Chapter 41 Tan Dong's Breakthrough, Sincere Gratitude
Tan Dong was panting heavily, his upper body was naked, and sandbags were tied to his legs. He was walking quickly on the wooden stakes in the martial arts field.
Zhao Ya was watching from below with a thin branch in his hand. Whenever Tan Dong's movements were deformed, he would hit him directly.
"Don't try to be lazy, run well!" Zhao Ya shouted coldly.
Tan Dong looked bitter, but he didn't dare to slack off and walked hard.
Finally, this circle of plum blossom piles was finished.
Tan Dong collapsed directly to the ground, and the whole person seemed to be fished out of the water. Sweat even formed a small puddle under his body.
It stands to reason that even if Tan Dong's strength was not good, he would not be so tired after running a circle of plum blossom piles.
The key is the two extra-large sandbags tied to his legs. This thing doesn't show anything when it is just tied, but it becomes more and more tiring as time goes by.
Especially on the wooden stakes, Tan Dong had to be extremely careful, otherwise he might fall off the stakes if he was not careful.
All these reasons combined made Tan Dong tired like a dead dog.
At this time, Zhao Ya came closer.
"Don't lie down, stand up and walk slowly around the martial arts field."
"No, no, I don't have any strength now, let me lie down and rest for a while, just for a while, I beg you, brother Zhao, you are my brother!" Tan Dong begged.
Zhao Ya was not moved at all, took out a piece of dried earthworm meat and stuffed it into Tan Dong's mouth, and then pulled him up from the ground.
"If you lie down now, at least half of the sweat you just shed will be in vain, hurry up and digest the qi and blood slowly."
Tan Dong did not dare to disobey Zhao Ya's words.
Because just two days ago, his father Tan Ziwang wrote a letter after hearing that Zhao Ya was giving him extra lessons.
In the letter, Tan Ziwang praised Zhao Ya's actions and sincerely thanked him. He also told Zhao Ya that if Tan Dong disobeyed him, he could do whatever he wanted, even if he was beaten to death.
Tan Dong did not dare to have any objection to his father's words, and could only obey Zhao Ya's orders.
So these days, let alone going to the brothel to drink, his greatest happiness every day was the moment when he returned home and lay on the bed.
No other reason.
It was too fucking tiring!
Tan Dong walked slowly around the martial arts field with his teeth bared. The dried earthworm meat in his mouth had already been swallowed, and was turning into blood and qi to replenish his tired body.
As he walked, Tan Dong felt that all the bones in his body became solid.
Crack, crack, crack!
Subtle sounds came from Tan Dong's body.
Zhao Ya, who was not far away, heard it very clearly, knowing that after these days of devilish special training, Tan Dong finally reached the time of breakthrough.
"Practice boxing!"
Zhao Ya's shout woke up Tan Dong, who was immersed in the transformation of his bones.
He immediately started practicing the Five Tiger Fist as instructed.
After Zhao Ya's special training, his Five Tiger Fist has made great progress compared to before.
It's not very profound, but the whistling fist has a bit of impressive power.
As he practiced, the bone transformation also went deep into the details.
After practicing a set of Five Tiger Fist, Tan Dong felt that the bones of his body became very hard and full of strength.
"I'm..." Tan Dong was still a little confused.
Zhao Ya walked up with a smile and patted Tan Dong on the shoulder.
"Congratulations on your successful breakthrough. From today on, you are also a real warrior!"
Tan Dong woke up from his confusion and was ecstatic.
Finally broke through!
I am also a warrior who has mastered bone refining now!
Tan Dong wanted to shout a few times, but he still restrained himself.
"Brother Zhao, thank you."
This thank you came from the bottom of his heart.
Because if it weren't for Zhao Ya's training during this period, Tan Dong would never be able to achieve the Great Bone Refining in his lifetime.
Zhao Ya laughed.
"Okay, do we still need to be so polite? I'll report to the chief escort later, and you will also be a porter in the future."
"Yeah!" Tan Dong nodded repeatedly, his face flushed with excitement.
When Zhao Ya told Meng Lei about Tan Dong's situation, Meng Lei was also very happy, and even called Tan Dong to come close to encourage him personally.
Soon, the news that Tan Dong had achieved the Great Bone Refining and was promoted to a porter spread, which also shocked the escort agency a little.
In fact, most people didn't feel anything about this matter.
After all, Tan Dong had been in the escort agency for many years and was already an old employee. It was only at this time that he broke through a realm. His progress was so slow that it was not worth mentioning at all.
But those who knew the inside story didn't think so.
"Damn, even Tan Dong can achieve great success in bone refining. Is there any justice in the world?"
"Who said it wasn't? That guy hangs out in brothels for 20 days a month. Almost all the girls in the brothels in Wuxiang City know him. It's speechless that such a person can break through!"
Let alone these sour words, Tan Dong was in a good mood after the breakthrough and invited many people to drink that night.
Zhao Ya was naturally the protagonist, and Luo Feng and some porters also attended.
Most of these people actually came for Zhao Ya's face, but that was enough.
Tan Dong was greatly encouraged. He drank to his heart's content. In the end, it was Zhao Ya who sent the drunken Tan Dong home.
In the evening of the next day, Tan Dong specially brought food to visit Zhao Ya's home and had a drink at his home.
Zui'er was also very happy when he knew about Tan Dong's breakthrough. He toasted him and left.
When only Zhao Ya and Tan Dong were left, Tan Dong took out a letter with a smile.
"Brother Zhao, this is what my father wrote to you today after he got the news."
Zhao Ya opened it and saw that it was full of words of gratitude.
But between the lines, one could still feel Tan Ziwang's love for his son and his great joy.
In the end, Tan Ziwang told Zhao Ya that the amount of dried earthworm meat would be increased to thirty taels per month in the future.
Although the effect of dried earthworm meat on Zhao Ya is getting lower and lower now, Zhao Ya is still very grateful for it.
Because Zhao Ya understands that this is the limit of what Tan Ziwang can do.
He handed the letter back to Tan Dong. After reading it, Tan Dong's eyes were a little red. He picked up the wine and drank it all.
This time, he drank a lot of wine, and finally Tan Dong staggered away.
Just as Zhao Ya was about to clean up the leftovers, Zui'er heard the noise and came out of the house. She brought a bowl of iced sour plum soup to Zhao Ya to sober him up, and then she cleaned up the dishes.
It was already summer, and the weather was getting hotter day by day.
So after Tan Dong left, Zui'er changed into casual clothes, and there was always a sense of elegance in her every move.
Zhao Ya's head was a little hot, but he still looked away.
He still had to practice martial arts later, and it was not advisable to watch too much of this kind of scene to prevent getting angry.
After Zui'er finished cleaning up, Zhao Ya asked her to go back to the house to sleep first, and he stood in the yard to start practicing martial arts.
Eight Vajra Kung Fu, Five Tiger Fist, Wind Blade Technique, Light Kung Fu Flying on the Grass...
Zhao Ya practiced martial arts one by one, and when he was in high spirits, his moves were accompanied by a chilling sound of wind.
