Martial Arts Overlord!

"Dragon Fist Fighting Technique is a style of boxing that everyone in our martial arts school learns. If you master it to the highest level, you can take on a hundred opponents."

"Can that be used to hunt tigers?"

Upon hearing Lu Jin's question, Xu Jiang replied in a deep voice, "What's so difficult about fighting a tiger?"

"I will now teach you the Dragon Fist fighting technique, which is divided into four levels."

"It is divided into python skin, dragon skin, chi skin, and dragon scale. The dragon scale realm is more difficult and those with poor talent cannot reach it. If you reach the chi skin realm, you can learn other martial arts and temper your muscles, fascia, and bones."

Xu Jiang's hand movements kept changing, and in Lu Jin's retina, Xu Jiang's arm actually turned light blue, as if it were covered with scales.

"You shouldn't have too high expectations for Dragon Scale. Our martial arts school has over 100,000 registered students, but less than one in ten thousand have reached the Dragon Scale realm."

"There are thousands of people your age who come to learn martial arts, but even fewer have reached the Dragon Scale Realm; they are few and far between."

"However, if you reach the Dragon Scale Realm, you'll be qualified to directly enter the martial arts academy's elite class selection!"

After saying that, he first demonstrated his skills and then taught Lu Jin some martial arts concepts.

What is martial arts?

"Any fist technique, kicking technique, or fighting style is, in essence, a skill or a routine."

"I'll teach you which methods are most offensive and which stances are best for defense to minimize the damage from your opponent's attacks."

"So...you need to understand a core concept...no matter how well you master the techniques...to remain invincible, martial arts is all about physical strength!"

"It's a contest of who's stronger, faster, and can withstand more blows!"

"One punch from me and you're down, but I can withstand a dozen of your punches. I'm even fast enough to dodge all your attacks. What good is your skill then?"

Lu Jin nodded, saying that the core of martial arts is still about numerical superiority.

If the numerical value is strong enough, even an ordinary punch can be a powerful martial art.

The saying that "of all martial arts, speed is the only thing that cannot be broken" is not an exaggeration.

"Instructor Xu, I've heard that there is a true martial art, where the powerful can move mountains and overturn seas, and prolong their lives."

"That's not something you should be thinking about," Xu Jiang waved his hand. "I'm not even qualified to think about it."

"Come on, I'll teach you step by step now. After today, you'll need to practice on your own."

"The master leads you through the door, but the cultivation depends on yourself."

Under Xu Jiang's guidance, Lu Jin began to learn some of the movements of the Dragon Fist fighting style.

The first is the horse stance, also known as the Heavenly Dragon Stance. This is a training method of Dragon Fist fighting techniques and is key to strengthening a martial artist's physique.

Even if you don't practice offensive or physical techniques, consistently practicing this will make your body much stronger.

But practicing martial arts is really difficult, especially for someone like Lu Jin who is not used to exercise.

Putting everything else aside, just the horse stance alone made Lu Jin feel uncomfortable, with a dry, astringent feeling in his legs.

After squatting for only a few minutes, his legs began to tremble, his forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and his posture became somewhat crooked.

"Power comes from the ground. Imagine you are riding a horse, and your legs should grip the horse's back tightly."

"Keep your back straight! Use your legs! Use more force!" Xu Jiang was very strict in his instruction, constantly helping Lu Jin adjust his movements.

"Your feet are the source of your strength at this stage!"

"Power originates from the root, is controlled by the waist, manifests in the spine, and is expressed in the hands."

"It means you need to adjust your posture. After you exert force with your legs, your waist, spine, and arms should not fail to transmit the power properly due to posture problems."

Xu Jiang supported Lu Jin's back and helped him adjust his posture. The clicking sound made Lu Jin grimace.

pain!It hurts so much!

At that moment, he felt like he was about to have a herniated disc.

Xu Jiang shook his head as he watched Lu Jin grit his teeth and persevere.

"This is what I meant by being too old; your body and bones are already set, and you'll need to put in a lot more effort to adjust them."

"you see me."

After saying that, Xu Jiang's burly body actually did a split, then he slapped the ground with one palm and instantly returned to his original position.

"Your talent is neither great nor bad. Just practice hard. Remember, if you want to achieve something, you have to persevere."

Xu Jiang coached Lu Jin for several hours and then left, leaving Lu Jin alone in the huge venue, sweating profusely.

There are more than a dozen coaches like Xu Jiang in this martial arts school, and each of them has a group of students.

After all, he had a large number of students under his command. The population of this world was more than a hundred times that of Lu Jin's previous life. Xu Jiang had more than 10,000 registered students, including Lu Jin, and several hundred students came to study at this time every day. He couldn't afford to waste too much time on Lu Jin.

And it's always like this: on the first day of registration, they patiently guide you, and the rest of the time depends on your own understanding and talent.

They will only spend more time giving guidance to those who are more talented.

Just like going to school, teachers always tend to favor top students.

"Power originates from the root..."

Lu Jin adjusted his breathing and continued to swing his fists as instructed by Xu Jiang.

With each punch, he felt his blood and qi surging, and his skin felt warm and comfortable.

A few hours later, a new word appeared in front of the retina.

【Dragon Fist: Beginner (5%)】

"His talent isn't exceptional, but it's not bad either."

"I practiced for about 4 hours and gained 5% more proficiency."

Lu Jin looked around and noticed that there were several other people who had come to learn boxing with him today. They were about the same age as him, but their movements were even uglier than his.

Furthermore, Lu Jin possesses a unique advantage.

That is, he can see his progress every day, and that feeling is addictive.

Lu Jin drank the mineral water in one gulp, his dry lips were moistened, but his whole body felt a little weak.

Lu Jin was somewhat envious of some of the more skilled people; he had only practiced for a few hours and his whole body was already sore.

But some people can practice for seven or eight hours a day and still be perfectly fine, and they're full of energy the next day.

Looking at the time, it was a little past 4 pm. Lu Jin decided to fill his rumbling stomach first, and then look for a job.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been killed by the monster yet.

They just starved to death.

However, just as Lu Jin was about to leave, a few figures walked past him, and the content of their conversation reached Lu Jin's ears.

"Stop talking. If only I could get into the elite class, I would not only receive personal guidance from Master Jiang every day, but I would also be exempt from tuition fees, learn more advanced martial arts, and be provided with special medicines to nourish my body."

"Not only that, there's also a salary. I heard it's 20,000 to 30,000 a month."

"You're overthinking it. Is it that easy to get into the elite class? Aren't all the people who get into the elite class geniuses? We can just train to improve our physical fitness."

Hearing their voices, Lu Jin looked up at the ceiling. On the top floor was where the elite students trained, personally guided by the headmaster, Jiang Zheng.

In contrast to the crowded place where Lu Jin was, there were only a few hundred people in the elite class.

In other words, it refers to private lessons taught by the instructors.

"Elite Class... Advanced Martial Arts..."

"And wages..."

"It's so tall, it seems like it would suit me quite well."

Lu Jin repeated it, then raised an eyebrow, some thoughts in his mind.

They can focus on martial arts training and earn a high salary.

Furthermore, since Lu Jin has chosen to practice martial arts, he naturally wants to become stronger.

He believes in doing things to the best of his ability, and it is with this mindset that Lu Jin was able to achieve financial freedom at a young age in his previous life.

The first rule of the Lu Family Annals is: either don't do it at all, or do it to be number one!

And he must become stronger quickly!

Only then could he resist that unknown monster.

"I admit I'm very afraid of dying."

Moving his aching feet out of the martial arts gym, Lu Jin went to a restaurant and spent 15 yuan to order a plate of stir-fried pork with chili and rice.

At the same time, I'm scrolling through several apps, including "BOSS rejected me," "Unreachable recruitment," "My future is uncertain," and "58.com is a scam."

Lu Jin's worries have just come true.

Finding a job was difficult in my past life, but I never imagined it would be difficult even after transmigrating.

the most important is--

The wages are just as low!

"Nightclub security guard it is, 8000 a month, only 6 hours a day, and not far away."

"Why bother with bicycles? You can save yourself decades of detours."

Lu Jin submitted his resume, thinking that with his physique, he should have no problem getting a job as a nightclub security guard. He wiped his lips and walked out of the restaurant with aching legs.

But at that very moment, the dizziness returned, and his world changed.

The light vanished, turning into endless darkness; the once bustling metropolis was now a decaying concrete jungle.

A chill swept over Lu Jin, causing goosebumps to rise all over his body.

"Wait, what does this mean? Does it mean I can enter anytime, anywhere?!"

Lu Jin frowned. He never expected that he had just walked out of the restaurant.

And so, we entered the Eternal Night Ruins once again!

He wasn't even in the rented room; the open ground was shrouded in black mist, and endless cold winds blew against Lu Jin, making him feel completely unsafe.

His muscles were tense; he planned to find a weapon and then hide somewhere.

In Lu Jin's opinion, food was no longer needed.

Having experienced it once, he knew he wouldn't stay long in the Eternal Night Ruins.

His only concern was the monsters in this place and surviving their attacks.

As Lu Jin walked through the darkness,

Suddenly, Lu Jin looked closely and saw a ball of light not far ahead, standing out starkly against the pitch-black night.

"What is that?"

"Is it an artificial heat source?"

...
