Global Martial Arts: Slaughter to Become Emperor

Chapter 18 Examining the Corpse

As the two walked towards the back, Lu Hao said, "Hey buddy, why do we have a morgue here? Are we afraid the corpses will come back to life?"

"It's unlikely that they'll come back to life. I'm just worried that someone might use these corpses to do some kind of experiment. Besides, I've been watching over these corpses for years. There's no such thing as a zombie coming back to life. They're all fake," Xiao Li replied.

And so, Lu Hao followed Xiao Li toward the back.

……

"Director Bai, is this child a prodigy from Wuhan University? But prodigies don't usually emerge around this time, do they?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Viper, stop asking questions. That's my son. He has good martial arts talent and broke through ahead of schedule. He's just here to have some blood."

Bai Qiuyao said that as for Lu Hao's identity, revealing it would make Viper take it more seriously. Besides, Viper is practically an official, so it wouldn't matter if he knew.

"Your son? If I remember correctly, this is your youngest son, right? Isn't he still a senior in high school? What are you doing here?"

Viper knew that Bai Qiuyao's eldest son was dead, and he even had a guess about where he died. But that was what made Viper even more surprised, since his eldest son had just died. Who would let his younger son go down the same path?

"Sigh... There's nothing I can do. A son is beyond his mother's control once he grows up. This kid has good talent. Keeping him at Magic Martial Arts School will definitely be fine. He'll have to face it sooner or later, and it's also his own request."

The viper didn't say anything more.

……

On the other side, as Lu Hao went deeper and deeper, the lights dimmed. Was this intentionally designed to scare people and train the martial arts students who came here to see blood?

After walking for a few minutes, we finally arrived at a room where the shouts from the ring were completely gone.

The two guards outside greeted Xiao Li as "Brother Li".

"Is someone inside gone? Has no one taken any action?"

"No, we'll deal with it together after this is over."

"Alright, no need for that then. You guys tidy up inside and let this young man in. You don't need to worry about what he does in there. Same as always, you can leave when you're done."

Xiao Li gave a few simple instructions, but judging from the reactions of the two people opposite him, it wasn't the first time they'd done something like this; they were quite skilled at it.

"Alright, young man, you can go in now. If anyone dies later, we'll let you know, and you can go up and collect the body. Don't worry, there are no ghosts."

Xiao Li opened the door and said.

Seeing this, Lu Hao gritted his teeth and went inside.

Before he could even properly observe the room after entering, he heard the door behind him close and even the sound of it being locked. Lu Hao's lips twitched slightly.

Are they afraid he'll run away?

Lu Hao then began to observe the entire room.

The room wasn't big, probably only about 50 square meters, and it had seven or eight beds, just like the ones in a hospital morgue.

There was only one small light bulb on the roof, emitting a yellow glow that could only provide a faint illumination.

There was a television in front of him, playing a video. Lu Hao walked over and saw that it was the horror movie "The Haunted Village".

Moreover, the TV is very large, almost half the size of the wall, so it's impossible to ignore it.

"Is this really necessary?" Lu Hao was speechless. It seemed like they wouldn't stop until they scared him to death.

Shifting his gaze, Lu Hao saw two dead bodies on two of the beds. In the dim light, he could see their grotesque faces, and their eyes were not closed, as if they had died with their eyes wide open.

One of them was the martial artist Lu Hao had seen killed when he came in, and the smell of blood emanating from them was also present.

Most people would probably be completely terrified by this atmosphere, but Lu Hao, with his experience in slaughterhouses, was much better off.

But Lu Hao also felt a little uneasy.

After all, there are two corpses with him now, one of which might still be warm, plus the sounds coming from the television.

Anyone would be terrified in this situation. Even if you know there are no ghosts, the atmosphere makes it seem like there are ghosts even if there aren't any.

Just as Lu Hao continued to look around, a ghostly face suddenly appeared on the TV screen.

Lu Hao's heart skipped a beat in an instant, but thankfully he didn't scream. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his mother had really found him a good place.

However, since those martial arts prodigies could pass, there was no reason why he couldn't. So Lu Hao forced himself to watch the movie while observing the corpses beside him.

Lu Hao was unaware that this setup was designed for the most talented geniuses in martial arts school. Normally, people wouldn't stay in a room alone; they would usually stay in a room with two or three people. Also, although there were horror movies, the lighting wasn't as appropriate, and the corpses were covered with white sheets.

……

Outside the room, in another room several dozen meters away.

Xiao Li and his two companions were smoking and chatting here. They were watching Lu Hao's performance in the video. If Lu Hao fainted, the three of them would be responsible for going in and carrying him out.

After all, the longer you stay here, the more likely you are to encounter those timid geniuses. Some people will not be able to accept it or even faint, and that's when they need to step in.

"That's what one of the burly gatekeepers said."

"How long do you think this kid will stay?"

"Half an hour, an hour, that's the highest level of treatment. Even if he's incredibly talented, this kind of thing can't be sustained just by talent."

"I think this kid might be able to hold on. When I went to pick him up, I saw that it was Director Bai who brought him over. Director Bai isn't one of those martial arts university professors; she personally brought him over."

"It's probably a relative or friend of hers. Director Bai knows our standards here. Since she mentioned the highest standard, this kid might actually be able to handle it."

"That's incredible! To pass the highest standard means this child's future is incredibly bright!"

"I really envy these Wuhan University students. I wonder if my brat will be able to get into Wuhan University."

"It's tough. There's no hope for my son. We can only wait for him to get out and find another job."

……

Lu Hao was unaware of the discussion among the three outside; his attention was currently focused entirely on the corpse and the movie. Perhaps it was because Lu Hao was naturally brave, or perhaps it was related to his experience in the slaughterhouse.

After the initial panic, Lu Hao gradually calmed down. After all, the corpse in front of him couldn't possibly come back to life. Besides, if it dared to come back to life, Lu Hao would let it taste the power of a minor mastery of leg techniques.

And so, Lu Hao watched the movie plot while simultaneously studying the two martial artists.

Lu Hao noticed that one of them had a thicker upper arm and the other had a thicker lower body, indicating that they had chosen different methods for bone tempering.

Once Lu Hao's tempering reaches a certain level, he will become like the corpse that tempered its lower limbs, with its lower limbs becoming thicker and more resistant to blows. At the same time, the amount of blood and qi it can withstand will also increase, and the power of its leg techniques will also increase significantly.
