Cultivating From Obtaining Experience

Chapter 12: Peace Is Most Important

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[What kind of martial art is so strong?]

[Isn’t it normal for a kung fu expert to kill a person with a single punch? There are even boxers that can knock a cow out in one punch.]

[Those are just rumors on the internet. Check how hard a cow’s skull is. If a person punches a cow’s head with all their strength, their fist will definitely be fractured from the force. And at most, that cow would only be a little dazed.]

[The only way a single punch can kill someone is if the victim was old, weak, sick, or had some physical illness.]

[The old, the weak, and the sick can support up to six concubines. Six days a week with only one day off at most.] A prankster commented.

[Is Pulse-Seizing Fist really that powerful? If there really is such an expert, what should we do if he attacks us?]

[You’re overthinking. Even if there really is such an expert out there, he wouldn’t have anything to do with us. Moreover, if there’s anything, we can look for the Public Security Bureau. No matter how powerful he is, can his strength go against a firearm?]

[That makes sense.]

Only then did Wang An realize that these people had actually created a chat group. Wang An applied to join and gave them his nickname.

He did not expect to get accepted, but not long after, he saw that they had approved. There were only 11 people in the group. They were all the ones whose names often popped up in the forum.

Some names included Taiji Yan and Broken Stream.

[Welcome, newcomer. Are you an ordinary person? Your username is quite interesting though. At a glance, it’s clear you’re not just an ordinary person!]

[The person’s autopsy report has been released, and the cause of death was a myocardial infarction. There was a soft tissue contusion on the left pectoral muscle] No Hands commented.

A question came from Taiji Yan.

[Where exactly was the soft tissue contusion?]

[Close to the heart, very close to the center of the chest.]

[It can’t really be a one-hit kill, right? What if the worst-case scenario happens and we really meet him? What should we do?]

[Run and shout for help. Don’t be embarrassed about it.]

Broken Stream had a different opinion.

[Fight and win!]

[Courageous, as expected of our senior.]

Taiji Yan commented, [To be honest, the Tai Chi that everyone is practicing now is no longer suited for combat. Those techniques have been removed. It is usual for someone who had practiced Tai Chi for seven to eight years to lose to a boxer or a martial artist who had only practiced for a year and a half. Don’t think that you’re so good just because you’ve practiced some martial arts. People who are arrogant underestimate dangers and get hurt.]

[Agreed. It’s not embarrassing to retreat.]

[Although I don’t have any evidence, I’m pretty sure that you’re talking about me. Actually, I’m very good at fighting!]

[We know. Who in the world hasn’t heard about senior Broken Stream?]

[Even if that kind of fighting style really exists, as long as I don’t get hit by him, I’ll be fine, right?] Wang An commented after thinking for a moment.

To sever a meridian, one had to touch the body, and the punch had to accurately land on the correct spot.

Taiji Yan replied, [That sounds reasonable. If your techniques are good enough, you can instantly negate the other fighter’s force and will have nothing to fear.]

[I still want to try fighting him.]

[There’s another possibility.]

Wang An exited the chat group while thinking about this matter.

“As long as you are fast enough, the other party will not be able to hit you. How can I increase my speed? I can increase the strength of the legs, speed up the transmission of strength to my muscles as well as my reaction speed.”

Perhaps he could practice in the swimming pool.

The next morning, after practicing Tai Chi in the park, he did not go to the Tai Chi Dojo. Instead, he went to the swimming pool and continued practicing Tai Chi in the water.

In the Tai Chi Dojo, Yang Zhang’s gaze swept across the crowd of students, but he did not see the person that he wanted to see.

“Where are you Wang An? Not too long ago, you would always come on time regardless of the wind and rain. Why aren’t you coming after winning the competition?”

Yang Zhang frowned slightly and let the students practice on their own.

Among the students, Liang Hong walked to his side.

“Senior, is there something on your mind?”

“That guy didn’t show up. Is he running away after humiliating me?”

“Maybe he had something come up today, senior, you’re too persistent,” Liang Hong chuckled. After all these years of getting along, he knew his senior brother’s temper all too well.

He cared too much about how other people saw him. There were only a few people who were strong enough to beat him, and Wang An beat him in front of all the students in the field he was best at. This was equivalent to slapping him in front of everyone. It was not a matter that was easy for him to let go of.

“We have to prepare for Master’s arrangements as soon as possible.”

“I know. It won’t affect anything.”

At the swimming pool, the swimming coach looked at Wang An, who was practicing Tai Chi in the water, with a face full of surprise and confusion.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m training my body’s coordination,” Wang An said with a smile.

“Is that so? That’s a strange way of practicing. It looks very unusual.” The coach smiled and stopped bothering him.

While Wang An was practicing in the pool, he felt that he had improved a little bit today. However, practicing in the water consumed a lot of energy, and after more than an hour, he felt tired.

After coming out of the pool, her stomach started rumbling.

At noon, he returned home and ate three big bowls of rice, a pot of beef, and a large plate of vegetables.

“I feel like my appetite has been getting bigger recently.”

In the afternoon, he went to the Intention Fist Martial Arts School. The person who taught him was a man in his thirties. He was 1.8 meters tall and had a strong back and waist.

Although there were only five students including Wang An, he still taught them very seriously.

When it was almost dark, Li Xinzhu entered the martial arts club with a gloomy face. It was as if he had lost money.

“What’s going on? Were you discovered as a spy?”

“Hmm, how did you know?” Li Xinzhu was stunned and looked at Wang An in surprise.

“I had a feeling. How did that happen?”

“It’s all because of Yang Zhang. He wanted to show how good he was at sparring, so he picked someone from the students to spar with him. He ended up picking me. At first, I was going to pretend to be weak and let him defeat me, but I didn’t expect him to take advantage of my kindness! He repeatedly demonstrated all sorts of moves on me. I couldn’t let him have his way with me after I paid him! So, I gave him a good punch in return. After that, he actually recognized the Intention Fist form that I used.”

“Damn it! He didn’t care about martial arts and only wanted to find someone to beat up. He’d better not let me see him in the future. I’ll beat him up every time I see him,” Li Xinzhu cursed. “Don’t you have a grudge against him? Let’s beat him up together.”

“Hey, don’t involve me in your personal grudges. I have no enmity with him. Didn’t they say that peace is the most important thing in the martial arts world?”

“In the martial arts world, your fists are the most important. But if you can’t win, then peace is the most important. In order to celebrate your joining our Intention Fist Martial Arts School, shall we have a drink together tonight?”

“No, I still have something to do. Thank you for the offer.” Wang An said. He did not want to interrupt the routine that he had established with great difficulty.

Just like that, almost two months passed, and the weather started getting colder.

Fewer people came to the swimming pool because of the cold, but Wang An came to the swimming pool almost every day.

[You practiced Tai Chi in the water. Your strength and technique have improved.]

[Tai Chi experience +50.]
