583: Section 583
And the gilded sign above it with the words 'Xinxing Martial Arts Hall' printed on it.
His eyes were filled with memories.
He remembered when he first came here.
The longing and envy he felt for this place, and how he had once wanted to become a student of this Martial Arts Hall.
Striving for the Martial Arts Exam, working hard to get into a Martial Arts University.
A sparring session became his ticket to stay here.
Teacher Liu Song's recommendation and Coach Yang Yong's appreciation.
Allowed him the fortune of becoming a Disciple of the Martial Arts Hall.
And the kind where tuition was waived.
The bits and pieces of his time Cultivating in the Martial Arts Hall were like sealed memories, rushing back madly.
Zhou Qi, Sun Tao, Hu Quan, Li Xuewen...
Their smiling faces, from strangers to acquaintances.
During those few months in the Martial Arts Hall, they had trained together and strived for a goal together.
They had even encouraged each other and shed sweat together.
In the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed.
The Martial Arts Hall hadn't changed.
It was still that impressive-looking entrance.
Outside the main gate, there was a banner advertising for new students.
"Ordinary student 1599/class, buy ten get one free, additional martial arts uniform included..."
"Gold Medal Coach course 2999..."
Looking at those familiar slogans, the corners of Lin Yi's mouth lifted involuntarily.
Just as he was focused on looking at the slogans and the familiar names of the coaches.
A student wearing a martial arts uniform walked out.
The moment he saw Lin Yi, he hurriedly walked over with a smile and said: "Classmate, do you want to join our Martial Arts Hall?"
"Our Xinxing Martial Arts Hall is second to none in Xinghai City. Many students who studied here have basically all been admitted to the Martial Arts University in the New District!"
"Oh right, there is also the most amazing Senior Brother, who is the Martial Exam Top Scholar of the entire district... I'm not bragging, but he was admitted from our place!"
"Oh?"
Lin Yi smiled and glanced at him: "Is your Martial Arts Hall really that impressive?"
"That's right... To tell you the truth, our Martial Arts Hall's Gold Medal Coach, Yang Yong, is recognized as the best coach in the entire district. Oh right, that Martial Exam Top Scholar was taught by Coach Yang Yong. Tell me, is that impressive or what?"
Lin Yi nodded with a smile: "Is Coach Yang Yong here?"
"He is, classmate. Are you looking to sign up for Coach Yang Yong's class?" The student's eyes lit up instantly.
The curve of his mouth was almost uncontrollable.
Lin Yi chuckled and nodded: "Please take me to find him!"
"Okay, okay, okay. Follow me inside, I'll take you there right now!"
Thus, the two of them walked into the Martial Arts Hall one after the other.
Just after walking in, Lin Yi noticed that the two receptionists at the front desk had been replaced.
They were no longer the two girls from last year.
The student from before walked up to the counter and briefly explained the situation to them.
Seeing the two receptionists nod, the student turned back and said: "Classmate, follow me. I'll take you directly to the training hall to see the environment!"
"You don't need to be in a rush to make a choice; you can take a look around here first!"
"If you're satisfied, it won't be too late to decide then!"
The student talked on and on about the benefits of the Martial Arts Hall.
The moment they stepped into the elevator.
Lin Yi couldn't help but ask: "Do you guys have students coming out to solicit customers for the Martial Arts Hall now?"
"Ah? This... Hehe, actually, that's not the case!"
He scratched his head, his face flushing slightly as he said: "Actually, the reason I can study here is thanks to Coach Yang Yong. He saw that I had decent talent and specifically applied for free admission to the hall for me!"
"Which means I don't have to spend money, he lets me study here for free!"
"It's just that I feel a bit bad about it, so I thought if I could help the Martial Arts Hall bring in one more student, it would make me feel better!"
"However, I'm not asking for your sympathy!"
"If you think this place isn't good, or you feel Coach Yang Yong isn't a fit for you, you can still choose otherwise. I definitely won't force you..."
Afraid that Lin Yi might misunderstand something, he quickly changed his tone.
Lin Yi, however, smiled and nodded.
When he heard that familiar 'beep' sound.
The elevator door opened slowly.
The two of them stepped out of the elevator one after the other.
Lin Yi looked at the familiar training hall before him, the training equipment that hadn't changed at all, and the ring set up in the middle.
Scene after scene of memories flooded back once again.
It seemed that in every corner, he could see the shadows of the past.
Especially that ring; it was the place he used the most when he was at the Martial Arts Hall.
Because his Realm was considered the highest here.
And he possessed rich practical combat experience.
Therefore, Lin Yi became that 'long-term sparring partner' Disciple.
Whenever he had free time, he would be with Shen Mengyi, Zhou Qi, as well as Sun Tao and Hu Quan.
Taking turns to spar on the ring.
And helping them point out their shortcomings, telling them how to correct them...
The ring was still there today.
It was just that those familiar faces were all gone.
"Classmate, wait here for a moment, I'll go find Coach Yang Yong!"
After the student finished speaking, Lin Yi smiled and nodded.
Following that, he ran into the training hall.
Before long, he saw a man following him, walking toward the elevator.
And when the man looked over from a distance.
Suddenly, his expression changed slightly.
Then he quickened his pace and walked toward Lin Yi.
"Coach Yang Yong, he is the one I was talking about..."
Before the student could finish introducing him.
Yang Yong had already reached him and punched Lin Yi on the shoulder.
With a face full of smiles, he said: "How come you brat are back?"
"And you didn't call ahead to let me know?"
In Yang Yong's smile, there was also a hint of excitement.
This left the student beside them completely dumbfounded; his brain couldn't react for a moment.
Lin Yi smiled and said: "I'm back for a business trip, and stopped by the Martial Arts Hall to see you!"
"Coach Yang, you are still the same as before, not much has changed!"
"Still the same? My hair has gone gray... If I hadn't just dyed it yesterday, you would definitely see me looking several years older today!"
"Hair went gray?"
Lin Yi was startled and quickly took a look at Yang Yong's hair.
Yang Yong chuckled and nodded, seemingly having a lot of things he wanted to say to Lin Yi.
However, he immediately turned his head to look at the student from before.
"Chu Liang, haven't you always wanted to meet your idol?"
"The person in front of you is the Lin Yi you've been pining for. How can you not recognize your own idol when you see him?"
"Ah?"
The student was completely stunned.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
He looked at Lin Yi carefully a few more times, so excited that he couldn't quite believe it.
"You, are you really Senior Brother Lin Yi? Our district's Martial Exam Top Scholar?"
Chu Liang said, his face full of shock and disbelief.
Lin Yi chuckled and nodded: "Guaranteed genuine!"
"Oh my god, I, I actually met my idol..." Chu Liang shouted excitedly.
His shout caused quite a stir.
