Longevity starts with eating monsters

Chapter 9 Martial Arts School
After leaving the Prison Department and walking onto the street, Lu Chen took a deep breath and felt his mind refreshed. He didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

It feels so quiet and there are no monsters on the streets. It's quite different from outside the city.

"Brother Lu, are you in a good mood?" Lin Yunying asked.

"Of course."

Lu Chen smiled slightly. From Jingyang Mountain to Xiayuan County, his efforts along the way were not in vain. In the future, as long as he did not stop, the road would continue to extend.
".correct."

Standing still, Lu Chen suddenly said, "Don't worry about the house. I'll take you to find a martial arts gym to practice martial arts. You have to work harder too."

"I understand!"

At this point, Lin Yunying also rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair and delicate arms, and nodded heavily: "I will definitely work hard to practice martial arts, and I will definitely not hold you back, Brother Lu!"

"Ambitious."

Lu Chen nodded, then stretched out his hand to stop a young man passing by and said with a smile: "Excuse me, is there a martial arts school in the city?"

As soon as these words came out, the young man's expression suddenly became alert: "Outsider?"

".Local." Lu Chen lifted up his shirt, revealing the identity badge hanging around his waist.

As expected, after seeing the talisman, the young man's expression quickly relaxed: "Newly registered? If it's Wuguan Street, it's in the east of the city."

The young man pointed the way and introduced enthusiastically, "Speaking of the martial arts schools in our county, the most famous one has to be the Mirage Martial Arts School. It is said that the master in charge is a martial arts master, and he is a pious person. He contributes the most to the grand festival every month."

Seeing that the young man mentioned the grand sacrifice again, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel curious.

"Aren't the prison officials and the imperial court the ones who protect Xiayuan County? What's so magical about this City God Temple that allows you to worship it so frequently?"

".Nothing."

The young man paused for a moment, then continued, "It's mainly because the master of the City God Temple is kind-hearted and willing to open a butcher shop and a porridge factory in the city to help us."

"We must remember this kindness."

"Otherwise, how could our Xiayuan County be so peaceful when Jiangzhou is suffering from a severe drought and no crops are harvested? It's all thanks to the City God Temple."

"I see."

Lu Chen nodded and gave the young man another copper coin as a toll. The young man had an unexpected windfall and left happily.

Looking at his departing figure, Lu Chen's expression gradually became solemn: "In that case, Xiayuan County is really a blessed place. Not only is there no demons around, but it also has a large amount of food stored, and even has enough to help the refugees who have fled here."

".Is this reasonable?"

The severe drought in Jiangzhou came extremely suddenly, leaving millions of people homeless, but a small remote county town was unscathed and was able to stay out of the incident.

Something is wrong!
Having said that, Lu Chen couldn't find anything strange for a moment, so he could only be a little vigilant and took Lin Yunying to the direction of Wuguan Street.

Martial Arts Street in the east of the city.

Just as the young man said, this place was indeed crowded with people. There were martial arts schools on both sides of the street, and there were many apprentices in front of every door.

A considerable number of them were disaster victims from outside the city.

These martial arts schools seem to recruit disciples outside the city on a regular basis. As long as you can pass the school's assessment, you can become a direct disciple and never have to worry about food and drink.

Therefore, anyone with some strength would choose to give it a try, but looking at the pale and thin young men who walked out of the martial arts hall with a dejected look, you can tell that the pass rate is not high. However, even if you fail the test, the martial arts hall will send you a bag of rice, which can be regarded as a consolation prize.

We have done our utmost to be kind and just, and there is nothing to be criticized.

Lu Chen held the little girl's hand and walked through the crowd, finally stopping in front of a largest and most imposing courtyard at the deepest part of Wuguan Street.

【Mirage Martial Arts School】

Among all the martial arts schools, this one had the most people waiting in front of the door. Almost a long queue was formed, and every one of them was a young and strong man.

"Those who wish to join the martial arts school must first come to the training grounds to take the test."

At the entrance of the martial arts hall, a man in a blue jacket was directing the crowd, leading the long dragon of people into a small door next to it.

The small red lacquered door looked like a bloody mouth, waiting for everyone to walk in. "Brother Lu?"

For some reason, Lin Yunying swallowed nervously. She wanted to hold Lu Chen's hand, but was worried that it would affect his movements, so she had to move closer to him.

"rest assured."

Lu Chen noticed the little girl's mood change, reached out and patted her head, his eyes gradually became deep: "Stand next to me later."

Soon it was their turn.

Pass through the small vermilion lacquered gate and enter the parade ground.

"Boom!"

At this moment, Lu Chen only felt a loud noise in his ears, and then all his energy and spirit seemed to be sucked out of his body.

The next second, Lu Chen let out a muffled groan from his nose.

Thirty-six mountain-suppressing punches, with the power to collapse the mountain!
The rolling sound waves, with the majestic artistic conception of collapsing mountains and splitting hills, directly enveloped the entire training ground and the mysterious force that sucked his energy and spirit away.

At the same time, a divine light flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.

Among the six Yin elements of Yin Fu, tendons, bones, qi, blood, marrow, and mind, "mind" is the most mysterious, involving the warrior's mysterious ability to sense things.

The Thirty-Six Moves of the Mountain-Suppressing Fist is a set of martial arts for cultivating "intention". With the blessing of the great success realm, Lu Chen's boxing intention has long become extremely sharp, and he can accurately perceive things that ordinary people can hardly find.

For example, at this moment, there was an invisible thread falling on the bodies of all the disciples present, but no one noticed it.

The source of the strange power that tears apart the spirit, energy and soul is these invisible threads.

After these silk threads extracted people's energy, spirit, and vitality, 80% of it sank deep into the martial arts hall, and the remaining 20% ​​gathered on just a few people.

Lu Chen looked around and saw those people who were gathered together with all their energy and spirit. As expected, they were all disciples of the martial arts school.

"."

Lu Chen's expression turned completely gloomy.

He now understood why the martial arts school kept recruiting disciples from the disaster victims outside the city.

It seems that the disaster victims are given a one in a thousand hope, but in fact, all the disaster victims are just consumables for the real disciples of the martial arts school to practice.

The so-called entrance examination is actually to extract the energy of everyone and then supply it to a few people.

The result was that few people could pass the assessment, and after all the victims' energy and spirit were eaten up, the only reward they had was a bag of rice before they left.

As long as the mastermind behind the scenes occasionally selects a few lucky people from the disaster victims and shows that the assessment is not completely impossible to pass, the process can continue and no one will suspect anything.

Although the unsuccessful people will gradually weaken and die due to the depletion of their energy and spirit, it is normal for the disaster victims to die a few people every day.

"demon!"

After realizing this, Lu Chen's eyes suddenly flashed with fierce murderous intent.

Almost at the same time, a light exclamation was heard from deep within the martial arts hall.

"Why would a distinguished guest come through this small door?"

As the question was raised, a steady and powerful sound of footsteps was heard from deep inside the martial arts hall, and then a figure came into everyone's sight.

But after seeing the person coming, Lu Chen's face showed surprise for the first time.

"you"

The man had regular features and broad shoulders. He looked very graceful with one hand carrying the objects on his back, while the other hand was playing with two heavy iron gallbladders.

This is a person!

Obviously, this martial arts school is even better than a tiger in eating people. It's just that a tiger swallows its food whole, while this martial arts school chews it slowly.

But its owner is not a demon, but a human! ?
