Chapter 9: The Four Who Persevered
Draco was a little disappointed when he heard this, he didn't expect that it would be so difficult to learn this so-called martial art, for him, maybe only the kind of thing he had just done would be useful.
Li Qingzhu saw Draco's disappointment, and there were also a few students who lost interest in an instant, and they were all defeated by this long study time.
However, to Li Qingzhu's relief, Harry and the three of them did not flinch, whether they were out of the protection of their friends or whether they really dared to be interested, Li Qingzhu was very happy.
"Okay, that's it for the introduction of the martial arts class, and now we're going to start the official class."
After Li Qingzhu finished speaking, he re-attracted the attention of these students, and they all wanted to know how to take this course.
"The martial arts class is a little different from other classes, my class is a combination of theory and practice, first of all, we need to understand what martial arts are."
Li Qingzhu concisely translated the concept of traditional Chinese martial arts to these students with his own understanding and popularization, so that they could roughly understand what the so-called martial arts are.
After half an hour of hard work, the children finally understood that Chinese martial arts are actually a combination of philosophical ideas and subduing the enemy.
"You should probably know what the so-called martial arts are now, so let's start the practice class now, first of all, we need to come and train our next plate, and everyone will do this movement with me."
Li Qingzhu made a standard horse step, which looked very beautiful.
The students followed Li Qingzhu and squatted up, and Li Qingzhu stepped forward to correct them one by one. Let them do the standard movements.
"Neville, your waist should be a little more straight, don't pout your ass."
Li Qingzhu walked over to Neville's side. Patting him lightly on the back, Neville straightened up slightly nervously, his body tense.
Li Qingzhu smiled and said, "Neville, don't be so nervous, squatting is not a battle, you have to relax." Otherwise you won't be able to support it for long. ”
Neville nodded, and then according to Li Qingzhu's guidance, he did the standard movements little by little.
Neville's sluggishness made the surrounding Slytherin students laugh at him. Although they don't dare to laugh blatantly, it's always okay to snicker, right?
Neville looked restrained at the sound of those snickering, and he realized that he was stupid. I was also used to being ridiculed. But every time he was going to be very uncomfortable.
Li Qingzhu looked at him, and then said loudly: "Because Mr. Longbottom insisted on not giving up to the end of the day, and made a standard horse step move, so Gryffindor added five points!" ”
Harry and Ron looked at Neville in surprise, Neville also looked at Li Qingzhu in disbelief, he felt that he was so stupid, Li Qingzhu didn't deduct points for him, even if he added points?
This was the first time Neville had earned a score for the Academy. This made him feel so excited, and he didn't know what to say.
Li Qingzhu gently patted him on the shoulder. Then he walked out of the group of students, came to them, looked at the students who were squatting and walking, and grinned: "So, today's class is like this, in addition, my classwork is very simple, just squat and squat until the end of the class, successful, that is qualified, if not successful, that is unqualified." ”
Before everyone protested, Li Qingzhu said again: "In addition, don't say that I am deliberately manipulating you, in fact, squatting can make your legs more powerful and stable, at least you will not be touched by others casually and fall to the ground, the process is very difficult, but the harvest will be very rich, again, my class will be very hard, very boring, what you have seen today is just the tip of the iceberg." ”
"In the days to come, there are more projects that are more difficult than today's training, if you are scared, quit today, if someone withdraws from my class from tomorrow, I will directly score his course to zero at the end of the term, I will do what I say."
Li Qingzhu grinned, then sat to the side, looking leisurely at the faces of the group of students who were gradually becoming entangled and uncomfortable.
Soon, a few girls couldn't insist on announcing their withdrawal, today's squatting made them feel hard enough, and there will be more difficult than this in the future? They couldn't imagine it and simply quit.
Li Qingzhu nodded and said to them: "Okay, I will cut your name out of my course, just as if you have never taken my course, don't worry about getting a zero score at the end of the term." ”
A few girls nodded, this is a good result, they can take other courses if they don't take this course, if they get a zero score in this course, it will directly affect their final evaluation.
The students who were still insisting saw that Li Qingzhu was really talking, so they ran out and told Li Qingzhu that they had given up.
In this way, more than a dozen of them ran one after another, and when they were the last to stay in front of Li Qingzhu, there were only Harry, Hermione, Neville and Draco left, and Ron couldn't help but give up.
Neville was able to persevere, which surprised Li Qingzhu, after all, this kid is notoriously timid and afraid, but today's incident made Li Qingzhu understand a truth, that is, timidity and hard work are actually two different things.
Neville was sweating profusely, his legs trembling at the moment, but he still held on.
Li Qingzhu's encouragement to him before made him too impressed, and since he was a child, Neville has been ridiculed because of his bad memory and some timidity.
In this class, he was encouraged by others for the first time in his life, which made him full of gratitude to Li Qingzhu.
In his simple thoughts, since Li Qingzhu is so good to him, then he also has to repay Li Qingzhu, seeing that so many students are gone, Neville is worried that Li Qingzhu will be sad because of the few students, so he has to stick to whatever he says, no matter how many others go, at least he will not leave.
A class at Hogwarts had an hour, and Li Qingzhu had a total of two classes, that is, two hours of teaching time, which had taken half an hour before, while Harry had stood for more than an hour, and it wasn't long before the class ended.
At this moment, the four of Harry were already exhausted and almost collapsed, and ten minutes ago, they could no longer sweat, and they all felt that their legs no longer belonged to them.
Looking at their pale faces, Li Qingzhu felt that it was good to insist on squatting for an hour on the first day, so he shouted to stop.
A few people immediately relaxed, but soon they were horrified to find that their legs were not at all obedient, and they were still squatting.
Li Qingzhu smiled and said, "It seems that you guys like this action very much." ”
Draco said to Li Qingzhu with a sad face, "Professor Li! Can you please stop talking about the cool air!! What should I do!! ”
Seeing that the child was about to cry, Li Qingzhu stopped joking, walked to him, picked him up, and then gently put him on the ground.
Li Qingzhu's hands were full of internal force and pressed tightly against Draco's legs.
Draco miraculously noticed a warm sensation running through his legs, and gradually he felt that he was able to control his legs.
"It's amazing, Professor Li, how did you do it? What is that heat flow? ”
Draco looked at Li Qingzhu with curiosity, hoping to get his answer.
"In China, that heat flow is called 'internal force', and it has many functions, including increasing the power of moves, assisting other work, and healing, etc., and the way I captured Hannah's wand before was to rely on the support of internal force."
Li Qingzhu briefly explained something to Draco, and Draco was stunned after hearing this, "Chinese martial arts are really amazing. ”
Soon, Draco's legs returned to normal, and Li Qingzhu helped him eliminate his fatigue by the way, so that his legs would not hurt the next day, after all, there would still be classes the next day.
After that, Li Qingzhu treated Harry, Neville, and Hermione one one after another, and eliminated the fatigue of their legs.
The four of them moved their legs and jumped in place a few times, all of them in disbelief that they were paralyzed in the lower half of their bodies just a few minutes ago.
"Professor Li, your martial arts class is so exciting, I don't think I regret taking this class at all."
Harry excitedly said to Li Qingzhu that in just one morning, he had seen the power of martial arts.
Li Qingzhu smiled and said: "I am really happy that you can persevere, I promise you, as long as you can persist until the end of the term, I will give each of you a big gift!" (To be continued......)
