In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
Niu Xiaosheng's life is very regular, with almost no changes. He goes to class during the day and practices hard alone in the space at night.
Although the process was very hard and he was too tired to move every time, he enjoyed the feeling of watching himself become stronger little by little.
The difference is that Fang Zhong, the teacher in charge of taking them as freshmen, has taken leave, so the teacher Zhang Lin has been leading them these days.
Zhang Lin was originally a martial artist who graduated from the Wushu Academy. After graduation, he chose to stay in the Wushu Academy as a teacher and assist Fang Zhong, so even if Fang Zhong was away, the new student's practice would not be delayed.
Niu Xiaosheng also discovered that not only their freshman teacher had taken leave, but even the tall female deacon Mo Xin was missing. This was definitely not a coincidence. He guessed that it was probably related to things outside the city.
The day before yesterday, he also tried to find an opportunity to inquire about Liu Sheng, but this guy had a sharp mind and was upright. He advised Niu Xiaosheng not to pry around, because if something really happened, his elder brother would protect him and so on.
"Teacher Zhang, how long do we have to do the horse riding? We have been doing it for more than a month. It's time to teach us something else!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
Niu Xiaosheng looked up and immediately recognized the speaker. He was Qin Fang, who was called one of the geniuses among the freshmen.
Qin Fang is the second son of the Qin family in the county. He entered school in February this year. He is eight years old and about 1.5 meters tall. He is considered tall among his peers. Not only is he tall, but he is also very strong. He is as strong as a young bull.
He is also one of the few students who can maintain the horse stance for three hours.
"That's a good question."
Zhang Lin had a smile on his face, and his handsome facial features gave people a strong affinity, "Not long after I entered the martial arts academy, I asked our instructor the same question. He told us that if we want to enter the next stage, it is very simple.
It only takes six hours of horse walking in one breath."
Having said this, he looked at Qin Fang and all the freshmen present, "Do any of you want to challenge it? As long as you pass, I will teach you the next step of the skill immediately."
Hearing this, most people lowered their heads. They couldn't even hold on for three hours now, let alone six hours.
But not everyone backed down. Qin Fang was the first to choose the challenge, the second was Niu Xiaosheng’s good brother Liu Sheng, and the third was a little girl named Lu Qing. She was somewhat introverted and not good at interacting with others.
She is always alone when dealing with people. She is the daughter of a teacher in the martial arts academy.
Niu Xiaosheng was also a little moved at this time. To be honest, he didn't know how long he could hold on.
"Is there anyone else who hasn't? It doesn't matter if you give it a try. At least you know where your limits are."
Zhang Lin looked around, and everyone he saw lowered their gazes.
Niu Xiaosong hesitated for a moment, then walked over and stood beside Liu Sheng.
"Huh? Not bad."
Zhang Lin glanced at Niu Xiaosheng appreciatively, and then looked at the others with encouraging eyes.
After seeing Niu Xiaosheng walking out, several more boys came out immediately, and a total of seven people chose to challenge.
"Okay, you can take a rest now. Others will continue to practice horse walking. I'll be back soon."
Zhang Lin said and walked quickly outside.
After Qin Fang saw Zhang Lin leaving, he rolled his eyes and challenged Liu Sheng, "Liu Sheng, let's see who can hold on longer."
"boring."
Liu Sheng turned around and gave the other party a slap on the back of the head.
The Qin family and the Liu family are both big families in Heishui County. They have known each other since they were children, and they are often used as examples for the younger generations by the elders of their respective families.
Qin Fang has always regarded Liu Sheng as an imaginary enemy. As long as the two of them are together, no matter what they encounter, he will compete with each other, which makes Liu Sheng extremely annoyed.
"Are you Liu Sheng's younger brother?"
Seeing Liu Sheng ignoring him, Qin Fang turned to look at Niu Xiaosheng aside.
Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng, who had his back to Qin Fang, immediately pricked up his ears and even felt a little nervous.
"Does this have anything to do with you?"
Niu Xiaosheng also gave Qin Fang a slap on the back of his head.
Although Liu Sheng had always taken it upon himself to recognize him as his younger brother, he had really taken good care of him these days, and nothing could be done to embarrass him at this time.
"Good boy, you dare to look down on me even with your pretty face."
Qin Fang, a naughty child who was spoiled by his family, became angry on the spot. He clenched his fist and hit Niu Xiaosheng on the back.
Although he is young, he is very strong. A child from a wealthy family like him has been exercising since he was a child. His physical fitness is far superior to that of his peers. With one punch, he can break a small tree without any problem.
"you dare!"
Liu Sheng knew Qin Fang's strength very well. He was angry in his heart and appeared behind Niu Xiaosheng. He came first and punched Qin Fang's fist in the same way.
"Snapped!"
There was a crisp sound in the air, Qin Fang's expression changed, he took two steps back suddenly, and at the same time kept shaking his hands, it seemed that he was in serious pain.
On the other hand, when Liu Sheng was punching Qin Fang, his body did not move at all, his hands were naturally clasped behind his back, standing tall and low.
However, when Niu Xiaosheng turned around, he could clearly see that Liu Sheng's right hand behind his back was trembling slightly, and he had obviously suffered a lot.
"Humph, Niu, I remember you."
Qin Fang watched as Niu Xiaosheng said a harsh word, turned around, walked aside and sat down angrily.
"Don't worry about him. As long as I'm here, he can't do anything to you."
Liu Sheng turned his back to Niu Xiaosheng and comforted him.
In this regard, Niu Xiaosheng could only recite in his heart that it was bad luck. This was a completely unreasonable disaster.
Not long after, Zhang Lin returned here with a bunch of sandalwood, "These are special sandalwood. It takes half an hour to burn one stick."
As he spoke, he stuck a piece of sandalwood on the ground and lit it with a fire stick. "Okay, you all, come over here and let's get started!"
After hearing the words, the seven people immediately walked over and stood apart. Then they bent their knees and squatted half-squat. Their thighs were slightly flat, their toes were turned in, their five toes were gripping the ground, and their center of gravity was placed in the middle of their legs and they began to stride.
As the sandalwood incense burnt out, two hours passed. When the fifth sandalwood incense was half burned, someone finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
"Well, not bad."
Zhang Lin walked over, lifted him aside, took out the medicinal oil and applied it to him.
Before the medicinal oil was applied, two more people fell down one after another. Zhang Lin immediately asked someone to carry them over.
When the seventh stick of sandalwood was lit, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on Niu Xiaosheng.
No one is surprised that the other three can persevere. After all, they have been the best among all the freshmen since they joined the martial arts academy. On the other hand, everyone still remembers that Niu Xiaosheng was at the bottom half a month ago.
"Don't be surprised, everyone. In fact, Niu Xiaosheng has made great progress in the past half month. It's just that he has been hiding his weakness, so you don't know it."
Zhang Lin said.
As Fang Zhong's teacher, he would observe every time the new student trained. In fact, on the second day after Niu Xiaosheng entered the martial arts academy, he discovered something special about this new student.
