Chapter 173: Release Power Like a Cat
Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Old Time Tea remembered the pretty girl named Snowy and the benevolent power in the store and believed that the future of the world was bright.
A benevolent heart might dim, but it would never vanish.
Zhang Zian nodded seriously, ”I understand, Grandpa Tea. If I see something unfair happen, I won't let it get by.”
Old Time Tea nodded satisfactorily, ”I trust you. If I had even a little bit of doubt, I wouldn't teach you Wing Chun Kung Fu. In fact, I have been observing you these days and trying to see if you are a reliable and righteous person.”
Zhang Zian was nervous. He had been making fun of people online all the time. He also made Lu Yiyun cry one time. He was eager to find out what Old Time Tea thought about him as a person.
As if Old Time Tea could read his mind, it laughed, ”I only look at the big picture. As a person, you should remain unmoved by either the carrot or the stick. Young kids always joke around and that is normal. If you were too serious, I would worry that you were faking it. All real benevolent warriors do not restrict themselves in tiny details. The Kung Fu master Ye Wen was a crazy kid when he was younger.”
Old Time Tea was in its deep memories as it spoke. A smile came up on its face.
Zhang Zian relaxed.
The smile disappeared on Old Time Tea's face. It said seriously, ”Being tough is great, but you have to be very clear about your limits. For example, when the seven Rainbow Fighters came for money, it was an easy decision to get them out of here by simply giving them some money. You have to remember that a real benevolent warrior should be smart and nicely K.O. the enemies without getting hurt.”
”True!” Zhang Zian agreed.
Honestly, Zhang Zian felt scared after the seven Rainbow Fighters left. If those people stabbed him, it wouldn't be worth it to fight back…
”Similarly, before you turn into a real Kung Fu master, when you see someone in need of help, I'd suggest calling the police,” Old Time Tea said.
Old Time Tea's words made him laugh. He could feel the concern and love from Old Time Tea through its words.
”Understood,” he said.
Tired of being ignored, Fina was impatient and grumpy. ”Are you guys done?”
Zhang Zian looked up and saw that not far from where he was, Galaxy was having fun chasing a group of street cats.
Old Time Tea smiled, ”Queen Fina is pushing us. Let's begin. I will teach you the Wing Chun formula first. It is okay if you cannot understand. All you need to do is memorize it and then understand it through practice.”
Zhang Zian paid full attention and tried to memorize.
”Wing Chun techniques are from Shaolin. No actions relate to the animal shape and the five elements. Instead, they focus on movement, power and angle to defeat the strong with less energy. Every move is resolved by another. There is no killing move. Save your power like a snake and release it like a cat…”
Release power like a cat?
Zhang Zian almost burst into laughter when he heard this. No wonder Old Time Tea could easily defeat the seven Rainbow Fighters! Old Time Tea used ”release power like a cat” to the utmost extreme because it was, in fact, a cat.
The so-called ”release power like a cat” probably meant to move as quickly as a cat. The essence of Kung Fu was the speed of movements.
Old Time Tea finished the formula. It said immediately, without asking the student's feedback, ”Wing Chun is very easy to learn yet difficult to master. You only need to learn some basics, so you should be okay.”
Zhang Zian was offended. What did Old Time Tea mean? I have the same last name as Zhang Wuji. How come he could become a Martial Arts master but I can't?
Of course, Old Time Tea was not aware of Zhang Zian's complicated feelings. It continued, ”Wing Chun includes three sets of basic Chinese boxing – The Intention, The Search and The Advancement. There are also a sets of wooden dummy practices, a set of knife practices and a set of stick practices.”
