He was referring to his great-uncle, Xiao Zhongsheng. Xiao Ning had heard of him; he was in poor health and seemed to have suffered a minor stroke, spending eight out of the twelve months of the year in bed.
Xiao Ning sighed, patted his shoulder, and didn't say anything more.
Foundation Building Boxing can only improve physical fitness; it cannot cure all diseases.
The boy was very filial, and Xiao Ning couldn't bear to tell him that even if his great-uncle learned this set of boxing techniques, his stroke would not be cured.
Subsequently, Xiao Ning performed the ritual according to the law, passing on the "Xiao Family Martial Arts Manual" to his grandmother and cousin Xiao Qiang through the initiation method.
He then passed on the thirty-six forms of the Foundation Building chapter to Xiao Bing.
…
It was Saturday, no workday.
It wasn't until after 11 o'clock that Zhou Xingxing woke up from his sleepy state in bed.
I stayed up until 3 a.m. last night cultivating immortality, and only fell asleep when I couldn't stay awake any longer.
"I can't go on like this, or I might suddenly die!"
He muttered something, put on his clothes, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Afterwards, I ordered takeout on my phone and started scrolling through Douyin (TikTok) to pass the time.
"Huh, hasn't that 'Ordinary' guy updated yet?"
Zhou Xingxing muttered something to himself and continued scrolling, not taking it to heart, after all, the streamer wasn't a great beauty.
Time flies when you're scrolling through Douyin (TikTok), and by the time he looked up, it was already 2 p.m.
Just then, a message popped up on Douyin: The seemingly ordinary Xiao Zhenren you follow has started a live stream, go and watch!
"Tsk tsk, no wonder there haven't been any updates, they've actually started streaming..."
Stephen Chow chuckled and clicked on the link.
"Welcome everyone to my live stream! I'm the streamer, the unremarkable Xiao Zhenren!"
On the screen, the boy was displayed, but Zhou Xingxing keenly noticed that there seemed to be something unusual in the background.
The two videos this streamer posted before were both set in the countryside, but this time, they look different.
Of course, these thoughts only flashed through Zhou Xingxing's mind and he didn't pay them any mind. He continued watching the live stream.
Then, Xiao Ning boasted for a while, leaving Zhou Xingxing stunned and feeling a sense of awe and wonder.
"Holy crap... holy crap... is this something a human could do?"
When he saw the strength in his arms, Stephen Chow got excited.
In the past, Stephen Chow had watched boxing matches before, but the boxers were all big, muscular men who didn't fit his aesthetic.
Moreover, he had learned that these boxers, despite their apparent strength, actually needed to take protein powder daily to build muscle and maintain their physique.
When they get old, they will be plagued by illnesses.
These people traded their health for a moment of glory, so Stephen Chow naturally wouldn't envy them.
Right now, this seemingly ordinary and not particularly robust streamer has deeply shocked him.
The muscles in those arms... that immense power...
Zhou Xingxing felt that if the streamer punched him, he would probably vomit blood and collapse.
"That's incredible! This is what Chinese martial arts should be like!"
Stephen Chow was extremely excited.
Then, the young anchor squeezed the iron hammer head into iron mud, which brought Stephen Chow to a climax.
He shakily tapped the gift button on his phone, selected a gift, topped up his account, and sent the gift.
"I'm so handsome" gifted the streamer 10 hot air balloons. "I rarely give gifts, but your martial arts skills have impressed me!"
Hot air balloons cost 52 yuan each, and Stephen Chow gave away ten of them without even blinking.
"I want to become an apprentice, I want to practice martial arts, I want to learn the supreme martial arts!"
Zhou Xingxing's mind was in turmoil, but his eyes were fixed on the phone screen.
Afterwards, the host stopped demonstrating his strength and started answering questions from the audience. Although Zhou Xingxing was a little disappointed, he could understand.
Having watched live broadcasts for so many years, Stephen Chow knows all the tricks of the trade.
After all, if the streamer reveals all the selling points at once, there will be nothing left to reveal later. Only by releasing a little bit at a time, like a steady stream, can the stream be sustained in the long run.
"Huh, the streamer said he'd upload another video later, could it be...?"
The young anchor casually mentioned something, and Zhou Xingxing immediately remembered it.
I waited and waited, until 5 PM, when the young streamer finally went offline.
"Upload faster...upload faster..."
As Zhou Xingxing refreshed the streamer's video page, he kept muttering to himself.
Finally, half an hour passed, and at 5:30 PM, he refreshed the page, and a new video appeared.
