Martial Arts Overlord!

Jiang Wanli's words caught in his throat, and he stood there stunned for several seconds.

Looking at Lu Jin's calm, young face, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

orphan.

No family.

That means there are no weaknesses that can be exploited.

Even if they wanted revenge, they could only target Lu Jin directly.

A young man who could single-handedly kill a ruthless bandit at the Yi Jin Jing level in an elevator, and who was at the Muscle Refining level, and who spent almost all his time at the martial arts school.

Trying to take action against him would come at a huge cost; there are cameras everywhere on the streets.

They may have gone to great lengths to kill Lu Jin, but the losses were still considerable.

However, Lu Jin also raised an eyebrow, his displeasure becoming even more apparent.

"Eternal Night Returns to Ruins, Fist Slave."

"It doesn't matter anymore, I'm not afraid of having a lot of lice."

Lu Jin clenched his fist.

Get stronger!

No problem is a problem!

After a while, Jiang Wanli gave Lu Jin a thumbs up.

"Invincible." The director of the Pingshui City Public Security Bureau uttered these two words with a tone of heartfelt admiration.

"You're truly invincible, kid."

"But you still need to be careful, you need to be careful yourself."

Jiang Wanli hesitated, but Lu Jin guessed what he was thinking.

He probably wanted to tell Lu Jin about the existence of the Fist Slaves, but he couldn't because of the confidentiality agreement, so he could only remind Lu Jin to be careful.

Lu Jin didn't reply, but simply nodded slightly.

Jiang Wanli didn't say anything more, and turned around to direct the technicians to start dealing with the scene.

Jin Hu's body was put into a body bag and carried away. The elevator car was cordoned off, and technicians took photos, collected evidence, and collected blood samples inside.

Just as Jin Hu's body was being carried out of the martial arts school, the official announcement from the Pingshui City Public Security Bureau was already being released.

The report was concise and powerful.

This evening, Lu Jin, a student of the Tianlong Martial Arts School Baijiang Branch in our city, discovered and killed wanted criminal Jin Hu (male, 47 years old) in the elevator of the martial arts school.

It has been verified that Jin Hu used a disguise technique to impersonate a water deliveryman and had been lurking in the martial arts school for a long time with the intention of kidnapping the students.

After being attacked, Lu Jin decisively retaliated and executed Jin Hu on the spot.

According to the Special Regulations on Public Security Administration...

This is a special commendation!

The announcement caused an uproar throughout Pingshui City.

This message is being shared wildly on major social media platforms, local forums, and martial arts group chats.

[Holy crap? A student from Tianlong Martial Arts Academy killed Jin Hu? What about all my bounty hunting activities lately?]

[Finally, we've dealt with this dangerous individual. Otherwise, I'd be too scared to go out.]

Who is this Lu Jin? Could he single-handedly kill someone at the Yi Jin Realm?

[I know, I know! It's Lu Jin from Tianlong Martial Arts School in Baijiang District! He just got first place in the elite assessment a few days ago! And he's only at the Body Refining Realm. I'm a student at that martial arts school!]

【What kind of international joke is this? A Flesh Refining Realm cultivator single-handedly defeating a Tendon Transformation Realm cultivator? Is this even human?】

[You guys don't even know about the fact that he's not human? Brother Lu Jin has only been practicing martial arts for a month.]

hiss!

When netizens learned that Lu Jin had been practicing martial arts for less than a month, they were in an uproar. Some people were so proactive that they immediately wanted to come to the branch school where Lu Jin was to learn boxing.

At the same time, the police also released the processed video, since they couldn't hide Lu Jin's identity, so they increased the publicity.

[The video has leaked! It's from the elevator security camera! You guys need to check it out!]

Although the surveillance footage was intermittent due to the violent shaking, the countless golden fist shadows and splattered blood were so clear that they sent chills down one's spine.

At the end of the video, Jin Hu's head pierced through the top of the elevator car, leaving him hanging in mid-air like a specimen nailed to the wall.

The comment section below the video completely erupted.

I counted; he threw at least a hundred punches in ten seconds.

[What kind of martial art is this? I've practiced martial arts for so many years, how come I've never seen it before?]

[This is ridiculous! I have a feeling that Tianlong Martial Arts School is about to produce another martial arts champion for Pingshui City, right?]

My mom asked me why I was kneeling while looking at my phone.

...

Within just a few hours, his name became the talk of the town in Pingshui City. His name not only reached the ears of many ordinary people, but also the students of Tianlong Martial Arts School in various regions. People from other martial arts schools also knew the name Lu Jin.

Inside the Tianlong Martial Arts Academy branch in Tianzhen District, the academy's master, Lü Yang, frowned and quietly spoke to Luo Yuansheng, who was hailed as the strongest person in this inner city selection.

"Yuansheng, have you seen the report and the video?"

"I've seen it."

Luo Yuansheng didn't even look up, focusing solely on practicing his boxing.

"Give me your assessment? Are you confident you can beat him?"

Upon hearing Lü Yang's words, Luo Yuansheng lowered his head and said, "If it were me dealing with this wanted criminal, I would have killed him with one punch."

"There's absolutely no need to throw so many punches."

"He's lucky, why didn't I run into him?"

Hearing Luo Yuansheng's incredibly confident words, Lü Yang nodded and smiled again.

No matter how strong Lu Jin is, what he needs is for Luo Yuansheng to win first place in the selection, so that he, as the master of the hall, can also settle in the inner city.

Besides them, other places were also buzzing with discussion, and Lu Jin's name was constantly being mentioned.

There were surprised reactions, there were jealous reactions... you name it.

At this very moment, only a few hours had passed since Lu Jin killed Jin Hu, and Lu Jin was completely unaware of these discussions at the Tianlong Martial Arts Hall.

He leaned against the wall in the corridor, holding his phone, the screen displaying a flurry of messages scrolling through the martial arts school's group chat and online forums.

His lips curled up slightly, then he quickly regained his composure.

Jin Hu is dead.

The method of Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Technique) may be obtained ahead of schedule.

Yan Wenzhi also agreed to help Chen Wei with the application.

Everything is going in a good direction.

"I really have to thank Jin Hu. I'm almost embarrassed to have hit him so many times."

Jin Hu solved his immediate problem and gave him another million, which was just enough for him to pay off his debts.

Unexpectedly, the owner of the museum, Jiang Zheng, only asked for half, saying that Lu Jin didn't need to pay back the remaining 40.

The only requirement is that Lu Jin can get first place in the inner city selection.

"Master, how could I possibly accept this?"

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

Lu Jin grinned, and Jiang Zheng also shook his head with a smile. He considered his 40 yuan as an investment in Lu Jin. Besides, as long as Lu Jin could go to the inner city, he could earn back all that money.

A single inner-city household registration costs more than 40.

"Well done. I never expected your strength to have reached such a level. You killed a Muscle Temperament Transformation Stage 1 cultivator with the strength of a Muscle Refining Stage 4 cultivator."

"In this inner city selection, as long as you keep an eye on Luo Yuansheng, first place will definitely be yours."

"Why should I pay attention to him?" Lu Jin asked frankly, "He's not worthy of my attention."

"It's just that I temporarily possess strength comparable to the second level of the Yi Jin Jing."

"Completely insignificant."

Upon hearing Lu Jin's words, Jiang Zheng opened his mouth, somewhat shocked, but said nothing.

He believed that since Lu Jin dared to say that, he must be confident.

I'm getting more and more excited for the upcoming inner city selection!

Watching Jiang Zheng's retreating figure, Lu Jin took a deep breath. Although killing Jin Hu had indeed solved many of his problems, Lu Jin knew that this was just the beginning.

These are the real problems.

What about those "traitors" who are repeatedly mentioned in the information about Eternal Night Ruins?

His gaze passed through the corridor window, looking out at the dark night sky.

The city lights twinkled in the distance, appearing prosperous and peaceful. But Lu Jin knew that this peace was just a thin shell, beneath which lay bottomless darkness.

He had to become strong enough to survive before the darkness completely swallowed everything.

"Brother Lu Jin!"

Chen Wei's voice came from behind him, pulling him back from his thoughts.

Lu Jin turned his head and saw Chen Wei running towards him, his expression a mixture of excitement and complexity.

"Brother Lu Jin, you're amazing! A Golden Tiger! A Yi Jin Realm cultivator! You just...Ora Ora Ora!"

Chen Wei gestured wildly, exclaiming, "In my heart, you're practically a god!"

"Right now, all the local online forums in our city are talking about you. I heard that other martial arts schools have your information too!"

"Brother Lu Jin, you're famous throughout the city now, except for the inner city, of course."

"The inner city may not know."

"But I believe that sooner or later, the people in the inner city will also know your name, Brother Lu Jin!"

"Just what I thought."

Lu Jin nodded with a smile, having heard that the inner city was much larger than their other eight districts, and that was the truly prosperous area of ​​their Pingshui City.

Furthermore, there are countless martial arts geniuses, and Lu Jin really wants to see them.

"Alright, Brother Lu Jin, it's getting late, I'm going back."

Just as Chen Wei was about to leave, Yan Wenzhi suddenly appeared out of nowhere, looking travel-worn. He quickly called out to Chen Wei and then excitedly came to Lu Jin's side.

"Brother Lu Jin, it's resolved!"

"Master He has agreed to all your requests, but on the condition that you yourself must obtain the qualification to enter the inner city during the selection process."

"This is also a way to show everyone your strength and talent, so that others won't be dissatisfied."

"Brother Chen Wei, if I were you, I'd have to kowtow to your brother Lu Jin."

For a moment, Chen Wei scratched his head in confusion. When he heard that he might be able to enter the inner city without taking the test, he was so excited that he burst into tears.

Although he won't receive special treatment after entering, and he'll need to reach a certain level to cultivate subsequent techniques, it's essentially just obtaining an inner city residency and changing the location of his martial arts practice.

But that's enough!

"Brother Lu Jin!"

"You've helped your brother out today!"

"If you get a chance, brother, I'll give you a hand!"

Chen Wei patted his chest, prompting Lu Jin to kick him, and glared at him, saying, "Get lost! Focus more on your cultivation."

After Chen Wei left, Lu Jin stared intently at Yan Wenzhi, and Yan Wenzhi understood, so he found a quiet place and spoke in a deep voice.

"Brother Lu Jin, as instructed by Master He, I will now teach you the Yi Jin Jing technique."

"It is called True Dragon Tendon Changing Stance, which is considered an independent stance training method of the Western Sect. It is divided into Python Tendon, Flood Dragon Tendon, Chi Dragon Tendon, and True Dragon Heavenly Tendon, corresponding to the four realms of Tendon Changing."

"With each breakthrough, the flexibility and hardness of one's meridians will increase significantly, while also continuing to strengthen the martial artist's physique!"

"It can be said that reaching the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Realm) is equivalent to officially becoming a martial artist!"

"It took your brother Wen more than a week to get the hang of it. You'd better practice hard from now on."

Immediately afterwards, Yan Wenzhi taught Lu Jin the stance training method of Yi Jin Zi.

At first, he was all smiles, until two hours later, the entire martial arts hall became completely silent, with only the cracking sounds of Lu Jin's bones emanating from it.

Seeing Lu Jin's aura rise again, Yan Wenzhi punched the more than 2,000-kilogram bronze statue flying.

"Brother Wen, what's wrong?"

"I'm so annoyed!"

Compared to you, I've become a complete fool who can't cultivate!

"If you can still act like a fool compared to me, then you definitely have some talent."

...

Lu Jin made a joke, his eyes flashing, and the Extreme Modifier was displayed.

【True Dragon Yi Jin Zhuang (Beginner Level 48%)】

Attack: 147.6 → 163.2

Speed: 153.8 → 164.1

[Defense: 124.3→142.6]

[Stamina: 132.1→143.4]

[Spirit: 66.3→67.1]

[Willpower: 66.8 → 68.2]

Breaking through to the Python Tendon Realm in just a few hours was indeed a severe blow to Yan Wenzhi.

"Another day of huge improvement!"

Lu Jin clenched his fist, feeling the power within his body, his eyes becoming incredibly fierce.

"As long as I keep getting stronger!"

"I'd like to see…"

"Who can kill me! Who dares to kill me!"

...
