Chapter 51 Practicing Martial Arts

"What kind of pose is this?"

Tang Li asked in surprise.

At this moment, a person stood up from the sofa.

"Sister Tang Li, you're back? I'm teaching Sister Tang Guo martial arts!"

This person was none other than Peng Yixuan.

Since the two parties became familiar, they often visited each other.

Seeing Peng Yixuan at her own home now, Tang Li was not surprised.

"Martial arts?"

Tang Li was a little surprised to hear this.

Even before the apocalypse, without the jade pendant's enhancement, Tang Guo's physical fitness was inferior to hers.

She often participated in school sports meets and usually took first place. Coupled with her dance background since childhood, she was able to gradually master killing techniques after the apocalypse arrived.

But before the apocalypse, Tang Guo was just a very frail person.

Although she was meticulous and reliable in her work, martial arts...

If she truly had this talent, Tang Li would have had her train long ago.

Hearing Peng Yixuan's words, Tang Li asked, "How is the martial arts training going?"

Peng Yixuan shook her head and whispered, "Sister Tang Guo's foundation is too poor. She's still building her foundation."

Tang Li was a bit speechless upon hearing this.

She shook her head and said, "It's definitely too late to build a foundation now."

"You can directly wear a mechanical exoskeleton and learn some martial arts moves, or choose a handy weapon and delve into it. Both are good choices."

As Tang Li spoke, she put down the package in her hand.

With a "clang," it made a sound of metal striking metal.

Peng Yixuan quickly crouched down and took out the weapons one by one, exclaiming in amazement.

"Wow! This is a crossbow! This is a Tang knife! This is a ring-pommel saber..."

"Hoo! And there's a Miao Dao here!"

Peng Yixuan took out a long Miao Dao from a pile of weapons.

She stood the Miao Dao upright on the ground. Even though Peng Yixuan was quite tall, this Miao Dao reached her shoulder!

"Sister Tang Li, can I try it?"

Peng Yixuan asked Tang Li with eager eyes.

Although she had access to these weapons since childhood, her father always prevented her from touching these lethal items before the apocalypse.

"Yes."

Tang Li nodded in agreement but still reminded her, "But be careful, these are all sharpened."

Peng Yixuan responded and then, holding the Miao Dao, went to the spacious area in the living room to practice.

The Miao Dao was double-edged, possessing the characteristics of both a saber and a spear. It was as tall as a person, and when swung, it was bound to be wide and grand.

Its use was swift and fierce, the saber following the user's movements, with immense killing power.

Even for someone like Peng Yixuan, who had never spilled blood, wielding it gave off a terrifying aura.

Tang Guo stopped her movements and came to Tang Li's side, looking at Peng Yixuan with envy.

Tang Li noticed that her legs were trembling, clearly having reached her limit.

But there was nothing she could do; some things could not be forced.

Although Tang Guo was trying her best, martial arts training was not something that could be achieved overnight but required accumulation over time.

She neither had Tang Li's cheat nor practiced as long as Peng Yixuan since childhood. In a rush, it was naturally impossible to form combat strength.

If this apocalypse were like those novels, with superpowers, Tang Li would have found a way to help Tang Guo obtain superpowers to enhance her combat strength.

But unfortunately, in their apocalypse, there were no superpowers, nor could the physical fitness of ordinary people be improved. It was impossible to train someone as frail as Tang Guo to be combat-effective.

Perhaps, with the enhancement of mechanical exoskeletons and various high-tech weapons, Tang Guo could form a certain level of combat strength.

However, the path of strengthening the body and increasing strength was definitely not suitable for Tang Guo.

Tang Li picked up a hand crossbow from the pile of weapons and handed it to Tang Guo.

"Practice this first to improve your shooting accuracy. When the weapon ban is lifted later, I'll get you better ones."

Tang Guo's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she solemnly took the hand crossbow.

She also knew the cruelty of the apocalypse, otherwise, she would not have actively sought out Peng Yixuan to teach her martial arts.

At this moment, holding the hand crossbow, she began to study it very seriously.

After swinging for a while, Peng Yixuan had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

"This saber is really good!"

After panting a little, Peng Yixuan finally put the Miao Dao back into its sheath with lingering fondness, unable to put it down.

Seeing this, Tang Li asked, "Do you like it? If you like it, I'll give it to you."

Peng Yixuan hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and refused, "I don't accept rewards without merit."

Tang Li smiled and said, "Consider it payment for teaching us martial arts."
