Currently, Xiao Tian’s underlings were running around the front yard of Blue Ice Lotus gang headquarters, including Chun Hua.
Because Chun Hua desired to become a much stronger martial artist, she was taking part in training. At this moment, Xiao Tian and Mu Huo were only staring at him.
Of course, Xiao Tian would also practice martial arts later because since he went to Beijing, he hadn’t practiced martial arts.
Previously, Mu Huo told Xiao Tian’s underlings to run around the front yard for thirty laps after they finished warming up.
Even though they were members of a gang, some of them started to breathe heavily before they even finished running around the front yard for thirty laps.
This made Mu Huo shake his head. With this, he knew that he had to increase their stamina first in the future because stamina was very important to martial artists.
When Xiao Tian saw Mu Huo shaking his head, he knew what Mu Huo had in mind. “I want to practice martial arts too. I will leave them to you.”
“Understood.” Mu Huo replied instantly.
After Xiao Tian finished warming up, he took a wooden sword and swung it vertically. He kept swinging the wooden sword vertically for more than ten minutes.
At this moment, Mu Huo stole glances at Xiao Tian several times. Not only Mu Huo, but Xiao Tian’s underlings, who were still running around the front yard, also stole glances at him.
They wanted to know why Xiao Tian kept doing the same move. It was as if Xiao Tian was not practicing martial arts.
Seconds turned into minutes and without realizing it, it had been fifty minutes since Xiao Tian started practicing martial arts.
At this moment, it was a break time for Xiao Tian’s underlings. That was why they were looking at Xiao Tian.
“Leader is still doing the same thing!”
“Yes. He is only swinging his wooden swords vertically since earlier.”
“Why did he do that?”
“I don’t know.”
“But you know how skilled he is in martial arts, right?”
“I know.”
One by one, Xiao Tian’s underlings voiced out their curiosity. They wanted to know why Xiao Tian only swung his wooden sword vertically.
He even didn’t do another move such as thrusting as if he knew nothing but swinging his wooden sword vertically. For this reason, several of his subordinates walked towards him.
“Leader, why are you only swinging your wooden sword vertically?” one of Xiao Tian’s underlings asked curiously.
“Even though this move is only a basic move, but it’s important for a sword martial artist like me.” Xiao Tian answered while still swinging his wooden swords vertically.
Ten of Xiao Tian’s underlings, who were also using swords as weapons, spoke in unison, “Leader, can we join you?”
“Sure.” Xiao Tian answered instantly. “Just do what I’m doing.”
Without waiting for another second, they swung their swords vertically.
“All right. Break time is over.” Mu Huo spoke abruptly. “Let’s continue again.”
“We want to practice with the leader.” Xiao Tian’s underlings, who were swinging their swords, spoke in unison.
“All right.” Mu Huo allowed them to practice with Xiao Tian because as long as they practiced martial arts, he didn’t mind it.
After twenty minutes of swinging their swords vertically, Xiao Tian’s underlings felt their arms starting to hurt. Now they began to understand that what Xiao Tian had been doing was not easy.
Even though it was only a basic move, but the longer they did that, they found it more difficult to swing the sword vertically.
They felt as if their swords were getting heavier every second, making it difficult for them to swing their swords.
Of course, they didn’t give up and still tried their best to keep swinging their swords vertically because they wanted to become strong martial artists.
When Xiao Tian noticed it, he smiled. Previously, he thought his underlings would stop after swinging their swords for fifteen minutes, but he was wrong. “Let’s swing our swords for another one hundred times after that, we will take a break for five minutes.”
“Understood.” His underlings were pleased after hearing his words.
Even though he said that they would only rest for five minutes later, but it was enough for them.
“Let’s count together.” Xiao Tian spoke, “1..2…3…”
“4…5…6…7…” his underlings began to count with him.
The reason why Xiao Tian asked them to count with him was that it could help them forget that they were tired.
“99..100.” Xiao Tian stopped swinging his wooden sword. “All right. Let’s take a break for five minutes.”
“Huft…” Xiao Tian’s underlings immediately sat on the ground.
At that moment, they could no longer feel their arms. Due to how sore their arms were, they even felt pain when they moved their hands.
They suddenly remembered that Xiao Tian had swung his wooden sword much longer than them. Because they wanted to know whether he was fine or not, they instantly turned their heads toward him.
When Xiao Tian noticed his underlings staring at him, he immediately spoke, “What is it?”
“Leader, do your arms not sore?” because they could not hold back the curiosity they had, they asked in unison.
“Of course, my arms are sore.” Earlier, Xiao Tian swung his wooden swords for more than an hour, so of course, his arms felt sore too.
However, it was nothing compared to the training he had with his masters in his previous life
“But you behave normally as if you are fine.” One of his underlings said.
“Because I’m used to this.” Xiao Tian gave an honest answer.
“Leader, will you bring your martial arts master here in the future?” one of his underlings asked, “We want to be strong martial artists like you so we hope your master can teach us too someday.”
At this moment, Xiao Tian could only sigh. Even though his martial arts masters often forced him to practice martial arts until he could no longer stand up, but he also wished they could teach him martial arts again.
There were still many things he needed to learn from them. He had never even won a fight against them. In the past, one of his dreams was to defeat his martial arts masters. “It’s already five minutes. Let’s practice martial arts again.”
