"That's all for today's live stream. Please follow me. I will post an announcement before the next live stream. Thank you."
At 5 PM, Xiao Ning said some polite words and then ended her first live stream.
Then, he let out a long sigh of relief.
The three-hour live stream felt more tiring to Xiao Ning than a fight.
……………
After the broadcast ended, Xiao Ning called Xiao Bing to help clean up the scene.
Just then, Xiao Yousheng walked over slowly with his hands behind his back, asking with a gossipy look, "Ning Yazi, when you performed the 'crushing iron into mud' act just now, did you use a real hammer or a prop?"
Xiao Ning's first live stream was naturally highly anticipated by the whole family. Xiao Qiang turned on the 100-inch TV in the living room and projected her phone screen onto it. Then, the three of them watched Xiao Ning's live stream in the living room.
During the live stream, Xiao Ning crushed the hammerhead into iron mud with his bare hands, which was witnessed by all three of them. Xiao Yousheng was shocked at the time, but Xiao Qiang believed that it was just a prop and not a real hammer at all.
Therefore, as soon as the live broadcast ended, Xiao Yousheng found Xiao Ning and wanted to know if the hammer he used was a real iron hammer.
"Ha ha!"
Xiao Ning laughed heartily, handed the iron hammer head on the stone table to Xiao Yousheng, and explained, "Of course it's a real iron hammer, Grandpa. I'm now a genuine martial arts grandmaster. Lifting a thousand catties is nothing to me. Walking on water up to my knees and scaling walls are also a piece of cake!"
Xiao Yousheng weighed the heavy iron block in his hand, his face turning serious as he abruptly asked, "Xiao Ning, who did you learn your kung fu from?"
Xiao Ning paused for a moment, but continued packing up the live streaming equipment without stopping. He replied with a smile, "Sir, didn't I study martial arts at a martial arts school for four years? That's where I learned it!"
Xiao Yousheng didn't believe it at all. He stared at Xiao Yousheng with wide eyes, but his short body stood up straight.
"Do you think this old man is stupid? How could this old man not know what kind of place Tagou Martial Arts School is? They might be able to teach you some fancy moves, but how could they teach you real martial arts?"
The old man immediately saw through Xiao Ning's lie.
Then, he seemed to relax and sighed, "Never mind, Grandpa is too old to take care of you anymore!"
"However, the old man has a piece of advice. Whether you listen to it or not is up to you, but I'm definitely going to say it!"
Xiao Ning quickly put down what he was holding and solemnly replied, "Grandpa, please speak!"
Xiao Yousheng said, word by word, "As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility!"
"I'm not forcing you to do good for anyone, but you must never use your skills to commit evil or poison the world!"
"Otherwise, the old man won't be able to rest in peace even after he dies."
Did you hear me clearly?
Xiao Yousheng shouted it out with almost all his might.
Xiao Ning put away his playful smile, became serious, and nodded heavily, replying, "Grandpa, I heard you, and I promise I will do as you say!"
In my heart, I was thinking, I will definitely behave myself in the real world, and I will not offend others unless they offend me, but in the dungeon world, no one can control me!
Hearing his assurance, Xiao Yousheng's expression relaxed, and he said, "Just remember that. Although my Xiao family has never been extremely wealthy or powerful in the past few hundred years, we have never had any traitors or rebels. I don't want you to set a precedent in history!"
Xiao Ning's expression froze for a moment, and he said, "Grandpa, you think too highly of me. My skills are at most amateurish. I don't deserve to be called a traitor!"
Xiao Yousheng's eyes widened, and he said in a deep voice, "Isn't that how it's always portrayed in plays? Those charlatans who perform well are then noticed by high-ranking officials and brought into the government, thus beginning their reign of terror. You haven't even reached the point of making your fortune yet!"
"this……"
Xiao Ning was both amused and exasperated. This was completely nonsensical, so she had no choice but to patiently explain it to him.
Then, Xiao Ning changed the subject, lest the old man get bored and fall ill: "Grandpa, do you want to practice martial arts?"
"Practicing martial arts? My old arms and legs are too tired for that!"
Sure enough, Xiao Yousheng's attention immediately shifted to martial arts practice, and he shook his head sharply in refusal.
Xiao Ning smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'll teach you a set of health-preserving exercises similar to Tai Chi. It's balanced and gentle, and it's very effective for improving blood circulation and flexibility in the elderly. Plus, it's not difficult to learn; it's very simple!"
"If you persevere and practice several times every day, I guarantee you'll still be as spry as a feather and free from all illnesses when you're a hundred! So, not only you should practice, but Grandma should practice too!"
Xiao Ning had this idea long ago.
When he first entered the world of Yitian, he thought, how wonderful it would be if he could create such a balanced and peaceful boxing style, so that the elderly could strengthen their bodies, avoid all diseases, and prolong their lives after practicing it!
He discussed this idea with Zhang Sanfeng many times and learned a lot from his experience.
Later, in the Battle Through the Heavens world, after his own cultivation level had increased, Xiao Ning looked back and realized that creating such a basic fist technique was actually a piece of cake.
Moreover, Xiao Ning created a series of martial arts, starting from the Foundation Establishment stage, progressing to the Martial Arts Realm, and finally breaking through to the Innate True Person Realm.
The difficulty of this martial art lies not in how to break through to the realm of a true master, but in its universality.
Xiao Ning had considered spreading the Way of Martial Arts throughout the world.
Of course, it's not some kind of offensive martial art like fist or palm techniques.
His purpose in passing on the martial arts was simply to do his bit to leave a spark of this martial art on the land of China.
After all, modern people's bodies are too weak, and they can't withstand the slightest disturbance. Even a small flu virus can infect tens of thousands of people.
In old age, the situation worsens, with bodily functions atrophying, blood and qi declining, and diseases such as dementia, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes following one after another.
While passing down techniques for strengthening the body may not reverse this phenomenon, it at least gives the general public another option.
