Chapter 255: Chapter 166: Junior Brother Lu Sheng, rest assured, we will take care of you! Wait, who is Lu Sheng?

Gumo’s true intentions are actually very simple. They’re nothing like what he told Lu Sheng—drawing attention from aliens or creating opportunities for Liu Yao. While those reasons are somewhat true, they are not the main reasons.

Gumo’s primary reason is to let Lu Sheng show off a bit, to make a grand display, and conveniently, Lu Sheng’s Stellar Technique can also be refined.

After all, such a good seedling caught by him—if he doesn’t show it off now, is he supposed to wait twenty years and show off on the frontlines himself?

Additionally, letting Lu Sheng display his talent properly, making the old geezers from other factions jealous, letting them realize...

Life Factions! Gumo! Can also train good students!

Such a great opportunity is here, if he doesn’t take it... wouldn’t it be a waste to have admitted such a good seedling like Lu Sheng into the Life Factions?

Besides...

He’s about to leave soon. If he doesn’t show off now, should he leave it for Liu Yao?

Gumo looked at the post he had published in the forum center of Star River University. Though it was a new account and a new post, thanks to his years of lurking in various forums, he had developed a naming skill almost as good as a Grandmaster.

In an instant, it attracted many people to click on it.

Seeing the post getting increasingly popular, Gumo’s smile grew wider.

"In these thousands of years, if I don’t find some fun, I would have died of boredom long ago. Cultivation, even cultivation can be exceedingly dull!"

Gumo said, shaking his head reluctantly.

...

After leaving Gumo’s cultivation ground, Lu Sheng carefully recalled what Gumo had just told him.

He felt something was off, vaguely.

But he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was that made him feel this way.

Ultimately, Lu Sheng decided to put it aside, not bothering to think further.

"Mentor certainly wouldn’t harm me."

With that thought, Lu Sheng directly entered the Seal of Brilliance, input the assembly location sent by Star River University’s task center, activated Light-speed Flight, and flew towards the assembly location.

This was Lu Sheng’s second time receiving a task after breaking through to the fifth stage.

However, the last time was just Star River University’s admissions task, which wasn’t very difficult, typically manageable by general fifth-stage students.

But this time, it wasn’t something that could be accomplished by regular fifth-stage students.

It required collective efforts from students of other factions, and... its requirement was to eliminate the entire main star, far more challenging than the admissions task.

Moreover, not many knew Lu Sheng had broken through to the latter stage of the fifth stage; those who did were all from the Life Factions.

Thus, the task center at Star River University only treated Lu Sheng as a beginner fifth-stage student.

But Lu Sheng didn’t care about it all. He simply followed Gumo’s words, finish the task, and that’s it.

Soon, Lu Sheng piloted the Seal of Brilliance and arrived at the assembly location.

The assembly site for this mission was at the 56th Star System Teleportation Station of the Star River Star System. Upon reaching the 56th Star System Teleportation Station, Lu Sheng exited the Seal of Brilliance, stored it in the Profound Ring, and headed to a lounge in the teleportation station.

Walking into the lounge, he found four people already waiting inside.

"You must be Lu Sheng!"

As Lu Sheng entered the lounge, a slightly older youth greeted him with a smile.

Seeing the person, Lu Sheng immediately recognized his identity.

Bai Chenfeng!

A fifth-stage late-level student of the Conquest Factions at Star River University and Xia Xun’s senior brother, their relationship extremely close.

So upon seeing Lu Sheng, Bai Chenfeng greeted him immediately, evidently informed of Lu Sheng’s existence by Xia Xun.

After receiving the task, the task center at Star River University also sent the information about the collaborators for this mission to Lu Sheng.

The package included their photos and strengths.

Thus, the person identified Lu Sheng instantly, and Lu Sheng knew his identity too.

"Senior Brother Bai!"

Lu Sheng replied with a smile.

"Hahaha, Junior Brother Lu Sheng, I’ve heard quite a bit about you from Xia Xun. I didn’t expect that this mission would be completed by us together." Bai Chenfeng said, laughing.

He patted his chest and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll look after you during this mission."

Clearly, Bai Chenfeng treated Lu Sheng as a novice fifth-stage student.

Not only Bai Chenfeng, but the other three Star River University students also greeted Lu Sheng.

They all expressed their intention to take care of Lu Sheng during this mission.

After all, students capable of breaking through to the fifth stage aren’t fools.

Lu Sheng’s age was there, having joined Star River University for merely twenty years and already breaking through to the fifth stage—such talent... was exceptionally exceptional.

Even if he was only at the beginning of the fifth stage, building a good relationship now may benefit them in the future when Lu Sheng grows.

"Indeed, this is your first combat mission, isn’t it, Junior Brother Lu Sheng? It’s not much, we’ll handle the tough parts!"

"We’re all students of Star River University; we should naturally look after each other. Rest assured, Junior Brother Lu Sheng, with us, this mission will definitely be completed!"
