Martial Arts Overlord!

As soon as Lu Jin finished speaking, He Yulong and Police Chief Jiang Wanli arrived.

"Beep! Beep!"

The police car lights illuminated the entire unfinished building area as if it were daytime.

He Yulong was a little nervous, especially when he heard Zhao Wen's phone call saying that he had sensed a fluctuation of spiritual power.

This terrified He Yulong.

The fluctuation of spiritual power almost certainly indicates the appearance of the Holy God Realm.

He never imagined that the capture of a fugitive gang leader would involve cult members.

He should have known better than to let Lu Jin come. After learning about Lu Jin's talent, He Yulong regarded Lu Jin as his precious darling.

Given some time, it's a certainty that He Yulong will return to the provincial capital to report on his work.

It can be said that Lu Jin was He Yulong's only hope for continuing to rise, even more so than Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen's talent is indeed good enough to go to the provincial capital to study martial arts, but what use would that be?

He Yulong also has a true disciple who studies at a martial arts school in the provincial capital. Although he is not at the bottom, he is not the best either.

There was absolutely no way to help He Yulong return to the provincial capital's martial arts school, after all, He Yulong didn't want to waste his life in this small Pingshui City!

He and Jiang Wanli strode across the cordon, their eyes first falling on Lu Jin. Seeing that Lu Jin wasn't sweating at all and was chatting and laughing with Zhao Wen, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

The next second, their gazes focused on Song Xiaolong's corpse, then fell on the figure lying in a pool of blood on the other side, with fragments of a mecha still attached to his body.

He Yulong's pupils dilated in shock!

Mecha?

Such a precious item was now shattered into a pile of metal fragments. When He Yulong heard Zhao Wen explain that Lu Jin had broken it with his bare hands, he was even more shocked!

"What?!"

He looked up at Lu Jin, who was wiping his hands, his lips moved, and after a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out the words: "Little Lu, what level have you reached in terms of strength?"

"I've reached the fourth level of Bone Forging, Master. I was planning to tell you tomorrow so you could teach me how to enter the ultimate level."

Lu Jin answered with a smile.

If he weren't the only one who possessed the Fifth Realm of Bone Forging, he would have honestly answered that it was the Fifth Realm of Bone Forging.

However, the fourth level of Bone Forging is enough to prove his talent.

His achievements are purely the result of his talent and hard work; why would he hide them?

He, Lu Jin, wanted to tell everyone that he, Lu Jin, was a genius!

"This...this..."

At that moment, He Yulong froze on the spot, like a petrified sculpture.

Jiang Wanli stood beside him, his expression no better. His lips twitched several times before finally turning into a bitter smile and shaking his head.

Geniuses are truly utterly unreasonable!

They remembered clearly that Lu Jin had only joined the inner city martial arts school a few days ago.

From a student in the Flesh Training Realm at an outer city branch to the fourth level of Bone Forging Realm, a journey that would take other martial artists several years or even more than a decade, he completed in just a few days.

Is this even a person walking?

This is like riding a rocket!

"My disciple Lu Jin possesses the potential to become a Martial Saint!"

He Yulong's voice boomed in the night wind, filled with barely suppressed excitement and trembling.

This wasn't the first time he'd said this, and the reason he said it again was because he felt Lu Jin's talent was terrifying.

"Xiao Lu, you're simply a prodigy." He Yulong gave a thumbs up. "Even your senior brother can't compare to you."

Zhao Wen quickly shrugged: "Don't compare me to a monster. I'm still a human being, he isn't."

"Senior brother, it sounds like you're scolding me." Lu Jin smiled. "But I quite like hearing it."

...

Zhao Wen didn't want to talk to Lu Jin anymore.

He finally understood why some people had to see a psychologist after being defeated by Lu Jin.

That's truly terrifying!

At this moment, several technicians are squatting next to the evil spirit, conducting a preliminary examination.

A forensic doctor wearing a mask opened the demon's eyelids and examined the shattered mecha fragments on his body. While taking notes, he reported in a low voice: "Director Jiang, this person has more than a hundred broken bones throughout his body. The impact force that the mecha he was wearing was about fifteen tons or more, and the armor layer was shattered from the inside."

The preliminary cause of death is determined to be multiple internal organ ruptures complicated by excessive blood loss. He is still alive, which suggests he deliberately held back. From the start of his fight with Captain Lu to losing consciousness, the time was less than thirty seconds, based on the residual energy fluctuations at the scene.

He then added, "Based on the DNA characteristics in the database, this person's identity has been confirmed. His real name is Sun Qiang, 47 years old, a fourth-level Bone Forging Realm martial artist. Records show that he is suspected of multiple kidnapping, murder, and illegal detention cases, and is a provincial-level wanted criminal with a reward of 3.2 million yuan. He has been pursued for many years but has not yet been captured."

hiss!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanli glanced at Lu Jin again, wondering what kind of monster Lu Jin was.

No wonder Han Chong, the mayor, wanted to deepen his relationship with Lu Jin.

If you don't befriend such a martial arts genius soon, you'll never have another chance.

Because if you look back after a while, those people will have already flown to the sky, and you won't even be able to see their backs anymore.

It was a complete and utter crushing defeat!

A core member of the cult at the fourth level of Bone Forging, wearing a mecha, couldn't even last thirty seconds against Lu Jin.

All eyes turned back to the young man wiping his hands, and everyone sighed inwardly.

There are also differences between the four realms of Bone Forging!

Which game's Bone Forging Realm allows for a no-damage speedrun of the mech?

At the same time, Lu Jin tossed the towel to the police officer next to him, walked up to He Yulong, and put on a bright smile!

"Master, shouldn't this count as a contribution to the martial arts school? Could you perhaps apply to the provincial school to let me learn another martial art?"

He Yulong patted his chest and said confidently.

"No problem! Leave it to your master! What you did today, not only will the provincial headquarters reward you, but even if it's reported to the main headquarters, you'll receive every reward you're due!"

Lu Jin's smile grew even brighter.

This is exactly what he wanted.

Others cultivate by slowly accumulating time, but he cultivates by stacking attributes through martial arts.

With each additional martial art he learns, his attributes increase significantly.

Even without breaking through to a higher realm, one's strength will still increase rapidly.

Whether it's the five realms of bone forging or the ultimate realm, it all comes down to numerical values ​​in the end.

As long as the value is high enough, realms don't exist!

The threat from the Holy Church, as well as the sword-wielding giant in the Eternal Night Ruins, kept him on his toes.

Lu Jin didn't know when he would return to that desolate ruin, but he had to do everything in his power to survive.

We absolutely cannot die.

"Unfortunately, besides that sword-wielding giant, there are no fist-slave monsters left in the Eternal Night Ruins of Pingshui City."

"With Gao Zilu's family wiped out, the claim that he died seven days later will be disproven."

"But I still need to become stronger!"

"I want to become stronger!"

Lu Jin snapped out of his daze, nodded to He Yulong and Jiang Wanli, and turned to leave the scene.

The remaining finishing work was handled by professionals. He went to see Chen Wei, chatted for a few minutes, and then hurriedly returned to his rented room in the outer city.

He should have come back much earlier, since the longer he stayed in the inner city, the greater the risk.

Who knows if we'll ever enter the Eternal Night Ruins again? Although staying in the outer city might also lead to our entry, at least we won't have to face that terrifying sword-wielding giant directly.

...

At almost the same time, at the Gao family villa on the other side of the inner city.

Gao Qiqiang was sitting in his usual spot, in the large leather chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with his legs crossed and a glass of red wine in his hand.

Outside the window is the bustling night view of the inner city, and downstairs is a meticulously manicured garden.

He has been sitting here for twenty years. He went from a small businessman supported by the Holy Spirit Church to a powerful entrepreneur in Pingshui City today. Every step he took was meticulous.

"Lu Jin... I'll remember this time, Ah Long. Don't blame me for being heartless, I can only say you know too much."

"Go in peace. Lu Jin will come down to be with you in a while."

Gao Qiqiang muttered to himself, then said to his daughter Gao Zilu, "Zilu, you don't need to have any more contact with Lu Jin from now on."

"Don't we need to win them over?" Gao Zilu raised her fair eyebrows. "It's such a pity that such a genius isn't being used by the Holy Church."

"There are plenty of geniuses in the world. If we can't win them over, then we'll just have to solve the problem."

"I don't think Lu Jin is someone who can be won over. I wonder who tipped him off about our plan this time. He's quick to act."

"Having just learned of our plan, he plotted to kill Little Dragon. With such a mindset and his talent, he will surely become a formidable enemy of our Holy Sect!"

"You don't need to try to win over Lu Jin. Instead, try to win over other geniuses. Isn't the Pingshui City Martial Arts Tournament about to start? Lu Jin will definitely participate. Wouldn't it be better to have someone fake an accident and kill Lu Jin?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Zilu revealed a beautiful smile, though it was somewhat sinister. "I've been working on this for a while now. I've been communicating quite well with Li Zhengfeng, the genius from the Royal Dynasty Martial Arts Academy, in private."

"Excellent! In a little while longer!" Gao Qiqiang's eyes gleamed with madness, his breathing rapid. "This entire city will be under our control!"

"For the Holy Church!"

But just then, his phone suddenly rang.

Gao Qiqiang glanced at the number, answered, and before he could speak, a hurried voice came from the other end: "Run!"

In an instant, Gao Qiqiang's red wine slipped from his hand, smashed on the floor, and splashed out a dark red liquid.

He suddenly stood up and rushed to the window. At that moment, outside the villa gate, the lights of more than a dozen cars turned on at the same time, and fully armed personnel poured in from all directions, their movements in perfect unison, giving no one time to react.

"Zilu!" he called out as he turned around.

The door has been broken open from the outside!

The composure and coldness on Gao Zilu's pretty face shattered, replaced by a panic she had never experienced before.

She instinctively wanted to resist, and faint gray lines appeared on her arms.

But within a breath, his hands were restrained by an even faster figure, and he was pinned to the ground, unable to move!

"Hands on your head! Crouch down!"

Do not underestimate the power of the official forces in the martial arts world.

A mere underground force that has been supported is nothing more than an ant that can be crushed at will in the face of the state apparatus!

Gao Qiqiang looked at the scene before him, his face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he wanted to fight back, but he was punched and sent flying hundreds of meters away!

Bang!

It was hung on a wall in the villa!

Hitting someone is like hanging a painting!

"Colluding with a cult! Their crime deserves death! Order everyone to act swiftly!"

"From top to bottom! Leave no one unchecked!"

"yes!"

...

That evening, countless people in Pingshui City were unaware of what had happened.

Some people were chatting in various group chats because they saw many military vehicles appearing, each carrying real guns and ammunition, and their aura was incredibly terrifying.

Countless people were taken away; some say it was because Song Xiaolong and Gao Qiqiang had fallen from power.

Some people still can't believe it!

Until a notification was pushed to the mobile phone of every resident in Pingshui City!

[Pingshui City Official Announcement—Lu Jin, a member of the Pingshui City Martial Arts Association, honorary captain of the police station, and a true disciple of the Tianlong Martial Arts School, discovered a clue tonight and successfully apprehended a cult member, dismantling a cult group that had been operating for over twenty years! Lu Jin is hereby awarded a third-class merit!]

After countless people saw this announcement, almost no one in the city could sleep anymore, and it instantly caused a huge uproar, with major forums and group chats becoming the subject of heated discussions!

Lu Jin's name is now a household name!

[Holy crap! Lu Jin! It's Lu Jin again! Has he gotten into a fight with a cult?]

【Wait, did Lu Jin infiltrate a cult?】

Why do I never encounter cult members? The reward for reporting one is up to 50 yuan!

Don't tell me, I heard that Lu Jin was the person who reported him.

【real or fake? 】

"Of course, he's an insider, my cousin!"

I've already hung up on my roommate and been beating him for ten minutes, but he still won't admit he's a cult member. What can I do?

[That's an exaggeration! How far has Lu Jin's strength gone? He doesn't practice martial arts anymore, he's just busy fighting cults.]

[Anyway, he's not weak. I feel that Lu Jin is the biggest dark horse in this Pingshui City Martial Arts Tournament!]

It's hard to say, but there are still many geniuses in Pingshui City!

...

In an instant, the names of Lu Jin once again stirred up the nerves of other martial arts schools and large families in Pingshui City.

They naturally know more than ordinary people. The Royal Dynasty Martial Arts School and the Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School are both listed as the four major martial arts schools in Pingshui City.

A young-looking man was frantically punching a heavy sandbag, and with each punch, the sandbag was on the verge of collapsing!

"Zhengfeng, take a good look at Lu Jin's information. I have a feeling that he will be the biggest obstacle to your victory in this martial arts competition."

Yi Tongtang, the owner of the Royal Dynasty Martial Arts School in Pingshui City, frowned and spoke, while Li Zhengfeng put down his fist, stood up, and took a deep breath.

"I know, but if I run into him, I'll teach him a lesson with three punches!"

...

At the same time, in a dark corner, gray fog billowed and a putrid stench permeated the air.

The candlelight cast eerie shadows on the wall.

The cult leader, Chen Feng, stood before his men, whose heads were bowed. His voice was not loud, but every word felt like a knife to the neck of everyone present.

"waste!"

"A bunch of useless trash! You've wasted your rice!? What's the point of raising you? You've even wasted a human-level mech I taught you! More importantly! We've lost an important pawn!"

He took another step, his murderous aura raging, and his energy surging forth!

Everyone present was drenched in cold sweat, and their knees involuntarily buckled.

Pfft!

Some people knelt down on the ground.

"They can't even handle a mere Lu Jin!"

Chen Feng's voice suddenly rose, exploding in the gray fog, "Tell me yourselves, will you be the ones who remain respectable, becoming fertilizer for the saints? Or will I help you maintain your dignity?"

At that moment, the scene fell into dead silence.

Absolute silence!

Then a voice rang out from the front: "Master! Your subordinates deserve to die! We never expected that when the evil spirit went to deal with that good-for-nothing Song Xiaolong, he would be captured alive on the spot! Please give us a chance to atone for our crimes!"

"The demon is carrying a human-grade mech; even an Extreme Realm expert would have a very low chance of capturing him alive. Have you found out why?"

"Is it that Lu Jin?"

"We haven't... found out, but it's definitely related to that damned Lu Jin!"

"A bunch of useless trash!" Chen Feng waved his hand and sneered, "Then I'll give you a chance to redeem yourselves!"

Upon hearing this, everyone raised their heads, their faces filled with determination and madness.

"Master!"

"This time we've gone all out! Although we don't know who captured the evil spirit alive, we speculate it was that brat Lu Jin, and we dare to estimate he's reached the pinnacle!"

But we have over ten people here, plus even stronger saints! No matter how strong Lu Jin is, we can kill him! We can even forcibly convert him into a saint! To avenge this blood feud!

"Okay." Chen Feng nodded. "Let's do it later. Make sure you're fully prepared. I'll have Jian Nu go with you then."

"Even if Lu Jin is strong, with so many of you attacking him, I should have been taken down!"

"If you can't bring Lu Jin back to me this time, then you..."

"Then none of them need to come back!"

...
