Chapter 32: Soothing a Troubled Heart

The brisk autumn morning in the capital city was especially cool. After getting dressed, Yusuf Zuck practiced a set of martial arts routines in the courtyard. Having attended a physical education school, he knew many martial arts forms, although most of them were purely for show and not really applicable in a real fight.

But after completing the set, he had warmed up all his muscles and joints thoroughly.

In fact, the earliest martial arts were indeed for health cultivation, with the primary purpose of strengthening the body and maintaining health.

"That routine you did looks really impressive. What's it called?" Just as he finished his movements, Ruth Wilcox's voice chimed in at the right moment. She was leaning against the doorway, a look of curiosity on her face.

Yusuf Zuck answered with a smile, "Tongbei Quan."

"You're amazing, the most amazing person I've ever seen," Ruth Wilcox praised. "Even more impressive than those martial arts stars in the movies."
