Chapter 2, Kung Fu
He was born into a family of martial artists and began practicing martial arts from a young age. While each family member has their own career outside, they all share a unified goal internally, which is to inherit and promote Chinese martial arts. However, despite this stated intention, Gu Fei feels that apart from himself and his father, no one else truly cares about this matter anymore
We practice martial arts to strengthen ourselves and push the limits of the human body, not to seek bravado or engage in violence, the old man said earnestly
Before Gu Fei could finish speaking, his father responded with a punch. Coming from a family of martial artists, when reasoning fails, one must resort to fists to reveal the truth. That year, his father's physique was still quite robust, and his skills surpassed Gu Fei's. Moreover, Gu Fei certainly could not engage in a serious fight with his father, resulting in him being thoroughly beaten and left searching for his teeth. ... That day was precisely the day Gu Fei came to Yulin for an interview ...
At this moment, Gu Fei felt quite helpless, as various limitations prevented him from executing many of his martial arts techniques. It seemed that even if he chose a profession like a fighter, his skills could not be utilized without the support of upgraded points. Conversely, although he was currently a mage, as long as he allocated his upgrade points towards agility and strength, he still had the opportunity to showcase his martial arts skills. This thought invigorated Gu Fei.
Gu Fei wanted to prove it to them, but the result was met with even deeper disdain
The leader was taken aback; he had thought that Gu Fei was merely hitting himself casually. However, from the tone of his voice, it seemed as if he was indicating that he would strike wherever he pleased
I will never allow you to use your skills to harm anyone!" the old man said emphatically m.hetushu.com.com
Gu Fei maneuvered between the three individuals. Although his physical strength and constitution were extremely weak due to being a mage, his agility was still passable. At least, since they were all novices and had not yet leveled up or allocated points, the difference was not particularly noticeable. From time to time, Gu Fei would throw a punch or kick, relying on his rich combat experience to land hits on his opponents. The three individuals had yet to even touch the hem of Gu Fei's clothing. The leader of the group grew increasingly astonished: this guy was more than just capable; fortunately, he was a mage. If he were someone with greater physical strength, the three of them would have been knocked down by now.
Afa, who had been watching the live broadcast from the alley, was left dumbfounded. It wasn't until several individuals had disappeared from sight that he came to his senses, rushed into the alley, and looked at Gu Fei with a face full of astonishment, saying: "Teacher, you really know martial arts?"
The three assailants realized that not only could they not handle Gu Fei, but this fellow was becoming more spirited with each blow. Just a moment ago, he had even displayed a very contented smile, which made them even more anxious.
Of course, the teacher has been practicing martial arts since childhood. Gu Fei's words were no different from what he usually said at school, and even his tone and demeanor remained unchanged
Ultimately, after being eliminated from all sports, Gu Fei still managed to remain in the sports field, if one considers being a physical education teacher as part of it
Wait! Gu Fei spoke, "After beating someone, do you think you can just leave without apologizing?"
Sorry for ... ... ! The two individuals were completely terrified by the sight of the leader rolling on the ground and howling in agony, stammering out their apologies.
"You still have one eye left," Gu Fei said to the one rolling on the ground. After speaking, he kicked up a stone, and two pieces of debris flew into the air. Gu Fei clenched his fist, his gaze sweeping towards the other two individuals beside the leader: "This time, I have two pieces of debris in my hand."
Reality is quite helpless. In this era, it is indeed difficult to make a living through martial arts
"You are mistaken. The best way to take down the opponent is to use a handgun!" said the old man
to shoot a gun
Two guys charged in from both sides, while another guy retreated to the mouth of the alley to prevent Gu Fei from escaping
A scream echoed as the leader fell to the ground, clutching his right eye, rolling back and forth, his wails resounding endlessly. The pain of having one's eye blinded is on an entirely different level than merely receiving a black eye
"Are bad people also not allowed?" Gu Fei asked
Even in the realm of martial arts itself, Gu Fei was unable to make a living.
Gu Fei merely smiled faintly, bent down to pick up a piece of broken stone, and suddenly raised his hand, striking the leader squarely on the forehead with a "bang".
The martial arts practiced by Gu Fei emphasize the development of oneself and combat skills. This leaves him at a disadvantage in performance-based martial arts events, while his father strictly prohibits him from participating in combat events where he could truly showcase his strengths
The uncles and older male relatives are still somewhat capable, but in my generation, there isn't even a single opponent to spar with. Moreover, they are filled with disdain for Gu Fei, who has devoted himself to martial arts since childhood: "What era is it now? The skies are filled with airplanes, and the streets are full of electricity and knowledge. Martial arts? Can martial arts put food on the table?"
"Indeed, he has some skills." The leader's expression changed, but he did not appear overly flustered. Gu Fei's kick landed, but its power was evidently quite limited. He immediately shouted, "He's just a mage, no need to be afraid." After shouting, he rushed over to join the fray.
Gu Fei remained silent, extending his foot to hook and lift a piece of rubble, while his right hand swung in a sweeping motion
The three individuals endured quite a few punches and kicks from Gu Fei. Although the force was not heavy, the cumulative effect was still quite unpleasant. Especially later, Gu Fei deliberately targeted the same area repeatedly. At this moment, the three of them were in a sorry state: the one on the left had a dark bruise around his left eye, the one on the right had a dark bruise around his right eye, and the leader in the middle had a nosebleed that flowed incessantly. He spoke with caution, afraid that the blood would drip into his mouth, and after tilting his head and wiping it with his hand, he said to the other three, "Let's go"
However, the father's greater insistence remains the view that "martial arts are not meant for bravado and violence"
Apologize? The leader laughed, "You can't kill me, so why should I apologize?" This statement is not without merit. Gu Fei had been entangled for so long, and all he had caused the three of them were two black eyes and two bloody noses, which were not unbearable injuries. As for death, that was even less likely. In the game, death occurs only when health points reach zero. In the current situation, despite everyone being beaten to a pulp, their health points remained intact, which must be said to be a significant bug in the game.

Gu Fei forced a smile. If this were reality, his move "Double Flying Swallows" would never hit just one person. However, in the game, his speed was completely limited by the mage's poor physique and the data of the game, making it impossible to execute this move fully; he could only use half of it. Moreover, the reduction in power was even more severe. The guy on the left, after taking a kick from him, merely covered his face in shock and stared at him. In reality, if someone took a kick like that to the head, they would at least be unconscious for four or five hours. The reduction in power was even more severe.

"Breaking through the limits of the human body, is it not to better defeat the opponent?" Gu Fei questioned, puzzled
"Let's go!" Gu Fei waved his hand, and the two hurriedly helped the leader who was on the ground. This person covered his right eye with one hand, while his left eye was tightly shut, trembling all over in pain, stammering, "Go... hurry, help me go..." The other two were taken aback for a moment, then quickly stepped forward to assist him in leaving, while the person who had been guarding the alley entrance had long since disappeared.
The leader took two steps back in fright, but then thought to himself, "Hitting the eyes? How could that be so miraculous?" He soon felt relieved and laughed heartily, saying, "Kid, who are you trying to scare?"
Two men rushed in an instant, one swinging a fist and the other kicking a leg. Gu Fei remained calm and took a slight step back, successfully evading the attacks from both sides. He then lifted his left leg and struck the face of the man on the left, but when he attempted to kick with his right leg, he found that the man on the right had already retreated in surprise.
"So, what is the use of kung fu?" Gu Fei lamented, hating himself for not being able to comprehend everything like his father, and constantly entangled in the question of what kung fu can be used for
The leader was furious: "You ... ... "
No! The old man is very certain, "There will naturally be police for bad people, and there are laws to punish them"
Kung Fu, is it really so difficult to survive in today's society and the world of *books*? Gu Fei felt an immense sadness. He rarely attends family gatherings now. In the past, the older generation regarded Gu Fei's commitment to the inheritance of Kung Fu as exemplary, using him to educate his peers. However, now, seeing his peers dressed elegantly and leading seemingly successful lives, while Gu Fei has fallen to the point of being a physical education teacher, the older generation has begun to doubt. Aside from Gu Fei's father, no one else believes that Gu Fei is the most promising among them.

The street-level thuggery techniques of using knives and bricks were, in Gu Fei's eyes, riddled with flaws. Gu Fei had no intention of getting entangled with these guys, so he withdrew from the fray at an opportune moment and smiled, "Do you want to continue fighting?"
The old man nodded solemnly: "Yes, shoot the gun!"
In reality, your eyes are certainly fine, but in the game, you will henceforth be blind... Do not forget, this is a holographic simulation game," Gu Fei said
Gu Fei indeed possesses martial arts skills
However, due to the scene of being brutally beaten by his father outside the school gate being filmed and spread, when Gu Fei wanted to promote martial arts at Yulin, he was labeled with the shameful title.
The sports arena, which seems to be the field where one can most easily showcase their skills, has been explored by Gu Fei one by one. Some events have led to repeated violations due to an inability to grasp the rules, such as raising the foot too high in soccer and colliding with others while dribbling in basketball. In other events, even with skill, it is not sufficient, as seen in board games. Additionally, there are events where Gu Fei has inherent disadvantages, such as swimming and diving—Gu Fei cannot swim
"If this hits your eyes, what would you do now?" Gu Fei said leisurely
However ... ...
