Martial Arts Overlord!

As a white light flashed before Lu Jin's eyes, he felt an unparalleled power surge within him once again.

It was violent and surging, causing his blood and energy to surge throughout his body.

Visibly, the dragon shadow and dragon god spear on the panel in front of him were changing.

The understanding and insights gained about these two martial arts surged into Lu Jin's mind once again, and were far deeper and more refined than before. In the end, Lu Jin absorbed and digested them completely, making them a part of his body.

【Dragon God Sky-Piercing Spear: Ultimate】

【Eight Trigrams Swimming Dragon Steps: The Ultimate】

Attack: 105.1 → 120.4

Speed: 124.5 → 136.7

[Defense: 100.8→111.3]

[Stamina: 101.2→112.4]

[Spirit: 64.5→65.0]

[Willpower: 64.7 → 65.1]

Seeing his two martial arts undergo a transformation under the influence of the Ultimate Profound Pearl, their power far exceeding that of the perfected stage, and his attributes also experiencing a surge again.

This made Lu Jin groan comfortably!

"That's right! That's the feeling!"

"This is what it feels like to become stronger!"

Lu Jin clenched his fist and touched his muscles, which were as hard as iron.

Today's journey into the Eternal Night Ruins has at least doubled his strength.

Although he had not yet reached the Yi Jin realm, Lu Jin was truly confident in dealing with martial artists at the Yi Jin realm.

The attributes of a martial artist who has just entered the Yi Jin Jing realm are probably similar to his.

"I still need to learn the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Technique) as soon as possible; things in the Eternal Night Void are getting stranger and stranger."

"Learn the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Technique), learn more martial arts, and continue to grow stronger rapidly!"

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Jin drifted off to sleep. The next day, after washing up, he arrived at the martial arts school, where students greeted him warmly from all around.

And the discussion was all about Lu Jin. For most ordinary students, Lu Jin was practically a god in their hearts.

After all, most people can hear about geniuses online, but it's rare to actually meet a genius like Lu Jin in real life.

In less than a month, he went from being a novice in martial arts to reaching the fourth level of flesh training. What else could he be but a genius?

Some people even think that Lu Jin is among those who are about to begin the inner city assessment of the eight regional branches.

In terms of talent and strength, he is an outstanding individual, perhaps even number one!

Lu Jin wasn't overly complacent about these comments, because his current strength was indeed quite good in this branch.

But looking at the whole city, he wasn't even qualified.

Take Yan Wenzhi, the genius from the inner city branch who came yesterday, for example. He is about the same age as Lu Jin, but he has already reached the threshold of the extreme realm.

Not to mention there are even more terrifying geniuses than Yan Wenzhi.

When Lu Jin arrived at the elite class, everyone who saw him respectfully called him "Brother Lu Jin." Even Chen Wei was called "Brother Wei" because of his good relationship with Lu Jin.

Beside the museum owner Jiang Zheng, Chu Zhen and Yang Tai stood quietly, their expressions calm and without the slightest impatience.

Normally, if they were asked to wait for one person, they would definitely not care.

But now they are waiting for Lu Jin, so naturally they have no complaints.

Although the two were a bit arrogant, they were not sore losers.

A loss is a loss.

Upon seeing Lu Jin arrive, the two quickly made way for him, and Jiang Zheng nodded to Lu Jin.

"Alright, Xiao Lu is here, so let's get straight to the other participants in this inner city selection."

As Jiang Zheng finished speaking, a large screen behind him scrolled through the information of many people. The first one was a man, whose age was similar to that of Lu Jin and the others.

"This person is called Fang Ming, 25 years old. He joined the Tianlong Martial Arts School branch in Changyu District half a year ago and won first place in the martial arts school's elite disciple assessment a few days ago."

"He has now reached the fourth level of the Flesh Refining Realm, and he is also proficient in a sword technique."

"There are no restrictions on weapons for this inner city selection. The three of you should have all learned marksmanship, so I won't say any more."

As Jiang Zheng continued his introduction, Chu Zhen and Yang Tai's expressions gradually became serious.

The top three basic information of each regional branch appeared before them.

Each of them had not been practicing martial arts for long, but they had already reached the fourth level of the Flesh Refining Realm, and their combat power was terrifying. None of them were inferior to the two of them.

Trying to get the qualification to go to the inner city branch from among these monsters is like hellish difficulty.

No wonder everyone at the inner city branch is a genius.

Their branch schools already have elite students who are the best of the best, and the top three in the assessment will be selected even more.

The selection process for the inner-city branch is even more brutal.

However, Lu Jin's expression did not change at all. They were all at the fourth level of the Body Refinement Realm, which posed no threat to him whatsoever.

Even if weapons can be used in this assessment.

When Jiang Zheng introduced the last person's information, his expression became extremely serious, and his tone became extremely solemn.

"The people I introduced before are at best on par with the three of you, but if you encounter this one, you should just admit defeat if you're not confident!"

"There can be many selections, but once you suffer an irreparable injury, it will ruin your martial arts path."

As soon as he finished speaking, a very young face appeared on the big screen, with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Luo Yuansheng, 24 years old, ranked first in the elite class assessment of Tianzhen District Martial Arts School. He joined the martial arts school three months ago and began to learn martial arts. He is at the fourth level of Muscle Refining, but he also possesses a very powerful martial art that is no weaker than the second level of Tendon Changing."

"Moreover, this person never holds back when sparring with others. During the recent elite class assessment at their branch, many students were seriously injured by him and had to go to the hospital. Some of them even received intravenous nutrition but may still suffer from aftereffects."

hiss!

As soon as Jiang Zheng finished speaking, Yang Tai exclaimed in surprise, "How can someone with combat power comparable to the Yi Jin Jing realm participate! Where did he get such powerful martial arts?"

Chu Zhen quickly added, "Aren't the branch offices going to take care of this? They've already caused some lingering problems."

"In martial arts sparring, injuries are inevitable," Jiang Zheng said in a deep voice. "Their branch's elite class assessment is a few days earlier than ours."

"I said that the top scorer in the branch's elite class assessment can spend money to learn a martial art."

"He then learned a martial art called Dragon Burst Fist, whose power was no less than the full-force strike of a martial artist at the second level of the Yi Jin Jing."

"Just yesterday, he had already mastered it to a certain level. There's someone who's learning the same martial art as him who hasn't even scratched the surface. This martial art is extremely difficult, but for Luo Yuansheng, it's no challenge at all. That's talent!"

"I only found out about this when I was compiling the data. This person is ruthless when he sparrs, so I specifically pointed this out to warn you to be careful."

"Xiao Lu, you can also choose this martial art when the time comes."

Upon hearing Jiang Zheng's words, Chu Zhen and Yang Tai exchanged glances, hoping they wouldn't run into this person in the early stages of the selection process.

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow; possessing the explosive power of the second level of the Yi Jin Jing was indeed a bit troublesome.

But only a little bit.

He didn't actually break through to the second level of the Yi Jin Jing.

After reviewing the list, Chu Zhen and Yang Tai hurried off to cultivate. Although the selection process was fiercely competitive, they still wanted to secure a spot in the inner city branch.

Even with Lu Jin in front and Luo Yuansheng behind.

Isn't there still one spot left?

Although the top students in each branch have the opportunity to learn a new martial art, learning it does not guarantee victory!

Lu Jin then went to the instrument and did a simple test of his punching power.

With a bang.

1698.78kg.

In his previous life, he wouldn't have been considered human.

Of course, the same applies to this world; it surpasses that of many ordinary humans.

However, after testing his punching power, Lu Jin was actually confused.

Because it seems he has nothing left to cultivate.

All martial arts techniques have reached their peak, but the method of training the flesh must be learned after entering the inner city branch.

This made Lu Jin feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Just as he was lost in thought, the owner of the museum, Jiang Zheng, quietly appeared in front of him, his brows furrowed: "Xiao Lu, do you have any way to raise 100 million on your own? I can lend you some."

"What's wrong?" Lu Jin asked, puzzled. He could still scrape together the money, through online loans and borrowing from Xu Jiang, but didn't Jiang Zheng tell him to apply for a loan for his martial arts school?

"It's nothing."

Jiang Zheng sighed: "It's that Luo Yuansheng I just told you about. The head of their branch, Lü Yang, is no good. He likes to do dirty tricks behind people's backs."

"After all, our martial arts school needs approval from the inner city branch to get a loan. Although Lu Yang doesn't have the ability to stop it, everyone has a few friends."

"Even I can ask a friend at the inner city branch to delay the process for a few days, and maybe the loan won't be approved until the selection process starts."

"By then you can learn the martial arts as a reward, but by then it will be of little use."

"Of course, if he hadn't stopped me, the money would have arrived today. Then I could pay and see which martial art I wanted to learn, and the inner city branch would send someone over to teach me."

"oh."

Lu Jin nodded calmly, looking at the 16 Breakthrough Dream Essences he had obtained last night, and immediately waved his hand: "That doesn't matter, let him cause trouble if he wants to use underhanded methods."

"I don't care."

"However, I will borrow money at the same time, so it's better to start cultivating sooner."

After all, he had nothing left to cultivate with, and then Lu Jin changed the subject.

"By the way, Master, is there any way for me to obtain the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Technique) before I enter the inner city branch to study?"

Jiang Zheng was somewhat taken aback, then frowned and said, "There is such a way, which is to make a great contribution to the martial arts school."

"What constitutes a significant contribution?"

"For example, helping the martial arts school win a prestigious competition championship, promoting the school's reputation, etc., might get the school to grant you a reasonable request."

"The method of Yi Jin Jing... isn't too excessive."

"A tremendous contribution."

Lu Jin muttered a few words, feeling somewhat annoyed. Where could he go to make a significant contribution to the martial arts school?

Seeing Lu Jin's appearance, Jiang Zheng patted him on the shoulder: "Don't rush, hone your combat experience well in the week before the selection begins."

"With your skills, getting into the inner city branch is a piece of cake!"

Jiang Zheng's words were fine with others, but for Lu Jin, having to wait another week was simply unbearable.

However, there was no good solution at the moment, so Lu Jin could only idly guide Chen Wei, hoping to find a way to get him into the inner city branch as well.

Meanwhile, in another part of their city, at the Tianlong Martial Arts School branch in Tianzhen District, the owner, Lü Yang, was on the phone with a smile on his face.

"Okay, thank you! I'll treat you to drinks once I'm inside the inner city!"

After hanging up the phone, Lü Yang, in his thirties, looked smugly at the young man in the distance who was relentlessly bombarding the bronze statue. He picked up a stack of documents and walked over.

"Xiao Sheng, you're definitely going to get first place in this selection!"

"I just spoke with a friend at the inner city branch and asked him to help slow down the loan process for the top-performing students at other branches for a few days."

"Even if they learn new martial arts by then, they probably won't make much progress."

Luo Yuansheng stood with his fists clenched, his brows furrowed, his tone somewhat unfriendly and cold.

"Master, I don't need you to do this. What good will it do to make them learn? I'll beat them all up and send them to the hospital one by one!"

"Besides, if other people's loan process is slow, can't they just borrow from someone else?"

"That's unnecessary!"

"I'm just being safe! Maybe some people don't have that connection!"

Lu Yang gritted his teeth: "Whichever branch's student wins first place in this selection, in addition to receiving resources, the branch's leader will also be able to go to the inner city."

"I've been lingering in this branch for too long; it's time to go check out the inner city."

Luo Yuansheng said no more, while Lü Yang handed over the documents in his hand.

"Take a look at this person's information. His name is Lu Jin, a genius from the Baijiang District branch. He's even more talented than you. He went from a beginner to the fourth level of the Flesh Refining Realm in less than a month."

The next second, Luo Yuansheng crumpled the documents into a ball and sent them flying in a parabola into the trash can.

A detached voice came from his mouth.

"So what?"

"Still not worth mentioning."

"Having talent doesn't mean he can defeat me; I'm invincible among those of the same level!"

Bang it!

He punched the bronze statue in front of him, sending it flying dozens of meters away before it crashed heavily to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, cracking sounds rang out continuously, and cracks were visible to the naked eye covering the bronze statue!
