Li Yi boarded the early morning bus. In fact, Qiao Bridge Road was not far from Li's family martial arts hall, only two bus stops away, estimated to be about three kilometers. Li Yi would usually drink here and sometimes jog back, but today he was running a bit late as he had to hurry back for class.
After a sleepless night, Li Yi naturally felt a bit off. When he returned to the martial arts gym, he washed his face with cold water. After cleansing his face with men's facial cleanser, he applied some moisturizer and gently massaged his own smooth and translucent skin. Then, Li Yi turned around and changed into a different set of clothes.
The clothes he changed into were the uniform of the Li Family Martial Arts School - a white T-shirt paired with black pants. This attire was comfortable to wear and convenient for executing punches and kicks. It may be a little plain, but it was also traditional and authentic. Apart from Li Yi's overly beautiful face that seemed somewhat mismatched, there wasn't really any major flaw.
Currently, there are thirty-six disciples at the Li Family Martial Arts School. They all live in Lin City. Some are white-collar workers, some are students, and there are a few who are chefs. In short, they come from various professions, but they share a common goal: to apprentice and learn martial arts at the renowned Li Family Martial Arts School. There are also a few young individuals who have purely come to join the excitement, likely influenced by watching too many martial arts movies, hoping to fulfill their dream of becoming a heroic figure.
Li Yike doesn't care about the dreams and goals of the students, but outstanding students always earn respect. After all, Chinese kung fu has a history of thousands of years. The older generation always hopes that the younger generation can inherit their martial spirit. Even if they don't become masters, practicing martial arts is still a good way to stay strong and healthy. Nowadays, city dwellers are too busy, living aimlessly every day without any interesting hobbies. What's the point of living like this? It's better to go to a martial arts school and learn some kung fu. Girls can protect themselves after learning it, and boys can also protect the ones they love.
In any case, Li Yi also promotes his own martial arts gym on various platforms. Nowadays, people tend to follow the crowd. As long as the approach is appropriate or borrowed from a "celebrity," many people will give their thumbs up to it. Some of them find it interesting and will definitely give it a try. Among these people, many are not interested in martial arts. They are just momentarily interested, but that's the business opportunity - a guaranteed profit without loss.
New students have to learn the basics, so as soon as they arrive at the martial arts school, Li Yi has them practice their horse stance. Li Yi will light a stick of incense in front of the students, which takes about an hour to burn. After an hour of training, they can take a brief rest and loosen their muscles. Beginners have to take it step by step, and young people have to be able to endure this little bit of hardship.
During his breaks, Li Yi would occasionally chat with his students, discussing topics such as the city they lived in, life itself, and even their daily lives and dreams.
There will always be people with impure motives, harboring evil intentions, who constantly invite Li Yi out for meals. These meals are merely a pretense, fearing that it is "the wine not for drunkenness." For such students, as long as they do not lay a finger on themselves, Li Yi will turn a blind eye. But if they cross the line, he won't hesitate to deal with those lewd fellows without reservation.
Li Yi naturally had a way to make them learn to fear. They would crawl and tremble in fear. The thing that people in society fear the most is having their true nature exposed publicly. In the world of online public opinion, the countless internet users' words can drown a person in saliva, and the feeling of having nothing is truly terrifying.
