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

This was Jiang Lin's first battle since advancing to the Martial Realm, but it ended in a crushing defeat.

This gave Jiang Lin a clearer understanding of his own combat abilities, and the effect of the swirling force was unexpectedly useful in combat.

Although Senior Brother Li had praised the Spinning Force before, it was far less real than experiencing it firsthand.

This skinny monkey is considered one of the best in the Skin Refining Realm. In addition to his excellent assassination skills, he can also defeat Zhao Yi of the Xingyi Quan School in a head-on battle.

But even such a character, once given an opportunity, will meet his end in just a few moves.

This shows that his combat strength is already at the upper level in the Skin Refining Realm.

Jiang Lin was not surprised at all by this.

The offensive power of the swirling force and the physical enhancement brought by breaking the limits of the Tiger Soul Stance are advantages that others do not possess.

Jiang Lin first searched the thin monkey's body but found no particular clues.

There were only three bottles of pills, a silver note worth one hundred taels, and a few taels of loose silver.

Jiang Lin thought for a moment and decided to take the body back.

If someone dies at a martial arts school, causing them to lose face, then they must restore their reputation.

If you don't bring the body back, how can you prove that you killed him? Are you just going to rely on empty words?

Picking up the dagger that had fallen to the ground, Jiang Lin walked into the woods and cut some green vines.

The corpse's spine was broken, so it was easy to fold it back together and tie it up in a few quick movements. Jiang Lin easily lifted it with one hand, as if he were carrying a large package.

With his current strength, he can lift something weighing over a hundred pounds with one hand without any effort, though it looks a bit creepy.

Along the way, especially as they approached the city gate, they frightened many pedestrians.

Even the guards at the city gate were so startled that they almost closed the gate.

"Halt! Who goes there?"

The officers and soldiers questioned him tremblingly, their weapons shaking slightly.

"Jiang Lin of the Tiger Warrior Boxing School has just killed the madman who murdered his brother and is about to bring the villain's body into the city to report to his master."

Jiang Lin remained completely calm and even weighed the corpse in his hand.

"Tiger, Tiger Legion Boxing Gym..."

A lowly soldier is just trying to make a living; he wouldn't dare get involved in something like this.

By this time, the government had long since ceased to act, a fact known to everyone.

People are dying every day in this shantytown outside the city walls. Do you think the government doesn't know?

Senior Sister Long had mentioned before that she had followed the Long family's escort team to suppress bandits on the Lanjiang River.

Lanjiang is the only outlet of Yunmengze and a vital waterway connecting Xiaoxiang Road and Jiangnan Road. In such an important place, it was the Long family, not the government, that was tasked with suppressing bandits.

This shows what kind of world we live in now.

Without waiting for a reply, Jiang Lin carried the corpse and rushed into the city gate, startling the guards who retreated in fear.

After entering the outer city, there was still quite a distance to go to the Tiger Warrior Boxing Hall, so he walked straight through the street, completely ignoring the exclamations that kept coming from behind him.

Outside the gate of the "Tiger Warrior Boxing Gym", Jiang Lin called Lin Zheng to guard the body, while he went to the inner courtyard to invite his master, Li Zhenguan.

There has been considerable controversy surrounding the "Tiger Warriors Boxing Club" in recent days. Many people believe that Li Zhenguan is too old and can only watch helplessly as his own disciple is killed, doing nothing about it.

This is also why Jiang Lin wanted to move the body back to the martial arts school.

Since the person has been killed, the matter must be handled well. As the only true disciple of the martial arts school, it is my duty to uphold the reputation of the school.

So the corpse was to be placed in front of the gate, so that people could watch it.

"Is this the person who killed two top students from the Tiger Ben Boxing School and the Xingyi Boxing School?"

Jiang Lin carried the corpse all the way here, making quite a commotion. This street of martial arts schools was bustling with people, so it naturally attracted a crowd.

After asking around, they quickly found out what had happened.

"I heard it was Jiang Lin, a disciple of the Tiger Warrior Fist, who killed his senior brother all by himself to avenge him."

"Jiang Lin, I've never heard of that name before. I don't recall any of the senior disciples of Tiger Fist having this name."

One of the well-informed individuals immediately replied, "I heard that this person just broke through to the Martial Realm, it seems to have been no more than ten days."

"How is this possible? If this assassin didn't have some skill, how could he have killed two martial artists? I heard that Zhao Qing of Xingyi Quan died in a head-on confrontation. Zhao Qing's reputation on this street is not small."

"How can it be impossible? The corpse has been brought. Look, Master Li has come out."

At this moment, the skinny monkey's body had been straightened, and the murderous dagger was placed next to the body.

As Li Zhenguan emerged from the main gate, the onlookers made way for him, afraid of blocking his path.

Li Zhenguan approached the corpse and began to examine it carefully.

Those in the know understand that a corpse can reveal a lot.

The calluses on the tiger's mouth can indicate what weapon the deceased used in life, and the muscle distribution on the feet can also determine whether the person was skilled in light-footed martial arts.

Even from the injuries on the body, one can tell what kind of martial arts technique the deceased used to die.

A moment later, Wei Song from the Xingyi Quan school also arrived and checked the situation with Li Zhenguan.

The two martial arts schools were not far apart, and Master Wei arrived at the scene in less than fifteen minutes after receiving the news.

Wei Song picked up the short knife beside the corpse, examined it carefully, and said with certainty, "This is undoubtedly the person. The blade and the wound match perfectly."

His words would definitely be more effective than Li Zhenguan's; they're both seasoned veterans, and they don't need to be reminded of these things.

Looking again at the gruesome death of the murderer beneath him, he said, "Brother Li has taken on a fine disciple. At such a young age, he has already grasped the essence of the Tiger Warrior Fist. His future is limitless."

The onlookers suddenly realized why he could kill such a powerful opponent so soon after breaking through; it turned out he had grasped the true meaning of the fist technique, so it was no wonder.

"As expected of the Tiger Warriors Boxing School, they solved the problem with just a random disciple."

"Ah, if only I had become Master Li's apprentice back then."

There was a lot of discussion around, and it was believed that it wouldn't be long before everyone knew about it, and Jiang Lin's goal would be achieved.

After summoning someone to collect the corpses, Li Zhenguan led Jiang Lin back to the study in the backyard.

After inquiring about the specific details, Li Zhenguan nodded in satisfaction. "Starting next month, you will receive an extra bottle of pills each month. You've helped your master, so I can't be stingy. I'll risk my reputation to cut off your cultivation resources."

"Thank you for your guidance, Master."

Jiang Lin was surprised by the unexpected gain and became excited.

Why is cultivation so slow after becoming a martial artist? Aside from talent and comprehension, the most important reason is the lack of resources, a lack that money cannot change.

Now, with his master's words and the pills from the Long family, he has finally solved one-third of the shortfall. The rest he will have to rely on fishing to exchange for.

After bidding farewell to his master, Jiang Lin did not immediately return to the front courtyard, but instead went to find Li Changfeng.

I had promised to take him on the ship, but now that something has changed, I definitely need to go and explain.

Besides, he still has the "Hemp-Clad Guest" bait, which he hasn't had time to make yet, so he definitely won't be able to set sail today.
