Outside the training ground, Yan Zhengtong was taken aback.
He genuinely hadn't considered that.
Lin Ce has been beating around the bush for so long just so that I can teach martial arts to everyone in the escort agency?
Surely not?
Considering the opponent's strength, Yan Zhengtong couldn't understand it at all.
Would someone who has already reached the innate level care about these things?
Despite not understanding it, Yan Zhengtong was still unwilling to let go of this opportunity to befriend the other party.
"I run a martial arts school, it's my old profession, there's nothing wrong with that."
He paused for a moment, then said:
"However, I'm not sure which type of martial arts to choose?"
His questioning gaze fell on Lin Ce's face, clearly leaving the choice to him.
The onlookers in the martial arts world didn't say much about Yan Zhengtong's continued low-key demeanor.
The fact that ten teenagers had simultaneously advanced to the ninth rank in the training ground was still deeply shocking them.
As a result, the entire Sihai Escort Agency was shrouded in a thick fog of mystery in their minds.
"If you ask me, I'd say I'd choose the 'Crimson Dragon Spear Technique'?"
"That's impossible!"
Yan Zhengtong, who had already made up his mind to befriend the Sihai Escort Agency, almost jumped up because of Lin Ce's words.
There's no other reason than that Lin Ce's demands were simply too excessive.
What is the concept of "Crimson Dragon Spear Technique"?
That was a martial art at the innate level, which Yan Zhengtong obtained by chance and regarded as his most treasured trump card.
At this moment, Lin Ce asked him to hand over this treasure and pass it on to the young men of the escort agency.
This is no different from cutting flesh off his body.
Even the top disciple of Yan Zheng Martial Arts School had never enjoyed such treatment, nor had he ever been taught a move or two of the "Crimson Dragon Spear Technique".
"Oh, is that not allowed?"
Lin Ce seemed unaware of what his request represented, and his tone remained nonchalant.
Yan Zhengtong almost suffocated from his breath.
But he quickly recovered.
He knew very well why he had come.
Offending Lin Ce would be extremely unwise. Now that we've already humbled ourselves, we can't afford to let things fall apart at the last minute.
"Chief镖头, it's not that I'm unwilling, but the 'Crimson Dragon Spear Technique' is a martial art at the innate level. With their current level, they simply cannot master it. Forcing them to practice it would be more harmful than beneficial."
Carefully observing Lin Ce's expression, Yan Zhengtong said again:
"I also have other martial arts techniques, such as the 'Shadow-Sweeping Wind Leg Technique,' which has nine levels and is most suitable for the current situation. I wonder what the Chief Escort thinks?"
"So, Master Yan means that we'll teach the 'Crimson Dragon Spear Technique' once everyone catches up with the pace? Okay, that's decided then."
Lin Ce clapped his hands and nodded in satisfaction.
"Oh, right, that 'Shadow-Sweeping Wind Leg Technique' is perfect for the moment, Escort Yan, let's begin."
Yan Zhengtong sighed inwardly, wondering when he had ever promised to teach the "Crimson Dragon Spear Technique" later.
However, considering that the matter had been dealt with anyway, he didn't plan to say anything more for the time being.
As for the claim that the level has been improved, that's all empty talk.
I've only been an honorary bodyguard for a maximum of six months. Could it be that within six months, all the young men in the Four Seas Escort Agency could improve to the level where they can practice the "Crimson Dragon Spear Technique"?
That's innate.
Although he escaped being taught the "Crimson Dragon Spear Technique," Yan Zhengtong still couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken.
"Shadow-Sweeping Wind Leg" is a nine-level acquired martial art, which is one of the most precious types of martial arts besides innate martial arts.
Even within the Yanzheng Martial Arts Academy, only a very small number of core disciples receive instruction.
Now it's being taught to the young men of the escort agency like it's commonplace, right under everyone's noses.
"Chief镖头, this..."
Yan Zhengtong looked troubled and glanced around.
Lin Ce understood immediately, cupped his hands in greeting to those around him, and politely asked the onlookers to leave.
These people were all familiar with the rules of the martial arts world and knew that it was time for Yan Zhengtong to teach martial arts. Although they were still curious, they had no choice but to avoid him.
However, the mere sight of ten teenagers simultaneously advancing to the ninth rank in the training ground was enough to make them feel that their trip was worthwhile.
They had heard that the Sihai Escort Agency was recruiting escorts again.
Many people quickened their pace and left, intending to inform their close relatives and younger generations.
Some are even already thinking about how to pull strings.
The purpose was to send the younger generation of the family to the Four Seas Escort Agency.
It seems somewhat ridiculous that such a great deal of effort was only for the position of a mere porter.
However, those who witnessed the scene at the Four Seas Escort Agency's training ground clearly had different opinions.
Not long ago, weren't those teenagers just scouts?
The current trolley may very well transform into a promising entry-level martial artist in the near future.
All you need to do is send your descendants in, and you're guaranteed to gain a rank-one martial artist. It's a sure-fire way to make money; no fool would miss it.
Yan Zhengtong's thoughts were different from those of these people.
He just wanted to understand the reason for the rapid development of Sihai Escort Agency.
At this moment, being among them, as an "instructor" teaching martial arts to many young people, he felt a sense of privilege.
Whether or not one can "get the moon" (i.e., succeed) depends on oneself.
"...Therefore, this leg technique emphasizes agility and skillful use of force. Although it can be practiced before reaching the ninth rank, it is extremely difficult to grasp its essence before reaching the ninth rank."
Yan Zhengtong looked at the ninth-rank youths in the queue and smiled coldly, "Even if they become ninth-rank martial artists and have external strength, it will still take at least three months to learn this extremely complicated leg technique."
At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his original profession, becoming the martial arts school master whom his disciples both respected and feared.
On the training ground, many young people had already begun practicing this leg technique by kicking their legs.
Yan Zhengtong stood steadily to the side, waiting for the boy who had run into a wall to come and ask for advice, and then he would reprimand him with a cold face.
Isn't that what teaching students is all about—urging them on and on, scolding them repeatedly?
Unfortunately, no teenagers have come to ask for advice yet.
"Are you worried about your own reputation?"
Yan Zhengtong glanced at Lin Ce beside him, then looked at the group of teenagers. The goodwill he had felt earlier was gradually diminishing.
Having worked his way up from the bottom, Yan Zhengtong had the utmost contempt for people who were obsessed with saving face.
So, does this phenomenon also exist within the Four Seas Escort Agency?
Could it be that my coming here was a mistake in itself, and that there's nothing I can actually learn from the Four Seas Escort Agency?
"Yan Guan...镖师 (bodyguard/escort)".
As he was lost in thought, a voice startled him awake.
"Look, is this leg technique like this? I think I can barely grasp it."
Who is so arrogant and unrealistic?
Yan Zhengtong felt a surge of anger, but then he realized that he wasn't in his own martial arts school.
His anger quickly subsided, and then he saw the person in front of him clearly.
Then, he couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.
Shang Shaofeng.
This boy left a deep impression on him.
In the battle against the hundred-man team of the First Escort Agency, it was this young man who led the group, fighting steadily and surely.
Previously, he had led many teenagers in practicing boxing techniques, and they did a very good job.
Such excellence is comparable only to Yan Zheng's most favored disciple at the martial arts academy.
Yan Zhengtong could tell that this young man's strength was not far from the eighth rank.
Logically speaking, a young man like this shouldn't be so ambitious or prone to deception, right?
"Really? Show me how it's done."
With doubts in mind, Yan Zhengtong decided to take a look first.
