From Mortal Body to Immortality

Summons!

The scarlet letters seared into Lu Sheng's vision.

In an instant, Lu Sheng understood why Li Mo felt a sense of camaraderie with the dead rabbit upon learning of Tang Shun's death in the Black Market arena.

Entering the front lines…

Perhaps for those with talent, or even the hope of further advancement, it was undoubtedly an opportunity, but for most transcendents… the front lines were a meat grinder.

Once on the front lines, whether a logistics technician or a frontline combatant, one second they might be chatting and laughing, and the next, their bones could be gone without a trace.

“Celestial Star is about to dispatch 300,000 technical transcendents to the front lines for combat. 300,000 may not be a large percentage of Celestial Star's total number of transcendents, but with the word 'technical' attached… the scope is much smaller!”

Lu Sheng stood by the side of the street, watching the news broadcast on the screen, and eventually fell into silence.

In this situation, not only Lu Sheng, who had just entered the realm of transcendence, but even a third-order transcendent like Gao Feng, couldn't say anything.

With a somewhat heavy heart, Lu Sheng returned home, lay on his bed, and uncharacteristically didn't cultivate.

He remained sleepless all night.

The next day, Lu Sheng woke up early, went to school, and after class, he cultivated the Longevity Stance and Five Elements Fist under Gao Feng's guidance.

“Alright, alright, you seem a bit distracted today.”

Inside Gao Feng's office, Gao Feng frowned as he looked at Lu Sheng before him. He could tell that, compared to the previous days, Lu Sheng was clearly somewhat absent-minded today.

Therefore, he called a halt to the cultivation.

“Did something happen?”

Perhaps because of Yang Meng's incident, Gao Feng's heart was a little sensitive. He didn't want Lu Sheng to become the next Yang Meng, so he asked with concern.

Lu Sheng was silent for a moment, and then told Gao Feng about the matter between himself and Li Mo.

He also mentioned the news he had seen yesterday.

After hearing this, Gao Feng was also slightly silent for a moment, and then said, “I know about this matter. The first batch of Celestial Star's troops will go to the front lines in a month.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat.

A month, wouldn't that mean…

Although the possibility of Li Mo being selected was small, Lu Sheng and Li Mo had spent so much time together, and Li Mo could be considered to have shown him kindness. Lu Sheng really didn't want to see someone as old as Li Mo go to the front lines to fight.

However, soon, Gao Feng's next words made Lu Sheng breathe a sigh of relief.

“But as far as I know, most of the transcendents in the first batch of Celestial Star's summons are going voluntarily. Only a small number of slots will be forcibly conscripted, and because it's the first batch, most of those conscripted will be young transcendents. Li Mo, whom you mentioned, will most likely not be selected in the first batch of summons.”

Listening to Gao Feng's words, Lu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the probability wasn't high!

“Of course, I don't know about the situation later on. If the fighting on the front lines becomes extremely urgent, I'm afraid there will be a second summons, or even a third, or even more summons.”

“Once this situation occurs, not to mention Li Mo, even I can't escape it. This is also the duty of us as transcendents of the Human Federation.”

Gao Feng sighed as if he had thought of something.

Although Gao Feng said so, Lu Sheng's heart was not as melancholy as it had been last night.

At least, the probability of Li Mo being summoned this time wasn't very high.

“Alright, I see that you're a bit distracted today. Let's end today's cultivation here. It's still the same advice, seize the time to improve your qi and blood limit. Once you feel that your qi and blood can't be improved, don't waste time. Break through to the second order as soon as possible.”

Gao Feng waved his hand at Lu Sheng and instructed him.

Lu Sheng smiled slightly, nodded, packed his things, left the office, and went straight to the Tianqi Heavy Industries' repair workshop.

…

Inside the repair workshop, as yesterday, only Li Mo was there, quietly lying on the chair. However, compared to yesterday, Li Mo's complexion was obviously much calmer.

Lu Sheng came to Li Mo's side and said softly, “Grandpa, there's really no need to worry so much. I asked my elite class instructor, and the probability of you being selected in this first summons isn't very high.”

Listening to Lu Sheng's words, Li Mo slowly opened his eyes, and there was a hint of surprise in his gaze as he looked at Lu Sheng. Obviously, Li Mo didn't expect Lu Sheng to be so concerned about this matter.

As he spoke, Li Mo propped himself up from the chair, no longer lying down, but sitting on the chair, looking around at the familiar repair workshop.

“Actually, this old man has lived for decades, and has worked here at Tianqi Heavy Industries for decades. This old man can see through many things.”

“I'm naturally happy that you kid is so concerned about this old man, but you said something wrong.”

Li Mo smiled and pointed at Lu Sheng, saying.

“Perhaps this summons won't fall on this old man, but this old man has worked in Tianqi Heavy Industries for so long, and knows more information than your elite class teacher.”

“Judging from the current situation on the front lines, one summons is far from enough.”

“Don't think that Celestial Star hasn't had any changes in decades, but in fact, on the Federation's front line battlefield, it has always been at a disadvantage. You watch, this summons is just the beginning, and there will be more summons to come.”

“Once, twice, three times… or even ten times!”

Listening to Li Mo's words, Lu Sheng's complexion gradually became silent.

“This time, perhaps I can avoid it, but what about next time? What about the time after that?”

“What about after ten times?”

Li Mo's voice kept ringing in Lu Sheng's ears.

“So, I can't escape the summons no matter what. Since I can't escape, there's no need to keep worrying about this matter. At least… this old man can still live safely in the rear of Celestial Star, can't I!”

After saying that, a smile appeared on Li Mo's face, but no matter how you looked at it, this smile had a hint of reluctance.

Looking at the reluctant smile on Li Mo's face, Lu Sheng fell into silence again.
