428: Chapter 72: Training Room 428: Chapter 72: Training Room In the following days, Xiang Shan once again assud the form he took when conducting research.
He devoted himself entirely to the refinent of his external strength.
Of course, this ti there were three additional people on his side.
The news that “Matsushima Instructor had taken on four students at once” beca a moderately sized piece of news within the Iron Block Style Dojo of Pine Eagle City.
The “Fusion VIP Course” by Hiroshi Matsushima was actually seldom sold.
The reason was its extrely high price.
Oddly enough, Hiroshi Matsushima would routinely guide new apprentices on a daily basis, which led many to underestimate the value of this premium course.
Many who were uninford thought that since they were already in the dojo receiving lectures from Matsushima, there was no need to spend a hefty sum on this VIP course.
And the few who could discern the difference between the two types of courses weren’t necessarily willing to spend the money.
The pricing of Hiroshi Matsushima’s VIP course was indeed quite steep.
In fact, when Xiang Shan initially sought him out, he also doubted whether Matsushima’s VIP course would truly be exceptional.
He rely required Matsushima’s external strength to polish his own, so he approached him directly.
But after attending this VIP course, he felt it was genuinely worthwhile.
That’s why he sincerely recomnded it to other Heroes.
In truth, every Martial Artist who had taken Hiroshi Matsushima’s VIP course thought it was more than worth the value.
Because this old man’s external strength was exceptionally high.
In the aspect of “strategic combat” alone, very few could best him.
Moreover, his theoretical knowledge was also quite solid.
In the day-to-day beginner instruction, Hiroshi Matsushima would repeatedly teach the foundational martial arts theory established by the Martial Ancestor and continuously interact with various novices.
He was acutely aware of the process a Martial Artist undergoes in formulating a conception of the whole idea of “Martial Arts.”
Instead of acting like the average person who, once having grasped a concept, forgets the past and cannot imagine how soone unaware of the concept thinks.
Because he knew “how soone ignorant of Martial Arts conceptualizes it,” he understood Martial Arts better than the average Martial Artist.
Even the Martial Ancestor himself affird this.
Regarding the matter that “Matsushima Instructor finally managed to sell his courses,” the entire Iron Block Style dojo was quite happy.
It ant they could also share a small portion of the profits.
And the high pricing of Hiroshi Matsushima’s classes made the operation of the entire dojo much smoother.
Of course, other instructors tacitly refrained from inquiring about the backgrounds of these new students.
After all, soone whose martial arts prowess required the personal guidance of Hiroshi Matsushima was either aiming for the Paralympics or preparing to take a life.
Now with four students, Hiroshi Matsushima tried to schedule their classes together as much as possible.
And Xiang Shan’s classes were always the first.
Among all the students, Xiang Shan’s external strength level was the highest.
When sparring with Hiroshi Matsushima, he had to be fully alert.
This was quite taxing on his energy, so it had to be scheduled first.
The other three Heroes were sowhat simpler.
At least Brady and Yadali were still at a level where Matsushima could verbally guide them through the intricacies.
Every evening, Hiroshi Matsushima would arrive at his dojo—[On Earth, the Benchmark Man would soak up the sun to charge during the day, thus being more active at night]—and practice a little to adjust his mind and spirit.
Then, he would return to lead the apprentices in practicing the basic boxing stances.
After that, it was ti for combat training with Xiang Shan.
During this process, Brady, Yadali, and Ai Tielang would observe the training between the two strong competitors.
But soon enough, Brady and Yadali gave up on this activity.
They realized they simply couldn’t understand the content of the training between the Naless Hero and Matsushima Instructor.
Ai Tielang, however, watched with rapt attention.
His realm hadn’t quite touched that edge either.
But Xiang Shan and Matsushima were generous in explaining their actions, so theoretically, he could vaguely recognize so of the principles at play.
This was undoubtedly the gateway to a higher realm of external strength.
And now, this door had opened just a crack before Ai Tielang…
It gave the old gunner an itch he couldn’t scratch—a maddening, deep-seated desire.
He had no choice but to throw himself into it wholeheartedly.
Brady and Yadali had no choice but to wait here until Xiang Shan finished his training.
Although there had been a bit of friction between the Chaotic Blade Sect and Flash Speed Sect, the two sects generally had a good relationship.
Or rather, most of the sects within the Arctic Circle maintained amicable relations with one another.
The two occasionally exchanged a few words.
“Do you think our sects will agree to go to Paradox City?” Yadali asked softly.
“Hard to say,” Brady replied in a low voice, watching the training between Xiang Shan and Hiroshi Matsushima that was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
“This senior’s martial arts have reached such heights.
Even so, he also feels that entering Paradox City would be a life-and-death gamble…”
“But we… I an, the other Jianghu people invited by the Naless Senior, they don’t have to rush in, do they?
Just provide so strategic support from the outside.”
“But Paradox City houses ten thousand troops.
Even if only a tenth were to co out, it would still outnumber our two sects by more than tenfold.”
“But what if our tactics are sound and one person can draw away a hundred?”
“There’s still a risk of being split up and overwheld.
After all, it’s Paradox City; it’s not just ordinary soldiers there, there are plenty of experts too.”
The two conversed using encrypted thods.
They felt that the likelihood of their sects agreeing to Xiang Shan’s request was not small.
Because Xiang Shan had already explained the strategic importance of the battle at Paradox City.
For a long ti, the existence of Paradox City had been a blow to the heroic activities throughout the Solar System.
The plight of the Ninth Martial God was a disgrace to the banner of chivalry.
And the attitude of the Ninth Martial God himself was especially likely to sway heroes.
So, even if it ant charging into Paradox City to provide relief for the Ninth Martial God, it carried significant strategic importance.
If at this ti, one could spread the songs of the Ninth Martial God throughout the Solar System and leverage them for various activities, the Path of Chivalry could be propagated even further.
This was a very compelling reason.
And the isotopic batteries that Xiang Shan provided were indeed very valuable.
Whether for “chivalry” or for “profit,” both sects had reasons to take action.
Xiang Shan himself said that he had connections with the Solo Kill King from the Northern Lands, Jader.
When the ti ca, perhaps even more sects from the Northern Lands would join in.
The two young heroes expressed their worries about the matter, but at the sa ti, they couldn’t help but feel a bit of longing.
Charging alone into battle, breaking through the encirclent…
This was certainly one of the most romantic hero stories in the world.
And they might just witness it.
They would undoubtedly be excited.
Soon, Xiang Shan’s course had drawn to a close, followed by Yadali’s training.
Ai Tielang also stopped his observations to take a brief rest and assimilate what he had just learned.
A week passed like this.
Xiang Shan went out once again.
