He Tiansong led Yang Xi to the martial arts training ground, where twenty or thirty martial artists were practicing their fists. They were going through a complete routine over and over again: thrust punches,-through punches, splitting punches, chopping punches, smashing punches, pushing palms, splitting palms, sweeping palms, hacking palms, and wiping palms, combined with snapping kicks, stamping kicks, kicking, side kicks, hook kicks, inside crescent kicks, and sweeping kicks.
"Shaolinquan! This style takes three to five years before you see any results!" Yang Xi said to He Tiansong beside him.
"Yes, indeed. This style is fierce and powerful, unpretentious, versatile, and practical. Without five years of hard training, your strength and coordination won't catch up, and it won't be very effective," He Tiansong replied.
