Martial Arts Overlord!

"At first, people thought it was just a disaster, the extinction of a species..."

"Until that day, they came, and we were all their slaves. The world turned dark, all electricity disappeared, and humanity became..."

"Eternal Night Returns to Nothingness!"

In the cramped rented room, Lu Jin, with a solemn expression, was reading his diary under the dim light of a table lamp.

The diary was slightly dusty, and Lu Jin wrapped himself up tighter as he turned the pages.

"What's next?"

"That's it?"

Unfortunately, with the passage of time, many entries in the diary have become blurred and unclear, leaving only the information that Lu Jin just learned.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Occasionally, the sound of whistling wind could be heard outside the window.

Although the house was enclosed, Lu Jin felt no warmth at all. The cold wind outside continued to blow, lifting the curtains and sending a chill straight to his neck.

The house is no good.

"Eternal Night, technology halted, humanity extinct, the world became a void..."

"So... I've arrived in a post-apocalyptic world?"

"Is this a dream or the real world...?"

Lu Jin closed his diary, his face somewhat pale.

He couldn't tell the difference; he really couldn't tell the difference.

He slowly stood up. He was tall and slender, quite robust, with regular features. At twenty-five, he had a kind of sorrow that shouldn't belong to someone his age.

The fortune teller said he was destined for wealth and honor.

At the age of twenty-five, he will soar to great heights, transforming into a dragon in a moment of glory.

I have to admit…

That old geezer's calculations are absolutely inaccurate!

"What do you mean by me dying suddenly at twenty-eight and transmigrating into a twenty-five-year-old body and that being twenty-five is the year I achieve great success?"

Lu Jin grinned, his words tinged with resentment.

No matter who it is, being suddenly killed by a giant meteorite and then crushed into a meat patty by a steel coil, it would be unacceptable to end up in a strange, alien world.

What saddened Lu Jin even more was that, for six years after graduation, he had been working like a slave, replying to messages in the group every day, fawning over his superiors, and even sending them gifts during holidays.

Having suffered countless grievances and witnessed the coldness of human relationships, I often had to swallow my pride and bear it all.

He finally achieved a small degree of financial freedom in his second year after graduation through e-commerce, driving a Mercedes-Benz with a stand-up emblem, and getting rid of his years of inferiority complex.

After all, one cannot simultaneously possess a Maybach and a sense of inferiority, but good times don't last long.

Later, he fell seriously ill and was on the verge of death. It was as if he had walked through the gates of hell. After spending a lot of money to cure him, Lu Jin thought he could finally enjoy life.

But who would have thought…

Those who survive a great calamity are bound to receive a final blow.

On the highway, in the pouring rain, headlights flashed, a car braked suddenly, a truck came rushing from the opposite lane, and a giant steel coil rolled down.

Haw!

He became an integral part of Maybach.

Just thinking about this made Lu Jin's face turn deathly pale, and pain flashed in his eyes.

Even those who say it doesn't hurt can be pressed down by a steel coil.

"In a sense, I've died twice, but God has given me a third chance."

"I want to live!"

But Lu Jin is very scared now, because it seems that the third chance is about to disappear again.

He was currently in a place of eternal night, without any light, and the whole world was shrouded in mist.

"Eternal Night, Ruins of Return, what kind of place is this?"

Lu Jin frowned, held his breath, and went to the window. He carefully lifted the tattered curtains and looked down from the third floor, ready to explore this world.

Only by knowing himself and his enemy can he survive better.

What came into view was a desolate darkness, with all the tall buildings covered in vines and even beginning to decay. Under the shroud of mist, only a tiny outline could be seen.

Even though he is not nearsighted, the range he can clearly see is only a few meters away.

Within the visible area, dead leaves were everywhere, but no one could be found, just as the saying goes.

The bleak autumn wind blows again today, but the world has changed.

Looking up, all I could see was a dark, oppressive mass, shrouded in mist, making it feel suffocating.

"Where am I?"

"How would I survive in a world without electricity and water?"

He had watched many disaster movies and read apocalyptic novels, but at least there was still hope that some people would survive.

For example, one can survive in extreme temperatures or freezing temperatures, even during eternal night, provided there is electricity.

But the diary he had just checked clearly stated that the power had disappeared.

This means the world has become an ancient society without sunlight.

No food can grow, and without sunlight, life cannot grow in the outside world.

Without electricity and unable to cultivate indoors, this world left Lu Jin feeling somewhat desperate and suffocated.

Because the word "death" is already etched on your forehead.

Death is only a matter of time.

"It's hanging up!"

Lu Jin frowned and posed a soul-searching question.

Other transmigrators are either old men or various systems, so why is he all alone?

After searching, Lu Jin found that he really hadn't been hacked.

This annoyed Lu Jin greatly. Not being able to hang up was practically the same as being dead, and he didn't want to experience that kind of pain and suffocation again!

In my past life, I was half-dead once and became a paper doll once, and I was very young.

Therefore, Lu Jin cherished this opportunity for rebirth immensely. At least he was healthy, and apart from being a little thin, he didn't have any major problems.

The future holds infinite possibilities.

"I don't want to die again!"

Lu Jin gritted his teeth and looked out at the dark night.

"Since the original was able to survive in this kind of world, it means there must be other survivors."

"I'm in a residential area, so there should be many supermarkets there, and there must be supplies."

"We've truly become number one in the world in terms of supplies."

Lu Jin gazed into the vast darkness, hoping to find the supermarket's location through the fog.

But in the very next second!

Suddenly.

A pair of bright green eyes pierced the inky night sky, emerging directly from the mist and immediately meeting Lu Jin's gaze.

hiss!

In an instant, Lu Jin felt that the look in that eyes made his blood stop flowing, and even start to reverse. A sharp chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making Lu Jin's hair stand on end!

Before Lu Jin could react, those bright green eyes drew closer.

Another second.

The green light was getting closer, and a blur of motion, like a black lightning bolt, hurtled toward Lu Jin.

"Holy crap! What is this?!"

The sudden turn of events made Lu Jin's breathing extremely heavy. At that moment, he felt his blood surging and his adrenaline soaring.

Looking out the window again, the green eyes that resembled will-o'-the-wisps in the darkness had appeared downstairs.

This time, following the faint light, Lu Jin could barely make out the green-eyed creature.

It is several meters long, with all four limbs on the ground, resembling a jackal, but several times stronger than a jackal.

"breathe!"

Biting his tongue, Lu Jin used the pain to force himself to calm down; he didn't have time to think too much.

Seeing that the monster was coming straight for him, if he didn't do something, he might die here.

Lu Jin is someone who has died twice.

The suffocating pain of being suffocated by glucose from a ventilator, the agony of being crushed into a meat patty by the steel coils of the Universiade.

All of this made Lu Jin realize how terrible death is.

He quickly looked around the one-bedroom apartment he was in and saw a white baseball bat.

After all, baseball bats are not among the controlled knives and are legal to carry. They are also more useful than swords, but Lu Jin thinks they are not as good as chainsaws.

He grabbed the baseball bat, its heavy weight giving Lu Jin a slight sense of security. His muscles tensed, and in the silence around him, he arrived at the only entrance to the entire house.

Modern wooden gate.

It's over ten centimeters thick; as long as the entryway is sturdy, it's very difficult for flesh and blood to force its way through.

Lu Jin bit his tongue, forcibly steadying his breathing, and gripped the baseball bat tightly.

"As long as I stay in this house, that thing shouldn't be able to break down the door. I'm mostly safe. Trust the house!"

But Lu Jin could vaguely hear footsteps.

Those are not human footsteps.

Tap! Tap!

The sound of footsteps tapping the ground was light and rapid, and within a few seconds, the footsteps stopped at the door of the rented house where Lu Jin was.

Lu Jin waited for about ten seconds, but there was no movement.

He shifted his feet, gripped the baseball bat tightly with both hands, and bit his lip; blood began to seep out from the excessive force.

Sweat appeared on Lu Jin's palms, causing his skin to stick to the surface of the baseball bat.

Bang bang bang!

In the silent rented room, Lu Jin could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

Seeing no movement outside, Lu Jin's eyes widened. He forced himself to hold his breath, but dared not relax his vigilance in the slightest.

Looking through the peephole, Lu Jin saw only darkness.

"Have they left?"

Seeing this scene, Lu Jin was puzzled, but in the next second...

Caught completely off guard!

The roar that pierced Lu Jin's eardrums resounded through the sky, and then those green eyes stared directly at Lu Jin through the cat's eyes.

The stench of blood immediately filled Lu Jin's nostrils, making his heart pound and almost causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

Bang bang bang!

The deafening sound of the door being slammed against the door was frantically stimulating Lu Jin's nerve endings.

He swore!

This is even more terrifying than Sadako crawling out of the TV.

"It's alright, it can't break down the door!"

In the blink of an eye, several visible cracks appeared on the door.

The constant cracking sound of wood breaking left Lu Jin dumbfounded.

"Alpaca!"

"Damn it! I knew the house wouldn't turn out well!"

Lu Jin's eyes were ferocious, his breathing became extremely rapid, and his blood was filled with adrenaline.

Since there's no way to avoid it now.

Then we have no choice but to go all out and fight until we have no regrets.

Lu Jin gripped the baseball bat tightly, raising it high above his head with his legs slightly bent, waiting for the unknown monster to break through and deliver a fatal blow.

In just a few seconds, the monster smashed a huge hole in the door.

A strong arm covered in dark fur reached in first, along with sharp claws that exuded a chilling aura, only a few centimeters away from Lu Jin.

Click!

The arm was tearing along the crack in the hole, trying to enlarge it. Through the hole, Lu Jin could see the monster's full appearance more clearly.

With sharp teeth and claws, and strong, well-defined muscles in its limbs, it resembles a black jaguar against the backdrop of the night.

However, his features were not regular; on the contrary, they were extremely creepy.

Seeing that if the monster continued its unbridled attacks, the house would collapse sooner or later, Lu Jin didn't have time to think or feel fear anymore.

Fear transformed into a desperate instinct, and adrenaline surged at that moment.

Swish.

Lu Jin didn't know where he got the courage, but he suddenly stepped forward and forcefully raised the baseball bat to smash down on the dark arm.

boom!

The sound of the baseball bat hitting the arm mingled with Lu Jin's heavy breathing.

The monster cried out in pain, its strong arms drooping slightly.

This immediately gave Lu Jin hope of surviving.

"No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife."

The unknown monster before them was no different; its flesh and blood were just as fragile as it was when struck by metal rods.

Lu Jin disregarded his strength and immediately raised his hand to smash again.

boom! boom! boom!

The sound of bones breaking echoed continuously, and a stream of heat splashed onto Lu Jin's cheek.

The unbearable stench made Lu Jin feel nauseous, while the heart-wrenching screams outside the door continued unabated.

Slap it.

A flash of white light streaked past Lu Jin's eyes, making the hairs on his body stand on end.

He instinctively crouched down, and immediately felt a cold wind sweep across his scalp, making Lu Jin's blood run cold.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, his throat would have been slit by the monster's other claw.

It was because of his hesitation that his dark, shiny arm struggled to retract from the hole in the door.

Silence returned to outside the door.

Lu Jin didn't have time to think. He used up his last bit of strength, ignoring his panting and the surge of adrenaline that followed.

Although he didn't know what the thing in front of him was, he didn't even know what kind of world he was in.

Lu Jin doesn't want to know now!

At this moment, Lu Jin had only one thought in his mind.

That means taking the opportunity to kill this monster in front of you!

We must never let the tiger return to the mountain!

If the monster hadn't been so careless, and if Lu Jin hadn't launched a sneak attack, he felt he wouldn't have been qualified to fight the monster even with a baseball bat.

At the same time, Lu Jin also knew a principle: take advantage of someone's illness to kill them.

The same applies to monsters!

Beat up the drowning dog!

And for Lu Jin...

Whether it's a monster or any other creature, anyone who wants Lu Jin dead...

Lu Jin was about to kill him. He had barely escaped with his life.

He Lu Jin…

I absolutely will not allow myself to die for the first time again!

Click!

The moment Lu Jin yanked the door open, he immediately raised the baseball bat above his head.

This strike.

Lu Jin used all his strength, even creating a whistling sound in the air.

"Take this!"

Lu Jin roared!

The next second!

The baseball bat slammed into the ground, creating a deep crater in an instant.

The monster had vanished without a trace, leaving only a pool of bright red blood.

And several words appeared in front of Lu Jin's retina.

"Why are you so late!"

Lu Jin was completely numb; he almost died. And now you've arrived.

Why not come a little later, or even wait until he's dead?

"call---!"

Lu Jin used his last bit of strength to return to his room, collapsed onto the floor, drenched in sweat.

The feeling of dancing on the Bridge of Helplessness was truly unsettling. Looking at the panel in front of him, Lu Jin's lips curled up.

At least this time he survived the ordeal and awakened astonishing wisdom.

Just as Lu Jin was about to take a look, a sudden wave of dizziness hit him, making him feel as if his body was falling rapidly.

Snapped!

Everything fell silent, and a white light flickered before Lu Jin's eyes.

"Light, how can there be light?"

"Holy crap! I've time-traveled again?!"

...
