Chapter 624: 624
Lu Sheng touched the wound on his hand . He felt slight pain from the burn .
He took a look at his palm . Much of it was slightly charred now .
He looked in the direction from where the voice came . The current him did not have the ability to give chase unless the other person was willing to show up and fight it out with him .
‘I should head back . The time has not yet come…’
In the end, he spread his spirit out and probed his surroundings . Lu Sheng made sure that no one would appear again before he hurried toward his house .
“Click . ”
His room’s door opened . When Lu Sheng went in, he saw that Du Xia planted herself right in front of the door . Her eyes were glued to her phone . She was neither going in or going out .
She seemed to have known that he would open the door . Hence, she waited here for him .
“Brother, it’s not too safe outside these days . You should be careful and not take isolated shortcuts . ” Du Xia suddenly looked up and advised Lu Sheng .
“Mm-hm . I know . ” Lu Sheng nodded . “Where’s Mum and Dad?”
“Mum is making dinner . Dad… is still at the crematorium…” Du Xia’s voice softened .
“Alright…” Lu Sheng ruffled Du Xia’s hair . “Don’t just stand here . Go and have some rest . ”
“…Mm-hm . ” Du Xia nodded . “By the way, Brother, did you encounter anything when you were on your way back?”
“No, I didn’t . What’s the matter?” Lu Sheng appeared lost . “Why do you ask?”
Du Xia lowered her head and softly explained, “It’s nothing… I’ve been listening to the news lately, it seems that our neighborhood isn’t too safe recently…”
A strange look flashed across her eyes .
“It’s alright . Don’t worry . Your brother is a professional . ” Lu Sheng flexed his biceps .
“Come and help serve dinner!” Li Can called out to the siblings from the kitchen .
“Coming . ”
“Okay . ”
Lu Sheng and Du Xia hastily went over to help .
They said nothing for the entire night . The next day, Lu Sheng’s hand wound was almost healed . He prepared to rank up again .
Coincidentally, it was the weekend . He would have time to take part in the underground professional boxing competition and actually face this world’s elites .
Lu Sheng hurried over with anticipation in his heart . Along the way, he raised his Mixed Martial Art by several ranks until it was at rank-18 .
His strength increased by 600 kilograms again . Correspondingly, his Inner Chain Qi was more obvious now . The dark green mark on his shoulder grew more obvious as well .
“Bam!”
Lu Sheng raised an arm to block his opponent’s punch . He moved his other hand with a movement as swift as a flicker and landed it softly on his opponent’s abdomen .
“Bam!”
The chest and abdominal muscles of his opponent rippled as if huge waves were undulating underneath his skin and they were compressed until they spread out in all directions . His opponent spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and reeled for more than two meters in the air before landing on the ground and never standing up again .
“Uohh!”
The underground stadium erupted in excited cheers .
Lu Sheng’s right arm was lifted high by the coach . With a fierce black ghost mask over his face, his expression was indiscernible .
“The winner, Silmann!” Even the coach’s loud voice could not overcome the audience’s excited cheers .
Contrary to what the others were feeling, Lu Sheng did not feel an ounce of joy .
‘They’re too weak . There isn’t even a single person who can make me feel like I want to be serious…’
The flashes of lights and the roar of cheers were starting to irritate him .
After they went backstage, the leader of the mixed combat boxing gym who brought him here was shaking all over . When he saw Lu Sheng getting down from the stage, he immediately went forward and struck up a conversation with him . He gave Lu Sheng a report of the revenue and popularity they received after joining the competition lately .
“Is there anyone more powerful?” Lu Sheng interrupted him .
The gym leader, Nick, had switched his profession to become Lu Sheng’s manager . When he heard this, he was stunned .
“All you have to do is beat up some amateurs and we can earn money! Isn’t this good enough? Is there really a need to take a risk and challenge more powerful opponents?”
With Lu Sheng’s experience of competitions, he could easily challenge a professional boxing king already . He won 13 matches in a row, and every round ended with just a single punch from him . Nick did not doubt Lu Sheng’s strength, but the professional boxing kings were no weaklings . What if he faced a powerful opponent and ended up injured or crippled?
“My objective in taking part in this competition is to challenge more powerful individuals . Fighting these weak chickens is a waste of my time . Do you understand?” Lu Sheng scanned the face of his manager with a fierce gaze . Even though Nick was the leader of a boxing gym and was fairly strong himself, his expression turned sour after being stared down in such a way .
Nick gritted his teeth and thought about it .

“With your results, I’ll arrange Libis as your next opponent . He’s a local boxing king from Flower Tree City . ”
“Alright . ”
A few days later, the boxing king Libis suffered internal hemorrhage from the competition . He only managed to hold onto his life after a whole day of emergency procedures in the hospital .
Over the course of the next few days, Lu Sheng took on the other boxing kings as his opponents . However, the results were the same as before . The boxing kings merely took a punch from him and everything ended .
Then, he continued to use the alias Silmann and joined boxing competitions in other regions .
In terms of strength, he was impeccable . However, in terms of technique, there were two professional boxing kings who gave him much inspiration .
Lu Sheng noticed with slight shock that his martial path tier which had been stagnant for a long time was starting to loosen .
It was progressing toward the flawless grandmaster tier .
Gradually, over two weeks, Lu Sheng won every single underground professional boxing competition in the federation and succeeded in obtaining the gold belt of the federal boxing king .
At the same time, he took on new aliases and challenged the dojos he could find .
He even went up to the great dojos where real martial path experts were said to reside . He got much inspiration from their techniques as well .
As Lu Sheng continued to challenge different professionals, his martial path’s tier was also slowly experiencing a transformation with the tempering from his matches .
Border of the federation . Garrison of the Seventh Ward . South Road Desert .
“Boom!”
A loud explosion sound erupted . A white blast of air which had a diameter of dozens of meters formed a ring and quickly spread in all directions .
A sand dune was flattened by the explosion in the blink of an eye, and sand rained down on the surroundings .
The ground was littered with bloodstains and severed limbs . Scraps of military vehicles and tanks were also scattered all around .
The frames of several heavy-duty helicopters were burning intensely, sending into the air thick black plumes of smoke, which was quickly bent and scattered by the strong wind .
“It was only a normal Thousand-man Armor Master . Was there a need for me to do this personally?” Beside the sand dune, a girl with long red hair and a lollipop in her mouth cocked her head . She held a cellphone with her head and shoulder and was chatting casually .
“Mm-hm… I know . I didn’t leave any survivors . Don’t worry…
“I know what to do .

“What about Little Bai? Is he back yet?”
Xu Zhenzhen worked away at her laptop with familiar movements as she listened to the other person on the phone .
“What? He’s dead?!” She moved her head suddenly and her phone dropped onto the sand .
The person on the other end of the phone was still speaking .
“Bai Chaoan has been out for quite some time . His target is still alive and about . I’ve tried contacting Little Bai, but I couldn’t get a response . The higher-ups are guessing that he might have been noticed by that person…”
“So, he’s done?” Xu Zhenzhen pouted . She picked her phone up and blew the sand on it away .
“Little Yu wanted to make a move as well, but I stopped him . If that person noticed us, we won’t be able to get near him with the powers of Star Chasers alone . ” The female voice in the phone was also troubled .
Xu Zhenzhen spat out the lollipop in her mouth and casually said, “Forget it . Let me handle this . She killed one of my men . This is a perfect opportunity to try and see just how powerful that legendary person is . How could she be mentioned in the same breath as the Yellow Springs Witch?”
“Alright then . If it’s you, you’d still be able to escape with your life even if you can’t defeat the target,” the other voice agreed .
Xu Zhenzhen ended the call and sighed . Although Bai Chaoan was a recently converted Star Chaser, she didn’t have any doubts about his loyalty to her .
“What… a pain!”
“Boom!”
A pillar of fire suddenly erupted nearby . A red flame pillar a dozen meters tall shot toward the skies and blew another huge crater on the face of the desert .
Late at night . Flower Tree City .
Lu Sheng sat cross-legged in his bedroom . He slowly made peculiar hand signs as he sat . This was a simple way to regulate his vigor .
He had completed adapting to his rank-18 Mixed Martial Art, and planned to have another breakthrough tonight .
The foundation of his body was already laid . This time, he should be able to rank up by a great margin .
‘Since the assassins have come for me, it’s even more likely that they’ll go after Du Xuning and Li Can . I must hurry and take care of this problem . ’
His current strength might not be enough to fight against a Gesha .
Lu Sheng sat upright and adjusted his breathing .
“Deep Blue . ”

“Swish . ”
The light blue modifier surfaced .
Lu Sheng pushed the modify button . Then, he looked at the content of the last frame directly .
“Mixed Martial Art . 18th limit dan . (Special traits . Silent Fist . Limit-break Body, level-nine . Inner Chain Qi, level-nine . Earth Mother’s Favor . )”
“Rank up . Let me see what exactly is this Earth Mother’s Favor . ” Lu Sheng pushed the derive button behind the frame .
Six units of Mental Energy instantly vanished .
His martial art was raised to the 19th limit dan . The others were merely improved stepwise . He could feel pulses of warmth spreading across his body . His muscles were stronger and more tenacious now, while his skin, internal organs, and bones were becoming harder as well .
“Continue . ” Lu Sheng’s expression remained unchanged . He closed his eyes and pushed the derive button again .
The frame blurred and sharpened, sharpened and blurred .
Time passed slowly .
An hour .
Two hours .
Three hours .
Lu Sheng’s body size did not increase much . It was maintained at an extremely balanced and special state . The mark on his shoulder seemed to allow him to maintain his body size while experiencing enhancements in his strength .
As his dan rose from his derivation, the mark on Lu Sheng’s shoulder glowed brighter as well .
His room was quickly filled with a hazy layer of green light .
A silhouette of a beautiful lady appeared behind Lu Sheng from the green light . She extended her arms and leaned softly on Lu Sheng’s shoulders .
The lady opened her mouth slowly . Small red snakes slithered out of her mouth and quickly surged into the mark on Lu Sheng’s shoulder .
“Pcchht!”
Lu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed at the lady’s neck .
“Bam!”
The silhouette erupted and the lady disappeared . Only a faint scream was left lingering in the air .
