Reputation Spreads Far and Wide!

Chapter 10: Spreading Good Reputation!

Deep within Wu Ji Porcelain Shop.

Inside the room.

Lu Chen's eyes flickered, and he quickly obtained two martial arts manuals from Zhao Yuesheng.

[You have learned Black Tiger Fist, Black Tiger Fist - Beginner!]

[You have learned Gale Blade Technique, Gale Blade Technique - Beginner!]

"Very good, this panel is truly powerful. Even just hearing someone describe it once, it automatically recorded it. This is simply too monstrous. Merit Points, add points to these two martial arts."

Lu Chen thought to himself.

Whoosh!

The panel before him blurred, and countless pieces of information surged, as if he had experienced over ten or twenty years again. His mind was filled with images of practicing fists and blades.

In the blink of an eye, these images all vanished.

Instantly, Lu Chen felt his Internal Energy become thicker and stronger. Even his palms and arms were filled with power, his skin became tougher, and his muscles more resilient.

It was as if he had been practicing fists and blades for over a decade.

Name: Lu Chen

Cultivation: Rank 2 (4%)

Cultivation Method: None

Martial Arts: Galloping Horse Fist (Mastered), Crimson Sand Palm (Mastered), Black Tiger Fist (Mastered), Gale Blade Technique (Mastered)

Talent: Convince with Virtue

Merit Points: 40

"I've reached Rank 2? This is too fast?" Lu Chen rejoiced.

This morning, he was still a powerless individual, bullied by his brother and sister-in-law, exploited by a black-hearted merchant, and could only close his eyes and wait for death.

But by the afternoon, he had already become a Rank 2 Martial Artist.

This change in status was incredibly exhilarating.

The only regret was that he still hadn't obtained an Internal Energy Cultivation Method.

"Young Master Zhao, don't you like Wu Tianli's daughter very much? As the saying goes, a gentleman helps others achieve their desires. I will now send you to reunite with her and make you a divine couple."

Lu Chen smiled and threw a punch towards Zhao Yuesheng's forehead.

"No..."

Bang!

A mist of blood splattered. Zhao Yuesheng's eyes widened, dying with them unclosed. [You have fulfilled a pair of ill-fated lovers, allowing them to reunite in the afterlife. Merit Points +5]

Another line of text appeared.

Lu Chen moved swiftly, immediately searching Zhao Yuesheng's body. He found a few silver notes, then turned and left, quickly scaling the wall.

Not long after he left.

A large number of constables and members of the Giant Shark Gang arrived like a tide, surrounding the porcelain shop.

"Quick, quick, surround this place!"

"We can't let him escape!"

"Not even a fly will get away!"

Crash!

Wu Ji Porcelain Shop was forcefully broken into, surrounded tightly inside and out.

"Where is that madman?" Guo Feng grabbed a trembling apprentice, his face grim, and demanded.

"Madman?"

The apprentice's face was pale, and he seemed somewhat stunned, unsure how to respond.

"The one who committed the violence just now!"

Chen Baisha shouted angrily.

"You mean Lu Chen? Lu Chen has gone mad, Lu Chen killed the shopkeeper..."

The apprentice said fearfully and incoherently, "This morning Lu Chen was beaten half to death by the shopkeeper and could only crawl out. But he returned this afternoon and had already become a martial artist. He's possessed by a demon, a demon!"

Slap!

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Feng slapped him, causing the apprentice to spit blood and cry out, several teeth flying out. "Nonsense, you deserve to be beaten!"

Guo Feng roared.

But even so, he couldn't help but show surprise in his heart, a hint of greed appearing.

Not just him.

Even Chen Baisha, the leader of the Giant Shark Gang on the side, had his pupils contract, his mind churning.

He wasn't a Martial Artist in the morning, but became one in the afternoon?

There must be a secret!

And a top-secret one at that!

How could it be so easy to become a Martial Artist?

Without three to four years, or even seven to eight years of hard training, you want to become a Martial Artist? Dream on!

Lu Chen completed this step in just one afternoon!

What kind of earth-shattering secret was this? "Search quickly!"

Guo Feng suddenly roared, leading the charge.

Chen Baisha also led a large number of Giant Shark Gang members, quickly rushing towards the backyard, preparing to capture Lu Chen first.

However, when they reached the backyard, apart from a mess and corpses all over the ground, there was no trace of Lu Chen anywhere.

Soon, they were shocked and discovered the tragically dead Zhao Yuesheng in a room.

"Heh, Zhao Hu curses others to die childless every day. Now look, his own son was killed first."

Chen Baisha chuckled, staring at the corpse.

"Yuesheng... is my son Yuesheng here? Yuesheng..."

Just then, Zhao Hu's frantic voice came from outside, rushing over.

Seeing Zhao Hu approaching, Chen Baisha's smile widened. "Zhao Hu, I told you before that your Zhao family might end up without an heir. Now it seems that's indeed the case. Look."

He pointed directly at Zhao Yuesheng's corpse, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Zhao Hu's eyes widened, and he immediately roared, "Yuesheng!"

His aura erupted, and he pounced forward, startling many people who quickly retreated.

All of Panshi City was in an uproar.

Everyone was in shock.

In less than half a day, news from the Beggar's Den and Wu Ji Porcelain Shop had spread throughout the city.

"It's so satisfying! Wu the Skinflint was actually killed? Which great deity took revenge for me!"

"Heh, I said it long ago, Wu the Skinflint's way of doing business would eventually get him killed. Who is it? Which brave warrior dared to kill Wu the Skinflint!"

"They say it was done by a young apprentice named Lu Chen. He worked for Wu the Skinflint for three years. Wu the Skinflint not only didn't pay him a cent, but beat him half to death because he broke a piece of porcelain. He could only crawl back..."

"What? It was that kid? I saw him half-dead and covered in blood this morning, and this afternoon he could kill Wu the Skinflint? Wu the Skinflint had several thugs working for him!"

"According to the yamen, Lu Chen was possessed by a demon, and they say that demon likes to eat people. The yamen is now hunting him throughout the city, asking us to report him immediately if we see him..."

Many people began to discuss.

Undoubtedly.

Lu Chen's name spread throughout Panshi City for the first time.

Countless peddlers and hawkers were talking about it.

But unexpectedly, not many people felt fear towards Lu Chen.

Instead, because Lu Chen had killed Wu the Skinflint and taken down the Beggar's Den, many people applauded.

Both Wu the Skinflint and those beggars had caused countless people to suffer greatly at their hands.

Especially those beggars.

On the surface, they were begging, but in reality, they were no different from a criminal gang.

Who knew how many innocent families they had harmed.

Even though some people had reported them to the authorities, it all ended in nothing. Instead, they were severely retaliated against by the remaining beggars, which made people even more unwilling to provoke them.

Now, it was good.

The two tumors in the city had been removed by Lu Chen alone.

Although there were still many other tumors in the city, the fact that two had been removed at once still made people happy...

Outside the city.

Zhao Shan, who had been waiting anxiously for Lu Chen, felt his heart tighten when he saw the city gates closed. A sense of unease inexplicably arose within him.

"Could something have happened? Gods, please protect Lu Ge. If Lu Ge is in trouble, I don't want to live either. I'm willing to exchange my lowly life for Lu Ge's safety. Amitabha, Buddha bless, Buddha bless..."

He prayed in his heart.

But the more he prayed, the more uneasy he became.

If he could, he really wanted to climb over the wall and see.

But now, with his crippled legs and blindness, let alone climbing the wall, even moving around was extremely difficult.
