Chapter 117 (1/2)
To fight in the room of a hotel is disadvantageous to Gao Ge. After all, he is good at the Ghost-like Steps, but he cannot use it in such a small place. The room is too small, which is a restricted condition for him.
Compared with Gao Ge, Shen Mo is in the ascendant. He is adept at boxing and kicking. Moreover, his moves are strong and forceful. He is quite similar to Chu Jie who competed with Gao Ge in the training field before, except that Chu Jie uses weapons while Shen Mo doesn’t.
Gao Ge can’t help doubting whether they are in the same class.
“Hmm?” Noticing Gao Ge suddenly changes his moves from sheer Thunder Fist to the moves coupling hardness with softness, Shen Mo becomes hesitant, making him punched by Gao Ge. He can’t help taking a few steps back. Even though he stands firmly, his facial expression is changed anyway.
“What fist is this?”
Gao Ge grins and says nothing, striking at Shen Mo again.
Reality is not TV drama. Gao Ge won’t leak out his moves randomly. Although there won’t be any problem even if he says, what if Shen Mo happens to know the way to crack Taijiquan?
Thus, it is unworthy to leak it out if he is only trying to play fronting.
The exquisite essence of Taijiquan lies in two words–hardness, softness.
These are actually two completely different methods on the opposite side, but Taijiquan can integrate them perfectly.
When Gao Ge found out the exquisite essence of Taijiquan during the learning process, he couldn’t help saying that whoever created the fist method must be a divine master.
When hardness dominates, every move feels forceful enough to tear apart the sky and crack the earth; every act appears as heavy as Mount Tai falls upon; every strike is just as violent as howling wind and torrential rain.
When softness dominates, every move feels like water flowing out in a trickle; every act appears as light as drizzling rain, which is quiet and peaceful.
In terms of Gao Ge’s current capability, he can’t give full play to the power of Taijiquan, but with the help of his power of stars, he is still confident to defeat Shen Mo in front of him.
They fight against each other with punches and fists. Gao Ge acts flexibly, sometimes fast and sometimes slowly.
This is not what Shen Mo wants to see. Yet, faced with Gao Ge’s Taijiquan, he can’t find any cracking method for that. Thus, he has no choice but to be harnessed by Gao Ge.
Watching Gao Ge and Shen Mo fighting, Mo Ran, who keeps silent for a while, can’t help speaking.
He pouts at Wang Zhe, “It’s normal for me to just stand aside. How come you are also sitting there?”
Wang Zhe snorts, “It’s none of your business!”
He is smart anyway, knowing if he goes forward now, he must be kicked back. In this case, he may as well stand aside and wait for their competition to end. If he is lucky, Gao Ge will be defeated by Shen Mo; if he is unlucky, Gao Ge will beat Shen Mo and end up getting injured. By then, it won’t be any problem for him to give a last strike on Gao Ge.
If he is extremely unlucky, Gao Ge may not be injured at all after killing Shen Mo. In that case, he can kneel down to beg for mercy, maybe Gao Ge will still spare his life?
With an all-round plan in mind, he looks rather calm and peaceful.
Shen Mo glimpses at him and gets so furious. While handling Gao Ge who is like a sticky worm, he yells at Wang Zhe, “Wang Zhe, you idiot! Now that Mo Ran is right in front of you, why don’t you kill him?”
Hearing that, Wang Zhe shivers with shock. He comes to his senses immediately and looks at Mo Ran with ferocious eyes.
“They are both quite capable but you, honestly speaking, you can’t beat me.” Mo Ran says frankly.
Wang Zhe says with a sneer, “We’ll find it out.”
After saying that, he goes at Mo Ran.
Mo Ran unsheathes his sword. As the sword glitters, a gust of sword wind is generated to blow Wang Zhe away.
“I have told you, you can’t beat me.” Mo Ran says with a cold face, “It seems that you are not a good person. Therefore, you must die.”
Wang Zhe is in a cold sweat.
The murderous intent that Mo Ran gives off has brought great psychological pressure on him.
The sword swishes.
