He achieved the pinnacle of martial arts starting with breaking through the limits of Tiger Fist.

"Wow, Young Master Jiang, today is quite something."

At Long Family Fish Stall, Manager Zhang's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

Jiang Lin's catch this time was indeed a bit surprising. Putting aside everything else, just that "Ghost Knife Head" alone was worth no less than 150 taels of silver.

"Just lucky."

Jiang Lin appeared nonchalant, as if this gain was insignificant.

"This is not just good luck. Young master, you are favored by my young lady. You must be exceptionally talented. Your future is limitless."

Ever since Steward Zhang learned that Jiang Lin and his young mistress had a close relationship, he became increasingly flattering.

Jiang Lin sighed helplessly. He was really lucky today, but no one believed him when he said it.

And then there's this old Zhang, who keeps calling me "Young Master," which makes him feel really awkward.

"Manager Zhang, please don't call me Young Master anymore, it feels a bit strange."

"Ah, young master, you are mistaken."

Old Zhang continued with a serious expression, "Think about it, young master, you're bound to be an extraordinary person in the future. You'll be called 'young master' sooner or later. You should get used to it as soon as possible."

"..."

Look how eloquent this person is; no wonder he's capable of managing things.

After the fish was weighed, it totaled more than 180 taels of silver.

Jiang Lin took the money and was about to leave when he was stopped by Steward Zhang.

"Young master, please wait, there is another great piece of good news."

As he spoke, Manager Zhang pulled a large red invitation card with gold lettering from his pocket.

"This is?"

Jiang Lin was a little confused. Could it be that this old man was taking a concubine and wanted to invite him for drinks?

Old Zhang beamed with joy, "My young lady has broken through to the Tendon Refining Realm. In three days, she will be holding a grand banquet at home and has specially instructed me to send an invitation to the young master."

That's a breakthrough?

There hadn't been any mention of it before, and Jiang Lin hadn't noticed any signs at all.

He was naturally overjoyed. After breaking through to the Tendon Refining Realm, he was already considered a martial arts master in Changning County.

After all, his cheap master was fifty years old and had only just begun to refine his bones.

Moreover, Senior Sister Long is still so young; her future is truly limitless.

Jiang Lin solemnly accepted the invitation, promising to be there on time, and then took his leave.

As for why the Long family knew his whereabouts and sent someone to deliver the invitation in time, he did not investigate further.

After all, he sells fish at this fish stall every day. Given Manager Zhang's style of doing things, he couldn't possibly not take this opportunity to become familiar with his young mistress.

He still needed to inform Sanlang about what had happened today.

This has caused trouble for Sanlang; the person they were trying to win over has been directly offended by them.

If they fail to win them over, they might even come to hate them.

It would be best to greet Saburo first, find out where the three of them live, and clean up any mess.

He had been contemplating killing someone on the water that day, but considering the presence of many fishermen nearby, he decided to let it go for the time being.

He was born and raised here, and he didn't want to be known as a robber and murderer.

Even gangsters care about their reputation in their neighborhoods, let alone him; such thoughts are only human nature.

He had originally planned to get rid of these people when he had some free time that day, but after receiving the invitation today, he changed his mind.

Although it's only a one-day trip to the city, it's better to be safe than sorry. I don't want anything to happen while I'm away, and then it will be too late to regret it.

Back at the base, before Jiang Lin could speak, Chen Sanlang spoke first.

"This is truly a stroke of luck! Brother Lin, the Water Snake Gang is in trouble!"

Chen Sanlang was overjoyed. When he saw Jiang Lin come in, he couldn't wait to speak.

"Huh? What happened?"

Chen Sanlang excitedly explained, "I had someone keep an eye on the Water Snake Gang's stronghold before, and today that person reported that the Water Snake Gang's stronghold was wiped out overnight."

"What a coincidence?" Jiang Lin was a little confused. "Didn't you take over the Water Snake Gang's stronghold? Where is there another stronghold now?"

Chen Sanlang immediately explained to Jiang Lin that the Water Snake Gang did not disband after being forced to leave, but instead took root in the shantytown outside the south gate of the county town.

A familiar scent assaulted Jiang Lin's nostrils. "Where exactly is the Water Snake Gang's stronghold located?"

Chen Sanlang gestured again, leaving Jiang Lin completely bewildered.

"Wow, this place sounds so familiar!"

Jiang Lin didn't bother to think about it in detail; he knew he could find out when asked. He simply recounted what had happened with the Wang brothers that day.

Chen Sanlang had been involved in gangs for several years and wasn't exactly a saint. "Since that's the case, these guys are no longer of any use. It's best to just get rid of them."

Jiang Lin had the same idea, "Then do you know where these three people live?"

"Brother Lin, you underestimate me. These three have unknown origins; how could I not find out their background?"

Jiang Lin nodded in satisfaction. "Then let's do it tonight. The sooner we resolve this, the better. I have other things to do."

Jiang Lin's so-called "busy business" was precisely about Senior Sister Chen's breakthrough.

When he broke through to the next level, Senior Sister Long would always give him valuable pills. How could he possibly come empty-handed when Senior Sister Chen broke through this time?

Today was the second time he had exceeded the fishing limit, and his fishing skills had greatly improved. Taking advantage of the three-day break, he had to catch a good fish to impress everyone.

……

Frosty moon hangs from the eaves, and snow flies across the sky and earth.

Inside the courtyard of the Wang brothers' residence.

Three people were fighting fiercely. What should have been a scene of three brothers fighting one person together could no longer be maintained.

Wang Da was hit in the chest by Jiang Lin's "Mad Tiger Collapses Mountain" move and flew seven or eight meters away. Now his chest is caved in and he is barely breathing.

"Second brother, since we're going to die anyway, let's just fight him to the death."

Wang San screamed in despair.

If Jiang Lin were alone in this situation, they might still have considered escaping for their lives.

However, besides Jiang Lin, Chen Sanlang was also leading a dozen gang members to provide cover on the perimeter.

They couldn't even defeat Jiang Lin alone, let alone the others. Today, they were doomed.

In desperation, the Wang brothers shouted in unison and attacked from the left and right, fighting with their lives on the line.

Jiang Lin remained as steady as a mountain in the face of the two men's fighting style of exchanging blows, simply responding to their moves without flinching even when he was occasionally hit by a punch.

He deliberately fought these three brothers alone today, hoping to take this opportunity to test his martial arts skills, but the result was very disappointing.

The "Iron Arrow Fist" practiced by these three brothers was originally a fist technique developed from archery skills. Its moves are quite fierce and much stronger than the martial arts of the Jianghu.

However, the three of them seemed to have not learned everything, lacking the most basic body-strengthening stance training, resulting in the current situation where they had the moves but lacked power.

After a few more moves, Jiang Lin found the fight increasingly uninteresting. Despite being at the same level of three breakthroughs, these people couldn't even break through his defenses.

Taking advantage of the moment when Wang Er threw a punch, Jiang Lin turned sideways and used his shoulder to block the blow.

With a "Tiger Devours the Heart" strike, the right hand aimed straight for Wang Er's chest. The punch came suddenly, and Wang Er had no time to defend himself before being struck in the chest.

Under the immense force of the impact, Wang Er felt as if he had been struck by a sledgehammer. He staggered back ten steps, spat out a mouthful of blood mist, and collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

"Second Brother."

Before Wang San could even utter a cry of grief, Jiang Lin had already lunged forward with astonishing speed.

Before he could react, a barrage of fists came flying at him. He could only try his best to defend himself, but the fists were overwhelming, and how much of them could he block?

The term "Shadow Tiger Chasing the Wind" refers not only to the speed of the punches but also to the unpredictable and elusive footwork.

Driven by his movement, his punches were as fast as the wind. Wang San felt attacks coming from all directions, front, back, left, and right, and there was nothing he could block or avoid.

The battle lasted for less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, from start to finish.

Chen Sanlang, leading a group of his gang, stood by, dumbfounded.

These three brothers, even the one with the lowest cultivation level, are all experts who have broken through the cultivation level twice!

Yet these three were like lambs to the slaughter in front of Jiang Lin, unable to make a ripple at all.

Could it be that this person has already reached the martial arts realm?
