[Extreme Blue Martial Arts Modifier]
Name: Lu Yun
Sex: Male
Realm: Grandmaster of Divine Intent (Initial Stage)
Cultivation Technique: Ten Thousand Valleys Struggle Fist (First Layer), Hard Qi Gong (Third Layer - Mastery)
Modification Value: 400
Lu Yun stared at the line of numbers, the corner of his mouth curling into a slight smile.
He had gained three hundred and fifty Modification Value points in one go. Added to the fifty he had left, that made exactly four hundred.
He wasn’t surprised by this.
In Lu Yun’s opinion, the difficulty of dealing with this Water Monkey was second only to that foreigner, Count Thorne, who had been possessed by an Outer Celestial Demon.
This Water Monkey had an incredibly tough hide. Hundreds of bullets had only managed to break its skin and draw blood; they couldn’t kill it at all.
And the damn thing could even control water currents and weeds. A moment ago, its underwater weed attack was completely overwhelming; anyone else would have been entangled and killed long ago.
If this thing were on land, a Grandmaster of Divine Intent of the same Realm as Lu Yun could deal with it easily.
But in the water, one would have to obediently wait for the damn thing to come ashore before making a move.
After all, a Martial Artist’s strength is drained and weakened underwater, preventing them from performing at their full potential.
His earlier Ten Thousand Valleys Struggle Fist hadn’t even unleashed one percent of its power underwater, which was why Lu Yun had simply tossed the damn thing onto the bank to finish it off.
Even though the Water Monkey was eliminated, Lu Yun still found it very strange.
’This doesn’t make sense.’
He could accept that a spirit creature like a Water Monkey might exist in the river. There were plenty of bizarre things in this world; one more or one less Water Monkey didn’t make a difference.
’But why the hell was it as big as an elephant? And a monster that was immune to bullets?’
’Is this some kind of joke?’
Lu Yun recalled that the pier had never encountered a situation like this before.
Longyuan Bay Pier had been around for who knows how many years. Workers made their living by the river every day, and countless cargo ships came and went.
If such a behemoth had always been lurking in the river, someone would have discovered it long ago.
But no one had. Forget a Water Monkey this large; no one had ever even seen a normal-sized one.
’It couldn’t have just popped out of a rock, could it?’
’Something isn’t right.’ Lu Yun’s brow furrowed deeper. ’The world must be undergoing some change that I’m not aware of.’
Lu Yun remained silent for a long time, only snapping out of his thoughts when he heard footsteps approaching from the distance.
"Great-Uncle!"
"Master!"
Lu Jingwu and Yan Lintong, leading the two hundred or so men, hurried over from the direction of the gate.
They first sighed in relief upon seeing Lu Yun standing there unharmed, but then their faces filled with shock when they saw the black puddle on the ground.
Lu Jingwu asked cautiously, "Great-Uncle, the monster..."
Lu Yun glanced at him and said flatly, "It’s dead."
Dead? Just like that?
The two hundred-odd men looked at each other in disbelief. From over a thousand meters away, they had vaguely seen a commotion on the river’s surface and a massive dark shape churning in the water, and then... nothing?
Yan Lintong stepped closer to examine the black puddle, then looked at Lu Yun’s torn clothes, his expression changing slightly. "Master, are you all right?"
Lu Yun waved his hand. "It’s nothing."
A short while later, the black sedan drove away. The two hundred or so men stood where they were, watching as the car carrying Lu Yun receded into the distance.
Only after the car had vanished from sight did someone dare to speak in a low voice, "The monster... is it really dead?"
"Obviously. Didn’t you see that black puddle?"
"But... it was so huge. How did it die?"
"Didn’t you hear Lord Lu? Dead is dead. Why ask so many questions?"
"I’m just curious..."
"Curious my ass! Who is Lord Lu? A Grandmaster of Divine Intent! You think killing a Water Monkey is hard for him?"
The crowd broke into a flurry of discussion, but they soon all dispersed on their own.
