Martial Arts Overlord!

At this very moment, inside the training room of the Tianlong Martial Arts Academy in the inner city, Chen Wei hung up the phone, stuffed it into his pocket, straightened his chest, looked around, and said with absolute certainty, "My brother Lu Jin has accepted the challenge! He said he'll be here right away!"

The training ground fell silent for a moment, then erupted into chaos.

He Yulong glanced at Zhao Wen and said, "Wen, go and pick up your junior brother."

"understood."

Today, after Zhao Wen escorted Lu Jin to the Martial Arts Association, Lu Jin kicked him back to the martial arts gym.

After all, he could train at the Martial Arts Association for an entire afternoon, and cult members would absolutely not dare to come into the Martial Arts Association.

The main reason is that Lu Jin felt it wasn't a big deal, and he often left the association without notifying Zhao Wen these past few days.

The safety factor of the inner city was several times higher than that of the outer city, so Zhao Wen quickly retreated, and a heated discussion broke out in the training room.

"Senior Brother Lu really dares to come?" Someone gasped. "Does he even know that Brother Hai has already reached the extreme? Didn't Chen Wei tell him?"

"It's no use telling them; the word has already been spoken, so they have no choice but to come."

"You can't say that. Lu Jin isn't stupid. Since he dared to come, either he thinks he can cross the boundary and defeat the Extreme Realm, or..."

Yan Wenzhi clutched his still aching arm, his eyes flickering as he slowly spoke, "He has reached the pinnacle."

Upon hearing this, several students around him shook their heads simultaneously, and Peng Yu even stated that it was impossible.

"I think you're overthinking it, Brother Wenzhi. Senior Brother Lu has only been meditating for a few days? Lin Ruohai meditated fifteen times and it took him nine months to break through. If Senior Brother Lu could jump from the fourth stage of Bone Forging to the extreme stage in just a few days, what would be the point of our training?"

Even geniuses need to be reasonable.

"Do you think Brother Lu Jin will reason with you?"

Upon hearing Yan Wenzhi's words, Peng Yu was immediately speechless.

That's true!

Lu Jin truly defies conventional wisdom.

At this moment, Lin Ruohai stood in the center of the field, listening to the surrounding discussions, a faint smile on his lips.

He didn't care whether Lu Jin came or not.

Now that you're here, prove with your fists who's the second best student at the martial arts school right now. Lu Jin has talent, but he's not good enough yet.

It would be even better if he didn't come; he could just take the guaranteed spot and directly enter the top 128 of the Pingshui City Martial Arts Competition, which would bring him hundreds of thousands of yuan in prize money.

For them, this amount of money wasn't huge, but it wasn't insignificant either, not to mention the other rewards.

For example, as the round of 128 began, the number of spectators also increased.

Perhaps Lin Ruohai will attract countless fans once he takes the stage, and then he won't have to worry about money anymore.

Even casually picking up a guy is a way to make money!

Therefore, he was determined to secure a spot in the top 128, and not only that, he also wanted to challenge for the championship.

"Since Lu Jin wants to compete for this spot, then let's have a fight."

After a moment, Lin Ruohai stretched his neck, his joints cracking, and spoke confidently.

"No matter what methods he uses, I am invincible among those of the same level!"

"Yeah?"

Suddenly, a calm voice came from outside the crowd.

The volume wasn't loud, but every word was clearly audible to everyone present.

Everyone turned their heads in unison.

Lu Jin walked in from the entrance of the training ground, his pace neither fast nor slow, just like always.

He was still wearing the same training clothes he wore during the day, with a slight wrinkle at the hem. Zhao Wen followed behind him, his expression complicated.

He Yulong and Zhao Wen exchanged a glance.

They both saw the same thing in each other's eyes.

Compared to the previous few days, Lu Jin's aura was different; a few glances at him would make one's heart tremble.

Suddenly, He Yulong's pupils contracted slightly.

Zhao Wen shrugged. Neither of them spoke, but the same thought was running through their minds—

That's probably highly unlikely.

Upon hearing Lu Jin's voice, Lin Ruohai turned around to face Lu Jin, still wearing a confident smile.

He did not back down, nor was he nervous at all.

On the contrary, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time and had long wanted to fight Lu Jin, but he had never been able to find an opportunity.

"You've finally arrived. Everyone says you're a genius, but I don't know how you, at this stage, can defeat me, who has already reached the pinnacle."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ruohai suddenly shouted.

Click!

In an instant, Lin Ruohai's upper training clothes shattered into countless fragments under the impact of the energy, revealing his physique honed through years of rigorous training.

The muscles bulged like mountains, with distinct lines, each one looking as if it had been repeatedly forged with an iron hammer.

Golden dragon scales emerged from beneath his skin, densely covering his entire body, gleaming with a cold light under the training ground lights.

A phantom image of a dragon and an elephant appeared behind him, raising its head and roaring, the deafening roar echoing throughout the training ground.

At this moment, even the specially made ground beneath his feet creaked under the weight, and fine cracks spread outwards from him.

hiss!

Witnessing this, the surrounding trainees all gasped in shock.

Lin Ruohai's aura was more than twice as strong as when he fought Yan Wenzhi earlier.

He didn't use his true skills at all during that sparring match just now.

"Is this the full power of the Extreme Realm? I feel it's several times stronger than the fourth level of Bone Forging!" Someone's voice was trembling.

"The ultimate realm is about using the fifth tempering to push the skin, flesh, muscles and bones to another level. It's a completely different concept from the fourth realm of bone forging."

A student at the fourth level of Bone Forging looked solemn. "Senior Brother Lu really wants to fight? I feel that unless he also breaks through to the extreme realm, he has no chance of winning."

Hu Jin, who had been arguing with Lin Ruohai earlier, shrank back and muttered, "I think today it's not a question of whether Brother Hai can withstand a punch from Senior Brother Lu, but whether Senior Brother Lu can withstand a punch from Brother Hai."

Lin Ruohai stood in the center of the arena, his entire body enveloped in the phantom of a dragon and elephant, his copper bell-like pupils staring straight at Lu Jin.

Lu Jin's fame has soared during this period!

Third-class merit, city-wide commendation, member of the martial arts association, and a plaque personally presented by Mayor Han!

To be honest, it's something to be envied, but also something to be jealous of.

Although Lu Jin is a genius.

Isn't Lin Ruohai a genius?

He was praised for his exceptional talent from a young age, and he has never been defeated by his peers since he started practicing martial arts.

Many people believe that Lu Jin's current honors and treatment are not due to talent, but rather luck.

If some of them were to encounter cult members, they could also become heroes.

After all, in terms of strength, there are some in Pingshui City who are stronger than Lu Jin at this stage.

Lin Ruohai is one of them!

Today he's going to prove to everyone that Lu Jin isn't the only genius!

"Come on, Brother Lu Jin."

Lin Ruohai looked directly into Lu Jin's eyes, his voice filled with long-suppressed fighting spirit.

"I've heard that since you started practicing martial arts, you haven't encountered a fellow martial artist of the same level who can truly satisfy you!"

"Then today's fight with me should be enough to satisfy you."

Lu Jin looked at him, a slight smile playing on his lips, and spoke in a light, airy voice.

You're overthinking it.

"Someone like you... even ten more wouldn't be enough."

boom!

The moment the words left his mouth, Lu Jin moved.

He vanished from his spot the instant he activated the Swift Shadow Step to its limit, a white sonic boom cloud exploded in the air, and a violent shockwave swept outwards. The nearest students were blown so hard that their hair flew backwards and they couldn't even open their eyes.

"Holy crap!" someone exclaimed!

In an instant, Lin Ruohai's pupils contracted sharply.

What did he see?

He didn't see anything, but felt a terrifying aura rushing towards him, so fast that he didn't even have time to get into a blocking stance.

"What kind of speed is that?!"

"This is not scientifically sound!"

"You couldn't possibly have that kind of ability!"

As Lin Ruohai's tone was filled with shock, Lu Jin's figure appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye. His right fist was covered with dense golden light, and his flesh and bones, which had broken through the limits five times, had been terrifyingly enhanced again after breaking into the extreme realm!

"Boom!"

Lu Jin punched Lin Ruohai in the chest!

The moment the fist touched the muscle, a lifelike golden dragon roared out from the fist, piercing through Lin Ruohai's back and exploding into a dazzling golden light in mid-air in the training field.

The dragon's roar made everyone's eardrums buzz, frantically tugging at their auditory nerves!

"puff!!"

At this moment, Lin Ruohai's eyes widened in shock and disbelief!

Click!

He heard a cracking sound from his sternum, and his body, under the force of Lu Jin's punch, was like a leaf being swept up by a whirlwind, completely out of control.

His proud, extreme physique was as fragile as paper in front of Lu Jin's fist.

Under the intense pain, only one thought flashed through Lin Ruohai's mind!

"This is impossible! How could he have reached the extreme level in such a short time?!"

But he didn't have time to think. The next second, his body was sent flying hundreds of meters away, crashing heavily into the wall of the training field with lightning speed!

boom! !

The entire wall shook violently, plaster fell off in clumps, and the whole building seemed to be in an earthquake.

Lin Ruohai slid down the wall and collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth, his eyelids rolling back, and he had completely lost consciousness. His injuries weren't very serious; he was mainly overwhelmed by anger and the pain in his flesh, which made him faint.

In an instant, the entire arena fell into dead silence. Thousands of people were crammed into this training ground, and at this moment, even their breathing could be heard clearly.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene before them, gasping for breath!

Some people quickly rubbed their eyes, thinking they were dreaming.

One punch!

Just one punch!

Lu Jin defeated Lin Ruohai, who had broken through to the extreme realm?

He Yulong suddenly stood up from his seat, causing the chair to overturn and make a crisp sound.

He didn't bother to help him up; his eyes were fixed on Lu Jin, who was shaking his hand in the center of the field. His lips moved several times before he finally managed to squeeze out those two words.

"Extreme Realm".

Zhao Wen stood next to him, his face filled with shock, as if someone had stuffed a tea-smoked duck egg into his mouth.

"No, junior brother, are you serious? It's only been a few days!"

At this moment, he recalled that a few days ago in the corridor of the Martial Arts Association, Lu Jin said, "I've figured it out, I'm almost at the pinnacle."

At the time, he thought it was a joke.

Now he knows.

Lu Jin never jokes!

In the dead silence, Lu Jin raised his head, glanced at Lin Ruohai who was slumped against the wall, and then calmly clapped his hands.

"Sorry, I already said, even if there were ten more like you, it wouldn't work."

"Because I've also reached the extreme."

As soon as Lu Jin finished speaking, the silence in the training room was broken, and all eyes were focused on him as he slowly opened his mouth.

"I want the guaranteed admission spot. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

...
