Chapter 539: Chapter 199: Daily Life and Martial Arts Assessment_3

”Ah? Ah... right, I’m going to do martial arts training,” Zhang Beixing responded blankly.

”Shall we go together? I’ve been practicing the Heaven and Earth Natural Technique you taught me, and I feel like there are some parts I didn’t quite get. Can you give me some pointers?” Lin Siqi asked.

Her Heaven and Earth Natural Technique was something Zhang Beixing had taught her last year before he took on Oizaki’s Eight Challenges. It wasn’t just her—nearly all of Zhang Beixing’s close friends had been taught the Heaven and Earth Natural Technique by him, as it was very profound. Even if one didn’t practice it deeply, it still had the effect of strengthening the body. Lin Siqi would practice a couple of sets whenever she had free time.

Before, she had thought this was enough and had never asked Zhang Beixing for detailed guidance on the Heaven and Earth Natural Technique. But then, just before the New Year, after enduring three days of intense pressure, Lin Siqi realized that she... seemed to be struggling.

The usual training wasn’t enough for her anymore. She needed to practice this Heaven and Earth Natural Technique more deeply, to make herself stronger.

Otherwise... her fertile field would surely be plowed barren by Zhang Beixing, that tireless bull!

Zhang Beixing was unaware of Lin Siqi’s thoughts. Upon hearing her request, he simply nodded. ”Sure, no problem. I’ll be teaching Chen Rourou martial arts training later, so you two can practice together. By the way, Sister Qi, are you planning to become a Martial Artist too?”

”No, I just want to use it to get my body into better shape, like a fitness routine. I’m not planning to train to become incredibly strong; just a few pointers from you will be enough,” Lin Siqi replied, shaking her head. Her primary interests still lay in business and making money. She had no great passion for martial arts training; for her, Zhang Beixing’s Heaven and Earth Natural Technique was essentially a fitness method, no different from yoga.

”Is that so? Alright!” Zhang Beixing understood and saw no issue with it.

He then packed a few things, gave Chen Rourou a call, and led Lin Siqi to a small grove for their martial arts training.

It was only after the training began that Lin Siqi truly realized how correct her decision not to become a Martial Artist had been. Because once Zhang Beixing got serious about training, he was incredibly strict and showed absolutely no mercy!

In just a single day, Lin Siqi watched Chen Rourou transform from her initial vibrant, energetic self to being dejected and listless, and finally, to a state of utter despair.

Witnessing this drastic change, Lin Siqi felt a pang of sympathy, wondering what deep-seated grudge could exist between them.

Why was Zhang Beixing treating Chen Rourou so inhumanely, tormenting her to an inch of her life?

She also silently made a firm resolution.

That was, treating martial arts as a form of fitness was fine. But actual martial arts training? Definitely not! Absolutely not!

Faced with Lin Siqi’s attitude, Zhang Beixing simply shrugged, feigning innocence.

It wasn’t that he was being inhumane. Martial arts training was simply like that. If you didn’t push yourself to the absolute limit, how could you possibly grow and become stronger? That’s just the way it is!

And besides, never mind that Chen Rourou looked miserable while training now. The next day, didn’t she still show up, full of anticipation for the new day’s workout?

Chen Rourou: ”.....”

Anticipate jack squat! You think I want to come here? I have no choice, no choice at all! If I didn’t come, you’d actually dare to barge into the girls’ dorm and drag me out!

...

And so, amidst Zhang Beixing and Chen Rourou’s martial arts training, time flew by.

「February 25th, Friday.」

Another two days, and the first week of school would be over.

Liu Yi, at this time, finally hurried back from out of town.

A significant reason for his delayed return to Shi University was Zhang Beixing. Or, more accurately, the assessment that Zhang Beixing had introduced.

The New Great Xia Martial Artist Regulations, introduced by Zhang Beixing last year, clearly stipulated that all Level C Martial Artists and above in Great Xia were required to undergo an annual assessment. Zhang Beixing hadn’t fixed the specific time for it, leaving the decision to the Great Xia Martial Arts Association. After much deliberation, they decided there was no time like the present and scheduled the first assessment for right after the Lantern Festival.

Although Liu Yi was Zhang Beixing’s master, he was also a member of the Great Xia Martial Arts Association. Therefore, according to the regulations, he too was required to participate in this assessment. He had only just finished with it.

”How did it go, Teacher Liu? How was the assessment?” In Liu Yi’s office, Zhang Beixing sat on the sofa, looking at Liu Yi with a teasing expression.

Previously, when Liu Yi, as a school teacher, tested him, Zhang Beixing couldn’t do much about it. Now the tables had turned. He, Zhang Beixing, had become the president of the Great Xia Martial Arts Association, and it was his turn to test them.

”Sigh, don’t even mention it!” Thinking of his experiences over those few days, Liu Yi couldn’t help but wave his hand and say, ”The martial arts assessment organized by the Great Xia Martial Arts Association this time was fraught with problems!”

Hearing this, Zhang Beixing frowned. ”Fraught with problems? What happened? Could it be that someone disrespected me and stirred up trouble during the assessment?”
