Chapter 698: Another Victory
Competitive sports are always cruel. You can be compassionate to the loser, but never show mercy.
Compassion will always keep you in awe, and people with awe will go further.
But if you show mercy because of sympathy, then sooner or later you will become the one who is sympathized.
Su Yi quickly took his eyes off Li Yuanqing, smiled and bowed, accepting the cheers of the crowd.
In fact, it takes courage for Su Yi to stand here to fight, because he still faces the possibility of being assassinated.
Zhepeng people, remnants of the Qing Gang, ambitious people...
And Su Yi's enemies.
Don't think that Su Yi has no enemies, Wang Shihai, Zou Rong, Hu Desheng...
Along the way, these people killed by Su Yi himself also have families. Their families may not all choose to swallow their anger.
If there is a chance, they will never mind killing Su Yi.
But can Su Yi not go on stage because he is afraid of being assassinated?
Of course not, so Su Yi actually arranged many subordinates to patrol the audience for suspicious people.
When Su Yi glanced over, many people raised their hands and clapped. Excluding some of them who were just following the fun, most of these people were Su Yi's subordinates.
Raising hands and clapping proved that there was nothing unusual.
If someone clapped with the back of the hand, it meant there was something fishy.
Then Su Yi also saw Gong Baosen and Zhang Zimin not far away. He was slightly startled and clasped his fists towards them from a distance.
"Does he recognize you?" Zhang Zimin, who was stunned before, looked at Gong Baosen in surprise.
Then, without waiting for Gong Baosen to reply, he suddenly said, "Why do I see the shadow of Bagua Step in his Kung Fu? Is he your disciple?"
"I can't teach such a disciple." Gong Baosen shook his head, "Director, to be honest, I insisted on you coming from the Magic City this time. Hosting the competition and inspecting the martial arts school are secondary. I mainly want you to see a person. Now, you have seen it."
Zhang Zimin looked at Su Yi on the stage with a serious face, took a deep breath, with excitement and disbelief in his eyes, and said, "I have to take a good look at this person."
At this time, several other old men also rushed over, and Zhang, who was the most impatient, Ce asked hurriedly: "What's the matter with Geng Liangchen's martial arts? Why does he look like all kinds of martial arts moves, but he doesn't look like anyone when he uses them?"
"Whose family is this kid?"
"Gong Houzi, he just used a palm that looks like your sixty-four hands. Is he your apprentice?"
The old people asked anxiously, but Gong Baosen waved his hand and said: "He is not my apprentice, but I brought you here to let you see him. Since everyone hasn't seen it clearly, why not continue to watch."
"Okay, let's take a look again, let's take a look again..." Yang Chengpu murmured excitedly, looking at the ring with expectation.
The masters all saw what was contained in Su Yi's brief and refined set of combination punches just now, so they were so excited.
Which of the masters who stand at the top of the martial arts world today does not have several martial arts?
They have been trying to find a way out for martial arts, trying to make martial arts play a greater role and power, but they have been running around in vain for half their lives, and can only watch martial arts decline under the trend of the era of airplanes and cannons.
If you have really experienced this feeling, you will know how desperate it is.
It's like in the 1990s, you spent ten years and a huge amount of money to make the most awesome BB machine, but sorry, the mobile phone era has arrived.
The masters all agreed that Chinese martial arts should be inherited and developed, focusing on communication and abandoning sectarianism.
Gong Baosen merged Xingyi Bagua, and Sun Lutang was even more thorough in the true meaning of Xingyi, Bagua, and Taiji.
While Li Shuwen was proficient in Baji and the big spear, he also studied several internal skills of Shaolin.
Shang Yunxiang is the founder of Shang's Xingyiquan, but in fact his martial arts are known for the big pole, half-step collapse fist and Dantian Qi strike.
Almost all Chinese martial arts masters practice more than one martial art, but they have practiced for a lifetime, why is Taiji still Taiji, Xingyi still Xingyi, and Baji still Baji?
Why can the sects be merged, but kung fu cannot be merged?
For example, Tai Chi Xingyi and Baguazhang are combined into one Taixing Gua, and Baji, Pi Gua and Tongbei are combined into Ba Pi Bei?
If you can understand why these martial arts cannot be combined into one, then you can understand the shock and excitement of these masters when they saw Su Yi integrate nearly ten kinds of martial arts into one and wield them at will.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the door to a new world!
So they are worried about gains and losses, fearing that this is an illusion or a scam.
So they dare not believe it, because this is the way they have been looking for all their lives but have not found.
On the ring.
As Su Yi stated that he would continue to fight, the audience below suddenly burst into cheers.
To a certain extent, Geng Liangchen's sudden appearance satisfied a considerable number of grassroots people's fantasies and YY about their lives.
Rich, powerful, affectionate, righteous, famous, five-have youth.
Liba, a child from Tianjin, has now become a famous figure in the country. If this is not called a legend, what is a legend?
Now everyone present has a sense of witnessing a legend.
Of course, there are also people who are not interested in Geng Liangchen, and even fantasize about stepping on his reputation to get promoted.
There are quite a few such people.
"Is there anyone who wants to challenge Geng Liangchen?" the referee asked.
"Yes!"
"I'll do it!"
"Yanqingmen Sun Kun wants to learn from Master Geng's skills!"
"Pingjiang Hujiaquan Hu Jiong wants to challenge Master Geng!"
"Taiyi Sect Cao Coast..."
After the referee finished speaking, hundreds of people rushed to sign up for the challenge.
And the number of challengers continues to increase!
The referee was dumbfounded now.
How to choose this?
He has never encountered such a situation.
Su Yi watched with cold eyes, feeling clear in his heart. The reason why so many people challenge themselves is not because they are hated a lot, nor because they are soft persimmons, but just for the sake of a "name".
It is no exaggeration to say that Su Yi is definitely the most popular player in this competition. Every battle he performs, and even every detail of the fight, will be written up in newspapers and praised by the public.
In this case, even if it is just a backdrop for failure, the challenger's name will be known to the world.
And is it embarrassing to lose to the heroes of Jinmen?
No shame!
What if I'm lucky enough to win one and a half moves...
Then it will become famous throughout the country!
Enough to brag about for a lifetime!
Is there anything to lose by failing?
The biggest loss is just wasting a chance of failure. But what you get is far more than that.
No one is a fool. The one who has figured this out and still doesn't want to challenge Geng Liangchen is a fool.
After a while, almost every warrior in the field raised their hands to challenge Geng Liangchen.
In such a grand occasion, those who didn’t know it might have thought that the people on the stage had committed some sin that was outrageous and resentful.
Seeing that the referee was a little numb, Su Yi suggested: "Mr. Referee, since there are so many challengers, for the sake of fairness, why not just draw lots?"
"Yes, yes, let's draw lots directly." The referee was relieved, slapped his forehead with some annoyance, and then hurriedly made arrangements.
In fact, there are provisions in the competition regulations to deal with this situation, but the referee was stunned by the big scene and did not react for a while.
Since it's a lottery, the people below won't make a fuss.
Soon, the referee drew out Su Yi’s second opponent——
"Li Chunnian, the successor of Yang Style Tai Chi."
Everyone was in an uproar and immediately became excited.
Li Chunnian is a child of a famous family and is quite famous in the martial arts world.
On the other side, the grandmasters all looked at Yang Chengpu.
Yang Chengpu was the direct grandson of Yang Luchan and the most prestigious Tai Chi master at the time, and Li Chunnian on the stage was his disciple.
"My disciple is incompetent, so I have to teach him five points." Yang Chengpu shook his head and said, "As the saying goes, if a bottle doesn't ring, half a bottle will slosh. Let's see what he can do."
Although he said this, his tone contained reserve and confidence.
"I know this kid in Chun Nian is much stronger than Li Yuanqing just now. Geng Liangchen will definitely meet a strong opponent this time." Chuck said.
"I estimate that the two sides will be evenly matched." Ma Yingtu also nodded in approval.
Everyone agreed one after another. First, it was to give Yang Chengpu face. It’s hard to say that your apprentice is not good, right?
Second, they really think so in their hearts.
Only Gong Baosen was expressionless and speechless.
Seeing Gong Baosen like this, Zhang Zimin's eyes moved and he asked: "Haneda, who do you think is stronger and who is weaker? Who loses and who wins?"
Gong Baosen smiled and said, "If Chun Nian plays cautiously, I can survive three rounds."
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
Doesn’t this praise Geng Liangchen too highly?
However, except for Yang Chengpu who smiled brightly, the other masters did not react at all.
It will be clear immediately what the situation is, and there is no need to argue.
Li Chunnian stood on stage with his head held high in full view of everyone.
This is a middle-aged man with a slightly elegant demeanor and a bookish air. He looks like he is in his early forties. He has a short beard and looks mature and steady.
When faced with the crowd's cheers and cheers, he did not show any stage fright. He looked around and clasped his fists in return, which attracted everyone's applause.
Finally, he walked up to Su Yi and saluted with a smile: "Master Geng, Yang style Tai Chi Li Chunnian, I have admired your name for a long time. It is a great honor for me to compete with you on the same stage today."
"What did Master Li say?" Su Yi replied, "You are a senior, and I am lucky to be able to ask you for advice."
"You two, please get ready." The referee interrupted the two people's greetings.
"Master Geng, please!"
"please!"
The two of them took up their stances.
"start!"
The referee gave the order and the fight began.
Don’t think that Tai Chi is about using softness to overcome hardness, or about slow postures. Those are just various modern simplified Tai Chi and performance routines.
The true appearance of traditional Tai Chi has almost never been reproduced in modern times. As the old saying goes, "The most poisonous thing about Tai Chi and gossip is the mind."
Tai Chi is really powerful when it comes to hitting people. Whether it's a big fight or a long punch, it's like a tiger or a tiger when it comes to hitting people.
Yang Style Tai Chi has four-way hammers, which can be used even more easily than Baji.
When practicing other martial arts, you have to relax, but in Tai Chi, the further you practice, the more you have to contract. Therefore, a true Tai Chi master will make the kung fu more and more "round" in the end, and practice it freely.
Therefore, there is another saying that "Tai Chi is evil and Bagua is slippery".
Li Chunnian obviously hasn't practiced Tai Chi to the point where he needs to "collect" it. He is still letting it go.
As soon as the game started, Li Chunnian launched an offensive. His left and right horses parted their manes and quickly came forward, cross-handed and hit the Su Yi center goal.
Before the people arrived, a bad wind blew in their faces, making a group of them fierce.
Su Yi responded with three Wing Chun circle sickle moves, eliminating and attacking Li Chunnian's attack. The next moment, he pretended to sideways and tackled the neck with his left hand, causing Li Chunian to get low and block, but in the middle of the move, he turned to an elbow to the left side of the face.
Li Chunnian reacted very quickly, changing his moves to block the elbow strike, and at the same time, he was about to counterattack with a crouching tiger style.
But the elbow strike was still fake!
The elbow strike was just to cover up the real attack. Su Yi's left hook stretched out from under his right arm like a ghost, hitting Li Chunnian's right neck!
Li Chunnian didn't defend this move at all, and it was also thanks to his extraordinary skills that he leaned back more than an inch at the critical moment to avoid being directly KOed.
But this circle still hit Li Chunnian's chin, and with a "crack", his chin was dislocated on the spot.
After this move, the game entered Su Yi time.
Without waiting for Li Chunnian to react, or even waiting for the pain in his chin to reach his brain, Su Yi moved forward, and a set of swift and changing combinations made Li Chunnian unable to slow down and couldn't keep up with the rhythm. When he reacted, Su Yi slapped him on the lower abdomen, and he had already landed lightly on the stage, staggering a few steps before he didn't fall.
Su Yi stood on the stage and closed his fists and hugged: "Master Li, thank you."
Li Chunnian was at a loss, and even forgot the severe pain in his jaw.
He was stunned and didn't understand how he lost.
He only knew that he used an old trick and was caught by the opponent, and then the situation was completely out of control.
He still had a lot of skills that he didn't use, but he didn't have the chance.
A miserable defeat!
The scene was silent for a moment.
The referee was the first to react and shouted excitedly: "Geng Liangchen wins!"
Wow!
The passion of the whole audience was instantly ignited!
One round!
Another round of defeat!
If the opponent was an unknown passerby, it would be fine, but the key is that Su Yi's opponents were not ordinary people!
Bajiquan Li Yuanqing, Yang Taiji Li Chunnian, all are descendants of famous families, all are young martial artists with a little fame!
But none of them can match Geng Liangchen in one round.
The whole scene has become a sea of noise, and everyone is shouting, yelling, or saying something excitedly.
They vented their passion and expressed their shock.
Someone thought of the old story when Su Yi challenged the gym before, and shouted loudly: "Young master! Young master..."
After a while, thousands of noises merged into this wave of sound, surging like thunder.
The atmosphere was almost full, infecting everyone present.
On the other side, the real masters of national martial arts were also stunned by this result.
Lu Chunnian didn't even last a round, which was unexpected by everyone.
In theory, it shouldn't be like this.
No one thinks this is Li Chunnian's true level, but Li Chunnian didn't underestimate the enemy, why did he lose so quickly?
Is Geng Liangchen's level really that high?
Or is it that Li Chunnian has no understanding of his opponent's martial arts at all, which led to this result?
In fact, the masters all have the answer in their hearts.
And this answer makes everyone feel heavy.
