All Martial Arts Under Heaven, None That Cannot Be Broken, Only Speed Cannot Be Broken, Great Strength
The meal was on him, but Butler Li paid for it.
In the end, it was still on him.
Anyone who has been in this situation knows that when someone really wants to befriend you, you treat them to a meal. After a few rounds of drinks, you're having a great time. Even though you're treating them, they very thoughtfully slip away to the restroom and pay the bill.
When you complain about them secretly paying, they'll generously say, "It's just a small matter, don't worry about it." And you'll reply, "Next time, you must let me pay."
That's exactly what Butler Li did now, and Lin Fan was the one who said, "Next time, you must let me pay."
For Lin Fan, this meal was nothing more than, "Brothers, we got a freebie again!"
But for Butler Li, it was incredibly significant. It meant his relationship with Lin Fan had taken another step forward, proving to the Old Master that his efforts were yielding results.
What do you call a win-win?
This is a win-win.
Full and satisfied, the main group returned to the dock warehouse. The underlings went back to their posts to continue working. For them, life during this period was something they could never have dreamed of before.
One day.
In the warehouse, several underlings stared intently at an empty space, watching Lin Fan wield his staff. Their mouths hung open as they watched, mesmerized. In their eyes, Brother Lin was surrounded by an impenetrable wall of staff.
The wind from the staff whistled, and the air exploded wherever it passed.
They had never imagined someone could wield a staff to such an extent.
They felt that if they took a solid hit, their entire bodies would probably fall apart.
At this moment, Lin Fan was completely immersed in the staff techniques. Everything around him seemed to vanish. Suddenly, his eyes sharpened, and the long staff in his hand thrust towards the hanging sandbag like a dragon emerging from the sea, ferocious and powerful.
Poof!
The sandbag exploded, and the sand and stones inside scattered like a shower of flowers from a celestial maiden, covering the ground.
"Wow..."
The underlings' eyes widened, and they exclaimed in amazement, utterly awestruck. Was this the dominance of their Brother Lin?
[Basic Staff Technique Proficiency +1]
[Basic Staff Technique (Mastered)]
[Basic Staff Technique Mastered, choose one staff technique to continue]
[Strength Type: Thousand Jin Staff Technique]
[Speed Type: Gale Staff Technique]
[Skill Type: Four Directions Staff Technique]
The changes in the panel caught his attention.
With Basic Staff Technique mastered, he had expected it to simply become Intermediate Staff Technique. He never imagined such a significant change would occur, leading to this.
Strength type? Speed type? Skill type?
Couldn't he have them all?
Faced with a choice, a saying came to mind: "All martial arts are invincible, but speed is paramount."
Therefore, he chose the strength type, Thousand Jin Staff Technique.
Because there was another part to that saying that was hidden.
It was that great strength creates miracles.
Strength is the real deal. No matter how fast you are, or how fancy your techniques are, one strike from me will bring down the heavens and earth, sending you running for cover.
He never hesitated when it came to making choices. Once he decided, even nine horses couldn't pull him back.
[Thousand Jin Staff Technique (Untrained 1/1000)]
At this moment, Lin Fan felt a warm current flowing within him. Simultaneously, a vast amount of knowledge flooded his mind – a sea of knowledge... no, a sea of staff techniques.
He could clearly feel his physical body strengthening, his strength greatly enhanced.
His muscles trembled slightly.
This was an internal improvement.
In the eyes of the surrounding underlings, they noticed that Brother Lin's demeanor had changed. His current aura was like that of a fierce and savage beast, intimidating them greatly.
Lin Fan let out a roar, leaped into the air, gripped his staff with one hand, his arm tensing, his gaze sharp. As if splitting the heavens and earth, he slammed the staff down onto the ground.
Bang.
The ground cracked, forming a deep pit, and the wooden staff in his hand broke into several pieces.
"Hahaha..."
Lin Fan laughed, his mood incredibly elated. If he had previously experienced the thrill of possessing strength, then now he was experiencing an ecstasy that surpassed all limits.
"Congratulations, Brother Lin! Congratulations, Brother Lin! Your martial arts have reached great mastery!"
The underlings cheered.
Lin Fan chuckled, "You guys know about martial arts?"
"No."
"Then why are you saying that?"
"Uh..."
They often heard Brother Lin talk about martial arts. Although they didn't understand it well, at this moment, to flatter Brother Lin, saying he had achieved great mastery in martial arts was perfectly fine.
Check panel.
[Realm: None] [Thousand Jin Staff Technique (Uninitiated 1/1000)] [Beginner Body Refinement (Minor Accomplishment 432/500)]
His realm still hadn't changed.
But he wasn't in a hurry at all. At least the current situation was very advantageous for him. The people he encountered were as weak as chickens, easily subdued.
He didn't understand what his current situation belonged to.
The staff techniques and such were irrelevant.
The key was the improvement the staff techniques brought to his body, powerful strength, a strong physique.
Where had all those masters who knew martial arts gone?
Even if they didn't cross paths.
At least let me see them, give me some peace of mind.
"Brother Lin, ordinary wooden sticks aren't enough for you. I think it's very necessary to forge a custom stick. I know an old master blacksmith who's very skilled. Do you want me to go ask him?" Wu Yong looked at the shattered wooden stick. With the strength Brother Lin erupted with, an ordinary wooden stick couldn't hold up.
It had to be something sturdy.
Wu Yong was right. Lin Fan nodded, "Good, I'll leave this matter to you. Tell me how much it costs."
"No problem. Then Brother Lin, are there any special requirements?"
"Hmm... Use the best materials. The two ends need to be threaded, and it should be as heavy as possible."
"Understood."
Wu Yong nodded repeatedly. As Brother Lin's most loyal subordinate, he knew that a subordinate who could solve problems for Brother Lin was a good subordinate.
Qian Tao, among the crowd, also wanted to actively do things for Brother Lin, but opportunities often vanished in an instant. The main reason was that Wu Yong was too fast.
He secretly vowed that he would be faster next time.
Recalling these past few days, the gazes he felt at home.
They were looks of approval and comfort.
His second uncle praised him to everyone, saying he had a bright future. The neighbors all knew that the Qian family's son was doing well in Loyalty Hall, becoming a confidant of the Jili Pier leader.
Perhaps the leader wasn't much, but in the eyes of the common people, he was as unimaginable as an official.
At this moment, at the warehouse entrance, a figure stood in the sunlight.
"Brother."
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Fan looked towards the entrance. When he clearly saw who it was, he immediately stepped forward to greet her, "Sister, why are you here?"
When he reached the entrance, he realized the Hall Master had also come. The Hall Master stood with his hands behind his back, having just finished inspecting the pier. He was quite satisfied with how Lin Fan managed the pier in an orderly fashion.
He truly lived up to being his recognized confidant.
He handled matters steadily.
"Hall Master." Lin Fan said respectfully.
"Mm." Wang Changhai nodded and hummed, fully displaying the demeanor of a Hall Master.
Madam Wang frowned displeasantly, "What are you doing? Showing off your Hall Master's stern face in front of my brother. Brother, don't pay attention to him. Sister came specifically to find you this time."
Wang Changhai sighed, My wife, I'm the Hall Master. Shouldn't the Hall Master appear serious when outside?
"Sister, what is it? You could have just sent someone to notify me. Why did you have to come in person?" Lin Fan said with a smile, his expression towards his sister completely different from his expression towards the Hall Master.
For some reason, Wang Changhai felt a sense of distance.
Madam Wang took Lin Fan's hand, "Come, let's go. Sister will take you somewhere."
"Whoa, whoa, Sister, slow down. No rush, your little brother is following."
Lin Fan genuinely approved of this sister.
The sincerity between people.
He could feel it.
He was also willing to sincerely get along with this adopted sister.
Quack quack quack...
Wang Changhai stood stunned at the warehouse entrance, watching the two figures gradually disappear into the distance.
Wait... you're just leaving me behind?
Not even a word as you go?
"Good day, Hall Master," a low-level subordinate said respectfully.
"What are you doing? If you have nothing to do, go work. This endless... "
Wang Changhai turned and chased after his wife.
Honey, wait for me.
And my confidant, you can't forget who promoted you.
I'm your Hall Master!
