179 Fist Training (2/2)
”Sigh! There is no perfect person in this world. God has given you extraordinary physical qualities, yet has prevented you from training Inner Qi. I am not sure if heaven was envious of your talents, or if fate made that decision!”
As Jiang Fei progressively improved, old man Hai could not help but sigh in his heart.
Jiang Fei was not aware of old man Hai's thoughts. He was lost in excitement as he went through the moves again and again. Every single time he threw that same punch, or the same leg sweep, something new dawned upon him. He had never experienced such monumental progress before.
”I am very envious of that master for acquiring such a good disciple. If it were possible, I would as for his permission to share the good fortune!”
Old man Hai was getting fond of Jiang Fei. Although he was an expert in Inner Qi, being an expert in one field meant being an expert in many fields. Therefore, he was also somewhat learned in External Toughness. Since the said master of Jiang Fei was not willing to teach him real battling techniques, he could easily take Jiang Fei in as his half-disciple and teach him fist techniques!
As old man Hai thought about this, he was unaware that Jiang Fei's master was all made-up and could not possibly appear.
As noon approached, Jiang Fei stopped training. Although sweat was forming on his forehead, his body showed no signs of tiring out!
”What a splendid young fellow!”
Even a master like old man Hai could not help but give him the thumbs up! Jiang Fei had trained for more than four hours from five in the morning, yet he had not taken any time to rest. What kind of energy and endurance did this young man have? Even a horse would be exhausted!
Four hours of continuous fist training was nothing like a slow jog. Fist training involved constant and rigorous physical exertion. Without resting, the intense training was nearly three to four times what an average martial artist could take.
As most people did not have Jiang Fei's additional physical enhancements, they would never come close to his level of endurance. They would need to rest every few ten minutes and take a sip of water.
However, Jiang Fei did none of that. He trained continuously in such a way that he improved at a godly pace. At the same time, an intense love for martial arts took hold of his heart.
”Hehe, old man, how was my training?” asked Jiang Fei sheepishly. He had taken things too far as always. Every move had taught him something new. Therefore, he had utterly forgotten about old man Hai's When he finally recalled that old man Hai was standing on the sidelines, he felt somewhat embarrassed.
”You have great natural talent. However, your technique is not without flaws!”
Old man Hai started pointing out his mistakes.
”Ah! I was wondering why I felt something amiss. So, that's the problem!”
Although old man Hai said very little, each word was straight to the point. Jiang Fei felt that he could address his mistakes with ease.
After another hour of training, old man Hai finally stopped Jiang Fei.
”It's getting late, it is time to hunt for food!”
”Gulp…”
It would have been better if old man Hai had remained silent. That verbal reminder triggered Jiang Fei's stomach. He had not eaten anything since the night before. Moreover, he had been exerting himself all day long. His stomach now housed a thundercloud, the hunger almost doubling him over.
