Chapter 93: Once in a century great genius

"What? Someone broke through the dike?"

When Chen Qiang reported that two vehicles successively broke through the checkpoint over the dike, it immediately caused a huge shock to the entire Dong County traffic team.

It’s not that they were shocked by someone daring to break through the checkpoint, but rather that there were actually people in this world who were so fearless as to cross the dike during a typhoon.

Immediately, a large number of personnel rushed to the checkpoint to see what was really going on.

At the same time, Wang Longhu also informed Hong Wentai of the situation, who then immediately relayed it to Officer Qin.

Another armed and dangerous individual had been discovered, which was an extremely serious matter, allowing no room for carelessness.

Officer Qin responded promptly, driving to the location reported by Wang Longhu.

"Dong County hasn’t been this lively in God knows how many years—no, Dong County has never been this lively," said Officer Qin, feeling somewhat troubled as he drove.

"The elders always said that in the martial arts world there are once-in-a-century prodigies, and once-in-three-hundred-year great changes, and I feel like this commotion might just be starting from our Dong County," Hong Wentai chuckled from the passenger seat, his body still bandaged.

"Are you talking about Wang Longhu? To have reached the level of Dark Force at just 25 is indeed impressive. Many in the military who start practicing martial arts from a young age only just touch upon Ming Jin at his age," Officer Qin nodded in approval but soon shook his head, "But coming from a non-traditional background is still just that. He’s done well to get this far already. Unless he finds a master familiar with the advanced system to enlighten him on Huajin, he won’t be able to progress any further on his own."

Hong Wentai, upon hearing this, merely gave a mysterious smile without offering a rebuttal or further explanation.

Wang Longhu had practiced martial arts for less than a month, single-handedly advancing from an ordinary martial artist to Ming Jin and then to Dark Force. His comprehension and talent might not necessarily require a famous master for further improvement.

Just as Dharma and Zhang Sanfeng hundreds of years ago, great prodigies had unique strengths.

As for what Wang Longhu’s future holds, we’ll just have to wait and see.

When they came upon the scene of the wrecked Maybach on the road ahead, several police cars stopped, and Officer Qin and Hong Wentai put on raincoats and cautiously got out of the car.

At this moment, they saw Wang Longhu standing in the middle of the road, idly practicing the Three-Body Posture. This constant intent to train martial arts wherever and whenever directly earned Hong Wentai’s admiration.

If one wonders what a martial arts fanatic looks like, it would likely be someone like Wang Longhu.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

If someone approached Wang Longhu’s side, they could hear the trembling of his bones and tendons inside his body, producing a sound reminiscent of rolling thunder or the soft growls of tigers and leopards.

This was the sign of Xingyi Boxing’s Dark Force reaching the level of Tiger and Leopard Thunder, where the bones and tendons resonate in unison as the external training fortifies the internal body.

"Master Hong, Officer Qin, I’ve subdued him, and here is his firearm," Wang Longhu took advantage of the situation to conclude his practice and greeted them.

As he handed over the Glock that Lu Tianxing had used, Officer Qin’s eyes brightened—it must be said that Wang Longhu was truly a fortunate star.

This case of capturing an armed criminal was undeniably a significant commendation, and Wang Longhu alone provided Officer Qin with two such opportunities. Reporting this would make a promotion almost unavoidable.

"Take them away," Officer Qin waved as he looked at Lu Tianxing and the driver lying on the ground, and Ye Yuanpei still unconscious inside the car.

Immediately, police officers went over to carry these four onto the car, quickly leaving the scene.

"The dike is too dangerous now, let’s hurry back," Officer Qin urged as he watched the waves crashing against the shore on either side, the spray from which was even painful to the head.

He didn’t want to stay in this godforsaken place one moment longer.

Wang Longhu’s motorcycle, after colliding at high speed with the railings, was also beyond repair and could no longer start. So he joined Officer Qin in the car, and they all quickly headed back toward Dong County’s main island.

...

The typhoon Coral lasted a total of four days, which, for ordinary people, was nothing more than another typical typhoon.

But for Wang Longhu, it was so thrilling that a book could be written about it.

When the dark clouds dispersed and the storm subsided, and the long-lost sunshine shone upon the earth once more, dew still clung to the branches and leaves, while the puddles on the ground hinted at the heavy rain that had previously passed through here.

"It truly feels like a lifetime ago," the monk sighed as he stood in the courtyard, looking at the gun holes Wang Longhu had made with a spear.

"Now those foreign martial artists in Dong County have all been physically dealt with, and Master Yan Jie, unaware that the Marrow Cleansing Scripture is with us, has entirely lost the Buddha statue, preparing to return to Southern Shaolin. We no longer need to keep an eye on those guys, finally free!"

Hong Wentai stretched lazily, sitting on a chair basking in the sun with a satisfied smile.

"Yeah, this way Dong County will finally be completely peaceful. Wang Longhu, what’s your plan next?" the monk asked, turning to watch Wang Longhu practicing Xingyi Boxing nearby.

"Just laze around in Dong County," Wang Longhu replied calmly. He currently had over two hundred thousand yuan earned from Zheng Dongliang, enough for him to eat, drink, and relax for quite some time.

"I suggest you travel a bit; although this matter is resolved, Lu Tianxing has considerable backing. His visit to Dong County to seize the Marrow Cleansing Scripture was likely prompted by someone behind him. If that individual is determined to get the scripture, you won’t easily laze around," the monk sighed.

"Who? Are they very powerful?" Wang Longhu paused his stance, curious.

"Lu Tianxing, the second son from the third house of the Lu family on Hong Kong Island, was once heavily involved with remnants of the British. After the return of the Bauhinia, the family became much quieter. Ancestors of the Lu family learned the Eight Trigrams Palm from Dong Haichuan in Beijing, gaining the true teachings, but due to certain reasons, the entire family moved to Hong Kong Island, establishing themselves there and are considered influential figures," Hong Wentai yawned and explained.

"The current patriarch, Lu Pingshan, should be around eighty or ninety now. He’s probably at the point where money can’t extend his life anymore, forcing him to bet on the Marrow Cleansing Scripture for longevity," added the monk.

Modern technology is extremely advanced, and with money, even terminal cancer can be treated to prolong life.

Wang Longhu had heard a colleague talk about a friend who was wealthy enough to open a company just 100 meters from West Lake.

This person’s father had a terminal illness, yet every week they spent $50,000 on special foreign treatment injections, keeping him alive for five years now.

That’s the power of money; no ordinary family could afford such a reprieve.

But technology’s power is also limited—when life is at its end, one must still die. It’s a natural order, the rules of the world, unavoidable for anyone.

Thus, a wealthy individual’s late-life hope for longevity being placed in something as mystical as the Marrow Cleansing Scripture is understandable.

As the saying goes, desperation drives one to clutch at straws, to treat a dead horse as if it were alive.
