Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong
Chapter 713 Sports, All Gone Cold
Even so, it still attracted a lot of attention... It's already an anomaly that a Chinese man in his late teens or early twenties could go toe-to-toe with second-tier European professional players and not be at a disadvantage.
As soon as the transfer window opened, Lin Quan immediately cleared out his main roster.
All thirty Chinese players were promoted and secured their positions in Arlinna's first team.
Across the ocean, in China.
"Has the owner of Arlina gone mad? He sold off all his key players and replaced them with a whole bunch of Chinese."
"We're definitely going to be eliminated in the first round. Don't we know our own level?"
"Lin Quan is Countess Laura's husband and a top-notch ocean treasure hunter..."
"As long as it's not illegal and we have enough money, who cares what kind of trouble he causes?"
The news spread, and the internet erupted in uproar.
In their first match against the established powerhouse Chelsea, Arlinna secured a resounding 5-0 victory.
The pace of the games quickened, and the scores became increasingly lopsided. Winning by seven or eight goals became the norm, and winning by ten goals or more was not uncommon.
As the players played more, their teamwork improved, and their footwork became more solid.
Despite each player's buyout clause reaching 500 million US pounds, it still couldn't stop scouts from repeatedly inquiring and secretly probing.
Lin Quan handed over the two men and sent them away, bringing in one billion US pounds in his account.
The starting player's annual salary has been increased to three million pounds, and the substitute's salary to two million pounds.
When facing opponents who make bold statements before the match, Arlinas often play even more aggressively, winning by more than ten goals without even breaking a sweat.
The physical reserves, nerve reactions, and power precision of martial arts practitioners are already superior to those of ordinary athletes.
Broadcasting rights sold for record highs, home game tickets sold out early, and Lin Quan's account saw daily income figures as stable as clocking in.
Fighting on multiple fronts... leagues, cup competitions, continental events... Arlina didn't falter at all, crushing their opponents all the way.

At the end of the season, Lin Quan sold the entire Arlinna club for 5 billion US dollars.
Apart from the two players who have already transferred, there are still 28 Chinese players remaining in the team.
Five billion pounds divided among twenty-eight players amounts to less than two hundred million US pounds per person. This doesn't even include the cost of the stadium, training base, youth training system, or the few foreign assistant coaches and support staff who remain with the team.
Can't afford to buy it individually? Several companies can pool their resources and then divide the spots among themselves – that's still feasible.
With billions of US dollars in net profit in his pocket, Lin Quan turned his attention to Singaporean basketball.
We selected thirty students from China who loved playing ball and were willing to work hard, and simultaneously acquired the Singapore Fire Bulls team.
The practice continues as before: morning decoction, nighttime medicinal bath, and treatment methods are taught according to individual needs.
In less than two years, the Fire Bulls swept through the Star Nation Professional League, winning the championship with a perfect record in the playoffs.
The team made a move and pocketed billions of US dollars.
Lin Quan no longer plays football or basketball.
"In the past few years, Haidilao has made over 3 billion yuan, Alina has made over 5 billion yuan, and Fire Bull has made another 5 billion yuan."
He spent 100 million US pounds on each of Laura, Hailey, Connie, and Shin Hye-min.
He flew back to China by commercial airline, traveled to more than 20 provinces and cities, and donated 10 billion US dollars.
On the return trip, he stopped in the United States and donated 100 million; on his second trip to Singapore, he donated 2 million.
"We still have over a billion left, enough for daily expenses."
With that thought in mind, Lin Quan returned to the squatting area of the Croft Manor.
After practicing for several hours, he felt relaxed and his mind was clear. Just as he was wondering where to go next, the doorbell rang.
The proportions of the medicinal decoction, the process of the medicinal bath, and the basic stance training were all leaked by someone.
Without hesitation, Lin Quan bought a ticket for an uninhabited island and built a closed training camp there.
"One hundred million US pounds for a single person, and over 1,200 applicants?"
In less than a month, 1,200 container dormitories were erected on the island, with a light steel villa in the middle serving as the teaching center.
The first batch of trainees underwent a six-month intensive training program: a bowl of medicinal soup every morning and a medicinal bath every night.
The attack methods will not be repeated, and the movements will be broken down no more than three times. How much you understand and how well you master it depends entirely on the individual.
Too expensive? No contract.
Jason, my old partner, was transferred from the treasure hunting team to take charge of the camp's operations.
Lin Quan visits the island every few days to personally correct a few key movements, and spends the rest of his time recuperating at the manor.
Six months later, at the graduation assessment, all 1,200 people passed the standard.
The most talented have already mastered the art of controlling their strength as if it were an extension of their own arm, stepping into the threshold of Transformation Force; even the slowest have steadily crossed the threshold of Manifest Force, their muscles, bones, and skin undergoing a complete transformation.
In the practical tests, some people chopped down a three-inch wooden stake with their bare hands, while others caught a tennis ball launched at high speed with their eyes closed.
The number of applicants for the second batch surged to 5,300.
Lin Quan only asked one question: "Are the venue, medicinal herbs, and manpower all prepared?"
After receiving confirmation, he nodded and accepted the five thousand.
The price of medicinal herbs has increased by 30%, but compared to tuition fees, it's not even a fraction of the increase.
News of the formula leaking out kept coming in, but the application forms were still getting thicker.
Some people queued overnight, some used connections to cut in line, and some even reserved spots for the third phase six months in advance.
Without Lin Quan's personal guidance, it would be difficult to make progress simply by obtaining the medicinal bath recipe, the proportions of the medicinal soup, and the cultivation method.
People vary in height, weight, and build, and their muscles, bones, and meridians differ. Just the practice of standing meditation alone is enough to stump most people.
Even if you mimic the movements perfectly, the actual effect will be far from what you expected.
If you don't develop qi and blood through stance training, all the daily herbal decoctions and baths are in vain... the medicinal effects simply can't penetrate your body.
Those forces that obtained the formulas and techniques originally hoped to mass-produce martial artists, but in the end, they spent a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, and very few of them actually became successful.
Lin Quan still had over 600 billion US pounds in his account, and he started donating them again.
China has 500 billion US dollars, the United States has 10 billion US dollars...
With a population of over one billion, many parts of China don't even have roads. Most of this money was invested in road construction and school building.
In this life, he holds a US passport and donates less, which inevitably draws criticism from outsiders.
He is American, but also of Chinese descent.
The United States has a strong foundation, so it's not surprising that it donates less; China started later, so it's only right that it gives more.
He even gave several million US dollars to Lu and Xing, countries he had never gotten along with.
With the increasing number of martial arts masters, traditional sports are losing popularity one after another.
Weightlifting? A martial artist with internal strength can lift a thousand pounds with a flick of their wrist; winning a gold medal is child's play for them.
Soccer? With one kick, the ball can fly across the entire field.
Basketball? With a jump of over two meters, dunking and blocking are no problem at all.
Track and field? With a single movement of his energy, he could cover more than ten meters in one stride, and finish the 100-meter dash in just a few steps.
When martial artists go off to play football, scoring dozens of goals in a single game is considered a small number.
Should we prevent them from participating? Viewers are used to seeing dozens of goals in a single match; who would be able to sit still if they went back to watching regular season games with only two or three goals?
While older events are losing viewers, martial arts combat competitions are becoming increasingly popular.
Lin Quan only taught foreigners up to the level of Dark Strength; in China, the earlier batch of students had already learned the content of Transformation Strength, Elixir Strength, and Gang Strength.
Unfair? It's only natural to give extra guidance to promising, hardworking, and resilient individuals.
With dozens of students, which teacher wouldn't pick a few to focus on?
If you have a shallow foundation and slow comprehension, how can you blame others for not teaching you step by step?
Lin Quan answered decisively and gave a solid reason: given his Chinese heritage, it is reasonable to pay more attention to Chinese students.
Various conglomerates came knocking on his door, trying to recruit him.
