Others are still immersed in grief, and some disciples even plan to leave Jingwu Sect.
People who come to Jingwu Sect to learn martial arts are basically because of Huo Yuanjia's reputation.
Now that Huo Yuanjia is dead, they have no hope.
Huo Tingen is very good, but there is still a big gap between his martial arts and Huo Yuanjia.
Even if Nong Jinsun and Huo Tingen persuaded them to stay, they would still leave.
…
Huo Yuanjia's funeral was completed and the coffin was buried.
But the mourning hall in Jingwu Sect has not been removed.
In just the past few days, the owners of four martial arts schools have come to challenge Jingwu Sect.
Huo Ting'en always wins by a narrow margin every time he plays. At this moment, Huo Ting'en felt that his martial arts was not enough to support the entire Jingwu Sect.
Fortunately, I was lucky and won every time.
Winning a few times doesn’t mean much.
As long as they lose once, the reputation of Jingwu Sect will plummet. The foundation and reputation that Huo Yuanjia built in Shanghai will be wasted.
Huo Ting'en felt great pressure.
in the kitchen.
Chen Kang is cutting vegetables.
After improving his control over his arms and being able to deliver penetrating punches, Chen Kang's skin became very sensitive to touch.
Even if there is no wind in the room, the hairs on Chen Kang's arms seem to be able to feel the slight movement of air. In fact, Chen Kang didn't know that this was "Ting Jin" in traditional Chinese martial arts.
This "listening" is not done with the ears, but with the heart and the touch of the skin.
Until this moment, Chen Kang's martial arts was truly introductory.
"Bang bang bang..."
Chen Kang's chopping movements are not large and very rhythmic. Afterimages appeared on the kitchen knife.
Chen Kang secretly said: "I have made a breakthrough in martial arts, and I didn't expect that my knife skills for cutting vegetables have become so much stronger. Not only my knife skills, but also my cooking, spooning, and control of the heat have also become stronger." "
The body is the capital of revolution.
Physical fitness is the foundation of martial arts.
As his physical fitness improved, Chen Kang could cook almost twice as fast, and his meals became more delicious.
Therefore, Chen Kang can save more time to practice martial arts.
Fry the last dish.
Chen Kang said: "Xiao Hui, tell everyone, get ready for lunch."
Xiao Hui nodded and said: "I will inform everyone to eat now."
…
night.
Huo Ting'en came back smelling of alcohol, and his steps were a little frivolous.
Chen Kang had just finished practicing boxing in the yard.
Seeing Huo Ting'en, Chen Kang frowned slightly.
Chen Kang said: "Senior Brother, you are not in Jingwu Sect today. In the afternoon, two martial arts schools sent greeting invitations."
Huo Ting'en sneered: "What greeting? It's a challenge."
Chen Kang nodded and said, "Yes. They will challenge Jingwu Sect tomorrow."
Huo Tingen said angrily: "It's too much to bully others. We are all Chinese and part of the Shanghai martial arts community. They don't think about how to deal with foreigners, but they only target Jingwu Sect. When my father was alive..."
When Huo Yuanjia was alive, the owners of those martial arts schools seemed to have a good relationship with the Jingwu Sect.
But the problem is, Huo Yuanjia passed away.
In recent days, Huo Ting'en often stayed up late at night and hung out outside.
Huo Yuanjia had just passed away, and Huo Tingen was like this. It really shouldn't have happened.
Huo Tingen is the senior brother of Jingwu Sect. Even if he has fallen and wants to escape, Chen Kang has no right to criticize him.
In the entire Jingwu Sect, only Nong Jinsun is qualified to speak of Huo Ting'en. After all, Jingwu Sect was founded by Nong Jinsun with money, and Nong Jinsun watched Huo Tinggen grow up.
Chen Kang said: "Sir, let's practice sparring again."
Huo Ting'en nodded and said, "Okay. Then I'll see if your martial arts has improved in the past few days."
Chen Kang often thinks about how to use his full strength in actual combat.
Chen Kang finally concluded that it is just one word: "ruthless".
Yes, when fighting, you have to be ruthless. If your heart is cruel, your hands will be cruel.
Chen Kang stared at Huo Ting'en, his eyes changed, his expression was cold and ruthless.
Um?
Huo Ting'en was startled, feeling as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast. Goosebumps on my back.
"beat!"
Chen Kang shouted and rushed towards Huo Tingen.
Huo Ting'en didn't dare to look down on Chen Kang. He almost woke up from the wine and immediately took action to dismantle Chen Kang.
boom.
Huo Tingen and Chen Kang took two steps back at the same time and punched each other. Their strength was about the same.
"Be bold and cruel."
"Elder brother, I thought you were quite powerful before. But now it seems that your strength is not terrible. Come again!"
Chen Kang is full of confidence.
"kill!"
Chen Kang rushed towards Huo Ting'en again.
Chen Kang's fighting was still unorganized. In terms of moves, Huo Ting'en thought it was a complete mess. Chen Kang is not yet able to skillfully apply the Changquan moves in actual combat.
However, Chen Kang was like a lunatic who didn't care about his life. He looked like he was going to die together.
In terms of momentum, Chen Kang suppressed Huo Ting'en.
On the contrary, Huo Ting'en was restrained when he made the move and did not dare to fight Chen Kang head-on. Because Chen Kang's fists and kicks are powerful enough to threaten him.
However, Huo Tingen had rich experience in actual combat. When Huo Yuanjia was alive, he often gave him tricks in person. It is also difficult for Chen Kang to defeat Huo Ting'en.
Huo Tingen and Chen Kang dismantled dozens of moves, sweating profusely and completely sober from alcohol.
Chen Kang looked fierce and shouted: "Punch me again."
Chen Kang adjusted his posture and took a step forward. He felt the power pass from the soles of his feet to his waist, and then to his arms through his waist and spine.
Huo Ting'en instinctively sensed the danger.
Don't dare to take a hard hit, use flexible footwork to dodge.
boom!
Chen Kang's fist hit the pillar, and a clear fist mark seemed to be engraved on the wooden pillar.
Huo Ting'en was shocked and said: "It's An Jin! Chen Kang, when did you realize the realm of An Jin?"
With all the plans in mind, Chen Kang has been practicing martial arts for less than two months.
However, Chen Kang actually reached the realm of dark power! It's incredible.
Huo Ting'en has been practicing boxing since he was a child and has been practicing martial arts for twenty years, but he has not yet been able to master An Jin.
Huo Ting'en felt that his life in the past twenty years had been in vain.
Chen Kang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "I don't know about the realm of dark strength. I only know that the muscles and skin of my arms have become more sensitive, and I can control my strength more finely. As long as I adjust my posture, I can play with powerful skills." The power of penetration."
Chen Kang felt that the realm and Tao were too imaginary and empty. When talking about realm, no matter how reasonable it is, it is invisible and intangible.
Whatever you do, you still have to implement it.
Chen Kang only talks about technique, not state.
Huo Tingen asked: "Chen Kang, how did you do it? Is there any secret?"
Chen Kang was silent for a while and said: "There is no secret. Maybe I am more focused when practicing martial arts."
Chen Kang only practiced a basic set of Changquan. Huo Ting'en understood all the martial arts principles he knew.
Huo Tingen got Huo Yuanjia's true biography, but Chen Kang didn't have time to absorb the essence of Huo Yuanjia's martial arts.
The only possibility that Chen Kang can master the secret power technique is that he is more focused than Huo Ting'en. Training is more reasonable and scientific.
Huo Tingen picked up a stick from the weapon rack and said, "Come on, let's not compete with boxing skills, but with weapons. The essence of Chinese martial arts is not to fight with bare hands, but to fight with weapons."
Chen Kang nodded and said, "Then I will have a good time with Senior Brother today."
Chen Kang doesn't know how to fight with weapons, but he can learn.
Chen Kang has already mastered the knack of fighting, and he will definitely learn to fight with weapons very quickly.
Fighting with weapons is ten times more dangerous than fighting with bare hands. Sticks and swords are just a recipe for blood. Don't say that your skills are inferior to others. Even if you don't pay attention, you will be attacked and blood will be splashed on the spot.
Of course, not to mention musket bullets. Hot weapons are more cruel and domineering than cold weapons.
…
Finished comparing weapons.
Chen Kang relaxed and felt very tired. Not only was he physically exhausted, but he was also mentally exhausted.
When fighting with weapons, Chen Kang was more focused than when he usually practiced martial arts.
Fighting with weapons really consumes physical and mental energy, just like dancing on the tip of a knife, but fighting with weapons can also exercise a person's will and courage to the greatest extent.
Once you get used to fighting with weapons and practice unarmed fighting, you will become more comfortable.
Chen Kang took a hot bath and said to himself: "In addition to practicing boxing, I will also practice weapons and weapons regularly. As long as I no longer have fear when facing swords, my martial arts skills can be improved at least several times."
Lying on the bed, Chen Kang fell asleep in less than a minute.
…
Chen Zhen carried his luggage and ferry ticket, preparing to rush to the pier.
Yamada Mitsuko stopped Chen Zhen and said, "Chen Zhen, do you have to go back to China? Your studies have not been completed. When you return to China this time, will you no longer come to Japan?"
Chen Zhen sighed and said, "Guangzi, I actually completed my college courses last month. My master passed away and I must return to Jingwu Sect."
Yamada Mitsuko said: "But... you have returned to China, what should I do?"
Chen Zhen said: "Guangzi, it's inappropriate for you and me to be together. Forget about me."
Chen Zhen boarded the cruise ship.
Mitsuko Yamada shouted at Chen Zhen: "Chen Zhen, I will go to China to find you."
…
A few days later.
Chen Zhen returned to Shanghai.
As soon as Chen Zhen entered Jingwu Sect, some people recognized him.
"Fifth senior brother?"
"It's really the fifth senior brother."
"Great, Fifth Senior Brother is back!"
Huo Tingen walked up to Chen Zhen, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Have you finished studying?"
Chen Zhen said: "I have completed the university courses and have not received a diploma. I don't know if I have completed my studies."
Huo Ting'en said: "No matter what, just come back. By the way, we didn't notify you, how did you know about the death of your father?"
Chen Zhen said: "The head coach of the Black Dragon Club, Funue Wenfu, told me. After that, I bought another newspaper."
Huo Tingen glanced at Chen Kang who was practicing boxing in the yard. Chen Zhen couldn't be satisfied with the news, so he really asked Chen Kang to make it right.
Chen Kang concentrated on practicing boxing, with focused eyes and graceful movements, almost reaching a state of unity of body and mind.
Chen Kang has now truly mastered the essence of Changquan.
Chen Zhen said in surprise: "What a beautiful long fist, what a graceful move. Is he Chen Kang?"
Huo Ting'en nodded and said, "Yes. He is Chen Kang. A late-blooming martial arts wizard who is proficient in cooking. When Chen Kang practices boxing, he will achieve a state of 'forgetfulness'. He didn't notice you coming back."
Chen Zhen said: "A late bloomer. It's amazing that I can practice Changquan routines to such an extent in less than two months."
Huo Ting'en said: "Chen Zhen, come here, burn incense in front of my father's grave, and kowtow a few times. My father was still talking about you before he died."
Chen Zhen came to Huo Yuanjia's memorial tablet with tears in his eyes.
