Chapter 434 The Mockery
The days that followed were uneventful.
Nathan took a rest to take care of his body, leaving his things at work to others. The
Giradia group made steady progress and was approaching the end of the project.
Gussie made progress so rapidly that Nathan couldn’t help but admire her secretly.
If she had been discovered and trained earlier, she would make formidable
achievements in the future. Of course, her level was not poor now.
Gussie quickly mastered the most basic gesture of Wuxing Fists, the splitting fist. To
get started with this series of fists, the
first gesture to practice was the splitting fist.
Once the splitting fist was well practiced, the drilling fist, the crushing fist, the cannon
fist, and the crossing fist could be easily grasped.
Compared with Gussie, Julian seemed to be a slow learner. After all, talent was not
something that could be made up for by hard work
“From today onwards, you come to me every day after work, and you need to do extra
practice,” Nathan told Gussie after the day’s training was over.
“Okay.” Gussie agreed.
She felt changes in her body and even in her temperament.
She felt that she had grown a lot more courageous. Now she was much more openminded about many things, and her fears of some things had gradually faded away.
Whenever she was afraid, she would practice the splitting fist, which would dissipate
all the negative emotions.
In the past few days, Nathan took Julian and Gussie to practice during the day and
went to the 81st Division to arrange the schedule of training. If he was in a good
mood, he would go back to the company, otherwise, he would just wander around.
He had passed these days in a very relaxed and comfortable condition, which even
made him a little unaccustomed to it.
“It’s almost Christmas day. I don’t know if dad will come back from prison this year.”
Nathan glanced at the calendar on the desk and couldn’t help but sigh over how fast
time had passed.
After work, everyone was busy working overtime, while Nathan reduced Gussie’s
workload and asked her to practice with him.
Gussie was wearing white sportswear, and her hair was combed into a ponytail,
looking very plain.
Nathan said, “The next stage of training will be very painful and is indeed physical
torture. It is an indispensable part, and you have to persevere.”
Gussie said, “I will work hard!”
Nathan took out a bunch of rubber bands and said, “It’s enough to practice boxing by
yourself every day. Next, what I want to train are your muscles and bones.”
After saying this, he threw the rubber bands into the bucket and stirred the water to
make them wet.
He took out the rubber bands that were slippery with water. Moreover, they were tied
into a tight knot..
“Practice finger strength today, untie all of them.” Nathan threw the rubber bands in
front of Gussie.
Gussie originally thought it was too simple. But once she got started, she immediately
realized that something was wrong!
The rubber bands were very slippery and could only be held with fingertips. Moreover,
the knot was tightly tied and shrank after being soaked in water. It was very difficult to
untie it.
She worked hard and used all her strength to untie the first rubber band.
Then, she found that her fingertips were already red, and the blood seemed to be
oozing out of the nails. What ensued was severe pain that almost penetrated through
her.
Nathan sat cross-legged beside her, supporting his chin with one hand and looking at
her lazily. He raised his hand and said,
“Go on!”
Gussie gritted her teeth and picked up the second rubber band to untie the knot. This
time she changed the other two fingers to untie it, which made it more difficult.
