Wu Sheng: I can adapt to evolution

Chapter 21 I Will Bear the Root of All Evil (Please Read)

Winter passed in a blink of an eye. The weather was extremely cold and everything was covered in white.

Lu Ming was practicing boxing in the courtyard, still practicing the basic [High Posture White Tiger Fist].

But he was shirtless, and his feet were twisting and turning, but he always stood on the stance, and his punches were swift, like a tiger climbing and roaring.

"boom."

Suddenly, he stomped his feet on the ground and punched out with a roaring punch. It was as if a thunderclap sounded in the void, and even the branches in the distance were shaking.

He really didn't have much talent in martial arts. More than two months had passed since he hunted the Heart-Eating Monkey, and he had just reached the peak of [Strength Training], which was the level of "Whole Strength".

When punching, one can mobilize the strength of the whole body, step on the ground, lift the waist and hips, and punch with thunder.

An ordinary warrior, if he nourishes his body properly and then comprehends the technique of exerting whole strength, will be able to possess the strength of a thousand pounds.

But now, Lu Ming is doing the opposite.

His arms now weighed a terrifying 8,000 kilograms, and his legs even had the strength of 10,000 kilograms. These were just some of the "side effects" of his enhanced body.

His body now is so strong that he can withstand a punch from the eighth-grade monster Heart-Eating Ape.

After his body evolved to become extremely strong and sturdy, his muscle and bone structure became frighteningly powerful, and his strength also increased a lot.

Although he had never encountered a warrior of a higher level, he thought that if he met the county lieutenant again, the other party would definitely not be able to break his defense.

"In this case, I should be almost certain to pass the next batch of martial arts students."

Lu Ming grinned, revealing a bright smile.

Now that he has sufficient energy reserves and his body has evolved to be strong, he feels that he can let go and do it.

……

The examination for military students was actually quite tedious. They had to sit two exams: one at the county level, called the county exam, and then, within a month, they had to sit another exam at the prefecture level, called the prefectural exam.

Only after passing both tests can one obtain the title of [Wu Tongsheng].

If you want to continue taking the exam, you have to go to the provincial capital to take the exam. If you pass, you will be a [Wu Xiucai].

However, in a state, the most grand examination is the [Academy Examination], which is a joint examination conducted by the martial arts temples of each state and the imperial court. Those who pass the examination are called [Military Scholars].

There are two ways to pass the military examination.

Those who rank at the top can go to the Martial Temple to practice, and when the National Examination comes, they can pass the examination and become a Military Scholar or even the Martial Champion.

If your performance is lower, you can be directly granted an official position and lead troops to a place. From then on, you will be transformed from a carp into a dragon and no longer a commoner.

Of course, even if one is granted an official title, one can still pass the imperial examination, but his strength is far inferior to that of the military candidates who come out of the Martial Temple.

No, it can even be said that there is a world of difference.

The Martial Temple divides martial arts into nine levels, corresponding to the nine grades of monsters, but the vast majority of ordinary warriors in the world are far from meeting the requirements of the Martial Temple.

It is rumored that there is a secret method in the Martial Temple that can increase the limits of the human body, allowing humans, despite their weak bodies, to rival monsters.

But ordinary people cannot enjoy this benefit. They can only eat some monster meat, and they need to have the [Monster Killing Order] to enjoy the quota.

All he has to do now is take the first step…sign up!
Registration is also simple, as long as you have a household registration in Changning County, Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh at his foresight. He purchased a property and registered his household early on, and now he is a real Changning County resident.

He just went to the yamen, registered, and got a license plate, without spending any money.

This was something he was not used to. These people in the government office were always taking bribes, and he had expected to pay a bit. But it was okay, at least he saved some money.

Lu Ming walked leisurely on the street. He had been in a good mood these days. With his increased strength and sufficient energy reserves, he had a preliminary sense of security in this world.

The most important thing is that all the masters in Changning County are dead.

Originally, there were only three second-level martial arts masters in the county, and none of them had returned due to hunting monsters. Only the county lieutenant stumbled back, but he seemed frightened and remained silent after his return.

Although his teacher Chu Xiong was among the dead, the two sides were only exchanging interests. After sighing for a while, he sent another twenty taels of silver to the martial arts school, and the past friendship between them was settled.

After all, how much affection can you expect to develop with someone you've only been with for a few months?

However, the public security in the entire Changning County did not improve as a result, but instead became more chaotic.

The previous martial arts schools were basically equivalent to several factions, and countless people relied on them for their livelihood. For example, when Chu Xiong controlled the southern part of the city, many dock laborers followed him to learn boxing. They were nominally apprentices, but in reality they were his thugs.

Every year, the commission collected from coolies and merchants alone could bring in thousands of taels of silver.

The same goes for Luo Ying, the swift swordsman. Luo Ying controlled an area of ​​Tianqiao, the most prosperous and lively place. He led his disciples, known as the Thirteen Guardians, to collect protection fees from merchants. Similarly, his martial arts school also maintained local security for the government.

The profits are even much higher than Chu Xiong's martial arts school.

As for the Yang Family Martial Arts School, it has the greatest influence, but it also looks down on this unjust money.

The old man of the Yang family was known for his invincible iron spear, and he was famous even in the city. His sons were also accomplished, and now they all had at least the strength of the second level of martial arts. The most powerful third son, Yang Changbao, even had the strength of the third level of martial arts. Now he served as a captain in the city and was considered to have inherited the family business.

The Yang family has a stake in most of the pharmacies, oil mills, and inns in Changning County. Outside Changning County, there are thousands of acres of fertile farmland and mulberry fields registered under the name of the Yang family, and there are hundreds of tenants alone.

That is a real official family.

Although the Yang family lost a son this time, which made Old Man Yang very sad, the Yang family was far from being seriously injured.

But the other two are different.

After the Luo family martial arts school lost its backbone, the remaining ten guards immediately started fighting among themselves, trying to win over, unite, and backstab each other... Fights could be seen on the overpass every day.

Lu Ming lay on the stone bridge, watching the fighting not far away.

The world is bustling with people seeking profit. For the sake of profit, everyone fights and gets bloodied. How embarrassing.

I might as well be kind and take away this source of all evil.

The annual profit of Tianqiao is about two to three thousand taels. It has to be said that Lu Ming is also tempted.

I am a well-known person in this world, I can't always do those things that are against the will of others.

Since there is a property right here at my doorstep, if I don’t take it, I would be doing a disservice to the dead Heart-Eating Ape.

Well, after all, it wasn’t easy for them. They worked hard to kill the three masters from Changning County for me.

"what……"

A disciple from the Luo family martial arts school was hit in the face by a knife. Blood was flowing down his face and he fell to the side. Lu Ming supported him with one hand, with a smile on his face.

"In broad daylight, in the open, they are committing evil in the streets. As chivalrous men, we will never tolerate this!"

"Stop it all!"

　A new book has been released. I beg everyone to read it as much as possible, so that the book won’t die. Thank you so much!
