As all the commencement procedures came to a close, the exchange was finally getting ready to begin. The people below the stage were all getting extremely restless as they were filled with excitement. After all, they had been waiting for this moment for a very long time.

Then, another elderly man came onto the stage and exchanged strikes with that Huang Ru Zhong fellow. Although their movements did not look very fierce, this was the true test of a martial arts expert.

However, they were only doing a short exchange.

“Right now, let’s have some people come up onto the stage. Let’s begin the exchange,” Huang Ru Zhang said. After that, the two of them got off the stage and left the rest to the people in the audience.

“It’s beginning,” Jiang Fei said in excitement.

Upon seeing that, the members of the association were also very worked up. They were all wondering what was going to happen.

“I am Tong Ming of Yan Men Fist. Please give me your teachings.” At this moment, a man came up onto the stage and greeted everyone.

Jiang Fei introduced them, saying, “This is a traditional martial art from the Hubei province and has a history dating back two to three hundred years. However, the passing down of the Yan Men Fist has been very complicated. Tong Ming seems to practice the authentic version and he is very strong.”

The surrounding members looked on and listened. “I’ve never heard about this style of martial arts before.”

“This isn’t something any ordinary person would know about. After all, our country has had many different classifications of martial arts passed down across the generations. Although you’ve never heard about it before, it doesn’t mean that it is not a strong martial art. Furthermore, a lot of the mainstream martial arts right now draw on the essence of this kind of martial arts.”

Jiang Fei was clearly very knowledgeable, knowing all about these martial arts that no one else knew about like the back of his hand.

Fraud Tian also nodded in approval. Although he very powerful, with his father bringing him to meet many different experts when he had been young, he still did not know much about these classifications of martial arts. After all, no one had passed on the knowledge of such martial arts to him.

“Do you know about it?” At this moment, Fraud Tian glanced at Lin Fan and asked.

Lin Fan smiled and said, “I do.”

“Bullsh*t,” Fraud Tian said.

“If you don’t believe me then forget it,” Lin Fan said as he shook his head. Ever since he had obtained the major classification of Wuxia, there was nothing that he did not know about.

Then, another man came up onto the stage and said, “The Zhao Family Fist, Zhao Four.”

Zhao Zhong Yang spoke softly to his phone saying, “My brothers, there’s another person coming onto the stage now and he clearly looks very hyped up. I don’t know about you guys but I’m definitely very excited right now.”

“What are these two forms of martial arts? I’ve never heard of them before.”

“Forget about you not hearing about it before, I’ve never heard about it before either.”

“I did a search on it If you don’t search for these martial arts, you wouldn’t even know about them. However, I was super shocked after searching for these. Our China really has a whole myriad of different martial arts. Some of them even have a great history, being passed down many generations. It seems like these martial arts haven’t really appealed to the eyes of famous people though.”

“Because this isn’t some kind of bullsh*t, it is only something the experts can do.”

Then, there was a change in the arena. They were starting their exchange.

To those who had just come to witness the excitement of this event, the fight between the two of them was very intense. Those martial arts experts also continuously nodded. After all, there was no best martial art. Some of them were looking on in approval and others were trying to take notes and see the merits of the different martial arts.

“How amazing,” the association members cried out. The fight was really very intense and it was completely different from anything that they had seen before.

Jiang Fei was also nodding incessantly. He definitely could not match up to any of these guys. After all, he only did martial arts as a way to strengthen his body, unlike those people on stage who had had their knowledge passed down to them and could kill people with their martial arts.

Right now, martial arts were on the decline. If they could not attract people, it would be very hard for them to survive. Thus, all the martial arts that were being passed around outside had no killing power at all and were just for strengthening the body.

Very quickly, the performance on stage ended.

The Yan Men Fist’s Tong Ming was slightly better.

However, the two of them showed no sign of resentment as they cupped their fists in respect and got off the stage.

*Clap clap clap*

The people in the audience erupted into applause.

The old-timers on the viewing-platform also started smiling and nodding in approval.
