Unexpectedly, Zoc really knelt down. Basil Jaak quickly reached out his hand to stop him.
"Zoc, what on earth are you trying to do?" Basil Jaak asked.
Zoc replied blushing, "Please teach me real kung fu, Jaak."
"Ah, it's not that I don't want to teach you. It's just that real kung fu is extremely tough training. I worry that you can't handle it," responded Basil Jaak, shaking his head with a sigh.
"Jaak, you just tell me what to do. Even if it means climbing a mountain of swords or descending into a sea of flames, I will follow you!" Zoc said, clenching his fists determinedly.
Seeing Zoc full of confidence, Basil Jaak couldn't refuse anymore. He decided to teach him some basic skills and let him have a taste of the hardship, hoping he would back down.
"Do you know what martial artists value most?" Basil Jaak asked.
Zoc blurted out, "Internal strength!"
