Chapter 252: Dark Division Leader (2)_1
When Xiang Yang heard the latter part of Situ Xin’s sentence, he completely disregarded the first half. His heart surged with emotion upon hearing the latter half, fearful that he might have misheard. "Leader, did you mean, you’re going to teach all of The Dark Division Ancient Martial Arts?" Xiang Yang’s voice trembled as he spoke, almost stuttering.
"Yes," Situ Xin was preoccupied with thoughts of certain matters and didn’t notice Xiang Yang’s reaction.
After hearing Situ Xin’s affirmative answer, Xiang Yang nearly jumped with excitement. Fortunately, he had good self-control and quick reflexes. His thoughts immediately turned to another matter, "Leader, it seems that not everyone is capable of practicing Ancient Martial Arts, right?" Upon joining The Dark Division, thanks to Old Deng’s influence, Xiang Yang had the good fortune of meeting his master and learning Ancient Martial Arts. After he had learned, he contemplated teaching his comrades of The Dark Division Ancient Martial Arts and even went specifically to ask his master if it was possible to teach others the Martial Arts he learned.
His master, without blinking an eye and continuing to sip his tea, said only one sentence, "As long as there’s someone who can learn it, you’re free to teach it however you like." At the time, Xiang Yang didn’t grasp the meaning of his master’s words and excitedly rushed back to teach his comrades.
But no matter how he taught, his comrades just couldn’t feel anything out of the ordinary. It was from that time on that Xiang Yang realized what his master meant: Ancient Martial Arts wasn’t for just anyone to learn.
At that time, he had the privilege of becoming his master’s disciple, partly because of Old Deng and partly because of his own aptitude for Ancient Martial Arts, due to his suitable physique.
Situ Xin’s attention was brought back by Xiang Yang’s words. "Oh, it’s not that no one can practice Ancient Martial Arts, it’s just that everyone is suited to a different type. The type of Ancient Martial Arts you practice is more yang and masculine; only those with sufficient physical strength and yang energy can practice it."
"Then, Leader, do you mean to say you have different types of Ancient Martial Arts at your disposal?" Xiang Yang asked tentatively, fearful the answer wouldn’t be what he was hoping for.
"Mhm, from what I’ve seen in general, everyone in The Dark Division can find a type of Ancient Martial Arts suitable for them to practice," replied Situ Xin, who had just remembered that she had something else to discuss with Xiang Yang. "Let’s set aside the topic of Ancient Martial Arts for now; the members of The Dark Division all have old injuries."
"Yes, everyone has to undertake missions regularly and, more or less, those missions involve dangers, leading to continuous major and minor injuries. Some injuries, no matter how they’re treated or how much rest is taken, inevitably leave chronic issues," Xiang Yang said, his tone turning somber. Suddenly, remembering the injuries on his own body that had begun to slowly heal, he looked up at Situ Xin with anticipation, "Leader, you must have a way to heal those old injuries on them."
