No, where does this portal come from?

Fandel narrowed his eyes. "You mean..."

"Remember the riot at the dock last week? Six scapegoats were hanged at the Sun Gate, but the smuggling ship from Gear Street arrived at the harbor that very night." Lin Yan said, chuckling softly as he continued, "Some corpses must be humble enough for the masters of Upper City to feel comfortable showing mercy."

“You have great prestige in the Lower City. Arresting you can appease the people of the Upper City, but it will cause severe unrest in the Lower City and may even exacerbate the conflict.

They won't do anything to you until a second 'Fandel' appears in the Undercity, because they still need to use your prestige to appease the restless and vengeful hearts of the Undercity."

"Do you understand now?" After Lin Yan finished speaking, Vander nodded silently.

As a rough guy, this was the first time Vander heard these theories.

This made him curious about the person in front of him.

"Where did you learn all this?" Vander looked at Lin Yan.

"I learned it from books." Lin Yan randomly pulled out two books used for notes from the bookshelf and threw them in front of Vander.

Has he ever read the books on the shelf?

He could only say that he had dabbled in the complete works of A Shuai and various comics and light novels on the bookshelf.

As for the others? They were all used for show.

In his words: The books on the bookshelf are to be read, not to be looked at.

But even so, Lin Yan still pretended to be a wise man and said to Fandel, "These two books are for you. Read them more when you have time.

Don't always think about conquering the world with your fists."

"Your trick only works in the base city."

"You mean this method is no longer applicable outside of the base city?"

"No, once you leave the bottom city... you will find that the fists you are so proud of are simply weak in the eyes of outsiders!" Lin Yan said mercilessly.

Aren’t there any weird and strange things in the Alliance Universe?

Above there is the void, the Dragon King, the gods, and the ascenders; below there is Brother Suozi who comes and goes.

Van der's two tricks are really not enough.

Unless he turns into a werewolf.

Putting away the "Art of War" and "Game Theory" on the table, Vander did not argue too much with Lin Yan's words.

After resting for a while, Vander stood up and said goodbye to Lin Yan.

Wei and Baobao were kept here by Vandal again because "the city is in chaos now".

According to him, he needs to personally deal with the restless bottom city, which is too dangerous for Wei and Baobao.

Chapter 7 Daily Training and Visiting Silko

Inside the room, Baobao and Wei, who were peeking through the crack of the door, witnessed the entire conversation between Fandel and Lin Yan.

His original suspicion towards Lin Yan was dispelled by Vandel's words, "I'll ask you to help me take care of these two little guys."

What followed was a 180-degree reversal in Wei and Baobao's attitude towards Lin Yan!

Since Vandel could entrust the two of them to him, he must be a good man!

It will take a long time to calm the unrest in the city.

By the time the turmoil in the city subsided, more than half a month had passed.

During this period, Lin Yan studied the thunder method passed down by the old Taoist priest diligently, and successfully mastered the thunder method under the guidance of the old Taoist priest.

During this period, he provided Wei and Baobao with a comprehensive education in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor.

I get up at eight o'clock every day to read and learn, go to the movies at ten o'clock, and eat at twelve o'clock.

After dinner, Baobao went to look at the Heimerdinger research notes that Lin Yan had found, while Wei had fighting training with Lin Yan.

I have to say that Wei is indeed very talented in fighting!

Although he is only seven years old, his strength is only slightly weaker than that of an adult. He can learn the moves in martial arts movies after watching them once. His nerve reflexes are frighteningly fast. He is obviously a good candidate to learn fighting.

If possible, you can send her to Lee Sin or Sett to learn more later.

With the blessing of the Golden Light Mantra, Lin Yan's speed and strength increased more than a little.

The stimulation of cell activity by thunder magic makes him a warrior with both speed and strength.

In the spacious courtyard, sunlight falls on the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.

Wei, who had changed into clean clothes, stood in the yard.

The feet are spread apart, the knees are slightly bent, the upper body is leaning forward, the jaw is tightened, and the hands are placed in an extremely standard hugging stance.

A thick layer of wristbands was tightly wrapped around the slender yet muscular arms.

This not only protects her fists from damage, but also increases the impact force while providing a cushioning effect.

Lin Yan, standing opposite Wei, started with the ground-closing elbow technique from Bajiquan.

Lin Yan's posture was steady and his eyes were sharp.

Their eyes met, but Wei's face didn't show any fear at all, instead it was full of excitement.

Because Wei is petite, she appears very flexible in comparison.

But at the same time, due to her body size, her shorter attack range became her obvious weakness.

However, Wei, who had learned boxing from Van der Leyen since childhood, knew this very well.

Therefore, she initially targeted Lin Yan's bottom and middle lanes, rather than the top lane which was more difficult to attack.

With a breath, Wei, who was standing in place, suddenly moved.

Wei's steps were light and agile, moving quickly.

She took two steps at a time and rushed to Lin Yan's side in the blink of an eye.

Wei swung his left arm violently and unleashed an extremely fierce punch, striking directly at Lin Yan's right ribs.

Anyone who has learned boxing knows that there is an extremely vulnerable part in the human right rib cage - the liver.

The punch Wei threw was the famous "liver-bursting punch" in boxing.

If an ordinary person is unfortunately hit by such a punch, he or she will most likely fall to the ground and lose the ability to move for a short period of time.

Faced with Wei's swift attack, Lin Yan remained calm. He quickly bent his left arm and used his elbow to block Wei's heavy punch.

In an instant, there was a muffled "bang" sound!

The fist and elbow collided, and before Wei could retract his fist, Lin Yan grabbed Wei's wrist and twisted his arm, then pulled his body backwards.

Taking advantage of Wei's center of gravity being pulled off track, Lin Yan showed off his speed advantage and used his other fist to strike Wei's temple with a phoenix eye fist!

Of course, he didn't mean to kill Wei with one punch.

If you want to make progress in a competition, you must hold back.

Only when you know where you are lacking can you have room for improvement.

The fist stopped at Wei's temple, and the two of them paused.

Their eyes met, Wei took a deep breath and spoke again stubbornly: "Continue!"

After saying that, Wei retreated quickly!

Compared with her previous unstoppable attack, she now had a defensive posture.

His steps also became more flexible, somewhat reminiscent of the 'butterfly step' in the boxing documentary she had shown her a few days ago.

Seeing her let go, Lin Yan took the initiative to attack!

Facing Wei's hold, Lin Yan clenched his fists and moved closer.

Lin Yan's Bajiquan was taught by the old Taoist priest.

For Zhang Zhiwei, there was nothing worth learning in ordinary martial arts. After all, as the strongest fighter in the world, he was already strong enough to overwhelm his peers and become the best when he was young.

By the time he was old, he had already mastered martial arts and Taoism to perfection.

Zhang Zhiwei didn't have any "moves" to learn, but in Lin Yan's opinion, it was always better to have more skills.

After all, not everyone is Zhang Zhiwei.

If possible, he would like to learn everything he can.

Lin Yan's feet moved like the wind and his body moved as fast as lightning. He approached Wei, who was already in a defensive posture, at lightning speed.

However, in just a moment, Wei's seemingly tight defense was like paper, and was broken by Lin Yan's sudden forward elbow!

Bajiquan has always been known for its toughness and ferocity, and the emphasis is on fierce and powerful strikes!

Very fierce!

Wei took Lin Yan's attack head-on. Even though her fists and arms were tightly wrapped with wrist bandages, she still couldn't completely resist the powerful impact. For a moment, she felt extremely painful, as if her bones were about to break under this blow!

But strangely, this intense pain not only did not make Wei retreat, but made her even more excited!

In her opinion, this is exactly the power she longs to possess!

Only with this kind of power can we take revenge on Shangcheng in the future!

As Wei's defense gate was forced open, she did not dare to hesitate and quickly retreated.

Lin Yan pressed forward step by step, punches coming like raindrops, Wei kept dodging and retreating to block.

"Blindly blocking will only put me in a passive position. I must seize the opportunity to counterattack..." The blue eyes kept observing Lin Yan's movements.

Finally, she spotted a fleeting flaw.

Suddenly, she lowered her body to avoid the punch that was about to hit her face, and suddenly kicked up with a crotch-kicking kick!

In an instant, a strong wind whistled straight towards Lin Yan's lower body.

Lin Yan noticed something strange happening beneath him, and reacted immediately, quickly stretching out his hands and clapping to block it.

However, just as his palm was about to touch Wei's calf, the crotch-kicking kick that was originally aimed at the vital point below suddenly changed direction in mid-air without any warning and kicked Lin Yan's ribs!

Change of direction kick.

A fighting technique that involves taking the opponent by surprise and suddenly changing the target of attack.

When used, it can catch the opponent off guard.

If Wei's body was not as petite as it is now, then this change of direction kick might not only attack Lin Yan's ribs from bottom to top, but it might directly turn into a kick towards Lin Yan's head!

--boom!

He caught Wei's kick with one hand.

"Not bad." Lin Yan praised and raised his hand to fight back - but the gate of the courtyard was suddenly pushed open, interrupting the sparring training between the two.

The man looked at Wei's posture and Lin Yan's intention to throw a punch, with some doubt in his eyes, but he still walked slowly into the courtyard.

The man was thin, with a gray left eye and a sharp knife on his waist.

His hair was slicked back, he was wearing casual clothes, and his expression was calm.

Hilco.

Seeing Xierko coming, Lin Yan's expression was not surprised at all.

Wei, who was standing by, was about to say something when she saw Silko, but she was so frightened by Silko's gray left eye and scar that she stopped talking.

"Go back to the house, we have something to talk about." Lin Yan said lightly and retracted his fist.

Wei also obediently pulled Baobao, who was sitting on the steps reading a book, back to the house.

After Wei and Baobao returned to the room, Hilco looked at Lin Yan and said, "Did Vandel hand them over to you?"

"Hand over? Just take care of it temporarily." Lin Yan corrected.

Hearing this, Hilco nodded without comment, and his one eye kept looking up and down at Lin Yan, as if he wanted to see whether the person in front of him was the same as what was described in the letter.

"I heard from my good brother that there is an arcanist here who can predict the future. I wonder if the person he is talking about is you." A hint of doubt flashed in Silko's eyes.

Predicting the future? That sounds a bit too far-fetched...

Whether it is as Vandel said remains to be verified.

"If there's no one else here, I think he's talking about me." Lin Yan pointed to the pavilion in the courtyard and took the lead, walking to the stone bench and making a gesture of invitation to Xierko. "Since you can come here, it means you don't completely doubt my identity."
