Chapter 319 Skill Upgrade: The Master is Stunned!

Well known.

Although the United States has not been established for long, political families and oligarchic forces are numerous and powerful.

The Roosevelt family, for example, is now a real estate tycoon in New York, with a family trust that has lasted for a century and a history of political activity.

The longer-established Adams family is known as the "American Royal Family."

And the Bush family, currently in power, whose pillars are oil, military industry, and sports industry, with father and son serving as presidents, is known as the "Bush Dynasty".

……

According to statistics, in the United States, which is known as a democracy, nearly 20% of members of Congress are elites from various families.

That's not all; there are also the people supporting the powerful families behind the scenes.

Some large families were somewhat distant from Tang Wen.

The two women in the photo come from prominent Californian families.

The blonde woman with short hair is named Olivia Newsom Brown. As her name suggests, she is the daughter of the Newsom and Brown families, two prominent Californian families, who are formed through marriage.

It is the link between the two families.

He also has the ability, so he works at Forbes.

She is the niece of the former governor and the niece of the current mayor of San Francisco.

Of course, in America, the distinction isn't so clear-cut; they all call each other niece.

She was originally betrothed to a business family, but less than two years into the marriage, she left him due to personality clashes and divorced him.

He easily received tens of millions of US dollars, a villa, several luxury apartments, and some shares.

After listening to Robert's introduction, Tang Wen commented, "These family elites really know how to make money!"

Robert shook his head: "If she can endure it for ten years, according to California law, she can get at least three hundred million dollars."

The Brown family has a strong grip on all aspects of life in California.

Over the years, Berkeley College has produced dozens of federal judges for the United States.

It has a huge influence!
"Is the remaining one also someone of great importance?"

“That’s right,” Robert said.
"Sarah Getty, of French and American descent, comes from the Getty family, which originally ran an oil business but lost out in the competition and sold the oil company for billions."

Currently, besides trusts, the family's assets mainly consist of real estate and cultural and artistic industries...

At the same time, they are also actively involved in politics, with the eldest daughter of the family, Sarah Getty, being a prime example.

Robert put in the effort; these two women weren't chosen randomly.

A political family and a long-established capitalist family.

Moreover, they are key figures in their respective families.

If Tang Wen can really win them over, he can naturally leverage the power behind them.

Tang Wen leaned heavily against the sofa and closed his eyes: "Buddy, do you think I'm the kind of person who would sell out my feelings for business?"

Robert's lips twitched: "Don, your skin is as thick as the mayor and governor of Los Angeles!"

Ignoring Tang Wen's reaction, he continued his introduction:

"Sarah Getty, whose husband died in a car accident four years ago, has an eight-year-old daughter who lives with her grandmother. She is focused on her work, which is a good opportunity to make a move. By the way, her hobby used to be playing tennis."

Tang Wen: "..."

“The Olivia Brown above is a bit difficult to deal with. She is 6 feet tall, over 1.8 meters, but those who have met her suspect that she underreported her height and that her real height is closer to 1.95 meters.”

He enjoys shooting and hand-to-hand combat. He's said to be quite skilled; for example, he can dual-wield pistols…

"It's so difficult to do business in America!" Tang Wen shook his head as he listened.

So, which one do you choose?

"Dude, only kids make choices."

"Ok?"

"Let me try to get to know them first."

Seeing that he had agreed, Robert looked completely relieved: "You're an expert when it comes to dealing with women, so I won't say more."

"What do you mean I'm an expert? I'm a devoted person." Tang Wen felt greatly insulted.

Robert: "...Dude, I take back what I said earlier, your skin is as thick as the Governor of California's."

After saying that, he tilted his head back, downed the whiskey in his glass, made a few more casual remarks, and left.

Tang Wen waved his hand, didn't give it away, and looked down at the photo.

In the photo, Olivia Brown is dressed in a Ferrari business suit, looking dashing and with an exaggerated figure.

Her chest looked like it was hiding a pair of watermelons, and her legs were over a meter long.

"A 1.95-meter-long truck? I've never driven one before."

Looking at another photo of Sarah Getty, she has a beautiful face and blue eyes as beautiful as jewels.

"It's not impossible."

You like shooting, boxing, and tennis, right?
These are things I could learn.

Tang Wen had always been interested in marksmanship and martial arts, but he had been too busy to pay attention to it.

Looking back now, I realize that practicing martial arts was necessary.

America is not a safe place. Even with bodyguards, you still need to practice your reflexes.

He immediately arranged for someone to go to Chinatown to invite several skilled boxers to his home to teach him martial arts.

The more active martial arts styles in Chinatown include:
Wing Chun, made famous by Bruce Lee, is one of the mainstream martial arts styles in major Chinatowns.

Then there's Jeet Kune Do, which Bruce Lee later created—a modern mixed martial arts system that integrates many different styles.

Tai Chi Chuan, mainly based on Yang and Chen styles, combines health preservation with combat techniques.

At the same time, it also promoted traditional Chinese medicine theories.

Finally, there are Shaolin boxing and staff techniques.

California's Chinatown has a long history.

Many of these boxing gyms have moved several times and changed their signs multiple times, but the fact that they have been able to survive for so long shows that they have real skills.

Tang Wen was prepared to spend money to hire three masters who were skilled in different styles of boxing to come to his home and teach him boxing.

In a money-driven society, it's not difficult to provide enough US dollars.

A senior master of Yang-style Tai Chi accepted the job and will visit early tomorrow morning.

The boxing gym that specializes in Shaolin Kung Fu also accepted the deposit.

Jeet Kune Do is a bit more complicated. If you want to learn the real stuff, you have to ask someone from the original "Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute" founded by Bruce Lee, which is now the Auckland Jeet Kune Do Academy.

Moreover, the master chef didn't come; instead, the mentor who introduced him to the profession came.

That's enough for Tang Wen.

He can add points as soon as he gets to the basics.

Besides martial arts, if you want to make it in high society in America, you also have to learn the sports they like.

In the United States, there are four aristocratic sports: golf, equestrianism, tennis, and sailing.

Tang Wen signed up for the first three types of courses. He didn't need an expert coach for this; an ordinary coach would suffice.

Add a dot at the end, and you'll receive the knowledge empowerment.

He had little interest in the last sport, sailing.

After thinking about it, I decided to sign up for the flying club.

I'm preparing to study for my commercial aircraft license.

Most wealthy people might obtain a sports license, which means operating a small, single-engine aircraft for recreational flying.

The sports license is for private use.

Its application scope is already very wide; it can be used for all kinds of small aircraft, whether single-engine or multi-engine, whether seaplane or landplane.

They can also pilot helicopters, airships, and the like.

Tang Wen wants to study Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), which is the last type of aircraft. After passing the exam, he can fly jet aircraft.

This is also in preparation for buying a private jet in the future.

He often flies across the Pacific Ocean. If something were to happen to the captain and co-pilot during a flight, he couldn't just hold onto the flight attendants, scream, and then crash into the sea.

Besides, learning to fly isn't difficult.

The next day.

Master Yang, who teaches Tai Chi, arrived at Tangwen Villa after breakfast.

This is an elderly man wearing a Tang suit, with half-white hair and beard.

He has a reserved demeanor and clear eyes.

He looks just like the masters described in novels.

'He really has the air of a master,' Tang Wen thought to himself.

Master Yang walked into the villa, sat down to drink tea, saw Tang Wen, and then looked behind him at Lin Zhiling, Naomi, and Scarlett with curious eyes.

Even though Master Yang has excellent self-control.

He couldn't help but be stunned.

According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, all three of these beautiful women are somewhat weak.

The emptiness caused by excessive indulgence.

but--

Upon closer inspection, Tang Wen's complexion was rosy and his eyes were bright, showing no signs of weakness.

Master Yang was curious, but he remained calm.

Patiently wait for Tang Wen to finish his meal, then go outside and teach him standing meditation.

Tang Wen struck a pose, and while Master Yang corrected his movements, he casually touched his bones.

He was even more surprised; the muscles and bones were incredibly strong, stronger than those of martial arts students who had trained for over a decade.

He's a natural-born martial arts practitioner!

An excellent candidate for a closed-door disciple!
"Mr. Tang, how old are you this year?"

"Uh, 22."

"It's never too late to start practicing martial arts."

"Really? I thought it required virginity training." "Having virginity training is certainly good, but for someone with such excellent physique as Mr. Tang, it's fine to wait a little longer."

Mr. Yang was a little excited; being in his early twenties was really not too late.

Their patriarch of Yang-style Tai Chi, Yang Luchan, started practicing Tai Chi at the age of 20.

Although he knew that this was Beverly Hills and that the villa in front of him was probably worth tens of millions of dollars.

But what if?

This wealthy compatriot in front of me, despite being surrounded by several beautiful women, has not indulged in excessive sexual activity.

This indicates that he is a person with a long-term vision and the ability to be patient.

Maybe they'd be willing to learn.

He pointed to the Hunyuan stance and said, "Tai Chi emphasizes the balance of Yin and Yang. Practicing it well strengthens muscles and bones and prolongs life..."

Unfortunately, this argument failed to sway Tang Wen.

There's plenty of time ahead, so Master Yang isn't in a hurry and is giving his instructions very seriously.

Tang Wen devoted himself to his studies, relying on his photographic memory and extraordinary imitation ability derived from the 90-point spirit.

An hour passed.

I have learned the three stances of Tai Chi.

The system skills panel clearly indicates:

Tai Chi Stance Exercises (Beginner Level)

He didn't hesitate to spend 1 experience points.

Tai Chi Stance Exercises (Beginner to Elementary Level)

Tang Wen didn't feel anything different, but he didn't add any more.

He asked to see how it was practiced.

Master Yang readily agreed.

Standing meditation is a slow and gradual process; you won't see much progress in a short time.

To keep Tang Wen interested, he performed a graceful and elegant 108-form Tai Chi.

The movements were as smooth and fluid as flowing water, a truly delightful sight.

Seeing the appreciation in Tang Wen's eyes, Master Yang was secretly pleased and encouraged him, "If Mr. Tang works hard, he will be able to reach this level in just a few months."

That's obviously an exaggeration; an average person might not be able to achieve that kind of result even after years of practice.

However, he believed in Tang Wen's talent.

"Hmm, my memory is pretty good. Master Yang, take a look, I'll imitate it."

Tang Wen didn't practice Tai Chi very fast, but he forced himself to memorize the movements.

Upon hearing this, Master Yang's lips twitched and his brows furrowed slightly.

Too ambitious?

Or did he study it before?
After one round of practice, Tang Wen only had the form, but his movements were not up to par.

Especially in terms of details, it's lacking quite a bit.

Master Yang's eyes flickered slightly: "Mr. Tang has practiced before?"

He absolutely did not believe that Tang Wen could achieve such an effect after only reading it once.

To be honest, this is a level that most people would need to study for several months to reach.

Tang Wen smiled but didn't explain.

Master Yang took it as a tacit agreement.

Since you've already practiced, you can continue practicing.

He began to instruct on how to practice the 108-style exercises, and how to control the details...

Another hour passed in the blink of an eye.

In late spring and early summer, the sun rises high and the temperature begins to rise.

Master Yang's forehead was covered in sweat.

On the other side, Tang Wen, who had already fought several major battles, was still full of energy and spirit.

He couldn't help but sigh again, saying that Mr. Tang was a promising talent for martial arts.

I typed it out again.

The system sent a message:

Tai Chi (Beginner's Guide)

The previous entry for "Elementary Stance Training" has disappeared and been merged into the new entry for "Tai Chi".

After a short rest.

Tang Wen also learned the middle frame of Tai Chi and the fast-paced small frame of Tai Chi...

Before we knew it, it was noon.

After memorizing all the basic routines, you've truly mastered the basics of Tai Chi.

Tai Chi (Beginner Level)

"Master Yang, let's have dinner together."

"Thank you very much for your hospitality, Mr. Tang." Master Yang was getting on in years and had been carefully observing and giving instructions all morning; he was indeed tired.

It even felt like I was being hollowed out.

There were several medicinal dishes for lunch.

Master Yang was delighted and said, "I also know some traditional Chinese medicine. If you don't mind, I can take everyone's pulse after we finish eating."

Tang Wen, of course, would not refuse.

Eat and drink enough.

Have some tea and take a short rest.

Master Yang took the pulses of Lin Zhiling and the others.

After taking their pulses, he looked at the three women before him and was shocked.

All three had the same symptoms: kidney deficiency.

It goes without saying who caused it; there's only one man in such a big villa.

He picked up his pen and wrote down a prescription for a tonic.

Master Yang rallied his spirits and turned his gaze to Tang Wen: "President Tang?"

Tang Wen sat down in front of him and stretched out his arm.

Master Yang gently placed three fingers on the pulse, his expression changing slightly: the pulse was strong and powerful, even stronger than that of the black boxer who had come for treatment before.

Press hard, and it will cause a spring to gush out from under the stone.

In layman's terms, it means that even when you press down on the muscles and bones, you can still feel a continuous pulsating force.

Moreover, the pulse was not rapid.

As ancient medical books say: calm and gentle, with a rhythm like a bell...

Tang Wen not only had abundant kidney essence, but all his other organs were also incredibly strong.

The pulse diagnosis is complete.

Master Yang hesitated for a while before asking somewhat embarrassedly, "Mr. Tang, how do you usually take care of yourself?"

He's getting older and feels he needs to learn about health preservation.

We saw Master Yang off.

In the afternoon, a Shaolin Kung Fu master and a Jeet Kune Do instructor arrived.

I spent an afternoon learning from the two of them.

That evening, Tang Wen couldn't resist adding more food to his diet.

The tens of thousands of experience points have been used up.

Tai Chi (Beginner to Advanced)

After digesting the information for a while, I surged all the way to the [Master] level.

Jeet Kune Do (Master)

Shaolin Staff Techniques (Master)

[Shaolin Hung Kuen (Master)]

The next day, Master Yang, carrying two large guns, boarded the business vehicle sent by Tang Wen.

However, he is not alone today.

He brought along a young and beautiful mixed-race female apprentice.

Her father is Chinese, and her mother is of Mexican and white descent.

Now in her early twenties, she has inherited the delicate features and smooth skin typical of Chinese people, while her figure has undergone dramatic changes, a trait inherited from her mother.

She was the most beautiful girl in their martial arts school.

When he brandished his big gun, he was dashing and heroic, captivating countless naive young men.

The car arrived at the villa's entrance, where Tang Wen was practicing boxing in the morning sun.

Master Yang smiled, feeling very satisfied.

As the footsteps drew closer, Master Yang watched Tang Wen's every move, but his pace slowed down, until he finally stopped twenty steps away, his eyes fixed on Tang Wen, lost in thought.

Tang Wenxing performed the Tai Chi form with fluid grace, his movements graceful and smooth, like a dancing sprite in the sunlight.

A group of inexperienced servants were watching the spectacle.

Master Yang, an expert, was utterly shocked.

"Master?" The girl wanted to ask if they should continue forward. She could tell that Tang Wen was very handsome, but she couldn't see his face clearly in the sunlight.

"Do not talk."

"Ok?"

"I think I saw my advisor!"
