Martial Arts Overlord!

In an instant, Lu Jin felt as if the blood in his body had frozen, but fortunately, his attributes in all aspects had increased significantly compared to before.

His own speed was even faster, and with a slight sidestep, the monster's claws just brushed past him.

boom!

It crashed onto the decaying ground with a deafening sound, instantly creating a huge cloud of smoke. The ground shattered into pieces, and debris flew everywhere.

The stone hit Lu Jin's skin, causing him a slight pain. Seeing the scene before him, goosebumps instantly appeared all over his body.

"So strong!"

"It must be the monster leader near this neighborhood."

"My guess was right. Monsters also live in packs, like wild beasts. This monster carrying another monster back means it went hunting, but it ate its own kind."

"What the hell is this place?"

Before Lu Jin could react, the monster roared like thunder again, filled with rage as if it felt that all its kind in its domain had been killed by Lu Jin.

Bang it!

With a leap, it hurtled towards Lu Jin like Mount Tai crashing down, its massive body possessing terrifying speed.

The claws emitted a cold glint as they slashed straight down at Lu Jin's forehead.

too fast!

Even though Lu Jin's attributes had increased considerably, he still didn't have enough time to react to the monster's attack, which made him secretly glad that he hadn't rashly left the residential area.

The monster in front of him was covered in wounds. If he rashly left the residential area, he would probably become the monster's meal.

With his hands raised above his head in a powerful, muscular stance, he clashed with the monster's dark arms.

At that moment, Lu Jin felt as if his body was about to fall apart, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked open, with a series of cracking sounds!

The next second, the monster's other claw swept across, aiming straight for Lu Jin's throat. Fortunately, Lu Jin reacted and was fast enough.

He bent over abruptly, and the monster's claws were only one centimeter away from his throat. Lu Jin could even feel the sharpness of the claws.

If he hadn't dodged just now, he would probably be dead by now. And after missing his target, the monster seemed to have a mind of its own and attacked Lu Jin again.

Although seriously injured, his speed and strength were on a completely different level from the high-level monsters that Lu Jin had killed.

This monster is terrifyingly strong!

Most importantly, such monster hunting can also result in serious injury.

"Damn it!"

"This place is truly fraught with danger!"

In no time, Lu Jin had exchanged more than ten blows with the monster, even though he had already reached the Chi Skin Realm, which greatly increased his skin's defensive power.

But he could still feel the intense pain in his torso and the flesh torn open by the monster's claws.

Beep—!

Bright red blood gathered into beads on Lu Jin's arm and fell to the ground. Lu Jin punched the monster's arm, but it was easily blocked. However, he was knocked back dozens of steps by the reaction force.

"Whoosh—whoosh—!"

In an instant, Lu Jin's breathing became extremely heavy, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the monster before him, the threat of death filling his mind.

"We haven't returned yet, so we can't fight head-on. We might win if we fight head-on, but the risks are too high."

Lu Jin cried out in his heart, but there was no sign of the dizziness that was returning. All he could hear was his own panting and the sound of the monster grinding its teeth.

"roar--!"

The monster moved its limbs slowly and let out a roar that made Lu Jin's ears ring and his heart sink to the bottom.

"We must minimize the risks."

"I don't want to crash and die here!"

In an instant, Lu Jin had an idea. He gritted his teeth and hardened his heart. Since he couldn't win by fighting head-on, he would use his extraordinary wisdom!

Before the monster could attack again, Lu Jin immediately slipped away and ran straight towards the entrance of a residential building.

Lu Jin wanted to take a gamble!

A moment later, it was clear that his gamble had paid off. The monster immediately gave chase when it saw Lu Jin running away, and chased after him until they reached the building's entrance.

With a sudden lunge, most of his body slammed into the wall of the entrance, causing some cracks to appear in the reinforced concrete.

"Awooo—!"

Several steel bars and concrete were pierced into the monster's flesh and blood, and its body was directly stuck inside, causing the monster to let out a miserable scream.

"I told you to use your wisdom!"

"You're far from capable of killing me!"

Seeing this, Lu Jin breathed a heavy sigh of relief, realizing that the monster was trying to break free from the narrow entrance.

Lu Jin quickly stopped, his blood energy immediately surged, and his speed and power were pushed to the limit.

With a leap, he jumped more than a meter high and suddenly landed on top of the monster's head, his fists clenched tightly.

With a furious roar, like Wu Song fighting a tiger, he smashed punch after punch into the monster's head!

Bang bang bang!

As Lu Jin's fists continued to fall, the monster's struggles became more violent, and the sound of the walls cracking continued incessantly, merging with the monster's agonizing howls to form the symphony of this eternal night.

The monster's blood splattered on Lu Jin's face, hot and foul-smelling, which drove Lu Jin even more insane!

Ignoring his exhaustion, Lu Jin only knew that if he didn't kill the monster in front of him, he would die here.

He doesn't want to die!

"Keep it quiet!"

The muscles were incredibly grotesque, the skin was stained with blood, and the blue dragon skin was faintly visible. Lu Jin didn't know how many punches he had thrown; he only knew that his adrenaline was surging, and his entire cheeks were soaked in the monster's blood.

In the dim night, he rode atop the enormous monster like an invincible demon king, his fists leaving afterimages.

Under his frenzied attack, the monster gradually stopped struggling and howling, until Lu Jin roared and used his last bit of strength to land a punch on the monster's skull.

Click!

The sound of bones shattering echoed, and gradually, the sound became more intense. Visibly, a crack the width of a fingernail appeared in the middle of the monster's head, which was covered with dark fur.

puff--!

The next second, blood and brain matter mingled together and splattered all over Lu Jin's body. The monster finally stopped resisting, and its head drooped limply to the ground with a deafening sound!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."

Lu Jin fell to the ground from the monster's head, struggled to his feet, his arms hanging naturally at his sides, panting heavily, his blood-stained eyes fixed on the monster before him.

Immediately afterward, a beam of light shot out from the monster's body and landed in Lu Jin's palm before Lu Jin could even examine it.

The dizzying, disorienting feeling returned, and when Lu Jin opened his eyes again, he was lying on the sofa in his rented apartment.

Looking at the light outside the window, Lu Jin quickly took a deep breath, and the exhaustion he felt from fighting the monster disappeared completely.

"It's so good to be alive!"

Lu Jin examined his body and found that the flesh that had been cut off by the monster had been restored to its original state, which immediately relaxed Lu Jin's tense nerves.

Based on his experience of entering the Eternal Night Ruins several times, he will not enter the Eternal Night Ruins a second time in the near future.

Thinking back to that near-death experience, Lu Jin still felt a slight lingering fear.

He swore that the moment he faced that monster in the Eternal Night Ruins was the closest he had ever come to death since he began practicing martial arts!

"There won't be a next time!"

Lu Jin forced himself to defeat the monster, which meant that there shouldn't be any monsters of this level in the vicinity of his rented house.

After all, two tigers cannot share one mountain. Two monsters this strong will not dwell too close together. Most likely, there will only be high-level and ordinary monsters around. He can move around more widely next time he enters the Eternal Night Ruins.

But if he encounters a monster of this level again, he has to run, because the monster he just killed was injured and not at its peak.

Lu Jin estimated that if he were at his peak, he wouldn't have been able to last that long.

"I want to become stronger!"

"No one can make me die a second time—human, monster, whatever it is, even the King of Heaven himself!"

Lu Jin's eyes became incredibly determined, and even a little crazy.

"I must earn money. I can't let money affect my cultivation progress. With money, I can buy better medicine for cultivation."

"And we absolutely have to go to that elite class, and this time it has to be!"

"I must become stronger as quickly as possible, no matter the cost, to become stronger than the monster."

"Starting today..."

"I don't want to be human anymore!!"

The next second, Lu Jin took out the mysterious ball of light that he had obtained at the risk of his life, and a line of words immediately appeared in front of his retina.

You have obtained a rare-level skill, Radiant Light.
