Chen Kang walked into the palace and saw King Duan stretching his muscles.
King Duan said: "Chen Kang, come, let's have a fight. I have learned your butterfly step."
Chen Kang said: "Your Majesty, wait a moment, I haven't had breakfast yet. Chen Zhengying's apprentice gave me a letter and asked me to give it to Chen Zhengying."
King Duan was stunned, nodded and said: "Then hurry up. I am waiting for you. You can come directly to the martial arts hall later."
The warriors around King Duan showed incredulous expressions.
This guy Chen Kang is getting more and more courageous.
How dare you talk to the prince like this.
When they talked to the prince, they were frightened and uneasy. How dare Chen Kang?
Many people said to themselves: "Huh. Chen Kang is arrogant and arrogant because of his favor. He doesn't know how to be humble. Sooner or later he will be hated by the prince."
…
Chen Kang came to visit Chen Zhengying again.
Chen Zhengying said: "Master Chen Kang, my Chen family's martial arts will not be taught to outsiders."
Chen Kang nodded and said: "I know. It is passed down from male to female. It is passed from within to within and not from outside. My martial arts skills will not be easily passed on to outsiders."
Chen Zhengying said: "It's good that you know."
Chen Kang said: "I am mainly here to deliver a letter to you today. Your disciple Yang Yuqian has arrived in the capital and is staying at the Henan Guild Hall."
Chen Kang handed the letter to Chen Zhengying.
Chen Zhengying asked hurriedly: "Are Agan and the others okay?"
Chen Kang said: "It's okay, at least I have a place to stay."
Chen Zhengying breathed a sigh of relief and opened the letter.
Chen Kang felt that Chen Zhengying's attitude towards him had obviously improved.
Finished reading the letter.
Chen Zhengying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you very much, Coach Chen Kang."
Chen Kang said: "Master Chen, there is no need to be polite. To be honest, I can't help you much. If Master Chen is willing to exchange martial arts experience and compete with Chen, then Chen will be grateful."
When it comes to exchanging martial arts, Chen Zhengying is silent.
Chen Kang said: "Master Chen, I gained some experience when I was practicing boxing yesterday. I'm going to do another set of boxing techniques. Please give me some advice."
Chen Kang performed a set of Hong boxing in front of Chen Zhengying.
Chen Kang's boxing technique today is different from before.
That spirit is the state of a master.
Chen Zhengying has a sharp eye and can tell at a glance: "Grandmaster!"
Chen Kang attaches great importance to breathing methods and is good at Qi training, but his breathing methods are not perfect and he is not a true master of internal martial arts.
But even so, Chen Kang is much stronger than ordinary waijiquan masters.
In particular, Chen Kang's mastery of force-generating techniques and fine control of his own strength are comparable to those of the masters of Neijiaquan.
Now Chen Kang's physical fitness is not as good as Duan Wang. But Chen Kang's physical fitness will increase every day. As long as he is given some time, Chen Kang's physical fitness will surpass King Duan sooner or later.
Improving physical fitness requires a large supply of nutrients and cannot be achieved overnight.
After Chen Kang finished his boxing, he said: "Master Chen, how is my boxing? Please give me some advice."
Chen Zhengying sighed: "Instructor Chen Kang, your martial arts has reached the level of a master and is no weaker than mine. I have nothing to suggest."
Chen Kang said: "The path of martial arts will never end. I hope to bring together the best of hundreds of schools of thought and embrace all rivers. I want to see how far I can go on the path of martial arts."
Chen Kang turned and left the room.
Chen Zhengying thought to himself: "Chen Kang's spirit of seeking truth is beyond my reach."
Chen Zhengying had only seen Chen Kang's spirit of seeking Taoism in Yang Yuqian.
In order to learn Neijiaquan, Yang Yuqian risked everything and could endure any hardship.
Why are there no people like Chen Kang and Yang Yuqian in Chenjiagou?
…
Martial Arts Hall.
Chen Kang once again competed with King Duan in martial arts.
This time, Chen Kang dealt with King Qi Duan's attack much more easily.
Before, when Chen Kang and Duan Wang were competing, they could only rely on flexible footwork to dodge. Even if they accidentally counterattacked, they would not be able to cause any damage to Duan Wang.
Duan Wang can almost press Chen Kang to fight.
But now, King Duan can no longer crush Chen Kang.
Head-to-head?
Chen Kang is not afraid!
Bang bang bang...
Chen Kang retreated while using his moves to neutralize King Duan's fists and kicks.
Chen Kang quickly analyzed in his mind: "Duanwang's power is still stronger than mine, but my control of power is more refined than Duanwang. If I lack strength, I use skills to make up for it."
King Duan wanted to use Mongolian wrestling techniques to throw Chen Kang out.
Chen Kang took advantage of the situation and wrapped his feet around King Duan's legs. When the enemy turned against him, he used his strength to throw King Duan away.
Duan Wang did two somersaults in a row.
boom.
When his steps landed, his strength was not controlled well, and King Duan crushed the stone slabs on the ground.
"Chen Kang, your martial arts..." King Duan looked at Chen Kang in surprise.
Chen Kang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I had a breakthrough last night. My control of power is more precise."
King Duan said: "That's right. Chen Kang, you are a martial arts master, so that's even better. Only a true master is qualified to be my sparring partner. From now on, your salary will be doubled."
Chen Kang became stronger, and King Duan immediately improved Chen Kang's treatment.
Chen Kang cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The contest continues.
Chen Kang served as Duan Wang's sparring partner and showed all his strength. He showed no mercy when fighting with each other.
Except for the lack of killing intent, the two of them were no different from a life-and-death fight.
For several days.
Chen Kang spent most of his time as a sparring partner for King Duan.
Chen Kang's physical fitness increased rapidly.
Compared with the past few days, Chen Kang's physical fitness has improved by at least 30%.
Chen Kang's strength is no longer inferior to King Duan.
In a real life-and-death fight, Chen Kang's chances of winning are slightly greater.
As the saying goes, if you are more skilled, you are on another level.
After all, Chen Kang's control of his own power is more refined and precise than King Duan.
…
Yang Yuqian and Chen Shaoqi waited in Chen Kang's yard every day.
Because Chen Kang would bring letters from Chen Zhengying when he came back every night.
Although Chen Zhengying is in the palace and cannot meet Yang Yuqian and Chen Shaoqi, it is already good to be able to communicate through letters.
Chen Kang came back with food: "Yang Yuqian, Shaoqi, you haven't had dinner yet. I brought some food back from Prince Duan's Mansion."
Yang Yuqian and Chen Shaoqi haven't had lunch yet and are now hungry.
Opening the lunch box, there are three meat dishes, which are very generous.
Yang Yuqian said: "Senior, then we won't be polite."
Chen Kang took out Chen Zhengying's letter and said: "This is what Master Chen gave you. Although Master Chen is not free in Prince Duan's Mansion, he does not lack food and drink. You don't need to worry. On the contrary, you seem to be living a tight life. .”
Yang Yuqian was holding the rice bowl and hesitated to speak.
Chen Kang said: "If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't like hesitating the most."
Yang Yuqian said: "We have spent all our money. Second uncle and Aunt Hong are going to find work. Yesterday I offended the people in Yongning Gege's house..."
Chen Kang said: "Have you also offended Yongning Gege?"
Yang Yuqian looked at Chen Kang in surprise, what do you mean? Could it be that Chen Kang also offended Yongning.
Chen Kang said: "Some time ago, I had a conflict with people in Yongning Gege's house and had a fight with four of her guards. Yongning Gege ruined my job and wanted to recruit me. I didn't agree. I It was only by chance that I entered Prince Duan’s Mansion.”
Chen Shaoqi said: "Yongning Gege said that after ten days, Agan will challenge her seven master guards. If Agan wins, forget about it. If he loses..."
Aren’t there only six masters around Yongning Gege? When did one more person appear?
Chen Kang said: "Yang Yuqian, you haven't become a martial arts master yet, have you?"
Yang Yuqian shook his head and said, "It's still a little bit worse."
Chen Kang said: "The internal boxing you practice has great advantages. However, you are not a master, so I'm afraid you won't be able to defeat them. The wine monk 'Xiangdong Lai' in Yongning Gege's house is a real master."
Yang Yuqian looked solemn.
Chen Shaoqi exclaimed: "What should we do?"
Chen Kang said: "Isn't there still ten days left? If Yang Yuqian can become a martial arts master, then he has a chance to win."
…
Yang Yuqian and Chen Shaoqi returned to the Henan Guild Hall. Along the way, the two did not speak and looked very worried.
After washing.
Chen Shaoqi couldn't sleep and stood by the window, looking at Yang Yuqian who was practicing boxing hard under the moonlight.
Chen Shaoqi secretly said: "Dad said that A Gan's martial arts talent is unique. If he can learn the essence of Neijiaquan, he will definitely become a martial arts master. But... dad told me that before A Gan and I get married, You can’t pass on your final breathing technique and silk-winding strength to him.”
Chen Shaoqi was very conflicted.
Before Chen Zhengying was escorted to the capital, he taught Chen Shaoqi the breathing and force-generating techniques of Neijiaquan.
Chen Zhengying was also afraid that her life or death would be uncertain when she arrived at Prince Duan's Mansion, and she was worried that the essence of Tai Chi would be lost.
As a last resort, Chen Zhengying passed on the essence of Neijiaquan to her daughter Chen Shaoqi.
Yang Yuqian has learned all the Tai Chi moves and has mastered them.
What Yang Yuqian lacks is the last bit of breathing and silk-winding skills in Neijiaquan.
But what is missing is the real essence.
Chen Shaoqi gritted her teeth and gave up. She decided to teach Yang Yuqian the breathing method and silk wrapping strength.
…
Early the next morning.
Yang Yuqian and Chen Shaoqi found Chen Kang again.
Today, Yang Yuqian's mental state is a little different from yesterday.
Yang Yuqian said: "Senior Chen Kang, I wonder if you can fight with me?"
Chen Kang said: "You are very confident. It seems that after going back last night, you gained some experience in boxing. Okay, I will not go to the palace today and will be your sparring partner."
Chen Kang is eager to compete with Yang Yuqian for coaching.
There was no chance before.
Now that Yang Yuqian has taken the initiative to discuss and exchange ideas, the opportunity has come. Maybe Chen Kang can learn some of the essence of internal martial arts.
