As expected, the A-level bodyguard from Golden Sword Security Company was a mid-stage Ming Jin martial artist.

After exchanging blows with an A-level bodyguard a few times, Lin Yun was able to determine the bodyguard's martial arts level.

There is a clear difference between martial artists and ordinary people.

An ordinary person practicing martial arts could easily defeat two or three other ordinary people; that's about the level of a D-level security guard or bodyguard from Golden Sword Security Company.

If I strengthen my body further, I can easily take on five or six ordinary people, which is about the same as the level C security guards and bodyguards of Jinjian Security Company.

However, it becomes very difficult for ordinary people to reach those higher levels.

Aside from a few exceptionally gifted individuals, only martial artists who undergo a physical transformation can achieve this.

A physical transformation occurs, marking the initial stage of Ming Jin (明劲), officially entering the realm of a martial artist.

Two physical transformations are required to reach the mid-stage of Ming Jin, which is the realm Lin Yun has reached.

No, it's not that you become a martial artist of a certain level simply because you reach a certain level of strength or speed.

A martial artist's physical transformation is comprehensive.

Strength, speed, reaction time, and so on...

The speed of a martial artist in the early stage of Ming Jin is not even as fast as some long-distance runners, and their strength is not as great as some weightlifters. However, their combat power, under the same martial arts skills, definitely surpasses that of ordinary long-distance runners and weightlifters!

This is the effect of combining all aspects of physical fitness!

When two martial artists exchange blows, it is easy to sense each other's skill level.

According to his master, martial artists possess an aura that can be sensed by those with keen senses when they make a move. Only by breaking through to the Dark Force realm can one suppress this aura and make it imperceptible to ordinary martial artists during a normal fight.

The more the fight went on, the more alarmed the A-level bodyguard who was fighting Lin Yun became.

Because, from his initial tentative move to his full-force attack, his opponent always gave him the feeling of being in complete control.

In addition, the opponent had fought two matches before, and should have been exhausted in terms of physical strength and energy, which made him suspect that the opponent's martial arts level was higher, but he just hadn't sensed it.

Mid-stage Ming Jin... and beyond that, it's late-stage Ming Jin.

The other person looks to be only in their early twenties. If they are truly at the late stage of Ming Jin, their talent is simply too amazing.

It's likely that even ordinary martial arts families and sects couldn't cultivate such a disciple.

Actually, this Class A bodyguard was overthinking it.

Lin Yun was indeed only at the mid-stage of Ming Jin, but he had taken the Hundred-Day Foundation Building Pill, and now the pill was taking effect. After fighting two battles, Lin Yun's physical condition not only did not decline, but actually improved slightly. Lin Yun also purchased a cultivation technique for absorbing and refining spiritual energy, which generated a trace of spiritual power in his mind space.

This meant that although Lin Yun's physical stats didn't increase much, his reaction time far surpassed that of a typical mid-stage Ming Jin martial artist. This increase in reaction speed alone allowed Lin Yun's strength to surpass that of the vast majority of mid-stage Ming Jin martial artists.

Lin Yun didn't know this at first either.

The two B-level security guards in front were relatively weak, so Lin Yun didn't go all out and didn't notice them much.

However, as Lin Yun continued to fight with this A-level bodyguard, he also discovered...

At first, Lin Yun was a little unaccustomed to his current reaction speed, but gradually, he became more and more comfortable, and his battles with this A-level bodyguard became more and more effortless.

During this process, Lin Yun was very happy and for a moment forgot to stop fighting with this A-level bodyguard.

In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged more than a hundred blows.

At first, this A-level bodyguard was able to fight Lin Yun to a standstill, but in the end, the A-level bodyguard was completely at a disadvantage.

This fight was very exciting.

Around them, some employees of Jinjian Security Company, who were initially hesitant to watch, couldn't bear to miss such a spectacular fight. As a few people gradually approached, the majority of them came closer, and eventually, most of the employees on the entire floor gathered around to watch.

The scene was bustling with activity.

"This young man is amazing! That's Coach Yuan, one of our company's A-level bodyguards, and he's actually at a disadvantage..."

"It is said that Coach Yuan's martial arts realm is the mid-stage of Ming Jin, and this boy's martial arts realm should be the late-stage of Ming Jin, right?"

"Late stage of Ming Jin... How old is this boy...?"

"Martial artists... I really envy them... I want to become a martial artist too... but no matter how much I practice, it's useless..."

"Who wouldn't want to? It's just too difficult. My coach said that to become a martial artist, you not only need long-term practice, but also talent..."

Some of the onlookers, employees of Jinjian Security Company, were discussing the matter.

"What are you all doing standing around here? Don't you know the company rules? Look at the time! Don't you want to sleep tonight?" Just then, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside the crowd. A pretty girl of about twenty years old stood there with a serious face.

"Young Miss..."

"Young Miss..."

Upon hearing the sound, the onlookers were all startled and quickly dispersed. Some of the employees who were near the girl cautiously called out.

"Young Miss".

"Young Miss".

Beside the arena, two B-level security guards who had sparred with Lin Yun, and the A-level bodyguard who hadn't yet sparred with Lin Yun, also shouted.

The girl nodded slightly without speaking, her gaze fixed on the ring.

At this moment, Lin Yun on the arena also snapped out of his daze and noticed the situation around him. He seized an opportunity, jumped back, broke out of the battle, looked at the A-level master bodyguard opposite him, and cupped his hands, saying, "Brother Yuan, your strength is very impressive. I'm really sorry, I got itchy and fought for a while. Hmm, would you be willing to be recruited by me?"

"As long as the company agrees, I have no problem." Seeing that Lin Yun finally stopped, Yuan Zhantang breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Yun, and smiled.

They are Class A bodyguards. When they are not working, they serve as instructors for the company, but the salary is less. Today, he is one of the people on duty. Many of the employees around him are his students. If he loses to Lin Yun in front of these students, he will lose face big time.

"Young Miss".

Then, Yuan Zhantang looked at the pretty girl by the ring, nodded slightly, and greeted her.

Lin Yun also looked at the girl.

Just now, he heard many people around him calling out to the girl, and their tone seemed to indicate that they were somewhat afraid of her.

Moreover, "Young Miss" is such a strange title.

It seems to be a term used by servants in large families on television to refer to the head of the household's daughter.

However, upon closer inspection, Lin Yun was quite amazed.

What a beautiful girl! Her figure and appearance are in no way inferior to Xia Qingqing's. Moreover, this girl seems to possess a more spiritual quality than ordinary girls, especially her beautiful eyes, which seem to speak volumes and are full of intelligence. At this moment, those eyes are staring at him curiously.
