Chapter 51 The Apprenticeship Tests One's Chivalrous Heart
News of the Shahe Gang's failed arson attack and subsequent capture spread like wildfire through the streets of Foshan. A new overseas returnee, "Mr. Wang," with exceptional skills and a reputation for righteousness, joined Master Huang's troupe at Baozhilin. His pair of unique curved swords, renowned for their unparalleled sharpness, were shrouded in myth. Wang Huanbo's name quickly rose to prominence among the common people of Foshan and among martial arts enthusiasts.
After this incident, Wong Fei-hung was completely open with Wang Huanbo, regarding him not only as a brother he could entrust with his life, but also considering taking him on as a disciple to pass on his skills. However, he was always strict in accepting disciples, placing particular emphasis on their character and conduct, so he still needed to conduct a thorough examination.
That morning, after martial arts practice, Wong Fei-hung and Wang Huanbo were drinking tea in the courtyard. Sunlight filtered through the banyan leaves, creating dappled patterns. Wong Fei-hung pondered for a moment, then spoke: "Huanbo, you've been at Po Chi Lam for some time now. I've witnessed your skills, knowledge, and character, and I admire you greatly. The Hung Kuen school emphasizes 'chivalry as its foundation and helping the world as its purpose.' I wonder what your understanding of this 'chivalry' is?"
Wang Huanbo knew that Huang Feihong was testing his character. He put down his teacup, his expression solemn: "Master Huang, in my humble opinion, a true hero is not one who bullies the weak or is fond of fighting. On a smaller scale, a hero helps those in need when injustice is seen, and aids those in distress; on a larger scale, a hero is concerned with his country and people, unafraid of violence, and protects the nation and its people. A righteous person keeps their promises, distinguishes right from wrong, and knows what to do and what not to do. Now, the government is weak, foreigners are rampant, and the people are suffering. We martial artists are needed to uphold justice and protect the weak with our chivalrous spirit. Practicing martial arts is not only about strengthening the body, but more importantly, about cultivating a chivalrous heart that helps the weak and punishes the strong, and serves the country and its people."
His words, spoken in light of the political situation in the late Qing Dynasty, came from the bottom of his heart. They not only conformed to the traditional chivalrous view but also incorporated modern patriotism. Huang Feihong nodded frequently, his eyes filled with increasing admiration.
"Well said!" Wong Fei-hung clapped his hands. "The path of martial arts is endless. I see that you have a solid foundation and extremely high comprehension, but the essence of Hung Kuen lies in the cultivation of both internal and external strength, and the control of power, which cannot be achieved overnight. If you are interested, would you be willing to follow me to systematically study the profound mysteries of Hung Kuen and carry forward the mission of Po Chi Lam to help and save people?"
Wang Huanbo was thrilled, knowing the crucial moment had arrived. He immediately stood up, straightened his clothes, and prepared to kneel before Huang Feihong in a deep bow: "Master, please accept this bow from your disciple Wang Huanbo! I am willing to follow you in diligently studying martial arts and medicine, upholding the code of chivalry, and will never dare to betray our sect!"
Wong Fei-hung quickly reached out to support him, a pleased smile on his face: "Huanbo, please rise! When I, Wong Fei-hung, accept disciples, I don't value empty formalities, but rather sincerity. From this day forward, you are my disciple! I hope you will study diligently and practice hard, and never forget what I said today!" He turned to the disciples who had gathered around upon hearing the commotion and said, "Pork Wing, Leung Foon, Toothpick Su, come and greet your new junior brother!"
"Haha! Junior Brother Wang! We're family now!" Pork Rong laughed and patted Wang Huanbo's shoulder with great force.
"Junior Brother Wang, please give me your guidance!" Liang Kuan said with a smile, cupping his hands in greeting.
"Junior Brother Wang... welcome!" Toothpick Su pushed up his glasses and stammered to express his joy.
Even Aunt Thirteen (Joanna), who came out upon hearing the news, smiled and congratulated him: "Master Huang, congratulations on gaining another outstanding apprentice! Mr. Wang, oh no, now I should call you Junior Brother Wang, please take good care of me in the future!" She winked playfully.
The apprenticeship ceremony was simple yet solemn. Wang Huanbo officially became Huang Feihong's personal disciple and began systematically learning the advanced techniques of the Gongzi Fuhu Fist, the secrets of the Tiger-Crane Double Form Fist, and Huang Feihong's trump card—the power generation techniques and footwork of the Foshan Shadowless Kick. Wang Huanbo possessed a super serum foundation, giving him exceptional learning abilities. He grasped concepts instantly, applied them to new situations, and progressed at a speed that astonished Huang Feihong, who exclaimed that this young man was a martial arts prodigy.
Meanwhile, Wang Huanbo became more deeply involved in the daily operations of Baozhilin. He not only assisted Huang Feihong in treating difficult and complicated illnesses, but also subtly taught his disciples and patients basic hygiene concepts (such as the importance of frequent handwashing and wound disinfection). He explained the concept of "germs" in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Although some people did not understand at first, they gradually accepted it after seeing that it could indeed reduce infection. He also used modern medicinal materials in the system space (carefully taken out and falsely claimed to be rare overseas medicines) to save some critically ill patients at critical moments, further enhancing Baozhilin's reputation as a "miracle doctor".
