Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Display of Power
"Your current level …" Yan Dashan was taken aback as he noticed Lin Yun's unusual confidence and the difference in his aura as he spoke.
"Master, I have already broken through to the Late Mingjin Stage," Lin Yun nodded and replied with a smile.
In reality, if he hadn't suppressed his stage, he would have already reached the Mingjin Peak.
He planned to walk the most difficult path of martial arts, so, he wasn't in a rush to breakthrough. The deeper he laid his foundation at the early stages, the greater his achievements would be in the future, and the easier it would be for him to train. There was no need for him to hurry.
Although he was at the Late Mingjin Stage, Lin Yun wasn't your average Late Mingjin martial artist.
With an uninterrupted supply of Hundred Day Foundation Pills, the Supreme Green Cloud alcohol, and his powerful mental strength, he quickly stabilized his status after the breakthrough. Even before he had learned any martial arts techniques, his strength was far superior to that of an average Late Mingjin martial artist.
After he had learned several martial arts, Lin Yun was confident that he could fight a typical peak Mingjin martial artist.
A Mid Mingjin, or some at the Early Mingjin Stage — he didn't truly consider them as worthy opponents.
"Good! Good! Good!" Yan Dashan exclaimed in surprise, continuously nodding his head.
Initially, he had said that it would be great if Lin Yun could break through to the Late Mingjin Stage before turning twenty-eight. He hadn't expected Lin Yun to achieve this at the age of twenty-three.
From eighteen to twenty-eight, that was 10 years.
From eighteen to twenty-three, that was 5 years.
Lin Yun's martial arts talent surpassed his original expectations by far.
Although he had never officially taken Lin Yun as his disciple, and Lin Yun was always a student, Lin Yun always respected his teacher and called him master. In his heart, he saw Lin Yun as his disciple. As a master, who wouldn't hope for their disciple to have a good talent and great achievements in the future?
"Senior brother Lin Yun has broken through to the Late Mingjin Stage?" Xing'er Lee couldn't believe her eyes as she looked at Lin Yun.
Late Mingjin stage…
Her master was also at the Late Mingjin Stage!
Once, when her master had demonstrated the strength of the Late Mingjin Stage, she had understood the formidable power it held!
According to her master, under normal circumstances, a Late Mingjin could fight two to three Mid Mingjin martial artists without any problem. If against ordinary people, he could deal with about fifty at once!
That Wang Jie, who now claimed to be the Immortal Origin County's top martial artist, was only at the Mid Mingjin Stage!
Now, Lin Yun had also broken through to the Late Mingjin Stage!
If he made a move against Wang Jie, wouldn't he easily defeat him?
As expected of Lin Yun!
As expected of the best student who had been personally guided by master!
Xing'er Lee was very excited and admired Lin Yun even more!
"Do you really wish to go to the Yinghao Martial Arts Hall?" After a moment of silence, Yan Dashan asked.
"Master, you once took great pains to teach Wang Jie, but he repaid your kindness with betrayal. Since you are unable to take action, it's only right that I, as your disciple, do it for you!" Lin Yun nodded, affirming his decision emphatically.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you practice your boxing. Help me up and let's head to the courtyard. I want to see you practice!" Yan Dashan nodded, saying.
He had been with Lin Yun for a long time. Having watched him grow up, Lin Yun understood his character very well. And he, too, understood Lin Yun's character.
He knew that it would be tough for him to discourage Lin Yun from doing something he had set his mind on.
"Alright!" Lin Yun nodded. He knew his master wanted to see his current strength.
Subsequently, he helped Yan Dashan stand up and they walked toward the courtyard together.
"Master's health…" During this process, Lin Yun became worried.
His mental strength was incredibly powerful, allowing him to sense things that ordinary people couldn't.
At this moment, as he held onto his master's arm, his powerful mental strength helped him subtly sense the weak state of his master's body.
Besides, this weakness seemed to be the result of a severe injury.
His master was a Late Mingjin martial artist. Ordinary illnesses couldn't possibly affect him so much.
Wang Jie's actions must have been truly ruthless!
Lin Yun squinted his eyes slightly.
Wang Jie, being someone his master once took as a student and treated as a disciple, was even more hateful for harming his master so cruelly!
Soon, Lin Yun helped Yan Dashan to a spot in the courtyard.
Originally, there was a chair in the courtyard, but Yan Dashan didn't sit down when Lin Yun asked him to. He said by standing, he could have a clearer view of Lin Yun's boxing practice.
"Hoo—Hoo—Hoo—"
Lin Yun started practicing his boxing rapidly after assuming a starting stance, creating a gust with each movement.
He did not use the boxing techniques he had purchased from the Cosmic Trading System, but rather those that Yan Dashan had taught him.
However, Lin Yun had already studied the techniques from the Cosmic Trading System. So much so, he didn't just study two or three of them, Lin Yun's understanding of the martial arts was profound. Even when he used the basic boxing technique taught by Yan Dashan, he exemplified an immense strength.
Punch after punch, potent with power, coupled with his agile footwork, made this set of boxing techniques appear even more refined.
Lin Yun had been practicing this set of boxing techniques since he was a child, for over a decade. In fact, in terms of power, the force he used when implementing these techniques was no less than that of the martial arts skills he learned from the Cosmic Trading System.
After all, those martial arts skills were just at the beginner's level.
He was extremely familiar with this set of boxing techniques.
With his profound understanding of martial arts, he had many insights from this set of boxing techniques he practiced since childhood, which led to his rapid improvement.
Yan Dashan, watching Lin Yun boxing, had his eyes getting brighter by the minute, and he kept nodding his head.
Clearly, he was very approving of the way Lin Yun was boxing now.
Moreover, he could tell that Lin Yun had indeed broken through to the Late Mingjin Stage.
"Good! Good! Good! Lin Yun, you've brought out the essence of this set of boxing techniques. Even when I was uninjured and practiced this technique, I did not do as well as you! It seems, these years, you have not only kept up your martial arts studies but have put in even more effort!" Once Lin Yun completed his set of boxing moves, Yan Dashan exclaimed with great delight.
Lin Yun's boxing was indeed impressive.
Xing'er Lee practiced this set of boxing techniques every day, but compared to the power displayed by Lin Yun, she was far behind. Watching Lin Yun box, she was spellbound. It was only when she heard Yan Dashan's praise that she snapped back to reality.
"Lin Yun performs this set of boxing techniques even better than Master?" Xing'er Lee expressed her shock.
No wonder she felt that Lin Yun's performance of this set was even better than how her master had demonstrated it to her…cough…stronger…
But her master… was her master after all!
Her master was now over fifty years old and must have practiced this set of boxing techniques for at least several decades. How long had Senior Brother Lin Yun been practicing? Not only had he broken through to the Late Mingjin Stage, but his boxing techniques were also better than their master's?
Gradually, Xing'er Lee seemed to understand what her master had always told her, that in the realm of martial arts, talent was extremely important.
Some talented people could enhance their skills very quickly. With the guidance of an enlightened master, in a few years, they could surpass many who had practiced martial arts their whole lives.
Senior Brother Lin Yun must be the martial arts genius that the master talked about!
Xing'er Lee was extremely jealous.
If only she could also become as good as Senior Brother Lin Yun.
No, she would be content to be just half as good as Senior Brother Lin Yun.
However, now, she was even more eager for Lin Yun to confront Wang Jie at the Yinghao Martial Arts Hall.
With the strong skills of Senior Brother Lin Yun, although there were many experts at the Yinghao Martial Arts Hall, they should not be his match, right?
"Master is too kind. You have been practicing this set of boxing techniques for decades, how can I compare with you?" Hearing his master's praise, Lin Yun was very happy, feeling as if he had returned to the time when he was learning martial arts with his master, but he spoke with great humility.
"Without talent, even if one practices for a lifetime, there won't be much progress. I barely broke through to the Late Mingjin Stage when I was thirty-nine and made no further progress. You broke through the Late Mingjin Stage at the age of twenty-three, with infinite potential.
Your talent in martial arts far exceeds mine, so it's natural that you surpass me in the boxing techniques," Yan Dashan said, shaking his head.
"Initially, I was a bit worried about you going to the Yinghao Martial Arts Hall. But now, I am not worried anymore. If you want to go, go. Just remember that we are living in a society governed by laws, so don't hit too hard," Yan Dashan paused, then continued.
People are all proud beings.
In this period, he was being calculated against and greatly repressed by his former "disciple". He too wanted a powerful "disciple" to stand up for him, didn't he?
Now, Lin Yun was the "disciple" he had been hoping for.
"Master, I understand," Lin Yun nodded slightly.
Then, Lin Yun turned to look at Xing'er Lee on the other side.
The Yinghao Martial Arts Hall was established in the previous two years, and he didn't know where it was.
"I'll take Senior Brother Lin Yun to the Yinghao Martial Arts Hall," sensing Lin Yun's intentions, Xing'er Lee quickly nodded, looking very excited.
"Thanks, Junior Sister," Lin Yun said, smiling slightly.
However, before that, there was one more thing to do.
Lin Yun turned around, looked at his master, and took out a pill bottle from his pocket.
"Master, this is a healing medicine I obtained outside. Take one now, and then one every day. It should be very beneficial for your injuries." Lin Yun handed the small bottle to his master and said.
The medicine was actually purchased from the Cosmic Trading System, based on his master's injuries.
Just a moment ago, this bottle of pellets was teleported over.
But obviously, he couldn't tell his master about this.
"Healing medicine? Good!" Yan Dashan looked at the medicine Lin Yun handed over, surprised for a moment, but he soon nodded.
Healing medicine is a must-have for many martial artists. Even several martial artists make one, but with varying effectiveness.
Some of the more effective healing medicines are expensive to make. He didn't know much about this area, so he hadn't taught Lin Yun about it.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yun actually had something like this. It seemed that his "disciple" had gone through a lot in these years.
Lin Yun helped his master to the bedroom, made him lie down on the bed, and poured a glass of water for him. Only after watching his master take a healing pill did he feel relieved. Then he and Xing'er Lee closed the door of the martial arts hall and set off together.
Before leaving, Lin Yun approached a young man from the Yinghao Martial Arts Hall who was not too far away.
