Chapter 16: Kidnapping for money in the middle of revenge (First)

Crawling out of the icy cold water, Wang Chao sat on boat in a daze. Looking up at the night canvas that was the sky with the numerous stars, he could see the various constellations while the other side was a beacon from the residential area. Within the dark night and without any measurement of time, Wang Chao felt extremely cold, but the cold had shaken him awake. Grabbing the oars, he began to travel for the shore.

Tang Zichen had long since left by traveling through the water, which had also shocked him. Countless of emotions clogged up his thinking process, leaving him melancholic.

Returning to the villa, it was deathly silent inside with only him in there. Wang Chao couldn’t help but feel nervous after realizing that he was the only one there. Without any further thought, he walked for the training room and sat down on the ground before closing his eyes as he tried to remembered what memories he had of sis Chen.

Starting from the “Horse Stance”, “Lifting Yin Palm”, “Monkey Stealing the Peach”, “Three Integrals” to the “Bagua Zhang”, “Xingyi Five Elements and 12 postures” before finally the “Assault of Dragon and Snake” Spear technique along with some other Taichi frameworks.

The smiling and happy Tang Zichen that had taught Wang Chao for more than half a year had ran through Wang Chao’s mind clearly almost as if she was still there. Wang Chao felt as if she had never really left.

Gradually, as these memories flowed into Wang Chao’s head, he began to feel how deep Chinese boxing was. Every single word from Tang Zichen, every single action, he began to think about how truly profound it was. He didn’t know if it was because he had lost this precious thing that he was beginning to mature, but when he thought back to when he was practicing martial arts, he immediately realized just how much of an impact martial arts had on him.

Jumping back up onto his feet, he leapt back onto the vat of water.

Turning his body around as he stepped on the vat, it was almost as if he was walking on normal ground.

Wang Chao’s arms raised up in an arced manner as he rotated his body. With a single extended palm, he slammed it into the sandbag.

A single ripple made its way across the body of water.

Each strike of his had an equally distributed amount of power running through his body, so the recoil from the blow had only caused a simple ripple to go through the water. While it did not reach a perfected realm, there was still a uniformed ripple that was still not yet a whirlpool like.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! The last few strikes had been filled with strength that had also a faint crisp sound to it.

At the faint crisp sounds, they still weren’t comparable to the strikes that Tang Zichen was capable of. It was still far away from the Pounding Fist that Tang Zichen did.

“Hssssh!” After making the strike, Wang Chao leapt down and began to practice both the Five Element Fists and 12 Postures. With each move, he tried to issue Jin while bending his body to fit the postures and forced his pores shut.

“Ha!” At the end of the practicing, he couldn’t help but try to try to fit the stance for the Assault of Dragon and Snake. Both of his hands imitated holding a spear and the legs crouched down in the same combination of the Smashing, Pounding and Drilling Fist. Then he struck at mercury ball fiercely.

His waist bent down as both arms released its strength, crash! The mercury filled ball was grabbed by Wang Chao’s arms and was violently spun before moving out from the trough.

Seeing the ball move from the trough, he immediately spun it once more while a strange sensation went through his sealed pores in his arms.

Wang Chao’s mind suddenly seemed to have the image of the inner mercury within the ball appear in his mind as he issued power to follow the direction of the swirl inside.

Involuntarily turning and twisting the ball, pata! The ball suddenly flew up from the ground and left the trough completely.

“So this must be what listening to Jin is like. No wonder Tang Zichen was able to feel someone’s center of gravity from touching their hands.”

Huuu! Dropping to the ground as if he had no energy left, Wang Chao began to think as he laid on the ground while taking in deep breaths.

The sky outside was already turning bright; Wang Chao had practiced for the entire night.

The sunshine shined brightly down on the ground with its intense light as it did yesterday, but the only difference now was that Tang Zichen was no longer here.

But now that Wang Chao’s mind was in a better state than before. When he thought about how Tang Zichen had left behind a book for him, he immediately ran up the second story to find her sleeping room.
