Chapter 14 Lu Gang

<< Hidden Quest complete: Kill Gu Tianlong and His gang 4/4 >>

<< Rewards: Basic Fist technique (Perfection Level), Basic Palm technique (Perfection level) >>

<< You have received Dark iron grade technique Sword Falling Art >>

<< Host has performed his first Kill, You have obtained High-Level Dark Iron technique Hidden Lion Fist >>

As soon as Ru Chan finished reading the messages, waves of information surged into his mind containing the martial skills that had been awarded to him by the system.

"Hidden Lion Fist!" Ru Chan visualized the power of the hidden lion fist. Quite frankly, he was a bit surprised.

The system had actually gifted him a martial skill after accomplishing a first skill. Not to mention that it was a high-level Dark iron grade one to boot.

In the cultivation world, Martial skills are divided into five ranks, from Peak to low: Basic, Dark Iron, Spirit, Earth, and Heaven.

Each rank had different levels respective such as Low level, Mid-level, High-level and peak level. Basic grade martial skills were considered the worst of the worst.

They were not even worth mentioning and could be considered as trash of the cultivation world. The earlier rewards he had received were such examples. Basic fist and palm techniques were Low-level Basic grade Martial skills and were only practiced to train the foundations.

The amplification of power when using such martial skills weren't even worth mentioning and could be completely disregarded. This was why they were only referred to as basic and didn't have actual names of their own.

Judging by the looks of it, the system had given him the basic fist and palm techniques trained to perfection level to build his foundation.

At that moment, Ru Chan could feel his hands were clearly different from before. They felt firmer and much more steady.

Martial skills were also divided into several levels depending on the user's level of mastery. They were known as initial stages, Achievement stage, Mastery stage and perfection stage.

Receiving such Martial skills, Ru Chan was undoubtedly happy about it. Despite the fact that he had the memories of an all powerful affinity lord, Ru Chan had only fused with a small portion of those memories.

Plus, he was sure that even if he received everything, he wouldn't find any martial skills fit for someone of his level.

As an affinity Martial Lord, Ren Lao certainly had many skills, but he definitely wouldn't remember low-level Martial arts below Heaven Grade.

Maybe with some difficulty, he would remember some Earth grade Martial skills. After all, in the Dao Martial lands, any technique below Earth level was unable to be found.

Who would waste their time learning such weak techniques.

Receiving two Dark Iron Grade techniques could be considered Ru Chan's good fortune. If he could master them properly and raise both to mastery realm, he should be able to use these techniques until he reached the Origin Core realm.

........

Ten minutes ago, at a somewhat inconspicuous bar in the slums. A group of people sat down on the bartenders counter, each of them had a jug of beer in their hands.

At the same time, there were waves of laughter filling the bar as the young and middle-aged men drank to their satisfaction as they jeered between themselves.

Naturally, because of their commotion, one would expect the whole bar to be quite lively. However, it was the exact opposite that was taking place.

Apart from the bartenders counter, the rest of the restaurant was as quiet as a graveyard as everyone else looked over in that direction with grave expressions.

Of course, these were the slightly braver ones. Those with less courage didn't even dare to look in that direction as they hurriedly ate their food and drank their alcohol, wanting no more than to get as far away from this place as possible.

Some even left their meals on the table and ran out of the bar for fear of angering those people at the counter or getting picked on by them.

Why were these people so afraid? Because these men had the logo of the scorpion gang on their clothes.

The logo was actually the drawing. of a red scorpion with a long and massive stinger sticking out of it firmly pasted at the back of their clothing.

This was the gray area of the rules. Naturally, people with less power in the slums were significantly afraid of the tyrannical scorpion gang and would try to avoid trouble at all costs.

As the men laughed, there were several females either sitting on their laps or at their sides with their heads lowered.

They all had a certain amount of beauty and were wearing rather revealing clothing. None were above the age of 20 and the look of helplessness as well as submission in their eyes were as clear as day as these girls had already resigned to their fate.

Some stayed still while others were having their bodies being toyed with.

"Haha! This one I got is actually pretty good in bed. I can't believe that a daughter of such an upright family can be such a slut in bed".

One of the burly men laughed loudly as he spanked the ass of the female companion next to him. His teammates laughed loudly as they drank their beers, occasionally spilling it everywhere in the process.

The bar managers' heart ached badly as he saw this wasteful scene. These bandits had come to his bar and riled up his place of business.

Not only would they do this at least once a week, but they would also leave without paying each time. As if that weren't bad enough, they have the audacity to spill it everywhere for him to clean up.

The middle-aged man was obviously aggrieved. However, he could only silently tolerate such nonsense while cursing the 14 generations of all the men present.

In the scorpion gang, the members all had a certain hierarchy level,, and it could be determined based on the color of their scorpion logo on the back of their upper clothing.

These men all had Red colors on their clothing, which indicated a stage 2 membership within the scorpion gang.

Their strengths were all at stage 3 skin tempering realm and above. This was already considered a powerful force in the slums and made them people that the Bar manager couldn't possibly afford to offend.

Currently, someone hurriedly barged through the door as the face of an 18-year-old youth appeared in the restaurant.

His face was slightly anxious as he surveyed the place, seemingly looking for someone.

When his gaze fell on the area where the scorpion gang members were, his eyes lit up exponentially as he hurried over in their direction.

Of course, this man wasn't seeking a death wish, but he could go towards that area because of the Black scorpion logo on his clothing.

Of course, a black scorpion meant a stage 1 membership, meaning that this youth was only an ordinary member of the gang.

His strength had just reached 1st Stage skin tempering.

"Wang Ji, what the hell are you doing here? How dare a level 1 member come towards a level 2 gathering on his accord. It seems like you are seeking death!"

One of them men barked fiercely as his gazed turned hideous. In the Scorpion gang, the rules of the jungle prevailed was the number 1 rule everyone had to follow.

Whoever had the biggest fist was in charge. Plus, they also had a strict hierarchy system. A level 1 member didn't even have the right to go towards the level 2 member's area without first receiving permission.

If not, they were susceptible to die on the spot.

The youth quivered fiercely at the man's vicious words. He did not doubt that if he didn't give a good explanation, he really would be killed on the spot.

Not wanting to die yet, the youth immediately started talking as he spilled the beans on the reason he was here.

"Forgive me seniors for not knowing my worth! This lowly dog has information that I think will be of appeal to Senior Lu Gang!"

The youth said softly with a lowered head. To avoid getting killed, he quickly went straight to the point and used that demon's name.

And sure enough, after hearing Lu Gang's name, the middle-aged man had his expression change to one of fright before quickly regaining his composure. He leaned backwards in his chair as his gaze turned to a certain direction.

It wasn't just him, everyone's gave had turned to that same direction as multiple pair of eyes landed on the same youth who was sitting at the center of the group with a bottle of booze in his hands.

The once loud and burly group of men had gone dead silent as they waited for Lu Gang to speak with bated breaths. In their eyes was a mix of reverence and fear.

Finally, under what felt like an hour, the youth who was shaking the bottle of booze in his hands finally spoke without turning to face the kid.

"What is it?" His voice seemed cold and detached and could send chills down the spines of men with weaker willpower.

"Senior Lu, our team was recently assigned patrol to collect the monthly fees from the people in our territory.

However, we encountered a special situation today, as we met a girl who didn't have enough money to pay for the protection fee".

"Get to the point!" Lu Gang sneered coldly. "Or is this what you want to waste on? Hehe, looks like some people don't know how to spell the word death".

Lu Gang chuckled nonchalantly. The burly men surrounding him all had fierce expressions as they looked at the kid.

It almost seemed like they were waiting for the order to swallow him up and spit the bones out.

"Of course not, senior, this lowly one doesn't dare to waste your time on irrelevant matters". The youth kowtowed until his head bled.

"As usual, we tried to apprehend her, only the whole process backfired on us".

"She beat up three of our level 2 members who came to deal with her. One was even at the 4th Stage Skin tempering realm. Not to mention the fact that she looks no more than 18, this one gives his opinion of this lady being a rare beauty that would fit senior Lu Gang's tastes".

The youth finished in a single breath. His head was still lowered as he didn't dare to meet the fierce gazes of the other party.

His back was drenched in sweat as he nervously gulped a mouthful of saliva.

"Oh!" A slightly surprised voice rang out. However, that small expression was enough to make the youth breathe out a sigh of relief. He could tell that, from his tone, Lu Gang was certainly interested in the situation.

As long as he picked interest, then at least his life wouldn't be in danger. In the scorpion gang, who didn't know of Lu Gangs, reputation? His strength was several notches above the others,, and he was even a Level 3 member of the gang.

This could be accurately depicted by the Yellow scorpion logo on the back of his upper clothing.

"Your information has successfully piqued my interests". Lu Gang said as he turned around.

The sight of a slightly above average fellow in terms of looks was shown, but his aura and temperament were at a whole other level. It carried a hint of blood, brutality, and craziness within it.

"If it were any other time, I would leave you alive!" The youth's eyes lit up as a smile nearly appeared on his face. However, confusion soon took over as he didn't quite understand what Lu Gang meant.

"What do you mean almost....."

Squelch!

A sword light flashed by and was quickly returned to its sheet.

Tumble!

The head of the kowtowing youth instantly dropped and rolled on the floor until it stopped to showcase the youths' expression that was filled with puzzlement before his head was severed.

He had died without knowing it.

"Unfortunately for you, today was my day off. And I don't like to be disturbed on my day off". Lu Gang said, his expression as nonchalant as ever.

Without looking at the dead body, he got yo from his chair and walked towards the exit.

"Clean that up for me, I want to see who exactly this beauty is that is causing such a commotion?" Lu Gang's voice echoed as he pushed open the doors and walked out of the bar.

Lu Gang's figure gradually disappeared from the gazes of everyone in the bar. The same burly men that were sitting and drinking near him had their backs drenched in cold sweat as their hairs stood straight.

The scene earlier was really too frightening.

"Ha! Another one is gone. Senior Lu Gang's temper is really unpredictable. His mood is even worse, as you have no idea when you have made a mistake or not".

"Yes, he doesn't even give the gang master much face. His arrogant and prideful character makes him think he is above everyone else".

"Quiet down, do you have a death wish? Unless you are physically stronger than him, don't go about running your mouth".

"That's right, the people who have offended Lu Gang didn't even have bodies left that could be buried in graves. Forget about this low-level member, Deng Su and Liu Bai in our group have died already because they angered him".

"What else can we do, he is a level 3 member of the scorpion gang after all? Not just that, his strength is already at the peak 7th Phase Dantian establishment and 6th Stage skin tempering realm despite only being 24. We can't compete at all".

"Fucking Dual cultivators! His strength already surpasses us by a wide margin. We can't even hope to compete with him and can only cozy up to Senior Lu".

The group of young and middle-aged men talked animatedly between themselves. It would be considered very weird to see a group of men in their late 30s and early 40s calling a 24-year-old youth senior.

However, this kind of thinking would be for the narrow-minded. Forget senior, they would willingly call him grandfather if he said so.
