Unknowingly, Tang Rui had stayed in the Golden Tower for three days. During these three days, besides listening to music in Third Aunt's Beijing class, he would exchange martial arts with Mister Rui from time to time. Tang Rui's Internal Martial Arts Fist included the essence of Tai Chi, Xingyi, Bagua, and other internal martial arts. It had been refined by the martial arts legend Zhang Wuyi. It had long left the secular martial arts and had a broad path to go to a higher height.
It could be said that the idea was far-reaching. Although it still had the airs of ordinary martial arts, the Dao and reason inside were profound and far-reaching.
Tang Rui explained without reservation, and every exchange made Mister Rui sigh endlessly and gain some insights.
Later on, even the third sister of the Eight Trigrams Palm Sect participated. The three of them discussed martial arts and the current situation, letting Tang Rui know a lot of things. The other two also gained a lot.
The Eight Trigrams Palm was black! This was a principle that everyone who learned the Eight Trigrams Palm knew. They were good at attacking from the side, tearing down people's ancestral halls, and destroying people's faces. The Eight Trigrams were ever-changing, but all the changes could not escape one word, attack!
Tang Rui let Third Sister understand what it meant to have three lives and all things return to one. Not only did the fist technique have thousands of variations, but it also broke away from the original form and saw through thousands of variations.
……
Everyone in the Golden Tower knew that Mr. Tang, who had a deep understanding of martial arts, had come to the Golden Tower. Both Second Master, Mr. Rui, and Third Sister respected him and often discussed martial arts with him. However, they didn't see that Third Sister hadn't even sung much recently and had devoted herself to practicing boxing.
At first, Sir System even called out twice, but in the end, it also sacrificed itself and joined the two.
Tang Rui had also gained a lot in these three days. He had a better understanding of the martial artists of this era after conversing with two seniors who had practiced martial arts for many years, and his horizons had also broadened quite a bit.
Three days after Tang Rui closed his doors and did not come out of the Golden Tower, the Golden Tower became lively. It seemed that Old Master Gong of the Gong Family had arrived!
Knock, knock, knock!
"Sir, Old Master Gong is here. Why don't you follow me to take a look?”
Mr. Rui knocked on Tang Rui's door and invited him to see Gong Baosen's purpose for coming today. After all, there were still two days before he retired.
"Alright."
Tang Rui responded and followed Mister Rui to see the grandmaster's elegant demeanor.
As soon as he entered an elegant room on the second floor, he was pulled over by the person in charge of the Golden Tower and sat down beside him. He was quite enthusiastic.?
This caused many martial arts masters present to be surprised. This young man had an extraordinary temperament and looked unfamiliar. Everyone was secretly thinking about Tang Rui's background to make the three people in charge of the Golden Tower so enthusiastic. Some people even guessed that Tang Rui was related to Chen Jitang.
However, no one said anything. Everyone was quietly waiting for a person, a person who was like a big shot in the martial arts world.
……
"He's here!"
Following Mister Rui's whisper, Tang Rui saw an old man in a long black coat, a black top hat, and holding a winter plum blossom fan step in. As he walked, it was as if his feet were constantly touching the ground, and he was as steady as a pine tree.
His entire person was gentle, but he was not angry.
As soon as he sat down, his lapel swayed, giving off an indescribable charm. Every martial artist had their own characteristics. It could be due to their personality, their experiences, or even the fist techniques they practiced. As time passed, it would become more obvious, making the temperament of a martial master appear myriad. Like Mister Rui, Gong Baosen, Ye Wen, Gong Er and Ma San…
"I've only accomplished three things in my life. He merged the Xing Yi Sect and the Eight Trigrams Sect, took over my senior brother's position, and was in charge of the Chinese Martial Arts Association. He joined with more than ten sects such as Tongbei, Pao Chui, and Taiji Yanqing, and finally formed a northern boxing master to pass on his skills to the south..."
Gong Baosen carefully recalled the three things that made him the proudest in his life. Everyone listened carefully and nodded from time to time with approval and admiration.
"I was invited by the martial arts competition to hold another retirement ceremony here. I want to confess to my old brothers and comrades in the south!”
Speaking of this, Gong Baosen solemnly cupped his fists and bowed. Then, he continued," The person who helped me in the northeast is my eldest disciple, Ma San. He has taken over my shift. You all have to take care of him.”
Everyone understood what the old man meant. This meant that the person who accepted the old man's concession in the north was his eldest disciple, Ma San.
Everyone looked at the man standing behind Gong Baosen, who had sharp eyes and a strong temperament. He was Gong Baosen's successor, Ma San. They applauded and congratulated him.
"At the retirement ceremony here, I think the person who helped me was a Southern boxer. Of course, everyone has to approve of him. Pick one."
After Gong Baosen finished talking about everything and the purpose of holding the retirement ceremony, everyone began to talk lively.
Gong Baosen was the leader of the largest sect in the martial arts world at the moment. His every move was of great importance. He chose to retire in a hurry before he could cultivate the next generation of successors. It was known that the retirement of a powerful figure was always accompanied by some instability or even riots.
And he still did so. His goal was to use the retirement ceremony to let the outstanding young martial artists in the south establish a reputation within the industry and spread the martial arts of the south to the north of the country, forming an open and prosperous situation in the martial arts world.
"The old man is trying to help the newcomers. It's called a retirement ceremony, but it's actually a chance for the newcomers to establish their prestige in the martial arts world and lead the heroes. Giving his reputation to the younger generation was really magnanimous!”
Mr. Rui explained Gong Baosen's intention for this trip to Tang Rui in a low voice. After all, Tang Rui had lived overseas for a long time and did not understand the current situation in the martial arts world. He was afraid that he would not understand his actions, so he explained it to him.
Tang Rui nodded and continued,"I can see that Old Master Gong wants to make the Southern Fist Master famous and spread it to the world." In this way, whether it was spreading the Southern Fist to the North or letting the new successor stand out, it was killing two birds with one stone.”
"Sir is right. The North will let their disciples take the lead, while the South will choose their own capable fighters. This way, no matter what the result is, no one will have any objections.”
At the same time, the martial masters below were also discussing this matter.
This time, it concerned the honor of all the southern boxers. If they failed, it would be a huge loss of face. Moreover, it was not just one person's face that would be lost, but the face of all the southern boxers.
After all, he was recommended by everyone, which meant that he was the best in martial arts and martial arts ethics among everyone. He represented everyone.
Therefore, he had to be careful!
??? Everyone discussed in low voices. Although they didn't say it explicitly, everyone had a candidate in mind. His strength, martial arts morality, and bearing were what everyone expected-Wing Chun, Ye Wen!
???
Gong Baosen then left the Golden Tower, leaving behind a group of boxers who were still discussing the contents of the conversation.
"I believe that everyone has the same candidate in mind for this act.”
Mister Rui sighed.
"Oh? Who can bear this responsibility?" Tang Rui pretended to be puzzled. Although he knew that it would be Ye Wen who would stand up for him, this retirement ceremony was the beginning of his path to becoming a grandmaster.
However, he couldn't say it, and it was more troublesome to explain.
"There is also a great talent in my Buddha Mountain. Not only is his martial arts attainments extraordinary, he is even more powerful than us old fellows. Even his martial arts virtue and bearing are first-class figures. His teacher is Chen Huashun, and he is his last disciple. Wing Chun was also a small type of boxing in the south. Its moves were simple. There were only three axes-Tan, Bang, Fu, and three punches-Little Thought, Seeking Bridge, and Finger. The weapons were eight knives and six and a half sticks. However, Chen Huashun was also a great master. He had made Wing Chun Fist no weaker than any other fist technique. Now, Ye Wen had even learned the true essence of his master's Samadhi. To be honest, even I couldn't compare to this young man. If I were 10 or 20 years younger, I would be able to compete with him.”
"Wing Chun Ye Wen? If there was a chance, he hoped that he could spar with him.”
In this world and this era, there weren't many people that Tang Rui wished to fight with. Putting aside the hidden experts among the people that he didn't know, Ye Wen was one of the people that he knew.
"Haha, don't worry, sir. Since you're interested, I'll definitely introduce you.”
......
One day, Tang Rui was practicing boxing in his room when he suddenly heard a loud bang from outside the door. Then, a strong and domineering voice entered his ears.
"With this little ability, you dare to challenge the old master? Why don't we do it together!"
Then, there was another commotion."Beat him up!"
"Go!" "How arrogant!"
Tang Rui opened the door and saw four or five people lying on the ground moaning. One of them was sent flying by a punch and crashed into him.
He drew a circle and caught the person firmly in his hand. The person did not hit the door.
"Hmm?"
When Ma San saw Tang Rui easily stabilize the person he had just sent flying with a single palm strike, his eyes immediately narrowed, revealing a dangerous expression.
However, seeing that Tang Rui did not make any further moves and just stood there quietly and watched, Ma San did not choose to make a move.
He said to the boxer in front of the crowd,""Go back and tell that Ye guy that I was the one who helped Old Master at the retirement ceremony in the north! To enter the temple to worship Buddha, you must first enter the mountain gate to see the true Buddha."
"You have to ask me first!"
Ma San's gaze was like a sword piercing through the forest, and his tone was extremely serious.
Upon hearing this, all the boxers present felt as if they had been provoked. They were burning with anger and were about to attack when they were stopped by the leader, Zhou Wenshou.
He was more worried. Not only was Ma San skilled, but he was also Old Master Gong's eldest disciple. He represented the Gong family. With so many people attacking at the same time, it was another matter whether they could win or not. Even if they won, it would not be good to hear about it.
Moreover, it was a special period now, so it was not easy to have conflicts.
Although everyone was furious, they were not unreasonable people. After a while, they calmed down and did not cause any more trouble.
However, he would definitely lose face!
After Ma Sanli finished showing off his power, he turned around and left after saying these words. He did not care about the feelings of the people present. When he led them away, he even glanced at Tang Rui with a probing and a little hostility in his eyes.
He did not have a good impression of the boxers here, and Tang Rui was no exception!
With a light smile, Tang Rui turned around and returned to his room to continue practicing his boxing.
Ma San was still a little weak to him, so he didn't even have the desire to make a move. Old Master Gong was more like it.
Tang Rui had also planned to compete with Gong Baosen after he had finished comparing his ideas with Ye Wen at the retirement ceremony and confirmed that he was the head of the southern martial arts world. He wanted to see the difference between the top grandmasters of this era and himself.
