Ah Liang has already practiced 10 of the 18th set of broadcast gymnastics. The difficulty of this set of movements increases as you go further. At the beginning, he could only do 5 movements a day, but later he was already considered good if he could do one a day. At Ah Liang's pace, it would take him a month to learn all 18 movements.
Once Ah Liang can perform the eighth set of broadcast gymnastics in its entirety, his combat power will likely break through to double digits, making him a superhuman among humans. He will be able to withstand a shotgun without any problem and watch his opponent dodge bullets. Of course, this only applies to ordinary guns; he won't be able to handle those with greater firepower.
On the sixth day of Ah Liang's apprenticeship, the Zhenwu Dojo welcomed its second student who wanted to learn. Interestingly, this student was a woman, and a very beautiful one at that.
"It's her? What's she doing here?"
Ah Liang recognized the woman who had asked him the question; she was Qiu Ning, a school beauty. She was said to be from a very wealthy family, a typical "rich, beautiful, and fair-skinned" woman. The number of men pursuing her at school could fill several classes.
"You only accept students who want to learn True Martial Arts? And you don't charge tuition? And you're the only person in charge and teacher at the martial arts school?"
Qiu Ning looked at Yi Shuihan in surprise, hesitating whether she should really study here, but soon her eyes hardened and she chose to join Zhenwu Dojo.
In fact, a rich and beautiful woman like Qiu Ning could easily hire a martial arts master as her private instructor; there's no need for her to go to a martial arts school specifically to learn. Her choice of Zhenwu Martial Arts School is related to A Liang.
Although Ah Liang had stopped studying, he still had to go home to live every day. The night before last, Qiu Ning saw Ah Liang fight seven big men with his bare hands, which made her interested in Ah Liang. Then she found out about the Zhenwu Martial Arts Academy, which led to the scene we see now.
"If you want to study with me, you must first suspend your studies. If you fail to meet my requirements and choose to quit halfway, I will take back everything you have gained from me."
"Get it back?"
Qiu Ning was somewhat confused by Yi Shuihan's meaning, but Yi Shuihan did not explain, only smiled mysteriously.
“Miss, I think you should forget about it. If you really want to learn martial arts, I know a famous martial artist who can be your private instructor.”
A man wearing sunglasses, clearly a bodyguard, spoke to Qiu Ning.
"This is it. Help me complete the leave of absence procedures tomorrow."
"The master will not allow you to do that."
I will tell my dad about this.
Qiu Ning insisted on her opinion, and the bodyguards, unable to do anything about it, turned their attention to Yi Shuihan.
"Boy, I don't care how you bewitched my young lady. Now you tell her right now that you're a liar and there's no Zhenwu here at all, or don't blame me for being impolite."
This bodyguard is quite capable, with a combat strength of about 3 points. He can easily handle three to five big men.
Qiu Ning did not stop her bodyguards, seemingly wanting to test Yi Shuihan as well.
Yi Shuihan wouldn't let them test him, so he beckoned to A Liang, who was peeking, and told him to come over.
"Teacher Yi, what can I do for you?"
Ah Liang looked at Yi Shuihan with exceptional respect. These past few days of contact had almost turned him into a die-hard fan of Yi Shuihan.
"You have 10 seconds to knock him down. If you can't do that, you'll voluntarily leave the martial arts gym!"
He pointed at the bodyguard and said somewhat lazily.
"Understood, I will definitely do it."
Ah Liang responded and beckoned to the bodyguard, signaling him to attack.
Enraged by Yi Shuihan and A Liang's attitude, the bodyguard took off his shirt, revealing his incredibly well-developed muscles, exuding a powerful aura.
"Kid, it's not too late to get out of the way now."
"No need, uncle, hurry up, there are only 6 seconds left, if you don't make a move I'm going to attack."
"Then let me weigh you."
Without further ado, the bodyguard threw a punch the size of a sandbag, which turned into a grappling move halfway through as Ah Liang dodged. It was clear that he was quite skilled at this technique.
"caught you."
Having grabbed Ah Liang's shoulder, the bodyguard thought the battle was over. He believed that anyone who was caught by his grip, even if they were stronger than him, would be unable to break free.
"Yes! They caught me."
Ah Liang's voice rang out, and a simple straight punch landed on the bodyguard's abdomen. The bodyguard's eyes instantly rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground.
With just one punch, the bodyguard was knocked down, and the difference in strength between the two was self-evident.
"Teacher Yi, exactly 10 seconds."
Ah Liang said with a hint of pride.
"Snapped"
A Liang was greeted with a slap from Yi Shuihan, which made A Liang cover his head, looking completely innocent.
"You're so proud of defeating a piece of trash with a combat power of less than five? Next time, if you can't finish the fight in 3 seconds, you should just leave."
After teaching A-Liang a lesson, Yi Shuihan asked Qiu Ning, whose eyes were now shining brightly.
"So? Have you made your decision yet? If you want to stay, sign here."
He took out a contract covered in writing.
"What is this? Why didn't I sign it?"
Ah Liang asked curiously.
"Here's your share, sign it!"
He then took out another contract with even more words and handed it to Ah Liang.
"Zhenwu Dojo Student Responsibility Agreement: If I, A-Liang, die accidentally during my studies at Zhenwu Dojo, the Dojo Master will not bear any responsibility. Accidental death includes being beaten to death by the Master, starving to death by the Master for failing to complete training tasks, and any act of betraying Zhenwu Dojo will be punished by the Master. Death due to such acts will also be considered accidental death..."
Chapter 927, From Ordinary to Extraordinary
After skimming through it, Ah Liang was already drenched in sweat. This wasn't a student responsibility agreement; it was clearly a contract of servitude. If he signed it, Yi Shuihan could kill or torture him at will, and the law wouldn't be able to touch him.
Qiu Ning, who was standing to the side, had also finished reading her own Zhenwu Dojo student responsibility agreement. Except for the beginning where "I am A Liang" was changed to "I am Qiu Ning", the rest was almost identical to A Liang's.
Qiu Ning's originally firm resolve wavered instantly, after all, once she signed the document, she would have no control over what she wanted to do.
"Can you explain what this clause means? During martial arts training, if you don't meet the teacher's requirements, you are not allowed to have any contact with any member of the opposite sex, except for the teacher?"
"This is to prevent you from being half-hearted when you are learning martial arts. Only by focusing your mind on learning martial arts can you achieve something. As for the teacher, you can ignore that. Anyway, I would never like a little girl like you."
"I'm not some little brat, I have plenty of suitors, okay?"
Qiu Ning said with a mixture of embarrassment and anger.
"I sign."
Ah Liang suddenly spoke, and then resolutely chose to sign the responsibility agreement. He believed that Yi Shuihan would not lie to him, and that with Yi Shuihan's strength, there was no need for him to lie to him.
A-Liang's signature spurred Qiu Ning into signing as well. In a moment of impulsiveness, she followed suit, but regretted it immediately afterward, realizing she had acted rashly.
Yi Shuihan casually put away the two responsibility agreements in front of the two of them and placed them in the drawer of the table. A Liang didn't seem to notice anything, but Qiu Ning's gaze flickered as she looked at the table.
All of this was naturally under Yi Shuihan's watchful eye. He did it on purpose, just to test the two of them. If either of them tried to steal the letter of responsibility, then sorry, they would be kicked out and never hired again.
One can imagine what kind of treatment the two people who were expelled from the Zhenwu Dojo would receive in an era when everyone practices martial arts; they would probably be despised by everyone.
The next day, a group of armed men in black stormed into the Zhenwu Dojo. Among them was Qiu Ning, who was dressed in a martial arts uniform. Qiu Ning's face looked very pale.
"Teacher Yi, I'm sorry."
She walked gracefully to Yi Shuihan and whispered.
"Take out my daughter's letter of responsibility, then kneel down and admit your mistakes, and I might spare your life."
Qiu Ning's father was a middle-aged, refined man, but his demeanor was completely ruined the moment he opened his mouth; he looked exactly like a mafia boss.
Qiu Ning's father is named Qiu Hu, and his personality is indeed a bit fierce, but it has nothing to do with his appearance.
"Teacher Yi!"
Ah Liang was terrified by this unprecedented scene. These people weren't holding hunting rifles, but proper submachine guns. If Ah Liang went up there, he would be riddled with bullets in no time.
Yi Shuihan gave A Liang a reassuring look, then ignored Qiu Ning's father, Qiu Hu, and looked at Qiu Ning, asking...
"What are your thoughts? If you choose to leave the Shinbu Dojo, I can give you the letter of responsibility. If you choose to stay, I will help you overcome any obstacles."
"me……"
“You still dare to bewitch my daughter even at this point? You’re very good. Since that’s the case, let’s see if you’re made of steel. Shoot his legs off first and make him kneel down to talk.”
"It's the boss."
"Wait, I don't want to study here anymore, Dad, let's go, okay?"
"Is this what you really mean?"
"be mine……"
Qiu Ning stopped speaking because she suddenly realized that something was wrong with her surroundings. It was unusually quiet. She looked back and her pupils contracted instantly.
Not far away, her father, Qiu Hu, and the bodyguards who came with them remained motionless, as if the pause button had been pressed.
“Speak your mind. Don’t worry, I can’t solve this problem. These toys are nothing compared to what I have.”
Yi Shuihan spoke again.
"Did Teacher Yi make this?"
Qiu Ning stared at Yi Shuihan in disbelief. After confirming the result, she felt her worldview had been overturned. Although she had guessed that Yi Shuihan might be extraordinary, she had never imagined that Yi Shuihan would have such a magical ability. She was certain that this was not just a freezing spell, because she saw that her father's watch had stopped moving.
Time has stopped? Or something else entirely?
Regardless of what it is, Yi Shuihan's power is beyond doubt. With such abilities, firearms are simply useless, and even nothing at all, because Yi Shuihan will not give you time to use them.
"Can this ability also be acquired through training?"
Qiu Ning looked at Yi Shuihan with anticipation.
"of course."
He nodded slightly, looking at Qiu Ning's flushed face, which seemed to be flushed with excitement, and silently added in his mind, "The possibility of you learning this ability is practically zero."
Approaching nothing is not entirely impossible, and Yi Shuihan's words were not entirely a lie.
"Teacher, I want to learn Zhenwu."
Qiu Ning looked at Yi Shuihan with longing and spoke her heart.
As soon as those words were spoken, everything around them instantly returned to normal.
"Continue."
Qiu Hu was determined to teach Yi Shuihan a lesson and paid no attention to his daughter's words.
"Da da da!"
Flames danced in the dojo, but Yi Shuihan remained unmoved in the face of the hail of bullets, letting the bullets hit him.
However, within seconds, Yi Shuihan's feet were riddled with bullets, yet he was unharmed, and his clothes were not even torn.
"what?"
"How can this be!"
"The bullets are useless!?"
Everyone was shocked, staring blankly at Yi Shuihan as if he were a monster. They simply couldn't accept what they were seeing.
"Zhenwu is a martial art that transforms people from ordinary to extraordinary. As long as you master the essence of Zhenwu, not to mention bullets, even cannons cannot harm you in the slightest. When you practice it to a high level, you can easily break mountains and rivers with a wave of your hand and shatter stars with your feet."
Yi Shuihan's voice was magnetic, slowly resonating in everyone's hearts and shaking their souls.
So this is the kind of terrifying thing that the Zhenwu Dojo teaches?
Chapter 928, Turned into a mouse and placed together
"It's even more exaggerated than what he said last time, but why did I believe Teacher Yi so easily?"
Ah Liang muttered to himself, looking at Yi Shuihan with admiration, thinking that Yi Shuihan was the most powerful person in the world.
"For Qiu Ning's sake, whoever fired the shot should shoot themselves in the leg, and then they can leave."
Hearing Yi Shuihan's words, the men in black almost cried. "Brother, we're just following orders. Do you have to be so ruthless?"
They all wanted to say, "Go find our boss to settle the score with; we'll absolutely keep quiet."
Looking at his boss with resentment, hoping that his boss could speak up for them, Qiu Hu was still in shock from Yi Shuihan's heroic act of withstanding bullets.
The underlings hesitated. No normal person would willingly shoot themselves, but they had already witnessed how terrifying Yi Shuihan was, and they couldn't imagine what would happen if they didn't do as he said.
"Don't be fooled by him, everyone. He's only good at defense and not at offense, which is why he's making us fight each other."
One of the underlings suddenly shouted, and the others wavered upon hearing his words. Seeing that his words had worked, he proudly raised his head, wanting to say a few more words to belittle Yi Shuihan. However, at that moment, he found that he could not speak, and the people around him looked at him with utter horror.
"What's wrong? Why are they looking at me like that? Out of all these people, am I the only one who saw through their bluff? Shouldn't they be looking at me with admiration and respect? Huh? What am I? I'm... grass. I really want to eat grass. Why do I want to eat grass? Grass, green, I like it..."
