Chapter 7: Master and Apprentice Duel
... ...
At this moment
Zhurong shouted at the people from Shahe Gang: "Hey, you broke down the door of our Baozhilin, aren't you going to compensate us?"
As the members of the Shahe Gang left, they did not forget to cast a fierce glare at Chen Yan.
Chen Yanzhi believes that he does not owe Yan Zhendong anything
If this continues, the only one who will be embarrassed is Yan Zhendong
Yan Zhendong furrowed his brow, and a sharp gaze shot from his eyes: "Is everything you said true?"
The gate of Baozhilin was shattered by a powerful force
It is imperative to proceed
In terms of strength, Chen Yanzhi is still somewhat inferior to Yan Zhendong, as he has practiced for a shorter period of time. However, in other aspects, he is by no means less than Yan Zhendong. When it comes to the essence of Eagle Claw Kung Fu, Chen Yanzhi has comprehended even more than Yan Zhendong.
Chen Yanzhi nodded and said: "Yes, I did hit someone from the Shahe Gang..."
Master, Master
Roar
Yan Zhendong looked at the more than ten members of the Shahe Gang who had injuries to their limbs and bones, and his expression darkened. The injuries of these members were indeed caused by the capture techniques of the Eagle Claw Kung Fu.
Chen Yanzhi's martial arts were taught by Yan Zhendong, who was well-acquainted with his techniques. However, Chen Yanzhi had mastered the Eagle Claw technique to such a degree of purity and proficiency that it appeared effortless when he executed it. Furthermore, with Chen Yanzhi's extraordinary speed and agility, Yan Zhendong found it difficult to subdue him in a short period of time
Chen Yanzhi said: "Master, if you have something to discuss with me, just send someone to notify me, and I will naturally come to see you. Why do you need to come in person?"
The disciples nodded and said: "I dare to swear to heaven, every word is true. If the master does not believe, he can go and see those injured brothers; they are still lying in bed now."
The methods for deep sleep have long been lost.
Huang Feihong's expression changed: "Yan Zhi, practicing martial arts requires a gradual approach, and success will come naturally in due time. If one seeks quick results, it will lead to a misguided path. While the use of acupuncture techniques can indeed enhance one's abilities in a short period, it causes irreversible damage to the body. In the future, do not even mention the improvement of martial arts; if you do not end up with hidden injuries, that would be a stroke of luck in misfortune."
Huang Feihong looked at Yan Zhendong with a serious expression: "Master Yan, wouldn't it seem too overbearing for you to directly dismantle the main entrance of my Baozhilin?"
Chen Yanzhi has an astonishing memory. Huang Feihong gave him several medical books related to meridians and acupoints, and Chen Yanzhi was able to recite them fluently in less than half a day.
Yan Zhendong coldly laughed and said: "Haha, Chen Yanzhi, you have truly grown in skill. I would like to see just how far you have mastered your Eagle Claw Iron Shirt technique to dare speak to me in such a manner"
Chen Yanzhi approached Huang Feihong to discuss this matter
Yan Zhendong snorted coldly: "Stop the nonsense. I am no longer your master. Chen Yanzhi, tell me, did you fight with the members of the Shahe Gang a few days ago?"
Chen Yanzhi laughed in exasperation: "Since that is the case, I will not explain further. I believe I have not done anything to wrong the Yan family martial arts school, nor have I used the Eagle Claw Iron Shirt technique for any nefarious purposes. It seems that reclaiming my martial arts skills is unlikely to happen."
Master, you do not acknowledge me as your disciple, but I have always regarded you as my master. We practice the same martial arts; you cannot catch me, and I cannot defeat you. Let us cease our conflict here.
Yan Zhendong is currently practicing martial arts at the headquarters of the Shahe Gang. He is now the martial arts instructor of the Shahe Gang, residing there and seldom returning to the Yan Family Martial Arts School
Before Yan Zhendong finished speaking, he had already arrived in front of Chen Yanzhi
Yan Zhendong sneered and said: "Huang Feihong, apart from you, I do not regard any other martial artists in Foshan. Sooner or later, we will have a match, and I want to prove that I, Yan Zhendong, am the true number one in Foshan. However, I am not here to challenge you today; I have come to find Chen Yanzhi."
After Chen Yanzhi became a disciple under Yan Zhendong, he devoted himself entirely to considering the interests of Yan Zhendong and strategizing for the Yan family's martial arts school. However, Yan Zhendong brought members of the Shahe Gang into the martial arts school.
Huang Feihong was shocked: "Incredible. Truly incredible. In such a short time, Chen Yanzhi's martial arts can stand up to Yan Zhendong. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would believe such a thing?"
Huang Feihong asked in confusion: "Yan Zhi, your martial arts skills are improving every day. It won't be long before your boxing proficiency reaches my level. Why are you still thinking about taking shortcuts?"
Yan Zhendong is a martial artist, but he is not foolish; he does not believe in the one-sided words of the Shahe Gang, and seeing is believing. He said coldly: "Go, take me to see the injured person."
Yan Zhendong waved his hand to the members of the Shahe Gang and said, "Let’s go"
Having accepted the members of the Shahe Gang as disciples, Yan Zhendong's vanity was greatly satisfied. The disciples not only served him with abundant food and drink, but they were also very obedient, allowing him to savor the taste of power
Yan Zhendong said coldly: "Alright, everyone be quiet. I will go find Chen Yanzhi. If he does not provide an explanation, I will not hesitate to take decisive action."
Yan Zhendong, having listened to the one-sided account of the Shahe Gang, proceeded to clean up the ranks, leaving Chen Yanzhi truly disappointed
Chen Yanzhi shook his head: "Master Huang, you need not intervene. This matter is a misunderstanding between us, the master and disciple, and I will resolve it myself."
In the realm of martial arts, Chen Yanzhi can be said to have surpassed his predecessors.
Chen Yanzhi felt a gust of malevolent wind approaching, and he took a few steps back, engaging in a fierce exchange of blows with Yan Zhendong using the Eagle Claw technique
A member of the Shahe Gang approached Yan Zhendong and shouted
The duel between the two individuals can be described as exceptionally thrilling
Chen Yanzhi wanted to explain the reasons behind the matter, but Yan Zhendong interrupted him
Chen Yanzhi and Yan Zhendong fought for over a hundred exchanges, and their stamina significantly declined. After engaging in a strike with Yan Zhendong, Chen Yanzhi utilized his footwork to retreat more than ten meters, creating distance between himself and Yan Zhendong
The most skilled physician in Foshan is Huang Feihong. Chen Yanzhi expressed his desire to study medicine under Huang Feihong, who readily agreed without hesitation
Yan Zhendong retracted his fists and exhaled, asking: "What is the matter?"
Yan Zhendong burst in with the members of the Shahe Gang
Huang Feihong and Chen Yanzhi's expressions changed, and upon hearing the commotion, Zhu Rou Rong, Ya Ca Su, and Shi San Yi, among others, all came out.
A few days ago, Chen Yanzhi could only match Guijiao Qi, but now he can actually contend with Yan Zhendong. This means that, aside from being slightly inferior in physical stamina, Chen Yanzhi is not weaker than Huang Feihong in terms of martial arts mastery.
fist, palm, claw, leg techniques, grappling techniques, alternating attacks
Although both individuals employed the Eagle Claw technique, their styles of boxing were entirely different
Huang Feihong's disciples all possess good talent for martial arts, but none of them are capable of inheriting his medical skills. When Chen Yan came to learn medicine, Huang Feihong naturally welcomed him with open arms
"Master, Chen Yanzhi is being excessively tyrannical, you must avenge us." The injured gang member cried out loudly in front of Yan Zhendong, "Everyone in Foshan knows that we, the Shahe Gang, are your disciples. We were beaten because we were outmatched, but if you do not stand up for us, others will say that you are afraid of that ungrateful disciple, Chen Yanzhi."
With Ling Yunkai's assistance, Chen Yanzhi found things much easier at the noodle shop. In addition to practicing martial arts, he also developed an interest in studying medicine. Since ancient times, medicine and martial arts have been closely related; mastering medical skills provides a more systematic understanding of the human body, which in turn makes martial arts practice more effective.
Bang
Acupuncture is a profound discipline. Chen Yanzhi contemplated whether it is possible to use acupuncture to stimulate the meridians and acupoints in order to enhance one's abilities and physical strength
Huang Feihong nodded slightly. Since Chen Yanzhi had brought the matter to this point, he certainly could not intervene further. However, if Chen Yanzhi were to encounter danger, he would undoubtedly step in to offer assistance
Chen Yanzhi said: "Of course, I hope to become stronger!"
"Well, since you admit that you were the one who attacked, do not blame me for being impolite," Yan Zhendong shouted loudly. "Chen Yanzhi, you learned martial arts from me, and just after being expelled from the sect, you dare to strike at the people of the Yan family martial arts school. How can I tolerate this? Today, I will disable your martial arts and cleanse the ranks.
Moreover, with Wong Fei-hung by his side, he would certainly not allow himself to waste Chen Yanzhi's martial arts skills.
Chen Yanzhi let out a bitter laugh: "What Master Huang said is true. Practicing martial arts to strengthen the body, how could there be a shortcut?" It seems that trying to use acupuncture to enhance his skills is not feasible. For the sake of immediate benefits, Chen Yanzhi cannot allow himself to sever the path to the pinnacle of martial arts.
Yan Zhendong's martial arts are fierce and domineering, akin to a ferocious tiger hunting its prey. Chen Yanzhi's Eagle Claw technique, on the other hand, combines strength with softness, characterized by agile and sharp movements, reminiscent of a soaring eagle swooping down on a rabbit
Yan Zhendong's face turned ashen; he did not expect that Chen Yanzhi's martial arts had actually reached a level where he could contend with him. If they continued to fight, it would be impossible to win without a few hundred moves.
Yan Zhendong said to Huang Feihong: "Huang Feihong, you are the chief instructor of the militia, a prominent figure in Guangdong. I trust your words"
Huang Feihong said: "Yanzhi, let me shield you."
"Master, Chen Yanzhi has beaten the brothers in the gang," said the gang members. "Chen Yanzhi has been expelled from the sect by the master, harboring deep resentment. He does not dare to lay a hand on the master, so he relies on the martial arts skills learned from you to injure us. More than ten brothers in the gang have already had their arms and legs broken by Chen Yanzhi"
Huang Feihong was unaware that Chen Yanzhi entered deep sleep every night, his physique continuously strengthening, and his strength increasing daily. This method of practice was akin to activating a cheat code.
Huang Feihong said: "When practicing martial arts, it is better to maintain a calm and ordinary mindset."
Chen Yanzhi is able to enter deep sleep because he has read extensively, drawing insights from Buddhism and Taoist scriptures.
... ...
Huang Feihong said: "Master Yan, Chen Yanzhi fought with the people from the Shahe Gang. I am aware of the circumstances surrounding this matter, and he was indeed forced into a corner. Yanzhi was arrested and taken to the jail of the prefectural office for fighting, and it was I who facilitated the connections to secure his release. You should trust my words, Master Yan."
Yan Zhendong's pent-up anger erupted, and his attacking moves were fierce and vigorous, even producing a faint sound reminiscent of a tiger's roar.
