Double update!! Okay, the chapter title is too long and I couldnt fit in the two words "double update", so I had to put it inside the text instead, sigh~!
As time went on, the gap gradually became apparent.
After six laps, the boys breathing began to get a bit heavier. After eight laps, their footsteps became heavy. After ten laps, Han Xiong no longer had the mood to rush forward. After twelve laps, the boys were no longer crowded together, and the distance between them gradually increased. After sixteen laps, someone had already fallen behind. By the time they reached eighteen laps, the last boy was even a full lap behind the leading Xiao Jingchen.
The boys were panting, their legs heavy as if filled with lead, and a burning pain in their chests. But Xiao Jingchen was breathing steadily, with only a faint sheen of sweat on his forehead, shining brightly under the rising morning sun. It wasnt until then that the boys truly felt Xiao Jingchens strength.
The girl with a shaved head, although her legs were short, the speed of her alternating strides was not slow. Most importantly, she maintained a constant speed. This speed was easy for the boys to keep up with at first, but gradually became more and more exhausting. What seemed like just a slightly faster pace than walking soon became an unattainable goal in their eyes.
After twenty laps, even Han Xiong started to fall behind, and the entire team was divided into four echelons. The leader was Xiao Jingchen, closely followed by a somewhat unfamiliar boy who didnt seem to like talking much, although everyone played together every time, he didnt have much interaction with Xiao Jingchen. Behind the boy were Ling Fei and Han Xiong, Ling Feis glasses had been removed from the bridge of his nose, and Han Xiongs chubby figure was even producing a wave-like motion due to excessive shaking. Closely following the two was, surprisingly, Mu Tou, Mu Tou was considered one of the weakest in terms of physical ability in this team, but now, although his face was pale, he was much more hardworking than the last two boys who had fallen behind by one and a half laps.
After running twenty-five laps, Xiao Jingchen finally slowed down and stopped at the edge of the playground, waiting for the boys who had fallen behind to return to the starting point. The silent boy, Han Xiong, Ling Fei, and Mu Tou, one by one returned to Xiao Jingchens side, and as soon as they stopped, they immediately fell to the ground with a thud, not caring about the accumulated snow on the ground.
The white track was trampled into a wide road by them, Xiao Jingchen glanced at the four fallen boys, then his eyes fell on the track, the two lagging boys had one already disappeared, leaving only the last one still running alone, he was two and a half laps behind Xiao Jingchen.
The last young man was panting heavily, but still persisted at a pace slightly faster than strolling. His eyes were empty and seemed to be wandering, yet he didnt stop. Xiao Jingchens face finally looked a bit better, "Whats his name?"
"Hes called Zhan Beibei, nicknamed Baby. Hes usually more delicate than a wooden board, but I didnt expect him to have such guts." Ling Fei plopped down on the ground with a thud, panting heavily as he spoke. The wooden board glared at him with great indignation, but was too exhausted to say anything.
Xiao Jing dust nodded and turned his head towards the silent boy, "Whats your name?"
"Lock and Key."
Xiao Jingchen continued to nod, silently memorizing the names of the two young men. Luo Kes physical strength was apparently higher than that of the other young men, while Zhan Beibeis perseverance made Xiao Guang very fond of him. With proper training, these two should be able to achieve something remarkable.
Zhan Beibei persisted in finishing the twenty-fifth lap, stumbling back to Xiao Jingchens side, her knee joints weakening, and she directly knelt down, her upper body straightening up and pouncing onto the ground, fortunately there was accumulated snow underneath, otherwise she would have had a nosebleed.
Looking at Xuan Beibei lying motionless on the ground, Ling Feis face changed drastically, and he quickly helped Luo Keming to lift her up. Xuan Beibeis eyes were tightly closed, her face was pale, her lips were blue, showing typical symptoms of hypoxia. Han Xiong was so anxious that his eyes widened, and he slapped Xuan Beibeis cheek with his chubby palm, "Xuan Beibei! Xuan Beibei! Fainted? Shouldnt we rush to the hospital?!"
Xiao Jingchen pushed Han Xiong away with one hand, seemingly without using much force, but it sent the little fatty tumbling to the ground. Xiao Jingchen didnt even glance at him, his fist pressed against Zhan Beibeis chest, his wrist suddenly shaking violently. Unconscious Zhan Beibei suddenly trembled, a violent cough bursting from her throat, and she slowly came to. Her unfocused eyes revealed a vacant, bewildered expression, and after a moment of confusion, her dull gaze gradually regained its focus. She struggled to sit up, rubbing her sore chest, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What happened?"
Han Xiong stared blankly at him, unable to react for a moment. Luo Ke Ming stared straight at Xiao Jingchen, also keeping silent. Ling Fei was stunned and stared at Xiao Jingchen, it took him half a day to find his voice, "How did you do that?"
"Its obvious that she was taught by her uncle." Blinking her big, pure eyes, Xiaojie said so. Children have a strong ability to imitate, whoever teaches her anything related to martial arts, as long as it is related to martial arts, she will learn it immediately, but if you ask her to say something like "zi-chou-yin-mao" (a Chinese idiom), sorry, her response will always be just an innocent look and a confused "???".
As soon as he saw her expression, Ling Fei knew that he couldnt get a clear answer from her. After all, she was just a five-and-a-half-year-old child who might not even be able to do addition within ten accurately, let alone understand such profound things. He couldnt help but sigh inwardly, feeling that Little Light seemed to become more and more mysterious.
Due to Xiao Beis unexpected situation, Xiao Jingchen did not continue to enslave them, but instead demonstrated a set of the most basic and simplest fist techniques himself.
The martial arts of the Bodhi Temple have been passed down through generations, and their names have long been lost in the annals of history. For hundreds or even thousands of years, there were only men in the temple, so naturally, the martial arts were mainly focused on masculinity. A set of fist techniques was unleashed, with a fierce gust of wind that sent shivers down ones spine. Xiao Jingchen looked like a soft and weak little ball, but her innate talent for martial arts made her already show signs of power at a young age. Although it was very faint, it still managed to shock the five boys eyes wide open. When Xiao Jingchen finished her move, she faced five pairs of gleaming green wolf-like eyes staring back at her.
Xiao Jingchen seemed quite calm, "Starting tomorrow, after we finish running, Ill start teaching you this set of fist techniques."
Five little chicks pecking at rice like woodpeckers.
Looking at the five young men full of desire for knowledge and shining with excitement, Xiaojingchen suddenly felt a little relieved. She had finally found a replacement for her nephews who were about to leave the temple. She would definitely teach them with great care and diligence, absolutely not letting their master down, nor disappointing the senior monks of the Wuseng Hall.
Completely absorbed in the excitement of being a mentor, Xiaojing didnt notice that far away, on the balcony railing of a high-rise building, there was a silly dad watching his beloved daughter throw out a set of domineering and purely masculine punches. Bai Xijing looked very worried, wondering if she really was a soft and delicate girl?
As soon as he got home, Xiao Jingchen looked at Shang Bai Xi Jings slightly worried eyes and the "???" immediately appeared on his shiny forehead. Xiao Jingchen walked over to pull on his silly fathers sleeve, looking up at him, "Dad, whats wrong?"
"Its nothing." Bai Xijing hesitated for a moment, secretly calculating the time. It seemed he should put "lady education" on his agenda ahead of schedule.
No matter how tangled Dad is in designing the legendary "lady education", Xiaojingchen is quite happy when he acts as a pure man.
