Chapter 144 Qi Xinyang's daily life. - Just learning a skill? Stop fighting!

In the previous chapter, we talked about how Coach Tuo Lierdi was teaching Qi Xinyang and the others how to practice footwork, body movements, and techniques in combat. These techniques refer to fists and palms.

Since the coach Tuolierdi was talking about footwork, body movements, and technique all at once, and he used gestures throughout the whole process, it was impossible for Xiaojiao and Youke to keep up.

Coach Tuolierdi kept saying "look at your feet" and then "look at your hands". Xiaojiao and Youke were confused, their eyes and ears were confused, and their brains were all confused.

Qi Xinyang, on the other hand, didn't take Coach Tuoli's words to heart at all. Although she didn't listen carefully to what Coach Tuoli said, she memorized all of his actions in her mind.

It wasn't long before Qi Xinyang began practicing with her coach, Tuo Lierdi. She copied Tuo Lierdi's movements, including footwork, body movements, and techniques, and performed them all with flying colors.

After playing around a few times, Qi Xinyang turned around and saw her two younger brothers standing there in a daze. She urged Xiaojiao and Youke, saying, "What are you doing standing there? Follow along and practice!"

Seeing that You Ke and Xiao Jiao hadn't moved, Coach Tuo Lierdi realized that his instructions weren't working for Qi Xinyang's two disciples. He explained, "These footwork and body movements aren't static. They can be varied depending on the situation. So, let's just do it this way. Just follow your instincts and start moving!"

After hearing this, Qi Xinyang thought to himself, "Based on my own feelings? That means the more actual combat you have, the better you'll get the hang of it. I see, let me understand..."

Although Qi Xinyang had a lot of actual combat experience in the dungeon, she had never experienced close combat with monsters. This made her realize that this was a good opportunity to make up for her own combat shortcomings, so she began to think more.

When You Ke saw that Qi Xinyang was learning faster, he asked Qi Xinyang for advice, saying, "Sister, what 'feeling' did you rely on to do that just now?" He really didn't understand what coach Tuo Lierdi meant by "relying on my own feeling", so he could only ask this.

Qi Xinyang thought for a moment, then didn't directly answer You Ke's question. Instead, she directed her two younger brothers. She said to them, "We have an idea! Come on! The three of us will form a circle!"

You Ke immediately did what Qi Xinyang said. Xiaojiao had no idea what to do but had to follow him.

Qi Xinyang said to her two younger brothers, "Start moving!" After that, she performed those fist and palm movements on the two younger brothers.

Although Qi Xinyang was making fist and palm movements, it looked like she was joking, and her fists and palms did not really hit the two younger brothers.

You Ke was confused and thought, "Why did my sister do it again..." Thinking of this, he had no choice but to imitate Qi Xinyang's actions and started moving his hands and feet, but he still didn't hit his two companions.

Xiaojiao seemed very embarrassed and had no idea how to use his hands and feet. He didn't understand how to "move" at all.

Just like that, Qi Xinyang and the other three started to "fight" with each other. It looked very chaotic, more like children playing around with each other.

Coach Tuolierdi had initially decided to let them find their rhythm on their own, so he didn't stop them from "randomly fighting." As he watched, he thought to himself, "Well, this isn't a bad idea. None of them look like they've ever learned martial arts before. It seems they're all complete novices in this area..."

Coach Tuolierdi's guess was correct. Qi Xinyang and the other two had never learned any martial arts. Qi Xinyang had only just learned a few of the Chief's boxing techniques yesterday, but that was just the basics. This was discussed in the previous chapter.

After some nonsense like this, coach Tuo Lierdi said to Qi Xinyang and the others, "Stop fighting!"

Qi Xinyang and the others didn't hear what coach Tuo Lierdi said and continued to fight.

Coach Tuolierdi could only raise his voice and yell again, "Stop! Stop fighting!"

Only after this sound did Qi Xinyang and the others stop what they were doing.

After Qi Xinyang stopped what he was doing, he thought to himself, "This is weird. Why did I suddenly feel like I was doing a hip-hop dance? Is there a scene like this in a TV show?"

It’s true, the back and forth between Qi Xinyang and the others just now really looked like they were doing some awkward street dance.

Xiaojiao first asked coach Tuolierdi, "Coach, what should we do next?"

Coach Tuo Lierdi told Qi Xinyang and the others, "From now on, I'll teach you one move at a time. If I teach you all at once, you won't be able to follow."

After hearing this, Qi Xinyang looked at his two younger brothers and thought to himself, "Alas, these two are holding us back..."

Coach Tuo Lierdi had overestimated Qi Xinyang and the others' comprehension abilities. Seeing how quickly they'd learned the basics, he'd assumed they'd be equally quick to learn the rest. But he'd forgotten that Qi Xinyang and the others were still children, and their comprehension skills couldn't match those of the adults he'd previously taught. So, after some reflection, he decided to stick with his previous approach, teaching them one movement at a time.

After coach Tuolierdi changed his teaching method, the subsequent teaching went more smoothly.

After coach Tuo Lierdi taught Qi Xinyang and the others, he watched them perform their movements. As he watched, he said to them, "That's right! You've not only mastered the basic footwork, but you've also mastered the body movements."

After Qi Xinyang and the others finished practicing once, Coach Tuo Lierdi thought to himself, "It seems it's not that they are too stupid, but the teaching method cannot be rushed."

After finishing practice, You Ke asked coach Tuo Lierdi, "Coach, what did you mean by 'going by the feeling' just now? I still don't quite understand."

Coach Tuolierdi told Youke, "Even in actual combat, the footwork and body movements you use won't be exactly the same as when you practice. Your movements need to be adjusted differently when facing different scenarios and enemies. These subtle changes require you to judge the degree of control based on your own feelings."

You Ke didn't quite understand what he was saying. He muttered, "Why does it feel like we're talking about cooking? Oh, is it the same as cooking?"

After hearing Youke's grumbling, Xiaojiao said to Youke, "If you don't know how to cook, you won't be able to find the feeling. Fortunately, we all know how to cook."

After listening to what the two younger brothers said, Qi Xinyang thought to herself, "What are you talking about? What does this have to do with cooking?" Thinking of this, she said to the two younger brothers, "I just want you to practice a few more times, and then you will understand."

After hearing this, Xiaojiao and Youke said in unison: "Actual combat? Where to practice?"

Qi Xinyang looked unhappy and said to Xiaojiao, "Xiaojiao, come and practice with me." As she said that, she rolled up her sleeves and was ready to take action.

Coach Tuo Lierdi stopped Qi Xinyang and said, "Don't rush into the actual combat. Learn everything you can first."

After hearing this, Qi Xinyang thought to herself, "That's right. There will be plenty of opportunities for 'actual combat' on the road in the future." Thinking that there is still a long way to go to practice with her two younger brothers, she didn't say anything more.

Coach Tuo Lierdi said to Qi Xinyang and the others, "From now on, you must not only pay attention to your footwork and body movements, but also make your hand movements flow smoothly. You can't be so soft and limp like before. You need to punch with power and momentum!"

After hearing this, Qi Xinyang and the other three said in unison: Okay!

Just like that, after Coach Tuo Lierdi emphasized the fist and palm movements, Qi Xinyang and the others practiced them again. Whenever Qi Xinyang and the others' movements were weak or not standard, Coach Tuo Lierdi would personally correct them.

Qi Xinyang asked coach Tuo Lierdi, "Isn't it possible to have that deceptive feeling, where you can hold back and pretend to fight, but you can also go all out and really fight?"

What Qi Xinyang was talking about was the real and fake fighting style in actual combat, but she didn't know the accurate expression of it.

Coach Tuo Lierdi was very happy after hearing this and told Qi Xinyang, "That's right! You understand it very well. If you can understand it this way, then the subsequent things will be easier to teach."

When Qi Xinyang heard there was more to come, he asked coach Tuo Lierdi, "What else will you teach us later?"

Coach Tuo Lierdi told Qi Xinyang, "After you finish practicing with the long stick, it's time to practice with the short stick."

Qi Xinyang didn't understand why he had to learn a "short stick" and couldn't help muttering, "Short stick?"

Coach Tuo Lierdi said to Qi Xinyang and the others, "It's called a short stick, but it's not actually that short. It's just a little shorter. But you should practice with the long stick first before learning the short stick. There's not much to teach you about the short stick, after all, you're supposed to learn how to use long weapons."

After a pause, Coach Tuolierdi said to Qi Xinyang alone, "You'd better learn to use a short stick. Your weapon happens to be slightly shorter than theirs."

Qi Xinyang looked at the unsharpened version of the "Double Moon Hooked Blade Bow" on the weapon rack, and all kinds of thoughts kept popping up in his mind.

Yu Ke looked worried and asked coach Tuolierdi, "So when are we going to start learning our chosen weapons? My sister knows how to use them, but we don't..."

Before coach Tuolierdi could say anything, Qi Xinyang told Youke directly, "Why are you in such a hurry? You'll learn it eventually. Learn the basics first. Sharpening your knife won't delay your time."

Xiaojiao quickly asked Qi Xinyang, "Who are you going to kill? Big Sister."

Qi Xinyang realized that he was wrong, so he told Xiaojiao, "We're not chopping people, we're chopping wood."

Little Foot muttered, "Oh. It's easier to understand if you say it's about chopping wood. It sounds weird to say it's about chopping people."

After a while, coach Tuo Lierdi said to Qi Xinyang and the others, "Alright! You've all rested enough. Grab your long sticks and try to see what the differences are when holding them."

Qi Xinyang thrust forward with the long stick, replacing her previous punch. Then, she swept the stick forward, replacing her previous palm strike.

After Qi Xinyang used a few moves, he thought to himself, "That's not right. The difference between long and short is too big."

Coach Tuolierdi was pleased to see Qi Xinyang pick up the game so quickly. He said to Qi Xinyang, "You've got good comprehension! That's how you practice! You just don't need to hit it that far every time."

After hearing this, Qi Xinyang said to himself, "Oh... I understand."

You Ke asked Qi Xinyang, "Sister, I don't understand."

Qi Xinyang glanced at You Ke and playfully spread his hands, not wanting to explain to You Ke at all.

Xiaojiao asked coach Tuolierdi, "Coach, I don't have to hold it so close to the edge, right?" As he said that, he directly held the long stick in his hand to the "head of the stick", which felt like he was holding a banana and poking it forward, and the long "tail of the stick" was dragging on the ground behind him, which made people feel particularly funny.

Coach Tuolierdi was speechless after seeing this. He told Xiaojiao, "Your weapon is too short. You need to hit it with some distance. It can't be as close as a fist or palm."

Qi Xinyang wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought to himself, "Good boy, this guy Xiaojiao and I are two opposite extremes..."

In this way, under the guidance of coach Tuo Lierdi, Qi Xinyang and his friends skillfully integrated footwork, body movements, and stick techniques together, which laid a good foundation for learning the use of other long-pole weapons.

Just like that, a morning exercise ended with Qi Xinyang and his friends sweating.

Later, Qi Xinyang and the other three went to have lunch, and after lunch they each took a nap.

I won't mention Xiaojiao and Youke's daily lives, one taking care of Benlei and the other taking care of Xiaoye. Qi Xinyang was still thinking about the things that Xiaohuatou mentioned last night, one of which was the "bird house."

After lunch, the sun had already risen to its highest point of the day.

Qi Xinyang had come alone in broad daylight to see the "Nine-curve Silver Pigeon." Seeing that it was lunchtime, she figured no one would be in the aviary, making it the perfect time for her to come and visit.

Qi Xinyang had just arrived at the edge of the warehouse when she saw a figure walking towards the bird house from afar. Coincidentally, the figure in front turned around and saw her.

Under the scorching sun, Qi Xinyang couldn't open her eyes completely and squinted. After shading herself with her hands, she took a closer look and finally saw that the person in the distance was Yingping Youzi.

Qi Xinyang immediately waved to Yingping Youzi and ran towards her. Yingping Youzi also waved to her.

Qi Xinyang came to the bird house to watch the birds. Yingping Youzi, who he happened to meet, was obviously also here at the bird house, but Qi Xinyang originally planned to come and see secretly when no one was around.

So, how will they talk next? Please see the next chapter.
