Becoming a saint begins with apprenticing under the last martial arts champion.

Wang Shouyin looked at Lu Changqing and asked, "Are you the Changqing who went to school with Xiaohao before?"

Lu Changqing nodded and replied, "Uncle, it's me."

Wang Shouyin took a deep breath and smiled, "The changes are too great."

"I don't even recognize my uncle anymore!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he asked, "Did you kill this demonic fish?"

Lu Changqing answered truthfully, without taking credit.

The main cause was attributed to the damage caused by the two-barreled muskets.

Liu Shitou, being a straightforward person, couldn't help but chime in with a muffled voice as Lu Changqing continued, "Master, Brother Lu is wrong!"

"The demon fish wasn't killed solely by firearms!"

"Back then, the ferocious fish charged all the way onto the deck! If it weren't for Brother Lu grabbing a knife and fighting to the death, everyone on our ship would have been drowned!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wednesday immediately echoed, "Sir, that's how it is!"

Immediately afterward, Lao Chen, Zhao Yi, Zhao Er, and others also spoke up.

As the group finished speaking, Wang Shouyin looked at Lu Changqing with even more admiration.

Judging from the expressions and attitudes of the other people on the ship, and the bloodstains on each other's bodies.

Lu Changqing is absolutely the one who deserves the most credit!

However, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was not eager for quick success...

For a moment, Wang Shouyin couldn't help but look at Wang Hao...

Wang Hao was grinning widely, like a fool.

This presents a stark contrast.

Hey!

Wang Shouyin sighed softly, then, not minding Lu Changqing's dirtiness, patted him on the shoulder with a smile:

"Young hero! You're amazing!"

As he spoke, he turned to Wang Hao and said, "You and Lao Xing take Changqing home to rest."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao immediately agreed: "Okay!"

Immediately, with the permission of the burly man close to him, Lu Changqing walked to Wang Hao's side.

Wang Hao was extremely excited and didn't mind the smell on Lu Changqing's body. He directly reached out and pinched Lu Changqing's arm, and even wiped the dark green blood on his hand to examine it carefully.

"Damn, Changqing, you've really mastered the true teachings?"

"He's only been practicing martial arts for a short time, and he's already killing a demonic fish with his bare hands!?"

Lu Changqing couldn't help but chuckle. "What do you mean by killing the demon fish with your bare hands? It was really because the demon fish was severely injured by the musket that I was able to finish it off."

After praising him repeatedly, Wang Hao said, "No matter what, after tonight, you'll have a reputation here at the docks!"

Just then, a scent of perfume wafted over.

Wang Fanghua also approached Lu Changqing, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyebrows: "Little Lu, what level have you reached in your martial arts practice?"

Lu Changqing called out "Sister," and looked at Wang Fanghua, replying, "Just started practicing, reached the Skin and Flesh Realm, but hasn't started the skin-refining process yet."

Wang Fanghua exclaimed in surprise, "You were able to kill the demon fish after just one session?"

She had never fought against demons, but she knew how powerful they were.

To hunt demons, you need several spears and a few decent martial artists to lead the way; otherwise, you won't be able to win.

The old ape in the mountains outside the city fled in terror after being surrounded by two heavy machine guns and several cannons.

Lu Changqing immediately replied, "Actually, it was the muskets that dealt the crucial damage to that demonic fish."

Upon hearing this, Wang Fanghua nodded slightly and said nothing more.

But his eyes also revealed admiration for Lu Changqing.

Regardless, at this age, daring to fight demons and earning the respect of so many veterans on the ship is no mere showmanship.

After exchanging a few words, Wang Hao left with Lu Changqing.

...

"Lord Haiwei, the demon fish has been hunted. Shouldn't we be able to slow down the matters concerning the river?" Wang Shouyin was in a good mood and said cheerfully to the foreigner beside him.

The foreigner in the vest, who was none other than Lord Haiwei, had a grim expression. "If there's one demonic fish, there might be a second one."

"Starting tomorrow, the pier will remain temporarily closed pending further investigation."

Wang Shouyin had no objection and agreed appropriately.

Because he knew that this excuse could not last.

It's nothing more than sealing it off for five or ten days.

The docks will be open in a month at most.

...

After Haiwei directed the police to take away the monster fish's corpse, he angrily dispersed the crowd.

Finally, I got into the black pickup truck and slammed the door shut.

He took out a cigar and lit it with a match.

"Inhale—exhale!"

The pickup truck driver, a short-haired white man, saw Haiwei's appearance in the rearview mirror and said, "Boss, should we go and get that kid who killed the demon fish..."

"What does it have to do with him!" Haiwei pointed at the driver, his cigar-clutching hand angrily, "What's the point of using underhanded tactics on a lousy fisherman who just got lucky?"

"What we need to do now is to tear open the Wang family's defenses!"

The driver immediately fell silent.

After a moment of silence, Haiwei waved his hand.

The driver immediately started the engine, stepped on the gas, and rode the bicycle towards the wealthy area to the east.

Haiwei watched the dilapidated tenement buildings and alleyways drive by, then his eyes flashed with a sinister light as he said:

"His daughter is very strong-willed; we could give it a try."

"His son is weak, but he can still find an opportunity..."

"Since the Wang family doesn't want to continue being the leader in the west of the city, then let them take this position from somewhere else!"

...

...

The spacious study, filled with the aroma of books, is brightly lit.

Lu Changqing had already washed up and changed into the brand-new shirt and vest that Wang Hao had prepared.

The two sat on a leather sofa.

Looking at Lu Changqing's tall, slender figure and resolute face, Wang Hao felt happy for his brother, but couldn't help but sigh softly.

"You're so handsome now, it's making me uncomfortable, Changqing!"

Lu Changqing couldn't help but laugh and also made a joke.

Immediately, the two began to talk about the battle they had just fought on the river.

Wang Fanghua, sitting behind her desk, listened to the details, occasionally interjecting with a question.

It took less than half an hour.

The study door was pushed open.

"squeak."

Moonlight streamed into the room.

The three looked up and were surprised to see that it was Wang Shouyin, the head of the Wang family, who had returned. They all quickly stood up.

"father."

"Dad, did that foreigner give you any trouble?"

"Uncle Wang."

Wang Shouyin walked in with a smile, gestured for the group to sit down, and said to Wang Fanghua, "We'll talk about it later."

Then, he looked at Lu Changqing.

At this moment, Lu Changqing had washed himself clean and was wearing a formal suit. The collar of his shirt was not buttoned, and while he looked stern, he also exuded an indescribable sense of ease.

Wang Shouyin clicked his tongue in admiration: "Good boy, talented, and handsome too... Wang Hao! Look at him!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao's face showed resentment, but he couldn't say anything.

After muttering a few words, Wang Shouyin called out to Uncle Xing, who was waiting outside the door, "Old Xing, bring the things here."

At this moment, Uncle Xing stepped over the threshold and entered the study. He walked up to Lu Changqing and handed him a rather large cloth bag.

Lu Changqing took it without understanding why, only to feel a sudden weight in his hand.

Before he could react, Wang Shouyin said, "Take this one hundred silver dollars."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changqing's eyes narrowed. Just as he was about to say something, Wang Shouyin raised his hand and continued:

"Slaying the demonic fish and saving my colleagues are both achievements."

Secondly, you did your uncle a great favor.

"One hundred silver dollars is perfectly reasonable and polite, please accept it, no need to be polite."

Wang Hao quickly interjected, "Changqing! This is money you're entitled to; it's not free money. You really have to take it!!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changqing took a final breath, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, and thanked him for accepting the gift.
