Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 37, Learning Martial Arts Together

It was almost noon, and Li Ren's father Li Hu suggested: Brother Wang, we have booked a private room in Desheng Building. We will have a meal there at noon to celebrate the two children becoming our apprentices. What do you think?
Wang Li’s father said: That’s fine, otherwise Wang Li’s mother’s cooking skills are average and I’m afraid we won’t be able to entertain so many people at noon.

Afterwards, six adults and three students packed up and walked towards Desheng Building.

In a harmonious atmosphere, the nine people went home after dinner. They also agreed that Zhang Fang and Li Ren would run to Wang Li's house from tomorrow morning, and Wang Li would teach them martial arts, and they would have breakfast at Wang Li's house before going to school.

The parents of the two were very satisfied with this arrangement. They all came from military backgrounds and they very much supported their children getting up early. At the same time, they also remembered this friendship in their hearts.

The next morning, after Zhang Lei arrived at the unit, he found a deputy director in charge of housing construction and asked him to help the Wang family with the house procedures. He also told him to try his best to meet the Wang family's requirements within the scope permitted by regulations.

The deputy director went to the housing management department of Wang Li’s district to inquire about the situation that day. After learning about the Wang family’s needs, he believed that there were no violations.

He found Wang's courtyard house according to the address Zhang Lei told him. He met Wang Li's father, explained his purpose, and took all the documents with him to the district housing management department to handle the relevant procedures.

When handling the property formalities, Wang Li's father reported Wang Li's plans for the house, including the basements of the first and second courtyards, the underground warehouse and the garden basement, to the Real Estate Bureau. In short, the construction conditions of their house were relaxed within the scope allowed by the state.

Because he had someone he knew, the process went smoothly and the formalities were approved on the same day. With Wang Li's father's thanks, the deputy director returned to report.

Their family’s project could continue, and that afternoon Wang Li’s father and Lai San continued to dig the foundation.

Wang Li heard these things from his father after he came home from school. That morning, Wang Li and his two companions had just started practicing martial arts when Zhang Fang and Li Ren arrived. They were sweating profusely, and it was obvious that they had run.

Wang Li said: Very good, your muscles and bones have been loosened up, and you can start practicing martial arts. Start with horse stance, and make your lower body strong first.

From that day on, the number of people practicing martial arts in the Wang family increased to five, and the life became more lively.

Wang Li's study life has become more interesting. He has two friends accompanying him to school every day. The two of them also become Wang Li's followers at school. The relationship between the three of them has become better as they get along with each other.

Time passed quickly, and Wang Li still hadn't made any breakthroughs in his Golden Body Sutra, and was still at the perfect stage of training the skin and flesh. He believed that when he got older and his body had grown, he would be able to break through to the stage of training the tendons and bones. Therefore, he was not in a hurry, and continued to lay the foundation, studying hard and practicing diligently.

Wang Li discovered the characteristics of Zhang Fang and Li Ren. Zhang Fang was relatively strong, so he taught him the sword skills secret book. Li Ren's body was more balanced, so he taught him the body skills secret book and Bajiquan. Lai San still practiced the leg skills secret book.

The reason why he didn't teach them all the Bajiquan and the other three secrets was not because he wanted to keep them to himself, but because human energy is limited. Moreover, they had just started to learn martial arts, and Wang Li thought that having a focus would be better for their future development.

In short, they persisted in their martial arts training. I believe that as long as they persevere, with Wang Li's kung fu level, it will not be a problem to teach them to become masters.
