"Senior Brother Lin Yun is so domineering! With just one move, he knocked down a coach from Yinghao Martial Arts Hall, who hasn't been able to get back on his feet for a long while! He scared off a whole pack of Yinghao coaches who didn't dare to strike back!" Having seen all this, Xing'er Lee's eyes sparkled with admiration.

In the throng, the young man who had previously led Lin Yun turned entirely white at the sight.

At that moment, he dared not make any significant movements and only stood in one place, subtly hiding behind some people out of fear Lin Yun would spot him.

This young man was horrifyingly powerful.

He was very aware of how formidable Coach Lee was.

So powerful was Coach Lee, that he couldn't withstand a single blow from Lin Yun. If Lin Yun saw him and remembered his words, as well as his deeds against the Mountain Martial Arts Hall, and struck against him, he would face a dire predicament.

Earlier, when he was slammed against the wall by Lin Yun, he was still in pain, feeling as if several bones in his body had broken. He absolutely could not let Lin Yun lay hands on him again.

"Who dares to cause a commotion in Yinghao Martial Arts Hall?" Just then, a majestic voice resounded.

A middle-aged man slowly descended the stairs. The one who spoke was him.

Following closely behind him was a line of coaches clad in Yinghao uniform.

Among these coaches, one seemed to be the leader. The uniform he wore was also distinctive from the others, with gold trims adorning his black coach outfit.

This person was none other than Wang Jie.

Upon seeing him, Lin Yun recognized him instantly.

When Lin Yun left, Wang Jie was still twenty-one years old.

Despite five years passing, he hadn't changed much.

"That's the owner of the Yinghao Martial Arts Hall!"

"The chief coach has arrived! And Coach Guan, Coach Zhao, Coach Zhang, all of them are powerful coaches from our Yinghao Martial Arts Hall!"

Seeing this, many students who were familiar with Yinghao Martial Arts Hall exclaimed excitedly.

"This young man is remarkably powerful. I wonder if these coaches can handle him."

"The coach who just trained us is only a regular one. He didn't dare to talk big to the young man and would certainly not be his rival. However, these coaches are very formidable; they should be able to deal with this young man."

"If these coaches can handle this young man, I'll decide to upgrade my membership level and follow the training instructions of these coaches from now on!"

"Well, expecting the chief coach to personally train me is wishful thinking. Receiving occasional guidance from him is good enough. After all, the price isn't small if you want dedicated training from him. I'm sure this young man is not a match for the chief coach. Now, only the abilities of the other coaches following the chief coach would matter."

The students began discussing, full of anticipation or plans.

"Are you the owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall?" Hearing the conversations around him, Lin Yun looked at the leading middle-aged man and said indifferently.

"Indeed, I am the owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall. Young man, you have a lot of courage to challenge us like this," the middle-aged man said with a smile.

"You're quite bold yourself, daring to conspire against Mountain Martial Arts Hall!" Lin Yun retorted coldly.

"Are you from Mountain Martial Arts Hall?" The middle-aged man's eyes brightened upon hearing Lin Yun's words.

He knew very well that many people from Mountain Martial Arts Hall were extremely powerful.

While he was speaking, his gaze suddenly fell on a person squatting on the ground. Wasn't that person one of their coaches in Yinghao Martial Arts Hall?

It wasn't just a resemblance, it was indeed him!

That Coach Lee, who was rumored to have just broken into the Martial Arts Realm and increased his power significantly!

In just an instant, the middle-aged man confirmed the coach's identity.

Just a while ago, he had seen this coach in action, and indeed his power was impressive!

But now, he was severely beaten down by someone!

While the middle-aged man was shocked, he also felt a hint of excitement.

If this person could beat Coach Lee so badly, then his power had to be even greater.

If he could recruit him to Yinghao Martial Arts Hall, their overall strength would certainly improve significantly.

Moreover, considering the young man's age and handsome appearance... didn't he perfectly fit the image of the so-called fresh-faced celebrities?

Perhaps he could portray this young man as a superstar coach of their martial arts hall, thereby attracting female students to join Yinghao Martial Arts Hall.

In just a short time, he had already envisaged a role for Lin Yun.

It wasn't his unwarranted optimism, but because he had recently successfully recruited several powerful individuals from Mountain Martial Arts Hall to be their coaches.

Those whom he hadn't successfully poached only did not agree because of the price.

In this money-driven society, what is there that can't be negotiated with money?

These people were only former students of the Mountain Martial Arts Hall, so even if they joined Yinghao Martial Arts Hall, it cannot be considered as betrayal. There was no need for them to feel burdened psychologically.

He believed that if he spent enough money, he could recruit anyone.

The only consideration was whether the person was worth recruiting.

The power and image of this young man were precisely what Yinghao Martial Arts Hall was missing.

"I am from the Mountain Martial Arts Hall. What is it that you want to say?" Lin Yun said indifferently.

"I want to invite you to join Yinghao Martial Arts Hall. What do you think? The remuneration is negotiable," the middle-aged man replied with a smile.

"Senior Brother Lin Yun," Upon hearing these words from the middle-aged man, Xing'er Lee's face changed, and she quickly turned to look at Lin Yun, speaking anxiously.

Once, she, along with several other strong students from the Mountain Martial Arts Hall, had come to the Yinghao Martial Arts Hall to argue their stance. They had also been courted like this. Few had agreed on the spot, but many later switched to Yinghao Martial Arts Hall.

At that moment, those same individuals stood behind Wang Jie. She had just been looking at them, seething with anger.

In her eyes, their actions represented a whole new level of betrayal.

Right now, she was very worried that Lin Yun had also been won over by the owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall.

"If you want me to join your Yinghao Martial Arts Hall, I'm afraid it doesn't have what it takes," Lin Yun said coldly.

"In that case, Wang Jie, and all the other instructors, you may show this young man our strength," the middle-aged man said calmly, his face no longer smiling.

In persuading someone, you couldn't only use gentle ways.

Of course, if one could be lured in with a gentle method right away, so much the better.

But you needed to use tough measures too. Combining the carrot with the stick made convincing someone much easier.

That way, he could haggle over the price without them demanding too much.

He had used this method many times before.

Seeing how Lin Yun was talking, the middle-aged man immediately had the idea of letting Wang Jie and the other powerful coaches give him some training.

With Wang Jie present, this middle-aged man believed he could handle this easily.

He had complete faith in Wang Jie's strength.

This faith had been formed over a series of battles and experiences.

Boasting such power, he believed, was rare among people of the same age.

This young man merely looked to be in his twenties. Could he really be a match for Wang Jie?

"Is the chief coach going to step up now?"

"I'm so excited!"

"Seeing the owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall trying to entice this young man earlier, I thought there would be no fight this time..."

"I want to see how our chief coach fights. I hope he steps forward next..."

Seeing this, many spectators had their eyes shining, all voicing their thoughts.

However, the owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall and many of the students didn't notice that Wang Jie, along with some coaches behind him, were all wearing unpleasant expressions, staring at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun!

They never expected that the one coming to challenge Yinghao Martial Arts Hall would be Lin Yun!

Lin Yun had been away from the Immortal Origin County for five years!

They didn't anticipate that he would return so abruptly!

As everyone who studied at the Mountain Martial Arts Hall had also trained hard there for a long time, they were familiar with Lin Yun and knew his strength.

Wang Jie broke through to the Mid Mingjin Stage when he was twenty-three, three years ago!

Lin Yun, however, had reached the Mid Mingjin Stage five years ago when he was only eighteen!

At that time, Lin Yun's advancement shocked many in the Mountain Martial Arts Hall!

Five years later, how strong had Lin Yun become?

Even Wang Jie, who usually had a high level of self-confidence, felt somewhat apprehensive facing Lin Yun now.

Five years ago, when Lin Yun had just broken through to the Mid Mingjin Stage, he had challenged him, only to suffer a decisive defeat that had cast a long shadow over the following years.

Only after he himself had broken through to the Mid Mingjin Stage had this shadow significantly lightened.

"Wang Jie, Guan Donglin, Zhao WeiWu, Zhang Qiang, you're doing just great, aren't you? How dare you treat Master like that?" said Lin Yun, looking at Wang Jie and those behind him.

Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, Guan Donglin, Zhao WeiWu, and Zhang Qiang lowered their heads and kept silent.

"Lin Yun, you're back?" asked Wang Jie, taking a deep breath.

He had to ask. He was the chief coach of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall. If he dared not speak, he might as well give up his title. His future at Yinghao Martial Arts Hall would be over.

Besides, he had quickly adjusted his attitude towards Lin Yun.

Five years ago, Lin Yun had indeed been incredibly powerful, far surpassing him.

However, he had been tirelessly training martial arts for the past five years.

Three years ago, he had even broken through to the Mid Mingjin Stage, pushing himself even harder since then.

He had heard Yan Dashan mention that if Lin Yun could reach the Late Mingjin Stage before turning twenty-eight, it would already be incredibly impressive.

This meant that Lin Yun must still be in the Mid Mingjin Stage.

Both of them were at the Mid Mingjin Stage. Having trained his various combat skills hard these years, was his strength really inferior to that of Lin Yun?

Perhaps, this would be the battle to erase the shadow Lin Yun had left on him once and for all.

Thinking this, Wang Jie's eyes gradually brightened as he looked at Lin Yun, and the fear he felt towards Lin Yun significantly decreased.
