Chapter 271 Shocking (2)_1
The training ground of Shili Village was two miles away from the village itself, without occupying the village’s territory. Not only was there a training ground, but there was also a newly established school. The place was vast and the facilities were complete.
Before the day could fully break, a group of villagers had already begun their training with Jue Ming. Not far from them, in the small practice field, was a group of children. With Yu Shao’en, they also practiced martial arts, mainly the horse stance. It seemed many children had already adapted to this kind of training, none were complaining about being tired or in pain.
Chu Suifeng arrived with a group of guards and came to a halt on the training ground.
The villagers’ practice was somewhat unusual: they began with a few sets of fist techniques. Chu Suifeng and Si Jinhan, both versed in martial arts, stood by the sidelines observing carefully, their surprise mounting.
They knew Lin Ziyin was adept in close-quarters combat, but they hadn’t expected it to be this effective.
"What’s the use of those things?" asked a villager, gathering some training equipment after concluding his martial arts practice.
"Don’t underestimate this equipment. Its effects on physical training are significant," Lin Ziyin commented indifferently. "If the Prince and the third son remain skeptical, you can have your soldiers, who have no inner strength, spar against the villagers who’ve trained here."
Intrigued by this proposition of a contest, Si Jinhan agreed enthusiastically. "Fine, let’s do it. But a one-to-one contest is not fun. Why not field ten people each from your side and ours for a skirmish?"
Chu Suifeng nodded, giving tacit approval.
"Just training is no fun either, why doesn’t the third son add something to spice it up." Lin Ziyin proposed in a lighthearted manner.
