From Mortal Body to Immortality

Everyone present was shocked by this sudden change.

As the explosion ended, Lu Sheng's figure was revealed in the smoke.

Gao Feng and the other two seemed a little anxious, quickly coming to Lu Sheng's side. Seeing that there were no problems with Lu Sheng, they breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when they looked at Yang Meng's constantly burning corpse, their expressions turned ugly.

Lu Sheng looked at the flames in front of him, his pupils constricting slightly.

His gaze instantly turned towards Zhao Jiadi in the crowd.

Zhao Jiadi also walked out from the crowd, with an apologetic look on his face: "Everyone, I'm really sorry, Yang Meng's prosthetic body was funded by my company. It's currently in the testing phase, and it's a bit unstable."

"Now that such a change has occurred, I am naturally the first to bear the brunt and cannot shirk my responsibility."

"I didn't expect such a situation to occur, but the root cause is that our mechanical prosthetic body is not stable enough."

"In view of the current situation, I am willing to offer a certain amount of Federal Points to compensate Lu Sheng and Yang Meng's family!"

Zhao Jiadi's sincere apology surprised many people present, as they did not expect Zhao Jiadi to stand up at this time and take all the blame upon himself.

But seeing him apologize immediately and offer compensation, they couldn't help but nod.

"Alas, mechanical prosthetic bodies in the testing phase are inherently unstable. No one could have expected such a thing to happen."

"However, since Yang Meng chose to accept the funding in the first place, he should have understood this. What a pity!"

Listening to the discussions of the elite class students around him, Zhao Jiadi's lips curled into a faint arc, only glancing at Lu Sheng out of the corner of his eye before retracting his gaze.

Zhao Jiadi didn't think that Lu Sheng, a martial artist, could discover the clues about the mechanical internal organs, unless he was proficient in mechanical maintenance or had accumulated decades of experience in this field to see a trace of it.

Otherwise, even advanced prosthetic body modifiers would not be able to detect the situation.

Moreover, Yang Meng's body has now been destroyed. Although he didn't kill Lu Sheng, it's impossible for Lu Sheng, a martial artist, to discover the reason.

If he didn't kill him this time, then so be it. He would just find another opportunity next time.

Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, taking a deep look at Zhao Jiadi. Seeing the other party's hypocritical appearance, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

But now it's impossible to produce evidence to prove that it was the other party's doing, so Lu Sheng accepted Zhao Jiadi's compensation, just silently adding this guy to his mental list.

"Since it's because the prosthetic body is unstable, then let's do as Zhao Tongxue said!"

Lu Sheng said lightly, his eyes directly facing Zhao Jiadi.

Facing Lu Sheng's gaze, Zhao Jiadi didn't dodge at all, just smiling apologetically at Lu Sheng: "I will have someone transfer the compensation to your account later. This time... I'm really sorry, Lu Sheng Tongxue!"

Although Gao Feng and the others looked a little ugly, it was common sense that mechanical prosthetic bodies in the testing phase were unstable. Yang Meng chose to accept Zhao Jiadi's funding, so they couldn't put all the responsibility on the prosthetic body company behind Zhao Jiadi.

They were very clear that Yang Meng must have signed some agreement when he accepted the funding, and Yang Meng must have been aware of the instability of the mechanical prosthetic body.

Therefore, they could only do as Zhao Jiadi said, with Zhao Jiadi compensating Lu Sheng and Yang Meng's family.

Only Ye Lin looked at Yang Meng's corpse, which had been burned into charcoal, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

As one of the guidance teachers of the elite class, he himself was an advanced prosthetic body modifier. He could indeed discover some clues from the situation inside Yang Meng's body before, but again, Yang Meng's body had been destroyed, and all the evidence had disappeared.

There was nothing he could do.

In the end, the three sighed a long sigh and could only choose to report the matter and then let it go.

After Yang Meng's incident, Gao Feng and the others were no longer in the mood to continue the class, so they gave the elite class a half-day holiday.

Everyone walked out of the martial arts training hall. Lu Sheng looked at Zhao Jiadi's departing back, his eyes incomparably deep.

After a moment, Lu Sheng found Gao Feng, who was preparing to leave, and said softly: "Gao Laoshi... what is the situation of this Zhao Jiadi's family?"

Gao Feng was not surprised by Lu Sheng's question, just assuming that Lu Sheng was curious about Zhao Jiadi's immediate offer of compensation, so he simply told Lu Sheng.

"Zhao Jiadi can be considered the number one mechanical modifier in our elite class. The Zhao family he belongs to can also be considered a large family in our Qiming City."

"Zhao Jiadi's father is the head of the Zhao family, named Zhao Xiaofeng, with unfathomable strength. He is a fourth-order mechanical modifier."

Lu Sheng's eyebrows rose slightly.

A fourth-order mechanical modifier?

Since he was a child, the only fourth-order transcendent Lu Sheng had seen besides Jiang He was Jiang He. He didn't expect that Zhao Jiadi's father would be a fourth-order transcendent.

No wonder he was so wealthy, immediately offering to compensate himself and Yang Meng's family.

A fourth-order transcendent is probably already the ceiling of Qiming City.

"The Zhao family has companies of all sizes under its name, and the prosthetic body company that funded Yang Meng is also a Zhao family industry. However, although Zhao Jiadi is Zhao Xiaofeng's son."

"But you should be very clear about such a large family. The rights and wrongs inside are no different from the ancient royal family."

"Zhao Xiaofeng has many children, and Zhao Jiadi is just one of them. So, this guy also wants to make a name for himself in the elite class in order to increase his say in the Zhao family. So... this person is one of your competitors for the first place in the final exam!"

Gao Feng shook his head and said, then patted Lu Sheng on the shoulder and said softly.

"In addition... Zhao Xiaofeng has also joined the Ascension Sect!"

With this identity alone, as long as he doesn't court death and behaves honestly, I'm afraid even Tianqi Heavy Industries wouldn't easily touch the Zhao family.

"This guy... is he so powerful?"

Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze falling again in the direction Zhao Jiadi left, but Zhao Jiadi's figure was no longer there.

"However, just because you have such a big background doesn't mean you have the right to try to kill me."

Lu Sheng silently wrote Zhao Jiadi's name on the small notebook in his heart.
