Instructor Qin's Change of Attitude

"The stance in front of you is your enemy."

"While practicing your punches, you must also ensure your fists can unleash maximum power in any situation!"

Ever since Fang Qingyu persevered yesterday, Instructor Qin began personally guiding him again, making others watch with envy.

But everyone had witnessed Fang Qingyu's desperate practice yesterday, so no one dared to say anything.

Fang Qingyu nodded and began practicing the Basic Fist Technique around the stance.

"Bang bang bang!"

The loud sound of punches made Instructor Qin, who had intended to leave, turn back in surprise.

"Wait a moment."

"?"

Fang Qingyu stopped, looking at him confused. He had just started practicing. Had he made a mistake?

"Come with me for a moment."

Instructor Qin didn't say anything else, just left that sentence and led Fang Qingyu to the side of the training area.

Various unknown instruments were placed here.

Upon arriving, Instructor Qin didn't speak for a while. Instead, he fiddled with the instruments.

After a long time, he pointed to a black panel nearby.

"Punch with all your might."

Fang Qingyu obeyed.

Bang—

The black panel didn't even budge, making Fang Qingyu wonder how heavy the instrument was.

Instructor Qin, however, was staring intently at the screen in front of him.

75KG!

Hiss...

This kid, his progress is so fast!!?

He had only arrived the first day.

When practicing the stance, he had noticed Fang Qingyu's poor foundation.

It was just that he learned the stance very quickly.

So he casually taught him personally; anyone else would have done the same.

Then, when practicing the Basic Fist Technique, He had seen Fang Qingyu's hard work.

So, since he was idle, he might as well teach him more, to see if he could enter the Elite Class.

But now, Fang Qingyu's pace of progress...

gave Instructor Qin a new idea.

If he maintained this speed, This kid really had more than a fifty percent chance of entering the Elite Class!

"I'm going to supervise your training from now on. Can you handle it?"

However, before that, he still had to ask Fang Qingyu's opinion.

Fang Qingyu was wondering if 75KG was a lot or a little.

Upon hearing this, he immediately nodded.

"I can handle it."

He wasn't afraid of hardship, but of hardship without reward.

But now that the diagram existed, The reward would come eventually.

"Alright, come and test it every day from now on. Go practice."

Instructor Qin nodded and first let Fang Qingyu practice on his own.

He then turned and started searching a weapon rack for a short stick before walking over to Fang Qingyu and staring at him.

Then...

Fang Qingyu's nightmare began.

Crack—

The short stick whipped the inside of Fang Qingyu's elbow.

"When you punch, your forearm should be tightened like a steel cable. What you're doing is like swinging noodles."

Fang Qingyu muffled a grunt as he retracted his right fist. Just as he adjusted his stance, the short stick tapped his lower back again. "Did you practice your stances for nothing? Your waist and hips are the rotation axis for generating power!"

Bang!

His second punch landed on the practice dummy.

Instructor Qin's short stick then struck just below his collarbone. "Dropping your shoulders and elbows isn't about hunching your neck!"

The boxing techniques Fang Qingyu had initially thought were correct were full of errors in Instructor Qin's eyes.

But Instructor Qin was right.

The short stick didn't actually hurt much when it hit him.

What was difficult was accepting how many mistakes he'd been making.

Perhaps for someone more stubborn.

Under Instructor Qin's supervision like this, they would have quit long ago.

But Fang Qingyu was all about taking advice.

Whether it was right or wrong, the knowledge base would tell him the answer.

[Your profession "Martial Arts Apprentice" EXP +1]

[Your profession's basic skill "Hidden Dragon Stance" EXP +1]

[Your profession's basic skill "Basic Fist Technique" EXP +1]

[.]

On his status panel, experience for all three categories was surging!

His choice today was definitely the right one.

When Fang Qingyu woke up this morning, he had initially intended to continue increasing his Physique to recover from body fatigue.

However, he also wanted to try adding points to Strength and Speed to see what the effect would be.

After all, all three attributes could be considered physical attributes.

The result was as he'd expected.

While the recovery effect wasn't as good as with Physique, it didn't hinder his normal training.

And just like with Physique, he could clearly sense the difference in his body.

That feeling of invincibility was even stronger.

It was precisely because of this that

Instructor Qin had suddenly changed his mind today.

It was a happy accident.

Pain and pleasure advanced hand in hand.

The people around him watched, their scalps tingling.

"This guy... is he a masochist?"

The short stick didn't hit very hard, but the red marks were undeniably left behind.

"He's training that hard..."

Most people came to the martial arts hall for two reasons.

One was to strengthen their bodies.

The other was to get better at fighting.

Even if they couldn't get into the Formal Class or the Elite Class, it didn't matter to them.

But seeing this scene today, no one dared to say anything about Instructor Qin giving Fang Qingyu special attention.

After the extra training session, Qi Hao didn't bother Fang Qingyu today, seeing that Instructor Qin was personally supervising him.

"That's all for today."

Instructor Qin placed the short stick back on the rack.

Only then did Fang Qingyu sit on the ground, gasping for breath, and look at his status panel.

[Profession: Martial Arts Apprentice Lv.1 (38/100)]

[Profession Basic Skill 1: Hidden Dragon Stance Lv.1 (52/100)]

[Profession Basic Skill 2: Basic Fist Technique Lv.1 (21/100)]

He had never experienced such rapid progress before.

Today alone, I gained 17 points in just my profession experience.

Both skills also gained about 20 points of experience.

If this keeps up, I'll level up in just a few days.

My four core attributes also saw gains.

[Strength: 9.2→9.3]

[Speed: 8.3→8.4]

[Physique: 9.2→9.3]

Each increased by 0.1, which isn't much.

But Fang Qingyu understood that the higher the base stat, the harder it was to improve Physique.

Especially if the training was like this every day.

"Instructor Qin, about how long will it take me to enter the Formal Class at this pace?"

After changing his clothes, Fang Qingyu followed Instructor Qin out of the martial arts hall.

"What, you want to run before you can walk?"

Instructor Qin took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

"No, I'm just curious."

Or rather, he wanted to gauge the gap between himself and others.

Fang Qingyu currently had no real concept of the Formal Class students or those in the Elite Class.

"You'll be ready when you can punch 150 kilograms,"

Instructor Qin said, still smoking, before walking towards a sedan.

"150 kilograms?"

Fang Qingyu muttered the number.

If that was the case, then the Formal Class students were even stronger than he had imagined.

Haozi had never shown his full strength.

As for the Elite Class, he couldn't even begin to guess.

Even Haozi had been stuck for so long; the intensity of the Elite Class was probably beyond his imagination.

However, Fang Qingyu felt not disappointment, but a subtle excitement.

There was a clear path upwards laid out before him.

The strong naturally felt excited.

Only the weak would see such a gap as an insurmountable chasm.

Fang Qingyu chuckled and shook his head, then walked towards his electric scooter, planning to go to the Clear Pool Club for lunch first.

The attribute increase this time wasn't significant.

So, the embarrassing situation from yesterday didn't repeat itself.

The heavy rain made the delivery box rattle loudly.

Fang Qingyu stopped before the countdown timer for the green light. The front wheel of his electric scooter bumped and splashed through a puddle, soaking his pant legs. Water lines were already dripping from the seams of his cheap rain slicker.

He picked up his phone; the system indicated he had seven minutes left.

Maintaining a 0% late rate even in the rain, he figured he must be keeping up with quite a few veteran riders.

This job, filled with the hustle and bustle of everyday life, also brought Fang Qingyu a considerable sense of accomplishment, thanks to the support of the 'Tu Pu'.

"Ding dong~"

Before he could put his phone away, another message popped up on Feixin.

It was a message tagging everyone in the group.

It came from the delivery group he had recently joined.

Normally, everyone would share information about areas to avoid.

Places with low pay and a lot of trouble.

Fang Qingyu tapped it open.

"@All members, please be careful when taking orders late at night recently. Try to avoid going to secluded areas!!"

"What happened?"

"Received!"

"..."

Someone below asked what was going on.

However, the group owner didn't reply.

Instead, others started posting screenshots of news articles.

"Recently, in Qingjian City, there have been multiple homicides in secluded areas during the late night and early morning hours. Citizens are advised to be cautious when out at night."
