47: Section 47

At this moment, in Yang Yong's heart, it seemed that this high school student was hiding quite a few secrets.

"Alright, let's stop training here for now!"

"Lin Yi, you come over and rest for a bit too!"

After the martial arts training ground fell into a moment of silence, Yang Yong broke it.

He waved his hand and spoke to Lin Yi on the sparring ring.

At this time, he truly felt a bit tired.

Especially after that punch he just threw, it felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.

He really needed to rest and recover properly.

Stepping down from the sparring ring, Lin Yi walked up to Yang Yong: "Coach Yang..."

At this moment, the look in Yang Yong's eyes as he gazed at Lin Yi was completely different from the attitude he had when they first met.

Now, there was a hint of curiosity and appreciation in his eyes.

Even in Xinghai City, at the top-ranked Xinxing Martial Arts Hall.

Students with Lin Yi's talent were extremely rare.

People like Sun Tao, Hu Quan, and Li Xuewen could already be considered rare martial arts Geniuses.

Being able to raise one's Martial Arts Realm to the 4th Rank while still in high school was truly rare.

With their cultivation, as long as they refined it a bit more.

He believed that reaching 1-Star before the Martial Arts Exam would be no problem at all.

However, Lin Yi already possessed a 1-Star Martial Arts Realm...

Arriving at the rest area.

Just as Lin Yi sat down, he saw Zhou Qi walking over carrying two drinks.

"This is a composite functional drink; it can quickly replenish your stamina, and the effect is quite good!"

"Thanks..."

Lin Yi expressed his thanks and took the drink.

Zhou Qi took the opportunity to sit opposite him.

He smiled and said: "Hello, my name is Zhou Qi; I suppose I'm the oldest student here!"

"So you are a senior; call me Lin Yi!"

He also hurriedly introduced himself.

"Hahaha... Your performance on the sparring ring just now was outstanding; you even beat them into submission!" Zhou Qi laughed heartily.

He didn't have any airs of being a senior at all.

Moreover, through his entries, Lin Yi also understood Zhou Qi's talent.

1-Star Martial Artist certification, two purple entries, and two blue entries.

From the moment Lin Yi arrived here, he had noticed this senior.

In terms of martial arts cultivation, aside from Coach Yang Yong, he was the highest in the entire training ground.

In fact, most people in this training ground were high school students.

They all chose to come here for intensive training to improve their Qi and blood cultivation for the sake of the Martial Arts Exam.

People of Zhou Qi's age were truly few and far between.

The Martial Arts Hall's prices were expensive, costing thousands for a single session.

No one would be willing to spend that kind of money, wasting it on unnecessary things.

Those high school students chose to come here in order to participate in the Martial Arts Exam.

They all had their own goals.

What was Zhou Qi's goal? At his age, he had already missed the Martial Arts Exam.

Or perhaps he had already finished taking it; why was he still at the Martial Arts Hall? And why hadn't he gone to a Martial Arts University?

There were many question marks in Lin Yi's heart.

However, he didn't actually ask directly...

Regarding Zhou Qi's words, Lin Yi just smiled and did not deny it.

He certainly wouldn't say things like 'I concede' or anything of that sort.

In front of Lin Yi, whether it was Sun Tao, Li Xuewen, or even Hu Quan from just now.

They were all just defeated opponents.

Furthermore, from the very beginning, they hadn't held back any strength at all; they were completely aiming to cripple him.

Therefore, Lin Yi naturally wouldn't humbly say anything insincere.

Zhou Qi glanced at him and continued: "Do you have a master?"

"A master? Does the school's martial arts class coach count?" Lin Yi asked in return.

Zhou Qi shook his head: "That doesn't count; I mean someone who has formally taken you as a Disciple!"

"Then no!" Lin Yi shook his head.

"In that case, your martial arts talent is quite good. Being able to reach a 1-Star Martial Arts Realm at the age of a third-year high school student isn't that rare, but being able to reach 1-Star on your own talent without a master or a Martial Arts Hall, that is rare!" Zhou Qi said with praise.

Lin Yi smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, senior!"

"This isn't a compliment... it's the truth. With your current talent, you will definitely be able to pass the Martial Arts Exam and receive an invitation from a Martial Arts University!" Zhou Qi said with a serious expression.

Following this, he put down the drink cup in his hand: "Rest is over; let's have a fight. I'll go over and wait for you!"

After saying that, Zhou Qi stood up.

When he walked in front of Lin Yi, he lightly patted his shoulder.

Just in that split second, Lin Yi saw a look of desire in Zhou Qi's eyes.

It was a kind of desire that was paranoid about victory and defeat.

Rather than saying Zhou Qi wanted to spar with Lin Yi.

It would be better to say that Lin Yi's performance just now had stirred up the competitive spirit in Zhou Qi's heart.

He had issued a challenge to Lin Yi...

Lin Yi turned his head and glanced at Zhou Qi's back.

He saw that he had already jumped onto the sparring ring, his gaze calmly fixed on Lin Yi.

Just waiting for him to step onto the ring and fight him.

Lin Yi turned his head back and did not pay any attention to Zhou Qi's provocative gaze.

He chuckled and shook his head, saying: "What a damn lunatic; the people here are all a bit abnormal..."

From Sun Tao to Li Xuewen, and then from Hu Quan to Zhou Qi.

They all had a common ailment, which was a kind of obsession with victory and defeat.

How could this be considered sparring?

Once on the sparring ring, it was a battlefield to 'decide victory and defeat, and also determine life and death.'

Chapter 43: A Shocked Lin Yu, Is the Sparring Partner Actually Him?

Xianghe Road.

A bus had just arrived at the stop.

Lin Yu stepped off the bus.

Immediately, three students of similar age walked up to him.

"Isn't our training in the afternoon? Why come out so early?" Lin Yu glanced at them, his brows furrowed deeply as he spoke.

A student beside him said with a smile: "It's almost noon now, so what's the difference? Besides, a sparring partner came to the Martial Arts Hall today, and I heard he's quite fierce; he even beat Sun Tao, Hu Quan, and the others!"

"A sparring partner?"

Lin Yu's brows furrowed slightly.

The other few people all nodded as well.

"Just now, a senior sent me a message saying that the sparring partner is going to spar with Senior Zhou Qi!"

"With Senior Zhou Qi? Let's go, let's go; we're in for a good show this time!"

"Do you guys have to be so exaggerated? A sparring partner is naturally a martial arts expert; isn't the purpose of sparring to find the opponent's flaws during the process? If their Realm is too low, they simply can't achieve that effect!" Lin Yu curled his lip, feeling that their behavior was childish.

As a result, one named Li Long said: "If that were really the case, what would be so rare about it?"

"The main thing is that this sparring partner is a high school student!"

"That's right, it seems he's a third-year high school student. He was able to defeat Sun Tao, Hu Quan, and Li Xuewen all at once. I heard no one could last more than three rounds..."

Lin Yu heard this and his brows locked tightly.

He had heard a little about those three people: Sun Tao, Hu Quan, and Li Xuewen.

They were all in Yang Yong's class.

Yang Yong was a gold-medal coach at Xinxing Martial Arts Hall, and his Martial Arts Realm had even reached 5-Star.

Students who could train there were all quite talented.

Just picking out any one of them would be enough to sweep through them, the newcomers.

As a result, a high school sparring partner was actually able to challenge and defeat three Geniuses of the third-year high school level?

This made Lin Yu and the other few companions all interested as well.

"Let's go, let's go; if we go now, we can still get a front-row seat. If we go any later, we won't even be able to get in!"
