Shrinking his body, Zhong Chao acted defensively, constantly resisting the attacks of the girl in red.
"pia snap!" "pia snap!" "pia snap!"
Zhong Chao, who was fully defensive, was beaten for three full minutes.
No one interfered, and the girl in red had a great time, while Zhong Chao had red whip marks all over his body.
The pain radiating throughout his body was so severe that it made him feel dizzy.
However, after two battles in a row, she was still surrounded by people. The girl in red was also a little tired, and there were beads of sweat on her nose.
Therefore, when she was satisfied with the whipping, she threw away the whip in her hand and started giving instructions to the maid next to her.
"Bring some water, I'm exhausted."
After drinking a cup of tea, looking at Zhong Chao still standing in the field, she nodded: "Although he is weak, it is good to dare to fight... Zhang Chong is in charge, even if he passes this time, I will
I also want him to help me train.”
"...Miss Xi, he will come tomorrow."
"Hehe, that's good, Xiaocui, give him one tael of silver and a pair of decoctions. This is my lady's reward."
After saying that, she took the maid and left, and Zhong Chao's first sparring session ended.
However, Zhong Chao, who was slapped on the face for the last time, still looked a little dazed, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
On the contrary, the teammates who had "collapsed" early came to life one after another, and looked at the silver and decoction placed in front of Zhong Chao with hot eyes.
If there are other newcomers, these old people will not mind snatching them.
"I was partly responsible for the beating just now, so why should I give you all the rewards?"
But that approach was for dealing with ordinary newcomers, and Zhong Chao... to be honest, they were intimidated by Zhong Chao.
He was spanked for three minutes and nearly a hundred times. During the whole process, Zhong Chao remained silent (didn't dare to speak for fear of the steam dissipating). The force was so severe that even those experienced people like them, who were familiar with the world, were a little scared.
"Except for the initial gasp, I didn't hear any moaning. Did any of you hear it?"
"……No."
"I just noticed that the more people we have fallen, the greater the pressure, and the more silent he becomes..."
"Nah, regardless of his strength, this person is definitely a ruthless person."
"Forget it, stop looking. If you provoke such a person, I won't dare to close my eyes even at night."
Money is great, but they don't want to mess with Zhong Chao.
Even the steward Zhang Chong didn't touch Zhong Chao's decoction, but he took away 70% of the money. This was the rule of the martial arts gym and it had to be handed over to the gym owner.
Later, he sent someone to take Zhong Chao to the resting place for the bronze medal disciples.
After Zhong Chao regained some consciousness, he thought about it and left some hints.
"Next time you fight, you don't have to be so stubborn. Of course, you can't perform too badly. If you are seriously injured, you can fall to the ground."
"I see."
After the reminder, the steward left, but Zhong Chao waited for a while before his consciousness completely recovered.
At this moment, he understood why Yi Shun didn't think highly of him and others. Sparring was indeed not done by humans.
Now, he has only returned to consciousness. There is a burning pain in the area where the girl in red slapped him. As the blood boiling ends and the adrenaline decreases, Zhong Chao feels even more painful now.
Because the whip marks were all over his body, Zhong Chao could neither lie down nor lie down, nor could he even sit. He could only stand.
The only good thing was that the decoction given by the girl was very effective, far more effective than the Huoxue Powder. After taking it, a clearly felt heat flowed through Zhong Chao's body.
The effect of this medicine, combined with the vitality of Yang, allowed Zhong Chao to recover quickly from his injuries.
However, even if the medicine is extremely effective, because his injuries are too serious, he will not be able to recover in a short time.
And soon, Zhong Chao discovered that he was not the worst.
Among the four-person team, although his will was vague, he came back standing after all. On the other hand, Zong Sheng and Di Hua were carried back.
Only Jiang Liang was smarter and saw the secret of sparring, so he fell to the ground and his injuries were not serious.
And this is not the only case for Zhong Chao and the others. Every one of the other registered disciples in the same class with them were covered with bruises. One person's chest was even dented by the beating, and blood kept flowing from his mouth. Seeing that
He won't live long.
This scene also made Jiang Liang turn pale with fright, and he even had the idea of returning to being a handyman disciple.
"You don't have to work, you have a lot of fish and meat every day, and you still have three taels of silver, so you know it's hard to get the money..."
With a sad face and no idea what he was thinking of, Jiang Liang gritted his teeth and went to the steward to ask how he could return to being a handyman disciple.
Unfortunately, he came back three minutes later with a frustrated look on his face.
"What's wrong? You can't go back on your word?"
"Yes...but I have to work for a full year and earn back the money and money from the practice."
"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have learned the exercises..."
Looking at Jiang Liang with a face full of despair, Zhong Chao did not look down upon him. The life of a registered disciple was indeed not good. If the Chunyang Golden Bell had not been able to recover from his injuries, he would have found a way to return to his job or escape.
However, Zhong Chao didn't like that the atmosphere was always so low, so he tried to persuade him: "You shouldn't worry too much. With your intelligence, it's not difficult to survive a year. Just like now, you are the only one among us who is not injured."
."
It was okay if Zhong Chao didn't comfort him, but once he comforted her, the despair on Jiang Liang's face became even heavier.
"Boss, it's that simple. We don't do anything, and it's usually fine. Once the other party is unhappy with the report, we will not only be fined, but also beaten. Sometimes, the whips in the martial arts school are harder than the ones from the other side."
"..."
Now, Zhong Chao didn't know how to comfort him.
Fortunately, Jiang Liang is already an 'adult', and without Zhong Chao's persuasion, he realized that his mood was not right, and said with a forced smile: "Let's not mention these things... Boss, there is good news. As newcomers, our first week
Just participate in one sparring session every day.”
"However, the missed games in the first week will have to be made up later."
Although he still needed to make up for the show, the news came very timely. Just now, he was worried about how to complete today's task.
"Since we don't need to participate in the sparring, we can go back."
"No, although we don't need to participate in the sparring, the steward asked us to watch here and learn from other people's sparring experience."
"All right."
…
Just like this, entrenched in the corner of the martial arts arena, Zhong Chao waited for the passage of time.
Soon, three hours passed and the time came to half past ten.
At this moment, Zong Sheng and Di Hua had woken up from coma, but they were seriously injured and did not want to move.
After waking up, Di Hua had tears on his face and felt a little homesick... He was just tall, but his mental age was very young - his actual age was not very old either, only fourteen or five years old.
In contrast, Zong Sheng had a gloomy look on his face and clenched his fists tightly. Even if Jiang Liang touched his wound while applying medicine, he remained silent.
Zhong Chao knew that his friend was very unwilling.
It's not a bad thing to be so cruel, and Zhong Chao didn't try to persuade him.
Di Hua cried, Zong Sheng became furious, and Jiang Liang frowned. All three of them were shocked by the cruelty of the sparring, and the atmosphere in the entire team was low.
It turned out that Zhong Chao was also like this. The cruel reality made him lose the confidence to complete the martial arts target.
But now, three hours later, he was surprised to discover something - his body's injuries had recovered.
