140: Section 140

She walked back carrying the freshly made sweet and sour pork tenderloin.

"Is it really that bad?"

"I think I have quite a talent for cooking!"

With that, she picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of tenderloin, and put it into her mouth.

After chewing just a few times, she spat it out directly.

"What's going on? I've made this so many times, and it's still not working? Which step is actually going wrong?"

She hurriedly picked up her phone.

She opened a video app and found a cooking video she followed.

Inside was a woman in her forties.

She was wearing a pink apron and was earnestly explaining how to make home-style pork tenderloin.

At this moment, Tang Qinru was like a devout student.

She sat on the chair, watching the video intently, learning the steps to make home-style pork tenderloin.

...

Xinxing Martial Arts Hall.

Lin Yi got off the bus, feeling his stomach still bloated and uncomfortably full.

"I sat on the bus the whole way, and it still hasn't digested!"

"Did I eat rocks just now?"

Lin Yi thought about the plate after plate of sweet and sour pork tenderloin he had just eaten.

It made him feel a strong aversion to this dish.

Let alone a year, even in the future, Lin Yi didn't want to eat it ever again.

He walked all the way into the lobby of the Martial Arts Hall.

This was his first time returning to the Martial Arts Hall since he was injured.

Just as he entered the lobby, he saw a few students talking excitedly about something.

The moment they saw Lin Yi.

Their eyes all lit up.

"Senior Brother Lin?"

"Is it really Senior Brother Lin?"

"Senior Brother Lin, we heard you were injured. How is your recovery going?"

Seeing several junior students all crowd around him.

They were only around the age of high school freshmen, and Lin Yi smiled.

"I've recovered almost completely!"

"Why aren't you all at the training grounds training?"

Lin Yi stopped when he reached the elevator and turned back to ask them.

Lin Yi had left the house much later than usual today.

By the time he arrived here by bus, it was already past ten in the morning.

It was at least an hour later than usual.

Logically speaking, after they arrived, they wouldn't usually linger in the first-floor lobby.

They would all go straight to their respective training grounds to practice.

Upon hearing this, those few students looked at each other and smiled.

"Senior Lin, you don't know yet, right?"

"A Senior came over these past two days; it seems he said he returned from the New District and is helping with the training!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Yesterday, he defeated Senior Zhuang Tao and Senior Lin Lu in Training Ground 1. It seems he's going to your training ground today!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Yi glanced at them.

"A new Senior?"

Zhuang Tao and Senior Lin Lu were both Disciples of the Liu Yuan training ground.

Their status was the same as Lin Yi's and Zhou Qi's.

They all enjoyed the treatment of Disciples.

In the training ground, those who could hold the status of a Disciple naturally had outstanding talent.

They were also the students whom the training ground focused on cultivating.

Even among the numerous students, as Disciples, they always possessed a dazzling aura.

It made ordinary students look up to them in awe.

When Lin Yi heard that they had actually been defeated.

He didn't feel very surprised.

To put it bluntly, a Disciple of a training ground could only represent one training ground.

Their talent was only considered the best within this training ground.

Xinghai City was so vast, and there were countless training grounds.

Who knows where a Prodigy-level martial arts Genius might appear.

Moreover, since the other party had returned from the New District, it was highly likely that they had been admitted to the Martial Arts University from the Old District.

Whether it was talent, combat experience, or the Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill they practiced.

How could they be compared to these high school students?

Lin Yi had heard before that after entering the Martial Arts University.

It was actually like a small society.

They didn't just sit in classrooms attending lectures in a rigid way every day.

Nor did they train day after day in the training ground.

Everything they were exposed to was real combat.

The school would issue them various hunting missions every day.

Those students just needed to complete their daily missions.

Within these missions, danger and death coexisted, but so did various opportunities.

If they could complete the missions, not only could they receive substantial bonuses.

But they also had abundant resources to obtain.

Just like Qin Zhaoxue and Shen Yuze.

Joining the Monster Hunting Bureau to become an intern Demon Hunter.

Was actually a mission issued by the school...

"Wait, Shen Yuze?"

Lin Yi thought of this person's name.

Among the people who had recently returned from the New District, besides Qin Zhaoxue, there was Shen Yuze.

Lin Yi knew Qin Zhaoxue very well.

She was simply not the type of person who liked to show off; on the contrary, she was very low-key.

Especially when wearing a mask versus when she wasn't; she was like a completely different person.

To say she would come to the Martial Arts Hall and act as a 'Senior' to point fingers and lecture others.

Or to suppress these junior students in the capacity of a Senior, she simply couldn't do it.

Then the only person who could do such a thing was likely Shen Yuze.

"Are you not coming in?"

Lin Yi walked into the elevator and saw that those junior students had no intention of coming in.

He asked with curiosity.

As a result, they smiled and shook their heads: "We are waiting for our classmates. You go ahead, Senior!"

Lin Yi nodded and didn't say anything more.

Then the elevator door closed.

Soon, when the elevator arrived at the second floor.

Lin Yi stepped out from inside.

He was shocked to see that the training ground was already crowded with people.

The scene before him was just like when he first came here as a sparring partner to spar with Zhou Qi.

Only today, he had become the spectator, and the people on the ring had changed to Zhou Qi and that Senior... Shen Yuze.

Lin Yi was not in a hurry to change into his martial arts uniform.

Instead, he crossed his arms, leaned against a pillar, and began to watch with great interest.

Shen Yuze, as a Senior who had been admitted to the Martial Arts University several years earlier.

Whether it was his cultivation Realm or combat experience, he was the type who stood out from the crowd here.

Although Zhou Qi also held the status of a Disciple in the Martial Arts Hall.

However, in front of the other person, he was far behind in every aspect.

He saw his figure sway, his feet moving rapidly like a winding spirit snake, maneuvering quickly.
