[Chapter 39]
Lu Hai and Zheng Yufen had only just returned, when the two people came to their front door.
One claimed to be the president of the Martial Arts Association, and the other said she was from some martial arts school.
If this were just that, Lu Hai and Zheng Yufen would've already kicked them both out of their house while calling them liars, but whether it was Xiao Yuhe or Ni Shuang, the way they presented themselves did not indicate in any way like that of ordinary miscreants, rather they seemed like genuinely important people.
Especially Xiao Yuhe. Along with the strength of a peak Level 6 Past Master with his temperament that was forged from experience and years of cultivation, he simply exuded an extremely powerful aura, the kind that ordinary people like them had only ever seen something alike on TV. Plus, Ni Shuang had come with a lot of gifts.
This confused them to a great extent and had them sat and chat for a while.
In fact, Lu Hai and Zheng Yufen did not have any clue what business the two even had with Lu Sheng, and were instead anxious thinking Lu Sheng had created some sort of trouble outside.
As a result, now, Xiao Yuhe actually said that he came to give Lu Sheng an official martial artist badge?
And now, Xiao Yuhe was saying he was here to award Lu Sheng with an official martial arts badge?
Lu Hai was dumbfounded and spoke cautiously, "Xiao ... Chairman Xiao, have you made a mistake, our Lu Sheng is still a high school student ..."
Xiao Yuhe laughed and said, "It is because he is so outstanding despite being in high school, that I'm here to award him and deliver the news." Saying that, Xiao Yuhe took out a beautiful brass badge from his pocket and put it in front of Lu Sheng.
"Little friend Lu Sheng, I am now officially informing you on behalf of the Baihe City Martial Artists Association that you have successfully passed the examination of an official Level 2 Martial Artist. From now on, you are an official Level 2 Martial Artist certified by the Martial Arts Association ..."
Xiao Yuhe said pleasantly: "Due to your outstanding performance on the CPI test, you have far exceeded the category of Level 2 Martial Artist, so we've decided that your monthly martial arts allowance will be paid according to the standard of a Level 3 Martial Artist ... Not only that, due to your outstanding talent in martial arts, our Baihe Martial Arts Association will also give you a bonus of one million yuan, hoping that you will continue to strive for further glory in martial arts in the future ... "
Boom!
When Xiao Yuhe delivered his piece, Lu Hai and Zheng Yufen, who were sitting on the sofa besides him blanked out directly.
Their eyes were narrowed, mouths wide open, and a buzz whipping around theri brains.
If they weren't sitting on the sofa, they probably would have collapsed on the floor.
Lu Sheng ... Level 2 Martial Artist? Treatment of a Level 3 Martial Artist? One million yuan martial cultivation bonus?
Lu Hai and Zheng Yufen wondered if they were dreaming.
"One million ... "
"You, pinch me. Am I still awake ...?"
Next to them, Lu Qinghe also had a shocked expression on her face, but was in better shape than the couple.
Lu Sheng was calm.
Except for the one million yuan bonus, everything else was within his expectation.
"Many thanks to President Xiao. "
Lu Sheng nonchalantly put away the badge and the bonus check on the table.
The check, there was nothing much to speak about it, but it was mainly the badge that attracted him. Lu Sheng had previously learned about it online. The badges of martial artists from Level 1-3 were yellow; Level 4-6 being silver; Level 7, Masters, gold; and Level 8, Grandmasters, having a diamond badge.
Lu Sheng wasn't clear on the system further up.
Level 9 Martial Sages were only a handful few that were scattered across the world, and they did not need to prove their identities.
While holding the badge, he looked at the circular possession with patterns around the number "2" that represented his level. It seems to be made of brass, in fact, it is also mixed with many rare precious metals, the value of it being even higher than gold.
"Oh yes, there is one more thing I want to inform you," Xiao Yuhe said, "In two days, there'll be a provincial training camp for high school candidates that is about to open. The association is inclined to recommend you--"
"Is President Xiao talking about the Prodigy Training Camp held by the provincial association?" Ni Shuang, sitting next to him, interjected, cautiously.
Xiao Yuhe turned to look at her, "You know about this camp?"
Ni Shuang nodded and said, "I've heard of it, it's said that only the most talented martial arts geniuses in the entire Dongning Province are qualified to participate, and less than ten people from each city will be taken in."
"Right."
Xiao Yuhe nodded and turned to look at Lu Sheng with a gentle face, "What do you think, are you interested?"
Ni Shuang took the scene in front of her eyes, and her heart couldn't help be filled with unpleasantness.
She had not only heard of it, she had also enrolled in it back then.
She had not only heard of it, she had even signed up for it back then. Ni Hongchuan had made use of his extensive contacts, spent gifts, but yet it all in vain. She did not get in.
One could imagine how difficult it was to be enrolled in this camp. Just how many people were trying to get in every year, ah. But now with Lu Sheng, not only did the president of the Martial Arts Association personally invite him, but he was also fishing to see how Lu Sheng felt about it.
As if ...
It was as if he were begging him to go.
"Yes."
Lu Sheng nodded his head.
From what he took from Ni Shuang and Xiao Yuhe's conversation, this Prodigy Training Camp must be all benefits with no downsides. Since that was the case, there was no harm in going for a bit.
"Good!"
Xiao Yuhe looked quite happy, then stood up from the sofa.
"Since my purpose here is achieved. I shall not be a bother anymore."
Before Xiao Yuhe left, he deliberately shook hands with Lu Hai and Zheng Yufen, and said with solemnity: "Thank you for raising such an outstanding son."
Lu Hai and Zheng Yufen, on the other hand, saw Xiao Yuhe off, their brains still not registering what had happened.
"Is it real or not? A Level 2 Martial Artist. A million yuan bonus ... Is it not some mistake? Could it be that there is someone else with the given name and family name as our son, Lu Sheng ..."
Lu Hai turned Lu Sheng's martial artist badge over and over again in his hands.
Ni Frost couldn't help but smile, saying, "Uncle, aunty, you do not need to doubt it. It is your son Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng went to the Martial Arts Association this morning for an assessment, the results he got were very excellent. Did you not see that even President Xiao was alarmed? I estimate the story to be on news tomorrow ..."
"On the news ...?" Lu Hai froze.
On the other side, Zheng Yufen who was on her phone looked up in a hurry: "It truly was the president of our Baihe City Martial Arts Association, Xiao Yuhe! It's all over the internet, there are even photos ..."
