From Mortal Body to Immortality

"Senior!"

Seeing Mu Qingqing's figure appear in front of him, Lu Sheng couldn't help but ask.

"Senior Du Bai, what exactly is going on?"

Listening to Mu Qingqing's words, Lu Sheng frowned slightly, clicked on his wristband, entered the mission center of the Life Academy, and found the search mission section.

Sure enough, in the search missions, he saw the mission issued by the academy to find Du Bai and others.

The front-line mission that Du Bai took on was not a solo mission. There were two other Life Academy students who were completing the mission with Du Bai.

Like Du Bai, the other two students also disappeared during this mission.

However, Lu Sheng discovered something different. Under Du Bai's name, the academic credits to be obtained for finding him were three thousand, while under the names of the other two students, the academic credits to be obtained for finding them were five to six thousand.

"Senior, why are the academic credits for finding Senior Du Bai different from those of the other two seniors?"

Lu Sheng couldn't help but look at Mu Qingqing and asked.

Mu Qingqing explained: "When students go missing, it will naturally attract the attention of their relatives and friends. In addition to the academic credits rewarded by the academy, there are also additional academic credit rewards from their relatives and friends."

"Usually, the academy also provides support in this situation. After all, these students are all students within the academy, and it's naturally best if they can be found."

"And the academic credits added by the missing students' relatives and friends will be doubled by the academy. In other words, if the relatives and friends of a missing student add one thousand academic credits, then when the student is found and the mission is completed, they will receive an additional two thousand academic credits."

"As for Du Bai—"

Mu Qingqing looked at Lu Sheng, her expression also slightly helpless.

"Senior Du Bai is a very good person, but Senior Du Bai doesn't have any background in the Life Academy. He originally came from a small asteroid in the Human Federation."

"It is precisely because of this that Senior Du Bai spent thirty years to earn the academic credits for the Titan, and Senior Du Bai can be said to be destitute now."

"No one is willing to spend academic credits to find Senior Du Bai, after all, even if he is found, it is questionable whether Senior Du Bai can repay them."

"And the other two students, although their backgrounds are not too good, they are much better than Senior Du Bai. They have the support of their respective relatives and friends, as well as the support of some local forces."

"So—"

Mu Qingqing was a little embarrassed when she said this, after all, she had more or less received Du Bai's care in the past, but she couldn't come up with that many academic credits to add.

Lu Sheng listened to Mu Qingqing's words and fell into silence.

Lu Sheng thought of Zhang Lei, and thought of some of the students who had been taken care of by Du Bai before, but they were unwilling to add any academic credits, even if it was just a few, or dozens of academic credits.

Lu Sheng took a deep breath and forced a smile at Mu Qingqing.

"Thank you, Senior."

Mu Qingqing looked at Lu Sheng's somewhat forced smile, sighed slightly in her heart, nodded, hung up the communication, and her figure disappeared from Lu Sheng's sight.

After hanging up the communication, Lu Sheng looked at Du Bai's search mission. At this moment, no one had yet claimed the mission to find Du Bai. On the other hand, the search missions for the other two students had already been claimed.

Lu Sheng understood why this was happening.

Firstly, Du Bai possessed a Titan, comparable to a fifth-order intermediate transcendent. The fact that someone with such strength had disappeared showed how difficult the mission was.

Secondly—three thousand academic credits were not enough to make other students take the risk.

Unless—add academic credits!

After thinking for a long time, Lu Sheng looked at Du Bai's name and finally chose to add fifteen hundred academic credits.

Lu Sheng would not be able to use these fifteen hundred academic credits for the time being, after all, the Withered Glory Art had now been upgraded to the fourth level, and the Withered Glory Fruit no longer had much effect on Lu Sheng.

This could be considered a token of Lu Sheng's appreciation. If Du Bai was not found in the end, the academy would naturally return the added academic credits to Lu Sheng.

If Du Bai was found—

That would naturally be the best thing, after all, Du Bai's care for him since he entered the Life Academy had been genuine.

This was the only thing Lu Sheng could do.

As for personally searching for him, Lu Sheng would not do it. Firstly, Lu Sheng did not have the strength to take the risk.

Personally searching for him would only lead to death.

But if it was just a matter of spending some academic credits, Lu Sheng was willing.

Just as Lu Sheng added the academic credits, the academy automatically doubled them, and the academic credit reward under Du Bai's name instantly changed from three thousand to six thousand.

Six thousand academic credits was a very tempting number for the students of the Life Academy.

Only a few minutes passed before Lu Sheng saw that the word "Claimed" had appeared behind Du Bai's mission.

Clearly, six thousand academic credits had already tempted some fifth-order senior students.

Seeing this, Lu Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior Du Bai, all I can do is this much."

Lu Sheng looked at the message that Du Bai had sent him half a year ago in his wristband and silently sent his blessings.

At the same time, Mu Qingqing had just hung up the communication with Lu Sheng and sighed softly as she looked at Du Bai's mission board.

"Senior Du Bai, it's not that I don't want to save you, it's that I can't come up with that many academic credits!"

Helpless, Mu Qingqing was about to close the mission center when her eyes blurred and she saw that the academic credits under Du Bai's name had directly become six thousand academic credits.

"This—"

Mu Qingqing understood what had happened in an instant when she saw this scene, and her entire expression gradually became complicated.

"Junior Lu Sheng—"

Mu Qingqing had just hung up the communication with Lu Sheng, so she naturally understood whose handiwork this sudden increase in academic credit rewards was.

Looking at the mission to find Du Bai with a complicated expression, Mu Qingqing's heart was extremely complex.

In a space station in the Life Academy, Zhang Lei sat in the lounge, watching Du Bai's search mission being claimed, but his expression was calm, and he finally closed the mission board.

The whole person lay on the sofa and slowly closed his eyes.

"Is it really worth spending so many academic credits just to find a Du Bai?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Lei had no more movements, only his even breathing could be heard.

In addition to Mu Qingqing and Zhang Lei, other students who had been taken care of by Du Bai in the past also showed complicated expressions after seeing that the mission to find Du Bai had been claimed and the academic credits had reached six thousand.

None of them had contributed to finding Du Bai, and now they had different thoughts when they saw this scene.

Especially when they saw that the person who invested the academic credits was Lu Sheng, that complicated thought became even stronger.

"Lu Sheng—is still a little unwise. Fifteen hundred academic credits can be used to improve so much, but he used them for a Du Bai."

Someone shook his head and said so.

"Is that Du Bai really worth adding fifteen hundred academic credits? In the end, Du Bai is just a fourth-order peak martial artist."

"Is this Lu Sheng complaining that he has too many academic credits?"

Those students who had been taken care of by Du Bai spoke one after another.

Disappearing in the process of performing a mission is too common in the Life Academy and even in Xinghe University.

Moreover, fourth-order martial artists are as numerous as hairs in the Life Academy and even in Xinghe University, and they think they are not worth it at all.

However, Lu Sheng was completely unaware of all this, and even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart.

Lu Sheng doesn't care what others do, but Lu Sheng only needs to be true to his own heart.

After seeing the task being accepted, Lu Sheng was completely relieved and turned back to the Land of Bones to continue cultivating.

Another half year passed.

Besides cultivating every day, Lu Sheng would occasionally check if the task of finding Du Bai had been completed.

Finally, half a year later, Lu Sheng saw that the suffix of the task to find Du Bai in the task center had changed to "Completed."

After seeing these two words, a smile appeared on Lu Sheng's face.

"He was still found."

Lu Sheng was relieved and was about to continue cultivating when he saw a message from Du Bai on his wrist device.

"I won't say thank you. This time, I owe it all to you. If you hadn't added the credits, I might have died on the front lines."

"However, my injuries are too severe and I need a period of recuperation. After my injuries recover, I will definitely repay you handsomely!"

"I only have the last thousand credits left, so I'll give them to you first!"

Looking at the message sent by Du Bai, Lu Sheng's brow furrowed slightly.

Immediately afterwards, another message popped up on the wrist device, and Du Bai had already transferred the thousand credits to him.

"Senior Du Bai is injured? No wonder he lost contact. But it's fortunate that he was able to come back alive."

Lu Sheng said silently in his heart, and then transferred the thousand credits back to Du Bai.

He told the other party that he was not short of credits now, and that Du Bai should use the thousand credits to buy some resources to recover from his injuries and recuperate well.

However, the message Lu Sheng sent did not receive a response from Du Bai, and it was unknown whether Du Bai didn't know how to respond, or had already started healing.

Lu Sheng didn't care too much about this, but silently closed his eyes and continued to use the aura of death in the Land of Bones to continuously cultivate the Prosper-Decline Art.

Soon, another three months passed.

Lu Sheng was sitting cross-legged in the Land of Bones, his whole body filled with a strong aura of death, and within that aura of death, there was a thick ball of vitality, filling Lu Sheng's entire body.

The Domain of Life and Death suddenly opened, completely enveloping the area within a hundred meters, so that the nearby yellow sand beasts didn't even have time to react, and were already drained of their vitality under the Domain of Life and Death, turning into powder and dissipating between heaven and earth.

Gradually, Lu Sheng opened his eyes, with a faint light twinkling within them.

The panel automatically appeared.

[Realm: Golden Body (57/100)]

[Undying Art: (10/100) LV2]

[Prosper-Decline Art: (45/100) LV4]

[Domain of Life and Death: (10/100) LV2]

[Undying Spell: (5/100) LV2]

"Cultivation, there are only three points of progress left before I can enter the late stage of the Fourth Order, and the Prosper-Decline Art is almost halfway there."

"At this rate, I will be able to enter the late stage of the Fourth Order in at most a year."

Lu Sheng looked at the panel and couldn't help but smile.

In more than six years, from the beginning of the Fourth Order to the late stage of the Fourth Order, this speed is already very fast. At least, Mu Bai took more than thirty years to go from the early stage of the Fourth Order to the peak of the Fourth Order.

Lu Sheng slowly stood up, but his heart moved slightly, and he looked towards the sky of Gu刹星.

After raising the Domain of Life and Death to the second level, the soul was strengthened, and Lu Sheng's perception also became much stronger. Even in this Land of Bones, Lu Sheng still sensed that in the sky of Gu刹星, there was a powerful aura, heading towards the direction of the shelter.

And this aura... Lu Sheng was extremely familiar with it.

"Senior Mu Bai has finally recovered!"

Lu Sheng smiled slightly, took a step, and also walked towards the direction of the shelter.

When Lu Sheng arrived at the shelter, the familiar silver mecha descended from the sky and landed near the shelter, stirring up a burst of yellow sand storms.

The aura emitted by the mecha seemed to obliterate the surrounding aura of death.

When the mecha was opened, Mu Bai's figure also appeared in Lu Sheng's sight.

"Senior Mu Bai—"

Lu Sheng was about to speak with a smile, but he was shocked to find that although the aura of the Giant God Soldier was powerful, Mu Bai's own aura seemed a little weak.

At least... compared to the last time he saw Du Bai, the aura was many times weaker.

Lu Sheng's brow furrowed slightly: "Senior Mu Bai's injuries haven't recovered yet?"

Mu Bai walked down from the mecha, waved to Lu Sheng, and barely showed a smile on his face.

"Don't mention it, this time I suffered a big loss."

Listening to Mu Bai's words, Lu Sheng also fell into silence.

Afterwards, the two walked into the shelter. With a wave of Mu Bai's hand, a bottle of white wine appeared out of thin air. Before Lu Sheng could speak, Mu Bai opened the white wine and took a big gulp.

Bang!

After drinking, Mu Bai slammed the white wine bottle heavily on the table.

"This time's mission, I encountered the Space Soul Clan!"

Mu Bai spoke to himself, and a large amount of alcohol vapor emanated from his mouth.

Lu Sheng's brow furrowed slightly, and the introduction of the Space Soul Clan couldn't help but appear in his mind.

"Space Soul Clan?"

After recalling the information about the Space Soul Clan, Lu Sheng probably understood why Mu Bai had failed this time. The Space Soul Clan is considered a relatively special race among the cosmic races. Their methods are often aimed at the soul.

If the soul is not strong, it is easy to be suppressed by the opponent, and if the martial artist system encounters the Space Soul Clan, they must enter the Fifth Order and integrate the soul into the body to be immune to the Space Soul Clan's attacks.

But Mu Bai...

Although under the blessing of the Giant God Soldier, he has the combat power comparable to the mid-stage of the Fifth Order, his essence is only the peak of the Fourth Order. The power of the soul is not strong.

The Space Soul Clan he encountered happened to be the nemesis of martial artists like Mu Bai who used Giant God Soldiers.

"These bastards, their methods are really weird. If I hadn't relied on the Giant God Soldier to barely escape, I might have died on the front lines now."

Mu Bai said with a wry smile.

"But even if I barely escaped, my soul was severely damaged, and I couldn't exert my strength. Even if I relied on the Giant God Soldier, I could only barely maintain the combat power of the peak of the Fourth Order."

"And the combat power of the peak of the Fourth Order on the front lines... is really nothing."

"I could only hide everywhere, evading the search of those bastards. I stayed on that front line for nearly a year before I met a senior who was looking for me and brought me back from the front lines."

Mu Bai said, but his face was full of bitterness, and there was a thick sorrow between his eyebrows.

Mu Bai took another sip of white wine and looked at Lu Sheng, his eyes gradually becoming gentle.

"This time, thank you."

Mu Bai said softly.

"If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't be able to return to the School of Life."

Mu Bai knew very well that if Lu Sheng hadn't added the credits, those Fifth Order seniors in the school would not have been able to take on his task.

After all, three thousand credits were not enough to make this group of Fifth Order seniors take the risk.

It is no exaggeration to say that the greatest contribution to saving his, Mu Bai's, life was Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng looked at Mu Bai and said calmly: "It's all over. Aren't you back now? As long as you live well, nothing can't be overcome."

Faced with Lu Sheng's comfort, Mu Bai shook his head with a smile, and then took out a silver ring from his pocket. The ring contained a strong energy.

Lu Sheng looked at it, but he clearly felt that there was a powerful vitality in the ring.

"This is—"

Lu Sheng looked at the silver ring with some curiosity.

Mu Bai slowly said: "This is the control ring of the Giant God Soldier, specially used to control the Giant God Soldier,

Now—."

"It's yours!"

After saying that, Mu Bai handed the silver ring to Lu Sheng.
