This doubt actually happened a long time ago, but I didn't dare to say it out. I couldn't help it this day. While having lunch, I looked at Uncle Gu with a smile on my face, and then plucked up the courage to ask, "Uncle Gu, how are I practicing my basic skills now?" "It's already very good. Although you have only practiced for three years, you are much better than me back then. I can't walk with such thin wooden stakes at your age."

Uncle Gu praised me a few words, which made me feel flattered and more courageous. So he said directly, "Uncle Gu, since I have mastered my basic skills, can you start teaching me real martial arts?" "Real martial arts? What you are learning now is real martial arts." Uncle Gu looked at me in confusion, "It's just that kind of very complex and powerful move." I quickly explained. Uncle Gu finally understood what I mean, and then showed a signature smile. "How complicated and powerful is it?"

This time I asked, and I remembered some fighting scenes in film and television dramas and anime. Especially when the fight ends, the protagonist always lies on the ground with serious injuries, while the enemy still stands intact, and at the same time, he will say some vicious words that stimulate the protagonist.

At this time, the protagonist will think of his relatives and immediately feel full of strength. So he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with force, stood up from the ground with a "swish" and used a dazzling trick. The preparation time for this move takes at least 10 or 20 seconds, and then a fatal blow will kill the enemy.

I have watched a lot of such films, TV series and anime before. I really want to tell a few of them famous tricks, but in a hurry, I can't remember any of them. I guess it's useless even if I think about it. Uncle Gu must have never heard of it, so I had to use my hands and feet to make random gestures. Maybe my appearance is too funny, and Uncle Gu and the old man laughed at the same time.

After laughing, Uncle Gu's expression became extremely serious, which made me a little at a loss for a moment. After staring at me for a few seconds, Uncle Gu suddenly asked, "Xiao Zheng, have you ever fought before?" "Hit" I answered honestly, "Then when you fight, will you - well, this - this - this - this - this?" Uncle Gu didn't know what to say, so he had to gesture like I was just now, and he looked a little funny.

I hurriedly held back my smile and said, "No, if I do that, I will be knocked down by someone without waiting for the second gesture." "Then do you think this move is useful?" "It's useless" I shook my head, but I still felt a little unwilling to give up, so I immediately added, "Uncle Gu, then teach me the whole set of boxing or swordsmanship, preferably a set of dozens or hundreds of moves, anyway, the more moves, the better."

After hearing this, Uncle Gu looked at me angrily, "Xiao Zheng, it seems that you still don't understand what I said just now. Since fancy moves are useless, is the whole set of moves useful? When you face the enemy, do you think the other party will cooperate with you to complete a set of dozens of boxing or hundreds of sword techniques? You must understand that all routines are of no use in real battles. All you have to do is to be fast, accurate and adapt to changes.

What do you think you were asked to walk on the stub in the past few years? On the one hand, it is to master the steps of advancing and retreating. On the other hand, the actions you did when walking on the stub are to allow you to attack and defend with the steps under your feet. These are the valuable experiences exchanged by countless seniors with their blood, and they are the essence of real money that is hard to find. Do you understand?!" "Well, I understand." I nodded quickly, but there was still a trace of confusion in my eyes.

My confusion did not escape Uncle Gu's eyes. "If you have any questions, just ask, don't keep it in your heart." Uncle Gu said to me, "Uncle Gu, I can understand what you said just now, accurate and adaptable, but should I add a 'ruthless'?" I carefully expressed my doubts.

"It is understandable for young people to have this idea, but you have to remember that practicing martial arts is not for killing people, so you must control your own strength when you take action. When it should be light, you can only be heavy when it should be heavy. Human strength is limited. If you just kill and slash, your strength will be exhausted soon. So you must use it reasonably and let you use a kitchen knife to cut wooden stakes, not only to exercise your strength, but also to let you learn to control your strength. Only by using a stable and moderate force, can the shavings cut down be thin and even."

I finally understood Uncle Gu’s painstaking efforts. It turned out that every request he had for me was profound, so I nodded quickly.

Uncle Gu continued, "Actually, it's a bit early to tell you to control your power, because you can't feel the existence of power at all." "I can feel the existence of power." I raised my fist and shook it hard as I said, "Look, this is my power."

Uncle Gu laughed at my actions, and then continued, "Do you still remember the breathing method I taught you? In fact, this is the core of the Gu family's martial arts. This martial art can not only enhance strength, but also allow you to truly feel the existence of strength, and can instantly mobilize the power to any part of your body and then explode."

I believe Uncle Gu would not lie to me, but I didn’t expect that this breathing method would be so powerful, so I made up my mind to use this method to breathe in the future even when I sleep, eat, or go to the bathroom.

After eliminating the doubts in my heart, I became more diligent and hardworking during training. Half a year passed in a flash, and the various movements I had during training were becoming more and more perfect. The goal of using breathing to feel the strength was still not achieved.

I originally thought that such a life would last for a long time, but in recent days I have felt that something is getting worse and worse.

Uncle Gu, who has always been rational, has become very irritable recently. He will lose his temper for a small matter. Sometimes he will suddenly get angry even without any reason. Moreover, the target of his temper is not only me, but also the old man and Comber, which was absolutely unimaginable in the past.

At this time, Kang Bo always apologized to Uncle Gu with a smile on his face, and the same was true for the old man who had always refused to suffer losses. This made me even more strange. After observing carefully in secret, I was surprised to find that every time Uncle Gu got angry with the old man, the old man was indeed not angry at all, even the kind of anger that had no reason, but there was a hint of anxiety between his eyebrows. I once tentatively asked the old man several times, what was wrong with Uncle Gu, but the answers I received were only one sentence, "Practice your skills well, don't think too much."

Although the old man said it very easily, how could I not think about it? After all, Uncle Gu didn't lose his temper with the old man and Kang Bo, and most of his firepower was concentrated on me, especially when practicing.

Originally, because I performed better and better in my practice, the number of stones I was hit has decreased significantly. Sometimes I didn’t get it for several days. However, in recent times, the number of stones I got suddenly increased, even more than at the beginning. And I was hit almost every time, and I didn’t know where I was wrong after being beaten.

What I couldn't stand the most was that Uncle Gu was getting heavier and heavier. Although I had the ability to avoid stones now, the habit I developed in recent years made me dare not hide. I could only keep my practice posture and wait for the beating. The only thing I could do was to instantly determine the landing point of the stone on my body, and then tighten the muscles there to resist.

Fortunately, my body has changed drastically compared to three years ago. If I had encountered such a blow when I first came to the island, I would probably have made a bloody hole in my body. I am afraid that it would be possible to make me a fishing net in a few days.

However, even if I am so strong now, my whole body will tremble when the stone hits my body. I have to take several breaths to regulate my breathing. The last time Uncle Gu's strength was too great. He hit me directly on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

At first, Uncle Gu still yelled and asked me to stand up as usual. Later, I found something was wrong, so I hurried over to rub the meridians for me. "Uncle Gu, I'm fine." I turned my head and said with difficulty. Although the pain was so painful that my whole body was trembling and my breathing was not smooth. I felt that I couldn't get out of my breath. My chest was stuffy and my head was a little drowsy. I wanted to fall asleep, but I still tried hard to squeeze out a little smile.

In an instant, I seemed to see crystal tears flashing in Uncle Gu's eyes. This may be an illusion. Uncle Gu in my mind is a great hero who can only shed blood and not shed tears. Although I am beaten every day, I don't have any resentment in my heart, just a little strange.

Uncle Gu had a first aid for a while, and my tone finally calmed down. Then Uncle Gu helped me back to the house and let me lie on the bed to rest. I took the opportunity to sleep well for an afternoon, and it was not until dinner that Kang Bo called me up. This was the first time I had been resting for half a day since I practiced, which was a blessing in disguise.

During dinner, because I was afraid of accidentally angering Uncle Gu, I didn’t talk to anyone with the old man and Kang Bo. This has been like this all these days. The atmosphere of eating is very dull, but today’s situation is a bit different. Uncle Gu seems to be in a good mood and says a lot at the dinner table, mainly talking about his experiences over the years.

After listening for a while, I realized that Uncle Gu and the old man seemed to have been to many dangerous places over the years. A lot of question marks rose in my heart. I didn’t understand what these two people wanted to do, whether they were trying to excite or seek death.
