Complete silence fell over the martial arts school. Even the women conversing in the nearby rest area unconsciously turned their attention to the scene, their speech forgotten.
"Stone, are you alright?"
Chen Qiu Ye and Wang Yue Lan were quick to react, rushing over with concern.
"I'm good, just used a bit too much force," Li Shi reassured them with a glance, before turning to Lin Zong Yue at his side, apologizing, "I'm sorry, Director Lin, I got carried away and didn't control my strength. I've damaged your wooden dummy, I'll pay for it."
It was only natural to compensate for damaging someone else's property.
But Lin Zong Yue, as if he hadn't heard Li Shi, walked up to a spot some four or five meters away from the wooden dummy, picking up the broken arm from the ground to examine it.
The severed joint was covered with jagged wooden spikes. It was obvious that it was a fresh break.
Returning to the wooden dummy with it, he tried to reattach the arm, finding it fit perfectly.
