From Mortal Body to Immortality

"Besides the Longevity Stake, my martial arts realm has also improved a bit. Although it's small, I can feel the power within me has slightly increased."

Lu Sheng clenched his fist and smiled slightly.

"Although the cultivation of the Longevity Stake cannot directly affect the improvement of a martial artist's realm, the higher the progress of the Longevity Stake, the more beneficial it is to the improvement of my realm. When I max out the Longevity Stake, I will be able to enter the Extraordinary Realm at the fastest speed!"

As Lu Sheng spoke, he let out a long breath.

He went to the bathroom for a simple wash, then Lu Sheng changed his clothes, walked out of his house, and headed towards school.

The weekend was over, and today was a school day.

After arriving at Class Eight of the third year, Lu Sheng plopped down on his seat. At this moment, a chubby figure approached Lu Sheng, sizing him up with a suspicious look.

"Hey Lu Sheng, you've been acting a bit strange these past few days, haven't you? Usually on weekends, you'd ask me to go do a part-time job or go to the internet cafe, but this week, there's been no news at all!"

This person's name is Zhao Feng, Lu Sheng's best friend.

"No, no! Something's not right with you! Let me see... Hmm? Could it be that you've made a breakthrough in your Longevity Stake? Your skin is so radiant, it must be!"

Zhao Feng pinched Lu Sheng's face and exclaimed.

"Get lost!"

Lu Sheng laughed and swatted away Zhao Feng's hand, saying in annoyance.

It was normal for Zhao Feng to notice this. After all, the Longevity Stake itself was about prolonging life. Although it didn't greatly improve strength, each breakthrough in the Longevity Stake could eliminate certain impurities from the body.

Therefore, after Lu Sheng increased the proficiency of the Longevity Stake by eleven points, he naturally appeared much more refreshed, which was what Zhao Feng meant by having delicate and radiant skin.

"Damn, you kid, that's not cool, secretly grinding on the weekends, huh!"

At this time, the classroom was basically full of people, but the four people in the class who had already entered the Extraordinary Realm were not there.

"Oh? They? They've already been transferred to the elite class!"

Zhao Feng sat next to Lu Sheng and said casually.

"Elite class?"

Lu Sheng was taken aback.

"Don't tell me you don't know. Old Wang sent the message to the class group on the weekend. Go see for yourself."

Zhao Feng looked at Lu Sheng in surprise.

Lu Sheng quickly looked at his phone. On the weekend, Lu Sheng had been practicing the Longevity Stake all the time, so he didn't have time to see other messages. When he opened the class group, he indeed saw a message sent by the class teacher, Wang Zhen.

The general meaning was that the students in the class who had entered the Extraordinary Realm would be transferred to the school's elite class and enjoy the school's highest level of resources and treatment.

At the same time, students who can enter the Extraordinary Realm in the future can also apply to enter the elite class.

It's just that the elite class is divided into two stages. The first half of the semester, which is now, the elite class usually focuses on resource allocation for cultivation. In the next stage, which is the second half of the semester, the elite class will begin to focus on cultivating students' practical combat abilities.

In other words... the earlier you join the elite class, the better!

"Elite class... Originally, I didn't have much motivation or pressure, but now... I do."

Lu Sheng murmured softly.

Since crossing over, Lu Sheng's martial arts practice was only to protect himself, and in the last martial arts class, Gao Feng gave Lu Sheng an irresistible reason.

If you don't practice martial arts, if one day other intelligent life races invade Apocalypse Star, then waiting for Lu Sheng will only be a dead end!

Lu Sheng's childhood experience had already explained this point.

The lives within a planet, except for those who were lucky enough to escape like Lu Sheng when he was a child, were all dead!

A living example was placed in front of Lu Sheng.

"If I want to go further in martial arts, this elite class is indispensable, and even... I have to join the elite class as quickly as possible, otherwise, missing the resources of the first half of the semester will be troublesome."

Lu Sheng sat in his seat and murmured, falling into contemplation.

However, soon, the noise in the classroom interrupted Lu Sheng's thoughts. Lu Sheng came back to his senses and found that the students in the class had already walked out of the classroom. At this time, Lu Sheng remembered that the first class was the martial arts class.

He quickly stood up and went to the changing room of the martial arts training hall with his best friend Zhao Feng.

A moment later, Lu Sheng and Zhao Feng had already changed into their practice clothes and stood in the martial arts training hall.

There was a hint of anticipation in Lu Sheng's eyes: "Last martial arts class, Teacher Gao Feng just casually gave me some pointers, which made my Longevity Stake progress increase by three points. If I perform well this time, and Teacher Gao Feng gives me more pointers, maybe... I can increase the Longevity Stake to eighty-eight or even higher at the fastest speed!"

Lu Sheng was a little expectant, but soon his expectation was instantly shattered.

A footstep came, and Lu Sheng looked in the direction of the sound, but it was not Gao Feng's figure, but an unfamiliar old man. The old man was about seventy or eighty years old. Although the vitality in his body was still strong, the feeling he gave Lu Sheng was far inferior to Gao Feng.

The old man came to the crowd and said lightly: "Let me introduce myself, I am Zhang Yang, and I am responsible for your next martial arts class. As for your Teacher Gao Feng, he has been transferred to the elite class. Enough nonsense, let's start the class now..."

Listening to Zhang Yang's words, Lu Sheng was stunned.

"Teacher Gao Feng... was actually transferred to the elite class!"

However, it can also be seen from here that Gao Feng's martial arts realm is definitely strong, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be transferred to the elite class to guide the students in the elite class to practice.

"Alas, what a pity."

Lu Sheng sighed, but still honestly put on the Longevity Stake and started training.

However, after three hours in a row, although there was Zhang Yang's guidance, the effect was obviously not as good as Gao Feng's casual guidance before. In three hours, he only increased the proficiency of the Longevity Stake by one point.

However, the martial artist realm, accompanied by these three hours of cultivation, improved again.

After the martial arts class ended, Lu Sheng was in the changing room, changing into casual clothes, while opening the system panel.

【Name: Lu Sheng】

【Occupation: Martial Artist】

【Realm: Quasi-Martial Artist (65/100)】

【Longevity Stake: (85/100) LV1】

"Although Teacher Zhang Yang's teaching is better than my own independent cultivation, it's still too slow. According to this progress, deducting the time for class during the day, I'm afraid it will take a week to grind the Longevity Stake to 100%, and... the Longevity Stake's perfection does not mean that my martial arts realm can also enter the Extraordinary."

Lu Sheng was a little helpless.

The Longevity Stake's proficiency is only to increase the speed of his martial artist realm's improvement.

"If this continues, it will be at least a month before I join the elite class, and the resource gap for this month..."

Lu Sheng gritted his teeth, as if deciding something.

"One step behind, every step behind, I can't just maintain the status quo like this, maybe... I can try to find someone else for tutoring."

Lu Sheng made a decision in his heart.

After school, Lu Sheng ignored Zhao Feng's invitation to the internet cafe and ran straight home, opened the optical brain that was decades behind the times, and entered his personal terminal.

Although it is now an era of technological explosion, Lu Sheng is an orphan, and he has no way to earn money, so things like optical brains are still second-hand goods picked up from the used market.

【Name: Lu Sheng】

【Citizen Level: Ordinary Citizen】

【Federal Points: 3000】

"There are still three thousand Federal Points, that should be enough!"

Looking at his savings, Lu Sheng stroked his chin.

Federal Points are the common currency of the Human Federation today. Because Lu Sheng is an orphan, he can receive a subsidy of 300 Federal Points from the Federation every month, and the school also has a subsidy of 200 points per month for poor students. Even eating at school is free, and the houses allocated by the Human Federation are also free.

Over time, Lu Sheng has also saved a lot of Federal Points, but Lu Sheng used to buy some necessary daily necessities and cultivation resources every month, so now he only has three thousand Federal Points.

"Should... be enough!"

Lu Sheng murmured, then clicked on the Apocalypse Star's education official website, searched for information about the Longevity Stake, and posted a reward for guiding the Longevity Stake.

For Lu Sheng, he doesn't need a real martial artist to teach him. On the contrary, many people practice things like the Longevity Stake. He only needs to find someone with enough experience in the Longevity Stake and a relatively suitable price to teach him.

Soon, after Lu Sheng's reward was released, a series of requests popped up directly on Lu Sheng's personal terminal page.

After Lu Sheng screened them one by one, he finally determined one person's information.

"Li Mo, member of the Apocalypse Heavy Industry Health Association, specializing in Longevity Stake and other series of health exercises, Extraordinary Martial Artist, teaching price: 500 Federal Points per lesson!"

"It's him!"

Lu Sheng's gaze fell on Li Mo's information.

Members of the Health Association naturally have a certain degree of attainment in a series of health exercises such as the Longevity Stake, and this is what Lu Sheng needs most.

The key is that the price is cheap and the cost performance is high.

Immediately, Lu Sheng contacted Li Mo on the personal terminal, agreed on the class time, and then confirmed the payment.

In an instant, five hundred Federal Points were deducted, causing Lu Sheng a burst of heartache.

"This is my subsidy for a month, I hope... you don't let me down!"

Lu Sheng looked at the remaining two thousand five Federal Points and finally sighed and walked out of his house.
