Blue Star: At 13:50 on July 2, 2081, the most prosperous city in Xia Kingdom, Binhai City, was covered with dark clouds, thunder was booming, and a heavy rain was about to come.
"Thunderstorms in the summer are here to stay." In a room on the top floor of the Star Fighting Arena, a young man was looking at the dark clouds and lightning outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Raindrops began to patter on the window glass.
The young man walked to the center of the room, put his hands on the ground, and performed a handstand very slowly and steadily. First he stood with his hands straight, and then he put one hand away and turned into a one-handed handstand with his right hand.
"Breathe~breathe~"
The sound of breathing sounded in his ears, and Xu Jingming felt the core muscles of his body tighten, and also felt the stimulation of his right arm by the weight of his body.
The arms were very comfortable in the first three minutes, and the muscles of the arms were deeply stimulated. However, in the fourth minute, the muscles of the palms became a little painful and painful. In the fifth minute, it was even more painful. But Xu Jingming had long been used to it and persisted for five minutes.
, naturally switched to a one-handed handstand with the left hand.
"Dad's waist, I don't know if it's feeling better today." While standing on one hand, Xu Jingming's thoughts were wandering. He thought of his father. His father is sixty years old and has an old problem with waist injuries. Yesterday, he heard his mother's phone call.
Li said that his father's back injury occurred again when he was lifting heavy objects...
"When I finish this busy period, I will go back to my hometown." Xu Jingming thought.
One-hand handstand is not a training method taught by the national team, but was taught by my father when I was a child.
Xu Jingming was in poor health when he was a child. His father taught him martial arts to strengthen his body, including "one-arm handstand". Because of the good results of long-term practice, it became one of the five major pile exercises he practiced every day. He practiced Sanjiu in winter.
, Xia Lian Sanfu, has been practicing for twenty years. Even if he is sick or injured, he will persist. There is no special reason why he will not stop. As the saying goes, "Practice boxing without practicing Kung Fu, and you will be in vain". This so-called Kung Fu is daily life.
Basic skills.
If there is a break of three to five days, the muscles, muscles and other aspects will decline.
After finishing practicing the one-arm handstand, Xu Jingming walked to his desk and sat down, drank some water and looked at the heavy rain outside the window.
"As soon as the humidity gets heavy, my leg starts to hurt." Xu Jingming looked at his right leg, stretched out his hand and rubbed it gently, "I have never stopped doing rehabilitative exercises every day, but my right leg...can't get better.
.”
"If my right leg is not injured, I should be expected to be ranked No. 1 in the world." Xu Jingming said silently.
Injuries are what every martial arts master fears most in their career. A "broken leg" injury is a nightmare for Xu Jingming.
"Didi..." Suddenly there was a sound.
Xu Jingming raised his head and said, "Xiaobai, answer the video call."
There was light condensing in front of Xu Jingming, converging into a two-meter-high picture. In the picture, a burly fat man was sitting in the car, smiling and shouting: "Old Xu, we have already set off from the hotel. It is estimated that we will be there in about 20 minutes."
We can arrive at your Starry Sky Fighting Gym. Haha, we haven’t seen each other for more than a year, so we need to have a good drink tonight.”
"Don't worry, Da Xiong, I have already booked a barbecue restaurant." Xu Jingming saw his childhood friend and asked with a smile, "It's raining hard, so be careful on the road."
"Don't worry, don't worry." The burly fat man continued, "The boys in the provincial training team all admire you and want to see your marksmanship. Later you have to give them some guidance and let them understand how to compete with the world's top masters.
difference."
"Nowadays, young people are becoming more and more powerful from generation to generation. It will be good if I don't capsize." Xu Jingming said with a smile.
"How can the boat capsize? I hope you can capsize. If you capsize, it represents another genius in our provincial team." The big fat man laughed and said, "Okay, no more chatting, we will see you later."
"See you later." Xu Jingming stretched out his hand and the scene in mid-air disappeared.
Training for the Jiangnan Provincial Training Team lasts for ten days and charges 50,000 blue star coins. In fact, this amount of money is not even enough for the venue fee. But for the fighting gym, being able to train the provincial training team is also an advertising sign.
It can also attract more fighting fans to come to the fighting gym to become a member.
"Professional players have to make money after they retire." Xu Jingming got up and went to take a shower and change clothes.
Professional fighting players may sound glamorous, but in fact they only earn some "appearance fees" at their peak. Those who earn more than 100 million in their careers are pitifully few in the world, and most professional players only earn a living.
As for making money after retirement, it will be even harder. Although Xu Jingming is also a world-class martial arts master, in the World Martial Arts Competition, he is only among the top eight. The income in the fighting world is in the shape of a pyramid, and there are very few at the top! Ranking
The first place income is exaggeratedly high, the second place, third place, fourth place...will plummet.

Xu Jingming was waiting at the entrance of the Star Fighting Gym, accompanied by several staff members. From a distance, he saw an electric bus approaching in the rain.
When the electric bus stopped, the door opened, and more than ten people from the Jiangnan Provincial Training Team got off the bus one after another.
"Big Bear." Xu Jingming glanced at the burly fat man who got out of the car first. That was his good brother Liu Chongyuan.
"Old Xu." Liu Chongyuan came over and hugged Xu Jingming excitedly. He slapped Xu Jingming on the back with a big bang bang bang. Xu Jingming had a sad face and could only treat it as a massage.
Liu Chongyuan, 2.03 meters tall and weighing over 180 kilograms, looks like an upright bear. He was also a professional martial arts master with a shield in one hand and an ax in the other. When he was ranked the highest in the World Martial Arts Federation, he reached 39th place.
, so I can secure my position in the Provincial Sports Bureau.
"This is Coach Xu." Liu Chongyuan grinned and said, "The Coach Xu that you have been dreaming about!"
"Xu Jingming!"
"Gun Demon Xu Jingming!"
"I saw a real person!" The members of the provincial team were all a little excited. As people in the industry, they naturally admired this senior.
Xu Jingming looked at these team members as if he saw himself back then.
Young and full of vitality!
It's not like me, who competed in martial arts competitions and had to retire with injuries.
Xu Jingming smiled: "Ah Chen, take them to choose weapons."
"Yes, Brother Xu." The young staff member responded.
"Daxiong, let's go to the third floor to wait for them first." Xu Jingming and Liu Chongyuan, good brothers, happily went to the third floor first.
…
The weapons room of the Starry Sky Fighting Gym covers an area of 500 square meters. There are an astonishing number of knives, guns, swords, sticks, shields, axes, hammers, flails and other cold weapons. These are all martial arts competition equipment, such as swords.
, the surface is also wrapped with a layer of cushioning material, which greatly improves the safety level. Like long guns, the barrels of these competition guns have data: length, head diameter, weight. There are hundreds of long guns, lined up against the wall.
put.
"As expected of the Starry Sky Fighting Gym, a top-notch fighting gym in Binhai City, with enough weapons." The eleven members of the provincial training team all use long guns, so they participated in Xu Jingming's training.
When it comes to marksmanship alone, among all professional martial arts masters in history, Xu Jingming is recognized as one of the top ten.
The statistics of the spears in the competition were clear, and the eleven team members quickly selected their commonly used weapons.
"This is the first time I see Xu Jingming in real life. He looks very ordinary, not as intimidating as in the video." A tall man tried the spear and said at the same time.
"I feel a lot thinner than in the video." Another young boy said.
"He has lost weight." A strong man nodded. "Before he retired, I watched him compete several times live. According to the information released by the Martial Arts Alliance, he is 1.78 meters tall and weighs 93 kilograms. Now
I have lost a lot of weight, I estimate that I am at most 85 kilograms."
These provincial team members were discussing.
They all know that a height of 1.78 meters and a weight of more than 80 kilograms may seem a little fat to ordinary people. But to a professional martial arts master, with heavy bones and a high muscle ratio, he looks a little thin.
"With weight loss, my strength must have also decreased."
"I don't know how much strength I still have."
"Some professional players give up training after retirement. Their bodies are deformed and their strength is much worse."
The team members were discussing.
"I also want to see how big the gap is between me and the World Martial Arts Competition players. Who would have thought that he has lost a lot of weight, and I don't know how much strength he has left." The strong man was a little unwilling. He was also selected for the national training team last year.
Yes, the goal is also the World Martial Arts Competition, the highest competition in the fighting world. I originally had expectations for Xu Jingming, who has entered the World Martial Arts Competition twice, but now he is a little disappointed.
Now that he has lost weight, how much strength does Xu Jingming still have? Does he still have the domineering strength of the 'Gun Demon' back then?
"Even if our strength has declined, our experience is still there." The tall man beside him said with a smile, "Guiding us is still enough."
"Maybe they won't even be able to fight with us." The young boy muttered. They had seen many older generation coaches giving guidance, but very few of them could get off the field and fight with them.

On the third floor of the Star Fighting Hall, there is a martial arts arena that meets the specifications of international martial arts competitions. The arena is 20 meters long and 20 meters wide, and is surrounded by a six-meter-high barbed wire fence.
The members of the provincial training team walked into the third floor and saw Coach Liu and Xu Jingming standing there.
"Line up." Xu Jingming said very familiarly. He was also a member of the Jiangnan Provincial Team back then and was later selected as the main player of the national team.
Each of these eleven team members held a spear and lined up in an orderly manner.
Perhaps Xu Jingming's strength has been greatly reduced after his retirement, but his past achievements still make these players admire him and they are naturally very obedient.
"From today on, I will be your coach. There will be a total of ten days of training. Except that today's training time is in the afternoon, starting tomorrow it will be from nine to eleven in the morning." Xu Jingming glanced at them, "I don't want anything to happen.
People arrive late and leave early.”
"Yes." All eleven team members responded in unison.
"Okay, this is our first meeting. Let's go out and try your hand first, let me see your strength." Xu Jingming said, "I can teach you in accordance with your aptitude."
"Let's try our hand next time?" The team members looked at each other, surprised and happy.
"Actual combat in the arena?"
"Does Xu Jingming have the guts to actually fight?" These team members couldn't hide their joy. Since Xu Jingming dares to do this, it means that after retirement, he still maintains most of his peak strength.
