come by the designated vehicle, and had asked him to pay attention to him.*

[* It refers to the vehicle sent to Baihe City. Lu Sheng was picked up in the designated bus in the capital of Dongning Province where the camp is to be held.]

Now the person in question had arrived.

The middle-aged man purposely mentioned it, but when it fell into the ears of the other boys and girls present, they saw it in a completely different light.

"So it's someone that the president of Baihe City's Martial Arts Association specially took care of …"

“No wonder …”

"Impressive. You have connections with the president of a city’s Martial Arts Association …" Someone said sarcastically.

Lu Sheng was fine with it, but the middle-aged man in military uniform raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Silence, everyone!”

A group immediately shut their mouths.

The middle-aged man counted the number of people again and confirmed that there were no problems. Then, he said to Lu Sheng, "Then you can enter with the group from Qingyuan City. Go in for your induction ceremony."

The others didn't think much of it, but Lu Sheng sensed something different from his words.

Enter as a group? What does he mean by that? Could it be that this so-called induction ceremony had to be done in group?

However, even if he felt that something was off, Lu Sheng still obediently followed behind the group and entered the base under the guidance of the middle-aged man.

Once inside, there was a large field with many buildings surrounding it at a distance.

The middle-aged man led them around the field and finally brought them to a short building.

"Put down your luggage. Someone will hand it to you, later.” The middle-aged man gave the order indifferently.

He pointed at a small door in front of the building and said, "Go in one by one."

The students from Qingyuan City didn't know what was going on, but they still obediently followed the middle-aged man's instructions and walked through the small door one by one.

Lu Sheng was the last in line.

When all of them entered the small door, the iron door behind them closed heavily with a clang. They could hear sounds of iron chains moving, and felt the door being locked up.

The group underwent a change in emotion. Simultaneously, they heard the voice of the middle-aged man: "Walk to the exit on the other side, and you'll clear the entrance examination. If you can’t … Hmph. You can go back to where you came from!”

“What?!” Someone immediately shouted, "Wasn't this supposed to be an induction ceremony? Why is there an examination …"

Before he could finish his sentence, they all heard the sounds of cogs spinning and machines moving. The floor of the small room cracked open in the middle.

The group of boys and girls lost their balance and fell down while screaming.

Lu Sheng, however, had detected it before the mechanism even activated.

To be precise, the second Lu Sheng stepped into this room, he already knew that there was a mechanism hidden beneath the floor, and that there was a narrow and complicated passaged underground.

Bang!

Bang-Bang!!

The sound of bodies landing on the ground, accompanied by a few slight groans of slight pain rang out around him.

The boys and girls landed on their feet, one after another. After all, they were all official Level 1 Martial Artists. Even if they were caught off guard, most of them reacted quickly after the mechanism was activated.

Only a few were still too panicked, and landed on their backs and butts.

Lu Sheng landed steadily on the ground, without even making a sound.

His spiritual power wrapped around his feet like water, and

then provided a cushioning force. The way it would look like would be more akin to floating.

This was one of the ways of using spiritual power that Lu Sheng has worked out in the dream world.

Although he could not learn specialized spiritual power manipulation techniques, Lu Sheng still researched some small uses of spiritual power
