Martial Arts Overlord!

After looking around and confirming that it was safe, Lu Jin immediately walked towards the location emitting the red light.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be something resembling an electronic device, which still had residual power, indicating that it used a polymer battery and was currently buried deep in the ground.

"On another note, why would the Eternal Night Ruins cause all the electricity to disappear?"

"Does this so-called cult organization really possess such extraordinary abilities?"

Lu Jin shook his head, somewhat puzzled.

If it weren't for the danger exclamation mark displayed on the screen, the tiny bit of electricity remaining, and the fact that he had activated his Heavenly Eye, Lu Jin wouldn't have noticed anything.

However, just as Lu Jin reached out to touch it, a dizzying sensation swept over him along with the words on his retina.

The next second, when Lu Jin opened his eyes, he had already returned to the real world.

"Alas, this time he almost died young again."

Thinking back to the attack from the three-eyed monster, Lu Jin was still shaken. If the monster's defense had been any more terrifying, he probably would have had no choice but to flee.

Looking at the front of his retina, a word that Lu Jin had never seen before appeared, brought by that electronic device.

[Special Item: Fist Slave Illustrations (Four types of Fist Slave Illustrations have been collected)]

Bloodthirsty Hounds, Mutated Corpses, Six-Armed Vajra, Three-Eyed Demons

"This is…"

As Lu Jin's mind stirred, the full appearance of each monster appeared before his eyes.

The bloodthirsty hound was the four-limbed crawling fist slave monster he killed, while the mutated corpse walked upright on two legs, much like a human.

The Six-Armed Vajra was the three-headed, six-armed fist slave he had killed, and the Three-Eyed Demon was, of course, the one who gave him the Heavenly Eye.

In addition to the monster's name, the monster encyclopedia also displays the monster's specific attributes.

For example, the weakest bloodthirsty hound that Lu Jin encountered was the smaller kind.

[Tier 1 Lower-Rank Bloodthirsty Hound: Attack 6.8... HP 5.6]

"They're about the same as a first-stage Skin Refining Realm martial artist. What about the six-armed Vajra I killed before and the three-eyed demon just now?"

[Tier 2 Superior Six-Armed Vajra: Attack 45.3, Defense 42.9...]

[Second-Tier Ultimate Three-Eyed Demon: Attack 143.2, Speed ​​53.7, Defense 61.3, Spirit 53.4...]

hiss!

Upon seeing the description of the Three-Eyed Demon, Lu Jin gasped. Its attack attribute was almost twice as high as his own; no wonder its attack was so terrifying.

It feels like speed and defense were sacrificed in exchange for increased attack power.

"There are so many varieties. It seems that the transformation from humans to fist-slave monsters is like evolution, with many different paths..."

"I don't know what other types there are."

"First tier, second tier, basically correspond to the strength of each realm of a martial artist, which means there are even more powerful beings..."

Thinking about this, Lu Jin became increasingly irritable.

There are monsters in the Eternal Night Ruins that are many times more powerful than he is now. What if he encounters one of them when he enters the Eternal Night Ruins?

That's nothing but death!

"They really won't let me stop at all."

Lu Jin gritted his teeth. If he dared to stop his pace of becoming stronger, he would very likely die suddenly.

After all, although he has now cleared out most of the area centered around his rented house, the fist slave is mobile.

Who knows what might happen if the monster goes haywire one day and he encounters an incredibly powerful monster, leaving him nowhere to escape.

Although they seem to have survived this time, the risks ahead are still numerous.

Fortunately, this trip was quite fruitful. Although the monster encyclopedia does not directly increase combat power, it did allow Lu Jin to understand the strength classification of monsters.

and also…

Lu Jin's eyes flashed, and the panel quickly unfolded in front of him.

[Dragon Shadow: Great Success (86%)]

Dragon Fist: Ultimate

[Dragon Elephant Skill: Perfected+]

[Dragon God Spear: Perfection+]

Attack: 69.1 → 81.3

Speed: 73.8 → 86.0

[Defense: 65.2→77.4]

[Stamina: 64.8→78.0]

[Spirit: 29.3→41.5]

[Willpower: 29.5 → 41.7]

"If I could, I just want a peaceful life. Damn boxing slaves, damn cults!"

Lu Jin was not only worried about the Eternal Night's Return to the Void, but also knew that in reality, the cult was already plotting the Fist Slave disaster.

Even if he never returns to the Eternal Night, he will eventually face the calamity of the Fist Slave in reality.

If no one can solve it, it will end up just like the eternal night and the ruins.

The world became deathly silent!

Lu Jin will either die or become a fist slave!

But Lu Jin didn't want to!

"I swore I would never let myself die again!"

Lu Jin took a deep breath. Since he didn't want to die or become a monster in the future fist slave disaster, he had to be prepared.

Then he only has one path left to take!

Once you become strong enough, kill all those cults and fist slaves, you will naturally be safe!

"Extreme Master!"

"Add more for me!!"

Thinking of this, Lu Jin didn't hesitate at all and instantly clicked the "+" sign next to the Dragon Elephant Technique.

Compared to pushing the Dragon God Spear to its limit, the Dragon Elephant Technique is more important.

With the Dragon Elephant Technique reaching its limit, Lu Jin can then reach the fifth realm of flesh refining, a realm that no one else can attain!

In an instant, a flash of white light appeared, and Lu Jin felt his body become warm and comfortable. His blood and qi began to boil wildly, completely out of his control, with crackling and popping sounds rising and falling.

Lu Jin could clearly feel his muscles breathing, frantically absorbing the energy within his body to temper them.

Tearing, recombinating, developing, growing, expanding, until it bursts forth with a shimmering golden light.

As Lu Jin channeled his energy, a dragon-elephant phantom, almost solidified, appeared out of thin air and stood atop the ceiling, its form majestic and imposing!

At this moment, Lu Jin's entire body shone with even more golden light, complementing his Water and Fire Immortal Robe, which was at the fifth level of the Skin Membrane Realm.

The two lights converged, making Lu Jin appear as if he were a god!

"Bang bang bang!"

When Lu Jin's two arms collided, a sound similar to the clash of metal was produced.

"My physique has grown once again! And it's terrifyingly powerful!"

Attack: 81.3 → 93.4

Speed: 86.0 → 92.7

[Defense: 77.4→90.5]

[Stamina: 78.0→91.6]

[Spirit: 41.5→42.0]

[Willpower: 41.7 → 42.3]

"This is the improvement brought about by the fifth stage of flesh refining, which is comparable to the many mysterious light orbs I obtained in the Eternal Night Ruins."

"I am invincible in the meat-training realm!"

"I might even be able to put up a fight against someone at the Yi Jin realm."

Looking at the radiant light emanating from his body, Lu Jin's lips curled into a slight smile.

"Since its entire body is radiating golden light, let's name it..."

"An indestructible golden body!"

At this moment, Lu Jin felt that his body was strong enough to withstand rifle bullets.

He is becoming increasingly distant from humanity.

"I wonder how many punches Chu Zhen can withstand from me."

Lu Jin smiled slightly, washed up, and went to sleep. The next morning, he arrived at the top floor of the Tianlong Martial Arts Hall early.

Looking closely, he saw that a lot of people had already gathered. His former coach, Xu Jiang, and several other coaches were there, surrounding the gym owner, Jiang Zheng.

Beside Jiang Zheng sat a handsome young man with a smile on his face, making it impossible to discern his true intentions.

Judging from his appearance, he was no ordinary person; Jiang Zheng even seemed somewhat obsequious.

A large number of martial arts students gradually gathered around, all eagerly awaiting their arrival.

For their branch, the selection and assessment of the elite class every few months, as well as the monthly assessment of the elite class students, are all major events.

Although it may not be relevant to most people, it offers a glimpse into the fierce competition among many geniuses.

Even if it means death, it would be worth it.

Besides, it's free!

Most importantly, today will be the showdown between the rising star Lu Jin and the already well-known Chu Zhen.

Who is truly the top student in the elite class? This has sparked much discussion.

"I think it's Brother Zhen. Although Brother Lu Jin is also very strong, he hasn't been cultivating for very long. It's impossible for him to have reached the Dragon-Elephant Body in just a few days."

"The difference between the third and fourth levels of the Flesh Refining Realm is significant."

"I think so too. Zhen will definitely win. Lu Jin can only be said to have started too late."

"Tai-ge, what do you think?"

After someone finished speaking, they looked at Yang Tai next to them. Yang Tai had already been discharged from the hospital, and the technological level of their era was high.

The martial arts school pays for the nutrient solution, which can quickly heal most non-fatal injuries.

A flicker of fear crossed Yang Tai's eyes. He felt his teeth chattering, his eardrums vibrating, and his body trembling as he frantically shook his head.

"I don't know! I don't know! Lu Jin is a monster! Anything can happen to him!"

Seeing Yang Tai's appearance, the others exchanged bewildered glances.

This is purely because Lu Jin gave him a psychological trauma, turning him into "Lu the Filial Son".

Perhaps he's the only one... no, there are a few other "filial sons" next door too.

Wang Qi appeared dazed. Standing next to him were Bai Bo, who had been discharged from the hospital, and Zhang Ming, who had undergone psychological treatment.

None of the three joined in the discussion about whether Lu Jin or Chu Zhen was stronger.

The more they discuss it, the more unpleasant memories they will recall.

"This person is simply monstrous." Bai Bo sighed; he had spent some time in the hospital.

As a result, he saw Lu Jin become Xu Jiao's personal disciple, an elite class student, and even defeat Yang Tai to become the master's closed-door disciple.

He never dared to think that way, not even in his wildest dreams.

Just as the three of them were lost in thought, Chen Wei's voice continued to flow.

"Bullshit! My brother Lu Jin is invincible! He has the potential to become a peerless grandmaster."

"Who says so? Why can't someone at the third level of Body Refinement defeat someone at the fourth level of Body Refinement? If no one has ever done it, Brother Lu Jin is the first!"

"Besides, given Lu Jin's talent, how can you guarantee he hasn't broken through to the fourth level of the Body Refinement Realm?"

"Chen Wei, you're just bragging."

For a time, Chen Wei was engaged in a heated debate with the group of scholars, which greatly displeased Chu Zhen, who was standing nearby.

He clenched his fist, knowing he would soon show Chen Wei that blowing Lu Jin's name was a mistake.

Chen Wei glanced at Lu Jin and immediately came to greet him.

"Brother Lu Jin, you're here. You absolutely have to defeat Chu Zhen this time. A genius from the inner city martial arts school has come."

"That one?"

Lu Jin looked at the boy sitting next to the owner of the building and spoke quietly.

"That's right." Chen Wei took a deep breath: "His name is Yan Wenzhi, he is 28 years old, but he is already close to the limit. He is a genius of the inner city martial arts school."

"That strong?" Lu Jin was slightly surprised.

At 28, he's already better than their master, Jiang Zhengke, who's almost 40.

The difference is self-evident.

"Yes, he's a little older than Brother Lu Jin, but he started learning martial arts a few years earlier than you. I heard that in the inner city martial arts schools, he's not considered top-tier."

At this point, Chen Wei expressed his strong desire for the inner city branch.

"I heard that this trip was at the request of the curator, and it was specifically for you."

"What do you mean?" Lu Jin asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Didn't you say you wanted to learn more martial arts? But according to the rules, a martial arts school's last disciple can only learn one martial art. So let's see how you perform today before deciding whether to break the rules again."

"Then he will surely be satisfied."

Lu Jin's eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth turned up. The more martial arts he could learn, the stronger he would become.

This was exactly what he needed; he hadn't expected Jiang Zheng to actually take this matter to heart.

At that moment, Yan Wenzhi also noticed Lu Jin and slowly asked, "That's Lu Jin?"

"How is it?" Jiang Zheng asked with a smile.

"Not bad." Yan Wenzhi said with a smile, "I like to train these seemingly unruly guys. When we get into the inner city, I'll give him a good lesson."

"..."

Jiang Zheng's lips twitched. If he didn't know that Yan Wenzhi was talking about training newcomers who had just entered the inner city branch, he would have thought that Yan Wenzhi had some kind of perverse hobby.

"It's about time, let's begin."

In an instant, Jiang Zheng roared, "Assemble!"

A large crowd quickly formed a line, and Jiang Zheng announced in a booming voice, "This is Yan Wenzhi, a genius from the inner city branch. You can call him Senior Brother Yan, or Brother Wen, or Brother Zhi. He possesses strength that is infinitely close to the pinnacle!"

Yan Wenzhi stood up and greeted everyone, and the crowd immediately erupted in an uproar.

"Today is our elite class's monthly assessment day, as I'm sure you all know, but this time is different from usual!"

"In addition to enjoying the agreed-upon benefits, the top three will also be able to participate in the inner city selection of the Tianlong Martial Arts School branches in the eight districts of Pingshui City."

"Once selected, you will have the opportunity to enter the inner city and obtain an inner city residency!"

These words caused the crowd to erupt in uproar once again.

Not to mention entering the inner city martial arts school, even an inner city residency permit is something that money can't necessarily buy.

"Furthermore, the top scorer in the assessment will have the opportunity to learn a new martial art!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhen's eyes lit up instantly. He had missed the opportunity to learn new martial arts as a closed-door disciple, and he absolutely could not miss this opportunity!

"Now, the same old rules apply: round-robin matches in the ring, with the top three determined by performance!"

"I'll go first!" Chu Zhen stepped forward, and everyone made way for him. Then, Chu Zhen landed on the huge arena with lightning speed.

The next second, he stared intently at Lu Jin and extended the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger towards Lu Jin!

"Lu Jin! Come up and fight! Let them fight for third place; you and I will settle this today!"

In an instant, countless eyes focused on Lu Jin!

...
