Everyone was chatting in the heavy rain. After a while, people from Sili arrived.
"Captain Zhou, our captain has woken up and wants to see you." Peng Ze came over, his attitude completely different from before.
Before, when he came, he would just give a cold notice. He thought that people from Guangnan Bureau were not worth making close friends with, but now, his mind has changed.
Peng Ze was talking to Zhou Yaning, but his eyes were always on Lu Chengchuan.
The captain, who they thought was the most powerful, was knocked down by the monster's roar. In the end, a person they didn't know came out to deal with the monster. The three of them saw it and felt unbelievable.
But the monster was dealt with by humans. If he hadn't taken action, the captain and the others would have been dead.
"Okay, let's go." Zhou Yaning stood up and left with the others.
Before leaving, Peng Ze stole a glance at Lu Chengchuan. He thought his little action was so subtle that no one else could see it. But Lu Chengchuan saw it clearly, but he just didn't want to point it out.
Zhou Yaning came to the temporary infirmary. Lin Jing had woken up a few minutes ago and was still lying in bed.
He woke up and saw his subordinates, and quickly remembered why he was unconscious. He was frightened and wanted to get up, but his movement was too big and it felt like something exploded in his brain. The pain instantly made him lie back on the bed.
Seeing the captain wake up, several men surrounded him happily. After the pain in his head subsided a little, Lin Jing asked him what happened after he fell into a coma.
His subordinates told him the follow-up situation, and Lin Jing was surprised to learn that it was the people from Guangnan Bureau who eliminated the monster.
He had never encountered such a powerful monster. Just one roar made him lose his fighting ability. Knowing that the monster was killed by the warrior, Lin Jing felt relieved.
"Captain Lin, are you okay?" Zhou Yaning came over and saw Lin Jing lying on the bed with a dull look in his eyes.
The person is awake, but the brain seems not fully awake.
When Zhou Yaning arrived, Lin Jing slowly turned his head and said, "Captain Zhou, I'm much better now. Thank you."
His condition has not recovered yet and he speaks very slowly.
"Captain Lin, there's no need to be like this. You should have a good rest."
In his current condition, he couldn't join the battle even if he got up.
"I'll leave everything to you, Captain Zhou, during this period. If you need any help, you can tell them... I'm really sorry." Lin Jing pointed at the three subordinates who were still able to move, feeling a little guilty.
They came here to solve a problem, but now they need help.
The two were discussing what to do next. Outside, Lu Chengchuan was looking at his remaining lifespan.
After a fierce battle with monsters big and small, he had lost more than thirty-nine years of life. Now he had sixty-two years left to live.
He did nothing after that, but his life span was considered long.
However, several martial arts consume a lot of lifespan, and he has only sixty years left to live, so he has to continue killing monsters.
Looking at the martial arts on the panel, Lu Chengchuan consumed thirty years of his life to upgrade the Giant Elephant Skill to the fifth level. While Qian Xiaoling and the others were chatting, he carefully felt the heat in his body, and his physical strength was rapidly increasing.
"Brother Lu, why are you... foggy?"
A layer of white mist rose from Lu Chengchuan's body. The mist quickly dissipated under the blood rain, but the people around him could still see it clearly.
"It's okay, I'm practicing martial arts." Lu Chengchuan replied, and then continued to feel the heat.
Practice martial arts?
What kind of martial arts practice would cause such a noise? Is this really serious martial arts practice?
Lu Chengchuan did not explain. He did not intend to create the mist, but his body temperature was too high and the water in his body evaporated, so the mist rose up.
Qian Xiaoling and the others stopped chatting and stared at Lu Chengchuan. This was the first time they had seen such a scene.
Two minutes later, the mist on Lu Chengchuan's body dissipated, and the fifth level of Giant Elephant Skill was completed.
To break through the martial arts level, the sixth level also requires thirty years of life. He can continue to upgrade with the remaining life span, but Lu Chengchuan does not intend to do so. He prefers to save his life span for later.
"Brother Lu, are you really practicing martial arts?" When the fog dissipated, Qian Xiaoling, who had been watching, immediately asked him.
"What good would it do if I lied to you? It's normal, no need to make a fuss."
Lu Chengchuan had nothing to say, so he just casually explained it. Qian Xiaoling and the others certainly didn't believe it, but since the person involved didn't say anything, they could only speculate in their hearts.
Half an hour later, Zhou Yaning came back and the alarm sounded in front. A large number of monsters gathered again.
They returned to the defense line and assisted the soldiers in holding back the monsters.
From dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn, a whole day passed, and Lu Chengchuan and the others sat together and talked again.
"Mr. Lu, how did you practice martial arts? Is this thing... still useful now?"
Lin Jing sat in front of Lu Chengchuan and asked him how he had become so skilled in martial arts. He had been full of questions since waking up, and now that he had recovered a little, he immediately came to the defense line.
After repelling the monster, they gathered together to chat. The soldiers built a shed to protect them from the rain, and they sat under it. Lin Jing's men wanted to know why Lu Chengchuan was so powerful. Could his martial arts really be trained to this level?
Lu Chengchuan didn't know how to answer. Many people had asked this question before, so he could only continue to make up lies.
"Maybe I'm just gifted. I can learn quickly."
Lu Chengchuan said this with a thick face. So far, he has learned martial arts with his life. If he really practiced, he might not reach his current level even if he killed himself.
This explanation was a bit far-fetched. Could it be that the warriors in their Investigation Bureau had no talent? They had practiced for more than ten or twenty years, or even most of their lives, but in the end, they couldn't even match a finger of Lu Chengchuan.
But with this explanation, Lin Jing could only ask another question: "Can we practice martial arts? Who among us do you think has the talent for martial arts?"
"Anyone can learn martial arts, but it's hard to master them. I can't tell if any of you have the talent. If you have time, you can practice on your own. If you can master it, you have the talent."
Anyone can practice martial arts, but there is a threshold. Not everyone can improve at the cost of their lives like him. For ordinary people, practicing martial arts depends on talent and resources.
Everyone looked at each other, their curiosity about martial arts skyrocketing.
It was pouring blood. They stayed there for three days. No monsters appeared on the fourth day. They waited until the afternoon and drove back to the institute after confirming that there were no monsters.
On the way back, Lu Chengchuan looked at the system's virtual panel
......
