Yin Hu pulled out three technique scrolls. Each one as thick as his forearm and made to be studied for nearly a decade. But all they really carried in it were basic boxing skills. The Jab. The Cross. And then a couple combinations of the two, detailing rhythm and where you should be.

All in excruciating amounts of data and words.

"Grab these," Yin Hu held them out to Jun. "I will personally teach you all the basics of my Grand Hidden Technique of Ultimate Badassery. Then continue to follow up with these. Combinations and techniques all in one piece."

Jun's eyes shone like lanterns, nearly matching Shui's expression. She grabbed them gingerly. Holding them like they were worth more than anything she had ever seen in her life. Which to be fair, they probably were. Not much was worth anything in this bandit town.

"First and foremost! We must prepare ourselves!"

This was the first kung fu movie training scene he would experience as the master. Standing before disciples. Watching them punch and kick the exact way he had taught them. All moving in perfect sync. He could already see the mirage of tens of thousands. Shouting with every strike.

Yin Hu brushed his shoulders.

Both Hu Jun and Hu Shui copied him.

"Spread out a bit." He took a few steps back and got into a good stance.

The girls took a few steps away from one another. Watching with intent eyes. Studying his motions and everything else they could figure out just from what he had done already. Which wasn't much, but he knew how their gears turned. They were used to bullshit technique manuals that were unnecessarily obscure and confusing.

"You must have a perfect stance!"

"Yes, Ancestor!" They shouted back together. In sync.

It made Yin Hu smile. Satisfying and filling his chest with a warm feeling. A real step toward his ultimate goal right here before him. Real disciples. It hadn't really hit him until now. Even when leveling them up with his miraculous medicines and washes. There still had been a distance. Something that whispered that it could all go wrong.

But this was different. This was action and reaction to his direct orders without a second of doubt.

"Feet shoulder with! Bend your knees only slightly!"

Jun did exactly as she was told. Shui squatted instead.

"Wrong, Shui! Stand tall, and only bend them slightly!"

"Yes, Ancestor!"

It took a few tries to finally get through to Shui. She was still a child, even if her Spiritual Roots potential was much better than Juns. Practical experiences were still important. Especially if they were going to apply a new technique he was about to make up on the spot. Jun helped as well.

"Your non-dominant foot and hand forward! A strong foundation is the base you build your entire technique. Strong, stable, and capable of generating power without wasting energy! Learn to leverage the slightest movements with great efficiency to create the speed and heft you require to cause the most amount of damage!"

Both girls were in their base foundation. He walked up to them. Giving them a slight nudge and made sure they were balanced. Neither one toppled over. Yin Hu nodded to them and returned to his spot as their teacher. He got back into his boxing base stance.

"Shift your weight to the balls of your feet. You must learn to be bouncy. Athletic. Quick. Knees always slightly bent to dodge and strike without wasting energy! Channel your Qi to respond as you wish when you wish it!"

"Yes, ancestor!"

"Resist the temptation to straighten your knees!"

"Yes, ancestor!"

"Get into your Guardian of the Spirit Position!" Yin Hu brought his hands up in a basic form. Guard up. Both girls followed his guidance. "Hands loose, not tight in a fist. And then—"

Yin Hu snapped his arm forward. "Os! Os! Os!"

It always returned back into position as he bounced on his feet channeling his inner Mohammed Ali. Dancing back and forth, ducking and shifting to the left and right in perfect sequence. Leaning back and dodging imaginary foes. All like he had done a thousand times already on the island while he was alone.

Of course, he wasn't as wild and flamboyant as he usually was. Less movie kung fu-ie and more practical. He needed to be the perfect example for the two girls to follow and perfect the teachings. Anything extra he added made the situation worse, because he could forget it in the future.

Simplicity was the best.

He could teach them some kickboxing next.

"Always keep your other hand and elbow tucked! At all times! Prepared for defense and more advanced techniques! This is called the Viper's Path of Destructive Chaos and Returns—"

He jabbed three more times quick. Enjoying the whooshing sound it made with every single strike.

"And then—"

Yin Hu threw a one, two combo. Then did it again.

"This," he threw another cross. "Is the Ultimate Explosion of Flames and Fury technique. A basic finisher!"

It took a dozen attempts and reteachings for the two girls to finally get it down pat. Each one having their own struggles at different parts. Shui was unusually adept at the punching sequences and snapping her jab just like him. But had a significant issue with 'chicken elbow' issues they corrected.

Jun, on the other hand, did all the basics perfectly. No issues with foundation and stability, or the basic forms of the striking, defense, and forms. She took to it quickly. Her issue came when she had been forced to be more creative during battle.

Too used to strict forms and when they came in fights. Unused to the concept of adapting as the fight drew out and having a base of skills she could use creatively in different sequences. Yin Hu needed to forcefully make her create random combinations for a few hours just to get over it.

It had not been easy.

Yin Hu finally took a seat. Both girls were exhausted and would have been soaked in sweat had the robes not done their jobs and instantly cleaned them. On the floor leaning back on their hands or laying on their backs. Chest heaving and taking deep breaths.

Finally! I can finally relax. I need to tire them out more often so they can fall asleep like little kids!

He laughed to himself as he laid on the lounging chair. He put the wide brimmed hat back on and let his senses enter his rice bag. Yin Hu still needed to find a weapon that fit Jun well from among the thousands in his inventory.

Now was a better time than later. It would give her the time necessary to get used to the weight and abilities of the blade he would give her. Especially with how overpowered his usual blades were. He could imagine her cutting off her own leg by mistake if she had no practice with how deadly they were.

Yin Hu began his search. Reading the descriptions and names of every single one he could find even close to her attribute. Even things as remotely distant as Ash element weapons and Water. Maybe a sword would be better slightly off than her exact spiritual roots?

Best I give her something perfect rather than attempt to test and experiment.

Rather she does not explode in a mess of viscera and gore. Jun would be the base of his plans. The very first nuke he would develop in a world filled with nukes under every unturned stone. Hidden masters. Hidden sages. Hidden legends tired of posturing that only wanted silence and solitude. Just waiting for some idiot to bother them so they can blast their heads off.

Yin hu heard shifting from the girls.

"Hyah!" Shui shouted. Channeling the little Qi she had into another jab. "Hyah! Hyah! Hyah!"

Fuck!
