Huayu 93, I'm the ceiling of combat power from the moment I appear.

Martial arts training and massage have never been separate activities.

When He Xi was learning from those older brothers and teachers, she also learned some massage techniques.

Although not many, some simple sprains and bruises can be treated by oneself without seeing a doctor.

His previous massages for Liu Hongmei weren't just random tinkering; they were based on some theoretical foundation.

As soon as he started working, Mai Jiaqi was amazed.

Those hands were like a fascia stick or a massage gun, instantly easing her tightly furrowed brows.

Not only did the pain in my muscles and bones after doing the splits subside, but I also felt a little comfortable.

Mai Jiaqi couldn't help but let out a "humph".

Although the sound wasn't loud, it was particularly noticeable in the empty room.

Mai Jiaqi's face instantly turned red, which couldn't be hidden by her dark complexion.

"Brother Xi, I didn't..."

"Take a deep breath; it's normal to feel pain."

He Xi interrupted her explanation and comforted her with a smile.

"You've already overcome the toughest first hurdle. After that, practicing other moves will be much easier."

"However, relaxation after exercise is essential."

"Otherwise, it's easy to leave sequelae, affecting your future motor training. In severe cases, it can even affect your physique and walking posture."

"We absolutely cannot let our guard down!"

"This is Ququan (LI4), and this is Xiguan (LI15). Massaging these two acupoints can relax your knees..."

"This is Zhongdu, Ligou..."

He Xi continued to massage while explaining.

Mai Jiaqi covered her mouth and nodded vigorously, but her eyes didn't look at the area being massaged. Instead, she kept glancing at He Xi's face.

The more she looked, the redder her face became.

When He Xi finished massaging around her knees and calves and stopped, Mai Jiaqi's face was as red as a monkey's bottom.

"Alright, that's about enough."

"Take care of yourself and get plenty of rest; you'll recover quickly."

"And then you'll find that not only will you no longer feel pain, but you'll also become stronger!"

He Xi finished speaking and was about to get up when Mai Jiaqi grabbed her arm.

"Brother Xi, you... haven't finished pushing it yet!"

"You only massaged my knee and calf; that's not where my main injury is located."

He Xi smiled and shook her head.

"I'll tell you the location of the acupoints. You can massage them yourself using the technique I just used."

"It's inconvenient for us after all."

Mai Jiaqi did not let go; her attitude was very firm.

"No, my brain isn't very good. I can't remember or learn it. It's better if you do it."

"Brother Xi, please help me, I beg you!"

[Ding! Quest triggered: 'Help actress Mai Jiaqi with a thigh massage.' Do you accept?]

Mai Jiaqi's attitude was too sincere, and she had also triggered a mission, so He Xi naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Okay, I'll only do it once. Watch carefully this time. Learning these techniques will benefit your future studies and training."

He Xi bent down again and began to push up the spot she hadn't been able to reach before.

A dozen minutes later, some discordant sounds emerged in the quiet, enclosed practice room.

Learning martial arts is different from academic classes; it's not simply about sitting there listening to a teacher and doing exercises in a notebook.

Students need to perform many different types of movements based on the teacher's instructions.

Furthermore, students should provide timely and effective feedback to the teacher's instructions and corrections.

During this process, bumps, bruises, and even injuries and bleeding are inevitable.

To master unparalleled martial arts, one must endure pain that ordinary people cannot bear.

This is not just a casual remark.

Fortunately, Mak Ka-ki is quite strong. Even when she gets hurt, she doesn't back down, and she doesn't stop even when she bleeds.

This gave He Xi, the teacher, a great sense of accomplishment in teaching.

He Xi felt apologetic and somewhat surprised about her injury.

"I was just tricked into taking those photos back then; I didn't do anything too outrageous, but the people outside won't give me a chance to explain..."

Mai Jiaqi said with a wronged expression.

Faced with the bloody "reality," He Xi chose to believe.

However, compared to Mai Jiaqi's past, He Xi is more concerned about her reward at this moment.

[Ding! Helping actress Mai Jiaqi completely leave behind her past and start a new life has earned you a special reward: 'Card Flying Technique'.]

Flying cards is a technique for playing poker, but it's not the card skills and cheating methods that He Xi just learned from the dealer on set.

It is a technique that uses a special grip and wrist strength to control the card to fly out and achieve stable rotation.

Simply put, it's the technique seen in movies where you throw out playing cards and use them as projectiles to attack your enemy.

On the original short video platform, some people have shared similar card-throwing skills, such as using playing cards to pop balloons, extinguish candles, and cut fruit from a distance of several meters.

He Xi's card-flying technique surpasses even that of the bloggers.

It can basically shoot through a watermelon within a ten-meter range, and it hits exactly where you point it.

Beyond 20 meters, accuracy decreases and penetration power is halved.

Beyond 30 meters, it's practically impossible for them to cause any damage.

This is already a severe punishment.

It's no exaggeration to say that with this card-throwing technique, He Xi could easily slit a person's throat from a distance of about ten meters.

If it were metal playing cards...

"hiss!"

He Xi couldn't help but gasp.

He's clearly only involved in Hong Kong entertainment, so why does his style suddenly seem a bit different?

Isn't this card-throwing technique something that only appears in Hong Kong variety shows?

What use is this card-flying technique to him?

Should I go out and become a vigilante to fight crime and protect the peace, and be a good neighbor of Hong Kong Island?

No, that's not quite right. Perhaps it could be considered a special talent to showcase when promoting a movie or appearing on a TV show.

It should attract a lot of fans then.

He Xi pondered silently, while at the same time his fingers seemed to have their own ideas, beginning to wander along Mai Jiaqi's movements.

Moreover, when passing through some key areas, he subconsciously used some special finger techniques from the card-flying art.

Then, Mak Ka-ki became Mak Ka-kei.

The flames of war reignited instantly...

Seven days later, He Xi left the crew of "God of Gamblers II: The Final Battle".

He stayed on set for a total of ten days, three days longer than originally planned.

The extra three days were basically spent serving as Mai Jiaqi's personal action coach and acting teacher.

With his help, Mak Ka-ki has made great progress in both action and dramatic scenes, making her more than capable of handling the role of the fourth female lead.

And every day is incredibly fulfilling!

In the end, she was very reluctant to let him go and even offered to pay for his continued private tutoring herself.

However, He Xi had no choice but to leave.

Jet Li has a new movie starting production, and he was specifically asked to help out by playing a villainous role.
