Logging 10,000 Years into the Future-Chapter 370

Chapter 370

Boom!

The chrysalis exploded, a dragon-like human form bursting forth.

Without even touching the ground, it shot like a tornado into the bathroom.

Seconds later, it rushed back out in a “swish,” trailing hot mist and water droplets that left blurred afterimages in the air.

The figure was about to whistle out the training room door when it glanced at the wall clock and suddenly froze.

Revealing a physique of perfect, heavenly craftsmanship.

Whew–

Lu Sheng exhaled long, his expression somewhat embarrassed.

“Overdid the training…”

It was already past 11 at night, over three hours past the time he’d agreed to meet Dong Xingxue.

Lu Sheng casually waved his hand, and the phone on the floor flew into his grasp.

Turning on the screen, he indeed saw over a dozen missed calls.

Aside from one from Dong Xingxue at 7:55pm, the rest were all from Qin Shaojun.

Lu Sheng hesitated, then hit redial on Dong Xingxue’s number.

After a few rings, her characteristically cool voice answered.

“Hello.”

“Sorry, I was…”

“Caught up in training, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Anything else?”

“No.”

“Alright then, I need to get back to my own training. Goodbye.”

Click

Lu Sheng stared at the phone, unsure what expression to make.

“Didn’t sound angry, but kind of did…”

Unable to tell, Lu Sheng just called Qin Shaojun back.

“Lu Sheng, you’re dead meat!” Qin Shaojun yelled as soon as he picked up.

He seemed to be at a bar or someplace noisy.

“This was the first time Dong Xingxue asked a guy out to eat, and you actually stood her up! You’re finished!”

Lu Sheng couldn’t help but explain, “I reached a crucial breakthrough in my training, I lost track of time…”

“You hit breakthroughs every few days, why’d it have to be today?”

Lu Sheng frowned. “How can I control that? Besides, I was just three hours late, is it that serious?”

There was a long silence on the other end of the line.

Lu Sheng wondered if Qin Shaojun hadn’t heard him clearly and was about to ask, when Qin’s voice came through again.

“Lu Sheng, you’re amazing! I’m in awe!”

Then the line went dead.

“Was it really that serious?” Lu Sheng muttered, staring at the phone. Thinking it over, he decided to just enter his dream world.

Half a minute later, Lu Sheng woke up.

“Heh heh…”

Lu Sheng couldn’t help but shake his head and mutter to himself, “See, I told you being three hours late to meet a girl couldn’t be that big a deal. Her name’s still in my spouse section, making a fuss over nothing!”

As he spoke, he expressed disdain for Qin Shaojun’s overreaction.

Since there was no issue, Lu Sheng completely let it go.

No need to go out, he might as well focus fully on training.

He began examining his own state, verifying the gains from his recent brush with death.

“Immortal Golden Body, third stage, perfected!”

This was truly an unexpected boon.

At this moment, Lu Sheng had perfected the third stage of the Immortal Golden Body, even faster than the second stage’s pace.

It was essentially a cheat.

With the third stage perfected, Lu Sheng’s body became even more flawless.

Both its external appearance and internal state reached an unprecedented pinnacle of perfection.

“Better results than even the original, since this was practically a bodily rebirth …”

Every martial art had requirements for the cultivator’s innate physicality.

This was an issue of compatibility between body and art.

Just as some people were born with thick joints suited for fist or palm strikes, while others had long arms ideal for sword techniques,

And some were agile, perfect for bodily movement arts.

The same martial art could manifest completely different power and effects for different individuals at the same stage, based on their compatibility.

Lu Sheng didn’t know his own compatibility with the Stellar Immortal Technique, but in the course of cultivating it, his body had continually adapted and grown towards the optimal form to manifest its might.

Yet no matter how he changed, he could never achieve 100% compatibility.

Because this was an art created by the Eastern Evil Sun, Wang He for himself, tailored to his own path.

Lu Sheng was merely treading in Wang He’s footsteps, following the path he left behind step-by-step.

To put it bluntly, even if Lu Sheng one day cultivated the Stellar Immortal Technique to the same profound level as Wang He, it would never reach the heights that Wang He attained.

Because.

He was not Wang He.

But from this moment on, it was different.

Lu Sheng’s body had been reforged, and with the aid of the Natural Breathing Technique, it became a perfect embodiment tailored for the Stellar Immortal Technique.

The compatibility approached 100%.

It may even surpass the technique’s creator, Wang He himself!

“Perhaps my body now could be called …”

Lu Sheng’s eyes flickered as he thought of an impressively arrogant name.

“The Stellar Immortal Physique!”

“Ranking alongside the Ancient Sacred Physique, Azure Heavenly Tyrant Physique, Primal Daoist Sacred Embryo Physique, Chaotic Physique …as the most supreme bodily constitutions in the universe!”

Heh, that last part was obviously just Lu Sheng’s self-aggrandizing fantasy.

But it really was incredibly powerful.

“Power visible to the naked eye…”

At this moment, as Lu Sheng examined his inner self, he could perceive the structures of his body, the patterns of his muscles, the shapes of his bones…

They all exhibited subtle variations from ordinary martial artists.

These changes were difficult to describe, yet marvelously strange.

Imbued with an extraordinary sense of beauty that transcended the normal human form.

Like an tattoo that had just been inked, incredibly profound yet intricate.

Or like a…

Star! Quietly gestating in faint radiance.

Even the color of his blood carried a light golden tint.

“Haa–”

Lu Sheng casually threw a punch into the empty air, not even fast.

Yet the room’s lighting seemed to brighten, as if his movements alone could cause sunrise and sunset.

It was as if he himself was the sun, and any casual motion could alter light and darkness around him.

“Hmmm–”

Lu Sheng sluggishly struck his own chest with a fist.

His martial body resonated with an otherworldly sound.

The cries of dragons and tigers, yet also like the lingering bells of an ancient mountain temple.

“Even top-tier experts cannot easily break my defenses!”

Lu Sheng’s eyes blazed with confidence.
