Chapter 1 The Legendary Summoning
Anyang City.
A small border town under the jurisdiction of Lizhou in the Jiuhua Kingdom.
Jiuhua Kingdom has been plagued by constant warfare over the years, so it vigorously promoted martial arts, resulting in a fierce and unruly populace and numerous martial arts schools.
At the Hunyuan Boxing Gym, a slightly overweight man in martial arts attire loudly proclaimed:
"My name is Wang Dazhu, and I am a martial arts instructor at the gym. I will be in charge of your basic training from now on."
"Watch closely, I'll demonstrate it for you first."
Wang Dazhu stood upright, his head, neck, and cervical spine forming a straight line. He lifted his right foot and took half a step to the right, easily raising both hands to hug his chest, and looking straight ahead into the distance.
The simple movements, when performed by him, seem as if his hands are holding a ball, his head is lifting upwards, his feet are stomping downwards, and his back is pressing against something.
"Alright, do it again in the same way I just did."
After the demonstration, Wang Dazhu picked up a pointer about the thickness of a finger and walked back and forth in the yard, observing whether the apprentices' movements met the standards.
"I haven't eaten. I can't even stand up straight."
"Why are you sticking your butt out so high? Do you want me to shove a stick in there?"
"And you, why are you shaking like that? You've only just started standing and you're already giving up?"
Wang Dazhu seemed somewhat annoyed; the quality of this batch of apprentices was not as good as the previous batch.
"Stand up straight, with the back of your head, neck and spine in a straight line."
"Stand up straight, chest out."
The pointer slammed down on the backside of an apprentice who wasn't standing properly, and sure enough, the apprentice straightened up instantly—a remarkable effect.
"Once you're here, you'd better train hard. Nobody here will care about you. If you don't train properly, you'd be better off being killed by me than being eaten by monsters in the future."
Wang Dazhu slowly walked back and forth in the courtyard, his eyes constantly scanning the area. If he saw anyone whose movements were not up to standard, he would hit them with a stick. The trainees did not dare to make a sound after being hit, but just quickly corrected their movements.
"The saying goes that you must first master the stances for three years before you can learn martial arts. This stance training is the beginning of learning martial arts, and our Hunyuan Boxing School's Hunyuan Stance is one of the most famous stance training methods. You should all feel lucky to be able to start with the Hunyuan Stance."
Not far away, by a pillar, a man dressed in shorts with a kitchen cloth around his waist was imitating the posture. However, this man stood much better than the apprentices in the courtyard, and had already developed a sense of perfect posture.
Before long, fifteen minutes had passed. Wang Dazhu noticed that the apprentices in the courtyard were sweating profusely, and most of them were trembling slightly. He grinned slyly and said:
"Do you feel dizzy, like you're seasick and want to vomit, and your whole body feels like it's being pricked with needles?"
"Yes, Master Wang."
"Master
