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 favonovel.com secretly.
If favonovel.com had been discovered and trained earlier, favonovel.com would make formidable achievements in the future. Of course, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com body and even in favonovel.com temperament. She felt that favonovel.com had grown a lot more courageous. Now favonovel.com was much more open-minded about many things, and favonovel.com fears of some things had gradually faded away.
Whenever favonovel.com was afraid, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com was in a good mood, favonovel.com would go back to the company, otherwise, favonovel.com would just wander around.
He had passed these days in a very relaxed and comfortable condition, which even made favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com to practice with him.
Gussie was wearing white sportswear, and favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com got started, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com strength to untie the first rubber band. Then, favonovel.com found that favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com lazily.
He raised his hand and said, “Go on!”
Gussie gritted favonovel.com teeth and picked up the second rubber band to untie the knot. This time favonovel.com changed the other two fingers to untie it, which made it more difficult.
Ten minutes later, favonovel.com untied the second rubber band with sweat all over favonovel.com body. She felt like favonovel.com got a cramp in favonovel.com fingers, and they trembled violently in the air like those of Parkinson’s patients. She looked up and saw that there were more than twenty rubber bands at favonovel.com side.
The rubber band was too difficult to untie when it was wet. Every time favonovel.com exerted force, favonovel.com had to squeeze favonovel.com nails hard to find the point of force. Moreover, the knot was so tight that it took a lot of effort to make it looser.
“Before I manage to untie the knot, I’m afraid I will develop tenosynovitis first.” Gussie couldn’t help questioning him.
“Stop talking nonsense. You can quit if you don’t want to practice anymore.” Nathan said coldly, his face darkening.
Gussie pouted favonovel.com lips and lowered favonovel.com head to untie the third rubber band.
This time it was even more difficult. Her fingers were weak after favonovel.com used up favonovel.com strength, and the pain was unbearable. But, favonovel.com was afraid of being scolded by Nathan and had to bite the bullet.
Nathan said, “This is a relatively simple practice. If I choose to drench the rubber bands in the grease, you will know the taste of despair.”
Gussie almost lost favonovel.com confidence when favonovel.com heard this, but favonovel.com felt it a pity to give up halfway and make all favonovel.com previous efforts futile. So, favonovel.com chose to persevere.
Today, Gussie untied a total of ten rubber bands, and favonovel.com pulled apart the last one almost with favonovel.com mouth. She spread favonovel.com hands and found all favonovel.com fingers worn out and favonovel.com nails a little cracked with blood under them.
“Okay, let’s stop here today. Come here, and I’ll apply medicine to your wounds and give you a massage. We will practice body skills tomorrow,” Nathan said with a half-smile.
Gussie stretched out favonovel.com trembling hands, which hurt and made favonovel.com cry out in pain when held by Nathan’s hands.
Nathan applied the special potion to his hands, which produced a stimulating effect on favonovel.com skin. After being massaged for a while, Gussie felt that favonovel.com fingers were warm and that the pain was relieved.
She looked carefully and found that the extravasated blood beneath the nails was gradually fading at an astonishing speed.
“Don’t give up. In fact, you are cut out for martial arts,” Nathan held favonovel.com hand and encouraged her.
“Really?” Gussie couldn’t help cheering up, “You said I was a useless waste before!”
“Hah, did I? I’m not such a strict person!” Nathan said with a straight face..
Gussie despised favonovel.com inwardly.
This despicable man didn’t admit what favonovel.com had said!
Nathan said, “Eat more high-protein foods and take vitamins these days. The next few days will be very tiring and should be the critical moment for the development of skills!”
Gussie said, “Okay, I will not be lax!”
Nathan patted favonovel.com hand and said, “This little hand is really soft.”
Swish!
Gussie immediately pulled favonovel.com hands back and despised favonovel.com inwardly.
I’m afraid favonovel.com can’t wait to find some way to train my chest!
Nathan was about to continue to tease favonovel.com when the phone rang. He took it and found that it was Natasha calling.
This call came too late. Obviously, Natasha did not admit defeat and had made some resistance in vain after returning to Emperia City. In the end, favonovel.com could only bear the humiliation and call Nathan.
Nathan smiled. If the call was made two days later, the Porter Group in Emperia City would probably declare bankruptcy.
“I’ll answer the phone first,” Nathan said calmly and walked aside.
He put the mobile phone to his ear and said with a smile, “Hey, isn’t this Ms. Porter? Why did you suddenly think of greeting me? Have you settled your relationship with Jade?”
His opening speech made Natasha so furious that favonovel.com wanted to strangle favonovel.com to death by coming over through the phone line.
