Chapter 18 Head Coach of the Boxing Gym
"Beep beep—beep beep—!!!"
In the darkness, the crisp, piercing sound of bells echoed along the cliff face.
Lin Ye sat on the slanted pine branch, slightly out of breath, and glanced at his watch.
23:00, the total time was about two hours, with a break in between.
Wiping the sweat from my forehead, I felt the moist mountain breeze and my chest heaved with heat.
This body is still in poor condition.
If I were in my peak condition in my previous life, even if the cliff face was slippery, it wouldn't take me more than half an hour to climb up this mere hundred-meter cliff.
"I'm still too weak," he sighed softly.
Leaning back against the pine tree, the white moonlight shone into his eyes, and a satisfied and relaxed smile appeared on his face.
For no apparent reason, he thought of the time in his previous life when he successfully conquered the "Master of Fate," and he was also looking at the moon in the same way.
The moon did not shine on him in his previous life, but this time, he can go much further.
More than an hour later, at the end of Yamada Village.
Lin Ye stood in front of the low courtyard wall and stepped directly into the courtyard.
When I got to the front of the tiled house, I took out the cash I had just withdrawn that day from my backpack, counted out twenty-four bills, and placed them on the chair next to the door.
Having done all this, he glanced at the dark window and turned to leave.
After an unknown amount of time, the moon gradually moved upwards, and a pale light began to appear on the horizon.
"Giggle—giggle—!"
A large, black-tailed, multicolored rooster leaped onto the courtyard wall and crowed towards the sky.
A moment later, the door creaked open, and an old man dressed in black slowly walked out.
Breathing in the fresh air, just as I was about to enthusiastically practice a set of health-preserving exercises, my gaze suddenly fell on the chair next to me.
A stack of bright red bills stood there, and he stood there stunned.
After a while, he picked up the red bill and looked out at the winding mountain road outside the courtyard.
After a few seconds of silence, he clasped his hands together in prayer and quietly put the money away.

In the bedroom, Lin Ye sat quietly by the window, watching the sky brighten.
My gaze swept over the alarm clock: 05:58 AM.
Summer mornings always seem to come earlier.
Open your phone and send the picture of the black snail-shaped grass you took to your supervisor.
"Teacher, I received some black snail-shaped grass. Can the lab accept it?"
There were a total of thirty-two black snail-shaped grasses this time. He kept seven as ingredients for potions, leaving twenty-five.
If we can buy it at the price set on the college's intranet, it will cost 10,000 yuan, which is enough to solve our immediate problem and leave us with some money to spare.
Even if it doesn't work out, as long as it exceeds three thousand, it's considered not a loss.
I put down my phone, took out a stone mill the size of a bowl from my backpack. It was bought from a shopping mall and I used it to grind grains.
After playing with it for a while, he muttered to himself, "According to the procedure, the seeds need to be fried until they turn a jujube red color before being ground."
"After grinding it into a paste, pour it into a pot, then use the water displacement method... was it boiling water or warm water again?"
"Yes, it involves adding boiling water and stirring, and finally shaking the oil."
After confirming the process, he didn't rush to take action.
In two hours, it will be the head coach's lesson at the boxing gym. The whole process of applying the oil will take at least three or four hours, so there's a time conflict.
The head coach might only give a lesson once a month, so it takes priority over the oil and can't be missed.
"Buzzing~~"
I was just about to take a shower when my phone vibrated twice.
[Master Zhuang]: "Okay, I have some things to take care of and will be delayed for a few days. Your senior brother will be back the day after tomorrow. You can go to the laboratory building to find him then."
[Master Zhuang]: "We'll buy at the market price, 400 per plant, for a total of 10,000. Once the accounts are settled, I'll have your senior brother transfer the money directly to you."
Lin Ye felt a warmth in his heart upon seeing the teacher's reply.
Normally, fresh black snail grass needs to undergo several processing steps before it can be used as a medicinal material.
Therefore, the price of fresh black snail grass should be lower, but the teacher bought it directly as dried.
"Thank you for your help, teacher," he replied.
"Buzzing~~"
[Master Zhuang]: "Alright, I'm busy here. I'll talk to you about the gathering when I get back. You don't need to come back."
Seeing the teacher's reply, Lin Ye silently turned off the screen, revealing his own face.
Looking at her reflection on the screen, she was less angular than in her previous life, her eyes were more subdued, and she was no longer so sharp and assertive.
"Is this... a bond?"
He muttered to himself, looking up at the ceiling.
"The shackles of being human..."
After a long moment of stunned silence, he suddenly came to his senses, his forehead already covered with fine beads of sweat.
He took a deep breath and his gaze fell on the cover of "Elementary Potions Handbook" on the desk.
Caron Ismail.
He murmured the name to himself.
After a few seconds of silence, he got up and walked towards the bathroom.
After taking a shower and warming up with boxing, I headed straight to the boxing gym. It was already 7:30 when I arrived at the gym entrance.
As I pushed open the door to the boxing gym, a gust of wind swept over me, and I immediately dodged to the side.
"Whoosh—!"
A massive black shadow flew past and crashed straight into the gate, landing on the ground with a thud.
"Cough! Cough!"
Coughing a few times to ease the tightness in his chest, Lei Long stood up, leaning against the door frame.
A bright red footprint ran from his lips to his forehead, and five clear toe prints were lined up above his eyebrows.
Lin Ye looked at Lei Long, somewhat bewildered.
Looking back at the center of the hall, the trainees stood in three rows on the training platform.
They were all from his cohort; there were no older students. It must have been arranged this way on purpose.
What attracted the most attention was a figure dressed in black training clothes, standing barefoot next to the boxing pole, slowly retracting his right leg.
She is tall and slender, wears frameless glasses, is about 1.75 meters tall, and has long legs.
His tanned arms were bare, with clearly defined muscles, giving him a powerful look.
Her long black hair was simply tied in a high ponytail, and she looked to be no more than twenty years old. Even without makeup, she looked exquisite.
He was tall and agile, with a slender gold necklace around his neck, and there was an indescribable energy about him.
"hiss--!"
Lei Long gasped, looked at Lin Ye, and forced a pained smile.
"Excuse me, student, please join the ranks first. This is our branch's head coach, Coach Lin Feilin."
He raised his hand to cover his forehead and gently rubbed it, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"Senior brother! Over here!"
Yan Yi's voice came from the queue, and she stood in the line, raising her arm and waving.
"Student, please join the ranks."
Lin Fei looked up and glanced over. Her voice didn't sound feminine; it sounded like that of a boy who hadn't yet gone through puberty.
Lin Ye nodded, walked over quickly, and stood next to Yan Yi.
"What's going on?" he asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, I just arrived too, and I saw the head coach hitting the coach." Yan Yi replied softly.
She actually arrived only a few minutes earlier than Lin Ye, and by then the head coach had been beating Coach Lei for a while.
It has to be said, Coach Lei is indeed resilient.
This head coach can leave a footprint on a corrugated steel wooden floor that is as hard as steel; it's incredibly hard.
For an ordinary person, they could be kicked in two or their brains would be blown off.
As a result, Coach Lei only left a footprint on his face.
Practicing martial arts is exhilarating, and fighting is awesome!
This is what martial arts training should be like!
At the front of the line, Lin Fei crossed her arms and watched Lei Long carefully step forward with a hunched back, her brows furrowing in alarm.
"I told you to read the coach's manual more often, but you never listen!"
"What kind of crap did you teach in your introductory course?! The realms are just one, two, three, four, five?!"
"Is your brain filled with shit?! You want to go up the mountain and fight a tiger?!"
"I'm asking you a question! Are you deaf?! Are you deaf?!"
"Bang--!"
With a muffled thud, Lin Fei slammed her arm down onto the punching post beside her.
The outer leather covering shattered instantly, and the internal steel structure twisted ninety degrees in an instant.
