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

"Oh dear, what a coincidence! So you are Master Lu! I was truly blind to your greatness, like a flood washing away the Dragon King's temple!"

"When I first met Master Lu, I was struck by his extraordinary martial prowess. I never imagined he was such a skilled martial artist!"

"It's my fault for not knowing the rules, I'll slap myself!"

After a few seconds of frozen atmosphere, Zhu Yu quickly changed his expression, completely losing his previous arrogance.

He had also heard of Sun Guoli's reputation; he was hailed as one of the best young martial arts masters in Anyang County, but he was defeated by Lu Jin with a single punch.

The difference between the two is enormous.

He himself was not even as good as Sun Guoli. Despite having a gun in his hand, at such close range, Lu Jin might have already broken his Adam's apple before he even had a chance to draw his gun.

Although it would be difficult for Lu Jin to escape even if he killed himself, what if he did? Who knows if Lu Jin would go crazy?

Zhu Yu was a smart man; he didn't want to gamble with his life. Besides, to put it another way, he was just making empty threats.

If Lu Jin is found to be an honest man by going to Benlei Martial Arts School, he will take advantage of his master's power and bully others.

Lu Jin at least prevented Commander Hu from earning several thousand silver dollars, and Lu Jin had to cover that loss.

If they're not someone to be trifled with, then let it go; after all, no one expected something like this to happen.

Upon seeing Lu Jin now, Zhu Yu felt that he was not someone to be trifled with, and that it was better to befriend him than to offend him completely.

Those who can make a name for themselves in this chaotic world are either in high positions of power or have great strength, or they know how to speak to people in a way that suits them.

Zhu Yu's henchman immediately widened his eyes. At first, he was puzzled as to why Zhu Yu had "just teased him." Suddenly, he lowered his posture and became humble, and his arrogant and domineering attitude disappeared.

But when he heard that the person they had just been cursing was right in front of him, he was stunned, and his legs even trembled slightly.

He was genuinely afraid that Lu Jin would punch him away, and it was hard to say whether his superior would offend such a young and powerful martial artist for his sake.

In an instant, he forced a smile and said, "Master Lu, me too."

After saying that, he slapped himself a few times, which made Lu Jin laugh inwardly. Sometimes you really do need to be famous, otherwise who will know you?

"Can I sign up for the competition now?"

"Sure, sure! Mr. Lu, please fill in your date of birth and place of origin. We will review your application later. We are not accepting applications tomorrow because we need to conduct a review and do not allow anyone over 25 years old to participate."

"Why is there an age restriction?"

Lu Jin had doubts about this. Given the personality of warlord Hu Qiang, he should have refrained from imposing any restrictions, which would have allowed Hu Qiang to earn more money.

"Master Lu, I don't know."

At this point, Zhu Yu seemed to remember something and immediately returned the 10 silver dollars that Lu Jin had given her earlier.

"Master Lu, you don't need to pay the registration fee; I'll cover it for you."

"Sure, this receipt cost me 50 yuan, you can issue it for me too."

Zhu Yu was stunned. He mentally cursed, "Now the whole city probably knows that Lu Jin got the certificate by defeating Sun Guoli."

It cost 50 yuan.

However, the look in Lu Jin's eyes sent chills down his spine. He figured he'd just consider it a way to avoid trouble; he had no doubt that Lu Jin would kill him.

Xu Weiguo from the police station was quietly dealt with by a mysterious martial arts master.

"Here you go, Mr. Lu!"

"Take care, Mr. Lu!"

Seeing that Lu Jin had already walked away, Zhu Yu immediately started punching and kicking his subordinates, yelling, "A bunch of good-for-nothings! Who told you to tell him in the first place that you needed a martial arts school certificate to register?!"

"More trouble than they're worth!"

"All the extra rewards you distributed after this competition are confiscated!"

Zhu Yu felt a chill run down his spine at the thought that Commander Hu might be furious because of this; he couldn't afford to offend either side.

His subordinates also felt extremely wronged. They had never even met Lu Jin before, and the thought of their extra reward being confiscated made their hearts bleed.

Commander Hu used this martial arts competition to enrich himself, and as his subordinate, who was in charge of the registration, he naturally received a considerable amount of extra reward money.

But now, it's all vanished.

Holy crap!

Niang Xipi!

Who arranged for Lu Jin to compete against Sun Guoli?

...

Anyang County is not large. If it weren't for the arrival of many martial arts masters from nearby areas and the city being sealed off, the city would never be this lively normally.

The news of Lu Jin defeating Sun Guoli in one move spread like wildfire, quickly becoming known throughout the city. Everyone began to learn about Lu Jin's background and origins, and some martial arts masters who had already registered even clamored to withdraw from the competition.

But the money had already been handed over, and the warlord wouldn't give it back easily. He could withdraw from the competition, but he wouldn't accept a refund of the silver dollars.

"Lu Jin, a Miao villager from Anyang County, is also a corpse driver. That's quite interesting."

Inside a lavishly decorated mansion in Anyang County, a somewhat obese man with a stubble beard, dressed in military uniform, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, exuded an unparalleled bandit aura. He was Hu Qiang, the de facto ruler of Anyang County.

"Commander, this kid has made us a lot of money. What should we do with him? I'll send men to capture him right now and torture him severely!"

"Get out of here! This competition was organized by the commander to promote martial arts and give young martial artists in my jurisdiction a chance to make a name for themselves. Now you've killed a martial artist who gave me face, don't you think I have any face left?!"

Hu Qiang's face darkened, and he looked at his adjutant with displeasure. "Go, spend some money and find those newspaper vendors to spread the word that a martial arts genius from a nearby Miao village will also participate in this competition."

"Then pick a few good soldiers to go up to the arena, make it as lively as possible. Since we made less money from the registration fees, we can recoup it from the ticket sales."

"Commander is wise! My admiration for you is like a surging river, unstoppable." The adjutant gave a thumbs-up, revealing a fawning smile, which pleased Hu Qiang greatly.

However, after he left, a scantily clad, alluring woman came out, holding a scarlet wine glass, and said in a coquettish voice, "Commander, it's time to take your medicine."

Upon hearing this, Hu Qiang pulled the woman into his arms, then took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. "How much medicine do you have left?"

"Not many left, Commander."

"Don't worry, it'll be ready soon. This medicine is truly extraordinary; I'm suddenly feeling quite angry!"

Hu Qiang laughed and immediately began to fight with the woman in his arms, but Lu Jin's information flashed through his mind, and his eyes suddenly shone brightly.

"Newspapers for sale! Newspapers for sale! Lu Jin, the corpse-driver from Miao Village, was defeated in one move by Sun Guoli, a disciple of Benlei Martial Arts School, and will be participating in the Anyang County martial arts competition!"

Inside the hotel, Lu Jin heard the commotion outside. His name had finally become known to everyone. Just now, the hotel owner had personally come over to greet him and even waived his room fee.

As for the Ren family, they even sent their steward to deliver gifts, which were not very valuable, just some clothes, snacks, and a little bit of body-tempering medicine.

It seems that Lu Jin's one-move victory over Sun Guoli today has given them quite a shock.

"Master Lu, my wife asked if you would like to come to the Ren residence for a casual meal if you have time. There are many women of the opposite sex in the Ren residence who are about the same age as you."

"Thank you, but I need to practice martial arts and prepare for the corpse-transporting ceremony, so it's inconvenient for me."

Seeing Lu Jin's polite refusal, the Ren family steward showed a hint of disappointment on his face, but said nothing more and turned to leave.

"Ah Lu, I bought you some high-grade earth-level medicine, Crimson Refining Ointment. This should be able to boost your strength in the near future."

After the Ren family steward left, Lin Tianzheng tossed the Crimson Refining Ointment to Lu Jin, then solemnly asked, "Do you really believe that Ren Zhenxing and Li Tianlei murdered Ren Bochang?"

"I trust my gut feeling, it can't be wrong! There's definitely something wrong with those two."

Lu Jin used intuition as an excuse, but in reality, he had clearly sensed the killing intent of both of them after he left the Benlei Martial Arts School.

It must be the two of them.

"And it's not just them who want to kill me; my master and the others probably won't let us go either."

Lin Tianzheng immediately snorted coldly, "That Li Tianlei is a petty person. He has held a grudge ever since I defeated him. People like him must be killed, otherwise he will never be able to achieve the Transformation Realm."

"I've been waiting for him all these years, but he doesn't have the guts. If he dares this time, I'll take care of him. As for Ren Zhenxing..."

At this point, Lin Tianzheng frowned. Unlike Lu Jin, he was not a martial artist, and it would take him a long time to determine the winner against Li Tianlei, who was also at the Dark Force level.

At that time, he will have no time to care about Lu Jin.

"It's alright, I'll grind Ren Zhenxing to dust!"

Lu Jin's eyes flashed. Kicking him was like kicking a steel plate. No matter what their schemes were, as long as he had the strength, Lu Jin could defeat them with a single punch.

In the following days, Lu Jin's information was approved, and he spent his days practicing martial arts at the hotel, working on his professional skills panel, and visiting Ren Bochang's memorial hall every night, preparing for the upcoming competition with all his might.

Lu Jin would not allow even the slightest mishap to occur!

On the eve of the duel, Lu Jin's hotel was filled with gifts and invitations. Ever since news of his defeat of Sun Guoli spread, many powerful and influential people wanted to invite him to dinner. Some wanted him to be their bodyguard, while others wanted to marry him.

However, Lu Jin ignored such matters.

In chaotic times, danger can strike at any moment; the fewer worries you have, the fewer weaknesses you have.

Inside the hotel, Lu Jin took a deep breath, looking relaxed and content. He hadn't wasted a single second of the nearly two days he had spent there.

Although it was a bit tiring, the results were fruitful!

"This improvement is absolutely tremendous!"

Lu Jin waved his fist, feeling as if he could kill a tiger with one punch. Wu Song was fierce, but his fist might not be any less ferocious now.

As he breathed, his skin turned blood red. With the help of the Crimson Refining Ointment and his terrifying comprehension, he had completed the tempering of his skin by practicing the Primordial Chaos Stance.

It can be said that at this moment, no matter how ordinary sharp weapons cut or slash, they could not harm Lu Jin's flesh and blood, and his defense was greatly enhanced.

Besides this, Lu Jin also discovered that after practicing Tai Chi to the extreme of Ming Jin, his own attributes would also increase greatly.

"It seems that if I master another style of boxing to a certain level, I can also increase my strength. If I break through to a higher level with Tai Chi and synchronize it with Bajiquan, my strength will definitely increase greatly!"

"Even when I have more potential points than I can use, I can practice even more martial arts techniques!"

Lu Jin's face flashed with joy. If he mastered all the martial arts in the world to the extreme, who would be his opponent?

However, Lu Jin put this matter aside for the time being. Learning boxing was easy for him; with his comprehension, he mastered it in no time. But he was already extremely busy with the two styles of Bajiquan and Taijiquan.

If Lu Jin truly wanted to gather the strengths of all schools of thought, he could only rely on his own hard work and sweat to add points; otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to do so through cultivation alone.

"For now, I'll focus on Tai Chi and Bajiquan. That means my need for top-grade elixirs will be enormous!"

Lu Jin couldn't help but gasp. He was practically a money-devouring beast, but he quickly suppressed it.

He now has an even more important task!

"Breaking through the 'Unity of Will and Spirit' barrier, and then using corpse-driving techniques? I want to see what tricks you, Ren Zhenxing, are up to!"

"And that Faceless Yama, I'll show you what true horror stories from western Hunan are all about!"

Thinking of this, Lu Jin's eyes shone brightly. He had to win this competition. That century-old Changbai ginseng was the key to his breakthrough to the Unity of Mind and Qi!

Without this century-old white ginseng, he would have to settle for second best and use a high-grade earth-level medicine to build a solid foundation for his spirit and energy. Lu Jin absolutely would not allow himself to fail to reach his peak at any stage!

"Deep Blue! Heed the call of my heart, add to my power!"

In an instant, a white light flashed, and the experience bar behind Bajiquan changed instantly. Before long, Lu Jin felt his strength surge again!

【Bajiquan: Harmony of Mind and Intention (3000/3000)】
