White-Armored Beast

"I don't know either. He asked us to find some martial arts, and it just so happened that we know your master."

Chen Long shook his head. He hadn't seen Lu Chengchuan's specific file, and even if he had, he couldn't say. Qin Sheng and Li Ming didn't know about the Investigation Bureau, and their master hadn't mentioned it either.

He and Captain Zhou were there as friends; that's all Qin Sheng and the others knew.

Lu Chengchuan and Zhao Chuanshan talked inside for over two hours. Only after Lu Chengchuan said he had memorized the manual did Zhao Chuanshan stop, and the two of them came out.

"What were you two talking about?"

Zhao Chuanshan came out and saw his two disciples pulling Lu Chengchuan aside to chat quietly, so he walked over and asked them directly.

"Master! We were talking about... where to eat later."

Seeing their master and Lu Chengchuan coming over, Qin Sheng quickly steered the conversation elsewhere.

Zhao Chuanshan glanced at his watch. It was indeed lunchtime, so he said, "Same as always, let's go to the Green Vine Restaurant next door. Have them arrange something."

"There's a nice restaurant nearby, I'll take you to try it out."

The group went to the restaurant next to the club. After the meal, they dispersed, and Zhao Chuanshan said to Lu Chengchuan, "If you have any questions, you can come to the martial arts gym to find me."

"I understand," Lu Chengchuan nodded.

Zhao Chuanshan left with his two disciples. Before getting into the car, Qin Sheng and Li Ming glanced at Lu Chengchuan.

"Thank you, Captain Zhou, for your help." After they left, Lu Chengchuan turned to Zhou Yaning to express his gratitude.

Thanks to her efforts, he had obtained a Mystic-Rank Martial Art.

"No need to thank me. You said it yourself, I'd help you find martial arts, and you'd help me. It's a mutual exchange." Zhou Yaning was helping him to help herself.

Judging by what she had just seen, Lu Chengchuan was very strong; even two awakened ability users were no match for him.

"Of course, it's a win-win situation."

Lu Chengchuan knew there was no such thing as a free lunch. People didn't help him out of pure altruism.

After helping him find a good martial art, Zhou Yaning had some things to take care of. She quickly left with her two subordinates, leaving Lu Chengchuan to take a taxi home.

On the way home, traffic suddenly stopped ahead. Lu Chengchuan looked out the window and saw patrolling soldiers running forward.

Since the monsters had appeared, soldiers had been stationed in the city, patrolling day and night.

The driver also saw the soldiers running ahead. He immediately became nervous, afraid that monsters were appearing in front.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Just as they were speculating, gunshots suddenly rang out, followed by the roars of monsters. Hearing the sounds, the driver's face changed drastically. He quickly looked around and found that the road was already blocked. There was no way for him to escape.

The road was completely blocked, and the driver could only wait for the soldiers to deal with the monsters.

But the gunshots and screams continued, and the monsters' roars never ceased. Even more terrifying, monsters suddenly appeared on the road, bizarre creatures attacking.

The monsters were about three meters tall, like enlarged versions of humans, except they had white bone armor on their bodies, and their hands were huge bone claws.

One of the monsters charged towards them. The driver gripped the steering wheel tightly, not knowing where to run.

The car was in the middle of the three lanes, with cars in front, behind, left, and right. Coming from the right, as soon as the monster dealt with the car on the right, they would become the second target.

Just then, Lu Chengchuan suddenly opened the car door.

"Don't get out, what are you doing..."

Bang!

The car door slammed shut. Ignoring the driver's protests, Lu Chengchuan got out of the car. The monster had already overturned the first car, and its sharp bone claws easily tore open the door of the luxury car. The people inside screamed in terror.

Taking advantage of the monster being distracted, Lu Chengchuan rushed up and punched the monster, sending it flying onto the sidewalk. The monster crashed into the green belt, crushing the shrubs and flowers. Lu Chengchuan chased after it, and the monster quickly stood up.

A terrifying monster over three meters tall stood in front of him. Lu Chengchuan was nearly 1.9 meters tall, considered quite tall, but in front of the monster, he was like a child.

The huge bone claws grabbed at him. Lu Chengchuan dodged backward. The monster closed in, and Lu Chengchuan dodged several attacks in a row, seizing the opportunity to punch the monster in the stomach.

He put all his strength into this punch, and with the addition of internal energy, the monster's stomach, unprotected by bone armor, was directly blown open. Foul-smelling flesh and blood splattered out.

The monster flew backward again. Flicking the blood off his fist, the injured monster struggled to stand up. Lu Chengchuan chased after it and kicked it heavily in the knee.

The bone armor on the knee shattered, and the monster knelt on one knee, then was punched to the ground.

As the monster lay on the ground, Lu Chengchuan clenched his fist and slammed it down on its head.

Its head was protected by bone armor, and Lu Chengchuan used all his strength, hammering it four or five times. Large pieces of bone armor fell off, and the monster's fragile brain was exposed to the air.

Lu Chengchuan punched down on the red and white matter, and the fragile head exploded. The monster flailed its claws weakly and then slumped down, completely dead.

[Killed White-Armored Beast, gained 25 days of life.]

Soon, the System's voice sounded. The monster was stronger than a low-level zombie, and killing it granted more life. Confirming that the monster was dead, Lu Chengchuan stood up to find the next monster.

Just then, nearby soldiers arrived to provide support. The remaining monsters were surrounded by the soldiers, who shot them to death.

Each monster had hundreds of bullet holes in its body; they were worn down by the bullets. After killing the bone-armored monsters, the soldiers went to provide support at the front. A few minutes later, several explosions rang out, and the monster blocking the front roared in anger. This monster seemed unusual; it hadn't died even after being attacked for so long.

"Young man, young man! Can you help us!"

Just as Lu Chengchuan was about to walk forward, a middle-aged man came out of the overturned luxury car. Seeing Lu Chengchuan kill the monster with his bare hands, he was shocked and quickly called out to him.

Lu Chengchuan stopped and turned to look at the man.

"My family's in the car, young man, please help me save them!" The man pointed at the overturned luxury car, his face etched with anxiety.

Lu Chengchuan walked over, and a hint of joy appeared on the man's face.

"The car door won't open, young man, can you..."

Before the man could finish speaking, Lu Chengchuan stepped forward and simply ripped the car door off. The man hadn't expected such violence; he was stunned that someone could tear off a car door with one hand until the door slammed to the side.

With the car door wide open, the two people in the back seat were still in shock, not daring to get out even with the door open.

"Axiu, Xiaoqing, come out quickly!" The man quickly urged his wife and daughter to get out of the car.

The two women saw him outside and quickly scrambled out of the car.

As the two women climbed out of the car in a disheveled state, Lu Chengchuan was about to go to the front to see what was happening, but the man ran up again, "Young man, young man, what's your name?"

Gu Mingwei was afraid that more monsters would come, so he quickly stopped him.

He had personally witnessed this man kill a terrifying monster with his bare hands; with him around, Gu Mingwei felt a little more at ease.

Lu Chengchuan turned his head impatiently, wondering what this guy wanted.
