High Martial Arts: Become a God by Spending Money, Start by Spending All Your Compensation Funds

Jiang Yu knew that if Lin Yun failed to keep his promise or caused a team member to be seriously injured, who would trust him in the future?

Lin Yun will become universally condemned, and naturally, the guide's business will be unable to continue.

A sinister glint flashed in his eyes as he glanced at the two henchmen beside him, a cold smile playing on his lips.

The hunting grounds are so large, and first-tier beasts are generally stupid and clumsy; they are easily disturbed by blood energy and run away randomly.

If, by chance, a few mid-stage Tier 1 beasts were to rush into Lin Yun's group, those few cowards would probably scatter on the spot.

At that point, Lin Yun would be overwhelmed and couldn't just stand by and watch someone get hurt.

If someone is seriously injured, Lin Yun will likely have to bear responsibility, not only for the 50,000 yuan guide fee.

Jiang Yu patted the standard-issue combat sword at his waist, his tone laced with malice: "Let's go, let's deliver a big gift to Lin Yun!"

The two lackeys quickly echoed, their faces full of ingratiating smiles.

They were originally following Jiang Yu, so naturally they couldn't wait to see Lin Yun make a fool of himself.

In Class A1, Su Nianhe had already formed a three-person team with two familiar female classmates.

She had just caught a glimpse of Lin Yun taking off his training uniform, revealing the crisscrossing scars all over his body. Her fingertips instinctively clenched the hem of his clothes, and her heart felt as if it had been gently pricked by a needle, a subtle pain rising within her.

She knew Lin Yun had been in the occupied zone, but she never imagined he would be so badly injured.

Each of those scars corresponds to a life-or-death crisis, no wonder his combat ability far surpasses that of his peers, it turns out they were all earned by risking his life.

"Nianhe, what are you looking at?"

The girl next to her, with her hair in a high ponytail, followed her gaze and teased her with a smile.

"Looking at your Lin Yun again? I just heard that he defeated Jiang Yu's Breaking Fist with the Vajra Fist. He's incredibly powerful."

Su Nianhe came to her senses, her cheeks flushed slightly, but she did not deny it, only nodded gently.

"He's always been amazing."

Another girl wearing glasses pushed up her glasses, her tone tinged with curiosity.

"Is he the one who had to start over after his cultivation was dissipated? I heard from people in the class that his combat rating is below level nine. Is that true? It's too exaggerated for a second-level Martial Apprentice to have this kind of combat power."

Su Nianhe smiled but didn't explain further.

She knew better than anyone how difficult, yet how steady, Lin Yun's path was.

He never does anything he's not sure of. If he dares to charge guide fees, he must have the ability to protect those people.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and the alloy gate at the entrance to the hunting grounds slowly rose, revealing the lush forest inside.

The wind blew through the treetops, carrying with it the scent of grass and trees, and a faint smell of exotic animals.

Meng Chuan took out a lustrous, milky-white pill from his storage bag, held it up, and waved it at everyone, saying with a smile, "Since this is your first time entering the hunting grounds for trials, I'll add a prize out of my own pocket. The person with the highest academic score in our class after today's trials will get this high-grade first-tier Qi and Blood Pill. So, it's all up to your ability."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cheer erupted from the crowd.

A first-grade high-level Qi and Blood Pill sells for around 200,000 on the market and is extremely effective for Martial Apprentice cultivators.

Not to mention, this is a reward from my mentor, so it has a different meaning.

"Thank you, Teacher Meng!"

The students rubbed their hands together, their nervousness fading and replaced by a more eager spirit.

At the instructor's command, the teams entered the hunting grounds one after another.

Lin Yun led Zhao Qiang and the other four people behind the group. The moment they stepped into the forest, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed.

The tall trees blocked out the sun, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of decaying leaves, which were soft and silent when stepped on.

The five men immediately tensed up, looking around nervously, gripping their swords tightly, and even holding their breath.

"Let's all introduce ourselves." Lin Yun stopped and turned to look at the five people, his tone calm. "Just your names will do, so I can give you instructions."

He didn't actually care what these people's names were, but when working in a team, you need to have a way of addressing them to avoid calling the wrong person at a crucial moment.

The boy in the lead spoke first: "My name is Zhao Qiang, from the Zhao family of Northwest Yuncheng."

The remaining four people also announced their names in turn: Qian Hao, Sun Feng, Zhou Kai, and Wu Bin. Without exception, they were all scions of wealthy families from various regions.

Lin Yun nodded slightly, indicating that he had made a mental note of it.

He took out a simple map of the hunting grounds from his pocket, unfolded it, glanced at it, and his fingertip landed on the leftmost area.

"Let's go to Zone 1 first."

"District One?" Qian Hao frowned, his tone tinged with confusion. "District One is full of early-stage Tier 1 beasts. We're all at the sixth level of Martial Apprentice Realm. It's normal for us to go to District Two to fight mid-stage Tier 1 beasts, right? Lin Yun, you didn't take money and plan to just lead us to kill a few low-level beasts to get by, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Feng and Zhou Kai also hesitated, clearly having the same concerns.

They spent 50,000 yuan to earn credits for late-stage Tier 1 alien beasts, not to bully weaker opponents.

Lin Yun glanced at Qian Hao, not angry, but calmly asked in return.

"Given your current state of extreme paranoia, what are your chances of winning against a mid-stage Tier 1 beast?"

"I..." Qian Hao was speechless. He subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he thought of the panic he felt when he heard the roar of the strange beast, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"Even a near-death experience would be an honor for you."

Lin Yun put away the map, turned around, and continued walking forward.

"You all practice martial arts routines and practice on simulated training dummies. You've never even smelled the stench of a strange beast."

If you actually draw blood, you'll be lucky to be able to unleash even 30% of your full strength.

Start by cultivating courage in the early stages of level one. Once you've developed that courage, then move on to the next level.

As soon as he finished speaking, the bushes a hundred paces ahead suddenly swayed, and with a low growl, a strange beast with jet-black fur and protruding fangs slowly emerged.

The beast was about the size of a wolf, with sharp claws and fierce eyes; it was a Black Fang Beast, a first-tier early-stage beast.

These strange beasts are mostly distributed in the northeastern part of the Dragon Kingdom. They are ferocious in nature, but their combat strength is not particularly strong.

It is likely that Emperor Wu captured exotic beasts from all over the country and kept them in the hunting grounds.

Lin Yun raised his chin and pointed at Qian Hao: "You, go up and kill it."

"I?"

Qian Hao paused for a moment, pointed to his own nose, a hint of panic flashing across his face, but he quickly regained his composure, "Kill it then, it's just a first-stage early-stage beast, what's so difficult about that?"

He gripped his sword tightly, took a deep breath, and walked step by step toward the Black Fang Beast.

The remaining four stood beside Lin Yun, arms crossed, watching the spectacle with a relaxed expression on their faces.

In their view, a sixth-level Martial Apprentice could easily defeat an early-stage Tier 1 opponent.

Qian Hao stopped about ten steps away from the Black Fang Beast. Just as he was about to assume a fighting stance, the Black Fang Beast suddenly raised its head, its scarlet eyes fixed on him, and then let out a piercing roar.

A foul-smelling wind blew in, carrying a strong stench of blood.

Qian Hao froze, feeling a chill run down his spine, and a cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

The weaknesses and killing techniques of the strange beasts that I had memorized so well from the books all vanished without a trace at this moment, and my mind went completely blank.

Before he could react, the Black Fang Beast pushed off the ground with all four limbs and pounced on him like a black lightning bolt.

Qian Hao was so frightened that his pupils shrank, and he forgot to block. He instinctively turned around and ran.

"Don't forget you're a mid-stage Martial Apprentice, while it's just a Tier 1 early-stage Black Fang Beast."

Lin Yun spoke calmly.
