“The two arms, the forearm and the shoulder should be in one line. The leg is a bow, the waist is a bow, and the hand is a bow. The three bows should be combined into one. The leg strength, waist strength and arm strength should be improved. Only then can the bow be powerful, far and accurate. This is the basic skill of Kyudo…” At the archery range of the Kyudo Club, Yan Liqiang, who had transformed into a devil coach, was holding a white ash stick in his hand. He spoke loudly to instruct the Kyudo Club students who were training hard with gritted teeth next to him, and walked among the rows of Kyudo Club students. If he saw anyone with a problem, he would tap them with the stick.
At this moment, there are nearly a thousand students from the Kyudo Club at the archery range, half of whom are standing on the ground in a bow stance, holding two pieces of iron in their hands. There are also two red bricks placed flat on their shoulders, which they hold horizontally in the posture of drawing a bow and arrow. They maintain this posture while sweating profusely - they cannot put down the iron blocks in their hands, and the bricks on their shoulders cannot fall off.
For the students of the Kyudo Club, this kind of training is carried out once a day, for at least an hour each time, which is half an hour. During such training, as long as the body can't keep the posture or the hands tremble, the two bricks on the shoulders of these students will fall off. In order to prevent the bricks on the shoulders from falling off, everyone gritted their teeth and persisted. Most people have swollen arms after a day of training, especially at the beginning. Many people can't even lift their arms the next day, and they all complain bitterly.
After persisting like this for half a month, fewer people complained, and everyone started to practice desperately, because there would be a "reward" for practicing well - those who could persist for an hour, that is, half an hour without the brick on their shoulders falling off, could touch the bow and play with the real thing, shooting three arrows at the archery range every day, and then, for every quarter of an hour they could persist, they could shoot three more arrows, and for every quarter of an hour they could persist, they could shoot six more arrows, and so on...
If you can't pass this level, you won't even be qualified to touch the bow. After passing this level, the stronger you are, the more training opportunities you will get. When they were in the previous training queue, there was no obvious difference or division in the strength of the students in the Kyudo Club. Everyone standing in the team felt the same. But at this time, those students with stronger strength and stamina could easily complete an hour of such training every day without any effort, and then they could get Yan Liqiang's guidance and shoot more than ten arrows on the archery range.
Those who failed to pass the test stayed at the back, holding irons and continuing to train this basic skill, while those who passed the test every day could, on the next morning, step out of the queue at the archery range, amid the envious eyes of everyone, as if performing a ceremony, and loudly announce their results yesterday, and enjoy the feeling of drawing the bow according to their performance yesterday.
At this point, the strength of the students in the Kyudo Club can be determined by how many arrows they can shoot every morning. Among the 3,000 students in the Kyudo Club, there are probably more than 100 people who can maintain this posture for more than an hour every day, more than 10 people who can maintain it for more than two hours, and more than 200 people who can pass the basic level. These numbers will increase every few days.
As young people, who doesn't have a competitive and upward spirit? Seeing the people around them starting to stand out one by one and showing off their strength in front of thousands of people every morning, those who didn't pass the test naturally had to train hard. Even those students who met the basic requirements and could maintain this posture for half an hour, seeing that there were people who were better than themselves and could shoot more arrows than themselves every day, naturally wanted to catch up.
Yan Liqiang was walking among the group of students, his eyes swept over those faces covered with sweat. It was November and Ganzhou had entered winter. The temperature dropped sharply and there was a cold wind on the archery range, but the clothes of the students standing here were still soaked with sweat. Drops of sweat flowed from their foreheads to their faces, and some flowed into their eyes, making their eyes red and stinging, but no one wiped them. Everyone was holding on, because as long as they moved, the bricks on their shoulders would fall off.
Yan Liqiang could tell the name behind every face. Many of them were already very, very familiar to him, especially those who had stood out in the past few months. They had already been registered in Yan Liqiang's heart. Yan Liqiang not only knew their names, but also their personal strengths and abilities, family situations and friends. Confucius had 72 sages among his 3,000 disciples. Among the first 3,000 students in the Kyudo Club, there were also many talented people, and many of them had already made their mark.
"Remember, the hardships, fatigue, and sweat you endure every day are the capital for you to be awesome and show off in the future, and the capital for you to gain a foothold in this world. How strong your capital is and whether you can stand firm in this world in the future will depend on how much hardship and fatigue you can endure today!" Yan Liqiang's voice echoed in the archery field. His words, which tasted like delicious chicken soup, flowed into the hearts of a group of young people like a trickle, making the young people who rarely had the opportunity to taste this kind of chicken soup feel shocked and feel like listening to the sound of nature. "Don't complain that God is unfair. God has always been fair. The most fair thing about God is four words: God rewards hard work. Your sweat and perseverance will make up for the gap between you and those noble sons of wealthy families..."
Yan Liqiang had just finished speaking when a student on duty from the Kyudo Club and a manager from the Yan family hurried to the edge of the archery range. The student on duty from the Kyudo Club pointed in the direction of Yan Liqiang, and the manager quickly walked towards Yan Liqiang.
When the Yan family's manager came to the Kyudo Club, it usually meant something happened at home. So when Yan Liqiang saw the Yan family's manager coming, his heart skipped a beat, and then he quickly walked through the trainees and went towards the manager.
"Did anything happen at home?"
The steward quickly recounted what happened in Liuhe Town, "The master knows about this matter and specifically asked me to inform you!"
"Oh!" Yan Liqiang thought for a moment, "Do you know who those two people are?"
The steward shook his head and said, "No one has seen those two people. They have very high cultivation levels and their accents don't sound like they are from Ganzhou. No one in the town tried to stop them, so they have already escaped from the town!"
"Are there any casualties among the criminals and villagers in the town?"
"Only a few officers suffered minor injuries, but they are not serious!"
Yan Liqiang breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, you can go back. I understand. Just ask the guards at home to pay more attention in the next two days. I will be careful here!"
"Yes!" The steward forced Yan Li to salute and then left.
"Under that circumstance, those two men did not kill anyone but ran away. So those two men are definitely not characters like Guo Shanfeng. Instead, they should be gangsters with some status and position. Because once they kill someone and are wanted by the government, they will be in big trouble. So generally, gangsters with some status will not kill people easily unless it is absolutely necessary, even if there is a conflict with the officials and the people!" As soon as the steward left, Shi Changfeng came to Yan Liqiang.
"Director Shi also knows about it!"
"I just received news from the students in Liuhe Town, and I was just about to come and inform you! Those two people should be coming for you, but they don't seem to be seeking revenge..."
Yan Liqiang looked at the sky, a smile appeared on his face, and he said nonchalantly, "Since those two people are fine, then I think there is a chance that I can see them again!"
"The Kyudo Club..."
"Those two people should be masters. The students can't stop them, so there's no need to increase the alert. Everything should be normal!"
Shi Changfeng nodded...
…
Late at night, at midnight, in Yan Liqiang's courtyard...
The light in Yan Liqiang's study was on all the time. Yan Liqiang was sitting on a desk in the study, with his head buried, writing something. Suddenly, Yan Liqiang's ears moved, and then he gently put down the pen in his hand, a smile appeared on his face, he stood up, walked out of the study, came to the door of the study, facing the swaying bamboo shadows outside the study, and said to himself, "It's cold outside. Since you two are here, why don't you show up and meet me!"
"You really have some skills!" With a cold snort, a dark shadow moved in the garden outside the study. The two uninvited guests, one tall and one short, who appeared in Liuhe Town during the day had appeared in the garden outside Yan Liqiang's study, looking at Yan Liqiang coldly.
"What are your names?"
"Feitian Sect Zongyi, He Tianhong!" the short man said coldly...
