SRGA Chapter 12: The Strength of a Martial Arts Grandmaster
"Lin Tian, do you think the company is your home? Look at the time now, and you leisurely come over!"
"You're fired!"
When Lin Tian entered the company, the boss, Huang Ren, roared angrily.
"Oh really?"
"Then please settle my salary for this month and compensate me for three months' worth. That totals three months' salary. Thank you."
Lin Tian replied calmly.
He had been working at this company since graduation, and he had just completed a year.
"You're dreaming!"
"Fired for being lazy, and you still want compensation? Ridiculous!"
Huang Shun cursed angrily.
Lin Tian sneered, "The company rule is to start work at nine, and apart from today, have I ever been late before 8:30?"
"We all have to work at least an extra hour in the evening."
"Do you need me to apply for labor arbitration? Anyway, I've been fired now, and I have plenty of time to play with you."
Huang Ren's face changed slightly.
He realized that with Lin Tian's situation, if he applied for labor arbitration, he would likely win.
"Go to work properly. Today, I won't count you as late."
Huang Ren took a deep breath and said.
He planned to find an opportunity to fire Lin Tian later.
Or force Lin Tian to resign himself.
Lin Tian chuckled, "You can fire me whenever you want, but you'll settle three months' worth of salary for me within ten minutes."
"If you exceed the time, we'll go through the arbitration process. By then, you might have to pay me for the overtime in the morning and evening."
Huang Ren stared at Lin Tian fiercely.
He couldn't understand why Lin Tian suddenly became so bold.
"Settle it for him!"
"After receiving the money, Lin Tian, get out!"
Five minutes passed, and Huang Ren said angrily with a dark face.
The finance department quickly settled Lin Tian's salary, totaling over thirteen thousand yuan for three months, enough for him to sustain himself for a while.
"Huang Ren, to be honest with you, I actually came here today to resign. You even fired me and gave me an extra nine thousand yuan."
"You're a good person."
Lin Tian smiled.
Huang Ren's eyes widened, and he was so angry that he felt like spitting blood. Nine thousand yuan wasn't a small sum, considering that his company had only about twenty to thirty employees.
"Everyone, the next time Huang Ren says he wants to fire you, if you're thinking of resigning, you might as well go along with it."
"Remember to get your compensation and bid farewell."
Lin Tian waved his hand and left gracefully.
"What are you looking at? Get back to work!"
Huang Ren suppressed his anger and said, feeling extremely irritated by Lin Tian.
---
Half an hour later, Lin Tian arrived at an abandoned building.
The area around the abandoned building was overgrown with weeds up to half a meter high.
It was rumored that the developer of this building had financial difficulties. He went to a casino on the high seas to try his luck and ended up losing everything.
The construction of this abandoned building had been halted for over a year. Initially, some people came to take a look, but now there were only stray cats and dogs in the vicinity.
"Let's try the speed first."
Lin Tian dashed out like a fierce tiger.
The commercial area below the abandoned building was large enough for him to conduct tests.
"Hoo!" "Hoo!"
Lin Tian advanced at extreme speed, creating bursts of breaking wind. With a light tap of his toe, he could glide out more than ten meters.
Time passed by, and after about ten minutes, Lin Tian stopped.
His breathing was still steady.
"Speed of eighty kilometers per hour, similar to a tiger. It's slower than a cheetah by quite a bit, but my endurance is much stronger."
A faint smile appeared on Lin Tian's face.
A cheetah could reach speeds of up to 120 kilometers per hour, but it could only maintain that speed for about ten seconds. He, on the other hand, could maintain extreme speed for two to three hours.
As a martial arts grandmaster, Lin Tian's internal energy was inexhaustible.
"Let's try internal energy."
Lin Tian took a deep breath, and his powerful true energy emitted outward. Bricks around him floated mysteriously, and then ten or so bricks were controlled by him to rotate rapidly, eventually smashing into the solid concrete wall.
The concrete wall was dented by the impact of the bricks.
It was important to note that the concrete wall below the building was of high quality. Even with a large sledgehammer, it would be difficult to create a dent.
"Is this the strength of a martial arts grandmaster?"
"My strength is much greater than what's depicted in TV dramas, even surpassing Qiao Feng."
Lin Tian thought to himself. He estimated that his strength should be comparable to Zhang Sanfeng, who was also in the realm of a martial arts grandmaster.
The bricks he controlled just now were ordinary bricks. If he were to control flying knives made of super-strong alloy, the destructive power would definitely skyrocket.
Bending down, Lin Tian picked up a straw.
"Go!"
He swung his hand, and the straw, imbued with his powerful energy, flew out instantly, piercing into the concrete wall ten meters away.
Lin Tian walked closer to inspect.
The straw had penetrated about two centimeters into the wall.
This was already remarkable.
The concrete wall, even if it was of a high standard, would find it difficult to be penetrated by two centimeters with a large steel nail.
If this straw hit a person, it could easily pierce through their head.
"At close range, my attack power should be stronger than a pistol. With full defense, I estimate I could even withstand handgun bullets."
A faint smile appeared on Lin Tian's face.
This was already very good.
After all, he was in China. Not to mention rifles or sniper rifles, handguns were hard for ordinary people to come by. The chances of encountering danger were very low.
"Let's try lightness skill."
Lin Tian's figure leaped swiftly between different floors.
When flying upwards, he could jump three zhang, which was about ten meters high. It should be no problem for him to fly using grass or tree branches.
As for crossing a river with a reed, like what Bodhidharma did, that might not be achievable.
"Hoo!"
Half an hour passed, and Lin Tian completed various tests. He exhaled a breath of relief, excitement evident on his face.
Compared to his greatly enhanced strength, making money was just a trivial matter.
After all, with powerful strength, acquiring wealth was not difficult.
"This feels great! I've made a fortune by marrying Luo Bingning."
Lin Tian grinned from ear to ear. If the skill of the Erhu Master was worth one hundred million, then the skill of a martial arts grandmaster would be worth at least ten billion.
"Uh..."
Lin Tian was stunned.
He suddenly thought of a problem.
There was a significant difference in value between the two skills. Most likely, there was another level of treasure chest between the black iron treasure chest and the silver treasure chest.
If that was the case, getting a silver treasure chest in the future might be much harder.
"
Could it be that there was a hidden benefit for the first time, which is why I got the silver treasure chest?"
Lin Tian muttered to himself.
"Whatever, I won't think too much about it. Even if I only get black iron treasure chests in the future, it's still very good. The value of black iron treasure chests is also very high."
Lin Tian quickly left the abandoned building.
"Xiao Lin, congratulations! You've reached three million followers."
"Why not post two videos to celebrate?"
Lin Tian received a voice message from Wu Lao.
"Three million followers?"
Lin Tian opened the Huayin app, and indeed, his followers had reached three million. It hadn't even been a day since his last video.
"Wu Lao, thanks to your recommendations."
"I'm deeply grateful."
Lin Tian quickly replied.
"Don't just be grateful in words. Hurry up and post two videos. Also, get a better recording device as soon as possible. Your skills are high, but your equipment is really mediocre."
Lin Tian looked at his phone.
He bought this phone for two thousand yuan and had been using it for five years.
