Chapter 0003: Boarding

Is this the legendary Yi Jin Jing?

Alright, the imperfections in your genes have now been repaired. As long as it is not a very special virus, it will not come after you. You may proceed now

Chen Kan actually does not understand what it means, but it sounds quite impressive.

There is no need to mention "Ip Man"; Chen Kan only knows of one series, but he does not know which installment of "Ip Man" this is.

After thinking for a while, Chen Kan decided that he would choose "Huo Yuanjia"

Therefore, in the end, Chen Kan chose: "I choose, Huo Yuanjia"

However, he did not fully master Wing Chun Kung Fu. He was a disciple who performed the traditional gestures of respect, such as bowing and serving tea. It is said that later, after Bruce Lee became famous, he sought to have Ip Man teach him the remaining techniques of the wooden dummy, but he was unsuccessful

Good! The old man nodded, waved his right hand, and the words "Yip Man" along with the ladder disappeared from the boat

Touching his neck, Chen Kan asked, "Elder, what is this?"

May I go up now? Chen Kan asked politely

Is this fixed

Now please choose an island, we are about to set off! The old man looked at Chen Kan, his expression no longer as serious as it was a moment ago, and Chen Kan seemed to catch a hint of a smile.

Why

Then why is there no black substance flowing out

It is not to say that "Ip Man" is not good; Wing Chun, along with Ip Man and Bruce Lee, has become very popular and well-known around the world. The phrase "I want to fight ten!" is something that Chen Kan often hears his classmates mention

It is still not possible now

Chen Kan roughly understood the purpose of this ship; simply put, it allows him to actively traverse. What he needs to do now is to assess which of these two worlds, or rather, which of these two islands, presents a better choice for him

However, this has also brought about a problem. Currently, Chen Kan is empty-handed and has no money at all. Even if he wants to exchange money, something happened. As a history student, how can one earn money during that time?

Didi ... ...

However, in most film and television works, in order to highlight the "Grandmaster of a Generation," Huo Yuanjia, in teaching his disciples, essentially left no room for maneuver and imparted all his unique skills to the disciples of Jingwu School

Oh! Chen Kan did not suspect anything else, he stepped forward, originally thinking that there was nothing to it, as he believed he could not have any prohibited items on him

The elderly person did not speak, Chen Kan lowered his head to look at himself and murmured softly

Chen Kan cannot guarantee that he will learn all of Wing Chun under the tutelage of Ip Man

This is akin to the smile of his master's supervisor; upon seeing that faint smile, Chen Kan inexplicably felt a sense of reassurance

The situation with "Huo Yuanjia" is rather complicated, as there are many works about Huo Yuanjia, and Chen Kangen has no idea which "Huo Yuanjia" world it will be.

The old man nodded slightly, then closed his eyes, his expression devoid of emotion

The second installment of "Ip Man" should be the easiest to learn martial arts, as long as one has money

Security check is still required

The elderly man did not speak, but with a wave of his right hand, an iron frame suddenly appeared beside him.

Studying martial arts is a matter that requires bowing and paying respect to a master; only true disciples can learn authentic martial arts. Although Ip Man is a master of martial arts, he places great importance on the traditions of the school.

However, "Huo Yuanjia" is different; regardless of which version it is, the "Jingwu Association" in Huo Yuanjia remains unchanged, and it is possible that the historical Huo Yuanjia also retained some aspects.

Is Bruce Lee considered excellent? Of course, he is at least more excellent than Chen Kan

On this point, Chen Kan tends to choose "Huo Yuanjia"

"Old man, how should I deal with this virus?" Chen Kan looked at the old man with some difficulty. For ordinary security checks, unqualified items can simply be removed, but how can Chen Kan remove this virus?

Although Huo Yuanjia is not as popular as Ip Man now, nor does he have the same level of recognition as Wing Chun, after careful consideration, Chen Kan still chose "Huo Yuanjia".

Another point to consider is time; learning martial arts is not a matter of one or two years, but rather requires long-term training. The time span in "Ip Man" is not long, at most just a few months. Bruce Lee studied for five to six years and still did not master it all, just a few months. Chen Kan does not believe that he possesses more talent than Bruce Lee.

Both of these individuals are martial artists, so their primary task upon entering must certainly be to learn martial arts. Therefore, the sole criterion for weighing the two worlds is the study of martial arts.

Throughout history, there have been significant events such as the Black Death that spread from Asia to Europe, and smallpox that was brought from Europe to the Americas. These are all historical disasters caused by "viruses from different worlds".

Virus! The old man looked at Chen Kan and uttered two words

What is going on? I am not wearing anything else!

May I take a moment to think, elder?

Yip Man and Huo Yuanjia are both renowned martial artists in Chinese history, and numerous film and television adaptations have been made about them

Moreover, another question that Chen Kan considers is—how much can be learned

Because the world originally had no antibodies against this disease, once the virus began to spread, the consequences...

You may now board the ship

The iron door rang sharply, and then Chen Kan felt as if a hand was pushing him. He stepped back a few paces, truly embodying the sentiment of "wherever it came from, return to where it belongs"

This is merely the wooden dummy method, not the entirety of Wing Chun's essence. Although Wing Chun includes the character "fist," it also encompasses a series of martial arts such as the Six-and-a-Half-Point Staff and the Eight-Cutting Knives. It is said that Bruce Lee was not proficient in these.

Then let's proceed with the security check. I currently have nothing on me except for this outfit. How else can the elderly be subjected to a security check? Are you going to search me?

There have been three installments of "Ip Man" to date. Chen Kan has watched the first two. In the first installment, it is quite difficult to become a disciple of Ip Man, as he was still a wealthy young man at that time. Chen Kan does not arrogantly consider himself a martial arts prodigy capable of earning the recognition of Ip Man during that period.

Oh, oh, oh, good, right away! Chen Kan has successfully passed the security check this time

Walk over there

However, "Huo Yuanjia" is different. In many film and television works, the time span surrounding Huo Yuanjia is quite long. Of course, there are some that are relatively short, but at least it is possible to draw from films with a long time span.

Simply! As the old man waved his right hand again, Chen Kan felt a flash before his eyes, followed by a sharp pain in his neck, as if something had pierced it. However, everything happened too quickly, and Chen Kan did not have time to react before it was over

Chen Kan suddenly realized that traversing different worlds, the virus is indeed the most serious contraband item

"What? Such a high-end ship still has security checks?" Chen Kan expressed his confusion, but "when in Rome, do as the Romans do," he said, spreading his hands.
