Logging 10,000 Years into the Future

Chapter 64: Whetstone

Whetstone

"Sigh …" Looking at Lu Sheng's back as he left, Yang Yuan could not help but sigh, even though she had already guessed it.

"This Lu Sheng is too arrogant. He doesn't put us in his eyes at all." Someone from Baihe City said angrily.

"Who told him to be so strong? There's still a reward for passing the assessment. He doesn't have to worry about points in the short term …" Someone said sourly.

"No matter how many points he has, there will be a day when they will be used up. No matter how strong he is, he is strong only for now. He's not the only one who passed the assessment. Baoding City's Xia Lin, Yanglin City's Cao Yong, Donggang City's Meng Jinhe, which one of them is weaker than him? Even if they are not as strong as him for now, they will catch up sooner or later in the training camp.

“Everyone has the support of a team while he is alone. When someone comes to find trouble with him, let's see how he will deal with it alone. Maybe he will even beg us for help …"

"Haha, what you said makes sense."

"I'm starting to look forward to Lu Sheng's expression at that time."

Yang Yuan listened to the discussions going on around her and remained silent.The analysis these people made seemed to make sense, but they had overlooked a very important point.

Without the support of someone like Lu Sheng in the early stages, this group of "geniuses" who were at the bottom of their respective cities might not be able to hold on until the day Lu Sheng's power declined.

"He's finally gone … That terrifying guy." Xia Ling let out a long sigh of relief. It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart. She felt much more relaxed.

As long as Lu Sheng appeared by her side, Xia Lin would feel uncomfortable all over, as if she couldn't breathe. Now that Lu Sheng was gone, she began to slowly return to her original appearance as a genius.

The students from Baoding City consciously gathered around her. As the recognized number one genius among them, Xia Lin naturally became the core of the students from Baoding City.

Xia Lin was quietly listening to the discussions and analysis of her companions. Suddenly, someone patted her on the shoulder and reminded her.

"Xia Lin, the chief instructor wants you to look for her after you're done. She has something important to tell you."

"Uh … Oh, oh, I got it."

Xia Lin blinked. She did not know why the Chief Instructor Dong Qingxue was suddenly looking for her.

The students next to her had a look of envy on their faces. He didn't need to guess to know that the chief instructor was looking for Xia Lin for something good.

Everyone knew that Xia Lin had a rare and powerful talent as a spiritual master, and Chief Instructor Dong Qingxue … she was a powerful spiritual master.

"I reckon that in a day or two, all the odd jobs in the base will be taken care of by these little bastards …" Qin Shaojun said to Dong Qingxue as she stood under the streetlamp and looked at the brightly lit Great Hall in the distance.

"This is also a way to dampen their arrogance and temper their will. It can only be beneficial to them." Dong Qingxue said calmly.

"After becoming the chief instructor, your words have become more and more powerful …" Qin Shaojun sighed.

Dong Qingxue rolled her eyes at him in exasperation. Then, with a serious expression, she said, "I think I've got it."

"Got what?"

"I've thought of how to deal with Lu Sheng."

"Oh?!" Qin Shaojun's eyes lit up. "What do you plan to do with him?"

The appearance of a freak like Lu Sheng was completely out of their expectations.

On the one hand, although Lu Sheng's talent was outstanding, his potential was limited. It was not worth the military spending too much effort on him, but it was not good to give up completely.

On the other hand, Lu Sheng's was too strong. He was not on the same level as the other students. If he were to compete with this group of people, he would probably not feel any pressure at all.

Therefore, the question of how to properly nurture a seedling like Lu Sheng had always been a headache for the two of them.

Now that Dong Qingxue said that she had an idea, Qin Shaojun was naturally curious.

"A whetstone!"

Dong Qingxue's eyes sparkled under the streetlamp's light. She said word by word, "He's the best whetstone. He can stimulate others to grow faster."

Qin Shaojun looked thoughtful. He asked, "Then have you considered a problem? What if this whetstone is too strong and hard? What if it breaks the blade that it’s supposed to sharpen?"

"Which is why he can't just be a whetstone for one person." Dong Qingxue looked at Qin Shaojun and said confidently, "Xia Lin, Cao Yong, Meng Jinhe. Three blades together. If that's not enough, we'll add a few more talented martial artists. I don't believe that they won't be able to withstand his pressure.

"If this plan works well, the results of this year's Prodigy Training Camp might far exceed our expectations. And Lu Sheng would also have very likely raised his upper limit.

"A fierce Level 6 Martial Artist in actual combat is ultimately not as significant as a Level 7 Master.

"No matter how weak a Master is in actual combat, he can easily defeat ten peak Level 6 Martial Artists, no matter the latter's strong combat awareness."

Qin Shaojun looked thoughtful.

"I'm going to give Xia Lin basic training as a spirit master tonight. You can focus on Meng Jinhe. You two have the same specialization." Dong Qingxue said.

Qin Shaojun nodded. "What about Cao Yong and the others?"

"I'll find a way to get Qi Meng's cultivation experience for Cao Yong. I'll even let Qi Meng personally guide him online. As for the other seedlings …"

Dong Qingxue thought for a moment and said, "Give them more points secretly."

Qin Shaojun looked at Dong Qingxue with a complicated expression and said, "I can see that you really want to lead this training camp well."

Dong Qingxue said calmly, "Since it's a task assigned to me, I'll naturally do my best. It's not my style to do things half-heartedly."

"If that's the case …" Qin Shaojun seemed to have made a decision. He said seriously, "Then I won't be a burden to you. From today onward, I'm no longer a slacker! I'll work hard to be the best martial arts instructor!"

Dong Qingxue smiled and said with relief, "If you had this kind of awareness earlier, your progress in martial arts would definitely be …"

Before she could finish, she saw Qin Shaojun frown and think carefully. Then, he shook his head and said, "Forget it. I'm a little tired because of Lu Sheng today. I'll stop being a slacker from tomorrow onward. I'll go back to sleep first …"

The smile on Dong Qingxue's face instantly froze.

"…"

…

After Lu Sheng returned to the dormitory, the first thing he did was check the points Dong Qingxue had mentioned at the assembly.

"So many?"

Lu Sheng was a little surprised when he saw the results. There were a total of 1,000 points.

He did not know how many points the other three people who passed the entrance exam had received, but this number was quite a lot.

After the assembly, the officer of the training camp gave everyone a form.

It listed all the facilities and activities in the training camp, and whether points were needed for certain facilities, and if needed, how many? The ways and jobs to earn points, and how many points could be earned.

Lu Sheng looked at the introduction on the form.

A meal in the training camp (buffet) only cost 5 points. A night's sleep was even cheaper. One point was enough. In other words, if one was only satisfied with three meals a day and sleeping.

These 1,000 points were enough for Lu Sheng to stay in the training camp for close to three months.

"But if I want to use the special cultivation room or get the instructor to guide me, it won't be cheap …"

Gravity Training Room cost 10 points per hour

Agility Training Room cost 10 points per hour.

Combat Training Room cost 20 points per hour.

Instruction from a normal instructor cost 30 points per hour.

Instruction for the chief instructor and the deputy chief instructor cost 100 point to instruct him once.

…

On the other hand, there were other ways to earn points. The points provided by the assessment were quite considerable.

For every assessment, no matter how big or small it was, as long as one passed, one would receive 20 points.

If one achieved good results in the assessment, one would receive 50 points.

If one achieved outstanding results, one would receive 100 points.

Of course, the entrance exam had just ended. It was obviously unrealistic to try to earn points in a short period of time through the assessment. Thus, one could only go through other methods, such as doing chores.

However, the points one could earn through this method were pitifully low. Cleaning the training room only gave him 5 points.

Even the smallest martial arts training room in the training camp was a few hundred square meters.

Lu Sheng suddenly felt a little sorry for the students who did not pass the entrance exam and had zero points. He could foresee that for a long time, these people would have to rely on cleaning to make ends meet.
