While Lou Cheng was still in shock, the old face with fewer wrinkles appeared in front of him again. He was shocked again.
"Master, why are you back again?"
Geezer Shi laughed. "I forgot to say. Since you're my disciple, from tomorrow on, wake up at 5: 30 and wait for me here at 5: 50. Do two more hours of training before the special training."
"Wake up at 5: 30?" Lou Cheng asked in surprise. It was still dark at that time, right? He didn't have to work so hard in the third year of high school!
How many hours could he sleep if he woke up at 5: 30 every day? If he continued to train, even if he had the Jindan, he might pee blood!
"What? You don't want to wake up? " Geezer Shi touched the sparse white beard on his chin. "You've missed the best age for training your body. If you want to reach Professional Ninth Pin in one or two years, how can you make up for it if you don't work hard? Diligence makes up for stupidity. Kid, you'll suffer if you don't listen to your elders! "
Lou Cheng was silent for a moment. Thinking of his recent expectations of martial arts, he finally nodded and said, "I can get up, but the door of every dormitory only opens at 6: 30?"
"It's okay. I'll get someone to give you the key to the dormitory door." Geezer Shi waved his hand with a nonchalant look on his face. "Waking up at 5: 30 is the best time for cultivation in ancient times. You also need to get enough sleep, so you must sleep at 10: 30 every day. I'll call you to remind you."
Sleep at 10: 30? Lights out at 12 … Lou Cheng almost gasped. This meant that he had almost no time for entertainment.
Every night, except for Thursdays and Saturdays, he had classes from 7 pm to 9: 35 pm. When he returned to the dormitory and finished washing up, it would be around 10 pm. The remaining half an hour was not enough for him to chat on QQ or browse the forums. As for games, he could only chuckle …
Could it be that he could only relax during class breaks and lunch breaks?
As for skipping classes to have fun, Lou Cheng couldn't do it for the time being. If his grades were not good, how could he face his mom and dad?
Forget it. No pain, no gain. I'll try it for a semester and see how much progress I've made. Just treat it as another third year of high school!
Lou Cheng exhaled and answered, "I, your disciple will go to bed on time."
Geezer Shi nodded slightly. "And, do you smoke?"
"Yes." Lou Cheng didn't dare to hide.
"I quit!" Geezer Shi said mercilessly, "You haven't completed your physical training yet. Smoking and drinking are harmful to your body. That Wu Dong from the Martial Arts Club has damaged his body because of smoking and drinking. He's already half-crippled. Well, you should quit drinking too!"
"Yes." Lou Cheng was not addicted to cigarettes and alcohol, so he only felt slightly uncomfortable about quitting them.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Geezer Shi continued asking.
"No …" Lou Cheng suddenly paused and said fearfully, "What if there is?"
"Quit it too." Geezer Shi's expression was serious.
What? He even quit his girlfriend? Just as Lou Cheng was breaking out in cold sweat, Geezer Shi suddenly showed an indecent smile. "Well, what I mean is, if you have a girlfriend, you should arrange your martial arts, study and dating time reasonably. Don't neglect her. If you get dumped, you'll be sad and hurt your body. Also, although you're young, you should still control your sex. If you don't have a girlfriend, your left and right hands need self-discipline. Haha, that's all for now. Tomorrow morning, at 5: 50 a.m., wait here on time. I'll teach you a few stances of the Shangqing Sect and the Ice Sect.
Since the beginning of the Martial Dao, there were many sects, but the Five Sects Secret Arts were the most famous. Therefore, many sects, even if they were not Daoist martial arts, would name their own martial arts in the form of the Five Sects Secret Arts, such as the Ice Sect Secret Arts and the Water Sect Secret Arts.
Lou Cheng was refreshed and suddenly didn't resist going to bed and waking up early.
Since the master-disciple relationship couldn't be spread, he waited until Geezer Shi was far away before running to the Martial Arts Club gym. When he arrived, he was already the last one.
Compared to yesterday's martial arts class, there were only a dozen people today. Chen Changhua and Wu Dong were seniors, Sun Jian, Lin Hua and Wu Meng were juniors, Jiang Fusheng, Li Mao and Li Xiaowen were sophomores, and Lin Que, Guo Qing, Yan Zheke, Lou Cheng and Xu Qiubai were freshmen. More than half of them were freshmen. One reason was that the sophomores and juniors were busy looking for jobs, and the other reason was that Yan Zheke, the most beautiful girl of the Martial Arts Club, had signed up, which attracted many boys of the same year.
Therefore, at first glance, Lou Cheng found that the group was quite masculine. Except for Yan Zheke, there were only Lin Hua, Li Xiaowen and Guo Qing. Guo Qing was tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Her arms were as thick as a normal person's thigh, but her martial arts level was good. She was second only to Lin Que among the freshmen. Like Cai Zongming, she was of Amateur Fifth Pin.
As for the postgraduates, of course, they were busy working for their "boss". How could they have time to participate in the Martial Arts Club activities?
"I went for a jog first. I was almost late." Seeing that Yan Zheke was the only one familiar, Lou Cheng plucked up his courage and shamelessly squeezed through the crowd to say hello.
Yan Zheke pursed her lips and smiled. "I thought you would give up after what I said yesterday."
"Why would I? I have a devout love for martial arts, "Lou Cheng said in an exaggerated tone. "Yesterday I didn't rest at all. After washing my face and brushing my teeth in the dormitory, I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes. I just lay on the bed and fell asleep after a while."
But he didn't chat with Yan Zheke.
Yan Zheke smiled faintly. "Me too. In the morning, martial arts class. In the afternoon, advanced mathematics and Introduction to Philosophy as an elective. In the evening, English. When I got back to the dormitory, I almost didn't want to take a shower and just fell asleep smelly."
"Which school are you in?" Lou Cheng just realized that he had forgotten to ask.
"The School of Business and Economics …" Yan Zheke stopped when Geezer Shi came in.
Most of the special training in front of him was the same as the previous martial arts class: pole-standing, strength training, and footwork practice. Lou Cheng was very engrossed, especially in pole-standing and footwork practice. He felt like a fish in water and could almost intuitively feel his own progress bit by bit. As for strength training, Lou Cheng relied on the Jindan to recover from fatigue and carried out continuous and coordinated training. He could also feel his gains.
After three hours of hard training, it was 11 o 'clock. Geezer Shi gathered everyone and said with a smile,
"Next is the basic movement and strength training. Then you have half an hour to practice with each other. Two people will be in a group and the level of your martial arts will be matched. Lin Que, because it's an odd number, you will be in a group with Sun Jian and Xu Qiubai. You will guide them and practice with them separately. Your level of martial arts is higher than the others, so you won't be able to find an evenly matched opponent in a short time. So, change your perspective and be a coach.
Lin Que nodded silently and didn't object.
Geezer Shi continued to assign groups. "… Guo Qing, you guide Yan Zheke. Lin Hua, you practice with Li Xiaowen. Li Mao, you and Lou Cheng are in a group …"
Li Mao was a senior brother in his sophomore year. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, broad shoulders, and a hearty smile. He still remembered Lou Cheng, the first student with no rank, so he walked directly to him and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Lou, nice to meet you."
"I should be the one saying that." Lou Cheng returned the courtesy and then changed the topic. "Senior Brother Li, which Amateur Pin are you?"
"Third Pin." Li Mao was quite proud.
"Then you are second only to Club President Chen and Senior Brother Wu Dong, and almost the same as Senior Brother Sun Jian? Well, before Lin Que came in. " Lou Cheng only knew the ranks of Chen Changhua and Wu Dong because they were in charge of the recruitment. One of them was of Amateur First Pin and had the potential to reach Professional Ninth Pin, but he injured his hand yesterday and might not be able to make it to the Ranking Event. The other was of Amateur Second Pin, which was not bad in the university.
Lou Cheng had just finished his words when he heard a heavy snort. He turned around and saw Senior Brother Wu Dong, who was not very tall, and the freshman he was guiding just happened to pass by and were heading to an open space.
Looking at Senior Brother Wu Dong's gloomy face, Lou Cheng didn't say anything subconsciously. When they were far away, Lou Cheng heard Li Mao say with a sneer, "Senior Brother Wu Dong still looks like a ghost."
"What?" Lou Cheng asked in confusion.
Li Mao looked around and lowered his voice. "Chen Changhua and Wu Dong are partly responsible for the decline of the Martial Arts Society. They are narrow-minded and can't stand others doing well. No matter if they are old or new, as long as they show more potential than them, they will join hands to exclude them and force them not to participate in the activities of the Martial Arts Society. There used to be a lot of talented sophomores, juniors, and seniors, but now they have wasted at least a year and their courses are tight, so they can't improve anymore."
Speaking of this, he laughed at himself. "If I didn't have a good relationship with Senior Brother Sun Jian, I might have devoted myself to the professional courses."
"Senior Brother Sun Jian can compete with Chen Changhua and Wu Dong?" Lou Cheng was shocked. He didn't expect such a thing to happen in the Martial Arts Society.
"Although Senior Brother Sun Jian is of Amateur Third Pin like me, his father is a professor, so Chen Changhua and Wu Dong don't dare to do anything to him. But Senior Brother Sun Jian doesn't like to meddle, so he helps me and Lin Hua, well, his girlfriend." Li Mao explained.
In other words, Wu Meng, Jiang Fusheng, and Li Xiaowen were relatively ordinary and not a threat, which could be seen from the fact that they were only of Amateur Fifth Pin.
"I see. No wonder Cai Zongming of Amateur Fifth Pin received a call from the Martial Arts Society first." Lou Cheng suddenly understood. "Fortunately, we have Lin Que in this year. He beat Chen Changhua directly."
Li Mao smiled. "So you can focus on practicing martial arts. Don't worry about Chen Changhua and Wu Dong's bad luck. Well, I'll teach you some moves and force exertion techniques."
Although they were called moves, they were actually the simplest things like straight punches, elbows, knees, and so on. They were combined with footwork and force exertion techniques such as uppercuts, sliding steps, and cushioning steps. The focus was on the latter, but if the footwork and posture were wrong, it would be difficult to exert force.
Lou Cheng studied diligently. Because of the "Yin-Yang Stance", his coordination ability was better than a beginner's, so he soon got the hang of it. He began to practice more to familiarize himself with it.
Unknowingly, it was the last half hour. Li Mao called for a stop and asked Geezer Shi. Then he smiled and said,
"Junior Brother Lou, come, let's practice. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Lou Cheng suddenly tensed up. He was a little panicked, but also a little excited. This was his first practice!
