Chapter 307 248, can you come to visit me more often in the future?
Since Jingji Children's Martial Arts Hall produced a talent like Fang You, its business can be said to have thrived, with an endless stream of parents bringing their children to learn martial arts. The martial arts hall has returned to its peak status from its former deserted state and has even opened a second branch in the heart of Mei City.
After graduating from university, Meng Qing chose to stay at Jingji Children's Martial Arts Hall, hoping to make further progress in the field of children's martial arts education.
Her sister, Meng Xing, also had high hopes for her, entrusting her with the management and operations of the Mei City second branch and being responsible for the curriculum for many students.
As a popular martial arts coach, her class schedules were almost always full, with student spots that were extremely hard to come by; she was either instructing classes or preparing lesson plans every day, truly becoming a very busy person.
When Fang You came to see her today, she was also teaching in the dojo.
"Relax your body, and when you throw a punch, use the energy in your chest, gather it in your dantian..."
"Teacher Meng, could you demonstrate that again for me to see?"
"I want to see it again too!"
"Alright... watch closely... lower your body, submerge your shoulders to be the same width as the hips—Horse Stance Punch! Ha!"
Meng Qing's punching was accompanied by the force of a tempest, her movements sharp and vigorous, with an inherent power as though bearing the weight of a thousand pounds.
"Wow! That looks so cool!"
"That's Teacher Meng for you!"
"So awesome!"
The children were clearly little fans of Teacher Meng Qing, their adoring gazes practically leaping off the page.
Meng Qing seemed to enjoy being adored by everyone, gently touching the children's heads as a form of encouragement.
At this moment, she also caught a glimpse of Fang You sitting cross-legged on the side of the martial arts hall.
The moment she noticed Fang You, Meng Qing's eyes suddenly brightened, and instantly she switched from the mature and dependable Teacher Meng to the lively and cute Sister Meng, smiling with her lips pursed and quickly stepping forward to Fang You's side,
"What brings you here? You didn't even call me in advance."
"I was passing by and decided to drop in and see how you were doing..."
Fang You nodded, "You're doing well, Director Meng."
Clocking in at 1.7 meters, Fang You was now slightly taller than Meng Qing, who was 1.68 meters tall, and it was no longer necessary to look up at her.
Meng Qing noticed this difference too.
"It feels like it's been ages since I've seen you, and you seem to have grown taller!"
Meng Qing reached up to touch Fang You's head with a slightly surprised tone, "You're taller than me now! Aren't you just 11 years old? How did you get so tall?."
"I'll be 12 in two more months."
Fang You was nonchalant, "I'm in my growth spurt, isn't it normal for me to be getting taller?"
"But, but that's too tall! You're already 1.7 meters now, you'll probably reach 1.83 meters... That height is perfect, no need to be taller than that."
"Are you worried that being too tall will put me at a disadvantage in martial arts competitions?"
In martial arts competitions, a taller height could sometimes lead to reduced flexibility and agility, especially during quick changes of direction and lower stance movements. Moreover, balance could also be affected, making it hard to get up again after a fall due to the higher center of gravity…
After hearing her own analysis, Meng Qing suddenly let out a wry laugh:
"If you're too tall, you won't match well with Nuo Nuo!"
[Meng Qing is surprised you didn't notice even this, Emotional Energy +10]
Meng Qing laughed and shook her head, "It seems that our Youyou still has some growing up to do!"
"..."
After a brief silence, Fang You said indifferently, "We rarely see each other; let me see if your martial arts skills have improved."
Meng Qing was immediately intrigued, "Right, right, I also have something I'd like Master to see!"
"Kids, go ahead and practice on your own for a while, the teacher has to take care of something."
Meng Qing instructed an assistant to watch the kids and then took Fang You to the changing room, where they changed into martial arts uniforms. They then went to a small dojo, which had racks filled with all kinds of weapons: blunt-edged swords, fencing swords, Miao dao, scimitars, long spears, and a variety of weapons from both the East and the West—
Of course, it also included the twin weapons that Fang You was most interested in: nunchakus, tonfas, and dual daggers.
Looking at the dazzling array of weapons on the rack, even Emperor Youyou, who had seen many grand scenes, couldn't help but get excited:
This was exactly what every boy with a martial arts dream fantasized about in their dream chamber!
"You actually put together such a cool little dojo?"
"I've always wanted to do weapon-based martial arts, and I heard from my sister that you're very interested in weapons, so I thought I'd bring you here to see..."
Meng Qing, hearing Fang You's approving tone, "If even Master is so interested, it will surely attract others to sign up."
Fang You was not upset by this impudent disciple and instead expressed his own concerns:
"It must be very restrictive for a children's martial arts hall to teach and guide weapon-based martial arts, whether in terms of safety or qualification issues, not to mention the significant responsibilities involved."
Meng Qing nodded, then added:
"That's true... weapon-based martial arts really aren't suitable for kids, but... I don't plan to only teach kids forever."
"What you mean is—"
"I can't possibly keep working at Jingji Martial Arts Hall forever."
"If I continue like this, I'll get used to the easy money, and my own martial arts skills won't improve or progress."
Meng Qing spoke earnestly, "Besides, I want to create my own martial arts style and go further on the path of deepening my martial arts knowledge."
"I see, you're really determined..."
"Do you see me in a new light now?"
Meng Qing wiped her nose somewhat proudly, "But that's normal, isn't it? After all, I am the direct disciple of Master You You!"
Ever since she had spent that special training time with You You, Meng Qing had always referred to You You as her master and took pride in being his disciple.
Her thinking, of course, was absolutely correct.
Ahaha, she definitely grabbed onto the right thigh!
Perhaps influenced by her genuine emotions of considering herself as a master, Meng Qing also gained quite a bit of power from "In the Name of the Father" on Fang You.
Thanks to this, Meng Qing's martial artist professional level had also reached the expert level of LV4+1. Her talent "Deep Understanding of Martial Arts" has the powerful ability to forcefully raise her professional level by one level, and this ability would generate greater effects as Meng Qing's professional level increased.
"Right, right... While we have the chance, Master, would you like to get a feel for these weapons? All the weapons I've acquired are legitimate martial arts weapons, and I've hardly had any opportunity to practice with someone."
At 12 years old, Fang You was no different from a normal adult in terms of height or physical strength.
Other coaches might not be up to it, but Master You You surely could.
After all, it was Jiao Lina, who had been repeatedly tormented by 8-year-old You You; Meng Qing held an almost devout admiration for Fang You's strength.
"I remember that weapon martial arts usually require training with armor,"
Fang You said, "Otherwise, even if the blades aren't sharp, it's still going to hurt if you hit directly."
"We'll just stop at the point of contact!"
Meng Qing patted her chest and said earnestly, "I'll control my strength properly, I've gotten pretty good at controlling it!"
"..."
Hearing his disciple declare such brazen words, Fang You frowned slightly:
"Are you sure you need to worry about controlling your strength?"
Half an hour later, Fang You helped a limping Meng Qing out of the dojo.
[Congratulations! Your talent level has increased!]
[Pleasure Offender LV3——>LV4]
[Pleasure Offender Level 4: You will gain pleasure experience when you verbally attack the opposite sex. At the same time, girls you tease will find it even harder to forget these subtle feelings and become more attracted to you.]
Pleasure Offender extended from physical bullying to verbal bullying, and the bullied would be unable to forget for a long time, giving a sense of Stockholm syndrome.
Oh no, I gave more experience to the "Humanoid Succubus"...
Why couldn't this be a knowledge talent!
"Okay, okay, stop supporting me, my nominal junior brothers and sisters are watching us!"
"Are you sure you're okay? I might have not held back with a few hits just now."
"No, it's okay..."
Meng Qing struggled to stand up straight, but her legs were still trembling slightly.
At this moment, Meng Qing felt very disheartened.
She knew Master You You was strong, but after all, three years had passed, and during that time, the master hadn't delved into martial arts knowledge properly.
On the contrary, she had been training diligently all this time, and considering this encounter involved the weapon martial arts that the master rarely tried, Meng Qing thought she might stand a chance, at least for five moves against You You. In the end, she was subdued by Fang You within four moves.
In fact, if Meng Qing thought about it, she would understand that the four moves she dealt with back then were against an 8-year-old little You You. Now Fang You, although not quite 12 years old, had entered the rapid growth phase of puberty.
The tremendous physical development Fang You went through in three years was a fearsome presence far beyond what Meng Qing's three years of effort could match. Being easily defeated was just an expected outcome.
Meng Qing, holding her buttocks, returned to the dojo with Fang You.
On the way back, Fang You also mentioned the soapbox car design competition.
"Most of the time, you just need to lend your name, Meng Qing, and help push the car on the day of the competition..."
"I've seen this soapbox race before! I quite like it... But isn't there, like, some opening performance or something?"
"Yes, there's a 30-second performance show, and by then, I'll need you and a friend of mine to perform together."
Fang You coughed and then said in a serious tone, "Since you're my direct disciple, I made a point of coming to ask your thoughts first. I wouldn't even bother with anyone else wanting this opportunity."
"I, I should be able to do it..."
Even if it meant 30 seconds of embarrassing death, getting to play with Nuo Nuo and another friend of You You and Ayu seemed fun.
"What exactly am I supposed to perform?"
"We haven't decided on that yet; it depends on the kind of war chariot we plan to make."
"Then, just let me know when you've decided!"
Since it was an event that Nuo Nuo and You You were participating in together, the design was probably being devised with Nuo Nuo in mind to start with.
Meng Qing said, scratching her face sheepishly, "But... can I make a small request, Master?"
"...Go ahead."
"Could you come by more often to see me? I, that is, I want to spar with you more!"
[Meng Qing is looking forward to clashing with you, her master, in battle again; stimulating! Emotional Energy +100]
Meng Qing's eyes shone with eager anticipation. Even though she had just been thoroughly thrashed by her master, she felt no physical pain and maintained her goal of progressing.
But Emperor You You was somewhat concerned.
Oh no, has Pleasure Offender LV4 already started to take effect?
