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

The three men opposite Song Yu wore sinister smiles, their weapons gleaming coldly, clearly indicating their intention to kill and rob.

"Hey girl, if you know what's good for you, hand over your luggage so we don't have to resort to violence."

The leader, with his hooked nose, licked his lips, his eyes greedily sweeping over the bag at Song Yu's waist.

"If one or two people die in this wilderness, no one will be able to find out."

Song Yu gritted her teeth, gripping her short sword tightly and refusing to back down. However, she was only at the ninth level of Martial Apprentice, while the three opponents were all hunters at the ninth level of Martial Apprentice. She had no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.

Just then, Lin Yun emerged from behind the tree.

He didn't speak, just stood there quietly, his gaze sweeping over the three men.

Just as the man with the hooked nose was about to yell at whoever was meddling, he turned around and saw Lin Yun's face. Instantly, it was as if he had been choked, and his voice stopped abruptly.

His two companions were also stunned; the fierce look on their faces froze, replaced by undisguised terror.

The three of them stopped at Old Cao's supply station yesterday, where they witnessed Lin Yun unloading the pile of second-tier Golden Scale Serpent King materials and heard the discussions that filled the courtyard.

This young man may look young, but he's a formidable character who can single-handedly kill a second-tier Berserker Serpent King. The three of them combined wouldn't be enough to withstand a single blow from him.

"Brother Lin... Brother Lin!"

The man with the hooked nose and trembling legs hurriedly put away the knife, smiled apologetically, and took two steps back.

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! We were just joking with this young lady, we didn't mean anything by it!"

"Yes, yes, it's a misunderstanding! We'll leave right away, we'll leave right away!"

The three waved their hands repeatedly and turned to leave.

"stop."

Lin Yun spoke calmly, instantly freezing the three people in place, who dared not move an inch.

He turned to look at Song Yu and asked, "What happened?"

Song Yu hadn't expected to run into Lin Yun here. She was stunned for a moment before reacting, and said tremblingly, "I just entered the wilderness area for training today. I saw a Qingling Grass growing in the crack of the rocks over there. I was just about to go and pick it when those three jumped out from the side. That grass was just a trap they deliberately placed there to lure me there!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun turned his gaze back to the three of them, his eyes turning colder.

Yesterday at the supply depot, these three people were sitting in a corner drinking, looking no different from ordinary hunters. Little did I know that they were actually the same kind of people as the Rotten Rat gang.

Those who dare to set traps and double-cross others in the wilderness have probably taken countless lives.

"Brother Lin, we know we were wrong! We really know we were wrong!"

The man with the hooked nose knelt down with a thud, and the other two followed suit, kowtowing repeatedly.

"We'll never do it again! Please let us go. We'll give you all the money we have!"

Lin Yun ignored their pleas for mercy.

These people make a living by setting traps to harm others. If we let them go, other hunters will suffer the same fate.

He exerted a slight force with his feet, and the Wind Step began.

In a flash, he appeared in front of the three people, unleashing a series of powerful punches, each punch carrying extremely refined blood and qi.

The three didn't even have a chance to fight back before being slammed hard into their chests by the force of the punches.

Three muffled thuds rang out in succession.

The three of them flew out like broken sacks, crashed heavily to the ground, spat out several mouthfuls of blood, and died on the spot.

It took no more than two seconds, clean and efficient.

Song Yu stood there, stunned.

She knew Lin Yun was powerful, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get an A-level hunter license, but seeing him kill three first-level peak hunters with a single punch still shocked her.

What terrified her even more was Lin Yun's gaze, which remained calm throughout, as if killing someone was like stepping on three ants, without the slightest fluctuation.

Is he really an 18-year-old freshman?

She was stunned for a while before she came to her senses. Her heart was still pounding, and she quickly stepped forward to thank him.

"Little brother, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would have been in real danger this time."

Lin Yun didn't respond, but squatted down and began to search the three bodies.

He's still more than two million short of the required amount to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, so these three guys coming to him is like sending charcoal in snowy weather.

These three were dirt poor, with all their belongings totaling only about one million.

He then looked at the Green Spirit Grass growing in the crack of the rock next to him. Its leaves were emerald green and its spiritual energy was contained. It was indeed a first-grade high-quality spiritual plant, with a market price of about 200,000.

The three of them were willing to spend a lot of money to set up a trap.

Song Yu's gaze also fell on the Green Spirit Grass, her eyes filled with longing.

Her purpose in venturing into the wilderness was to find some spiritual plants to refine medicine.

But she also knew that Lin Yun had stopped the spiritual plant, so it should rightfully belong to Lin Yun.

She hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Um... could I buy this Green Spirit Grass from you? I need it for making medicine."

Lin Yun looked up at her and nodded, "Two hundred thousand."

"good!"

Song Yu immediately agreed, as if afraid he would change his mind, and transferred 200,000 yuan on the spot.

After transferring the money, she looked at Lin Yun, her gratitude overflowing, her cheeks slightly flushed. Half-jokingly, half-seriously, she said, "Thank you so much this time. I can't repay your life-saving grace. Otherwise... how about I repay you with my body?"

Lin Yun felt a chill run down his spine and almost choked on his own saliva.

He quickly waved his hand: "We've only met twice. If you really want to thank me, money will do."

Song Yu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

This little brother is really honest.

Without any hesitation, she transferred another million.

"This is all I have in my account, please don't think it's too little."

Lin Yun glanced at the payment notification, and without refusing, accepted it.

He put away the transfer money, looked up at Song Yu, and reminded her, "The wilderness area is very dangerous. If your family can afford it, bring two helpers next time you come in."

Song Yu was initially a little embarrassed, but after hearing his words, she felt a warmth in her heart and nodded obediently.

She was a few years older than Lin Yun, but at this moment she acted like an obedient little sister.

She paused, then said with a hint of pleading, "Um... could you walk me to the entrance/exit? I'm scared to walk alone."

"Okay, I'm going that way anyway."

Lin Yun did not refuse.

The two walked side by side toward the entrance. Along the way, Song Yu kept chatting about topics, while Lin Yun didn't say much. She did most of the talking, and he would occasionally respond.

As the morning mist gradually dissipated, sunlight filtered through the leaves, making the dangers in the forest seem less apparent.

Before long, the alloy gate of the wilderness came into view.

Once you pass through the gate, you're in the city proper; it's perfectly safe.

Song Yu stopped and turned to Lin Yun with a smile: "Thank you so much for today. Do you have time? Let me treat you to a meal."

"No, thank you." Lin Yun shook his head. "I have other things to do."

Song Yu didn't insist; she hadn't held out much hope to begin with.

Before parting, she seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "By the way, I still don't know your full name?"

"Lin Yun".

"Lin Yun..."

Song Yu read it aloud, a smile unconsciously curving her lips as she murmured it to herself.

Lin Yun, Song Yu, Yun Yu...

It's quite catchy.

But she quickly laughed at herself.

He wouldn't even eat with her, which clearly shows he had no romantic interest in her.

We met by chance, and it seems we are destined to meet but not to stay together.

She suppressed the lingering emotions in her heart and waved her hand, "Alright, then I won't keep you any longer. Come visit Yunshan Martial Arts School sometime."

"Um."

Lin Yun responded and turned to walk towards the hover taxi by the roadside without looking back.

Song Yu stood there, watching his figure gradually walk away until he disappeared around the street corner, before she looked away, touched her burning cheeks, and sighed softly.
