On the surface, Tian Linnan seems like a muscle-bound simpleton.

But in reality, his mind is far from simple.

He was once a professional athlete in the national Free Fighting team.

He won third place in an international competition.

After retiring, he took over the family security company.

Under his management, the company achieved impressive results.

Last year, the company’s total revenue reached 300 million, with a net profit of 130 million.

Through these years of business, Tian Linnan’s personal assets alone surpassed 100 million.

When the old man of the family passes away in the future, he will inherit at least another billion or more.

As it turns out, he’s an authentic wealthy second generation.

Even in the power-packed Beijing Circle, Tian Linnan’s family stands among the elite.

Among Master Jing, the wealthy second generation, and the professional Free Fighting athlete identities,

Tian Linnan still prefers the identity of a professional Free Fighting athlete.

Even though he’s long retired, he hasn’t forgotten this identity.

Over the years, he has recruited professional Free Fighting athletes who, like him, have retired from the national team, offering high salaries.

Today, the "Heng and Ha Generals" Cao Hu and Ma Yue, who came with him, were his former teammates.

In the domestic Free Fighting circle, Tian Linnan is one of the popular representative figures.

Now, when Jiang Tao says he wants to instruct him in Free Fighting,

it feels as absurd to Tian Linnan as an obscure passerby saying he wants to instruct Messi in soccer.

However...

Although he hasn’t heard of Jiang Tao domestically,

the strength Jiang Tao displayed just now still won the respect of Tian Linnan and his team.

Jiang Tao’s height of 1.85 meters seemed "petite" compared to them,

yet he burst out with greater power than any of them.

This is quite unbelievable.

Seeing Tian Linnan seemingly unimpressed, Jiang Tao felt a bit nervous.

His approach was perhaps too direct, so it was normal if the fish didn’t bite.

The reward for the "Master and Disciple" mission is quite generous, it can’t just go to waste.

"I see you seem to like Free Fighting too, but your skills are a bit weak."

As Jiang Tao spoke, the expressions on Tian Linnan’s team, along with Han Rui standing to the side, became peculiar.

After all, Tian Linnan was from the national team.

Though he hadn’t been in the Olympics, he’d participated in many international competitions, winning medals and taking the stage.

In terms of physical fitness, strength, and technique, he was top-notch.

If he were considered weak, few in the global Free Fighting circle would meet Jiang Tao’s standards.

Amidst the group’s astonished gazes, Jiang Tao continued:

"If you’re willing to become a disciple, I could guide you.

I’m confident I can improve your skills to be double what they are now."

"What! Double the improvement?"

"That, how can it be possible!"

"If Brother Nan’s skills improved by double, he could easily win an Olympic gold!"

Jiang Tao’s statement led Tian Linnan’s group to express doubt.

Even Han Rui frowned slightly, feeling Jiang Tao’s boast was a bit much.

Tian Linnan looked at Jiang Tao seriously and asked:

"Do you know what I used to do? Do you dare to boast here?"

Jiang Tao countered, "Do I need to know?"

"I was the deputy captain of the former national Free Fighting team, and my coach is an Olympic champion!"

"Are you saying you know Free Fighting better than me, better than my coach?"

Tian Linnan looked at Jiang Tao seriously.

Though he admitted Jiang Tao’s displayed ability was indeed strong, he wasn’t entirely convinced by him.

"Actions speak louder than words, wasn’t it already clear just now?"

"Or do you think I took down the three of you using brute force alone?"

Jiang Tao looked at Tian Linnan calmly, speaking in a relaxed tone:

"I might have overestimated your skills a bit earlier, so I used about 50% of my strength, which may not have allowed you to sense my technique."

"What! Only 50% strength?"

"That’s impossible!"

"This can’t be true."

Han Rui and the group were shocked again by Jiang Tao’s words.

To think that the combat prowess displayed when he took down the three of them was only at half strength?

Tian Linnan and his team felt greatly insulted!

Seeing Tian Linnan’s reaction, Jiang Tao chuckled internally.

Looks like his good disciple is about to take the bait.

"How about it? You don’t believe it? Want to go again?"

"This time I won’t use brute force, I’ll use Free Fighting rules to challenge the three of you."

Jiang Tao deliberately provoked Tian Linnan with disdain, accompanied by an extremely contemptuous look.

"You, you have such a big mouth!"

Tian Linnan felt greatly insulted, his anger rising.

Cao Hu and Ma Yue standing beside him were also infuriated, their fists clenching tightly.

After all, they are retired professional athletes from the national Free Fighting team.

At this moment, someone not even heard of in the circle dared to claim he would take on all three of them.

Moreover, without going all out, using only partial strength.

How can they tolerate this?

They must teach him a lesson and show him what Free Fighting truly is!

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost ready, Jiang Tao looked provocatively at Tian Linnan and said:

"Want to place a bet?"

Tian Linnan snorted in anger, "How to bet?"

"If the three of you win, I’ll call you masters whenever I see you."

"And if I win..."

Before Jiang Tao could finish, Tian Linnan interrupted to answer:
