DOOR-TO-DOOR

After politely dismissing the two young ladies who seemed interested in him, Wang Yi strolled over to the designated area for drinks and relaxation. The treatment for senior students differed from that of intermediate and low-level students. The setup resembled a cozy bar, where the martial arts gym provided free energy drinks to replenish the students' physical stamina.

Wang Yi grabbed a cup and filled it with water. Suddenly, he sensed someone approaching from behind and instinctively turned to face them.

"Huh?" Brother Sun clapped his palm against his forehead, wearing a surprised expression.

"Wang Yi, you've got impressive reaction speed," complimented Sun Ge.

"Hehe, Brother Sun, you flatter me. What's up?" Wang Yi replied.

"Just a gathering at Liji barbecue restaurant down the street. It's been a while since we all got together. Are you joining us?" Sun Ge asked.

The senior students at the martial arts gym shared similar backgrounds, so their relationships were mostly amicable. While such gatherings weren't a daily occurrence, they happened frequently enough.

Wang Yi tactfully responded, "Brother Sun, I want to stay and practice a bit more..."

"Hey, Wang Yi, you work hard every day, but remember to strike a balance between work and rest. After all, your body is your greatest asset. If you want to become a martial artist, you need to pay attention to scientific training methods," Sun Ge earnestly advised.

Wang Yi felt a bit dumbfounded, but he understood that Sun Ge meant well, so in the end, he didn't refuse.

After a while, the group of senior martial arts students preparing for a barbecue began gathering their belongings and headed downstairs. Even though it was nighttime, the martial arts courtyard remained bustling with students coming and going. As the group of senior students walked out together, others greeted them respectfully.

"Hello, Brother Sun."

"Brother Sun."

"Senior Brother Sun, where are you off to for some fun tonight?"

Surrounded by people, Brother Sun took the lead with a joyous expression on his face, reveling in the attention and adulation.

As the most skilled and popular senior student among the current batch, he relished being the center of attention, like the moon surrounded by stars.

Wang Yi, dressed in ordinary casual clothes, blended inconspicuously into the crowd.

"Rumble~~" A low rumble of airwaves caused everyone to look around.

At that moment, the entrance to Xtreme Martial Arts Gym closed, and a strikingly beautiful white sports car slowly pulled into the gym.

"What?"

"Is that an Aston Martin? Or the latest, most expensive thr-191 with flight capabilities?"

"That's the instructor's car!"

Upon recognizing the car, all the senior students at Xtreme Martial Arts Gym were shocked. They respectfully stepped aside, not daring to be impolite.

Wang Yi, like the other students, watched the gorgeous white sports car pass by with envy. Such a car would cost at least 36 million Chinese currency.

What a concept! With Wang Yi's current salary as a tutor, he couldn't afford a car like that in his lifetime!

The sports car parked at the entrance of the senior student teaching building, and the doors opened. Two men in loose martial arts uniforms emerged from inside. One was a bearded man with a tall, sturdy frame—Wang Yi's martial arts instructor, Shen Ying.

The man by his side was unfamiliar to Wang Yi. He had a slender figure, a thin face, and a prominent scar that gave him a sharp, blade-like appearance.

"This man is no ordinary warrior!" Although Wang Yi had yet to see him up close, he could sense the unmistakable aura of a battle-hardened warrior emanating from the instructor.

Every warrior has faced life and death trials, honing their skills through countless fights. The sheer presence exuded by this instructor set him apart from regular martial artists.

It was as if he was a seasoned warrior, a single glance enough to make people tremble in awe.

With a smile, Wang Yi observed the instructor and the lean man as they made their way into the high-level student teaching building, the stunning white sports car drawing attention from all around.

"Hey, that instructor's Aston Martin 191 is truly enviable. I wonder when I'll be able to afford one," exclaimed a senior student in the crowd.

"As long as we become warriors, the opportunity to own one will come," replied another student.

"Yes, let's become warriors!"

"Let's work hard! We all have a chance!"

The ambitious atmosphere ignited everyone's determination.

Wang Yi's heart brimmed with hope.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was May 18th.

That evening, Wang Yi arrived at Lin Youyu's community as per their agreement and the given address.

As he looked at the beautiful and secluded community ahead, with its exquisite luxury villas, Wang Yi couldn't help but sigh. While he had been surprised when he learned about Lin Youyu's wealthy family background, seeing it firsthand was still astonishing.

This villa community was likely the most luxurious in the entire Guqing District. In the era of base cities, with a population exceeding 200 million in Jiangnan alone, it was rare for the wealthy to reside in single-family villas.

Even if one had the means, status was not easily attained.

This indicated that Lin Youyu's family was truly extraordinary.

However, with his current strength, Wang Yi paid no mind to such matters.

At the entrance of the community stood security guards in black uniforms, emanating an imposing presence. Wang Yi's keen eyesight allowed him to perceive their impressive physical abilities. Though not on par with senior students, their prowess was evident.

"Hello, I have received an invitation to attend my classmate's birthday party," Wang Yi greeted the guards with a smile.

The security guards, both highly capable and courteous, responded, "May we know the name of your classmate and the specific residence?"

Wang Yi quickly provided the information.

"Please wait a moment."

Wang Yi didn't have to wait long as the security guards swiftly confirmed his details. After checking his ID and registering his visit, they politely smiled.

"Sir, you may enter."

Walking along the tree-shaded path in the community, Wang Yi muttered, "It's quite a hassle just to enter."

Gazing around, he admired the pleasant surroundings.

"But the environment here is truly exquisite. My parents would live a comfortable life in such a place."

Wang Yi didn't feel envious; he knew that soon, after passing the martial arts assessment, he would have access to even more.

On both sides of the road, dense bamboo stood in staggered rows. The gentle breeze rustled the leaves, casting a serene and natural ambiance.

"To reside in a place like this is pure bliss," Wang Yi contemplated.

Following the directions provided, Wang Yi quickly arrived at the specified address.

As he looked up, he beheld a three-story villa with white walls and red tiles. The combination of the bright white plaster walls and the light red roof tiles dazzled in the well-lit compound at night. Having lived in low-rent housing for over a decade, Wang Yi couldn't help but feel a touch of envy once again.
