Chapter 122: Liu Hai’s Educative Livestream

Translator: CKtalon

At night, in the martial arts arena in the virtual world’s personal space, Xu Jingming sat at a stone table and wrote his notes.

To teach people around the world how to practice martial arts, my teaching is only a catalyst. It gives them a system to follow and a path to stick to. In the end, they have to rely on their own efforts and insights.?Xu Jingming looked at his notebook.

Whoosh.

Li Miaomiao arrived at the martial arts arena and walked to the side. She gazed at the notebook and murmured, “Ninth class, spearmanship? Jingming, you are waiting until the ninth class to teach spearmanship?”

“My course only has nine classes,” Xu Jingming said with a smile.

“A total of nine classes?” Li Miaomiao was surprised. “You’re best at spearmanship, but you are only teaching it during the last class? What will you be teaching for the first eight classes?”

Xu Jingming said, “People around the world practice all kinds of weapons—sabers, swords, spears, staffs, rods, shields, axes, hammers, chains, flying axes… All kinds of weapons. Take swords for an example—they are also divided into rapiers, two-handed greatswords, short swords, and so on. There are also many kinds of sabers; for example, machetes, Green-Dragon sabers, ghostblades, miaodaos, eight-cut knives, etc. Every weapon is subdivided into many more categories. It’s impossible to finish teaching weapons alone, and it’s also impossible for me to be proficient in all weapons.”

“Then, what will you teach?” Li Miaomiao asked.

“The essence of martial arts,” Xu Jingming said. “Comprehending one path means understanding every path. Learning the essence of martial arts allows one to naturally use any weapon.”

Li Miaomiao nodded slightly and said after some thought, “You’re already constructing the ninth class. It looks like you’ve thought through everything?”

“You can think of it as a nascent form,” Xu Jingming said. “I stayed in the combat center for three years after I retired and became a coach for three years. I also taught many people martial arts and weapons, so I have put in some thought regarding teaching. It’s just that my realm is higher now, so I can teach more thoroughly.”

“From the looks of it, you’ve accumulated experience in teaching disciples after retiring to become a coach.” Li Miaomiao smiled.

“Yeah, that’s how interesting fate is.” Xu Jingming sighed with emotion. “I chose to retire because of my leg injury and felt that my future was bleak. Who would’ve thought that three years of teaching experience… would be used to teach the whole world through the virtual world?”

Li Miaomiao nodded. Suddenly, she received a message.

She opened it and immediately exclaimed in surprise, “Master Liu Hai is live-streaming!”

“Master is live-streaming?” Xu Jingming was surprised.

With Master’s character, he was live-streaming?

“Moreover, he says he wants to teach martial arts,” Li Miaomiao said.

“Let’s go take a look,” Xu Jingming said.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two of them opened the spectator platform and immediately headed for Liu Hai’s livestream.

…

Liu Hai’s livestream was filled with people. There were asians, blacks, caucasians—people from all over the world rushed into the livestream. Their skin, hair color, and even the color of their eyes were different, but they watched the livestream fervently.

“World champion.”

“The world champion, Liu Hai, has started teaching martial arts.”

Countless people in the stands were very excited and wanted to listen to Liu Hai’s teaching.

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao also arrived and noticed the massive number of viewers.

“In just a short while, the number of viewers has reached 600 million, and it’s still rising,” Li Miaomiao exclaimed in surprise.

“Calm down, everyone.” Liu Hai smiled as he sat on a bamboo chair in the martial arts arena and leisurely faced the hundreds of millions of viewers. “In two minutes, I will officially begin my class.”

“Many people think that martial arts is very difficult and that progress is slow no matter how they train,” Liu Hai said with a smile. “Actually, martial arts is very simple—it’s just like running, long jump, rope skipping, and playing badminton. It’s all a simple sport.”

“Perhaps many people doubt me. How can it be that simple?” Liu Hai smiled. “Actually, many people make martial arts too complicated.”

As he spoke, two minutes passed.

“Alright, we can begin the class now.” Liu Hai got up.

At this moment, the number of viewers in the livestream had reached 1.5 billion! This was the allure of an educational livestream from the world champion.

“The virtual world was launched more than three months ago,” Liu Hai said as he stood there. “Many people understand that force delivery is very important when using weapons. With the same body, some people can only deliver 1,000 kilograms of force with a single strike, while others can deliver 5,000 kilograms of force. Why is that?”

“This is the difference between a body’s delivery of force. As long as you mobilize more of your body’s muscles to exert force, the strength will be greater.” Liu Hai reached out and tapped twice gently, producing a large hanging sandbag in front of him.

“Hitting sandbags is a tradition in the global combat industry. Every combat school uses sandbags because the effects of punching them are excellent.” Liu Hai stood in front of the large sandbag, and his muscles were also showing. “I’m now showing all the stats for my muscles. You can see the changes in my muscles more clearly.”

“Alright, I’ll teach you how to hit sandbags today. If you can hit a sandbag well, you can easily become a Divine.”

“First stance of punching a sandbag.” Liu Hai stood in front of the sandbag and started attacking the sandbag with his fists. The landing point of his fists was level to his head.

One punch after another.

During the bombardment, the muscles on Liu Hai’s back were like the steam tank of an engine.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The engine pumped at high speeds, producing terrifying strength. The muscles on Liu Hai’s back also erupted with terrifying strength, blasting his fists out repeatedly like cannonballs.

“This feeling?”

“This…”

Countless people around the world could clearly see the changes in Liu Hai’s muscles through the data displayed.

Liu Hai’s legs were like two pillars that transmitted strength between his body and the ground! His waist was the core engine that mobilized the entire body’s strength, and the muscles on his back were the direct engine that threw out his punches!

The combination of the two engines at the waist and back was like the combination of two steam tanks as strength surged.

Liu Hai delivered 500 consecutive punches in one breath, and every punch was like a cannonball. He stopped after delivering them.

“This is the first move for hitting a sandbag,” Liu Hai said with a smile. “Although I did mobilize all the muscles in my body to exert force, the muscles on my back are the main force. Look at the lines of my muscles. Practice this move diligently every day. When practicing, face a mirror and display your muscles’ stats. Compare them to my muscle lines. All you need to do is to slowly exert force in the same way.”

“It’s said that you’ll figure things out from practicing a punch 10,000 times. However, if the force exerted isn’t right, it will only injure the body,” Liu Hai said. “In the virtual world, it’s much easier to practice without being afraid of injuries. You just have to follow me.”

“I’ll teach a total of three moves today. Right, just three moves!” Liu Hai smiled and said, “They’re all against sandbags!”

“Practice each of the three moves at least a thousand times a day. The more perseverance there is, the better,” Liu Hai said. “As time passes, as long as the changes in your muscle lines are similar to mine, your bodies will quickly reach Lv. 2 and reach Divine!”

“Alright, let’s begin the second sandbag-hitting stance. Lower your fists to your waist…” Liu Hai began teaching again.

Xu Jingming watched. “Master still sticks to his teaching methods.”

“It feels very simple,” Li Miaomiao said.

“Yes.” Xu Jingming nodded. “Master doesn’t talk about profound theories when teaching. He only teaches you one or two moves and gets you to practice them time and time again. When you master them, Master will teach you theory. Back then, many members of the national team practiced without understanding anything. When they grasped the technique, Master would give them some pointers, and they naturally became enlightened.”

“Back then, Master had to teach very carefully and pay attention to every disciple’s state. He was afraid that the disciples would get injured during training.” Xu Jingming sighed with emotion. “The virtual world makes things simple; there’s no need to be afraid of getting injured during training.”

Twenty minutes later.

“All of you now know the three stances of sandbag punching,” Liu Hai said. “This is my first lesson in martial arts; I taught the most basic force delivery. Practice more when you get back; it’s still very easy to reach Lv. 2. I’ll also edit the livestream and add more details to it. I’ll make it into a teaching course that will be uploaded to the Martial Arts Center. Everyone is also welcome to download it! The Martial Arts Center’s course… will produce teaching environments that are more suitable for everyone to learn.”

“Alright, there will be another stream tomorrow at the same time—10 p.m. Beijing time. See you then,” Liu Hai said with a smile before turning off the livestream.

At this moment, the number of viewers in the livestream had exceeded 2.2 billion.

“That’s it?” Li Miaomiao was in a daze. “I wanted to tip him, but it ended before I could react.”

“Master doesn’t care about tips,” Xu Jingming said. “With Master’s character, he’s more passionate about grooming disciples to excellence.”

“After watching Master Liu Hai’s livestream, are you confident in your livestream teaching?” Li Miaomiao asked.

“It’s quite stressful.” Xu Jingming smiled and said, “Master’s martial arts teaching is simplified to the extreme, but his intentions are profound, and the effects are amazing. However, my teaching method is different from Master’s.”

“Different?” Li Miaomiao was curious.

“Master’s teaching is still based on traditional martial arts.” Xu Jingming shook his head. “I want to break the shackles of traditional martial arts and teach from a different angle.”

Li Miaomiao became even more intrigued.

“However, I have to pay a visit to a senior and ask for some advice,” Xu Jingming suddenly said.

“Which senior is it?” Li Miaomiao asked.

“My grandfather.” Xu Jingming smiled.. “I need advice when it comes to live-streaming!”
