43: Section 43

"A family like ours was never meant for such an expensive Martial Arts Hall anyway; why make things difficult for yourselves?"

After finishing, Lin Yi smiled with disdain.

He glanced at Lin Yu and Liu Hongmei, the mother and son, and stood up directly.

"I have something to take care of, so I'm heading out. I'll be back tonight!"

Walking to the entryway to change his shoes, Lin Yi opened the door and left.

When the sound of a 'bang' echoed, Liu Hongmei's expression became increasingly gloomy.

She had not expected Lin Yi to say such things, nor had she expected him to reject her so directly.

A plan for the future?

What kind of plan could he possibly have? Does he actually want to take the college entrance exam? Or even the Martial Arts Exam?

With a gloomy face, Liu Hongmei picked up her phone and made a call.

It rang several times before the call was connected.

Gritting her teeth, Liu Hongmei said coldly, "Lin Dazhi, I don't care where you are right now, get back here immediately!"

East District, Xianghe Road.

A bus slowly pulled into the station.

Once it came to a stop, the doors opened.

Some students walked off from the back, chatting and laughing.

Finally, Lin Yi got off the bus alone.

Along the way, those students were all discussing the Martial Arts Hall competition.

Lin Yi gained a rough understanding of the situation.

Next week, Xinghai City will host a city-wide Martial Arts Hall tournament.

Every Martial Arts Hall will send students to participate.

The most popular Martial Arts Hall is, naturally, Xinxing.

Besides Xinxing, three other halls are also generating a lot of buzz.

They will be the three Martial Arts Halls standing in the way of Xinxing winning the championship.

But these things didn't hold much interest for Lin Yi.

He came here today just to make money.

As long as he earned enough money to successfully register for the Martial Arts Exam, that would be a major task accomplished.

Lin Yi arrived downstairs at the Xinxing Martial Arts Hall.

It was an independent three-story building that occupied a significant area.

A dozen luxury cars were parked side-by-side outside, and some young people were walking into the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall.

Lin Yi paused for a moment, then followed them through the doors of the Martial Arts Hall.

To his surprise, just inside was a magnificent and resplendent lobby.

The decoration style was extremely exaggerated, fully displaying wealth and luxury.

"No wonder the fees here are high; the decor alone is enough to intimidate people!" Lin Yi thought to himself in surprise.

The front hall was just like a hotel lobby.

However, on the left side was a row of striking posts, and on the right were several sets of sofas and coffee tables.

The students who had come in earlier were all walking further inside.

Directly opposite the entrance was a front desk, where three young girls were standing.

They all looked very sweet, and on the background wall, the words 'Xinxing Martial Arts Hall' were prominently displayed.

Promotional posters were pasted on both sides.

On the other wall, there were introductions to the Martial Arts Hall's coaching team, along with their martial arts cultivation levels and photos.

"Hello, are you here to sign up for boxing lessons?"

When Lin Yi walked up to the counter, a girl walked over with a sweet smile.

Even the sound of her voice was very pleasant.

However, this did not affect Lin Yi's Heart-Nature.

He just smiled and shook his head, politely saying, "Hello, I am here to be a sparring partner!"

"A sparring partner? Oh, I remember now, please wait a moment..."

The girl showed an expression of sudden realization.

She then picked up the desk phone and made a call.

Chapter 39: Are we hiring a sparring partner, or an ancestor? (Please bookmark and follow)

After the receptionist finished the call, a few minutes later.

A burly man in his thirties walked over hurriedly.

He had a crew cut and looked quite ordinary.

However, a sharp look flashed across his eyes.

When he arrived at the front desk and saw Lin Yi.

He first looked Lin Yi up and down.

Then, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"Hello, you must be the sparring partner introduced by Teacher Liu, right? I am a coach here, named Yang Yong. You can just call me Coach Yang!" The man initiated the self-introduction.

Lin Yi nodded: "Hello Coach Yang, I am Lin Yi, from No. 3 High School..."

Before Lin Yi could finish speaking, Yang Yong nodded and interrupted him.

"Teacher Liu already told me about your situation before you came; you want to make money, right? But being a sparring partner is very hard work, are you sure you can persist?" Yang Yong confirmed.

Lin Yi smiled: "I should be able to handle it!"

After speaking, Yang Yong looked at him intently again.

After a long while, he said: "Alright, follow me first!"

After saying this, he turned and walked back the way he came, and Lin Yi followed him.

Just to the left of the front desk, there were three elevators.

Yang Yong pressed a button, the elevator doors slowly opened, and he looked back at Lin Yi.

The two of them walked in, one after the other.

The elevator arrived at the second floor, and after a 'ding' sound, it stopped.

"Come on!" Yang Yong said to Lin Yi, turning back, and walked out of the elevator first.

When Lin Yi also walked out of the elevator.

The scene before him suddenly opened up.

Stepping out of the elevator, he entered a training field.

Many students were all doing various types of training.

Some were hitting posts, some were shadowboxing, some were sweating on treadmills, and some were training their strength.

And in the very center of the training field was a ring.

At this moment, two people were sparring on the ring.

One looked to be in his twenties, his fist technique seasoned and vicious.

Every punch was fast, accurate, and ruthless, making his opponent suffer greatly.

In less than two rounds, his opponent was beaten back step by step, losing the Aura he had just moments ago.

Yang Yong led Lin Yi straight toward the ring.

"Stop for a moment, Zhou Qi, Liu Yang, you two stop for a second!"

Clap, clap, clap—

Following that, Yang Yong clapped his hands again, attracting the attention of the others.

In an instant, everyone in the entire Martial Arts Hall walked toward Yang Yong.

"I'm announcing one thing: this student is Lin Yi from No. 3 High School.

He is the new sparring partner. I won't say much else; the purpose of a sparring partner is to help you find your shortcomings during actual combat!"

"Of course, keep it light and stop when you've made your point; after all, he is still a student. Do you all understand?"

After Yang Yong finished speaking, everyone else's gaze turned toward Lin Yi.

And from their eyes, Lin Yi could see some disdain, confusion, contempt, and bewilderment.

This was not surprising at all.

The students in the training field were all at least in high school.

And it looked like they had been training here for a long time.

Their Basic Fist Technique and footwork were all practiced very solidly.

Some even had extensive actual combat experience.
