604: Chapter 604: Do You Understand Why You Were Beaten Now?
“So let’s start the lesson now!” Tang Zhong declared, directly picking up the Willow Whip in his hand and walking forward.
“However, today, I want to see who will be the first to step forward!” Tang Zhong asked with a smile.
“!” Gu Jin was the first to stand up.
“Why are you the first to stand up?” Tang Zhong directly countered.
“Because we’re going to get hit anyway, it’s better to get it over with sooner rather than later.
We can still endure it!” Gu Jin declared proudly.
“You are a fearless man, but there are many things in the world that cannot be resolved in this manner.
However, you do have rits, at least you have courage, so, I will take good care of you!” Tang Zhong said with a smile.
Then he stepped forward, and a braid of the whip swung through the air.
The sound of the whip striking the air rang out with a snap, as if it were about to explode.
Gu Jin started to resist, assuming a horse stance, preparing to grab the whip coming towards him.
He threw a punch.
With a boom, the fist t the whip, and then blocked it.
“Not bad!” Tang Zhong said with a smile.
“That’s all thanks to your great teaching, Instructor Tang!”
“Stop the chatter and focus!” Tang Zhong swung the whip again, faster than before.
The whip now looked like a blur.
Swish, swish, swish!
It whirled through the air.
This ti, Gu Jin could not block it.
After blocking the first strike, he was hit in the back by the second, sending him plunging forward.
Another braid ca, whipping towards his chest.
It knocked Gu Jin down instantly.
“Get up!” Tang Zhong shouted.
Gu Jin climbed up from the ground without any resistance because he realized an important fact: Every ti the Chief Instructor hit him, his body seed to beco tougher, and he was improving every day.
Everything was changing.
So, he would rather be hit by Instructor Tang.
Snap!
Another whip, directly knocking him down to the ground.
“Get up!” Gu Jin climbed up once again.
“You are brave, I respect that!” Tang Zhong asked, “One final question for you, do you now understand the answer to my question?
Tell , why do I hit you all?”
“I…
don’t know!” Gu Jin said.
“Wrong!” Tang Zhong lashed out with his whip, sending Gu Jin flying in that instant, gruesoly mangled and utterly pitiful.
The Gu Jin lying on the ground this ti bore no scars nor blood, but his entire body was convulsing, his limbs twitching, writhing in agony, his forehead breaking out in beads of cold sweat, his face deathly pale.
Seeing Gu Jin’s plight, those around grew increasingly afraid, hairs standing on end.
Now only three people remained.
Tang Zhong turned to look at them, “Do you think I am too harsh?”
All three nodded in unison.
“Then let ask you, why do you think I need to be so harsh?”
The two n shook their heads imdiately, while the woman at that mont was pondering.
“You might think I am angry, but I really don’t need to take it out on you little soldiers.
Moreover, if I were prejudiced against you, do you think you would still be alive?
If I wanted to tornt you, I could definitely co up with thousands of inhumane ways to do it, so, do you understand?”
Tang Zhong’s words were addressed to everyone present.
He hoped they could understand sothing and preferably, answer his question.
The three people were also deep in thought.
“You, co out!” Tang Zhong shouted, pointing at one of the n.
The soldier, hearing Tang Zhong call his na again, panicked as if ants on a hot pan began to swirl around, his legs trembling.
“Do you know why I am beating you?” Tang Zhong asked with a smile.
“…
The Chief Instructor thinks we deserve a beating…” the soldier stamred, his voice trembling and his forehead sweating profusely.
“Wrong!” Tang Zhong said, then the willow whip lashed out again.
It struck the back of the soldier in front, sending him sprawling forward.
Then he went up, picked up the willow whip, and started thrashing fiercely.
He beat the man until he scread for help.
Then, turning around, he looked at another man: “Tell , why am I beating you?”
“It’s…
it’s because we made the Chief Instructor unhappy!” that male soldier said.
“Wrong!” Tang Zhong advanced, grabbed the willow whip, and started swinging it directly.
Soon the male soldier fell down, his cries of pain rising and falling.
He had no way to escape; battered and bruised, he squatted on the ground and simply gave up, covering his head with his hands as Tang Zhong continued to beat him.
“No…
don’t hit !”
He had given many answers, all of which Tang Zhong said were wrong.
At this mont, the only remaining female soldier was deathly pale.
Usually, her gender accorded her so privileges with other instructors, but with Tang Zhong, it seed to find no use.
She was treated the sa as the n and she didn’t want to be beaten, shivering all over.
By this ti, Tang Zhong had already knocked down the male soldiers, and he slowly walked towards the female soldier, saying, “I ask you, what is the answer to my question?”
The female soldier did not answer imdiately, but in her heart, she had a vague answer, just not sure if it was correct.
Seeing that the female soldier didn’t respond right away, Tang Zhong’s whip swung directly towards her head.
In desperation, the female soldier cried out, “I…
I know the answer, I don’t know why, but every ti Chief Instructor Tang beats , I seem to beco a different person, both physically and in my fighting skills, there’s a qualitative improvent.
So, I think, Chief Instructor Tang beats us, not only to toughen our bodies but also to train our skills!”
Just as the whip was about to land on the female soldier’s head, it suddenly stopped.
After the female disciple finished speaking, terrified, she closed her eyes.
Realizing that the whip hadn’t fallen, she then opened her eyes and gasped for air, her palms sweaty from those few tense seconds.
“Say it again, why do I beat you?” Tang Zhong looked at the female disciple.
The woman soldier, already faint-hearted, now stared at Tang Zhong with enlarged eyes, her deanor timid.
Although the female soldier appeared older than Tang Zhong, her timid deanor revealed she wasn’t bold.
Standing next to Tang Zhong, she seed like a lamb facing a wolf.
But facing Tang Zhong’s pressing question, she could only murmur like a mosquito, “I think…
each lash from the Chief Instructor seems to train us, like exposing the flaws in our punches.
Not only that, but it also trains our alertness!”
The woman soldier finished speaking and stared at Tang Zhong as if seeking confirmation, but she was still afraid of his potential outburst.
“What’s your na?” Tang Zhong asked.
“I…
My na is Song Yin!”
“Well, congratulations, you got the answer right!” Tang Zhong said with a smile.
“Really?” Song Yin stared at Tang Zhong with a look of disbelief.
“Yes!”
“So, Chief Instructor, now that I’ve got your question right, does that an I can avoid being beaten?” Song Yin asked excitedly.
“No…
Since you know why I beat you, why would you want to stop ?
Of course, I can promise you one thing, which is not to hit your face…
Keep you a bit more beautiful!” Tang Zhong said with a smile.
“Ah…
Thank you, Chief Instructor!” Song Yin said.
And what followed was still a fierce beating.
After finishing with everyone, Tang Zhong scanned the four people who had collapsed on the ground and asked, “Now do you understand why I beat you?”
