Martial Arts Overlord!

With a flash of white light, the retinal text in Lu Jin's eyes underwent a noticeable change.

[Dragon Fist: Beginner (5%→25%)]

hiss!

Lu Jin was pleasantly surprised.

He pushed himself to his physical limit today, but only increased his proficiency by 5%.

However, even a regular-level Breakthrough Dream Essence increased by 20% in just a short moment.

It was equivalent to several days of his ascetic practice.

The desire to possess more of these items intensified in Lu Jin's eyes.

He even wanted to enter that Ruins of Return.

Although it is extremely dangerous, the opportunities are also incredibly abundant.

The origin of attributes, the dream essence of breaking through realms... perhaps there will be other even better things.

"What a pity, it wasn't fully charged. Mengyun, you're not good enough. I told you to fully charge it."

Lu Jin grinned, feeling much better, and the sense of security that had been taken away by the Eternal Night Ruins returned to him.

After discovering the existence of such a mysterious light cluster in the Eternal Night Ruins, Lu Jin's chances of survival increased even further.

This made Lu Jin fall into deep thought.

"The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish."

"Instead of waiting to be killed, we should take the initiative."

"I need more of these mysterious orbs of light!"

With this thought in mind, Lu Jin immediately closed his eyes, contemplating entering the Eternal Night Ruins once more.

Unexpectedly, he tossed and turned in bed without penetrating her, which further confirmed Lu Jin's earlier judgment.

Entering the Eternal Night Ruins is uncontrollable and unpredictable.

This means that when he might face death threats is also beyond his control.

"This feeling of not being in control of your own life is infuriating."

Lu Jin clenched his fist: "Power! I need more power!"

"Unrivaled power!"

"The beast that sleeps within me is about to awaken!"

Seeing that he could no longer enter Guixu, Lu Jin immediately turned on his phone and found that he had received a reply to his resume for the bar's night shift security guard position. They chatted for a few minutes, and it just so happened that they were about to start their shift.

Despite his exhaustion, Lu Jin took a taxi to "Qingmeng Bar".

It occupies a large area of ​​several thousand square meters, with dim lighting and various loud music playing throughout.

Countless young men and women were playing drinking games, rolling dice, getting drunk, kissing, hugging, and dancing, their hormones surging.

A moment later, Lu Jin met Wang Zheng, the manager of the place, a man in his thirties.

There weren't too many requirements. After talking with Lu Jin for a while and seeing his 185cm height, they immediately put him to work.

"Alright, Xiao Lu, this is your colleague Xu Cheng. From now on, you must come here before 10 p.m. every night and leave at 4 a.m."

"Xiao Xu will teach you the specifics of the job."

Xu Cheng, with a buzz cut, wearing a black suit and tie, and a somewhat dark complexion, said, "Brother Lu Jin, let's cooperate more in the future."

"Of course," Lu Jin nodded with a smile. "Do we have to dress like this to work here?"

"That's right."

Xu Cheng straightened his tie: "Our job is called security, but you could also say it's the face of the bar. The two of us need to stand at the bar entrance and make sure that people coming in don't bring in dangerous items."

"Another task is to maintain security in the bar."

"So, besides having a good physique, you also need to be handsome to do our job."

At this point, Xu Cheng touched his buzz cut, a hint of pride in his voice. Judging from his physique, he seemed to be a trained martial artist.

"So, Brother Lu Jin, you should be careful with your looks. Your ex might have been taken in by some rich woman here and is now being kept as a mistress."

"Then he was caught in the act of adultery, and may have already been drowned in the river."

Xu Cheng shrugged, looking slightly helpless. "This kind of thing is nothing new. There was a rich woman here who used her husband's money to pay for the previous 28 years of birthday gifts for her gigolo."

"It was worth millions, and then... it was discovered, and he never turned 29."

"My ex is dead?"

Seeing Lu Jin's confusion, Xu Cheng shook his head: "Who knows? But he's been missing for several days now. Darkness lurks beneath this prosperous world, and who knows how many corpses lie beneath the Xiangjiang River."

Lu Jin frowned; this world was more dangerous than he had imagined.

The Xiangjiang River is a mother river that runs through their Central and Southern Province. It is incredibly wide and also very fierce.

"Brother Lu Jin, be careful on your way back later. There have been quite a few missing people lately."

"Have many people gone missing recently?"

"What's a disappearance? In the short time we've been talking, countless people have died all over the world."

Lu Jin checked the information on his phone and found it to be exactly as Xu Cheng had said.

In just a few months, nearly a hundred people went missing in Pingshui City, which would have caused a huge uproar in Lu Jin's previous life.

However, it didn't cause much of a stir in this world.

"Compared to the superficial dangers of the Eternal Night Ruins, the dangers hidden beneath the bustling city are even more chilling."

"But it doesn't seem to concern me."

Lu Jin remained calm; he had no idea when he would die.

Once someone dares to take his life, it doesn't matter who they are or what their background is.

Lu Jin would definitely take the other person's life first.

The short six hours passed quickly, and Lu Jin discovered that this security guard didn't just rely on a fixed salary.

In just a few hours, he received several hundred yuan in tips, and some people even invited him to have a late-night snack.

But Lu Jin refused.

He naturally likes women, but he was tired of them in his past life, and besides, he frequented bars and nightclubs...

Although he is now facing a death threat, he is not without hope.

Giving up on oneself is not advisable.

Most importantly, since martial arts exist in this life, women will only affect the speed of his punches, unless he is a master martial artist.

After getting off work, Lu Jin walked through the crowd and quickly fell asleep, exhausted.

...

The next day, at noon, the alarm clock rang loudly, and Lu Jin woke up from his dream.

He covered his head, grimacing.

Although he didn't enter the Eternal Night Ruins, he had a nightmare in which endless monsters attacked him.

"Damn it!"

"Sooner or later, I will kill you all."

After washing up and replenishing his energy, Lu Jin arrived at the Tianlong Martial Arts Hall, where he was greeted by countless young people sweating profusely.

For sparring practice, for practicing shadowboxing...

Lu Jin found a corner, put down his water glass, and, following the instructions of Coach Xu Jiang from yesterday, assumed the stance of the Dragon Fist fighting style.

He squeezed his legs together, adopting the stance of the Heavenly Dragon Stance, and continuously swung his hands. He felt the slightly rolling blood and qi within his body. Guided by the Heavenly Dragon Stance posture, the blood and qi gradually began to temper the skin all over his body.

Compared to yesterday, his posture was much smoother and no longer crooked.

"breathe!"

Lu Jin adjusted his breathing, letting the sweat soak through his training clothes, and gritted his teeth to persevere.

The physical pain was nothing compared to the feeling of being threatened with death.

Looking at the increasing proficiency in front of his retina, Lu Jin was somewhat pleased.

He believed that as long as he mastered the Dragon Fist technique, he would be able to deal with the monsters he had seen in the Eternal Night Ruins.

At this moment, Coach Xu Jiang was inspecting all the trainees in the training room, but there was some disappointment in his eyes.

After all, their martial arts school has many instructors, so of course they hope to cultivate more promising talents.

If someone makes it into the elite class, their coach will also receive a reward.

But getting into the elite class is not that easy.

Xu Jiang has trained tens of thousands of students so far, and only a few elite students have been trained.

"Zhou Cang is not bad. We can give him more guidance so he can compete with others for a spot in the elite class."

Xu Jiang was looking at a burly man in a black training uniform, arms crossed, a smug look on his face, clearly enjoying the compliments around him.

"Brother Cang, if you go to the elite class in the future, don't forget about us!"

"Brother Cang, could you share your secrets? How did you cultivate so fast? You're almost at the Chi Skin Realm."

"Perhaps this is talent." Zhou Cang's lips curled up slightly. "No problem, all of you come over later, and I'll explain a few things to you all at once."

"Anyone interested is welcome to come over," Zhou Cang said in a loud voice.

In an instant, many people rushed towards Zhou Cang, but Lu Jin remained unmoved. Beside him, a man of similar age sneered.

"Tch. Pretend."

His eyes also fell on Lu Jin, and the next second, he moved closer, smiling as he extended his hand.

"My name is Chen Wei, let's get acquainted."

"Hello, Lu Jin." Lu Jin gave him a brief handshake, and Chen Wei quietly said, "Aren't you going to listen to Zhou Cang's instruction? He's one of the best trainees on our level."

"You're different?" Lu Jin slowly asked. "Could it be that you've also trained quite well?"

"No, not at all." Chen Wei shook his head: "Not just here, but on other floors as well, most people are just joining in the fun. Reaching the first level is considered exceptional."

"I just don't like him."

"And you?" Chen Wei asked curiously.

Lu Jin didn't even raise his head, and slowly said, "Article Two of the Lu Family Annals."

"I dislike two things the most: one is when others show off in front of me, and the other is when I'm not allowed to show off."

"in addition…"

"I don't need his guidance. Give me time, and I will surpass him."

Lu Jin suddenly threw a punch, and a slight breeze was generated in the air, along with a faint hollow sound.

This appearance instantly attracted the full attention of Xu Jiang, who happened to be looking over.

Xu Jiang looked somewhat surprised.

"This... isn't that the person who just started learning yesterday... how could this be?"

He remembered that when he was teaching Lu Jin yesterday, Lu Jin's talent was neither good nor bad, but he was too old and could not learn anything.

But now... the situation surprised Xu Jiang.

"Could it be that he suddenly had a breakthrough?"

...
