Under the calm gaze of the Third Master, Aniu successfully lifted the table.
"Not bad, he has quite a bit of strength."
After a while, the Third Master glanced at Aniu sideways. Although he had a skinny body and didn't look very fleshy, his muscles bulged when he exerted force, and he did look quite fleshy.
He nodded slightly, thinking that it was a good candidate.
Aniu didn't listen to the Third Master's exaggerated words. The weight of the table and other items was far beyond his expectation.
In less than half a minute, he felt the basic muscles in his elbows and arms begin to tremble slightly.
Sweat was pouring down his forehead, neck, chest, abdomen, and palms.
My breathing has become a little disordered.
But even so, Aniu still gritted his teeth and persisted, his facial muscles becoming more and more ferocious.
"Adjust your breathing, exhale deeply, and exhale slowly!"
At this moment, the Third Master suddenly spoke up to give some advice, and took out a bamboo stick, and violently hit Aniu's hands, feet, waist and abdomen.
Incredibly, the numbness in the parts that were hit suddenly lessened a lot.
Just like that, a moment passed, and with a click, Aniu put the table aside.
Whoosh, whoosh.
He gasped for breath.
"Thank you, Third Master for your advice."
"Humph, you have some roots."
The Third Master walked over and slapped Ah Niu on various parts of his body.
Every time he was hit, Ah Niu would cry out in pain and feel irritable and restless.
He was wondering why the Third Master still treated him like this even though he had passed the test?
Before, it felt very comfortable to be patted when lifting the table, but now it feels extremely uncomfortable when being patted?
"Bear with it! You're quite talented, so take a good look at the changes in your body!"
Hearing this, Ah Niu had no choice but to grit his teeth and hold his breath again, close his eyes, and raise his neck horizontally as if waiting to be killed.
"It's not about holding it in, it's about enduring the pain and feeling the changes in your body!"
The Third Master slapped Ah Niu again, causing him to feel a pain in the head.
Only then did he finally get the energy to feel it properly.
Then, he discovered some subtle points.
The pain is still there, but after the pain, my muscles seem to grow slightly.
What exactly is going on with this wonderful feeling?
After a while, the beating by the Third Master ended.
He also looked tired and breathed slightly, his face was bright red as blood, and his huge body sat directly on the ground, breathing heavily.
However, he recovered his breath very quickly, and his complexion returned to normal in a moment. He spoke:
"This is the practice of the horizontal iron shirt. It requires a very special physique to develop strength under these blows, and you clearly possess this talent. Our Chen family hasn't had a physique like yours in two generations."
Ah Niu is confused and ignorant.
Seeing this, the Third Master patiently explained:
"You've heard of martial arts, right? They say it can make one cross a river on a reed, scale walls and climb cliffs, have bones as strong as steel, be invulnerable to swords and spears, and possess immense strength!"
"But in reality, except for a small number of horizontal training techniques, most of them are fake."
"And today, you have the honor of seeing the real thing. Are you happy?"
Ah Niu still didn't quite understand, but he could sense the intimacy in the previously indifferent Third Master. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"Then can Third Master recommend me to Zhou's?"
"What a bullshit recommendation! It's so rare for our Chen family to have a talented descendant, and yet you're sending him off to be a slave. I, your Third Master, will be stabbed in the back! From today on, you will learn how to butcher pigs and practice iron shirts with me. Do you understand?" (End of this chapter)
