Returning to Familiar Ground Yang Hui: Greetings, Inspector!

"Unauthorized personnel, keep out!"

Lin Yuan stopped in his tracks, looking at these two slightly unfamiliar faces, but he did not feel angry.

He knew the rules here; without a pass, even high-ranking government officials from any nation would have to wait outside.

He did not say much.

With a calm expression, he reached into his pocket and produced a pitch-black document case, embossed with a dark gold blood-drop emblem on the cover, and handed it over.

The guard on the left frowned, taking it with a suspicious look. He had been standing guard here for three years and had seen countless documents, but this black one... it seemed very rare.

He opened the document, his eyes scanning the information on it again and again.

At first, he was indifferent, but then his pupils suddenly constricted!

It was as if he had seen something truly incredible.

Name: Lin Yuan.

Position: Extreme Martial Arts Hall · Honorary Inspector.

Authority Level: Special Grade (second only to the Hall Master and personal guards).

"This..."

The guard's hand trembled violently, and the next second, his mouth hung open wide enough to fit an egg.

He hurriedly snapped the document shut with a "clack," his entire body straightening up as if struck by an electric shock, his feet clicking together with a crisp sound.

He performed a military salute so standard it was beyond reproach!

His companion beside him was stunned, then immediately followed suit.

"Greetings, Lord Inspector!"

"What? An Inspector?!"

The other guard's mind went "buzz" and instantly turned blank; his body instinctively followed the salute, his head bowed low, not daring to look directly at the face of the young man before him.

They never dreamed that this youth, who looked barely older than the students, was actually the legendary Inspector!

Moreover, he was that one and only "Honorary Inspector"!

In this circle, who didn't know the weight of an "Honorary Inspector"?

It was a distinction personally bestowed by the world's number one powerhouse, Hong, representing that this person possessed potential surpassing that of a War God and was universally recognized by all martial artists as a "reserve member of the Council"!

As long as he did not fall, he would surely be a figure standing at the pinnacle of humanity in the future.

Lin Yuan's expression remained indifferent.

"Now, may I enter?" he asked calmly.

"Of course!"

The two guards shouted in unison, hurriedly retracting their combat spears, pressing the button to open the gate, and silently stepping aside.

Although this was the global headquarters with strict rules, that only applied to ordinary people.

For existences above the War God level, especially big shots of the Inspector rank, the doors here were always wide open; everyone hoped to receive guidance from a War God.

One had to know that even the Hall Master, Hong, and the second Council Speaker, Thunder God, occasionally came here to instruct the students.

As the heavy alloy gate slowly opened, Lin Yuan stepped inside...

Walking into the training camp, familiar scenery came into view.

The massive Jiangnan Pavilion, the tranquil Nine-Story Tower...

Every blade of grass and every tree here carried memories of Lin Yuan's past.

A few years ago, he had also been a member here, fighting desperately for rankings, for points, and for that share of Dragon Blood.

"After all this circling, I've returned."

Lin Yuan sighed softly, then felt a bit troubled.

At this very moment, where was Luo Feng?

The training camp covered a vast area; the students were either out in the wilderness hunting monsters or in seclusion in various training rooms. If he couldn't even find the person, how could he provide guidance?

The simplest method would naturally be to reveal his identity and have the person in charge here summon Luo Feng.

But Lin Yuan immediately rejected this thought.

The system's mission requirement was "guidance without leaving a trace."

If he were to call the person over with great fanfare and give a face-to-face lesson, it would not only seem deliberate but would also seriously deviate from the core of the mission.

So-called "without leaving a trace" meant it could not be public, nor could it be a formal, multi-person lecture.

It was best if it were subtle and silent, allowing Luo Feng to realize it himself without knowing who had helped him.

"This system really knows how to give one a hard time."

Just as Lin Yuan stood by the roadside deep in thought, a burst of hurried footsteps came from ahead.

A middle-aged man in a training suit walked over quickly, clearly having received a report from the guards at the entrance.

The moment he saw Lin Yuan, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes, but he immediately replaced it with a warm smile and offered a military salute from a distance.

"Inspector Lin! A rare guest, truly a rare guest!"

Lin Yuan took a closer look and couldn't help but chuckle.

The man approaching was none other than the head instructor of the Elite Training Camp, the one responsible for receiving new students—Yang Hui.

"Instructor Yang, long time no see."

Lin Yuan smiled back, not putting on any airs as an Inspector, but instead walking up to him like an old friend.

The two embraced, their smiles remaining bright.

Back when Lin Yuan was in the training camp, Yang Hui had taken good care of him, and he still remembered that bond.

"My goodness, when the guards reported that an Honorary Inspector had arrived, I was wondering who it could be. I never expected it to be you, kid!"

Yang Hui looked Lin Yuan up and down, his eyes filled with emotion. "It's only been a few years, and you've already reached this level. It really makes us old folks feel ashamed."

After the pleasantries—

Yang Hui asked curiously, "Right, Inspector Lin, what brings you here so suddenly? Is this official business?"

Lin Yuan had already prepared his excuse and replied casually, "Nothing major. I just finished a mission and was passing by, so I thought I'd drop in for a look. You know how it is, since I graduated from here, I wanted to see if there are any more monstrous students in this batch."

"Haha, so you're here on an 'undercover' scouting mission!"

Yang Hui laughed, wearing an "I understand" expression.

He then leaned in mysteriously and said, "Don't even get me started, there really is a freak in this batch! His name is Luo Feng, from Yangzhou City in Jiangnan Base City. He's already broken into the top hundred—he's a total madman!"

Hearing that name, Lin Yuan felt a surge of joy, but he kept his expression neutral, merely raising an eyebrow. "Oh? That sounds interesting. Where is he?"

"At this hour, that madman is definitely in the Gravity Training Room of the Nine-Story Tower." Yang Hui checked the time and said with certainty, "Besides him, there are a few other top-ranked kids over there too."

"Alright, I'll go take a look." Lin Yuan nodded.

"Shall I accompany you?"

"No need, Instructor Yang, you go back to your work. I'm just looking around; I don't want to disturb them or reveal my identity, lest these kids get nervous."

"Understood, understood! Then I won't bother you. I'll go ahead and grant you the highest monitoring clearance for the Nine-Story Tower." Yang Hui was a sharp man and understood immediately.

After bidding farewell to Yang Hui, Lin Yuan arrived at the Nine-Story Tower alone.

With his top-level clearance, he didn't enter the training rooms directly but instead went to a one-way transparent observation corridor.

At this moment, he suppressed his aura, moving like a ghost wandering through the training camp, quietly watching the young faces below as they sweated through their training.

Through the glass, he saw many familiar names, such as William and Zhao Ruo. Even with just a glance, Lin Yuan could discern their strengths and weaknesses.

This was the experience and treasure that belonged solely to him.

Finally, his footsteps stopped outside the observation window of an advanced gravity room.

Through the specialized bulletproof glass, he saw a black-haired youth wearing a gray training suit.

The display screen of the gravity room clearly showed "3x Gravity."

The youth was already drenched in sweat, as if he had just been pulled from the water, but the Blood Shadow Battle Blade in his hand showed no signs of stopping.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Every strike was accompanied by the explosive sound of air being torn apart, full of raw power.

"So this is Luo Feng..."

Lin Yuan watched quietly, a flash of admiration in his eyes.

This kind of willpower was indeed the hallmark of a powerhouse.

However.

After watching for only three minutes, Lin Yuan shook his head, a meaningful curve tugging at the corner of his mouth.

He could see at a glance the biggest bottleneck Luo Feng faced right now, which was also the key to completing his mission.

Luo Feng's blade was too "rigid."

The Nine-Layer Thunder Blade relied on the stacking of hidden force, each layer faster and stronger than the last.

But Luo Feng's current method was to put his all into every single strike, as if he were trying to use every ounce of strength he possessed.

"He only knows how to explode, not how to restrain."
