Chu Xun complained in his heart, "This steel plate is heavy and thick, it's so hard to push open. uncle Kun, why didn't you choose a lighter and thinner one when you made it?"
As the steel plate was moved aside, the light from the ceiling chandelier poured into the space inside like seawater, and a straight ladder embedded in the wall below could be vaguely seen.
He kicked the switch hidden under the bar counter, turned on the lighting in the space below, and abandoned the direct ladder, jumping down instead.
uncle Kun took out a key, opened a drawer at the bar counter. Inside, there were various scattered records, including single CDs, album CDs, compilations, and even some rare cassettes. A notebook lay conspicuously among the records. The notebook's pages were yellowed, the corners curled, the spine cracked, and the black paper glue was slightly exposed. It seemed the notebook had been around for some time and had been frequently read.
uncle Kun took out a notebook, tucked it into his chest, locked the drawer, and climbed down the straight ladder. After only a few steps, he remembered Chu Xun who had jumped down earlier, stood on the ladder, lit a cigarette, sighed contentedly, and then also abandoned the ladder, jumping directly down. He was already in his forties at this time, but landed very lightly, with a graceful and agile posture, as if he were a young man.
He landed in a corridor. After landing, he casually turned the switch on the wall to close the steel plate above his head, walked along the corridor, descended a row of steps at the corner, and then arrived in an underground room.
The basement is quite spacious, with rows of powerful lights installed on the ceiling. The floor is covered with rubber commonly used in sports arenas, and there is a circular track laid near the edge, with a small platform standing just outside. Three track cars are parked on the track, each carrying an unidentified device. In one corner of the basement, there is a pool with shower facilities nearby.
Chu Xun is currently standing in the center of the basement. The strong light from the ceiling shines on him, making him look like an actor in a stage play.
"Let's begin!" uncle Kun stood outside the track, flicked the cigarette ash, signaled Chu Xun to get ready, and then started the first track car. After a moment, the second car was started, and then after another moment, the third one was started.
The track cars were powered by electricity, and their speeds gradually stabilized as they moved along the circular track at a constant speed. The intervals at which the three track cars were started seemed to have been calculated, as when their speeds stabilized, their distances from each other were exactly the same. uncle Kun waited for the track cars' speeds to stabilize, then walked up to the outer platform and took out a device resembling a switch from his pocket, and pressed the three buttons in sequence.
As his finger pressed down, the three devices on the track car started in succession. The engine began to turn, humming loudly. Then came a muffled "bang," followed by two more "bangs." Three spherical black shadows quickly shot out from the devices on the track car, creating a gust of wind as they flew like cannonballs, aiming at Chu Xun standing in the center of the basement from three different directions.
Chu Xun slightly leaned to the side, avoiding the first shadow; then he straightened his body, quickly stabilizing his center of gravity, and leaned to the side again to avoid the second one; immediately after, he quickly bent down to avoid the third one.
He completed three actions in a very short time. Three dark shadows were seen passing by Chu Xun's arm, shoulder, and back in succession, then heavily hitting the wall of the basement.
The dark shadows hit the wall, deforming sharply due to the tremendous impact force, then quickly returned to their original state, falling to the ground, bouncing up and down a few times, and finally rolling to the side, slowly coming to a stop. In the bright light, the spherical object appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary tennis ball.
Chu Xun dodged three tennis balls, then quickly adjusted his body. At this moment, three more tennis balls whistled towards him one after another. Due to the movement of the track car and the change in the ejection device's position, the direction of the three tennis balls in this round was different from the previous three.
In an extremely short period of time, he made three consecutive movements to dodge three more tennis balls. Then, three more tennis balls came flying from different directions.
A year ago, under the arrangement of uncle Kun, he began to receive training in dodging tennis balls. This training aims to improve the coordination of the body and eyes, body control, and instant reaction ability. The three tennis balls are launched with extremely short intervals and come from three different angles.
For him, the first ball is easy to avoid, but the challenging part is the consecutive second and third balls. At the beginning of the training, he often failed to adjust his body posture in time due to excessive dodging movements, successfully avoiding the first ball but getting hit by the following second and third balls. Or he was hit because it was difficult to predict the direction of the tennis balls coming from the blind spot in his line of sight.
He soon realized that in order to avoid all three tennis balls, he must not make exaggerated dodging movements. Only by doing so could he predict the direction of the subsequent tennis balls and make continuous movements to avoid the other two.
Knowing is one thing, but being able to do it is another. At the beginning of the training, he inevitably got hit by the tennis balls. He could only dodge on one side while being hit, and in this training, he honestly absorbed the experience of dodging with his body. After a few months, his ability to control his body greatly improved, and he was able to smoothly dodge the three tennis balls that came one after the other with very small continuous movements.
uncle Kun saw that the training effect was quite good, and was momentarily happy, so he immediately increased the difficulty of the training by shortening the time interval for launching three tennis balls. From then on, the training entered the second phase. Although the time interval for launching was only slightly shorter than before, the difficulty increased significantly. Chu Xun has been practicing continuously for several months and is currently still in the second phase.
Chu Xun watched as the third round of tennis balls whizzed towards him. According to the direction of the tennis balls, his body reacted again, avoiding the three tennis balls. Then he prepared to face the next round of flying tennis balls.
For a moment, the basement was filled with the whistling of tennis balls, the continuous sound of the rebounding device, and occasional dull thuds as Chu Xun was hit by the tennis balls.
