Martial Arts Overlord!

"Has the Dragon Scale Realm stabilized?"

Seeing that Lu Jin had finished soaking, Xu Jiang quickly asked with concern. Lu Jin nodded slightly, "Instructor Xu, I must thank you for this free assistance."

Xu Jiang's pupils contracted when he saw the golden dragon scales covering the skin on Lu Jin's arm.

He was once again amazed by Lu Jin's talent, but he didn't know how far Lu Jin could go in the future.

Hopefully, Lu Jin is the kind of genius who possesses exceptional comprehension at any stage, rather than being limited to the stage of tempering the skin membrane.

"Your coach has taught so many students, I can say that Xiao Lu, your talent is at least in the top three."

"Is there anyone more talented than me?" Lu Jin raised an eyebrow.

"That's natural." Xu Jiang said seriously, "Geniuses in this world are as numerous as carp crossing a river. Our Pingshui City is just a small city, like a drop in the ocean compared to the whole world."

"Not to mention the level of genius. Our martial arts school's elite class is already one in ten thousand geniuses, but there will always be someone more talented than them."

"The most talented person in the elite class has already gone to the inner city."

"The inner city," Lu Jin muttered, "the martial arts school located in our inner city?"

"That's right!"

Xu Jiang nodded heavily. "If you can make it to the inner city, it means that your martial arts talent is among the best in this city with a population of hundreds of millions."

"But you don't need to think so much. I think as long as you don't mess things up later, entering the inner city is a sure thing."

"Come, let me teach you a marksmanship technique first."

Xu Jiang didn't say much, but instead led Lu Jin back to the training ground. The next second, he took off the black wristband on his wrist.

Swish swish!

Under the spotlight, the black wrist transformed into a black spear, even stronger than the Soul-Suppressing Aura that Lu Jin had acquired yesterday.

"Your coach also learned marksmanship. This gun is called 'Breaking Through the Sky,' and it's considered the best reward your coach has earned after ten years of working at this martial arts school."

"The martial art I'm about to teach you is called Dragon God Spear. Like Dragon Fist, it's a human-level martial art, but it doesn't have the skin-tempering effect of Dragon Fist."

"But once mastered, it can greatly increase a martial artist's combat ability."

"Watch closely."

As Xu Jiang moved, the black gun in his hand swung around like his arm, and the entire training hall was filled with heart-pounding explosions, and the sound of the gun tip whistling could even be heard.

Each shot was fired with ferocious power, accompanied by Xu Jiang's explanation.

"The weapon is an extension of the limbs, and the way of generating power is the same as the Dragon Fist fighting style. The power starts from the ground, twists the waist and lifts the hips, activates the spine, and finally gathers the power into the gun body."

"Chop, smash, thrust, swing, sweep, block... these are the basic moves of spear techniques, but our Dragon God Spear technique also has several deadly moves!"

"Dragon Battles Across the Eight Desolations!"

Xu Jiang held the black spear in both hands, and it swirled around, seemingly cutting through the surrounding air.

"Use the power of violence to sweep away close enemies, and the dragon moves across the land. This move requires fast gun speed."

"In an instant, he launched a series of thrusts directly at the enemy's vital points."

shhhhhh!

With a whooshing sound, Lu Jin clearly saw the spearhead in Xu Jiang's hand stabbing the same spot repeatedly at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"When the old man nods, the true dragon emerges from the sea."

"And the dragon turned its head."

Clang!

Before Lu Jin could even turn around, Xu Jiangren's spear tip had already pierced the bronze statue behind him.

The explosion immediately resounded, sending the bronze figure flying more than ten meters away, and even causing many cracks to appear.

This surprised Lu Jin, who wondered just how far Xu Jiang's martial arts skills had progressed.

Anyway, for him to send that 1,000-kilogram bronze training dummy flying so far with the tip of his spear, and even crack it, Lu Jin's current strength is still a bit lacking.

In no time, Xu Jiang had demonstrated the entire Dragon God Spear technique. He sheathed his spear, stood up, and looked at Lu Jin, asking in a low voice, "Little Lu, how much have you learned?"

"An ordinary person wouldn't grasp the essentials after watching it once, but you're a genius. I think you should get a basic understanding after watching it once. Take a wooden gun and practice first. If there's anything you don't understand, I can explain it in detail."

After saying this, Xu Jiang ignored Lu Jin and went to rest.

Lu Jin is a genius. If he has to explain a human-level martial art in detail, then Lu Jin's genius is not real.

At this moment, many insights about the Dragon God Spear flashed through Lu Jin's mind, and he took out the Soul-Suppressing Spear from his pocket.

The silver-white cube spun in his palm and then transformed into a silver-white spear, which surprised Xu Jiang.

"This kid...is that rich?"

After all, such a polymer weapon is quite expensive. An ordinary family would have to save for ten years without eating or drinking to buy one, and that would be the worst kind.

While he was still in a daze, Lu Jin had already started swinging his spear, creating shockwaves and causing the air to explode.

The words in front of Lu Jin's retina appeared before his eyes, and they were growing faster as Lu Jin used his gun skills.

[Dragon God Spear: Beginner (53%)]

The effects of the Martial Arts Heart were once again evident. With the improvement of his willpower attribute, he was about to master even a human-level martial art like the Dragon God Spear after just one glance.

Upon seeing Lu Jin's actions, Xu Jiang, who was about to drink water, froze on the spot, his expression filled with unparalleled shock.

"This kid's talent level is beyond my comprehension. It seems I don't need to give him any more guidance."

"I hope this kid can go to the inner city in the future, then I'll have met my annual performance target."

Before long, many people in the training hall focused their attention on Lu Jin, who was practicing his shooting.

After all, the people here practice martial arts, and being able to learn weapons is considered the privilege of being a direct disciple.

"Brother Lu Jin is a monster. I've only been learning to shoot for a short while, but I feel like he could stab me to death with one shot?"

"Eliminate the feeling."

"That big spear in Brother Lu Jin's hand is impressive."

"Of course it looks good." Hearing the crowd's discussion, Chen Wei clicked his tongue. "I gave it to him for half price, but it looks like it was worth every penny."

They will be able to qualify for the elite class assessment and also get to build a good relationship with a genius like Lu Jin.

Losing a little money and getting a beating from your own parents—what are you planning to do?

In a certain corner, Wang Qi's skin emitted a pale yellow light, his eyes blazing as he watched Lu Jin wielding his gun, his anger surging forth.

"ah--!"

"Damn it, how long have you been at the martial arts gym!"

"I was originally supposed to be the direct disciple!"

"That's outrageous! Just because someone is a genius doesn't mean they can bully others!"

Wang Qi grew angrier the more he thought about it. He should have been the one to send Bai Bo to the hospital yesterday.

If Xu Jiang had said earlier that beating Bai Bo into the hospital would make him a disciple, Bai Bo would have been in the hospital for who knows how long.

"fine."

"Haste makes waste. Now that I have broken through the Dragon Scale Realm, neither Lu Jin nor Zhang Ming are a match for me."

As Wang Qi pondered, time slowly passed, and it was already past 8 p.m.

Even though Lu Jin's physical attributes had improved considerably, after practicing continuously for so long, he was still drenched in sweat, his muscles ached, and he felt hungry in his abdomen.

However, the gains were worthwhile.

【Dragon God Spear: Minor Success (6%)】

Attack: 24.7 → 26.4

Speed: 22.5 → 24.3

[Defense: 23.8→24.6]

[Stamina: 22.6→24.1]

[Spirit: 13.9→14.0]

[Willpower: 14.5 → 14.6]

"Indeed, learning marksmanship was the right thing to do." Lu Jin took a deep breath. The comprehension brought about by his martial arts training should lead him to learn more martial arts.

The more martial arts he learns, the faster his strength will improve. Even if he can't bring weapons into the Eternal Night Ruins, the increased attributes will allow him to survive better in that hellish place.

After closing the panel, Lu Jin rubbed his hungry stomach and immediately left the martial arts school. He went out for a hearty meal, then went home and took a medicinal bath to relieve muscle fatigue. It was already past 11 p.m.

Just as Lu Jin was about to lie down on the bed, that familiar dizzying sensation returned.

"It's here again!"

Lu Jin closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, sure enough, what came into view again was the layout of his rented room.

There was no light outside the window, only a cold wind howling wildly, and the blood-stained baseball bat was still sitting in the corner.

Just as Lu Jin was about to pick it up and swing it like a Soul-Suppressing Spear, he suddenly felt his pocket and found a silver-white object in his palm.

It then transformed into a silver-white spear adorned with a golden dragon.

"The Soul-Suppressing Spear?"

"Am I allowed to bring weapons in this time?"

"Is it because the Soul-Suppressing Spear is a high-polymer alloy weapon that I can bring it in?"

Lu Jin's face was filled with joy. Without any hesitation, he immediately opened the door and walked out of his building. The giant monster he had killed earlier was now just a skeleton.

As always, the residential area was dark and dilapidated. Lu Jin gripped his spear and decisively walked out of the area.

The road beneath his feet was covered in moss and cracks, and the cars parked around him were rusty. Every now and then, Lu Jin could hear the sounds of monsters.

This time, Lu Jin didn't dodge. He charged straight towards the source of the sound. According to Lu Jin's estimation, the giant monster that had been killed earlier was the leader of this area.

There should only be ordinary and high-level monsters left around, and that was exactly what Lu Jin thought.

He searched several kilometers outwards from his residential area but found no rare-level monsters.

call out!

The silver-white spear tip pierced the head of a high-level monster, and a stream of light suddenly converged into Lu Jin's body.

You have obtained a high-level attribute source.

Upon seeing these words, Lu Jin frowned. He naturally liked high-level attribute sources, but there were too few of them.

Lu Jin originally thought that he could collect more mysterious light orbs by going outside his own residential area, but he did not expect that there were not as many mysterious light orbs in other places outside the residential area as there were in his own residential area.

Lu Jin entered hotels, supermarkets, and residential areas within a few kilometers of the city. He obtained the most mysterious orbs of light in the residential areas, followed by killing monsters.

A total of 53 ordinary attribute sources, two advanced attribute sources, six ordinary breakthrough dream essences, and one advanced breakthrough dream essence were collected.

His attributes and proficiency with the Dragon God Spear have undergone another transformation!

【Dragon God Spear: Mastery (66%)】

Attack: 26.4 → 34.9

Speed: 24.3 → 32.8

[Defense: 24.6→33.1]

[Stamina: 24.1→32.6]

[Spirit: 14.0→21.5]

[Willpower: 14.6 → 22.1]

"This upgrade to Eternal Night's Return to the Void! Awesome!"

Lu Jin felt the power within his body. If he was lucky, entering the Eternal Night Ruins once would improve his martial arts skills much faster than he had practiced for a long time.

Of course, the prerequisite for improvement is survival.

"It seems there are no more mysterious orbs of light in this large area that can help me improve."

Lu Jin sighed. He had searched almost every corner and found some clues about the Eternal Night Ruins.

Earlier, while searching through a residential area, he entered a room where a notebook contained the following sentence.

"Eternal Night Returns to Ruins, a Man-Made Catastrophe!"

"Man-made disaster?" Lu Jin shook his head. He didn't understand why they said that, and he was too lazy to think about it.

Whether it's a natural disaster or a man-made one, if they provoke me, I'll kill them all.

Gazing at the distant darkness, Lu Jin fell into deep thought, unsure whether to continue exploring.

He proceeded with extreme caution during this exploration, as he was unsure of the exact size of the rare monster's territory.

He might have entered the territory of other monsters if he had taken a few more steps.

"What's there to be afraid of! My strength has increased greatly now, and I should be able to escape unscathed even if I encounter danger."

With that in mind, Lu Jin immediately began exploring deeper into the area. He chose a residential complex located a few kilometers away from his rented apartment, where the prices were relatively high.

Based on his experience from the previous exploration, the neighborhood had the most mysterious light clusters, so Lu Jin planned to focus his future searches on that neighborhood.

Under the black fog, Lu Jin arrived at the entrance of the residential area in no time. Each building had more than 30 floors, making it a wealthy neighborhood.

As soon as he reached the door, Lu Jin heard the monster's howl, which made his blood and qi surge.

Before Lu Jin could even react, he felt like he was being pricked by thorns.

Swish!

Without hesitation, Lu Jin turned his dragon head back and thrust out his spear. Before he could turn around, the spear arrived first!

With a snap!

The tip of the gun struck a sharp object, producing a deafening explosion that sent Lu Jin staggering back half a step.

Upon closer inspection, a dark monster with a strangely shaped head, walking upright, slowly appeared before Lu Jin in the mist.

It was exactly the same as what he had seen in reality that day, which immediately made Lu Jin's pupils shrink!

...
