Chapter 59 Blockade
Even though this comprehension had been achieved in a trance-like state but this kind of a comprehension was not something that would vanish as soon as it arrives as if waking from a dream. Rather it would become even more distinct. That move, that style, seemed to have been engraved in my mind.
Only…..
"Ding Ding Ding…."
Mister Han was very forcefully striking the piece of broken iron located in the dining hall. I promptly ran towards the cla.s.sroom but didn"t expect that the people inside the cla.s.sroom would all come rushing outside.
I could only stand with a blank expression, unexpectedly, the school had already finished.
Huang Shulang came running over. With his body, being able to be the first one to come running to my side, it could truly be said to be a miracle. Him sitting on the seat beside the door also had something to do with it.
"Master, were you shadowboxing, ah? Or were you just bunking and not going to the cla.s.s. Teacher Ma didn"t come to call you. If I were you, I would just stay at home and sleep every day."
"You should just turn into a pig, and you would be able to sleep every day with no one to stop you." I glanced menacingly at Huang Shulang.
"Becoming a pig is good, but once I get fat I would just be slaughtered for my meat!" Huang Shulang said without getting upset.
I didn"t expect that a pig was really an ideal role-model in Huang Shulang"s mind.
Ma Jindong came running over and as soon as he arrived he began telling on Li Lijuan: "Ma….Master, Li….Li Lijuan, du…during cla.s.s, complained about you to the teacher."
Huang Shulang immediately struck Ma Jindong on the head: "You are allowed to speak slowly, what is the rush? That"s right Master, Li Lijuan complained to the teacher against you during the cla.s.s time. Fortunately, Teacher Ma said that everyone has their own little secrets. He didn"t go fetch you. Master, what kind of a secret do you have?"
I kicked Huang Shulang and said: “Everything I say is secret. What do you want to ask?"
I didn"t want to be drawn into these two fellows long-windedness.
Li Lijuan also came running over: "Huang Jingyang….."
Li Lijuan had barely just yelled out my name when she was interrupted by Huang Shulang: "Li Lijuan, you unexpectedly dare to call out Master"s name! Your galls are big enough to cover the sky. I being the eldest apprentice, should teach you a nice lesson!"
Li Lijuan blanked out for a moment before promptly saying: "Master, why, why didn"t you attend cla.s.s?"
Even though Huang Shulang spoke of teaching a lesson and but he was just posturing with his hands raised. Although this guy was shameless, he still would be embarra.s.sed to fight a woman.
"This is a secret." I was truly grateful to Teacher Ma. He found a good excuse for me.
Owing to this time"s boxing comprehension, I had new things to teach my three apprentices. However, this time things were different. Earlier, I could just read the book word by word, and use the diagrams to teach them what I learnt at that time. Now, I had to teach them things I had gained through genuine comprehension. Therefore the results were totally different. It"s difficult to say whether things, as comprehended by me, are better than those as mentioned in the boxing diagrams, but others wouldn"t write the genuine details within the boxing ill.u.s.trations. Moreover, I am able to understand them even more completely.
A letter from Teacher Lin arrived. She had already chosen the Provincial Capital and was studying post-graduate there. Moreover, she had sent some books along for me. Teacher Lin knew that I loved books on scripts similar to Oracle Bone Script. Additionally, she had also stuffed in between the 《Cla.s.sic of Mountains and Seas – School Annotated》.《Cla.s.sic of Mountains and Seas – School Annotated》was like obtaining a great treasure for me, that, as far as I was concerned was completely about a mystical world. Even though I didn"t know whether it truly existed or not but those exotic beasts from ancient times felt very mystical to me. I had always felt that perhaps that world might be real. Also, perhaps it was people said, a mythical world.
The ancient texts were all inscribed on blocks of wood or bamboo sheets, or even animal hide. Who was so idle that he didn"t have anything to do but fabricate this kind of a book? As far as I was concerned, it didn"t matter if fabricated or not, as this book was a source of great delight for me.
I greatly treasured this book given to me by Teacher Lin, not letting anyone else touch even once. Fortunately, Huang Shulang and Ma Jindong were not the kind of children who would be eager to study. Li Lijuan was studious, but she was too sensitive and didn"t have the guts to ask for borrowing my stuff.
One month had pa.s.sed, and the results of my boxing lessons were quite good.
While practising in the early morning with Huang Shulang, Ma Jindong and Li Lijuan, I was able to discern faint amounts of Primordial Qi flowing within their bodies. Their boxing technique had also become quite decent.
Those new students were also not bad. A few with good talent had even managed to gain some boxing intent.
As for the Interval exercises in Ba Jiao Elementary School, still the Great Ancestor Longfist was being practised, but the students had already become proficient at the complete set Great Ancestor Longfist. The elementary school students were at an age where they were very malleable. They were able to absorb things nicely and copy things even better. However, they could only be able to learn the basic framework. Having been able to teach them to this extent felt to me like I had even exceeded my original task.
Ma Yushun always looked at me like a mouse looks at a cat, but I also felt that he concealed a lot of things in his expression. I didn"t pay attention to Ma Yushun at all, naturally also didn"t have any ideas towards him. However, the things that would happen will always happen.
On one day, after school ended, I saw a group of tall and big High School students blocking half of the road used by students returning home from school.
As soon as I saw a group of High School students from afar, I could sense that something was amiss, but I didn"t feel any threat.
A High School student with long hear, a dress that looked a bit old, and an appearance similar to a hoodlum, blocked my path.
"Who is called Huang Jingyang?" He asked a question whilst very well knowing the answer. From the fact that he had been staring at me, I could deduce that he had already recognized me.
"What do you want?" I said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"You"re Huang Jingyang? We have a bit of business with you. There"s also that fatty, en, there"s also that stutterer. There is also that girl with two pigtails, we can"t let anyone get away." A large group of High School students could be very oppressive to an elementary school student. Just looking at the disparity in the heights was enough to give them an advantage in a confrontation.
So, these group of high school students didn"t worry in the least. The only thing that worried them was the possibility of adults interfering. Therefore, the place that they chose was right between the school and village, with even the forest providing them cover.
Some of the timid elementary school students had already begun crying. Huang Jingyang and Ma Jindong were also shaking a bit. Li Lijuan, on the other hand, was a bit more determined than them, and although she had hidden behind me, she looked rather calm.
"Huang Jingyang, I heard that you were being quite pretentious at Ba Jiao Elementary School. We don"t want to bully you, you just need to kneel down and knock your head on the ground thrice, and call me your grandpa a hundred times. Your grandpa, I, will let you go. In the future, you will be my grandson. In this Ba Mountain Range, you will have my protection." The youngster who was the leader said very fiercely.
Everyone had some things in their heart that couldn"t be touched. If he hadn"t insulted my Grandpa, maybe I would have had the patience to play along. However, when he said that, he no longer had that option.
I didn"t say a word, just straight up rushed forward and kicked out at the youngster. If it were not for my fear that I would actually kill him, I would have put in even more force and he would have died on the spot. However, his actual condition was not that much better. The moment my foot landed on his body, his bones issued a cracking sound, before he flew out, only to slam against that group of ignorant youngsters. That youngster who was leading looked as if his soul was ready to exit from his body.
They were in the habit of confronting lambs, but they had carelessly run into a fierce tiger. How could they even muster up the will to engage? Several of the youngsters had started crying on the spot because they thought that their leader had died on the spot. Seeing my power and their not-so-bright prospects, several youngsters were preparing to flee.
"Who dares to kill who!" I said in a loud voice.
Those high school students who were preparing to flee had promptly withdrawn their feet. Right now, when they looked at me, their eyes were not of an evil wolf looking at a lamb, rather those were the eyes of lambs looking at a tiger.
Huang Shulang was no longer trembling, he jumped up and slapped someone in the face. He put his everything into that slap and surprisingly that person somersaulted onto the ground from the force of the slap.
"If a tiger doesn"t show his might, you think that I am a sick cat! All of you, All of you are dead!"
Ma Jindong also stood up and let out a kick.
"Who asked you to come?" Ma Jindong stepped on the guy who was kicked by him.
"It, It, It was Ma Yushun. He said that you had hit him, so he beseeched Elder Brother Wu to teach you a lesson."
"Where is Ma Yushun?" I looked around and immediately saw Ma Yushun who was ready to flee into the woods.
"Ma Yushun, if you dare to run away, I will chase you to your home and I will beat you!" I shouted.
Ma Yushun"s legs had gone soft, and he didn"t dare flee.
