The Corpse Driver of Western Hunan: My profession panel has no upper limit.

Lu Jin felt the changes within himself, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up. He knew that his judgment was correct.

He used his luck to stretch his body, then stomped his foot hard, his right arm immediately forming a right angle. In the blink of an eye, a huge recoil force surged up from Lu Jin's foot.

The force traveled rapidly through the spine and suddenly burst out from the hand.

Bajiquan! Top of the Heart Elbow!

Although no object was hit, the deafening sound of air being torn apart was incessant, frantically stimulating Lu Jin's auditory nerves.

Turning his head to look around, Lu Jin made a quick visual estimate and realized that in that instant, he had covered a distance of two or three meters, which was several times more terrifying than the burst speed just now.

"not bad."

Lu Jin nodded to himself. Bajiquan was already fierce, and when combined with his extraordinary burst speed, it became even more powerful.

It wasn't just the increased burst speed; even in ordinary situations, Lu Jin noticed that his body had become more agile.

The words appeared on the retina.

[Corpse Driver: LV2 (265/2000)]

Bajiquan: Ming Jin (154/1000)

【Strength: 10.4】

Agility: 9.3 → 11.5

【Spirit: 9.1】

[Willpower: 8.9]

After being bound to Swift Steps, his agility attribute actually grew quite well, which made the light in Lu Jin's eyes shine even brighter.

"I need to speed up my liver panel, and I need more and stronger corpses!"

Just thinking about this made Lu Jin's heart flutter, as if a beast inside him was about to awaken.

Unrivaled power.

The next day, under the blazing sun, the first rays of morning sunlight shone on Lu Jin's face. Becoming a Ming Jin martial artist not only transformed his physique and temperament but also filled him with boundless energy.

Despite not being in a deep sleep, he was still full of energy.

"Today is another day full of hope!"

Early in the morning, he got up and went to Lin Tianzheng's Miao village, where many young people were already scattered around.

Upon seeing Lu Jin arrive, the crowd unconsciously made way for him, all looking at him with strange eyes.

Although Lu Jin wore a smile, the murderous aura that flashed between his brows made everyone know that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Xiong Yan, the son of the clan chief, frowned and his face darkened. He wondered if it was just his imagination.

In just one night, Lu Jin seemed to have grown much stronger. Standing there, the way he practiced his fist techniques gave Lu Jin a sense of unease.

When Lin Tianzheng came out, he walked up to Lu Jin with a gentle smile, and this feeling of unease turned into an extremely urgent sense of crisis.

Everyone could see that Lin Tianzheng's affection for Lu Jin had been impossible to hide these days. When practicing boxing, he spent the most time instructing Lu Jin, even more than Xiong Yan.

This scene made Xiong Yan very uncomfortable, and a cold look unconsciously appeared on his dark face.

He must be the successor to the corpse-driving master, and he can only be the successor.

No matter what method you use!

His fists were clenched tightly, and the unique strength of a Ming Jin martial artist swirled around his palms.

The selection of the clan leader is imminent, and his rivals are showing remarkable growth in the hands of the High Priest and the Gu Granny.

If he cannot obtain the position of corpse driver, even if his father is the current clan leader, he will not be able to silence the gossip.

Becoming a corpse driver would be a great contribution to the entire Miao village, definitely a plus. Moreover, becoming Lin Tianzheng's disciple would allow him to play a pivotal role in the selection of the clan leader with just a word.

It should be noted that if Lin Tianzheng had not been unwilling to be elected as the clan leader, he would be the current clan leader based on his contributions to the Miao village when he was young.

At that time, Lin Tian was using the money he earned from transporting corpses to help the villagers of Miao Village. Now, every household in Miao Village can still have enough to eat.

Lin Tianzheng made a great contribution; otherwise, many people would have been driven to desperation long ago because they could not pay taxes to the local warlords.

As the sun rose high in the sky, and everyone was preparing to disperse after their daily boxing practice, Lin Tianzheng stood with his hands behind his back, his voice booming like a bell.

"Those whose names I call, please stay; everyone else can leave."

"Xiongyan".

"Bone strength".

"Bai Cheng."

"Lu Jin".

...

Hearing Lin Tianzheng call out names one by one, those whose names weren't called couldn't hide their disappointment. Although after learning boxing for a while, everyone knew in their hearts that they could take over the job of the corpse driver.

But when the actual verdict was announced, it was still hard to let go of the feeling.

Lu Jin stood proudly beside Xiong Yan. His imposing figure made Xiong Yan frown. He was nearly 1.8 meters tall, yet he was still a head shorter than Lu Jin.

This gave him a strange sense of pressure and made him even more upset.

There were seven people whose names were called out, all of whom Lin Tianzheng considered to be promising talents. His sharp eyes swept over Lu Jin and the others.

Then his serious, deep voice rang out.

"We all know why we asked you to stay. You all have good talent and temperament, and you all have the potential to become corpse drivers."

"But I'll only choose the best one!"

"A corpse-driving craftsman needs both martial arts skills and courage. Your martial arts skills are decent, but now you need to pass the test of courage!"

"Do you see that mountain?"

Looking in the direction Lin Tianzheng pointed, a distant mountain came into view, which the locals called Huangquan Mountain.

The mountains were vast and fraught with danger. Some of their villagers had gone hunting in these mountains, but never returned.

Rumor has it that a great terror lurks in this mountain!

"When I was young, I explored Huangquan Mountain. Deep in the mountain, there is a population of king snakes. I am short of medicinal materials for brewing spirit snake wine. I will set off tonight to catch a king snake there. Whoever takes the shortest time will inherit my mantle."

After saying this, Lin Tianzheng smiled. He suddenly moved quickly to the depths of the village and then pulled out the corpse of a terrifying giant snake about 3 meters long, presenting it to Lu Jin and the others.

Its fangs were long and thin, and its body was covered with black patterns. Even in death, it still exuded a dangerous aura.

The chill emanating from within made several people hesitate.

"Uncle Lin, I give up! The king cobra is deadly!"

"No, people will die, Uncle Lin!" The burly man named Guli trembled uncontrollably, muttering, "There's a Ghost King there, it's a nine-out-of-ten chance of death!"

These words made some people even more frightened, not only because of the highly venomous king cobra, but also because there were other terrifying creatures in Huangquan Mountain.

Ghosts and monsters are not just legends.

The reason why Gu Li was so afraid was because when he was a child, he was fearless and went to Huangquan Mountain on his own. Although he survived, he was mentally unstable for a long time.

"Yes, Uncle Lin, this isn't a test, it's suicide."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian exerted force with both hands, and the king snake was instantly cut in two by his strength.

"You can choose not to go, but you will not be able to inherit my mantle. If you are afraid of even this, then the mountains you will have to cross after becoming corpse drivers will be far more terrifying than the Yellow Springs Mountain, and everything you see will be beyond your comprehension."

For a few seconds, the huge village fell silent. Although they were unwilling, once one person left, more and more people followed suit.

Seeing this, Xiong Yan was overjoyed. He glanced at Lu Jin out of the corner of his eye, only to see Lu Jin looking down at his nose, seemingly unmoved.

Soon it was just him and Xiong Yan left.

"Have you two thought this through? Life and death are left to fate." Lin Tianzheng slowly spoke: "Yellow Springs Mountain is indeed dangerous."

"It's alright, Uncle Lin, I believe I can overcome this." Xiong Yan's face was pale. Actually, he was also a little scared, but he had to inherit the mantle of the corpse driver.

"And you, Lu?"

"I don't know what danger is. Martial artists are never afraid of any danger. If there is anything terrifying or strange, it should be that they are facing me directly."

Lu Jin remained calm.

For him, the greatest danger was not becoming strong and merely surviving in this chaotic world.

"Um."

Lin Tianzheng nodded, his admiration for Lu Jin impossible to hide, which made Xiong Yan's gaze grow even colder.

Especially after Lin Tianzheng asked him to leave and sent Lu Jin to a corner of the village alone, a sense of crisis had already settled in Xiong Yan's mind.

"This is the Spirit Snake Medicinal Wine?"

In a courtyard somewhere in the village, Lin Tianzheng took out a jar of medicinal wine and handed it to Lu Jin. The amount was small, and the volume was about the same as the large bottle of mineral water that Lu Jin drank in his previous life.

It was wrapped in a transparent jar, inside which was a section of the snake's torso, which was slightly different from Lu Jin's idea of ​​soaking the whole snake in alcohol.

With the addition of some medicinal herbs, the overall medicinal wine is brownish-yellow. Upon opening the lid, a strong aroma of alcohol wafts out.

Just from taking a sniff, Lu Jin felt his blood and qi surging within his body.

"You've got some nerve, using a whole spirit snake to make wine. That would require so many medicinal herbs. I don't even have many ten-year-old portions left. You're getting a good deal."

Lin Tianzheng smiled and spoke, then quickly opened a huge transparent jar and threw the spirit snake that had just been torn off into it.

Lu Jin clearly saw that the weasel spirit's inner core was also among them, along with countless other precious medicinal herbs.

"Alright, let time tell. Don't be fooled, if you inherit my mantle, this is all prepared for you."

At this point, Lin Tian patted Lu Jin on the shoulder, speaking in a somewhat mature tone, "Don't disappoint me."

"No, Master Lin."

"Also, be careful of king cobras. You've seen weasel spirits, and some king cobras have also become spirits."

"OK."

Lu Jin nodded his thanks, but his heart was filled with vigilance.

King cobras can grow naturally to 4 meters long on their own, so imagine if they were to become spirits like the weasel spirit.

The python's physique and potent venom.

"Getting bitten could really be fatal."

Lu Jin took a deep breath, then left the village with the spirit snake wine in his arms. However, he hadn't gone far when Xiong Yan blocked his way, which made Lu Jin frown.

"Snake Wine? Uncle Lin even gave you that!"

Xiong Yan exclaimed in surprise. As the son of the clan chief, he naturally knew the effects of the spirit snake wine and had been taking it himself.

Otherwise, his martial arts cultivation would not have progressed so rapidly, and he would already have the strength of a Ming Jin martial artist.

"Hmm, what's the matter?" Lu Jin didn't explain much and asked directly.

Xiong Yan withdrew his shocked gaze and got straight to the point: "How about I give you 100 silver dollars to voluntarily give up this test of courage?"

"The legacy of the corpse driver is of great use to me. When I become the next clan leader, the position of corpse driver will be yours."

"Let me become a corpse driver first, and then I'll help you become one."

"No."

Lu Jin smiled and declined, "Compared to money, I'd rather quickly get to know the true path of martial arts."

Seeing Lu Jin refuse, Xiong Yan's face immediately darkened. He wanted to say something, but Lu Jin had already brushed past him, which made Xiong Yan furious.

"Hmph, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences."

Xiong Yan flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly. Since peace can't solve the problem, then we'll use force. We'll kill Lu Jin after we set off tonight.

It's perfectly normal for someone to die inside Huangquan Mountain.

At this moment, Lu Jin turned around and looked at Xiong Yan's back. He thought of the ruthless look in Xiong Yan's eyes, which made Lu Jin feel irritable.

He has an extreme aversion to trouble.

Compared to all this scheming and infighting, he just wanted to focus on improving his character's skills and practice martial arts every day.

But now someone is going to cause him trouble.

After seeing Xiong Yan's ruthless gaze, Lu Jin had already sentenced him to death. He wouldn't wait for a potential enemy to strike first.

Unless you can't beat them.

Looking at the jar of medicinal wine in his hand, Lu Jin's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his strength suddenly erupted.

Why are you forcing me?

...
