Seeking a Teacher

Lin Zhen was very glad that he had come to look up this information. Otherwise, if he had rashly gone to the Wilderness Area, he would probably have fallen right into Li Tianhao's trap. A Gold-level Mind Power Master is also Advanced War General. Just this one person alone would probably have left Lin Zhen with little chance of survival, not to mention the two Heavenly Strength individuals who are also connected in mind.

No wonder Li Wanfeng was willing to leave his son in the Wilderness Area; it turns out he was protected by such a powerful force. With these people around, it probably wouldn't be easy for Li Tianhao to commit suicide.

Although the enemy is strong, it doesn't mean Lin Zhen has given up. He will definitely go. There is still a week left, and he needs to make sufficient preparations before he goes.

After thinking for a while, Lin Zhen opened another webpage.

Martial arts instructor teaching!

There's a popular online teaching method where you pay to find many teachers to instruct you in martial arts, learning from a wide range of sources—much better than trying to learn in isolation.

Lin Zhen wanted to find a Spear Art teacher. Although he had created the Thunderclap Nine Transformations after studying Spear Art for so long, to be honest, this Spear Art was just a speed-up of the Nine Heavy Spears River, and its essence had not changed.

To become a Spear Art, he still has a lot to learn, and finding a teacher is very important at this time.

Lin Zhen possesses memories of his past life and knows that there is a teacher who is particularly suitable for him.

When Lin Zhen searched, Xuan Ze Spear Art, and many pages immediately appeared, with as many as three hundred Spear Art instructors.

Lin Zhen listed the selection criteria, and the mentor Xuan Ze the Warrior Level.

Of these approximately three hundred people, eighty-five percent were at the General Level, ten percent were at the God of War Level, and the remaining five percent were at the Warrior Level.

Of these dozen or so Warrior Level, most of them were not very capable and, in Lin Zhen's opinion, were basically frauds.

Lin Zhen scrolled through the names one by one and quickly locked onto one person.

He's the one!

Level Nine Warrior Zhang Guanyue!

Zhang Guanyue, age 28, Level Nine Warrior, specializes in guns.

The fees are as follows: online teaching costs 2,000 yuan per hour, while in-person teaching is charged on a daily basis, costing 20,000 yuan per day.

For a martial artist, this price is very low, but online records show that Zhang Guanyue's last business deal was half a year ago, meaning that she hasn't had any business for six months.

This is quite normal. If someone is still a Warrior Level at the age of 28, it means that he has no hope of being promoted to War General. It is conceivable that he does not have any skills, and no one would want to learn Spear Art from him.

However, Lin Zhen knew that although Zhang Guanyue was not very skilled, he was extremely knowledgeable about Spear Art, especially basic Spear Art, and had even created his own gun technique.

After the Second Cataclysm began in the previous life, people from Extraterrestrial Civilization came to Ice City. Almost all those who were dissatisfied were slaughtered, and Zhang Guanyue was one of them.

Because Zhang Guanyue rebelled, facing the powerful extraterrestrial visitor, Zhang Guanyue picked up his spear to fight back. Although the difference in strength was huge, his spear skills greatly surprised the extraterrestrial visitor, who said that if Zhang Guanyue reached the Stellar Realm, he himself would probably not be his match.

Because of Zhang Guanyue's marksmanship, this person even gave Zhang Guanyue a proper burial after killing him.

Lin Zhen had heard about this in his previous life and lamented that although folk masters had made a name for themselves, their strength was ultimately too weak. Without money, it was difficult for martial artists to rise to prominence.

After being reborn, Lin Zhen kept this matter in mind, but unfortunately, she never had the time. Now, however, it was the perfect opportunity.

The website showed that Zhang Guanyue's account was online, so Lin Zhen left him a message.

"I want to learn shooting skills from you."

The message was sent, and Zhang Guanyue replied quickly.

"Are you sure you haven't picked the wrong person? I'm just a Warrior Level."

"Yes, it's you. I'm sure it's you."

"That's great! Would you like to Xuan Ze online or in-person learning?"

"I Xuan Ze in-person instruction. Please give me your address; I'll head over tomorrow morning."

Zhang Guanyue quickly sent over an address, then asked somewhat nervously, "If you really want me to teach you, could you pay me a deposit first? I'll definitely be waiting for you at home tomorrow morning."

Lin Zhen laughed. It seemed that Zhang Guanyue was really poor. No one usually asked him to study, so he probably lived a very frugal life.

"Okay, give me your account number, I'll pay you a deposit of 50,000 yuan first."

The other party quickly sent over an account number, and Lin Zhen transferred 50,000 yuan to them.

"I've received the money, that's great! Come over tomorrow morning, I'll go clean the yard now."

Zhang Guanyue seemed very excited, replied to Lin Zhen, and then quickly went offline.

Lin Zhen also shut down the computer, practiced his Mental Power for a while, and felt that his Mental Power had improved slightly. He then turned off the lights and went to rest at midnight.

The next morning, Lin Zhen got up early. Her mother, Li Qin, made large mutton-filled Bao Zi, and Lin Zhen ate more than ten in one go. She also drank two bowls of porridge before getting up to leave home.

After driving out of the house, Lin Zhen first went to a nearby 24-hour supermarket to buy some beef, roast duck and beer. With these items, he headed straight to the address Zhang Guanyue had given him.

At first, Lin Zhen thought that someone like Zhang Guanyue should live in the North City District because it was a working-class area, but that wasn't actually the case. Zhang Guanyue actually lived in the South City District.

The South City District is neither a poor area nor a rich area. It is inhabited by elderly people from Ice City. There are not many apartment buildings here, but there are some small courtyard houses.

These courtyards are quite large. The Base City has repeatedly tried to persuade the people here to relocate in order to alleviate the housing pressure in the Base City. However, many people here refuse to sell their houses, no matter the price, saying that these are the properties left by their ancestors and they will not allow them to be demolished.

Therefore, there was another expansion of the Base City later, but these courtyards in the South City District were preserved. The people here did not have good living conditions, but they still guarded the products of their ancestors and continued to live here.

When Lin Zhen arrived at Zhang Guanyue's house, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Zhang Guanyue's courtyard is actually quite large, covering an area of about 700 to 800 square meters. It looks somewhat like a traditional courtyard house, but it is actually just a single-entrance courtyard.

The courtyard gate was somewhat dilapidated, probably because there was no money to repair it, but there were obvious signs of cleaning.

Lin Zhen knocked on the door. "Excuse me, is Mr. Zhang Guanyue here? I made an appointment with you yesterday to learn martial arts."

The courtyard gate opened, revealing the face of a young man.

He was described as a young man, but he wasn't actually that young; he was probably close to thirty. He was rather thin and poorly dressed. It was clear that he had taken a shower that morning, as his hair wasn't completely dry.

This person is Zhang Guanyue; his profile picture can be found online.

Zhang Guanyue excitedly opened the door, but paused for a moment after seeing Lin Zhen: "You're the one who booked a Spear Art lesson with me yesterday?"

"That's right, it's me." Lin Zhen stood in front of the door and said with a smile.

"But you look kind of familiar to me?"

"Maybe so. Quite a few people at the Warrior Level have seen me. I mean, I'm often online."

"Oh oh oh oh!"

Zhang Guanyue let out a series of "oh" sounds, pointed at Lin Zhen, and slapped her forehead. "Let me think, let me think... I think I've seen you before, your name is Lin Lin."

"My name is Lin Zhen." Lin Zhen couldn't stand the other person's behavior any longer and spoke up to remind them.

"Yes! You're Lin Zhen, now the First Warrior in Ice City! Wow! It's actually you! You know, you're my idol! You defeated the Russia, which brought honor to Ice City. And your Spear Art, how do you wield a gun so fast?"

Zhang Guanyue was visibly excited. After talking for a while, she suddenly thought of something, "Lin Zhen, you're the Ice City First Warrior, yet you've come to me to learn Spear Art. You're not here to make fun of me, are you?"

Lin Zhen handed the wine and meat he was holding to Zhang Guanyue: "Do you think I have time to waste on you? I really came here to learn how to shoot, are you happy to see me?"

"Of course you're welcome, but it feels a little unreal."

Zhang Guanyue happily accepted the wine and meat, and Lin Zhen stepped into the courtyard.

As Lin Zhen stepped into the courtyard, he immediately sensed a different atmosphere.
