Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 2 I, Lu Yuan, do not know martial arts.

"I know about that lecherous Black Star Scar. He learned about Kunlun Mountain in his early years and was taken in by the elders of Kunlun Mountain. He is cunning, ruthless and lustful. Later, he committed a serious mistake and was expelled from the sect."

"Committed a serious mistake? What serious mistake?"

"He was peeping at his teacher's wife taking a bath."

"You know this too?"

"Otherwise what? Is there anything in this martial world that I, Old Sun, don't know?"

Constable Sun was a seasoned veteran in the yamen, an old widower. His martial arts skills were average among the constables, but he was good at it because of his extensive experience. He was very familiar with the strange stories, grudges and affections of the martial arts world.

If government officials encounter any difficult or perplexing matters, they can always find the answer by consulting him.

"His master didn't kill him for peeping at his master's wife while she was bathing?"

"He wanted to kill, but failed."

"Although Black Star Scarface is rotten to the core, he is exceptionally skilled in lightness techniques. Before joining Kunlun, he was known in the martial arts world as 'Treading Snow Without Leaving a Trace.' However, there is one thing you need not worry about."

"Although Black Star Scar is a seventh-grade martial artist, his skills are all in lightness skills, and his hand and foot skills are average."

"If it really comes down to a head-on confrontation, they might not be much stronger than us."

"There are many of us."

……

There are countless amazing skills in the world, which can be roughly divided into six schools.

Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and martial arts.

Confucianism is the art of Confucianism and Taoism, cultivating a righteous spirit, manifesting sainthood through literary talent, and using words to kill.

Buddhist practice emphasizes perseverance and enlightenment. True Buddhist practitioners are ascetics who eat vegetarian food, chant Buddhist scriptures, and comprehend the Buddha-nature. Their every action can bewitch minds and enlighten sentient beings.

Taoist traditions primarily focus on cultivating Qi, and many practitioners are sorcerers who seek to comprehend the ways of heaven and earth to attain longevity.

These three lineages all possess the potential to ascend to heaven, hence they are revered as the top three.

However, the threshold for reaching the top three levels is extremely high, and the tradition has been lost for many years, disappearing from public view.

Currently, the other three schools are widely known in the martial arts world.

Martial arts prowess.

Martial arts cultivate true qi, consume rare and precious herbs to temper the body, making one invulnerable to swords and spears, and impervious to water and fire. The goal is to achieve physical sainthood. Those who achieve great success in cultivation will have their bodies remain incorrupt for thousands of years after death, even if their souls perish.

Martial arts are also the mainstream of the Great Yong Dynasty. Throughout the four seas and eight wastelands, and across the nine provinces and ten lands, many sects have inherited the tradition of martial arts.

The arts of the supernatural are considered heretical and unorthodox, a niche school of thought. They include things like poisons, curses, and corpse curses, which are extremely bizarre and mostly passed down by a few tribes.

Qi Dao, similar to martial arts, is the mainstream system in countries outside the region.

……

There are nine ranks of martial artists, with the ninth rank being the lowest and the first rank being the highest.

The constables of Wangyou County are all ninth-rank martial artists, while the head constable is slightly more skilled and is an eighth-rank officer.

Their combat strength is only so-so.

Their martial arts skills did not originate from any prestigious school; they were just common, low-level techniques found everywhere in the martial arts world.

They often become the backdrop for famous young heroes' cross-border kills.

……

"You guys, stop showing off so much."

"Never underestimate anyone in the world."

"This lecherous thief comes from a prestigious sect. Your mediocre skills are not worth getting involved in this."

"What are the orders from above?"

"Assisting the Six Doors means assisting, not sending you to be cannon fodder."

"Only two taels of silver a month, why are you risking your lives?"

"Have you forgotten the lesson of Chief Constable Mu?"

"Showing off comes at a price."

Lu Yuan tapped the wooden table lightly with two fingers, interrupting the discussion.

The former chief constable, Mu Ma, was a seventh-rank martial artist, as was the peerless swordsman, Yu Shi.

turn out.

The seventh-rank martial arts master, Chief Constable Muma, and the dozen or so ninth-rank constables were all killed.

The peerless swordsman, having only suffered minor injuries, escaped back to Qingcheng Mountain.

……

"Chief Constable, you've misunderstood."

"How could we dare?"

"We were just saying it."

"Besides, don't we have you?"

"With your skills, Chief Constable, let alone Black Star Scar, even if the leader of the Kunlun Sect personally came..."

Officer Sun suddenly lowered his voice.

He narrowed his eyes.

"And he would never be a match for you, Chief Constable."

"Hahaha."

"Yes, yes, the chief constable's martial arts are unparalleled."

"Dare to mess with our Chief Constable? He'll be torn in two, like Qingchengzi, ripped apart!"

"Who doesn't know the title of Chief Constable Bloodhand Butcher?" "Hahaha."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

What gave them such confidence was Lu Yuan's unfathomable martial prowess.

At the age of fifteen, he single-handedly stormed Qingcheng Mountain, tore apart the third-rank martial artist Qingchengzi, and caused Qingcheng Mountain to decline and its lineage to be cut off.

If Lu Yuan was this powerful five years ago, he will only be more terrifying five years from now.

Could a seventh-rank martial artist like Black Star Scar possibly turn the world upside down?

“Friend, this is not funny.”

"I am not cruel."

"I think I'm pretty easygoing."

Lu Yuan was slightly dissatisfied with his subordinates' explanation.

He considered himself a gentle and friendly person.

Yet some people always think he's cruel.

They tore Qingchengzi apart with their bare hands and slaughtered Qingcheng Mountain.

This is a misunderstanding, a rumor spread by misinformation. While it is true that he tore Qingchengzi apart, it was not his true intention.

Qingchengzi harbored a wanted criminal of the imperial court, repeatedly spoke rudely to Lu Yuan, slandered the imperial court, and refused to surrender.

Left with no other choice, Lu Yuan had to take action to suppress the rebellion.

However, he used too much force and accidentally tore Qingchengzi in two.

As luck would have it, someone else witnessed the scene and spread the word.

After various versions added embellishments, it became the version where Lu Yuan was the reincarnation of a demon and tore apart Qingcheng Mountain.

Lu Yuan was helpless in the face of this.

Actually, you can't blame Lu Yuan for this; it's just that Qingchengzi's body is too fragile.

If he hadn't been physically weak, how could Lu Yuan have so easily torn him in two?

"Chief Constable, I believe you. I have always firmly believed that you are a kind and benevolent person."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The constables looked at each other and smiled.

"Fine, fine, think whatever you want."

"Anyway, you can handle it when the time comes."

"I'm not getting involved in this."

Lu Yuan said a few words, but he didn't intend to get involved.

On the one hand, the main force involved in the arrest was the Six Doors (a government agency), while the county government of Wangyou County only assisted.

On the other hand, he disliked the Six Doors and had a very poor impression of them.

Also, he will have a day off in three days.

Nine-to-five, no work on holidays, that's the principle.

"Chief Constable, aren't you coming?"

"What am I here for? I'm on vacation in three days. Why would I work overtime for a lecherous thief?"

"Chief Constable, but that lecherous thief is worth three thousand taels of silver."

"Three thousand taels of silver is the reward offered to the public. We are government employees, and we're lucky if we get thirty taels of silver. At most, it will add to your merits and help you get promoted in the future."

"Work overtime for thirty taels of silver? Do I look like someone who's short of money?"

Lu Yuan is not short of money.

If he needs money, he can just go up the mountain to suppress bandits.

The small reward from the imperial court held no appeal for him.

"It's getting late, time to change shifts."

Lu Yuan waved his hand, handing over the patrol duties to the constables who came to take over.

"The Chief Constable."

"Hold on."

Constable Sun called out to Lu Yuan.

"Old Sun? What's up?"

"Chief Constable, there is something I don't understand."

"explain."

"What level have you reached so far?"

"Are you a first-rank martial artist? Or have you reached an even higher level?"

Constable Sun looked at Lu Yuan intently, hoping that Lu Yuan could give him an answer.

Upon hearing this, the others also looked at Lu Yuan with curiosity.

They also want to know the answer.

"A first-rank martial artist? Haha, you've misunderstood."

"I, Lu Yuan, do not know martial arts; I am simply born with superhuman strength."

"No grade."
