Chapter 341: Learn and Train

“Those first two parts, let me see them…” Wu Na said coquettishly.

Ye Cang thought for a bit, then calmly nodded, “Don’t wanna…”

Wu Na saw him nod and felt relieved, but after hearing his two words she immediately grabbed him, “Yes or no!”

“Hah, I really can’t say no to you. Actually, there is no first two parts, there is only part three…” Ye Cang shrugged.

“Liar, you’re lying.” Wu Na accused.

“There is only a part 3, part 1 and 2 are gone…” Ye Cang smiled bitterly.

“Really…” Wu Na released him and looked at him doubtfully.

“I’m really not lying to you…” Ye Cang sighed.

Wu Na, somewhat resentful, took the ribs back and ate it herself.

“……” Ye Cang watched as the ribs in his bowl left him just like that.

“Team Leader, the division’s next battle is the day after tomorrow. What should we do during this time?” FrozenCloud asked.

“Let’s rest.” Ye Cang said, having no intention to do any preparation.

That night, half-moon lake.

Zuo Yiyi, according to their arrangements, arrived at the lake. In the distance, she saw a tiger masked guy ravaging a female university student. Those miserable screams, sounded like she was calling for help. She then looked to the strange man with a heavenly fox mask, a tuxedo, and a top hat. Feeling a bit afraid, she asked, “Teacher Cang?”

Ye Cang nodded. “Jazz dancing is about one word, freedom. You’re an actress so should be able to express emotions, but… how to put those emotions into dance, that is the most crucial part. Your foundation is not bad, try following after me…”

Ye Cang said, then leapt onto half-moon lake. The bright moon cast his shadow onto the lake’s surface. Under his feet, the water faintly rippled. He looked mysterious as he stood there on the moon’s reflection.

Zuo Yiyi thought for a bit, then reached down intending to take off her high heels. If she was barefoot, it would be possible, but wearing high heels, it would be hard to stand on water for very long. Not only would her qi be unevenly distributed, it was hard for the 10cm heel to balance on the lake.

“Can’t take it off. Directly come over. I’ve said before, if you want to learn to dance from me, the first rule is you must wear formal attire…” Ye Cang indifferently said.

Zuo Yiyi hesitated, but still jumped over with him. Her qi circulated, and she tried her best to stand on the front part of her high heels. After not even 2 seconds, the heel poked through the water, then with a splash, she fell in. She was a mess, like a wet chicken. She had to tread water to stay afloat, disturbing the water’s surface. Looking to the gentleman standing on the reflection of the moon, she thought, that should be Ye Cang right? White hair, the one that danced that lonely waltz. “You’re White Asura right?”

Ye Cang didn’t answer, only calmly saying, “Here, I am just Fox Mask, your teacher. As for the rest, don’t ask about it, don’t think about it, got it? This is the second…”

Zuo Lili jumped and leapt out of the water, trying to stand on the lake again; however, she once again fell into the water. Ye Cang sighed. He pulled her out of the water and put his two hands on her shoulders to hold her steady. He supported the both of them, yet didn’t sink down at all. “Try taking a step. Don’t think about your heel piercing the water, actually barefoot and high heels are the same, you just have to use your qi differently. Put a bit more qi in the heel and a bit less in the front, not the other way around. When we dance, if the heel is unbalanced, you’ll fall into the water. Also, for a woman’s dance, being able to use the heel as compared to only stepping on the front are of completely different calibers. The movements you can do will be vastly different. You must take into consideration both the back and front. One more thing, it’s not just using more qi, but it must be steady. On the ground, it might be alright to use more qi to increase your movement speed, but on the lake, a bit more or less is not good.”

Zuo Yiyi controlled her breathing, then tried under Ye Cang’s guidance. 5 seconds. 10 seconds. Gradually she could, with difficulty, stand motionless on the lake’s surface, but she didn’t dare to move.

Ye Cang faintly smiled, then pulled her hand. “The more you worry about what’s under your feet, and the more you try to control your breathing, the more you will fall into the water. Relax your mind. Imagine yourself on a soft and frail carpet…”

Ye Cang led Zuo Yiyi, guiding her a step at a time, back to the shore. “Very good. Let’s end here for today, practice when you go back, especially your control over your strength. Dance can be both a forceful and wild, but also delicate and soft. Take your time. First, get used to standing on the lake. When you master that, a stage won’t be hard…”
