Chapter 71: The grand competition on the straits (First)
Although he wouldn’t be able to break out with Hidden Jin through the chest and his back during a fight, attaining such a step was still enough to satisfy Wang Chao.
In the past, his Hidden Jin would only amount to about 550 kilograms in weight, but now, his tiger stane was far stronger than before. Weight at about 750 kilograms, it was a decent improvement from before as well as being able to unleash even more of them.
In honesty, when he used the tiger stance to leap forward, he could leap 5 meters ahead in one explosive leap.
Wang Chao could even jump over Boulder who was 1.9 meters tall in height. It was even possible for him to stand on top of his head if need be, this feat alone was already pushing the limits of the regular human body.
Sun Lu-tang had once written in his Narration of Xingyi that Guo Yunshen was capable of leaping 3 zhang with the tiger stance. During that time, a single zhang was 3 meters, meaning that Guo Yunshen was capable of leaping 9 meters. This was already tantamount to being an actual tiger rather than a human.
When a tiger leaps from their cave, it was approximately 10 meters.
Author note: This is not like the tigers in a zoo.
Although there was still a noticeable difference between he and his predecessors, the both of them had still had both the spirit and form. In the eyes of a martial artist, their skill was still something to be praised of.
“No wonder sis Chen recorded in the True Record of Guoshu, she could kill a man 36 steps away starting from a seated position.”
Suddenly, Wang Chao began to do the math. Two steps for a single person was almost a meter, meaning 36 steps was over 10 meters. Tang Zichen had already reached the peak of the Transforming Jin and could make a single leap of over 10 meters.
An african leopard could make a single pounce of 30 meters in a single second when chasing an antelope.
“Zhang Wei is a veteran of the Fist Altar and has experienced many battles. When he moves, I must be careful to not use Hidden Jin and stick to Clear Jin to fight.”
Wang Chao had not yet fully mastered the free usage of Hidden Jin in his back, chest, and lower back.
Because of Zhang Wei’s expertise and his ability to break out Jin in his back, Wang Chao didn’t dare to try use Hidden Jin in his fists to strike him in the back.
Hidden Jin was only a way of defense against the strike of a regular person. If an expert were to do so, then their fists would be over 500 kilograms in weight. Such a blow like this was harder than being hit with an iron rod.
Even if it was Zhang Wei, Wang Chao didn’t think that he would be willing to turn around as a defense for Wang Chao’s fist.
Looking at the videos of Zhang Wei, he had only used his back to bully those experts who had not yet learned the Hidden Jin. If he were to go against an opponent of the same level and tried the same strategy, then that would be foolish. The opponent would only snap his spine without a problem.
A weak spot was a weak spot in the end.
During the Republic of China, those martial artists who put on demonstrations would often ask a volunteer to use a wooden stick on their heads, waist, or back. However, instead of their bodies being hurt, the sticks instead had been splintered. This was an example of Hidden Jin being done decently. But if they were to fight with an actual expert, then they would only use their arms and legs to fight and would never even think about using any other part of their bodies to fight.
But nevertheless, if they were fighting a group of commoners, then the Hidden Jin would be able to work well enough.
Wang Chao’s arms and legs were completely solid, but his entire body had not yet had Hidden Jin being able to be released with ease. Even if it was a regular person, Wang Chao didn’t dare have them use a wooden stick or hammer to hit him on the back. But when the time comes when he was capable of Hidden Jin in that area, he would!
“Xinglong, you’re at the Shantou airport? Good, good. Then transfer the 100 million to the other bank account and make a check for it. Tomorrow you’ll be watching me fight Zhang Wei!”
After all the preparations were made that afternoon, Xinglong had flown over by an airplane and then drove to Chaozhou. By nightfall, he was at a hotel with Wang Chao.
After all, Wang Chao was working with Boulders and the others on a covert mission. If he were to be found out now, then Wang Chao would be short of any helpers. Since Xinglong was the director of the security for Tianxing Networking, it was only fitting that he was there.
Three suited up bodyguards with earpieces and solemn expressions had also traveled with Zhao Xinglong.
These three bodyguards were already familiar with Wang Chao, they were the mercenaries of Zhang Tong.
Aside from this, the board member and director, and also the most beautiful lady of S province Yao Xiaoxue had arrived.
“Chief Zhang had sent them to me and said that it would be an added benefit just in case we need it. Director Yao came since I’m not familiar with finances and didn’t want to get anything wrong.” Zhao Xinglong explained.
Yao Xiaoxue gave a faint smile, exuding the charm of an upper class woman. For the past few years, she had transformed from a college graduate to a successful entrepreneur. She was like a government official now and had the charm that was suited for one.
“This competition of yours involves the company. A bank loan of a hundred million isn’t a small sum of money even if the interest rates are low. Once you win, I’ll be returning it straight away. Since you guys aren’t familiar with how the finances work, I’ll naturally be the one in charge.”
True enough, when it came to finances on this scale, Wang Chao and Zhao Xinglong were as good as idiots.
Whether or not Wang Chao would win, Yao Xiaoxue didn’t know, but she still had to remain optimistic. But her words had been absolute instead of indecisive, meaning she had already predicted the outcome long before.
“En, that’s a good experience to have. When in such an event, one needs the right people to help deal with it.” Wang Chao approved.
Inputting the secret password to the silver suitcase, Yao Xiaoxue opened up the case, revealing the cash check inside. This check contained the hundred million RMB loan from the bank.
Seeing such a sight, Wang Chao could only sigh. Three years ago when he was nothing more than a high schooler that didn’t know about martial arts, he lived an impoverished life. Back then, even the sight of a hundred thousand was enough to poison his heart.
But now, a hundred million RMB hadn’t even fazed him. It could not even measure to the effect the hundred thousand had done to him before.
Zhang Tong had no idea that Wang Chao had joined an organization and had sent over several bodyguards as a method of protection. In Wang Chao’s mind, he had been extremely grateful to Zhang Tong for her assistance.
Ever since his appearance, Wang Chao had been in the care of Zhang Tong without ever giving back anything in return. So in his mind, he had resolved to return the favor one day.
“Back then, you had beaten me back at the Taekwondo dojo. Afterwards, no matter how fast I progressed with my martial arts, I couldn’t even hold a candle to you. Even now, you’ve already found yourself standing at the same stage of one of the Three Tigers of Guangdong in a battle of strength…”
Zhao Xinglong had felt excitement and regret. He was excited that he was back in the underground fighting world, but sad that he had been nothing more than a second-rate fighter. Everyday he had heard of how amazing or strong someone was, but he had never once seen the actual fighter or been to such a large-scale fight like this.
