Chapter 88: Chapter 88 Sheila’s Reward
After listening to Zhao Zhengxi’s words, Hua Tianming also didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
“To be honest, when he said he wanted to minor in Sideways Training Martial Arts a while ago, I advised him to concentrate on one direction, believing that being a jack of all trades but master of none is pointless, but I couldn’t dissuade him. Since he’s come to you to learn about Sideways Training Martial Arts, there’s no use telling me about it; I can’t talk him out of it.”
“Wait, when you say ‘a while ago,’ how many years are you referring to?”
Zhao Zhengxi immediately caught the importance in Hua Tianming’s words.
“What do you mean how many years ago?”
Hua Tianming said with a smile:
“It’s been less than a month.”
“Less than a month? Are you saying that it was less than a month ago when he started talking about practicing Sideways Training Martial Arts?”
“Yeah, when he started coming to my martial arts gym, he even sparred with a few of the coaches and ended up with bruises on his arms. That’s when he began harboring the idea of learning Sideways Training Martial Arts.”
Zhao Zhengxi suddenly understood why Hua Tianming was feeling the way he did just now.
Hua Tianming thought it was outrageous for Li Ang, who had only been away for a few days, to reach the level of mastery he had achieved at forty in Tongbei Fist.
And he himself found it just as preposterous that Li Ang, who had been studying Sideways Training Martial Arts for less than a month, had reached the level he had achieved years ago.
The two remained silent for a long while, no longer raising the issue of advising Li Ang to focus on a single martial art. Some people simply cannot be measured by common standards.
In the following two days, Li Ang gave Sheila at least two full-body massages each day. Two days before the competition began, his Sports Massage finally reached master level.
Sports Massage 8/1000 (Master)
(Trait: Within 12 hours after the massage, physical recovery ability is enhanced by 40%)
(Trait: Within 12 hours after the massage, spirit recovery ability is enhanced by 10%)
After giving himself a massage before bed and applying the state boost, Li Ang could almost see with the naked eye that his recovery ability had gone up a notch.
Even mentally, he was extremely comfortable. He had always found massages to be a treat, but he never knew they could be this comforting.
The next morning, Li Ang got up and felt that his body had fully returned to normal.
In the bathroom, Li Ang unwrapped the bandage from the worst injured area on his body to check it and found that the wound, which had been two centimeters deep, had completely closed up. Only some scabbing was left, which barely affected his movement anymore.
It was foreseeable that by the start of the show, these wounds might only leave behind some light scars.
Now that he could move normally, Li Ang finally resumed his training plan.
He could postpone Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training, which was damaging to his body, for a bit, but Tongbei Fist and Yijin Jing were no problem at all.
When Sheila came home and saw Li Ang practicing Yijin Jing, she was so surprised that she dropped the vegetables she was holding onto the floor.
“Dear, it’s best not to do such activities until your body has fully recovered; it could affect the healing of your wounds.”
Li Ang smiled and reassured her:
“You don’t need to worry about me; I reckon I have already recovered at least 80%. As long as I don’t exert myself too much, performing some ordinary movements is still no problem.”
After he spoke, to prove his point, he demonstrated a set of continuous moves from Tongbei Fist for Sheila.
“Whack! Whack! Whack!”
Between each punch and stance, his movements were fluid like flowing clouds, and each action caused his clothes to make crisp sounds. Without saying, one would never be able to tell that just a few days ago, Li Ang was lying unconscious in a hospital bed.
Although Sheila still felt somewhat worried, she was certain to respect Li Ang’s thoughts and wouldn’t control what he did under the guise of having his best interests at heart.
Putting her things down, Sheila turned on the television, intending to rest for a bit.
“Wait, could you switch back to the previous program?”
Li Ang, who hadn’t been paying attention to the TV, seemed to notice something.
“Of course,” he said.
The previous show, which happened to be the variety show [Titan Game] that Li Ang was about to participate in.
At that moment, they were engaged in a contest where two strong men stood on a crescent-shaped platform, each pushing against a door. They were exerting all their strength to push the door towards the other side, and whoever couldn’t hold on would fall off the platform.
“It looks pretty good. Compared to a slapping contest, this has its charms too. Are you interested in this?” Sheila asked as she leaned onto Li Ang’s arm.
Li Ang gave a positive reply:
“Of course, I’m not only interested, but I am also going to participate.”
Sheila flashed an approving smile, “If you join, I’ll definitely come to the scene to cheer you on.”
“Then it’s a deal,” said Li Ang with a smile as he continued to watch the show, familiarizing himself with the events that would come up so he would be mentally prepared.
Soon, the competition segment ended, and the program cut to commercial break.
Naturally, the show also started to preview the next episode.
“Wait, the person on TV, is that you?”
Sheila opened her mouth in surprise, “The show starts in just two days and you’re still not fully healed from your injuries. Can you really do it?”
Although her tone was full of disbelief, Li Ang knew it stemmed from concern.
“An’an, my body might not have fully recovered yet, but by the time the show starts, it will definitely be back to normal. I wouldn’t joke with my health,” Li Ang reassured her with deliberate confidence to put her at ease.
Sheila suddenly thought of something and whispered close to Li Ang:
“How are you going to prove that your body has recovered?”
Li Ang was a bit confused, “Hmm… I think the martial arts I just practiced should prove it.”
“Is that so? But I think that’s not enough. You’ll have to pass my test,” Sheila said with a mischievous smile, blowing a hot breath into Li Ang’s ear.
Sheila was dressed in a figure-hugging dark green dress today, accessorized with a platinum necklace on top and glossy black stockings on the bottom, and black satin pointed high heels.
“Thump! Thump! Thump!”
She stood up, walked to the bedroom door, leaned against it and crooked her finger at Li Ang:
“Since you say you have recovered, then it seems I can no longer delay the reward I promised you.”
All of a sudden, Li Ang felt his breath catch, suspecting he was in for a tough time today.
After following her into the room, Sheila closed the bedroom curtains and switched on the light.
She then took out a yoga mat and asked Li Ang to lie down on it.
Sheila kneeled in front of him and said softly:
“I’ve taught you massage techniques for every part of the body, but there’s one area I haven’t taught you.”
As she spoke, Sheila placed the massage oil next to her.
Then she glanced at Li Ang’s lower body and said with a smile brimming with spring:
“Do you want to undress yourself, or shall I help you?”
