Lu Dahai and Zheng Yufen had just returned not long ago when the two visitors arrived one after the other. One claimed to be the president of the Warrior Association, while the other said they were from a martial arts school.
If it had been any other day, Lu Dahai and Zheng Yufen would have long treated them as frauds and kicked them out. However, both Xiao Yuhe and Ni Shuang didn't look like ordinary people.
Especially Xiao Yuhe, with his peak-level Sixth Stage martial artist strength and the aura cultivated from years of holding authority, his every gesture radiated a powerful presence. As regular citizens, Lu Dahai and Zheng Yufen had only ever seen such figures on television.
On top of that, Ni Shuang had brought a large pile of gifts along.
That's why, somewhat confused, they ended up inviting them inside, sitting down, and chatting for a while.
In reality, Lu Dahai and Zheng Yufen had no idea what Xiao Yuhe and Ni Shuang were here for. They were even worried that Lu Sheng had caused some trouble outside.
But now, Xiao Yuhe was actually saying he was here to present Lu Sheng with an official martial artist badge?!
Lu Dahai was completely stunned, cautiously speaking, "Xiao... President Xiao, are you sure you have the right person? Our Lu Sheng is just a high school student..."
Xiao Yuhe laughed heartily and said, "It's precisely because he's still in high school, yet so outstanding, that I decided to come personally to honor him."
With that, Xiao Yuhe took out a beautiful badge with a brass color from his pocket and placed it in front of Lu Sheng.
"Lu Sheng, little friend, I am here on behalf of the Baihe City Warrior Association to officially inform you that you have successfully passed the assessment to become a Level Two martial artist. From now on, you are an officially certified Level Two martial artist."
Xiao Yuhe said with a kind smile, "Considering your exceptional performance in the combat power index test, far surpassing the standards for a Level Two martial artist, we have decided to grant you the monthly allowance of a Level Three martial artist..."
He continued, "Furthermore, due to your outstanding talent in martial arts, the Baihe City Warrior Association will award you a one-million-yuan bonus. We hope you will continue to excel and create more achievements in martial arts..."
Boom—
With a series of shocking revelations, Lu Dahai and Zheng Yufen, sitting on the sofa, were left completely dumbfounded. Their eyes went wide, mouths agape, and their minds were buzzing.
If they weren't sitting on the sofa, they might have collapsed on the floor.
Lu Sheng...
A Level Two martial artist?!
Receiving benefits for a Level Three martial artist?!
A one-million-yuan martial arts bonus?!
Lu Dahai and Zheng Yufen began to wonder if they were dreaming.
"One million..."
"Pinch me, I must not be awake yet..."
Next to them, Lu Qinghe also wore a stunned expression, though she handled it a little better than her parents.
But Lu Sheng remained calm.
Aside from the one million yuan bonus, everything else was within his expectations.
"Thank you, President Xiao."
Lu Sheng unceremoniously took the badge and the bonus check.
The check wasn't a big deal, but the badge was.
Lu Sheng had done some research online before.
The badge for a Level Three martial artist was yellow, for a Level Four to Six martial artist, it was silver, for a Seventh Stage Grandmaster it was gold, and for an Eighth Stage Grandmaster, it was a diamond badge.
Beyond that, Lu Sheng wasn't sure.
Level Nine Martial Saints were so rare worldwide that a badge wouldn't really matter.
The badge in his hand had intricate designs around the edges, with the number "2" marked in the center, indicating that it was for a Level Two official martial artist.
It appeared to be made of brass, but in fact, it contained many rare precious metals, making it more valuable than gold.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to inform you about..."
Xiao Yuhe said, "In a few days, there will be a training camp for high school graduates. The association plans to recommend you to attend..."
"Did you say the genius training camp organized by the Provincial Association?"
At this moment, Ni Shuang, who had been sitting nearby, suddenly interjected carefully.
Xiao Yuhe turned to look at her. "You know about this training camp?"
Ni Shuang nodded. "I've heard of it. Apparently, only the most talented martial arts prodigies in all of Dongning Province qualify to attend. Each city can send fewer than ten people."
"Yes."
Xiao Yuhe nodded, turning back to look at Lu Sheng with a gentle smile. "So, are you interested?"
Ni Shuang watched this interaction, feeling a knot in her heart.
She had more than just heard of it—she had applied herself years ago.
But despite her father, Ni Hongchuan, using connections, giving gifts, and pulling strings, she still didn't make it.
This made it clear just how difficult it was to get selected for the training camp.
Many people were eager to squeeze in, no matter the cost.
And now, here was Lu Sheng, not only being personally invited by the president of the martial arts association, but also being asked if he was interested in attending, almost as if they were begging him to join.
"Sure."
Lu Sheng nodded.
From the conversation between Ni Shuang and Xiao Yuhe, it seemed that the genius training camp could only bring benefits, not harm.
Since that was the case, why not go?
"Great!"
Xiao Yuhe seemed pleased, standing up from the sofa.
"Since the items have been delivered, I won't keep you any longer."
Before leaving, Xiao Yuhe shook hands with Lu Dahai and Zheng Yufen, solemnly saying, "Thank you for raising such an outstanding son..."
Lu Dahai and Zheng Yufen continued to send Xiao Yuhe out the door, their heads still spinning.
"Is this for real? A Level Two martial artist, a one-million-yuan bonus... are we sure this isn't a mistake? Could there be another Lu Sheng with the same name?"
Lu Dahai kept examining the martial artist badge and check.
Ni Shuang couldn't help but laugh. "Uncle, Auntie, don't doubt it. It's definitely your son, Lu Sheng. He took the martial artist assessment this morning, and his performance was so impressive that even President Xiao was moved. I'd say he'll be on the news tomorrow..."
"On the news?..."
Lu Dahai froze for a moment.
Meanwhile, Zheng Yufen, holding her phone, exclaimed with delight, "It's really him, the president of Baihe City Warrior Association, Xiao Yuhe. It's all online, with photos too..."
