Inside Lu Sheng’s body, mysterious waves gradually rippled out, covering an area far larger than two years ago.
The waves extended directly to a hundred meters radius centered on Lu Sheng!
They had increased tenfold!
Gradually, Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, and within those dark eyes, a faint and almost imperceptible gleam flickered gently.
"It’s been two years!"
Lu Sheng opened his mouth slightly, his voice somewhat hoarse.
With a thought, the system panel appeared in Lu Sheng’s sight.
[Realm: Golden Body (55/100)]
[Immortal Technique: (5/100) LV2]
[Life and Death Technique: (30/100) LV4]
[Domain of Mental Realm: (1/100) LV2]
[Undying Technique: (1/100) LV2]
"The Life and Death Technique has already reached level four. My attainments surpass even those of Senior Brother Du Bai. The Domain of Mental Realm has reached level two, its range increasing from the previous ten meters to a hundred meters."
"And this Undying Technique... it has also increased to level two!"
Lu Sheng looked at the system panel, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Although my cultivation hasn’t yet reached late stage tier four, with my current combat power... even if facing a peak tier four Golden Body Martial Artist, I dare to fight!"
As Lu Sheng spoke, he stood up from the ground, stretching his neck, which made a series of cracking sounds.
Lu Sheng looked around at the desolate desert and couldn’t help but smile slightly.
"For others, guarding the Ancient Temple Star might be a dull and tough task, but for me, this place is simply a blessed land!"
"If it weren’t for guarding the Ancient Temple Star, I wouldn’t have been able to raise the Life and Death Technique to level four in just five years."
Lu Sheng said with a smile.
Don’t underestimate five years’ time. Just to raise one cultivation technique to level four is significant, especially since Planet Level martial arts techniques are inherently difficult to cultivate.
Back then, Jiang He only managed to get a basic grasp of one Immortal Technique after five years, while Lu Sheng was on the verge of mastering the final stage of the Life and Death Technique.
"Nevertheless, the progress of my cultivation is still a bit slow. There’s still a small gap to late stage tier four..."
"But... it’s soon. Once I master the Life and Death Technique to perfection and enhance the Immortal Technique, I’ll soon be able to break through to late stage and even peak stage!"
Lu Sheng slowly withdrew his gaze and smiled slightly.
Today’s training was complete. Lu Sheng walked slowly towards the shelter, glancing at the watch on his wrist.
There wasn’t much information on the watch.
Most of it was notifications from the Life Factions or the Ancient Martial System, with some being the communications between Lu Sheng and Du Bai.
The last communication between Lu Sheng and Du Bai was half a year ago.
Looking at the message records, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but frown slightly.
"Has it been half a year already?"
Lu Sheng raised his head, his expression slightly dazed.
Half a year ago, Lu Sheng had chatted with Du Bai, and Du Bai said he was ready to complete his final task. He just needed to finish that task to gather all the resources necessary for breaking through to tier five.
From their chat, Lu Sheng also knew that the final task Du Bai was preparing to complete was a long-term one.
So, when Du Bai didn’t send any messages later, Lu Sheng didn’t worry.
Except now... half a year has passed, and Du Bai still hasn’t sent any messages, which made Lu Sheng a bit worried.
"Did something happen?"
Lu Sheng pondered for a moment.
Such long-term tasks have an uncertain duration; it can be several months or even a year or two.
However, the longer the time, the more likely it indicates that the task hasn’t gone well. Now, half a year has passed.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Sheng decided to inquire.
Lu Sheng contacted Zhang Lei, Mu Qingqing, and other seniors whose contact information he had, sending inquiries to each of them.
But after waiting for a while, no one responded to Lu Sheng’s messages.
This made Lu Sheng frown slightly.
It was not until Lu Sheng returned to the shelter that a message popped up.
It was a reply from Mu Qingqing.
"I don’t know the specifics, but what I do know is... Du Bai is missing!"
Seeing Mu Qingqing’s reply, Lu Sheng’s pupils contracted sharply.
How is that possible!!
In Lu Sheng’s heart, it felt like waves were crashing.
Du Bai was a peak tier four martial artist, just a step away from tier five. Plus, with the Giant Divine Soldier, he had combat power comparable to mid-stage tier five.
A mid-stage tier five could even become the overlord of a small planet.
That kind of power, and he still went missing?
Lu Sheng’s heart was filled with confusion, and his face showed a troubled expression.
"How could Senior Brother Du Bai go missing?"
"He’s a Life Factions student. If he goes missing, won’t the faction take action?"
Lu Sheng couldn’t help but think.
Then, Lu Sheng logged into the Life Factions’ forum to check how the faction handles missing students.
But after reading the posts, Lu Sheng fell into silence.
For students who lost contact and were considered missing during tasks, the faction would issue search tasks for other students to undertake in order to find the missing individuals.
Silent for a moment, Lu Sheng decided to call Mu Qingqing to ask for details about Du Bai’s situation.
Soon, Mu Qingqing’s call connected, and her image was projected in front of Lu Sheng.
