Chapter 8: Purity

"Beep, beep, beep!"

The harsh sound of musical instruments appeared in the center of the dormitory area.

"Levi, Levi, Levi." Kaxiu was awakened by the continuous calls in his ears, and he opened his eyes blankly.

A fat face enlarged in front of him.

"Gather, the afternoon exercise is about to begin."

"Who are you?" Kaxiu climbed up with a confused expression. He only slept in the dormitory for one night and didn't remember the name of his roommate at all.

"Jioforni Joestar, you can also call me Qiao Qiao."

The fat face smiled naively.

Kaxiu paused in putting on his shoes and raised his head. This name is good, it sounds inexplicably like a strong man.

"I remember it, Qiao Qiao."

The sun shone obliquely on the playground, the dark shadows of the trees swayed with the wind, and a layer of golden light floated on the dome building.

"Don't underestimate the ordinary straight punch. If you master the straight punch, you have mastered half of the basics of boxing! It is the simplest and crudest attack. A well-trained straight punch is very fast and dangerous like a needle!" Lixia said and suddenly punched.

Her knuckles suddenly stopped one centimeter in front of Kashu's eyes.

"It feels like being pricked by a needle." Kashu narrowed his eyes.

"In fact, straight punches can be divided into many categories." Lixia retracted her fist and slowly said: "The most classic straight punch is a throwing action in a basic position, such as this!"

She suddenly stretched her arm forward and punched, and her front foot moved forward rapidly. The forearm recovered and the back foot moved forward to restore the posture.

"This is the basic. In addition, there are also actions such as light straight punches, heavy straight punches, distance straight punches, and counterattacks."

"You will naturally master these when you are proficient."

Lixia returned to her original position and continued to talk about the key points such as swinging punches and throwing punches. Fighting actions are not just about the upper body. Sometimes they often need to be coordinated with the footwork of the lower body.

So it is much more difficult to do the movements in a standard than you think.

"Okay, let's practice on the wooden stakes today." Lixia clapped her hands and asked the assistant to take a group of people to get the props.

After a while, twenty wooden stakes were neatly placed aside.

The height of the wooden stakes was about 1.6 meters, and the diameter was half of an adult. The surface was covered with a layer of light yellow unknown animal leather.

Under the leather, there seemed to be some straw sponge or something like that.

"Get familiar with it first." After Lixia finished speaking, she walked to the side of the tree and chatted with a middle-aged man who was also wearing the uniform of the Wind Elephant Sect, and occasionally pointed to several places around with her fingers.

"Pah pah pah..." "Dong dong dong..."

The students in gray and white clothes each picked a wooden stake and started punching in a proper manner. The movements were a little immature and stiff, and they were very enthusiastic, but not very standard.

The assistant would then demonstrate the standard movements to him next to him, and sometimes he would punch a few times next to the wooden stakes himself.

At the edge of the wooden stake group, Kashu punched the light yellow wooden stakes one by one like the others around him. Unlike the students next to him, he would subconsciously look up every time he fought for a while. Until one moment, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fighting moves (beginner): 0.1%"

It came out, and the progress bar was really reassuring.

"In my memory, Levi's root bone is medium, and Li Chu is a little worse, with a root bone of medium and low. The two siblings are considered to have a talent for martial arts. When their bodies develop and their foundation is made up, there will probably be a period of rapid improvement. At that time, the progress bar should increase quickly..."

Kaxiu threw a straight punch, and the wooden stake shook. "Eat more and practice more, this is my goal for the next period of time."

"Raise your hands a little higher! Are you hitting the enemy's chest or the enemy's kidney?" Lixia walked slowly through the crowd.

"Soft, a grown man has only this little strength?"

"Footsteps! Footsteps! I don't ask you to do it to the standard, but at least you have to have the attitude. Fists and footsteps match!"

Instructor Lixia, wearing beige clothes, walked step by step.

Kashu didn't say a word, but his fists were hitting faster and harder. He always felt that Lisha was coming to mess with him.

As it turned out, Kashu's premonition was not wrong.

Lisha stayed beside him for ten minutes. If Kashu's movements were slightly out of shape, he would be scolded and corrected. The students around him looked at him and gloated.

Some people even felt embarrassed for Kashu.

But the person himself didn't feel that way.

Kashu understood that Lisha was helping him. Although scolding is not very pleasant to hear, it can help beginners learn lessons quickly. Impressed, they will not make the same mistake next time.

Feeling Lisha's "enthusiasm" of teaching, Kashu even felt that she was not a teacher who taught twenty people at the same time, but a master.

The other party seemed to treat him as an apprentice.

So he listened very seriously. Lisha pointed out the mistakes in the movements that were not standard, and Kashu tried his best to correct them.

Bang! A straight punch hit the leather on the surface of the wooden stake.

The words in the corner of his eyes jumped.

"Fighting moves (elementary): 0.2%"

In less than ten minutes, 0.1% was added. It took Kaxiu nearly an hour to achieve the 0.1% at the beginning. Therefore, standard movements and the experience of those who achieve it can make the training effect better.

Seeing the visible progress, Kaxiu became more motivated. The top of the wooden stake trembled slightly when he punched it.

Lixia, who was standing by, nodded inaudibly. What she liked about Kaxiu was his calmness. Of course, the youth training camp has just begun, and it takes some time to really see through a person.

The sun slowly approached the horizon inch by inch.

The dusk sky was full of golden waves, and an orange-red fire line spread under the clouds. The sky in the distance was dazzling red, the mountains under the sunset became blurred, and the sunlight became strips of light that slowly spread from the mountains to the youth training camp.

"Disband, let's go eat."

Lixia closed her pocket watch with a click. The students around them dispersed instantly, and one by one they ran towards the cafeteria.

On the playground, there was only a thin figure hammering the wooden stakes. No matter how hard he tried, he was still a quarter short.

"Practice well and supervise yourself." Lisha glanced at the panting Kasu and did not stay like she did at noon.

"Yes." Kasu took a deep breath and replied.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The originally lively playground was only echoed with the sound of hammering. Kasu was accompanied by the cool breeze at dusk, the green trees with swaying branches, and the progress bar in the corner of his eyes.

The red and yellow sky turned black, and the clouds were no longer surrounded by the sun, but a bright moon. The stars and the moon cast a white jade-colored brilliance.

Soft, peaceful, silent...

Kasu threw the last punch, and his heart was clear.

He seemed to understand the meaning of the word pure.

"Fighting action (beginner): 1.0%"

"End!"
