Chapter 10 [Achievement: Rookie of the Whale Killing Hall]
Jiang Weilan was taken aback by Lin Ye's words, and after a few seconds she slowly nodded.
"Practicing martial arts is a good thing. You're so skinny, maybe you can gain some weight. How much is the registration fee?"
"We're still short two thousand," Lin Ye said.
Jiang Weilan took out her phone. "Okay, I've transferred it to you. It's okay if you don't do well; it's good to get some exercise."
Lin Ye glanced at his phone and transferred 3,000 yuan.
"There's one more thing. Yesterday, my professor contacted me and asked me to be his lab assistant during my senior year. He offered to reduce my tuition by 70%."
Jiang Weilan's hand holding the phone froze, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"70%! That means you only need to pay 18,000!"
Lin Ye nodded slightly.
Upon receiving confirmation, Jiang Weilan beamed with joy, "That's enough!"
"Buzzing~~"
Lin Ye's phone vibrated twice and then another 3,000 yuan was transferred to him.
"Take it, have fun during summer vacation, and ask Mom for more money if you need more."
"Oh, right, I'll buy you a laptop when school starts, it'll be convenient for you to use."
Jiang Weilan breathed a sigh of relief, her smile still lingering, her eyes filled with a mixture of relief and guilt.
After finishing his meal, Lin Ye tidied up and was about to head out to the Whale Kill Boxing Gym when his ears suddenly twitched.
"Brother, I don't need that money. I'll transfer it to you later."
"Keep it. Come back and see your father this Chinese New Year; the old man often talks about you."
"Bang."
Lin Ye looked towards his mother's room. As the door closed, the phone call stopped.
"uncle?"
A blurry figure in a black suit floated into my mind.
I don't have many memories of my uncle. The only impression I have is from when I was four years old, the year my father died at sea. I visited my maternal grandfather's house during the year-end.
Although I can't remember exactly, it must have been a fairly large villa, not in the coastal city, but quite far away.
"Click—"
I pushed open the door and headed straight for Whale Kill Boxing Gym without thinking twice.
An hour later, after passing through the alley of Qingchitai and arriving at the end of the commercial street, the Whale Kill Boxing Gym came into view.
This boxing gym is actually only one of the three branches of Whale Kill Boxing Gym; the real headquarters is located somewhere in the suburbs.
Looking at the boxing gym, there were significantly more people today than yesterday, with at least dozens coming and going.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the boxing gym, one's gaze falls upon the whale statue on the stone tablet to the right.
Last night, while searching for information about boxing gyms, I happened to see an introduction about this type of whale, which is called a "red whale".
These are giant sea monsters that lived during the ancient era; they were extremely dangerous and terrifying creatures.
Due to its terrifyingly violent and ferocious nature, it is also known as the "Demon Whale".
At that time, no creature in the ocean could rival it, and it became the absolute ruler of the ocean.
In addition, he also looked up some information about the ancient period.
That was an ancient period spanning an extremely long time.
According to geological analysis, during the long period of time from about 70 to 30 million years ago, there were many groups of giant beasts that were hundreds of meters tall on this planet.
For example, the red whale, a dominant marine predator at a certain time, can grow to over 300 meters in length when fully grown.
However, due to changes in the planet's environment, these giant beasts lost their habitat and became extinct within a few hundred years.
People today don't have any special feelings about that period; they just find it ordinary.
But for Lin Ye, it was as absurd as aliens seeing Earthlings living in a corrosive gas like oxygen.
A terrifying behemoth exceeding 300 meters in size—this doesn't seem normal at all.
He became increasingly convinced that this world once had a secret, extraordinary ancient history.
Pushing open the door to the boxing gym, the lobby floor was covered with gray rubber mats, and the basketball court was so big that it looked very simple.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, casting patches of light and creating a bright and airy feel.
Students dressed in matching black training uniforms were training freely in the hall.
Some were using equipment to build strength, some were practicing alone, and some were practicing moves against each other.
There are several training rooms outside the main hall, labeled with numerical serial numbers.
"Hello, would you like to register?"
Lin Ye looked to the side and saw an information desk. The receptionist was dressed in a uniform similar to that of a flight attendant and had a smile on her face.
"Yes," he replied.
The receptionist nodded politely and handed over a registration form.
"Just fill out this form and then pay the fee."
Lin Ye was taken aback. It went so smoothly?
Isn't it said that ancient martial arts have very high requirements for aptitude? Isn't there any process for testing aptitude?
The receptionist pushed the registration form towards the information desk, picked up a mechanical pencil from the side, and thoughtfully removed the cap.
"Hey kid, our gym is really good. Our coach can send a student flying seven or eight meters with just one punch. Choosing us is the right decision."
She looked intently at Lin Ye and sincerely spoke about the advantages of the boxing gym.
Lin Ye took a few steps forward, walked to the guide platform, and somewhat bewilderedly took the mechanical pencil.
"Hit the trainees? Shouldn't we be hitting the punching bag?"
The receptionist shook her head, giving a standard professional smile.
"The coach said that practicing martial arts and fighting is more fun than hitting a punching bag. It's not as exciting as hitting the trainees."
Lin Ye raised his head slightly, looking at the smiling receptionist. Is this... right?
After filling out the form and making the payment, the receptionist worked on the computer for a while and then handed me a card.
"Alright, Lin. All the information has been entered. Here's your student ID."
Lin Ye took the card. The card was dark black with a red whale pattern on the front.
On the back is his basic information, embedded with a metal magnet.
"Excuse me, what size do you wear?"
"XXL".
The receptionist crouched down and rummaged under the reception desk, taking out a black bag and a boxing manual.
"Here you go, this is our gym's uniform and boxing manual."
"The changing room is over there. After you change, you can go to training room number one. There are introductory courses there."
"Class starts at nine o'clock, it'll be a while later."
As she spoke, the receptionist gestured behind Lin Ye.
After receiving the boxing manual and training clothes, Lin Ye looked back and saw that the changing room was separated for men and women, with the entrance blocked by a black curtain.
"it is good."
He responded and headed towards the locker room.
Looking at the boxing manual in his hand, the black cover was covered with the words "Soul Whale Fist" written in red paint.
The moment I saw those three words, a string of black text appeared in front of my eyes.

The black text existed for only a single breath before turning into smoke and dissipating.
Lin Ye looked at the "Soul Whale Fist" in his hand and quickened his pace.
【"Soul Whale Fist" Level 1 (1/100)】
This (1/100) does not represent quantity, but experience value!
One potential point is equivalent to 100 experience points!
With just one potential point, he can skip directly from the first level and reach a higher level!
Damn it! I should have known better than to add more!
However, he quickly calmed down and realized that adding points was not a problem, allowing him to learn more about the monument.
Moreover, even if you have potential points, you can't use them now.
New students at the boxing gym can reach the second level of boxing techniques on their very first day, or even within the first hour, after receiving the boxing manual...
This isn't genius, this is freak, the kind that needs to be dissected.
Take a few deep breaths to calm your somewhat agitated emotions.
Lifting the curtain of the changing room, you'll find a large space inside, about a hundred square meters, with hundreds of metal lockers.
Find your assigned locker by your student card number, swipe your card to open it, and quickly change into your training clothes.
It's all black, very loose, but doesn't feel sag.
The material is also very comfortable, like ice silk, and the left chest is embroidered with a red whale pattern.
This training outfit alone would cost at least three to five hundred yuan on the market.
Looking at himself in the mirror behind the cabinet door, his facial features were clear, and his messy hair partially covered his forehead, making him look very youthful.
"I've lost some weight, but... it feels so good to be young."
He looked at himself in the mirror, and deep in his eyes flowed something called ambition.
My gaze fell on the boxing manual on the side, its black background and red characters giving it a profound feel.
Great power originates from within...
Practice! Practice the Soul Whale Fist!
I straightened my clothes and put my student ID in my pocket.
I took out my phone, opened my wallet, and saw my balance: 3998.6.
Looking at the pitiful number, he shook his head slightly.
The cost of ingredients for one bottle of Black Goat's Night is close to nine hundred, and last night's success may just have been due to luck.
If losses are taken into account, this amount of money might not even be enough to concoct two bottles of potion.
Furthermore, the "Delta Oil" achievement in the "Whale Killing Hall Newcomer" event is still unknown, and it might not be cheap.
That's really expensive!
Money.
He shook his head, put away his phone, and headed to Training Room Number One with the "Soul Whale Fist" manual in hand.
