Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
chapter-53

Looking at Xu Feiyan standing in front of him, Wang Guodong couldn’t help revealing a bitter smile. “Miss Xu, I really can’t leave this club……”

Ever since this Miss Xu first came to the “Reincarnation” club, she specifically asked Wang Guodong to be her private coach and said that money wasn’t a problem.

It’s just that Wang Guodong ran this club as a business undertaking. Naturally, it was impossible for him to abandon his family business to become something like a private coach.

So the two sides made an agreement. Wang Guodong was responsible for providing her with private coach candidates. The day she defeats all these coaches would be the day Wang Guodong becomes her personal coach.

The “Old Lin” that Wang Guodong mentioned earlier was a veteran coach in the fight club.

Who would’ve thought that he would lose five matches in a row after teaching her for less than fifteen days? Old Lin basically lost his face as an elder.

Xu Feiyan’s expression didn’t change. She flatly demanded, “Coach Wang, we had an agreement.”

With her status, she could even force Wang Guodong to be her coach for half a year, but she simply wasn’t willing to force someone to do something.

However, if Wang Guodong wanted to renege on the gentleman’s agreement they made, then she didn’t mind using other methods to make him agree.

Wang Guodong was also well aware of this. He knew that he had no way to refuse, so he could only give a small sigh. “I hope Miss Xu will give me some time. I still need to make some arrangements for the club.”

“Okay.” Xu Feiyan nodded and immediately turned and left. From beginning to end, she didn’t even glance at the crowd around her.

However, no one ever expected that just as Xu Feiyan turned around to leave, a soda can flew over from nowhere and hit her right calf.

Xu Feiyan’s entire body froze, and a sudden silence descended upon the crowd. Only Gu Nan, the one who kicked that can, still maintained a calm smile.

“Gu Nan, you……” Gu Xingzhu looked at him like he was a fool.

Even Wang Lizhi beside him subconsciously inched away a couple of steps, as if trying to distance herself from Gu Nan.

“This person must be crazy. He actually dared to prank Miss Xu……” The person in a coach uniform next to them was already gaping at him, looking at Gu Nan with a dumbfounded look .

But to everyone’s surprise, Xu Feiyan didn’t suddenly explode in anger because of this prank. Instead, she paused for a moment before slowly turning around.

Her brows were furrowed tightly. She looked around, and her gaze finally fell on Gu Nan.

“Did you kick this can?”

“I did.” Gu Nan smiled and asked, “How did you feel? Did you feel like you couldn’t dodge it, no matter what?”

Xu Feiyan fell silent. She looked down at her right leg and ground her toes into the ground as she twirled her right leg twice. The awkward, uncomfortable feeling in her heart intensified.

She was an Innate Realm Sixth Stage martial artist and had already cultivated an elite level of internal energy technique. Of course she was no stranger to identifying the positions of objects by listening to the wind.

As soon as that can flew up, she recognized that it would fall on her body, and she could even discern the exact landing point with her ears.

But when she wanted to move, all her movements felt wrong no matter how she moved. It was as if the other party aimed at a blind spot, so that she couldn’t dodge no matter which side she moved to.

But when she calmed down, she felt that this was abnormal.

‘Obviously, I could’ve dodged if I’d just lifted my foot, so why would I feel this way?’

“Because there’s something wrong with your walking posture,” Gu Nan still didn’t get a reply from Xu Feiyan, so he simply spoke.

Everyone, including Wang Guodong, was baffled by his words. ‘Don’t tell me there’s actually a fixed posture for walking?’

Xu Feiyan was the only one who raised her head in a flash of understanding. She rushed up and grabbed Gu Nan’s arm. Her good-looking face, which was originally cold, instantly changed into a pleasant surprise. “You. Be my personal coach.”

“Will you pay me?” Gu Nan asked.

“I’ll double whatever amount the club is giving you.” Miss Xu was a generous one.

So Gu Nan turned his head to look at Wang Guodong. “You heard her, Boss Wang. Give me a wage of a few million per hour. I’ll split half with you when the time comes.”

Xu Feiyan’s face instantly darkened.

Wang Guodong: “……”

……

……

In the end, Wang Guodong didn’t write out any sky-high type of price. He gave Gu Nan a special contract based on the highest treatment given to any coach in the club. Gu Nan would be Xu Feiyan’s personal coach, but he would still be part of the club.

Remaining as a member of the club was a necessary process, or else Classmate Gu Nan wouldn’t even have a coach qualification certificate.

Only then did Xu Feiyan know the details about Gu Nan’s employment—he was a temporary worker who had no coaching qualifications and hadn’t even been “accepted” by the club.

Of course, as long as he could give her good guidance, she didn’t care about his lack of qualifications.

In a private training room, only Gu Nan and Xu Feiyan were present. The latter slowly told him about her experience.

“When I was very young, I often trained with an épée[1] in my right hand, and my family didn’t think much of it. One day, an elder saw me and stopped me from practicing.

“He said that my form had yet to develop, so practicing martial arts like this will affect the balance in my entire body and leave fatal flaws in my movement.

“When I was 14 years old, there was another elder who gave pointers for my martial arts. At that time, he also said that…… I have a problem with my walking posture.”

Xu Feiyan used very concise language to create an image in Gu Nan’s mind of a female martial arts maniac who trained diligently but overreached herself.

Of course, what she didn’t say was that these two elders were both veteran Prodigious Realm experts, and it was usually rare to even see them in her family. Gu Nan was the third person to identify problems with her form.

Gu Nan nodded lightly. He had been immersed in constantly fighting for over ten years in his previous life. His fierce insight naturally wasn’t something ordinary people could compare to.

“It’s indeed a problem with your balance. When you walk, your right calf will subconsciously contract and walk slightly faster than your left. So when I aimed at one of the balance points, you couldn’t dodge it.”

“Coach, then what should I do?” Xu Feiyan’s face showed some eagerness and impatience.

Although she knew about this problem before, she didn’t expect that the problem could be so serious. ‘An enemy can actually take advantage of the difference in my walking speed and launch an attack that I cannot avoid?’

If Gu Nan knew her thoughts right now, he would definitely laugh involuntarily.

Because even if he ignored this, Gu Nan could still easily find dozens of flaws in her form and take advantage of them. It’s just that the problem with her right leg was the most obvious.

“It’s not hard to resolve,” Gu Nan said nonchalantly.

Xu Feiyan was stunned. ‘Not even that elder in my family told me how to fix it, but how come it’s so easy to fix for you?’

“Back then, you stopped in time, and your form wasn’t damaged. Now you just need to add weights to your left leg and readjust your balance.”

Xu Feiyan nodded slightly. This explanation seemed very simple. After thinking about it, she asked curiously, “Then what would it look like if my form was actually damaged?”

“One short leg and the other would obviously be longer.”

Xu Feiyan’s lips twitched slightly. She took a deep breath. “Then let’s start weight training.”

“What’s the hurry?” Gu Nan rolled his eyes. “Do you know how much weight to put? Do you know where to tie the weights to?

“Prepare the weight tools and a set of speed-measuring instruments. I’ll come back tomorrow evening,” Gu Nan commanded and left the training room without looking back.
