Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 332 The wind rises, and people's hearts are moved
Some domestic public opinion complained that Lin Yuan did not hold a competition using traditional Chinese weapons and questioned why he did not return to China to hold a competition.

This is also a secret that cannot be told.

Liu Yufei was well aware of Lin Yuan's predicament, as Lin Yuan had complained to her many times before.

From official to non-governmental organizations, there are many difficulties and resistance.

The overall attitude towards fighting events in China at this time is relatively conservative.

This has been going on since the founding of the country.

After all, fighting events are easily associated with violence. Excessive publicity and encouragement may create a bad atmosphere, especially in a period when the unemployment rate is high and a large number of unemployed young people are wandering the streets.

Therefore, even with Lin Yuan's current reputation, it would be quite difficult to obtain approval in the country and hold a fighting event.

The authorities have their concerns, and non-governmental organizations represented by the martial arts masters' sects are probably even less welcoming of such events.

If there were no fighting events, they could still hide in the audience, continue to talk about feelings and stories, and reap the money of those fans.

If a real competition comes up, they must go on stage to compete and prove their strength no matter what, otherwise it will be difficult to continue fooling their apprentices.

But can China’s traditional martial arts community compete?

It’s hard to say arbitrarily that there is no one who can fight, but it is true that no one has ever proven themselves in actual combat.

Even in the face of overwhelming public doubts, no one stood up to defend the honor of traditional martial arts with an actual fight.

in the country, neither official nor non-governmental organizations support events such as Kendo Competitions.

Therefore, Lin Yuan had to start in Japan and wait until he demonstrated his huge commercial value through this competition.

Many people in China will be tempted.

With such high attention, how many eyeballs can it attract?

How many people's expectations can be met by holding the martial arts competition at the Shaolin Temple in Wudang Mountain? And how much tourism business opportunities can it generate?
When the global reputation is high and the profits are enviable, Lin Yuan will bring the event back to China.

Liu Yufei believes that by then domestic officials will carefully reconsider the pros and cons of the event, and there will be no need to worry too much about possible obstruction from non-governmental organizations.

With the holding of the Kendo competition, many people began to practice the sword techniques created by Lin Yuan, and his influence in the martial arts field skyrocketed.

Liu Yufei was wondering if Lin Yuan had surpassed Bruce Lee and become a true kung fu superstar?
It’s hard to say, but even if there is still controversy now, there is no doubt that the gap between the two will widen in another year or two.

……

……

Zhongyuan Province, Heluo City.

Zhang Long is sitting in front of the computer in the Internet cafe.

He is 28 years old and as a former champion of the national fencing competition, he has not had a good life in recent years.

He has a wall of medals at home, but he doesn't make much money.

Now he is at an age where he should have gotten married, but his income is unstable, he cannot afford to buy a house, and he has had enough of the discrimination in the marriage market.

His parents urge him to get married all the time, but doesn’t he want to get married?

Frustration tormented this once extremely proud man.

"I can afford the plane ticket. I'm going to Japan to win glory for my country! What do you think? If I win the championship, will my goddess fall in love with me?"

"Don't look down on me! I used to be the national champion in sword fighting!"

"I learned the practical kendo moves that Lin Yuan published for free. After training like this for a few months, I believe I can get a good ranking!" When he left the above comment under Lin Yuan's news, Zhang Long really saw hope.

Even if he can't win the $500 million for the championship, the $ for the top ten is the key to changing his destiny.

Therefore, Zhang Long resolutely decided to participate!
In fact, he couldn't afford the plane ticket, but even if he had to borrow money, he would go to Japan to participate in the "Second World Kendo Tournament" next year.

Now that you have made up your mind, the next step is to improve your practical ability to ensure that you can get a good ranking.

Zhang Long knew that the sword techniques he practiced were for show and would be vulnerable in actual combat.

However, the more than ten years of hard training he had undergone in Shaolin Temple since childhood may not have given him much practical combat ability, but at least his physical fitness and reaction speed were far beyond that of ordinary people.

As long as he can learn the sword moves that Lin Yuan shared for free, he is confident that he will achieve good results.

Two days ago, he tried to learn three basic sword moves. Although it was a bit difficult, fortunately, his foundation and understanding were good, and now he has basically mastered it.

If he continues at this pace, he will soon undergo a complete transformation.

There is still more than half a year before the competition starts, which is enough time for him to fully hone his skills.

But skills alone are not enough. Zhang Long is well aware that he is participating in a real combat competition, so he also needs a lot of combat experience.

Fortunately, he is a martial artist and currently works at a martial arts training gym where he has many colleagues and friends who can serve as sparring partners for him.

Although the results may not be as good as those of professionals with better conditions, Zhang Long is already very satisfied.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing, it’s time to sign up!
He opened the webpage and logged into the registration website for the "Second World Kendo Tournament".

At first, he was worried that he might not be able to understand Japanese and would not be able to complete the registration process.

But he soon felt relieved because there were multiple language versions to choose from, including Chinese.

Zhang Long excitedly began to register his personal information.

After a moment, he filled in the information and clicked the confirm submit button.

At this moment, a warning box suddenly popped up on the page:

(This is not an FBI warning, don’t think about it in a wrong way)
Hello, dear contestants.

The 'Second World Kendo Tournament' you are currently signing up for is a combat-based martial arts tournament.

Even though we provide the most professional combat weapons and protective gear, swords are blind after all, and there are still certain safety risks.

If you insist on participating in the competition, it will be deemed that you have waived your right to seek compensation in the event of future injury.

As the organizer of the event, we will purchase a competition accident insurance worth US$20 for you. This is our greatest kindness and the only protection you can get.

Please consider carefully whether you want to sign up for the competition.

Seeing this prompt, Zhang Long was stunned for a moment.

Then he smiled and said, "It seems there's still a lot of danger. But that's normal. Even in a bare-handed fight, injuries are inevitable, let alone a weapon duel. Even with protective gear, there's no guarantee of complete safety."

"But my life has failed so badly, what should I do if I don't give it a try?"

"If something does go wrong, there's $20 in insurance compensation. I'll never earn that much in my lifetime!"

"Then what are you afraid of? Let's bet!"

Zhang Long solemnly clicked the confirm button.
