Famous thought the name of the kicking technique sounded familiar. Since it had nothing better to do, it wanted to practice the technique with Old Time Tea.

In the following days, they lived a very fulfilling life. While Old Time Tea was practicing, Famous, basking in the sun on the rooftop, restated the experience that Old Time Tea would gain one hundred years later. While Famous practiced the leg technique, Old Time Tea instructed it from nearby. Whenever difficulties occurred, they discussed it with each other.

Ever since Famous carried Old Time Tea down the mountain, Old Time Tea had been aware of Famous' strength of and came up with the idea of teaching it the Foshan Invisible Kick. However, Old Time Tea didn't know Famous that well back then, so it took a long time to make an official decision.

Martial arts focused on leg training and how to exert strength from the legs. Not because kicking was better than punching. On the contrary, some martial arts masters stressed that one should not readily kick because it would give their opponent a big opportunity to attack them.

Kicking, especially the high kick and side kick, often came with risks, and was a one-time deal. If the kicking did not cause enough damage to your enemy, it was too easy for your enemy to take advantage of your unstable equilibrium to counterattack.

Human beings had two legs, while dogs had four legs, so it's easier for dogs to keep their balance. Besides, Famous had impressive leg strength, so Old Time Tea was very optimistic about it mastering the leg technique.

Famous was a beginner in learning martial arts, but because the leg technique contained only three movements, it was okay for Famous to practice it intensively. Famous improved rapidly, and within a few days, it was able to fight Old Time Tea for a little bit. Of course, it lost to Old Time Tea quickly because the kicking was the only technique it had mastered.

Martial arts was never learned from routines or practices, but from actual combat. Since Old Time Tea and Famous had begun to fight each other, they both made progress faster. Not only had they gained more experience from their own practices, but they also had a deeper understanding of each other's level of Kung Fu.

Everyday, after sunrise and before sunset, Old Time Tea and Famous practiced martial arts in the open area. On windy or rainy days, they would stay in the temple to have evaluations so that they gained feedback.

Famous could feel its strength improving, but had no idea how far up its level had gone.

...

On this day, the weather was good, and it was probably the warmest day before winter arrived. Famous was lying on the rooftop and Old Time Tea was practicing in the open space. Having told Old Time Tea all the insights of Kung Fu it had previously heard, Famous was looking around bored.

”Old Time Tea! Someone is coming to the mountain!” it shouted downwards.

Old Time Tea continued practicing moves and casually asked, ”Is it the person who delivers the food?”

Everyday at noon, the Wu family would send a person to the mountain to deliver food. If the weather wasn't good that day, the person arrived later, but the routine had never changed.

”No, usually it's one person who comes to deliver food. Today, it's a group of people.” Famous nervously watched the visitors from a distance. It seemed that they were heading to the temple.

As the saying goes, ”never mistake a clear view for a short distance.” There were many obstacles on the rugged mountain paths, so it would take them a long time before they could make it to the temple.
