C122 Euphorbia (2/2)
I could clearly see that even Master Chen had a smile flash across his face, as though he also believed that I only knew this move. For the same attack, Master Chen would obviously use the same move, but he still extended his hand to grab onto my arm that was waving his fist, and pulled towards him while he was seven inches away from me.
When he pulled, his expression immediately changed. He raised his head and looked at me in disbelief. No, that's impossible, this boxing is gentle yet tough, tough and tough at the same time, no matter how gentle Taiji Fist is, it is still powerful, how did you manage to completely eliminate the power in the boxing under the same move?! What, what is this boxing? ”
”This is also Taiji Fist.” The moment I said that, I took the chance and made a move, copying out the moves Master Chen had executed twice previously, imitating how he looked at me grabbing onto his seven inch arm like a dragon or snake. I pulled his entire body towards me, followed by releasing all of his strength onto my shoulder, and took a step forward, my shoulder facing the right shoulder of Master Chen that was smashing towards me, and smashed him two or three steps back.
Master Chen's face was full of disbelief as he sized me up, and spoke word by word in astonishment: ”You, how did you do it?!”
At this moment, the surrounding people were completely silent. From the corner of my eyes, everyone was staring at me with their mouths agape. It was obvious that they were extremely surprised that I was able to use Master Chen's techniques to send Master Chen flying.
”To be gentle is to be strong.” I am not teasing the Master Chen, my move is using the Taiji Fist technique that the Master Chen created, and the core of the Taiji Fist is using softness to counter strength. The only reason the Master Chen had no effect on me and got beaten back is because the word ”gang” does not exist in my boxing, but he does!
Master Chen was startled when he heard what I said, but he didn't say anything. He took another step forward and swung his hand to grab at me, a Cloud Searching Hand struck at my chest area, but it was still weak, as if it had lost its effect. He shook his head in disbelief, and I don't know why, but when he did the same thing as he did just now, I used everything on him, and Master Chen subconsciously took a few steps back while defending against my palm on his chest!
”Amazing, amazing!” My heart kept shouting 'impressive', not because I'm praising myself, but because I'm praising Master Chen's Chen family's Taiji Fist. In reality, I was just using a small secret manual to make some cheap tricks, but Master Chen was actually the one who defeated Master Chen.
Master Chen is also a persistent person. If every time I don't work, he would attack again and again, but he would get beaten back the same way again and again. After doing this a few times, there wasn't a single sound around him anymore, and everyone was staring at me with their mouths agape, unable to believe what they had just heard.
After Master Chen tried it out, he stood in front of me with his hands cupped in front of his chest and said with a face full of admiration, ”So, little brother, oh, no, so this master is also a hidden martial arts expert! It was I, Chen Yu, who was ignorant and self-righteous, Master's moves are all the same as mine, but they are all softer than mine, and I am unable to remove all the interference from the boxing with just that alone! I admit defeat. ”
I broke out in a cold sweat and felt a little embarrassed. I quickly spoke out in a modest tone, ”Master Chen is too modest, I am just practising. I have learnt all of these moves from the Master Chen, I don't even know Taiji Fist.”
”What?” You haven't practiced Taiji Fist before? ” Initially, I only wanted to be modest, but I seemed to have said something wrong that caused Master Chen to be even more surprised.
I raised my hand to scratch the back of my head and nodded. ”I haven't learned it yet. I've just learned a move or two from you.”
”Since you are able to vividly show the skills of the Chen family's Tai Chi with these two to three moves, obtaining my essence is better than me. If you aren't a master, then who is? I just did not expect him to be so young! ” Master Chen was so excited that his entire body was trembling, he kneeled down on one knee and shouted: ”Junior Chen family's Tai Chi disciple, Chen Yu, does not dare call himself master in front of you, to actually let you practice with me today, it is truly laughable, please do not blame me!”
I hastily went forward to help Master Chen up, and said, ”We are all martial artists, isn't this what Master Chen is supposed to do? Get up, do you want me to kneel down as well? ” When I wanted to kneel down as well, the Master Chen immediately stood up and extended his hands to support me, preventing me from kneeling.
He muttered, ”No, no, no, no.”
At this moment, the Master Chen and I both turned to look at the stairs, where everyone had yet to react, and everyone had dumbstruck expressions, including Li Xinai. Her face was filled with disbelief, as though she was sizing up a person she had never seen before.
The most interesting expressions on their faces were on Li Zecheng's group of people who had left home. They probably never would have thought that with the President Liu from before and the Master Chen behind them, these two famous people from the north of the capital, especially the Master Chen, would be so respectful to me.
I didn't know if it was because of Li Xinai's reminder or because of something, but I kept having the feeling that Liu Qingfeng was looking at me with a strange gaze, a little surprised, appreciative of something even more, that I couldn't describe but felt uncomfortable about, or maybe I was just overthinking it.
”No, that's not possible, Master Chen, how can you not beat him?!” Li Zecheng, who had reacted with disbelief, raised his hand and pointed at me as he said loudly, ”You, you're the number one person in the entire Northern Martial Arts world!”
Master Chen frowned, but immediately returned back to normal, he shook his head and said with a face full of sighs: ”False reputation, this Grandmaster Jiang beside me is obviously not as good in martial arts as me, but he has never appeared in the Martial Arts Festival before, this is what a true martial artist is! ”Don't bring up my false reputation. I find it embarrassing.”
”Master … Master Jiang.” The corner of Li Zecheng's mouth twitched, his expression extremely marvelous.
