53: Section 53

It was mainly to enrich his practical combat experience.

Lin Yi even learned how to predict, making ample preparations in advance.

Practical combat experience cannot be learned in school or other places.

This is something that can only be understood through repeated battles and life-and-death situations.

Continue Monster Hunting.

Use those Yao Beasts to enrich his practical combat experience.

It brings only benefits and no harm.

Yang Yong smiled and asked, "Do you have any plans to use the remaining three months to train at the Martial Arts Hall?

With your talent, it is not impossible that you could push towards the 2-Star Realm within three months!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi first looked at him in surprise.

Then, he smiled and shook his head, "I haven't thought about it. The tuition here is too expensive; a family like mine cannot afford it!"

"Then, what if... it were free?"

"Free?"

Lin Yi looked at Yang Yong in shock, doubting whether he had misheard.

Could there really be such a good thing in the world?

Chapter 48: Free Admission is an Investment

"I have a rough understanding of your situation; Teacher Liu has spoken to me about it before!"

"I am just like him—someone who cherishes talent!"

"Your martial arts talent is worthy of free admission. However, I am not the one who makes the final decision for the Martial Arts Hall; I need to apply to the Hall, but I don't think it will be a problem!"

"The main thing now is you. If you are willing, I will apply to the Hall later..."

Yang Yong added with a smile.

If he could Cultivate at the Martial Arts Hall for free, Lin Yi would naturally be willing.

Given his current Qi and blood value, as well as his martial arts Realm.

With three months, if he spent his days immersed in the Martial Arts Hall and went out for Monster Hunting at night.

Reaching the 2-Star Realm would absolutely be no problem.

Even, Lin Yi might have a chance to push towards 3-Star.

If he could reach the 3-Star Realm before the Martial Arts Exam, he might even be able to skip the Martial Arts Exam process altogether.

He could freely choose any Martial Arts University in the New District.

This is more than just good talent; more than just being a Genius.

He is practically a Prodigy.

As a high school senior, reaching the 3-Star Realm?

Even those who are called the pride of heaven wouldn't dare to think like that.

Lin Yi had no reason to refuse.

"If the Martial Arts Hall is truly willing to let me enroll for free, I am willing!"

Lin Yi replied with a firm gaze.

Having received his answer, Yang Yong smiled and nodded.

"Good, as long as you agree, leave the rest to me..."

"Coach Yang!"

Just as he finished speaking, Lin Yi quickly interjected.

"I have always believed that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Even if I have talent and a bright future, you and the Martial Arts Hall wouldn't let me enroll for free so easily, right?"

"Are there any other requirements? It's better to clarify them in advance!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yong was slightly taken aback.

He hadn't expected the student sitting in front of him to be so cautious.

If it were anyone else, and at Lin Yi's age, being able to come to the Martial Arts Hall to train for free without spending a penny, they would probably have been so happy they had forgotten about all this.

However, although there was a smile on Lin Yi's face, he did not lose himself like other peers.

Instead, there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Regarding Lin Yi's question, Yang Yong smiled and said, "That's right, there is no free lunch in the world. Letting you enroll for free is naturally not that simple!"

"Personally, just like Teacher Liu Song, it's purely because I cherish talent!"

"None of us wants a student with such high talent as you to be buried.

Life in the Old District is already very difficult, so we naturally hope that more gifted Martial Artists will emerge to clear out those Yao Beasts sooner and break the barrier between the New District and the Old District!"

"Of course, this is just out of personal sentiment!"

"Secondly, for the Martial Arts Hall, it is an investment!"

"An investment?"

Lin Yi asked curiously.

Yang Yong nodded gently, "That's right, it's an investment!"

"Have you heard of the Martial Arts Alliance?"

"Martial Arts Alliance? Never heard of it!"

Lin Yi shook his head.

He really had never heard of the Martial Arts Alliance.

Not only him, but even the people around him had never mentioned anything about the Martial Arts Alliance.

However, Yang Yong was not at all surprised by his answer.

Instead, he smiled and nodded, "The Martial Arts Alliance headquarters is in the New District and manages all the Martial Artists in the country!"

"Whether it's Martial Arts Halls, Martial Arts schools, or Martial Arts Universities, they are all under the unified management of the Martial Arts Alliance!"

"In other words, if you are able to get into a Martial Arts University in the future, you will have to have your records filed with the Martial Arts Alliance!"

"Your school will benefit, and our Martial Arts Hall will also benefit!"

"As for what this benefit is, I cannot tell you!"

"Therefore, this is naturally an investment in you, an investment that can be exchanged equally!"

"As long as you can successfully get into a Martial Arts University, the Martial Arts Hall will receive a return!"

After a long while, Lin Yi nodded.

The doubts in his heart were somewhat resolved.

"Coach Yang, I understand now. I'll go back out and continue sparring with them!"

After saying this, Lin Yi stood up.

Yang Yong smiled and nodded, continuing to reassure him, "Coming to the Martial Arts Hall for free has no downsides for you.

Furthermore, you can rest assured that the Martial Arts Hall will not do anything to make things difficult for you or harm you!"

"Mm, I understand!"

Lin Yi nodded and walked out of the office.

Just as he closed the door, the smile on Yang Yong's face gradually disappeared.

He turned around, looked at the painting hanging behind him, and fell into deep thought.

He didn't hang this painting here on purpose.

Rather, he had hung it up ever since he arrived at this office.

However, over the years, many students have come to his office.

But Lin Yi is the only one who has truly been able to connect his mind with this painting.

Even Zhou Qi couldn't do it.

This shows just how terrifying Lin Yi's talent is.

Especially when he just returned from outside, he discovered that two types of light beams were entwining around Lin Yi's body.

One was blood-red, and the other was golden runes.

The two seemed to be colliding fiercely around Lin Yi's body.

"This situation has never happened before.

What exactly are the golden runes on Lin Yi's body?"

Yang Yong's brows furrowed tightly.

He stared at the painting for a long time but was unable to connect his mind with it like Lin Yi.

"Sigh, I'm still lacking that bit of affinity!"
