Becoming a Saint Starts with Copying Martial Arts

Chapter 96 Martial Arts Talent One in a Million

Three more days passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Qing finally received a batch of high-quality corpses.

In the crematorium courtyard, Lin Qing glanced around and saw fifty or sixty corpses lying on the bluestone slabs in front of him, most of whom were martial artists, carrying martial arts skills.

"Why are there so many corpses today?" Wei Dong, standing next to Lin Qing, asked curiously.

Although the city has a population of several million, there are several corpse collection teams, each of which is assigned a crematorium.

Normally, Lin Qing and his team handle no more than ten corpses a day.

"A few days ago, Lord Wang led a team to arrest a large group of Black Dragon Gang members. Some of them were sentenced to death by the Jingming Division for their heinous crimes. Nearly two hundred people were beheaded in one go, and some of their bodies were sent here," Tang Ping explained from the side. He still smelled of alcohol and was carrying a jar of wine. "Let's get to work. Dispose of these bodies as soon as possible. If they are left too long, they will be corrupted by evil energy and become malevolent spirits, which would be a disaster. Lin Qing, you go first and pick three from here."

There were a total of nineteen body collectors present, and they had to handle fifty-eight corpses, with each person handling three corpses, ensuring fairness and impartiality.

Lin Qing stepped forward, and with a glance, he could see all the information about the more than fifty corpses under the blessing of the Record of Rebirth.

This is the advantage of the Fourth-Order Rebirth Record: its detection range is extremely large, and it can grasp all information without physical contact.

Lin Qing's eyes suddenly lit up as his gaze fell on the corpse of a thin boy in the northeast corner. The boy looked very weak and was not even a martial artist, but he actually possessed an excellent-level martial artist talent attribute, which greatly shocked Lin Qing.

Tier 3 Excellent, one in a hundred; Tier 4 Elite, one in a thousand; Tier 5 Outstanding, one in ten thousand!

Moreover, this is not a single talent, such as fist techniques or sword techniques, but a martial arts talent, meaning that all types of martial arts will be enhanced.

Lin Qing didn't show much expression on his face, but he was overjoyed.

"With this talent, even if I can't directly replicate martial arts techniques, my martial arts realm will improve at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people!"

Lin Qing immediately stepped forward and moved the boy's body to an open space to the side. Then he selected two more bodies from the remaining corpses that contained martial arts skills.

One of the corpses was a man in his thirties with a peculiar appearance, a thick red beard, and who had mastered a technique for neutralizing internal energy called the Mad Lion Saber.

The second corpse was a tall, handsome young man with a fair complexion and no beard. He was also a martial artist who had mastered the Heavenly Wind Sword.

"This trip has yielded tremendous results. It would be impossible to find so many corpses of martial arts masters in the prefectural city or Jiangyin County."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment, then moved the two corpses to an open space to the side. He then first put the body of the thin boy into the crematorium.

In an instant, the boy's corpse turned to ashes. Lin Qing did not rush to absorb his soul, but instead stored it in the Record of Rebirth.

He then followed the same method, sending the other two corpses into the crematorium and storing their souls, intending to absorb them again when he returned.

After finishing all this, Lin Qing walked out of the crematorium and into the courtyard. He saw that the others were also busy dealing with the corpses. There were only seven or eight corpses left in the courtyard that had not been moved. Four of them were martial artists. He felt a surge of excitement and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Old Tang, let me handle these four corpses as well."

Old Tang glanced at it, hiccuped, and shook his head: "It really won't work, Brother Lin. Everyone in our corpse collection team has a task. Each person must dispose of a certain number of corpses every month. Unless the number of corpses in a month is too low, if someone doesn't meet the target, they will only receive 80% of the money for that month."

"I understand," Lin Qing exclaimed.

The Soul Division of Fucheng Town is indeed more strictly managed than the Soul Division of Jiangyin County.

"What? Brother Lin likes doing this?" Tang Ping asked in surprise, judging from Lin Qing's tone, he seemed quite disappointed.

"I have a strange temper. I was born to cremate corpses. Otherwise, I wouldn't have joined the corpse collection team. Old Tang, can't you make an exception for me?" Lin Qing asked with a smile, making up an excuse at random.

"I understand. Everyone has their hobbies. For example, I love drinking, and you love cremating corpses... well, that's a bit abnormal. Don't worry, I'll make as much of an exception as possible. If any corpses are sent here in the future, you'll be the first to handle them," Old Tang said with a smile.

"Thank you." Lin Qing nodded slightly.

"If you're still not satisfied, you can go find Lord Wang, or you can work hard and one day become a corpse collector, disposing of corpses however you want," Old Tang added.

"Understood, I won't trouble Lord Wang with this." Lin Qing shook his head.

Wang Ling is usually very busy and rarely stays at the Zhenhun Division's headquarters. He travels around every day, and wherever there are Yin Yuan Sect followers, there he is.

However, Old Tang's second suggestion really appealed to Lin Qing.

Indeed, if he himself became a corpse-collecting team member, he could break through the rules and restrictions of the Soul Suppressing Division.

However, becoming a trade route operator is not easy. First, one must be strong and be a martial artist with the "Baodan Jin" skill. Second, one must have made contributions. Third, one must have a position.

In the Soul Suppression Division, the number of head constables and deacons is fixed and rarely changes.

"No rush, take your time. First improve your strength, then accumulate merits. You'll eventually have a chance to be promoted to a sergeant."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment, then returned to his own courtyard.

With a thought, he first absorbed the soul of the thin boy, and a large number of fragmented memories surfaced in his mind.

After a short while, Lin Qing opened his eyes, having already processed this memory.

This boy was only sixteen years old, came from a poor family, had never learned martial arts, and lost both his parents when he was young. Judging from his family situation alone, he was very sympathetic.

However, his actions after joining the Black Dragon Gang were utterly despicable. He had murdered a family of three, not even sparing a seven-year-old child. Such a person was guilty of heinous crimes, and it is not surprising that he was sentenced to death.

Then, a large number of martial arts skills appeared in front of Lin Qing, or more accurately, all of them were life skills, plus an exceptional talent for martial arts.

With a thought, Lin Qing immediately copied and equipped this martial arts talent, and in an instant, he felt like a completely different person.

Although I didn't feel anything physically, my thinking changed drastically. Before, when I was studying the Tathagata Fist Sutra, I always had a lot of confusion in my mind, and I couldn't solve it no matter how many times I thought about it.

But now, in just a few breaths, these questions have been answered, and he vaguely feels that the Tathagata Fist Sutra has taken a big step forward.

That wasn't all. When he simultaneously equipped himself with the Excellent-level Fist Technique talent attribute, the two combined, causing his mindset to undergo another transformation.

Without needing to think specifically, all kinds of doubts are resolved one by one, and all kinds of inspirations emerge endlessly in the mind.

"So this is what it feels like to be a genius, it's exhilarating!" Lin Qing silently savored the experience for a while, feeling quite moved.

Previously, his martial arts talent was just average, but now he truly understands how great it is to be a genius. His learning speed is several times that of ordinary people, and he has almost no bottlenecks.

"continue!"

Lin Qing had another thought and absorbed a second soul, adding another memory to his mind.

This time it's a gang leader from the Black Dragon Gang, who is also notorious for his evil deeds.

The Black Dragon Gang is filthy; none of the members who become hall masters there are any good people.
