12 Chapter 12
The next day, Steve resigned from his job at the factory and moved into the school to start his apprenticeship.
What no one noticed was the latest headlines. "Brooklyn mafia leader 'mad dog' Johnny and more than ten of his associates were killed in his base camp last night."
Shen did not personally teach Steve yet, but let him first learn a few basic skills such as the horse stance and others.
Shen's fighting technique revolves around his physical levels which is far beyond ordinary people. He combines his strength with simple, direct and fast moves.
Because of his overwhelming strength, it isn't ideal for him to handle Steve's basic training, so he lets his employees handle it since they are better suited for the job.
Steve first learned the basics under Shen's employees such as how to exercise or how to throw a punch. in order to make up for the body's deficit, and lay a good foundation.
Although his body is very poor, he has the perseverance which is far superior to ordinary people. Even if his muscles are painful and his body is crumbling, he will just grit his teeth until he completes the training task.
These basic skills were perfected by countless predecessors. After years of continuous accumulation and improvement, a systematic and reasonable exercise method is born, which not only improves muscle strength, but also enhances the toughness of internal organs and comprehensively improves overall physical fitness.
Even people with poor physiques can gradually improve and gradually become stronger. Totally unlike those seen in novels where the mc would train their bodies to the point of collapse, which only serves to give yourself hidden injuries.
A few months later, Steve's body was obviously becoming stronger, but of course it was only compared to him in the past.
At least now he doesn't pant after a couple of steps, as he used to, and he's starting to take on muscles.
"Shifu, when will you start teaching me martial arts?" Steve asked Shen with desire and adoration filled eyes after seeing him defeat the four martial artists.
After defeating mad dog Johnny, the reputation of the martial arts hall spread in Brooklyn. Although Johnny and others were killed the very same night, there were still people who had escaped from the base camp that night, and spread the story of the day.
According to the survivors, in addition to the four highly capable masters in the martial arts hall, the boss of the martial arts hall is even more like a god, in a blink of an eye, and even a few shots, he shot Johnny and his men.
Those smart enough, know that the death of Johnny and others that night is likely connected to the martial arts hall, and only the other two mafia families are sure that the killer is from there.
Because of the wealth of the martial arts hall, they have always sent people to secretly observe, so they were there the night Johnny fled the scene with his men.
According to the observer, in the middle of the night, a figure jumped out from the third floor and landed on the roof of the next building, the figure then jumped roof to roof until it disappeared. Time is very consistent with the time when Johnny and others were killed. Moreover, their surveillance is likely to be discovered long ago. Before the figure left, he glanced at the place where they were hiding. The people who were watching at that time only felt a cold shiver down their spines.
This is a warning!
The two major families cancelled all their plans for the martial arts hall, and strictly prevented their people from messing with them.
As the old rivals of Johnny, no one knows more about the strength of Johnny than them. Although he is the weakest of the three forces, the nickname of "mad dog" is not for show.
Johnny is crazier and more hot blooded than them, though under all that hides a fox-like cunning and cautiousness. His group is also made up of hot blooded individuals, who would fight with anyone without hesitation. Under the leadership of Johnny, their effectiveness only increased.
And although they are small, they always stay together, and spend the night in their base camp. They were very cautious, not giving anyone the chance to pick them off one by one .
If you want to completely remove these madmen, you have to pay a lot of money. This is why although they are not as good as the other two mafia families, they could still occupy a place in Brooklyn.
But now, the most troublesome "mad dog" Johnny, and his elites were first defeated by several people, and subsequently assassinated inside their base camp by none other than the Chinese "Fat sheep" that they have been eyeing.
With the spread of their reputation, some people began to visit. After learning the strength of several martial artists, they were more than willing to pay tuition and learn. Prompting Shen to hire more employees.
Watching the younger brothers begin to learn martial arts with their respective teachers, Steve can only walk to the corner of the hall where his master often is, all the way feeling anxious.
Listening to a foreigner call him "Shifu" was awkward, but since this was coming from the future captain america he let it slide.
"Why are you impatient to learn martial arts?" Shen took on the tone of a master.
"In order to become stronger, so that I can join the army." Steve said with an excited glint in his eyes. This is his long-cherished dream. Unfortunately, his body was too weak so he keeps getting sent back.
"Will you join the army to kill some nazis?" Shen asked, staring straight at Steve's eyes.
"No, I don't want to kill anyone, I just want to protect my country." Steve shook his head.
"What would you do if your country and my country were at war?"
"A war? I don't think I will go," Steve said gravely.
"What if your motherland ordered you to go?"
"I..."
Seeing Steve unable to answer, Shen patted him on the shoulder. "Just don't be used by politicians, and don't limit your eyes to a single country. I hope your dream would be like mine."
"Shifu, what is your dream?" Steve was very curious about this.
"My dream is world peace."
Steve stared at him with a look of admiration and then proceeded to think about the conversation that they had.
Shen smiled and sat down on the sofa, waiting for old Eddie to brew some coffee for him.
The next day, Steve officially began to learn Shen's techniques.
He has to admit that Steve is really talented in fighting, under Shen's careful guidance, his self-confidence and fighting ability progressed quickly, although his strength is weaker than the other students, he would still be the final winner in their spars.
Fighting skills aside, Steve's most important asset is his fearlessness and will to defeat his opponent.
He would stand up again and again until he defeats his opponent.
Slowly, the other students were unwilling to spar with him again. His only choice is to spar with the teachers. Of course, the result is always miserable, but he would still improve by leaps and bounds.
In a blink of an eye, April 1943, Shen has been in this world for more than a year.
Winter is turning to spring, and marks a new beginning.
Shen was wearing a light and soft sweater, while sitting comfortably on the sofa in front of the window, looking at the cold streets outside the window, holding a cup of old Eddie's freshly brewed coffee, and taking a sip from time to time.
"Where is that Steve kid going? Is he finally being lazy?." Shen asked Albert jokingly.
"You have been reluctant to let him sign up for the army. Today, a student passed the conscription examination and was officially enlisted. Steve was quite lost so I let him go out to watch a movie." Old Albert said with a smile, his face could not help but reveal his affection, he also likes Steve, a simple and kind young man.
"He's not ready yet." Shen shook his head and continued to lean on the sofa, enjoying the peace at the moment.
"But soon, he would be."
