Soon, news of the Wing Chun authentic martial arts competition spread throughout Hong Kong.
"Zhang Tianzhi's kung fu is still very good. He won three games in a row before losing in the end."
"His kung fu is good, but his character is too bad. If I want to learn Wing Chun, I'd better go to the Wing Chun Sports Association."
"Master Yip is the real Wing Chun master. If he plays, he won't be as arrogant as Zhang Tianzhi."
"The Wing Chun Sports Association does not charge tuition fees. Moreover, it has 100,000 disciples and is the largest martial arts gym in Hong Kong. Of course I should choose it to learn martial arts. Let's see who dares to bully me in the future."
The people were talking a lot and were not optimistic about Zhang Tianzhi.
For one thing, he had gone around the gym to demonstrate and even threatened Xiang Nan to compete in martial arts. This was so bad for his character that it gave him a bad reputation. The citizens of Xiangjiang didn't have a good impression of him.
Secondly, Xiang Nan's reputation in Xiangjiang is too good. Not only did he defeat the British boxing champion and bring honor to the people of Hong Kong, but he was also charitable and accumulated good deeds, so his reputation naturally spread far and wide.
Thirdly, when people learn martial arts from their masters, not all of them want to become martial arts masters. Staying together and not being bullied is the main reason. The Wing Chun Sports Association has more than 100,000 disciples. It is no exaggeration to say that it can be called the first sect in Xiangjiang.
Such a force, even in the underworld, has to be given a bit of a thumbs-down. Otherwise, if they really fight, it will be enough for them to drink a pot.
Zhao Jinhu was able to join the Changle Gang as a bar street fitter, and the Wing Chun Sports Association played a significant role behind it.
Compared with studying under Zhang Tianzhi, who can only learn martial arts, studying under the Wing Chun Sports Association can get the protection of the sect, so people are naturally more willing to go to the Wing Chun Sports Association.
…
Sure enough, the subsequent development was really like this.
After Zhang Tianzhi got the plaque of the authentic Wing Chun school, he took advantage of the victory in the martial arts competition and immediately opened a martial arts gym.
However, there are very few people who sign up to learn boxing, and they are not even as prosperous as the martial arts schools of Master Luo, Master Zheng, and Hong Zhennan.
This can't help but make Zhang Tianzhi very depressed.
He is good at martial arts, very famous, and he is an authentic Wing Chun practitioner, so why doesn’t anyone learn from him?
After much deliberation, he couldn't figure it out.
Seeing that there were not many disciples in the martial arts school, and the tuition fees collected were not enough to cover the rent, Zhang Tianzhi finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Later, he came to Xiang Nan's house with gifts in hand.
"Master Ye, I'm here to apologize." Zhang Tianzhi said sincerely, with a very low attitude, "I said something wrong before, and I shouldn't have threatened your wife and children. It was my fault, and I apologize to you."
"Master Zhang, you still have a sense of right and wrong." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "To be honest, if I hadn't known that you were a good person and you dared to threaten me with my wife and children, I would have thrown away five million Hong Kong dollars to make everyone The gangs and police officers in Xiangjiang are chasing you."
Zhang Tianzhi became energetic when he heard this.
Xiang Nan was really willing to spend five million dollars to buy his life.
But he believed that Xiang Nan could really do this. And if Xiang Nan really does that, even if he is the best in martial arts, he will still die.
After all, he had been a killer before, and he knew how powerful the killer organization was.
…
"Forget it, let's not worry about the past." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "From now on, we will still be brothers in the same sect. We can interact more often. If you need help, just ask."
"Thank you." Zhang Tianzhi was very moved when he heard this, and then raised his doubts to Xiang Nan, "Senior Brother Ye, I have a question for you, and I hope you can help me answer it.
Why is my kung fu so good, but after the martial arts gym opened, no one signed up to learn boxing? And those masters who are not as good as me in martial arts and who were beaten to a pulp by me, yet their martial arts schools are very prosperous? "
The martial arts masters such as Master Luo of the Great Sage Pigua Quan, Master Zheng of Baguazhang, and Master Cai Lifulin are only third-rate in martial arts, not even one-tenth of his level.
But those masters still opened martial arts schools, and their business was booming. On the contrary, his martial arts gym was empty and its business was so sluggish that he couldn't figure it out.
"You don't know something about this." Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan smiled and waved his hands, "In your opinion, those masters are inferior in kung fu. But to those bewildered boys, they are out-and-out masters. .
For example, Master Luo, his martial arts studio is located on Fortress Street. With him on guard, those demagogues would have to be a little less generous and would not go to Battery Street to disturb the people.
So, you think those masters are useless, but in fact they are the protectors of one party. The people are grateful to them. Do you think their business will be bad? "
In the eyes of the Monkey King, the Lord of the Earth, the Kitchen God, and the Mountain God are simply out of place. But it is precisely this type of deity that is most popular.
"Junior Brother Zhang, although you have great martial arts skills, have you ever done anything to protect the environment and the people, and act chivalrously and righteously?" Xiang Nan asked again, "You just competed with those martial arts masters to show your prestige, and you did everything. Why do selfish things get the support of big guys?"
Zhang Tianzhi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Although he has been in Xiangjiang for a while, he has basically done nothing good.
Either he is a killer and kills people, or he is a boxer in the underground, or he is challenging martial arts masters... They are all selfish things, and naturally they will not be supported by everyone.
"Senior Brother Ye, I was wrong." He nodded, "Then tell me, what should I do?"
"Easy to handle. You read the newspaper. Chi Yan Primary School in Kowloon has been harassed by evil forces recently. They went to the school to smash, loot and burn, forcing the principal to sell the land to them." Xiang Nan pointed at the newspaper and said, " If you can settle this matter, why worry about people not recognizing you? When everyone recognizes you, why do you worry about not having an apprentice?"
Xiang Nan knew that Zhiren Elementary School was harassed by evil forces, and it was the result of bewitching Ma Jingsheng and others. He and his men's martial arts were average, so they had no problem being beaten by Zhang Tianzhi.
Ma Jingsheng's backing is French, and French's backing is a British real estate developer. Once things get serious, British real estate developers will withdraw from the development of this land in order to avoid causing trouble.
Therefore, as long as Zhang Tianzhi drives Ma Jingsheng and others away, the matter will be widely reported by the media and attract public attention. Then this business will be completed.
Zhang Tianzhi picked up the newspaper and read it, then nodded.
His son happens to be studying at Zhiren Primary School, so he can intervene in this matter.
…
In the next two days, the news that Zhang Tianzhi transformed into the patron saint of the elementary school, fought off the evil forces, and protected Zhiren Elementary School appeared in the newspapers, making him a hero and his reputation drastically reversed.
Because of this, his martial arts business gradually improved, and he later became a master.
Later, he told Xiang Nan that he actually did more than just fight off the gangsters.
The leading gangster, Ma Jingsheng, lost a leg and an arm to him and became a useless person. His younger brothers no longer followed him. And he also learned about his boss behind the scenes, Frankie, from Ma Jingsheng.
He then went to have a fight with French. Although he lost to French with fists, he was still defeated by him.
Unlike Ip Man, who is kind-hearted and merciless, Zhang Tianzhi is a killer and doesn't mind playing dirty. Frankie's throat was sealed with a knife, and he could no longer do evil.
After Xiang Nan heard about it, he admired Zhang Tianzhi's ruthlessness.
