Huo Ting 'en and Chen Zhen wanted to bring Li Shuwen to Jingwu Sect. However, due to the sectarianism of martial arts, in the end, Bai Yifeng paid for a courtyard and rented it to practice martial arts with Li Shuwen.
Bai Yifeng was quick-witted and did not lack money. Naturally, he served good wine and food every day.
Li Shuwen also quietly noticed that this shameless kid seemed to not forget anything he heard and could remember everything he saw. He was also very diligent in martial arts. Although they were not master and disciple, he still had the heart to teach him.
However, this training was a little too perverted. Every day, he stood in a stance until his waist and knees were sore and weak. After that, he had to keep hitting wooden stakes and walls according to Li Shuwen's requirements. It was more than ten times harder than practicing martial arts with Chen Zhen.
"Alright, that's all for today." Before Li Shuwen could finish his sentence, Bai Yifeng sat on the ground with sweat all over his body as if he had lost all his bones.
"Senior, do you still want me to live? You didn't say anything and you've already trained to this extent. Let's make a deal and I'll treat you to a good meal.”Bai Yifeng begged with a bitter face.
Li Shuwen was already used to this kid's unreasonable side and did not mind.""I only said that I'll stop here for today's basic training. Originally, this basic training would take at least half a year, but I won't be staying in Shanghai for long, so I might as well teach you Bajiquan today.”
"As the saying goes, you can't leave your mouth or your hands. Practicing boxing is like rowing a boat against the current. If you want to achieve success in martial arts, you have to keep practicing these basic skills.”
Then, he explained while playing once, and then let Bai Yifeng go out to try.
In the end, he was shocked when he tried it. After just one look, Bai Yifeng had restored 90% of it, and he was still one point away from the mystery and essentials of Bajiquan.
This time, Li Shuwen was moved. He immediately explained the essentials of Bajiquan's movements and the secret of exerting force to Bai Yifeng in detail. He also told him that he could not teach it to others without his permission. Then, he let Bai Yifeng practice it himself and went into his room to rest.
Early the next morning, Li Shuwen and Bai Yifeng called out to him and asked him to practice the Bajiquan that he had learned yesterday. After Bai Yifeng finished practicing, Li Shuwen remained silent for a long time.
In the following days, Li Shuwen taught him everything he knew. Bai Yichen also found someone to forge a great steel spear. Although the two of them were not master and disciple, Bai Yichen understood that Li Shuwen did not want to have too many ties. Bai Yifeng was also such a person, so the two of them tacitly did not say anything.
Under Li Shuwen's guidance, Bai Yifeng improved significantly. In the courtyard, Bai Yichen stopped practicing because Chen Zhen and Huo Tingen had arrived. Funakoshi Fumio had already arrived in Shanghai, and the date of the martial arts competition was approaching.
The few of them began to ask Li Shuwen about martial arts.
Li Shuwen said," Which Chinese martial arts is not refined by our predecessors? Those that can be removed have long been removed. It is easier said than done to integrate them. For example, the famous Internal Martial Arts Grandmaster Sun Lutang only claims to have mastered the three types of Internal Martial Arts, Taiji, Eight Trigrams, and Xingyi."
Chen Zhen still disagreed with Li Shuwen's statement."I believe that every martial art has its own merits. Why don't we martial artists abandon our sectarianism and combine the merits of these martial arts into one? Wouldn't that help us advance our martial arts cultivation?”
Li Shuwen shook his head." Your so-called 'just moves' is not something as superficial as martial arts cultivation. In the world, close combat techniques are wrestling techniques and the so-called soft way of the Japanese. I heard that you studied in Japan and have some understanding of judo."”
Li Shuwen continued," Do you believe that no one in the world can make me fall when I'm standing in the Horse Stance? Not even wrestling."”
These words made everyone feel a little arrogant.
Old Master Li saw through their thoughts and immediately walked to the martial arts field. He said to Chen Zhen,"Try and see if you can make me move.”
Chen Zhen was not convinced. He went up, pulled, and pushed Li Shuwen, but he could not move him at all. Li Shuwen then asked Huo Tingen and Bai Yifeng to join in and push him. However, under the strength of the three of them, Old Master Li's feet were firmly rooted to the ground like the roots of an old tree.
The three of them were convinced!
Old Master Li stood up and said to the three of them,"Martial arts cultivation doesn't just refer to the moves, but also the qi and blood. Force is also the method of exerting force. As the saying goes, one's strength can defeat ten. No matter how good your judo and wrestling skills are, no one can touch me if I'm stuck here.”
Li Shuwen looked at the shocked Chen Zhen.""You can't touch me, but I can touch you. Do you still remember when I bumped into you? Pole-standing can be used to attack or defend, to advance or retreat, to be firm or soft. Just this pole-standing requires a lifetime of practice. Therefore, martial arts cultivation doesn't care how much martial arts essence you have integrated, but how much effort you have put into this martial art and how much experience you have.”
" Also, not every set of martial arts is suitable for everyone. For example, those with long legs and strong muscles are more suitable for kicking and poking. Those with short legs and amazing upper body strength are more suitable for physical boxing. Therefore, a set of martial arts varies from person to person. If those with short legs insist on practicing leg techniques, their achievements will definitely be limited.”
Bai Yifeng instantly understood this sentence. It was taught according to one's aptitude.
Martial arts alone was not enough. Bai Yifeng was also restless. Chen Zhen and Huo Ting 'en happened to be here, and he wanted to see his own progress.
Bai Yifeng VS Huo Tingen
Both of them were using the Huo Family Style. Bai Yifeng was getting more and more excited as he fought, while Huo Tingen was getting more and more shocked as the power coming from his junior brother's fist was getting stronger and stronger.
Bai Yifeng seemed to be possessed. Suddenly, he used Bajiquan to smash Huo Tingen's face. Chen Zhen was shocked and wanted to stop him, but it was too late!
At this moment, a rough hand grabbed Bai Yichen's wrist with a bang. Chen Zhen and Huo Ting 'en both heaved a sigh of relief and broke out in cold sweat.
Bai Yifeng was stunned." Is Eldest Senior Brother alright? I couldn't control the strength in my entire body. I couldn't take it."
Huo Tingen forced a smile and said,"I'm fine."
Li Shuwen smiled." I can't blame you. I didn't expect you to be so talented. You only practiced with me for a few days, and you've already mastered martial arts. Don't worry, you've already started. If you practice hard in the future, you'll definitely achieve something."”
" Fifth Senior Brother, it's not good. Guang Zi has been taken away by the Japanese," a disciple of the Jingwu Sect rushed in and said.
