As the holiday drew to a close, Xia Zhiyi, based on the information she had gathered through various means, created training plans for her disciples.
The reason he conducted these tests was twofold: firstly, to let those who would later conduct the same tests for others know the approximate difficulty of the task, and secondly, to ensure that only through firsthand experience could they understand how to handle the situation appropriately.
Secondly, it lets those secretly watching the progress behind the scenes know that learning from him won't be an easy task.
Thirdly, we also want to see if we can push these disciples to their full potential through these tests. Although they are a bit old for martial arts, human potential is limitless. Even if someone is seventy or eighty years old, as long as their will is firm, their potential can still be pushed.
Fortunately, the results were all pretty good.
The training plan is customized, but the basic training is similar for everyone, such as the daily morning run, which is the same for all ten people.
As for other stances like horse stance, those are adjusted slightly according to each person's physical condition and emphasis.
After receiving the training plan, all ten of them were a little nervous, fearing that their training would be just as nerve-wracking as it had been these past few days.
After seeing that the training plan seemed mostly normal, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Zhiyi smiled, not exposing their little schemes, and said gently as always, "I'm about to start classes, so I won't be able to come and supervise your training every day. Just follow your respective training schedules for now."
Xia Zhiyi: "I made these arrangements based on each of your individual conditions, basically capping them at your current physical limits. So don't even think about secretly adding extra training sessions for yourselves. Go to sleep and rest when you should at night, understand?"
Xia Zhiyi: "If you develop any problems because you're too eager to succeed, I won't be responsible."
The group exchanged glances and nodded in unison.
If Xia Zhiyi, they might have secretly continued their extra training. After all, everyone already knew what kind of training they were receiving, and it would be a lie to say they didn't want to see results quickly.
However, in this area, Xia Zhiyi is an expert, a teacher, and a mentor, so they have to follow his arrangements.
Xia Zhiyi the group had obediently listened and nodded. "I'll come over this month to see how things go, and I'll come back to inspect the results after a month. I trust you won't slack off, so I won't say any more."
"By the way, if anyone asks you for the training schedule, you can decide for yourselves."
"However, it needs to be made clear to people that this arrangement is based on individual circumstances. Everyone's situation is different, and if someone rashly takes it and uses it directly, I will not be responsible for any problems that arise."
"In addition, during my absence, you should also learn to analyze the differences between your respective training plans, why I made those adjustments, and write a report. I will collect it in a month."
Xia Zhiyi casually assigned a task, then tilted her head and said, "One written report a month, not too difficult, right?"
This time, the ten people hesitated before nodding.
Xia Zhiyi didn't care; since they nodded, it meant they agreed.
Xia Zhiyi: "Oh, by the way, the report needs to be at least 10,000 words. I don't want to receive a 'I don't know' answer."
Everyone: "..."
Their hearts were already filled with despair!
So your previous feeling wasn't just a figment of your imagination, right?
So this seemingly well-behaved and gentle boy in front of you is really a devil, right?
He absolutely did it on purpose!
absolute!
But everything he said was logical and well-founded, making it impossible to refute!
hateful!
This task is way too difficult!
Xia Zhiyi didn't care what they were thinking. Of these ten people, several had become his disciples, whether they were inner disciples, outer disciples, or just nominal disciples.
His arrangement was based on two reasons. First, this was something they were meant to do anyway, since they would be teaching other students in the future; how could they not understand it themselves?
Moreover, he didn't say they could conduct independent research. Don't think he doesn't know that while the base appears to be available for him and these ten people, there are actually quite a few people secretly observing.
Secondly, with this arrangement, these ten people will inevitably have to discuss and study together, which will help them get to know each other better.
And just like that, Xia Zhiyi left the matter behind, waved goodbye, and left the base with a smile.
He no longer needed to keep an eye on things every day, Xia Zhiyi could go to class in peace.
Okay, and by the way, I'll take care of that thing he planned before.
Xia Wanyi stayed at the base with Xia Zhiyi for two days, and then Xia Zhiyi arranged for her to stay at a hotel in the city, which would make it easier for Xia Zhiyi to take Xia Zhen to other places in the Imperial Capital.
On the last day of the holiday, Xia Zhiyi finally had a whole day of free time. She took Xia Wanyi, Xia Zhen, and Ming Taotao for a stroll around University A, and then led the three girls for a walk around the university town area. Just like that, the holiday came to an end.
When Xia Wanyi Xia Zhiyi said apologetically, "I was supposed to be with my sister and Xiao Zhen these past few days, but I got held up by something."
Xia Wanyi gazed at him tenderly and gently shook her head. "There's no such thing as 'should' or 'shouldn't.' I brought Xiao Zhen here not for tourism, but mainly to see you."
"As long as the family can be together and see each other often, it doesn't matter what we do or not."
Xia Zhiyi: "Hmm, don't worry, sister. I don't need to keep an eye on things all the time. I just need to check on things occasionally."
"I'll go have dinner with my sister and Xiao Zhen this weekend."
Xia Wanyi: "Hmm? There's no need to go to so much trouble. You've been attending classes all week, you should rest well this weekend..."
Xia Zhiyi smiled, "It's okay, I've looked at the university courses, so it's not stressful for me."
It could even be said that for Xia Zhiyi, the current university course schedule is no different from a vacation.
Xia Wanyi: "Okay, if you're coming, just let me know in advance."
Xia Zhen gently tugged at Xia Zhiyi's sleeve. "Brother."
Xia Zhiyi squatted down to be at Xia Zhen's eye level. "Yes, Xiao Zhen, you need to take good care of yourself while you're with your older sister. Sometimes I get busy and miss mealtimes, so you need to remind her, okay?"
Xia Zhen nodded obediently. "Okay, brother, I remember."
Xia Zhiyi patted her head. The little girl had gotten her hair cut the day before yesterday when she went out to play with Xia Wanyi. Now she had a cute bob haircut.
My hair looks much better now.
Xia Zhen was like a well-behaved, docile kitten, standing there letting Xia Zhiyi pet her as she pleased.
She was so adorable, Xia Zhiyi reached out and hugged her again, patting her back. "So cute."
When Xia Zhen is praised, she gets a little shy, but her eyes light up, and she looks happy and even cuter.
After seeing the two sisters off, Xia Zhiyi dialed Li Jing's number on her way back to school.
Xia Zhiyi: "Hey, did you hand yourself over?"
