Chapter 136: Chapter 115 Choosing a Mentor, 7th Tier Mentor Gumo! Battleship, Set Sail!_2

"It’s a bit low."

Lu Sheng tapped his fingers on the table, considering that if he apprenticed under Feng Changchun, his instructor would actually be a Martial Artist of the fifth tier.

That in itself wasn’t bad; a fifth-tier Martial Artist would be more than sufficient to teach him. However, what made Lu Sheng hesitant was the staggering seventy percent casualty rate!

"I still need to be careful."

After pondering for a moment, Lu Sheng turned his attention to the information of the last remaining mentor.

"Seventh-tier mentor Gumo, research style, specializes in Life Domain martial arts research, has improved the cultivation method of the Longevity Posture, and developed two advanced techniques for the Longevity Posture."

Seeing Gumo’s information, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but brighten up.

"Although Mentor Gumo follows the research style, the direction of his studies aligns quite well with my own path, and the positions he guards are all in the safer, rear areas of the Star River Star System."

Immediately, Lu Sheng searched the Star River University’s forum for additional information on Gumo.

Lu Sheng looked at the posts.

"Just like Feng Changchun, Mentor Gumo mostly has his three students teach on his behalf. However, he sometimes personally guides students. The key difference is that these three students are all sixth-tier Martial Artists, which is significantly better than Feng Changchun’s instruction."

"Moreover, Mentor Gumo accepts students from all backgrounds. His three sixth-tier students respectively focus on ancient martial arts, new martial arts, and research styles."

"Considering all this... the best-suited mentor for me among these three is Gumo."

"It’s decided!"

Lu Sheng smiled slightly, then pulled up the admission information previously sent by Gumo and clicked confirm.

After doing all this, Lu Sheng stretched lazily.

"Choosing a mentor is quite the hassle!"

"Next, it’s time to head to Star River University."

"In the remaining time, I need to focus on my training!"

After a brief rest, Lu Sheng returned to his cultivation state.

...

Soon, ten days had passed.

Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, a faint golden light flickering in their depths.

[Occupation: Martial Artist]

[Realm: Golden Body (3/100)]

[Immortal Technique: (2/100) LV1]

[Longevity Realm: (MAX)]

[Great Five Elements Fist: (MAX)]

[Five Elements Realm: (MAX)]

[Basic Mechanical Prosthetic Maintenance: (88/100) LV5]

[Basic Martial Arts Mastery: (1/100) LV6]

"These past few days, I’ve managed to improve my cultivation progress a bit."

"Although the progress is slow, once in the Golden Body Realm, even a small increase represents a significant strength improvement."

"Though I still can’t defeat the seventy-fifth floor’s Guardian, I can last longer against it."

Feeling the changes in his strength, Lu Sheng smiled slightly.

"It’s time to set out."

Lu Sheng stood up, left the room, and made his way to the Starry Sky Train station, preparing to head to Tiankui Star and meet up with the students from Tianqi Star who were also admitted to Star River University.

It didn’t take long for Lu Sheng to arrive at the designated registration location requested by Star River University.

Situated in a suburban area of Tiankui Star, though it was called suburban, it contained a starship docking station.

Tianqi Star, being just a small asteroid, had only this docking station out of all its cities, including the 108 Star Cities within it, to stop star system ships.

And it was just a docking station at that.

To enter the Star River Star System, a star system route was required for transmission. They gathered here only to board a starship heading to the nearest star system route station.

"Lu Sheng!!"

As soon as Lu Sheng arrived, he saw Chen Moyun sitting in the rest area, waving at him, behind whom a large group of students admitted to Star River University also waved to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng smiled slightly and walked towards the rest area, saying to Chen Moyun, "You got here so quickly. Looking at you now..."

Lu Sheng observed Chen Moyun’s situation and found that Chen Moyun had already bonded with the other students, almost appearing as if he was leading them.

"You became their leader?"

Lu Sheng teased Chen Moyun.

"Of course, we need to build good relationships in advance. We’re all heading to Star River University; unity is strength!"

Chen Moyun responded matter-of-factly.

After all, the area covered by Star River University spanned the entire Star River Star System. Sometimes, completing tasks meant traveling to other planets. Knowing people made things easier.

Lu Sheng nodded and began to integrate with the group.

Soon enough, a staff member notified them that they could board, and everyone, led by the staff, moved towards the starship.

After walking through a long terminal, they entered an exclusive docking area, where a starship the size of ten football fields was quietly docked.

Sunlight shone on the starship’s metallic surface, reflecting a cold glimmer.

As Lu Sheng gazed at the starship, he inexplicably sensed an aura of danger emanating from it.

"Wow, it’s really Star River University, picking us up with a Planet Level Falcon-II battleship!"

Beside him, Chen Moyun couldn’t help but exclaim.

"A Planet Level Falcon-II battleship?"

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. He’d heard from Xia Xun during the Celestial Speed Training Camp’s Space Ghost mimic battle that battleships belonged to the combat series, often needing to engage frontline battlegrounds. Therefore, battleships lacked intelligent AI, instead controlled entirely by Artifact Spirits to prevent invasion by entities like Space Ghosts.

Moreover, battleships were equipped with high-tech weaponry, unleashing immense destructive power under the control of Artifact Spirits.

"Battleships range from Planet Level to Interstellar and even Star System Level. A Planet Level II-type is stronger than a I-type, comparable to a fifth-tier Transcendent. That’s probably why I sensed danger, as it could easily blow me to pieces!"

Lu Sheng sighed before boarding the Falcon-II battleship with the others.

The ship was spacious, comfortably accommodating over six thousand students, with each having their own designated spot and even some provisions of food and drink.

"All passengers are on board, preparing for departure..."

As everyone sat in their seats, a magnetically resonant male voice echoed from above the battleship.

In the next instant, the ship shuddered slightly before returning to calm.

Instantly, the battleship lifted off, escaping the gravitational pull of the planet and hurtling towards the cosmic void.

Sitting by the window, Lu Sheng watched Tianqi Star shrink in his view until it was reduced to the size of a mooncake.

"Finally leaving Tianqi Star..."

Watching Tianqi Star grow smaller until it disappeared, Lu Sheng sighed with emotion.

Having landed on Tianqi Star in an escape shuttle eighteen years ago, he felt a faint attachment leaving it now.

With these thoughts, Lu Sheng slowly closed his eyes. When he reopened them, his gaze was filled with resolve, replacing the reluctance.

"Star River University... here I come!"
