Feeling justified after some reflection, Lin Yu comfortably accepted everyone's praises.

"Brother Long, what was that move you used that night?" "It was so cool!" "You were able to jump so high and kick those Scorpio gang members several meters away." An excited youth, clearly present during that rescue night and having witnessed Lin Yu's fighting skills, exclaimed with admiration.

Lin Yu looked at the admiring youth, pondered for a moment, and thought it might be beneficial to maintain good relations with them, possibly useful for situations where he might need extra hands in the future.

"Want to learn it?" "I could teach you," Lin Yu offered with a smile.

"Me?" The youth, his hair dyed red, pointed to himself somewhat shyly, scratching his head. "Could I really learn it?"

Of course, you can't! Lin Yu scoffed internally. What were you thinking? Each of my moves is the result of year-long practice, honed through countless hours of diligent study. Despite transferring to a body just slightly above average in this yellow-haired existence, I can still execute those moves because of my training.

You lot, wasting days on frivolous activities, think you could learn them? Dream on!

Despite his inner rant, Lin Yu maintained a cheerful demeanor, responding, "Why not? I'll teach you, and I guarantee you’ll someday fight ten at a time!"

"Really? That's awesome!" "Thanks, Brother Long!" "Thank you, Brother Long!" Witnessing their excitement, Lin Yu’s right eye, not hidden by his yellow hair, gleamed with amusement...

"Brother Long, you're incredible!" "That 'Flying Dragon' move was just like in the movies, soaring so high!" A member of the Black Blood Gang, his hair dyed pink, chimed in with flattery.

"Yeah, yeah!" "Even more skilled than those movie martial artists!" A gang member in a blue denim jacket agreed.

Lin Yu, carried away by the flattery, waved it off nonchalantly, stating, "Ah, it was nothing. Follow what I've taught you, and one day, you'll be as powerful as I am."

"Really, Brother Long?" "Could we become as formidable as you?" The youth with the pink hair asked eagerly, eyes shining.

Of course not, you fool! Lin Yu thought condescendingly while rolling his eyes inwardly. Just now, at the gym, Lin Yu showcased his lifetime of skills, dazzling this bunch of naive troublemakers with his smooth moves and explaining how to execute them. But, deep down, Lin Yu was certain they wouldn't master these techniques.

Martial arts require starting from the basics, just like academic studies. You need to learn the letters, phonetics, and the four operations in math before progressing to advanced subjects. Similarly, martial arts training begins with the basics, such as the horse stance and punching techniques, only after which one can learn footwork and complex moves.

What Lin Yu offered them was like giving last year's college entrance exam answers to a group of elementary students and proclaiming, "Memorize these, and you're set for the exam. Tsinghua and Peking Universities await!"

Utterly misleading! While Lin Yu didn't mind training them in martial arts, these individuals hardly seemed the type to diligently practice. Rather than investing effort only to foster resentment, why not introduce something fun for everyone?

"Of course!" Lin Yu boasted. "I don’t just teach these techniques to anyone. Stick with the training, and you'll gain strength like mine." Planning to sever ties after getting into college anyway, Lin Yu felt free to exaggerate.

His words left the group grinning from ear to ear, with some even fantasizing about becoming heroes who could take on ten at a time.

Close to noon, upon returning to the tavern, the Black Blood Gang members decided to express their gratitude by treating Lin Yu to a meal. After deciding where to eat, Lin Yu stood up from his table, sharing a laugh with everyone as he turned towards the tavern’s entrance.

Rising, Lin Yu was greeted by a sight that froze his smile in place. A bizarre sense of déjà vu washed over him, filling him with unexplained fear, causing Lin Yu to break into a cold sweat and momentarily blanking his mind.

This familiarity wasn't about a specific place or decoration but everything combined. In that precise moment, every detail aligned perfectly with his memory, not one hair out of place.

The man in a blue shirt seated by the door, his gaze fixed on his phone while gulping down beer, the young couple by the window bathed in sunlight silently sharing a laugh, and the drunken patron sleeping soundly with an arm as a pillow... Every single aspect matched Lin Yu’s memory to a tee.

The unsettling similarity kept Lin Yu rooted to his spot for a long breath before the man in the blue shirt put down his beer mug, cheerfully typing away on his phone. The couple reached out their hands toward each other, fingers intertwining tightly. Meanwhile, the sleeping patron shifted for a more comfortable position.

In what seemed like a blink of an eye, everything changed, and that chilling familiarity vanished. Lin Yu, who had barely managed to stand, collapsed back onto his chair, bewildered by the scene that no longer felt strangely familiar, alert for what might come next.

He knew, almost certainly, the storyline was about to unfold—the one from the adult comics.

And sure enough, within the next few moments, a woman with a dark expression burst through the door. At just one glance, Lin Yu recognized her.

Not because his memory was impressively sharp or he had a profound impression of this woman... Alright, it was profound! Not just when she was undressed!!! What made Lin Yu recognize her most distinctively was the unique familiarity from moments ago coupled with her voluptuous figure.

Such a figure... It was really hard not to recognize...
