Chapter 31 One-hit kill, initial fame rises
A moment later, Lu Jin arrived at the only martial arts school in Anyang County, Benlei Martial Arts School, which was also packed with people. Countless young martial artists had gathered there. Although the cost was huge, if they could get their hands on a century-old Changbai ginseng, it would be a win.
Martial artists who need top-grade medicines are never poor, which is why Hu Qiang is confident that his method will work.
"Ah Lu, you'll have to wait in this long line until tomorrow, but it seems like registration closes tonight."
"I can tell."
Lu Jin was planning to cut in line and become a bully again. In this world, as long as you have strength, you can break the rules. Although it was the territory of Benlei Martial Arts School, he had Lin Tianzheng, a master of hidden strength, by his side, so everything was fine.
"Brother Lu Jin, Master Lin?"
Just as Lu Jin was about to cut in line, Ren Yang, the second young master of the Ren family, suddenly spotted them and immediately came over, his eyes filled with surprise and delight. "Brother Lu Jin, are you also planning to participate in this competition?"
Seeing Ren Yang's expression, Lu Jin was somewhat surprised. "The city is under lockdown, so the day of the corpse-driving ceremony can only be postponed. With nothing to do, it's a good opportunity to participate in the martial arts competition."
"You should have said so earlier, Master Lu." Ren Yang was delighted. "My elder brother is the senior disciple of Benlei Martial Arts School. You don't need to buy a certificate. I'll just tell my brother."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin was taken aback, then immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute, "That's excellent, I'll speak to your elder brother about it myself."
Ren Yang looked somewhat embarrassed. He looked at Lu Jin and Lin Tianzheng and slowly said, "Master Lu, my elder brother still doesn't want you to set off in three days. He has even gone to pull strings to get special permission for the two masters to take my father's body out of the city."
"Your older brother is quite impatient."
Lu Jin smiled wryly. He was increasingly suspicious that Ren Zhenxing was the one from the Ren family who wanted to kill him. He even wanted Lin Tianzheng to help him get rid of Ren Zhenxing.
But after careful consideration, he gave up. Although Lin Tianzheng now regarded him as his own son, he would not kill innocent people indiscriminately without evidence.
Unless Lu Jin is ambushed and maimed or killed, Lin Tianzheng will really go crazy. He finally found a successor, and if he is murdered, Lin Tianzheng will not care about the evidence.
"You still have to rely on yourself."
Lin Tianzheng needs evidence.
Lu Jin only needs the list!
This is the difference in their work styles!
Before long, Lu Jin met Ren Zhenxing. Upon first seeing Lu Jin and Lin Tianzheng, Ren Zhenxing assumed that Lu Jin had been considering it all night and was planning to set off today. He thought he could just spend some money to get Lu Jin and Lin Tianzheng out of the city.
Anyway, those two definitely aren't the wanted criminal Zhang San.
This made Ren Zhenxing very happy.
However, when Ren Zhenxing heard that Lu Jin was planning to ask him for a martial arts school disciple certificate in order to participate in the martial arts competition organized by Hu Qiang, the smile on Ren Zhenxing's face suddenly stopped, and his expression became somewhat gloomy. Lu Jin also noticed this change.
He became even more certain that Ren Zhenxing was the one who killed him.
However, there were a few things that puzzled Lu Jin, namely why he would kill his own father.
But where did he get that Heart-Eating Gu from?
Furthermore, why did he urge himself to immediately transport the corpse?
Was she afraid that she might delay his trip and cause him trouble?
But if that's the case, why would he want to kill himself? If he kills himself, who will transport his corpse?
Perhaps that's why he hesitated, needing help to move the corpse but also afraid of discovering the truth about Master Ren's death.
Lu Jin felt that his analysis was correct. After all, the longer he stayed, the more he would need to come into contact with the corpses due to the rules of corpse transport. Therefore, Ren Zhenxing wanted him to set off immediately to transport the corpses and bury Master Ren's body, which would solve everything.
"Master Lu, would you like to participate in this martial arts competition?"
"Why not?" Lu Jin smiled. "I came from a Miao village and heard that the world is vast and full of talented people. With this heaven-sent opportunity, I'd like to meet some geniuses of my age from the vicinity of Anyang County!"
"Of course, it's unfortunate that we have to postpone transporting Master Ren's corpse. It just so happens that the city is under lockdown and the seventh day after his death is an auspicious day. It's all just a coincidence."
It can't be said to be a coincidence; the lockdown was more or less related to Lu Jin.
Ren Zhenxing forced a smile. He had originally wanted to spend more money to pull strings so that Lu Jin could leave the city earlier.
The sooner the corpse-transportation is completed, the sooner he can get his business done.
Hearing Lu Jin's words, it seemed he wasn't going to leave, while Ren Yang, a big fan of Lu Jin, was gesturing wildly.
"I can expect to see Brother Lu Jin show off his skills."
After a brief exchange with Lu Jin in the Miao village, he knew that Lu Jin was a genius and very strong, but he didn't know exactly how strong he was.
However, Ren Yang's estimate wasn't too bad; he might be just a little worse than his older brother, Ren Zhenxing, who was already twenty-eight.
He started learning martial arts from a young age, and his talent was worlds apart from Lu Jin's.
Normally, Anyang County would never be so lively. He was amazed to see such a grand martial arts competition, and Lu Jin, whom he both admired and was curious about, was on stage.
Even if it delays the time for transporting her father's corpse, it's still worth it!
Ren Zhenxing was very unhappy. His mind was racing, while Lu Jin carefully examined his eyes and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
"When the time comes, I will send your body and your father's body back together. The family should be complete, and it would be quite perfect to have three generations buried together."
In an instant, Ren Zhenxing glanced at the disciples of Benlei Martial Arts School beside him, his eyes lit up, and he immediately looked troubled.
"Master Lu, although I really want to help you with the martial arts school disciple certificate issue, I can't break the rules. As you can see, according to Commander Hu's requirements, everyone is queuing up to buy it with silver dollars."
"I can't break the rules for you alone, and as far as I know, there's a limit to the number of people who can sign up. After all, the competition only lasts one day, and we can't let too many martial artists go on stage."
"Master Lu, you've suddenly made me break the rules, which puts me in a difficult position," Ren Zhenxing said with a bitter expression. "If this incites public anger and so many martial arts masters cause trouble, that would be disastrous."
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianzheng keenly sensed something was amiss and quickly said, "Ah Lu, let's get in line."
But no sooner had he finished speaking than Ren Yang suddenly said, "Brother, isn't there a special rule? As long as you defeat one of our martial arts school's personal disciples, you can get a martial arts school disciple certificate for free."
Ren Zhenxing's smile vanished abruptly. He had thought that as long as Lu Jin was prevented from participating in the competition and some leverage was used to smooth things over, Lu Jin would be able to leave Anyang tonight.
With a few days of ample time, Lu Jin would surely be able to drive Ren Bochang's body back to the ancestral home. However, Ren Yang's words caught him completely off guard, leaving him extremely embarrassed. A murderous intent that had been hidden deep within him suddenly shot out!
At that moment, Lu Jin's scalp tingled!
His keen sense of killing intent detected the murderous intent. His eyes flashed with a fierce light as he stared at Ren Zhenxing for a few seconds before regaining his composure and speaking slowly.
"Oh? There's such a rule?"
"Of course, Brother Lu Jin, look over there."
Following the direction Ren Yang pointed, they saw a martial arts arena where many martial artists were gathered together, making a great commotion.
"There are martial arts masters there who don't want to pay the silver dollars but still want to get the certificate, but so far no one has succeeded."
Seeing that Lu Jin was somewhat tempted, Ren Zhenxing quickly spoke up to remind him, "Master Lu, the junior brothers who are responsible for guarding the arena are very strong. If they make a move, I'm worried that you will get hurt, which will affect your corpse-driving."
"It's alright."
Ren Zhenxing wanted to stop him, but was suddenly interrupted by a voice, "Zhenxing, since Master Lin's disciple has made up his mind, why not let him give it a try?"
"Guoli, you will be Master Lu's defender."
Amidst the laughter and conversation, a sinister-looking middle-aged man emerged from the inner hall of the martial arts school. His face was pale, and he exuded a chilling aura. He was Li Tianlei, the master of Benlei Martial Arts School, who was said to be on the verge of becoming a Grandmaster of Transformation.
Seeing that his master had already spoken, Ren Zhenxing had no choice but to give his junior brother Sun Guoli a look.
"National Li, do not harm Master Lu Jin."
"I know what I'm doing." Sun Guoli was tall and had a slightly arrogant look. He wasn't stupid, so he naturally understood what Ren Zhenxing meant.
"Master Lin, it's been so many years, you haven't changed at all."
"Li Duwu, I never expected you to become the head of the Benlei Martial Arts Academy." Lin Tianzheng explained to Lu Jin with a smile, "We met once when we were young."
"That wasn't just a one-time encounter, Master Lu. When your master was young, he was someone who dared to defy anyone. Back then, your master was quite the big shot in Anyang County, and he even came to our martial arts school to challenge us."
"I'm one of the people your master challenged," Li Tianlei laughed, but it was somewhat chilling.
"National University, that's enough."
"Yes, Master." Sun Guoli clasped his hands in greeting to Lu Jin, while Lin Tianzheng carefully reminded Lu Jin.
"The opponent has a strong constitution and should have already reached the stage of mutual understanding."
Lu Jin remained calm and returned the greeting with a fist salute. Their actions immediately attracted the attention of many martial artists around them, who gathered around and began to discuss the matter animatedly.
"Who is that young man?"
"I don't know."
"That must be Sun Guoli. I heard he's the second strongest disciple at Benlei Martial Arts School. If he weren't over 25, he would probably be a strong contender for the championship in this competition."
"Who says otherwise? If he were to participate, I would have already turned around and left. It's better not to participate in this martial arts competition."
At this moment, Ren Yang looked at the scene before him with excitement. He was a warmonger at heart and loved watching people fight and brawl.
"Big brother, do you think Lu Jin can win?"
"It's hard to say. Although Master Lu is not bad, Junior Brother Guoli has been at the Mind-Intent Harmony stage for several years. Theoretically speaking, Master Lu has no chance of defeating Junior Brother Guoli."
Ren Zhenxing's lips curled up. His master probably wanted to avenge his loss to Lin Tianzheng when he was young, so he specially arranged for Sun Guoli to fight Lu Jin.
This fulfilled his wish.
"Master Lu, you'd better set off to transport corpses as soon as possible," Ren Zhenxing muttered to himself.
If Lu Jin and Lin Tian stay in Anyang County any longer, the cause of his father Ren Bochang's death will likely be exposed.
Ren Zhenxing would never allow it, and there's more...
At that moment, Ren Zhenxing seemed to have thought of something. He gritted his teeth and secretly vowed that he must force Lu Jin to set off to transport the corpse as soon as possible so that his father could be buried as soon as possible.
"Master Lin, your disciple is not bad, but he's still a bit worse than mine." Li Tianlei said with a forced smile as he poured Lin Tianzheng a cup of tea.
"You weren't good enough before, and now your disciples are even worse. Give me your martial arts school disciple certificate."
Lin Tianzheng remained calm and straightforward, silencing Li Tianlei. He immediately picked up his teacup, stirred it with the lid, and just as he took a sip...
Lu Jin suddenly exerted his strength, stomping his leg hard on the ground. A huge force of recoil went straight through his lumbar spine and reached Lu Jin's arm. The fist intent that belonged to Moving Mountains and Suppressing Seas suddenly appeared, making everyone present's scalp tingle!
Sun Guoli's pupils dilated suddenly, and his blood and qi surged violently. Before he could react, Lu Jin, who was originally several meters away, had already attacked him.
"So fast!"
The arm bent like a spear, crashing into Sun Guoli's chest with the force of Mount Tai pressing down!
Head-on!
The combined force of their hearts swept across the scene!
boom!
A deafening explosion rang out, and before anyone could react, the once arrogant Sun Guoli coughed up blood, his body flying several meters backward in a parabolic arc before crashing heavily to the ground.
Click!
The ground immediately split open, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
One-hit kill!
"That's all there is to it, you flatter me!"
After Lu Jin's indifferent voice rang out, the huge martial arts hall fell into a deathly silence in an instant!
