CHAPTER 52: CHAPTER 52 UNDERWORLD

Can’t bear it!

But in these days, Lu Ren has also been in contact with Li Ziqing. Li Ziqing told him that there are highly skilled Martial Path practitioners focusing on horizontal training of body muscles, who had once tightly lodged armor-piercing bullets in their muscles, but such examples are truly rare.

The practice method of horizontal training is extremely difficult; without great perseverance, it’s hard to achieve unless one has excellent inherent talent in bones and muscles.

This is also why both Li Ziqing and Yan Zhenghua say Martial Path is in decline. How many truly adept martial arts practitioners are there? Generally, a Martial Arts Family who has trained for twenty or thirty years cannot withstand a bullet hitting a vital spot.

This huge psychological gap isn’t something everyone can accept.

As for the Martial Path spirit, Lu Ren feels quite apologetic about it. He truly doesn’t count as a pure Martial Artist. Anything that benefits him will do.

He Li is a person who worked in the logistics department of the Security Bureau for nearly ten years. After receiving a mission assignment, he drove to Lu Ren’s doorstep.

Honestly, he really likes this logistics job; as long as he can deliver goods and keep his mouth shut, it’s fine. He doesn’t have to be like those Martial Artists in the bureau, fighting life and death all day. Sometimes learning about what some foreign hostile elements do both on the border and within the country makes him extremely angry, but his inherent Talent is really too poor; his heart is willing but his power is insufficient, so he can only do this job to make a living.

Therefore, he always has great respect for the Martial Arts Family in the bureau. It’s these people who silently resist and clear out the scoundrels within the country, especially Zhang Li, the captain of Emergency Team 1, who has resolved crises affecting the Nation several times, with strong capabilities.

"Report, I’ve arrived at Lu Ren team member’s residence, preparing for pickup."

He Li reported the information according to regulations through his headset, waved towards the fully armed Lu Ren, who also responded.

When he saw Lu Ren walking over, He Li was about to say a few words when he suddenly widened his eyes, face full of shock. Having undergone reaction training, he pressed the alert button!

Then opened his headset, with a trembling voice saying: "Re-Report, Lu Ren suddenly vanished... Suspected, suspected space quake encounter, was God-hidden, entered the Exotic Realm!"

...

...

"What the heck?!"

Lu Ren didn’t even have time to react before he suddenly felt himself in a weightless state. When his vision quickly clarified, his face changed dramatically.

Damn, he was actually doing a free fall exercise in high altitude!

Looking at the ground rapidly expanding in his sight, Lu Ren tried his best to remain calm, diligently adjusting his body posture.

As for the system prompt in his mind, he simply didn’t have the time to check it, at this point he couldn’t care less about any prompts.

Relying on his strong physical constitution, Lu Ren quickly accurately found the technique to stabilize control of his body in mid-air. Once he stabilized in the air, he formed a large character shape, trying hard to decrease the falling speed while constantly searching the ground with his gaze.

If he hit the ground directly, he would definitely become a pile of minced meat.

There’s a lake!

Lu Ren focused his gaze, looking at the lake not far away. Although from this height, falling into the lake and landing on the cement ground makes no difference, but with his Constitution, and adjusting his posture, it should only cause slight injuries.

He had watched videos of people falling from 100 meters high, hands together above the head forming a wheat awn shape, to break the water surface, protecting themselves to the maximum degree.

Though it resulted in fractures and injuries, it was not fatal.

With his current physical condition, this shouldn’t be the case!

At an initial estimate, the distance for his fall is fifteen miles away, with his current altitude, gliding there shouldn’t be too big of a problem.

Lu Ren slightly leaned forward, arms folded, using his waist and abdomen strength to adjust direction leveraging wind resistance, he flew straight towards the lake.

Boom!!

A massive splash suddenly exploded on the calm lake surface.

One minute later, a figure holding a Longsword slowly emerged from the lake edge, lying flat on the shore.

Lu Ren only felt like his whole body was almost about to crack, if not for the sudden inspiration at the last moment drawing out his Longsword to swing and break open the water surface to reduce impact, he truly felt that he might be smashed to death.

Even so, the Power from the high-altitude fall already raised an extremely large wave.

Though sore all over, it’s fortunate that there’s not much problem; just a slight rest will do.

Luckily!

"Ding, you were walking when you suddenly encountered an Alternate Space connection three kilometers away in the real world. The system determined that resistance was futile, you successfully got swept and fell into the Exotic Realm."

"Ding, discovering the Exotic Realm, confirming world coordinates, confirmation complete, you fell into the Underworld, survival mission reached standard, automatically activated."

"Ding, you discover yourself falling into the Underworld, filled with weirdness and terror sinister."

"Please survive for a month until the Underworld Space leaves, automatically disengaging from the world after the space overlap point disappears."

Underworld?!

Playing with magnetic attraction?!

This is clearly actively connected by the system!

If strength is not enough should it be sent away?!

Lu Ren’s face turned exceedingly heavy. Judging from the system’s prompt, this world should be quite terrifying.

After resting a bit, with the pain fading more than half, Lu Ren half sat up. Just as he was about to leave the water surface, he felt a tightness at his left ankle, a cold and frigid aura suddenly passed from that hand, almost freezing his left foot, making him shiver involuntarily.

There is a hand holding his foot!

Lu Ren immediately reacted, looking up; it was a hand, a cyan-black hand swelled immensely from long immersion.

He then felt a Giant Strength from that hand fiercely trying to drag him into the water.

System: "Ding, you seem to have encountered a ghostly entity’s enthusiastic welcome; it doesn’t seem to want you to leave so soon."

Lu Ren’s face turned calm, showing no sign of panic. Even though his heart was shouting "What the heck," his sword was unsheathed and swung down fiercely.

The Longsword, unparalleled sharp, hit down. Lu Ren felt as if he was holding a rotten machete chopping a wooden stake, extremely laborious.

"Chop!"

With a muffled shout.

Muscles in Lu Ren’s right arm and right shoulder-neck suddenly swelled fiercely at this moment.

Swish!

The Longsword directly severed the dark hand coming from the water.

"Ding, you swung your sword, severed the Water Ghost’s arm, and your Strength Proficiency +1"

"Ding, you suffered an assault from the cold Power, you involuntarily shivered, your Constitution skill level passively +1"

Lu Ren took the opportunity to push with his left hand against the ground, his legs jittered as well, distancing himself from the lake by a dozen meters before barely stopping.

Following this, the formerly calm lake edge instantly boiled, raising waves. Countless hands stretched from the water, reaching in vain across the air towards Lu Ren, unwilling to let him escape like this.

Lu Ren cut down the black hand that tightly held his foot, slowly stood up, gazing solemnly at the lake surface where hundreds of dark hands emerged.

If he had encountered this in the lake, the consequences would be unimaginable. Being caught by these hundreds of ghostly hands, he wouldn’t even have a chance to escape.

Dread!

Sheathing the Longsword, Lu Ren exhaled a breath, he couldn’t stay here, needing to find a safe place.

Fortunately, due to having a high Spirit Attribute of 10 points, during the search in the air earlier, he managed to get a general view of the nearby region, thus not losing his way.
