Chapter 138: Feeling the Internal Martial Arts When Urinating and Defecating (2/2)

“Aiya!” Huo Ling’er suddenly stood up with a shout as if ready to bare her fangs and frightening the others around her. Her eyes had a clear spark of gold in them, “Are you the very same master of Xingyiquan, Wang Chao of the Qingdao, Laoshan School of Internal Martial Arts who killed the Japanese martial artist Ye Xuan?”

“How did my defeat of Ye Xuan reach the ears of even Hong Kong?” Wang Chao was surprised.

“I know about Ye Xuan, he’s extremely strong! When I was in Japan, I came to know him. But his martial arts, it’s truly amazing. With a single hand, he could cripple a person. And yet, you beat him. It’s no wonder you are brother Chen Aiyang are good friends.”

Huo Ling’er’s eyes measured up Wang Chao with a clear look of eager anticipation and adoration–similar to those woman who chased after fame and fortune.

“Master Wang Chao, if I may ask for your guidance!” Huo Ling’er’s eyes suddenly grew serious and her womanly aura taken back. With a stiffening of her body, she seemed to gain the air of a martial artist expert.

But when Wang Chao looked, Huo Ling’er’s hair and skin had keyed up. Yet it did not noticeably spike straight up. This was the hardness of external martial artists who did not understand the essence of internal martial arts.

“Ling’er, this is a business area where the paparazzi can film us. This’ll bring trouble.” Zhang Tong shook her head as the other women in her group moved to restrain the violent girl while giving a surprised look at Wang Chao.

“No worries, master Wang Chao, this one hopes to receive some pointers. There’s an open area over there, secluded even. Would you be willing?” Huo Ling’er spoke unflinchingly.

“Very well.” When Wang Chao looked at her, he felt that she was a bit of an idiot, but he had nodded nonetheless.

“Great!” Huo Ling’er immediately began to walk ahead while Wang Chao walked behind her like an honored guest. “Oh, the rest of you don’t need to come, only master Wang Chao and I will go.”

“Let her go at least.” Zhang Tong spoke in regards to Lin Yanan.

Past several areas with glass walls was a secluded area suitable for fighting.

“Master Wang Chao, please!” Huo Ling’er suddenly stood still with her body stiff and a ready posture. One fist was ready to protect the chest and face while the other hand chopped through the air with such an intensity that it seemed to crackle as the hand passed through it.

“A good hand made of pure external force. With that, she was able to bring the power through her arm to produce an explosive sound. This woman is talented.” Wang Chao was stunned for a moment before extending out two fingers. In an instant, he moved to clamp onto Huo Ling’er’s wrist.

No matter how much Huo Ling’er twisted and thrashed, she could not break free. It was as if Wang Chao’s two fingers were made from iron.

“Master Wang, I hope you can take me in as your disciple!” Despite her best efforts, Huo Ling’er could not escape. Knowing that it was impossible, her body suddenly softened as she gave up her attempt.

“What, take you in as my disciple?” Wang Chao was startled. “We only just met, but she wants me to be her master, what prank is this?” Wang Chao felt that this woman was exceedingly difficult to deal with.

“If you don’t take me in, then I won’t get up.” Huo Ling’er was determined. “You killed Ye Xuan and forced master Zhang Wei of the Three Tigers of Guangdong to jump into the ocean. Then, you killed the disciple of “Little Arm Saint” Master Xu Zhen who doesn’t even dare fight you for revenge. You even took part of the competition between brother Chen Aiyang and the Chamber of Commerce in Singapore. I’ve long since heard that your martial arts was unmatched in the world. I truly ask of you to take me in as your disciple.”

“This girl must be a fan of mine.” Wang Chao suddenly felt an oncoming headache. When he entered the shop, he came across Zhang Tong by accident. But who would have known that he would also come across such a troublesome girl as well.

“Fine, fine. Get up then. I’ve still some matters to attend to. If you really wish for me to be your master, then go to Laoshan. Your hand at Karate is fine, but that is a branch of the external martial arts. You don’t know the secrets of the internal martial arts. I’ll impart to you a single secret from the internal martial arts. If you’re skilled enough in it after half a year’s worth of time, then come to Laoshan. If you are not, then don’t bother on coming.” Wang Chao suddenly thought of a way to resolve of this troublesome matter.

“What secret?” Huo Ling’er gleefully stood upright.

“I can see that your palms and arms are quite rough and coarse. The skin isn’t that good either. That is the result of your practicing, and make up will not help you. Take a look at my own skin, it is even more meticulous than yours.” Wang Chao extended his fist. Then, with a pulse of Jin, the hair on his hand jettisoned straight up and goosebumps the size of soybeans could be seen in a numerous, yet frightening display.

“How does one achieve this? Master!” Huo Ling’er called out to Wang Chao properly.

“Ai! First, don’t call me master.” Wang Chao spoke up in a hurry. “Having the hair and skin rise. These two are the essence of internal martial arts. When you’ve practiced to such a degree like this, then the old skin will fall off and regain its luster. The joints will reduce in size while the density increases before ultimately your muscles become like copper and your bones like iron.

“How does one make the hair and skin stand up?” Huo Ling’er quickly asked.

“To lift the hair and skin, one must first lift the dantian and lift the tailbone.” Wang Chao thought for a second longer. “The dantian is in the lower abdomen. To feel the dantian rising, one first must feel as if they are urinating. In the moment when one urinates, they are susceptible to trembling. When they tremble, the hair and skin on the body lifts. At the same time, when one defecates, the sphincter will affect the tailbone and cause it to lift. No matter what branch of internal martial arts, the beginning can be started from this realization. Go back and understand this. Do not say it is vulgar, this is the truth.”

Wang Chao’s way of speaking had been quite vulgar, but his explanation of martial arts had hit the nail on the head. It had been far more clear than saying to move water and fire or to have the Qi sink into the dantian in the Classics of the Fist by a hundred times over.

“So that’s the meaning! It is no wonder master was so unwilling to teach me, it was because he was unwilling to say it!” Huo Ling’er’s face had gone red at first before thinking about it and nodding.

“Good. I’ve told you the essence of internal martial arts, go home and think of the meaning. When you have achieved it, come find me in Laoshan. I will formally accept you then.” Wang Chao let out a long sigh as if he had managed to get rid of this troublesome girl.

“Master, I heard that Shi Yongxin and several great warrior monks from the Shaolin Temple came to Hong Kong. You were invited by them I think, did you see them yet? Is their martial arts strong? Did you fight against them?” Huo Ling’er was truly a fan of Wang Chao. When she saw him leave, she immediately moved to follow right behind him.

“This Huo Ling’er is very knowledgeable about the matters in the Jianghu. Ye Xuan’s death at my hands, Zhang Wei’s defeat, and even me being a substitute for Chen Aiyang. She knows about them all.” Wang Chao remarked.
