I practice martial arts by adding skill points in modern city-Chapter 61 - 057: ’Typhoon’ Approaching

"You’ve never mingled in the circle of martial artists before, so you don’t know how some martial artists can be insanely reckless behind the scenes, committing crimes with martial arts, and this is why the state has completely suppressed civilian martial arts since the 2000s.

On the surface, Dong County seems peaceful, but behind the scenes it’s very complicated. For ordinary people, there’s no impact, but for martial artists, things aren’t as safe as you think.

In the past, you were just starting in martial arts and weren’t a threat to those martial artists, but now you’ve become a Ming Jin master, and I’m worried that some of them might come to trouble you because of the Marrow Cleansing Scripture.

Even as a Ming Jin master, you’re only good at fighting, but you can’t withstand an ambush, a sneak attack, so that’s why I’m advising you to leave Dong County," the big monk said.

Wang Longhu was somewhat skeptical, "You mean the martial artists hiding in Dong County dare to provoke me?"

"It’s not a matter of daring or not, Wang Longhu, this is a qualitative change. The Marrow Cleansing Scripture represents a qualitative change in the human body. Although no one has reportedly mastered it for hundreds of years,

it still doesn’t stop martial artists from valuing this inner power. Do you know what a qualitative change in the human body means? Surpassing the human physical limit; no one knows what it might evolve into.

It could even possibly become the original source of martial arts, the path pursued by Qi Refining practitioners of the Qin and Han Alchemy aiming to become immortal. Martial arts were just a branch simplified from Qi Refining Skill by some people at that time who couldn’t find the way to immortality."

Wang Longhu chuckled, not fully understanding, "Becoming immortal through martial arts, huh? I’ve read novels and know about this, but it’s too far-fetched. If one Marrow Cleansing Scripture could make someone immortal, would the state allow this thing to wander outside?

Decades ago, the Japanese could wreak havoc on our land? The Americans could still strut arrogantly on this planet for years? I think it’s all just empty talk."

"Regardless of the truth, that group has long been obsessed over the years. You can’t predict the actions of a madman. If you don’t plan to leave, remember to be more cautious and watchful daily."

"Okay, I got it."

Facing the big monk’s reminder, Wang Longhu still kept it in mind.

As the saying goes, ’Do not have the heart to harm others, but be wary of others harming you.’ From when the old monk and that man without eyebrows started attacking him on the slightest disagreement, Wang Longhu could somewhat feel the decisiveness and ruthlessness of these martial artists.

If he were slightly weaker, he would’ve already been severely injured by those two in the morning.

"By the way, are you interested in joining the Martial Arts Association in Wen City? With your strength, I could recommend you, joining would be easy, and you could meet more martial artists, spar, and improve quickly."

"Uh, let’s forget about it. I practice martial arts just to strengthen my body, not to fight others. Besides, I’m a bit socially anxious, quite reclusive usually, so joining an organization isn’t for me."

Facing Wang Longhu’s refusal, the big monk didn’t mind. Currently, the Martial Arts Association is mostly old hands or enthusiasts in their thirties or forties. It’s quite normal for a young Ming Jin master like Wang Longhu not to want to join.

After gathering all the stray dogs, the big monk prepared to leave with them.

Wang Longhu quickly brought two bags of dog food from the house and handed them over: "Master, actually for feeding dogs, using this is better than leftovers. Dog food has nutrients beneficial to dogs, doesn’t dirty the environment, fills them up, and is cost-effective. You can try it."

"Dog food, huh? I’ve heard people talk about it before, thanks." The big monk nodded, took the two bags of dog food, and left with a large group of stray dogs.

Watching the departure of this man and the dogs, Wang Longhu felt inexplicably reluctant.

The mountain is already boring, no villages in front or stores behind, not even a ghost, previously the stray dogs barking occasionally added a little life, now with the dogs gone, it’ll definitely be even quieter.

Putting away these thoughts, Wang Longhu returned the weighted equipment to the martial arts room, locked the door, and headed straight for the back mountain.

He spent almost the entire day accompanying Zheng Dongliang and his group of rich kids having fun, without practicing martial arts. Although he earned twenty thousand in the end, which was a handsome income, he missed out on martial arts practice time. Wang Longhu wanted to make up for that time.

Since returning to Dong County, Wang Longhu has rarely scrolled Douyin or surfed Bilibili. Without the need to work, he’s invested at least 12 hours in martial arts training daily.

Such pure, high-intensity exercise didn’t make Wang Longhu feel life was dull. Instead, it made him feel incredibly fulfilled.

The progress of seeing oneself become stronger little by little is truly enthralling, deeply captivating, and endlessly fascinating.

[Name: Wang Longhu]

[Strength: 1.31 (+)]

[Constitution: 2.00 (Limit)]

[Spirit: 0.96 (+)]

[Skills: Basic Fitness Lv3 (70/300), Three-Body Pose Lv3 (160/300), Xingyi Boxing Lv3 (10/300), Lightweight Skill Lv3 (10/300)]

[Potential Points: 0.12]

Although he hadn’t trained for a day, following Zheng Dongliang in indulgence brought substantial gains: a seafood feast for lunch and an equally lavish dinner provided Wang Longhu with 0.12 potential points.

Adding all these potential points to his strength, Wang Longhu’s strength instantly increased to 1.43.

This way, when he wielded Ming Jin, his strength would be even greater. In a real confrontation, ordinary martial artists couldn’t withstand a punch from Wang Longhu.

Arriving at the reservoir, as usual, he took off his clothes, hung them on a branch, submerged into the reservoir, and began the monotonous and tedious training.

...

Boom!

Thunder roared, dark clouds gathered in the gloomy sky, and soon poured down heavy rain.

The downpour was immense, like a reservoir flood discharge, raindrops dense as a beaded curtain, pounding on every household’s windows with resounding thuds.

It clearly signaled the foreboding signs of dark clouds pressing down the city, threatening collapse.

Regarding Typhoon ’Coral’ making landfall, the government had actually issued a notice long ago, and according to the Meteorological Bureau’s forecast, this typhoon would reach level 7.8, with extremely severe wind forces.

Every household had already made preparations for the impending typhoon.

Like sandbags at the doors, tape sealing window crevices, preparing several days’ worth of grain, these are instincts ingrained in the bones of coastal residents living in places like Dong County to combat typhoons.

Late night.

On the cross-sea dike leading to Dong County, four or five-meter-high waves constantly flushed ashore, striking indiscriminately every vehicle passing through.

Braving fierce winds and rain, a Mercedes-Maybach S680 sped through the rain, cutting through the storm; the two high-beam headlights were the only source of light on the sea in the dark night.

As Typhoon Coral approached, the dam would be completely sealed off within a few days, blocking all access to the island, preventing any vehicle entries or exits to avoid incidents of vehicles being swept into the sea by waves.

In the back seat of the car,

a youth in a black suit, wearing black-framed glasses, with slicked-back hair, held an ancient-looking box, gazing deeply at the storm outside the window, deep in thought.

"We can’t delay any longer; the old master’s time is running short. We must quickly obtain and return the item, and the Buddha statue from that old monk, he must hand it over this time."

Beside the young man, a middle-aged burly man hearing these words suddenly opened his previously closed eyes, revealing a vicious look like a wolf, grinning silently.

"I’ve long wanted to see if Dharma’s Marrow Cleansing Scripture is as powerful as the rumors say."
