Chapter 112: Knowing contentment is eternal joy!

  Wu Xiaotian and Liu Ting sat on the sofa mountain, looking at Xia Ming opposite them with a serious face. After learning of Wu Xiaotian's intentions, Xia Ming thought for a moment before saying: "Leader, I'm willing to teach my teammates martial arts, as long as they can endure the hardships of training. After all, no martial art is easy to master, and it's not something that can be learned in one or two days."

  "This I know, you're willing to teach them and that's it. If they can't even bear hardships in the end of the world, then it's better for them to die early and not waste food." Upon hearing Xia Ming agree to teach martial arts, Wu Xiao Tian was also overjoyed. Being able to give them a bit more strength meant giving them a bit more capital to survive. If they weren't even willing to endure this bit of hardship, this bit of exhaustion, then Wu Xiao Tian didn't mind making them suffer a bit more.

  "Master Xia, what kind of martial arts do you know? Can't you reveal a little bit? I'm really curious!"

  "No need to be polite, leader can just call me by my name. As for martial arts, I only know two types of fist techniques, which are Xingyiquan and Taijiquan."

  "Master Xia doesn't need to be humble, martial arts value precision over quantity. Just one style of Tai Chi can take a lifetime to master, let alone the three major internal styles you're familiar with." Although Wu Xiao Tian admired Xia Ming's skills, he himself wasn't very interested in fist techniques. He knew he didn't have any natural talent for it, and when he tried learning Tai Chi before, although his movements looked similar, he couldn't grasp the essence of it. However, knife techniques were different - he seemed to have a natural affinity for them, and just one book on "Basic Knife Techniques" allowed him to understand three flavors of it.

  Wu Xiaotian knew that among the forms of Xingyiquan, many weapons could be used in conjunction with it, but mainly knives, spears, swords and sticks. So Wu Xiaotian asked Xia Ming: "Does Master Xia know knife techniques?"

  "This won't do, although Master had me practice weapons for a few years, I practiced swordsmanship not knife skills!" Xiaoming's response made Wu Xiaotian slightly disappointed, but then he thought of something and hastily asked: "Master Xia, what kind of swordsmanship do you know?"

  "Tai Chi Sword."

  "Oh, will Xia Dashi know how to use dual swords?"

  Wu Xiaotian asked this question for Duan Yue and Liu Ting. Duan Yue used a sword, although he could release sword energy, but he didn't know any sword techniques, just randomly swinging it around. If he could learn a set of sword techniques, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. As for Liu Ting, she also used dual swords, her method was very simple, teleporting and then releasing the sword, then teleporting again. Although she had two divine skills, teleportation and invisibility, these two divine skills consumed a lot of energy, making her unable to sustain long battles. But if she could also learn a set of sword techniques, she would be able to save a lot of energy and wouldn't get exhausted after every battle.

  "I may not know how to use this pair of swords, but I know how to practice."

  "Alright, that's good." Wu Xiaotian was now very happy. This Xia Ming may not know any knife skills, but as long as he knew sword skills, it was enough. As long as Liu Ting and Duan Yue could learn martial arts and become stronger, he would be satisfied. He stood up straight and bowed to Xia Ming, saying: "Please, Master Xia, teach Liu Ting the double-sword sword technique, teach Duan Yue Taiji Sword, and instruct others in learning fist techniques."

  This summer, Ming was startled by Wu Xiaotian's actions, because Wu Xiaotian is not only his leader but also the benefactor who saved their family. How could he let Wu Xiaotian bow to him? Even if Wu Xiaotian asked him to go fight zombies now, he wouldn't frown at all. Moreover, Wu Xiaotian just asked him to teach martial arts, which was originally his dream of spreading and glorifying the art.

  "The leader died for me, I should have done this from the start."

  Wu Xiaotian heard this and sat up straight, laughing: "In the past when watching TV or movies, wasn't the door scene very important?"

  Xia Ming let out a sigh of relief when Wu Xiao Tian stood up, but after hearing his question, he helplessly said: "The older generation used to attach great importance to these things, but now they don't care much about them. As long as someone is sincere in wanting to learn, we will sincerely teach them. If we still hold on to the idea of guarding the gate, won't the cultural heritage that has been passed down for thousands of years be lost?"

  "Anyway, I still want to thank you."

  Wu Xia thanked Xia Ming sincerely, knowing that survival in the post-apocalyptic world would become increasingly difficult to deal with, and battles would become more and more arduous. The martial arts they learned now might save their lives in the future, and could rescue them at critical moments.

  Liu Ting also knew Wu Xiaotian's sincerity and stood up to say to Xia Ming: "Master Xia, just accept his gratitude."

  Feeling the sincerity of Wu Xiao Tian's thanks, Xia Ming straightened his expression and guaranteed to Wu Xiao Tian: "Leader, rest assured that I will teach everyone martial arts without reservation."

  "If anyone dares to be careless or not serious during learning or practice, don't be polite, just get rid of them. If they're not convinced, let them come find me." After saying this to Xiaoming, he turned his head and said to Liu Ting: "Ting, you must also study hard, got it?"

  "Don't worry, I know."

  After hearing Liu Ting's words, Wu Xiaotian thanked Xia Ming again and said: "Master Xia, if there is no problem, can we start teaching them martial arts tomorrow?"

  "Yes, sir! Tomorrow morning I will start teaching them martial arts!"

  Xia Ming also didn't say anything and agreed to Wu Xiaotian's request in one breath.

  "Well, we won't disturb you then, let's take our leave first."

  "Walk slowly."

  After seeing Wu Xiaotian and the others off, Xia Ming hobbled into the bedroom, took out paper and pen from his backpack, and began to write hastily on those papers.

  After leaving the house, Wu Xiaotian felt both happy and disappointed. Happy that Liu Ting and Duan Yue were able to display their true strength, but disappointed that Xia Ming wouldn't be using his knife skills. It seemed he could only use the basic knife techniques of the Tang Dynasty sword. Taking a deep breath, Wu Xiaotian pushed aside his disappointment and thought, even if Xia Ming only knew basic knife skills, he could still protect the people he loved. Holding Liu Ting's small hand, they began to stroll around the hotel.

  Wu Xiaotian was unaware of the fact that his current conscious space was undergoing a drastic change. In the center of this conscious space, above the Lei Chi, a purple dragon floated in mid-air, its eyes tightly closed. When it opened its eyes, a flash of bloody light appeared and disappeared instantly, leaving no trace behind. As the conscious space filled with lightning and electricity opened its eyes, blood-colored lightning flashed across the sky, opening up a region that was instantly filled with blood-colored lightning. These blood-colored lightning bolts continued to devour each other until they formed a dragon shape.

  Lei Long Zi Ling didn't care about the blood-red area that appeared between the Five Elements Thunder and Yin-Yang Thunder, but instead muttered to himself: "Wow, so much knowledge! No wonder it's an old monster that has lived for thousands of years. This time, Little Tian Tian will have a lot to learn."
