Chapter 112 - 112. Learning Everything From A Humble Master. (1/2)
Passersby were curious as they peered from the gates outside as they watched the father and children jogging a lap of approximately 400 meters before breaking into a sprint and then slow down to a jog afterwards.
This type of exercise is to enhance their cardio so that it would be able to pump blood and oxygen throughout the whole body. Also, it is to train them to cover long distances in a sprint and jog manner to evade enemies and to cover their tracks and distance well.
Secondly, this is to train their focus that after running such a great distance, they would meet their first obstacle... The Low Wall. On certain instances, I used to witness trainees that simply end up bulldozing the wall after performing a mere 800 meter run down.
It's either their legs refuse to listen to the command to stop or simply they wanted to bring down the wall in order for them and the rest to clear. It's either that or they wanted a high wall instead to scale.
Its been a week since I had woken up from the coma and I could feel the leg muscles burning at my valves and thighs. My mouth was dry and my throat was dry too since I used my physical strength to cover the distance of slightly more than 5 clicks.
In the end, after my 6th round, I have to use my chi breathing to regulate everything back to normal and on the 8th round, it was smooth sailing onwards. I saw the children seems to have boundless energy due to their upgrade in their base level as well as their attributes and they PK their way at the obstacles before the Low Wall.
They were laughing and joking around and yeah, I was a bit jealous that even I occupy a youthful body but my original ailments were brought along with me too and didn't just disappear. Hmm, maybe visiting Pointus would have some remedies for me to apply.
I was soaked through with perspiration after we finally cleared the 13 rounds around the castle and I finally noticed a group of adventurers were gathering and discussing among themselves at the gate entrance after they saw us running around. When the children and I finally hit the low wall, I was the first to clear it with a leap, a kick and a snatch, sitting on top of the wall and hoisting the kids one by one and throwing them off at the sides.
Since these children had a newer system than mine, their acrobatics and athletism were greatly improved. Soon we cleared the second, third, fourth and continues until we cleared the ramp. The moment I landed past the concertina wire, I felt as if my whole strength had left my body and sunk into the ground and leaving just my body above it.
”OOOFFFPPPHHH...” I grunted as I landed and rolled to the ground to break my fall and ended up back on my feet as I jogged on the spot to recover my lost strength... I really need some isotonic drink right now.
I watched the children did the same way as me, thinking it was one way to PK and furthermore their Daddy had done so acrobatically... ”Phew... Daddy, you really wanted us to be as strong as you, eh? Is this want we will be doing each day before the start of anything else?”
”That's right, strong mind and body. We would take a 5-minute break and then I would guide you through the training grounds next.” I suggested next as we went over to the courtyard where a water dispenser was there as we helped with cold water just to replace some lost fluids.
”Since all of you are considered as Ranger-Assassin-Wizards, it would be good to learn some basic swordsmanship. You had all been issued with the Dragon Fang Assassin's Dagger, and it's time to learn some basics.”
”Pick up a wooden dagger from the weapons rack and follow me after I raise the Wingchun statutes.” I pressed a button near the wall next to the weapons rack and 8 Wingchun statues raise from the ground slowly as I took a dagger and a staff for myself as I wished to demonstrate to them.
”Most importantly is watch your stance and posture and make it as small as you can and low to the ground. This is a horse stance with your legs apart, this gives you an equal balance to your body but gives you restrictions to parry or counterattack your opponent.”
”Try this stance, one foot forward and one in the back to support most of your weight.” as I demonstrated from an upright position until I am able to get lower to the ground with my left foot forward and my right holding the dagger and pointing inwards as I shield my arm to my face.
