001 The Art of Buying People's Hearts
At 13:50 on July 2, 2081, the most prosperous city in Xia, 'Binhai City', at this time, dark clouds were thick, thunder was roaring, and a rainstorm was coming.
"Summer thundershowers, come as you say. In a room on the top floor of the Starry Sky Fighting Gym, a young man was looking through a floor-to-ceiling window at the dark clouds and lightning outside, and "crackling" raindrops began to crash on the window glass.
The young man walked to the center of the room, put his hands on the floor, and performed a handstand very slowly and steadily. At first, the hands were upright, then one hand was retracted, and it became a one-handed handstand with the right hand.
"Exhale~~~Suck~~~"
The sound of breathing sounded in his ears, and Xu Jingming felt the tightening of the core muscles of his body, and also felt the stimulation of his right arm by the weight of his whole body.
The arm was very comfortable in the first three minutes, and the muscles and muscles of the arm were deeply stimulated, but in the fourth minute, the palm muscles were a little throbbing and painful, and the fifth minute was even more painful, but Xu Jingming had long been used to it, and after holding on for five minutes, he naturally changed to a left-handed one-handed handstand.
"Dad's waist, I don't know if it's better today. When he was doing a handstand, Xu Jingming's thoughts were also drifting, and he thought of his father. My father is 60 this year, and his back injury is an old problem, and yesterday I heard my mother on the phone that my father had a back injury when he was carrying heavy objects......
"When I'm done with this lately, I'll go back to my hometown. Xu Jingming thought.
A one-handed handstand is not a training method taught by the national team, but by my father when I was a child.
Xu Jingming was not in good health when he was a child, and his father taught him martial arts to strengthen his body, including "one-arm handstand". Because the long-term practice effect is very good, it has also become one of the five major piles of gong he practices every day, practicing Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer, and has been practicing for 20 years. As the saying goes, 'if you don't practice boxing, you will be empty when you get old', and this so-called gong is the basic skill of daily life.
If there is a three-to-five-day interruption, the muscles, muscles and other aspects will decline.
After practicing the one-armed handstand, Xu Jingming walked to the desk and sat down, drank a few sips of water, and looked at the torrential rain outside the window.
"As soon as the humidity became heavy, my leg started to hurt. Xu Jingming looked at his right leg, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed it, "The daily rehabilitation exercise has never stopped, but my right leg ...... It couldn't be better. ”
"If my right leg hadn't hurt, I would have been able to hit the world No. 1. Xu Jingming said silently.
Injuries are the most feared thing every martial arts master will encounter in his career. The injury of "broken leg" is a nightmare for Xu Jingming.
"Dididi......" suddenly sounded.
Xu Jingming raised his head and said, "Xiaobai, answer the video call." ”
There is light condensed in front of Xu Jingming, converging into a two-meter-high picture, in which a burly fat man is sitting in the car, shouting with a smile: "Old Xu, we have set off from the hotel, and it is estimated that we will arrive at your Star Fighting Hall in about 20 minutes." Haha, we haven't seen each other in over a year, so we need a drink tonight. ”
"Don't worry, Big Bear, I've already booked a barbecue restaurant. Xu Jingming saw his friend from his youth, and said with a smile, "It's raining quite heavily, you should be careful on the road." ”
"Rest assured. The burly big fat man continued, "The group of boys in the provincial training team admire you very much, and they want to see your marksmanship, so you have to give them good guidance later, so that they can understand the gap between them and the world's top masters." ”
"Now young people are getting better from generation to generation, and it's good if I don't capsize. Xu Jingming said with a smile.
"How can the boat capsize? I hope you can capsize, you capsize, which means that our provincial team has another genius. The big fat man laughed, "Okay, let's stop chatting, we'll see you later." ”
"I'll see you later. Xu Jingming stretched out his hand, and the picture in mid-air dispersed.
The training for the Jiangnan Provincial Training Team lasted for ten days, and the fee was 50,000 Blue Star Coins, which was actually not enough for the venue fee. But for the martial arts gym, being able to do training for the provincial training team is also an advertising signboard, and it can also attract more martial arts enthusiasts to come to the martial arts gym to become members.
"When a professional player retires, he has to make money. Xu Jingming got up and went to take a shower and change clothes.
Martial arts professionals sound glamorous, but in fact, they earn some 'appearance fees' at their peak, and those who earn more than 100 million yuan in their careers are pitifully few in the world, and most professional fighters are just a little food.
As for retirement, it is even more difficult to make money. Although Xu Jingming is also a world-class martial arts master, he is only the top eight in the World Martial Arts Championships. The income of the martial arts world is pyramid-shaped, and there are very few people at the top of the tower! The income of the first place is exaggerated, and the second, third, and fourth ...... will plummet.
Xu Jingming stood at the door of the Starry Sky Fighting Gym and waited, accompanied by several staff members, and saw an electric bus coming from a distance in the rain.
When the electric bus stopped, the door opened, and more than ten people from the Jiangnan Provincial Training Team got off one after another.
"Big Bear. Xu Jingming saw at a glance the burly fat man who got out of the car first, it was his good brother Liu Chongyuan.
"Lao Xu. Liu Chongyuan came over and hugged Xu Jingming excitedly, and slapped Xu Jingming on the back, Xu Jingming had a bitter face, and it could only be regarded as a massage.
Liu Chongyuan, who is two meters and three meters tall and weighs more than 180 kilograms, looks like an upright bear. At that time, he was also a professional-level martial arts master, with a shield in one hand and an axe in the other, and when the World Martial Arts Federation had the highest points ranking, he also reached 39th, so he could sit firmly in the Provincial Sports Bureau.
"This is Coach Xu. Liu Chongyuan grinned and said, "Coach Xu who you have been thinking about for a long time!"
"Xu Jingming!"
"Gun Demon Xu Jingming!"
"I saw a real person!" The members of the provincial team were a little excited, as industry insiders, they naturally admired this senior.
Xu Jingming looked at these team members, as if he saw himself back then.
Young and full of energy!
How can he be like himself, he broke through in the martial arts competition, and he had to retire with an injury.
Xu Jingming smiled: "Ah Chen, take them to choose weapons." ”
"Yes, Brother Xu. The young staff responded.
"Big Bear, let's go to the third floor and wait for them first. "Xu Jingming and Liu Chongyuan, a pair of good brothers, happily went to the third floor first.
......
The weapons room of the Starry Sky Fighting Hall is 500 square meters, and the number of cold weapons such as knives, guns, swords, sticks, shields, axes, hammers, and chain flails is amazing. Like spears, these competition guns have data on the barrels: length, size, head diameter, weight, and there are hundreds of long guns, lined up against the wall.
"It is worthy of the Starry Sky Fighting Gym, a first-class fighting gym in Binhai City, with enough weapons. "The eleven members of the provincial training team all use spears, so they participated in Xu Jingming's training.
In terms of marksmanship alone, among all professional martial arts masters in history, Xu Jingming is recognized as the top ten.
The spear data of the competition was clear, and the eleven team members quickly selected their usual weapons.
"The first time I saw Xu Jingming in reality, it looked ordinary, and there was no deterrence in the video. A tall man tried his spear and said.
"I feel a lot thinner than in the video. Another young boy said.
"It's thin. A stout man nodded, "When he didn't retire, I watched him compete a few times on the spot, and according to the public information of the Martial Arts Federation, he was one meter seven or eight tall and weighed ninety-three kilograms." Now I have lost a lot of weight, estimated at a maximum of eighty-five kilograms. ”
The provincial team members discussed.
They all know very well that a height of one meter seven or eight and a weight of more than eighty kilograms may be slightly fat for ordinary people. But for professional martial arts masters, the muscles and bones are heavy, and the muscle ratio is high, but they are slightly thinner.
"When the weight goes down, the strength definitely goes down. ”
"I don't know how much strength there is. ”
"Some professional players give up training after retiring, their bodies are deformed, and their strength is much worse. ”
The team members were talking.
"I also want to see how much difference there is between myself and the World Martial Arts Championships, who thinks that he is a little lighter, and I don't know how many points of strength are left. "The strong man is a little unwilling, he was also selected for a national training team last year, and the goal is also the highest event in the martial arts world - the World Martial Arts Championships, originally for Xu Jingming, who has twice entered the World Martial Arts Championships, there are expectations, but now he is a little disappointed.
has lost weight, how much strength does Xu Jingming have left? Is there still the domineering and strong power of the 'Gun Demon' back then?
"Even if the strength has declined, the experience is still there. The tall man beside him smiled, "It's enough to guide us." ”
"Maybe they won't fight us. The immature teenager muttered, they have seen a lot of coaches of the older generation of coaches to teach and guide, but there are very few who can go down to fight with them.
On the third floor of the Starry Sky Fighting Arena, there is a martial arts ring that meets the specifications of international martial arts competitions, the ring is 20 meters long and 20 meters wide, and is surrounded by a six-meter-high barbed wire.
The members of the provincial training team walked into the third floor and saw Coach Liu and Xu Jingming standing there.
"Get in line. Xu Jingming is very familiar with it, he was also a member of the provincial team of Jiangnan Province back then, and was later selected as the main player of the national team.
These eleven team members are all armed with spears, lined up in a line, and the rules are in order.
Maybe Xu Jingming's strength has been greatly reduced after retiring, but the other party's past achievements still make these players admire and convinc, and they are naturally very obedient.
"From today onwards, I will be your coach, and the training camp will be ten days in total, except for today's training time is in the afternoon, and tomorrow will start from 9 am to 11 am. Xu Jingming's gaze swept over them, "I don't want anyone to arrive late and leave early." ”
"Yes. Eleven members of the team responded in unison.
"Okay, let's meet for the first time, let's try our hands first, let me see your strength. Xu Jingming said, "I also teach students according to their aptitude." ”
"Let's try your hand in the next game?" the team members looked at each other, surprised and delighted.
"Actual combat in the ring?"
"Does Xu Jingming have the courage to fight?" These team members couldn't hide their joy, since Xu Jingming dared to do this, it means that after retiring, he still maintains most of his strength at his peak.
