He was practicing spear throwing by the campfire.
It was already night, and his right arm was in a great deal of pain.
There is a big difference between being skilled and unskilled in practice.
If skilled, it can be used in combat; if unskilled, it can only be used to test one's luck.
If he wanted to fight Old Hu and the leopard, he had to learn to use the spear proficiently.
Therefore, the amount of training was very large.
He thought that engaging in close combat with them with a spear was a risky thing and that it was best to resolve the battle as much as possible before they got close.
Six spears. If used well, he could defeat Old Hu without getting injured.
But that required endless practice.
He used branches to make a fake leopard, placing it in the courtyard. He threw the spear repeatedly.
The same action repeated endlessly. Unbelievable patience, not resting even when tired.
