Chapter 184 When it comes to martial arts training, talent and luck are completely unreasonable; the
During a break, they got into a joking discussion about seeing Instructor Tong's maximum martial arts skills. On a whim, Tong Yuheng suggested demonstrating a set of palm techniques infused with internal energy, with the target being a rock about half a person's height on the riverbank.
This rock is the most prominent feature on this riverbank, and it's a bit annoying. But its foundation is thick and large, so it didn't take much effort to level it.
Tong Yuheng used his internal energy to begin performing a set of Baguazhang (Eight Trigrams Palm) moves, circling the stone and striking it with each palm strike, seemingly effortlessly.
After a short while, the demonstration of this set of palm techniques was completed, and Tong Yuheng made a closing gesture. Everyone applauded enthusiastically, but in reality, they didn't understand any of the techniques.
Tong Yuheng knew what they were thinking, smiled, and gently kicked the rock. The huge rock, which was half a person tall and took two people to hug, shattered into pieces!
Everyone's eyes widened, and their mouths were agape enough to fit an egg! Even Li Chengsong was no exception!
Oh my god! My girlfriend is so amazing! Luckily, she was taking a picture of a rock and not me!
The others thought the same way. They thought about how they had been defeated by Instructor Tong in a single sparring session a few days ago, and they felt it was no wonder.
I was wondering why she didn't make a move. If she had, this whole group wouldn't be training here anymore; they'd all be in the hospital!
Ten days later, the day finally arrived when Tong Yuheng was going to teach them the internal energy cultivation method, and everyone was incredibly excited.
"There's a saying: 'The Way is not easily passed on.' This is the family's secret martial art of the Qing Shi Tong family, so those who practice it are considered outer disciples of the Tong family. They must abide by the rules of the Qing Shi Tong family. Now I will explain the rules of our Tong family martial artists. Anyone who disagrees may leave!"
The room fell silent as they listened attentively to Tong Yuheng recount the rules for the Tong family disciples. There were no clauses that violated laws or morals, and they all accepted them with pleasure.
Tong Yuheng also explained that if the Tong family has a task, they will send a message to them, and whether or not to do it is entirely up to them.
In the future, the higher authorities will provide them with some resources for martial arts training. Because resources are scarce, they will not be given too much. They can obtain resources by completing tasks assigned by the Ancient Martial Arts Association and the Tong family.
There are rewards for completing tasks. The specific implementation method will be announced in the future. You can accumulate task rewards and choose what you need.
From now on, we are all disciples of the same sect and must not frame each other. If anyone commits a crime, the Tong family can expel them from the family without resorting to legal means!
Within the same sect, fellow disciples can help and support each other as long as they do not violate the law or morality. However, the Tong family will not require its disciples to do things for the Tong family simply because they are from the same sect.
Similarly, when encountering matters involving the rules of the ancient martial arts world, everyone should be cautious and not use the Tong family name to cause trouble or bully the weak.
"Instructor Tong, we accept these demands!" everyone said in unison, as these demands did not conflict with their beliefs.
"Since everyone has no objections, let's sign the confidentiality agreement and, as ancient martial arts warriors, swear an oath to our Party and our country!"
Li Chengsong led everyone, including Tong Yuheng, in swearing an oath before the Party flag and the national flag: they will use everything they have learned to fight for the defense of the motherland and the people!
The ceremony was simple yet solemn, and a strong sense of righteousness surged among the young people. They will use their youthful passion and the time of their lives to defend the ideals and beliefs in their hearts!

The training and course schedule was very full, with mornings and evenings dedicated to practicing internal energy cultivation techniques. Starting at eight o'clock in the evening, Tong Yuheng would prepare medicinal bath water for everyone, and they would soak in the medicinal bath while practicing.
Tong Yuheng secretly threw a few Cleansing Pulse Pills into the pool, and also threw one into the women's bath. The effect would be quite good, but not too obvious. Everyone's martial arts aptitude would be improved.
Li Chengsong bathed with the male soldiers, and even drank half a cup of the spiritual spring water that Yuheng gave him before taking a bath. He could clearly feel the benefits of this medicinal bath for improving his physical fitness.
He felt his strength had improved considerably in the past few days, and then Tong Yuheng told him that he had entered the advanced stage of martial arts. At his current level, he could register with the Ancient Martial Arts Association and receive missions!
"Does everyone get promoted this quickly? The effects of your medicine are amazing!" Li Chengsong worried for her, "If those people find out, it'll be a disaster!"
"Don't worry, everyone has only been learning for the past three months. It would be good if they could reach the beginner level of warrior. You can explain it by their good aptitude. They won't have too much trouble completing more difficult tasks in the future."
Kung Fu skills develop gradually, and medication is also necessary. They can't afford to take one of those pills that cost tens of dollars a day, can they? Even so, reaching the Martial Master stage takes at least two years, and that's considered fast progress.
Otherwise, how come most mid-level martial arts masters in the ancient martial arts world are over thirty? Many with poor aptitude spend their entire lives training at the warrior level.
"Am I getting promoted too fast? Will anyone notice?" Li Chengsong was afraid that he would cause her trouble.
"As my partner, it's normal for you to have good aptitude and cultivate quickly. No one can be jealous of you; you can only blame yourself for being born into the wrong family. When it comes to martial arts, talent and luck are completely unreasonable, enough to drive anyone crazy. And you have both of those!"
"Take one of these supplementary pills every three days. This stuff is only for family members; it's worth a fortune!" Tong Yuheng handed him two small glass bottles.
Li Chengsong was touched by her words, "Only our own people have this," and he was so happy that he had a smile on his face all day. Everyone could tell that he was in a good mood today.
"Why is Instructor Li so happy? He's always smiling! Is there something good happening?" a young soldier asked gossipy.
"I saw Instructor Tong go into his tent. Maybe he said something nice to cheer him up!" another kid chimed in.
"You two need a good beating, aren't you? The two instructors will deal with you both in a bit!" Yang Yuqiu glared at them. Even during their break, they couldn't stop gossiping about the two instructors!
"We're just curious! Do you think the two instructors are dating? Look, Instructor Li is always hanging around Instructor Tong!"
"So what if you are? Does that mean you don't need grueling training? Be careful, if Instructor Li hears you, he'll give you extra training!" the young soldier's squad leader warned him.
"I was just thinking, if they were dating, and they ever argued, would Instructor Li get beaten to a pulp by his girlfriend?"
"Pfft! Hahaha! Xiao Mengyu, aren't you worrying too much!" Everyone burst into laughter, imagining how beautiful that scene must be.
"Instructor Tong is so formidable, who would dare to provoke her? But I'm definitely not going to marry a wife more powerful than myself, lest I lose my authority as a husband!"
