Sanjiang County.
Yan Zhengtong slowly performed a set of punches, feeling the increasingly rich and vibrant true energy within his body, and nodded in satisfaction.
After advancing to the Innate Realm, it's like entering a completely different world compared to the Acquired Realm.
He had initially felt his bones and blood stiffening and his body gradually declining, but now his flesh and blood were thriving, radiating boundless vitality.
Compared to before he advanced to the Innate Realm, he seemed to have become thirty years younger.
His "Yanzheng Martial Arts School" thus surpassed all other martial arts schools in Sanjiang County, becoming a place that everyone in the county would beg to enter.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall those days.
"Dugu Wang!"
Back then, he broke through his bottleneck and glimpsed the secrets of innate abilities after a duel with Dugu Wang, the leader of Lianjiang Water Village, on the Lanjiang River.
"Master Yan, the young master of the Wang family has been kneeling outside for three days. Should we continue to ignore him?"
"That kid is weak and frail; he's not cut out for martial arts at all. Why bother with him?"
Yan Zhengtong sneered, "Do you think this Yan Zheng Martial Arts School is still the same as before, where you can just come and go as you please just because you have a few taels of silver in your pocket?"
"Teacher of Words—"
Another martial arts student ran in.
"What's wrong? Why are you all so flustered!"
Yan Zhengtong snorted coldly and his gaze fell on the disciple.
Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from the master, the disciple broke out in a cold sweat.
"Replying to the Master, there was indeed a young man..."
"Does he want to become an apprentice and study? What is his physical condition and how much money does he have? Let him follow the procedures."
The eldest disciple standing beside Yan Zhengtong sensibly took over the conversation.
"No...Senior Brother..."
The disciple lowered his head and mumbled, "That person is here to challenge us."
"Heh..."
A low chuckle escaped from Yan Zhengtong's throat.
It's that same old cliché plot again. Are these kinds of things all the young men just starting out in the world thinking?
"Master Yan, I'll take care of it. You should rest well."
Yan Zhengtong was very satisfied with his eldest disciple who had taken the initiative and nodded.
"Yes, find out where they come from. If they're from a big city, politely persuade them to leave and don't make things difficult for them."
The eldest disciple nodded and left.
What if you don't have any connections or background?
The teacher didn't finish his sentence, but he already knew what to do.
Just like before.
Those without connections or backing should have their limbs broken and be thrown out.
Let them know that if they want to rise to fame by stepping on the footsteps of their predecessors, they should be prepared to pay a heavy price.
"Old and young, make some tea."
The disciple who had just come to report understood immediately and quickly began to brew tea.
While brewing tea, he called out to the senior martial arts master who had already stepped outside:
"Senior Brother, I've brewed some tea and am waiting for you. Drink it while it's hot when you come back."
"Splash!"
In just a moment, before the young disciples of the martial arts school had even finished washing their teapots, the wooden wall collapsed, and a figure flew in and tumbled in.
"The senior brother's gone crazy, he threw the person in the wrong direction..."
The young disciple was joking when he was suddenly dumbfounded.
The one who crashed through the wooden wall and flew in, landing at his feet and groaning in pain, could only be his senior brother.
In this battle, the eldest disciple was defeated, and defeated so quickly.
The guy who came to challenge us this time is so fierce?
Yan Zhengtong stood up.
His face was extremely grim, and he placed the cup in his hand back on the wooden table in front of him, where it instantly turned to dust.
There was no need to ask the senior disciple on the ground, because the person who caused all this had already strode in from outside.
"Lin Ce of the Four Seas Escort Agency seeks guidance from Master Yan."
As the voice came, a boy was already standing in front of Yan Zhengtong.
Behind the boy, a large crowd gathered, looking on in shock.
A boy who had been kneeling on the steps outside the door was now looking into the martial arts hall with a shocked expression.
"He's really here to challenge us?"
The boy felt as if thunderbolts were exploding in his heart, and his lips and tongue became dry.
The thought that he had almost gotten into an argument with the other person because he mistakenly thought they were trying to cut in line made him break out in a cold sweat.
Whether the boy can successfully challenge the martial arts school is another matter, but just looking at the level of his ability to kick the senior brother of Yanzheng Martial Arts School flying with one kick, he could kill me without even needing a second finger.
"So it's Young Master Lin."
Yan Zhengtong came forward and stood in front of Lin Ce.
"Sihai Escort Agency? If I remember correctly, it should be under the command of Old Escort Yang. I met Old Escort Yang once in my early years."
"No."
Lin Ce shook his head. "The Four Seas Escort Agency has changed its leadership. I am the head of the escort agency now."
"So it's Chief Escort Lin. I've been rude."
Yan Zhengtong clasped his hands in a fist and smiled.
"But what offense have I committed in the past? I would like to apologize to Chief Escort Lin in advance."
As the head of the number one martial arts school in Sanjiang County, Yan Zhengtong adopted a very humble attitude.
However, Lin Ce was completely unmoved.
He grinned, revealing a mouthful of bright white teeth.
"No, I have no grudge against Master Yan. I have come here simply to learn from and exchange skills with you."
Lin Ce clasped his hands in a fist salute, assuming a fighting stance, and faced Yan Zhengtong.
"Master Yan, please enlighten me."
Yan Zhengtong narrowed his eyes slightly.
He rose from humble beginnings to establish the top martial arts school in Sanjiang County, and he always treats capable people with kindness and gentleness.
But as a martial artist with innate talent, he naturally possessed a corresponding sense of pride.
"Young people these days are really interesting."
Yan Zhengtong stood with his hands behind his back, smiling slightly, "May I ask which school Chief Escort Lin studied under?"
Lin Ce smiled, understanding what the other party meant.
"I've been practicing on my own, and I'm not a disciple of any sect, so Master Yan doesn't need to worry."
"Is that really true?"
"Absolutely true."
"Then die!"
As he spoke, Yan Zhengtong took a deep breath, and his body immediately radiated a soft glow.
True Qi!
This is a technique unique to innate martial artists.
Lin Ce felt a sense of relief.
The information I heard from Sect Master Sun seems to be correct. Although Yan Zhengtong has broken through to the Innate Realm, he is still within the sixth rank.
The onlookers gasped in surprise and took a few steps back.
"Wait a minute."
"What, is there anything else you want to say?"
"I'm speaking for the best interests of Master Yan. Why don't we go to the training ground? Even if we don't hurt anyone here, it wouldn't be good if we broke some tables and chairs."
"snort."
Yan Zhengtong sneered, "You're not good enough to beat me."
He wasn't making this statement without any basis.
From the moment he first saw Lin Ce, he was on high alert and extremely focused.
However, judging from his keen senses as a martial artist, Lin Ce in front of him showed absolutely no sign of having cultivated "true qi".
There was absolutely no trace of the "true qi needles" being emitted from the opponent's body surface.
Yan Zhengtong burst out laughing.
You're making a mountain out of a molehill. What's so strange about this? It's normal for teenagers and young men in their twenties not to have mastered "true qi." It would be abnormal if they had.
"Come on, I'll give you three moves, so you won't say that a senior in the martial arts world is bullying a junior like you."
"Good."
The next moment, Lin Ce pounced like a ferocious tiger.
Yan Zhengtong instinctively crossed his arms in front of his chest in a defensive posture.
However, an irresistible force struck him, and he lost his balance and flew backward.
The "true qi needles" that were about to be released all over his body did not seem to have much effect on the other party.
"Whoosh~ Boom~"
The room behind them was smashed and collapsed, and all the beloved items inside were broken.
Yan Zhengtong's heart was bleeding, and he shouted at the top of his lungs amidst the smoke and dust.
"Wait a minute, let's go to the training ground—"
