Congratulations to Master Yae, it's a happy occasion

"Well, I understand your desire to learn martial arts from me. Now, kneel down and call me Master."

"Okay, you eat my food and use my things, and now you come to bargain with me. I'll deprive you of the right to use your phone." Xingze had a dark and fierce face, and was about to reach out to take the phone next to Hutao.

"No!" Hu Tao threw herself on Xingze's hand who was holding the phone.

"No, this was bought for me by Sister Shen Zi. Believe it or not, I will tell her later that you bullied me." Hu Tao pouted her lips, her eyes full of stubbornness.

"At worst, I won't let you call me master anymore." Hu Tao muttered aggrievedly.

Fortunately, Xingze has good hearing now, otherwise he would not be able to hear clearly.

……

So under Kurumi's vigilant gaze, the two finished their breakfast.

Kurumi followed Xingze to a secluded forest nearby.

Normally no one comes to this place, and the stone road is overgrown with weeds.

Now that the city is developing so fast, it is really not easy to find such a place.

When they arrived at the place, Hu Tao stomped her feet, and the JK outfit she was originally wearing suddenly turned into her own clothes, and the Qiankun Taigua hat on her head was also put on.

Wow, is it so magical?

Kurumi did not take out her weapon, the Staff of Homa, but picked up a dead branch from the ground.

Then he casually pointed at Xingze, his aura rising spontaneously, and Xingze also felt waves of what should be murderous intent.

"Hu Tao, what are you doing?" Xingze looked at the posture Hu Tao was posing and was a little confused for a moment. Didn't she say she wanted to teach him martial arts?

"Call the teacher!!"

Hu Tao frowned and continued, "Do you know what the first step in learning how to fight is?"

"Yes, what is it?"

"You have to learn to take a beating. If you can't even stand being beaten, how can you beat others?" Hu Tao said in a serious tone.

"If you want to win in a battle, you must first ensure that you will not be defeated by others. If you cannot do this, then don't even think about fighting others, because that would only lead to your death."

"Then what should I do?"

"Look at me. All you have to do next is dodge the branches I stab you with."

"Don't worry, I won't use the Eye of God."

No need for God's Eye?

That's much simpler. With my current physique, it should be a piece of cake.

However, the next second, Xingze realized how naive his previous thoughts were.

Walnut did not use the Eye of God, he just held the branch and stabbed towards him lightly.

In Xingze's opinion, it was as if this scene was slowed down 20 times and he could dodge it easily.

But then.

Rub, sizzle.

In an instant, the branch that was originally moving slowly was already on Xingze's neck. Xingze could even feel a chill as cold as steel coming from the branch.

Although the branches stopped, Xingze felt like he had died once.

At that moment, Xingze didn't see what happened at all. If this happened in a battle, he would have been stabbed through.

Thinking of this, Xingze couldn't help but tremble all over, and his hands and feet became cold.

Seeing Xingze standing there motionless, his hands trembling from time to time, Kurumi asked, "How is it? Now you understand why the first step in fighting is to learn to take a beating, right?"

"I see. If you can't even withstand the enemy's attacks, how can you talk about defeating the enemy?"

Xingze forced himself to take a breath and looked at Hu Tao with a firm gaze again.

"Come on, keep going!!!"

There was a hint of admiration in Hu Tao's plum blossom eyes.

Good, I wasn’t shocked.

"Okay, I'll start."

As soon as Hu Tao finished speaking, the branch in his hand turned into a long stick and smashed straight at Xingze's forehead.

Feeling the strong wind on his forehead, Xingze felt a little pain.

"Don't trust the enemy's words. I said I was going to stab you, but I hacked you."

Hu Tao retracted the branch and said calmly to Xingze.

Xingze nodded to show that he understood.

This time, Hu Tao's attack speed was obviously slower.

Xingze could barely see the afterimages of tree branches.

It's strange that even though Walnut was swinging the branch so fast, the dead branch didn't break.

Don't be afraid, don't be nervous, Xingze silently reminded himself in his heart, his eyes fixed on the direction where the branch came from.

Once, twice, the sound of people hitting people continued to come from the woods.

……

The beating lasted for two hours.

Xingze didn't know how many times he had been hit, but there was no place on his body that didn't hurt.

But in return, he became more proficient in attacking Walnut, and at least he could see the attacks clearly.

Although he still couldn't escape the fate of being beaten.

As Xingze gradually became able to dodge, Kurumi stopped attacking.

He couldn't dodge now only because of his own limit. Further training would be of no help, so he might as well do something else.

For example, teaching Xingze how to use weapons.

Kurumi looked at the branch in his hand, shook his head and threw it aside.

Then a red light flashed in her hand, and a spear more than two meters long appeared in her hand.

This time Xingze saw it clearly. When the spear appeared, Hu Tao's divine eye lit up.

It seems that this Eye of God is also a space treasure, which makes Xingze very envious.

But there's no point in being greedy. Good things like the Eye of God are kept and distributed by the gods. Hu Tao definitely doesn't have many of them. I just wonder if the Son of God, as a follower of the gods, will have many of them?

In the game, Ying, the otaku girl, even handed over the Heart of God to the Son of God for safekeeping.

I made up my mind to go back and ask the Son of God.

Kurumi handed the spear to Xingze.

"Hold it, stand with your feet forward and back, not too far apart, about shoulder width apart, with your left foot in front, facing straight ahead, and your right foot behind, with your toes turned 45 degrees outward, and your center of gravity between your legs."

"Practice the most basic standing posture first, and I will teach you slowly later."

Hu Tao clapped his hands, then took out his cell phone, ran to the side, found a rock to sit on, and started watching videos.

Xingze also knew the importance of laying a solid foundation. After reading so many novels, he found that every protagonist in them laid a solid foundation in the early stages, spending several times more time than other people. The results they obtained in the end were unmatched by others, at least they were invincible at the same level.

Chapter 40: Yae Fox Wants to Raise a Fox

Xingze stood there for nearly half an hour, and Kurumi finally looked at him.

"Let's practice splitting the spear first. This is the easiest."

"Watch me demonstrate. The first step is to lift the bag with empty steps..."

"The second step is to drop your feet and chop the spear."

"drink!"

Kurumi didn't use any elemental power at all, and the 30-centimeter-diameter tree opposite was directly hit and broken in half.

Xingze looked at the broken tree. It seemed that Hutao didn't use much effort just now.

"call……"

Xingze exhaled a breath of foul air.

The exercise lasted until the afternoon. At noon, Xingze had to make do with the takeout he ordered. He still can't forget the look in the delivery boy's eyes at that time.

Hu Tao jumped down from the stone with a smile, stood on tiptoe, and patted Xingze's shoulder.

Then he said with a teachable expression: "Not bad, you didn't fall down. Let's increase the amount of training tomorrow."

I have to say, although Hu Tao is usually careless and unserious, he is very serious when it comes to teaching.

"You take a rest first, we'll continue later." Hu Tao looked at the sun in the sky and thought they could continue for another two hours.

After getting permission to rest, Xingze instantly felt his whole body go limp, and he felt pain and soreness. He didn't feel it when he was practicing just now, but now that he had a break, he felt all kinds of things.

If it was just the dodging exercises and standing training at the beginning, it wouldn't be so tiring at all. But later on, Hu Tao asked for full-strength spear splitting training.

Use the end of the spear to chop hard five thousand times, and then continue when you are done.

Even if his physique was ten times stronger, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

"Come, drink some water." Hu Tao unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and handed it to Xingze who was sitting on the ground.

"Sister Shen Zi just sent you a message, asking you to go to this place to pick up something." Hu Tao took out Xingze's mobile phone, unlocked it, and showed him the message.

"What?" Xingze looked at the message sent by the Son of God, which asked him to go to the west of the city to pick up a package.

Taking the phone, Xingze sent a message back to Shen Zi.

【What's in your package? 】

As soon as the message was sent, the other party replied immediately.

[I just bought a little fox online this afternoon. It’s pink and very cute.]

pink?

Xingze thought about it carefully, but due to his limited knowledge, as far as he knew, there didn't seem to be pink foxes?

He has no objection if Shen Zi wants to raise small animals, and even strongly supports it, but don't buy those animals that are made sick by unscrupulous bosses in order to make money.

Well, even if Shen Zi was not cheated, and the little fox sold by the seller was the correct product, but if it was really a pink fox, it would definitely be a national protected animal and the person would be put in jail.

Thinking of this, Xingze quickly sent a message to the Son of God.

[Son of God, have you paid yet? ]

[I paid the deposit, and he said he could inspect the goods offline, so I called you. Cute.jpg]

[Okay, that's the address you sent me above. I'll go there right away. You must have been scammed. There are no other pink-haired foxes besides you.]

【Knock.jpg】

Xingze put away his phone and smiled softly.

This Son of God has now been completely misled by himself and has lost all the dignity of a follower of the God of Thunder.

Speaking of the God of Thunder, what if the God of Thunder really comes over and sees that I have killed her followers...

Tsk tsk tsk, Xingze quickly shook his head, trying not to think about such a horrible thing.

"Hu Tao, I have to go to a faraway place to get something, do you want to come with me?"

Xingze turned and looked at Kurumi and said.

"Is there anything fun there?" Hu Tao put away her phone, looked up at Xingze and asked.

"No, I was just going to get something."

When Hu Tao heard Xingze say no, she immediately lost interest.

"Then you go alone. I'll go back first." Hu Tao said, and a red light flashed on her body. She changed into JK clothes again, and then took the lead and walked out of the woods.

Well, then I won’t go.

Xingze also followed Hu Tao and soon they arrived at the road.
