I practiced my spirituality alone in Hong Kong.

After a brief separation from Wen Zhilan, Li Chang'an always kept Master Huang in his heart.

As someone with a special identity mentioned by the narrator, he must have something special about him, and he is likely to trigger plot developments.

So Li Chang'an went to Chen Yuanlong to ask him about it.

"Anzai, you should ask Master Wong. He's the top of the four great leg kings in Hong Kong and a master of leg techniques!"

It is said that he started practicing Taekwondo at the age of 14 and obtained the 7th Dan black belt in seven years, a feat that would normally take twenty years for an ordinary person to achieve!

He's played many popular villains in recent years. Director Yuan really went all out for this film, even bringing in a big star like Master Huang!

As Chen Yuanlong spoke, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes. Then, he lowered his voice and whispered in Li Chang'an's ear:

"I also heard that Master Huang was a martial arts instructor for the South Korean army during the Vietnam War. He once kicked an enemy with a knife in the temple, killing him on the spot. He is a real big shot who has been on the battlefield and killed people!"

I heard that everyone who works with him is incredibly nervous; it feels like Master Huang exudes a murderous aura when filming!

Hearing Chen Yuanlong's words, Li Chang'an's curiosity grew even stronger.

In order to have the opportunity to meet Hwang Jang-lee as soon as possible, Li Chang'an began to gather a group of martial arts instructors from the Yuan family to teach him Snake Fist, intending to complete his mission as soon as possible.

After teaching for about two hours, Li Chang'an asked Brother Chen, who was the best at the training, to lead everyone in practice.

He made an excuse and quietly left, going around to the backyard of the film set.

Li Chang'an had previously heard Chen Yuanlong say that the small courtyards near film sets were usually places for big directors, celebrities, investors, and other big names to rest and practice their skills.

He walked quietly to the back gate of the yard and peeked out.

The courtyard was empty except for Huang Zhengli, who was wearing a black training uniform and looking down at the boxing manual, practicing the skills described therein.

Li Chang'an only observed two moves before determining that this was a different kind of kung fu from the Snake Fist, and it was most likely the Eagle Claw Kung Fu, the unique secret technique of the Eagle Claw Sect in the script.

Huang Zhengli straightened his ten fingers, then with a flick of his wrist, it was like an eagle spreading its wings, its claws slicing through the air with a dull, sharp sound.

With its claws swirling, it lunges forward like an eagle soaring through the sky, aiming straight for vital points; when it grabs horizontally, it's like tearing silk, as if it wants to crush the prey's sinews and bones.

His body leaped up like a bird spreading its wings, and when he landed heavily, his upper body spread out like wings, while his lower body remained as stable as a rock. His whole body exuded a fierce and domineering aura that made him unapproachable.

If the Snake Style Boxing follows a style of softness, skill, speed, and cunning...

The body movements and boxing techniques are like a startled snake in the grass, with the waist and hips driving the arms. It is soft yet powerful, specializing in exploiting gaps and winning by continuously coiling force and tricky penetration. It emphasizes using softness to overcome hardness and speed to defeat slowness.

Huang Zhengli's Eagle Claw Kung Fu is the complete opposite of Snake Style Kung Fu.

Powerful, fierce, tough, and domineering!

With a single swipe of its claw, without dodging or evading, it swoops down like a golden eagle, its sole purpose being to crush the bones of its prey!

Li Chang'an quietly watched Huang Zhengli practice boxing, while mentally trying to simulate fighting him using the Snake Fist style.

But the result was that... Snake Fist was completely suppressed by the Eagle Claw style, and couldn't fight at all.

No matter how agile a snake is, it will be firmly locked in place by an eagle's claws.

No matter how fast a snake's fingers are, if it encounters an eagle's claws, it will be directly grabbed and held.

With such restraint, Li Chang'an finally understood why the narrator said that the Eagle Claw Sect had almost wiped out the Snake Fist lineage.

I really don't know how Brother Chen will turn the tables in the movie and defeat the Eagle Claw Sect leader with his Snake Fist.

but……

If Brother Chen can really defeat Master Huang using Snake Style Fist, does that mean that there is still room for improvement in Snake Style Fist, and that I haven't learned everything yet?

Young man, you are hiding in the shadows, secretly learning Eagle Claw Kung Fu from the Eagle Claw Sect leader.

With your extraordinary wisdom in understanding martial arts, you have gained some understanding of Eagle Claw Kung Fu, but you are still far from successfully learning it from scratch.

Young man, the Eagle Claw Sect leader is ruthless; you must never let him discover you.

Learning by stealing someone's skills?

We're all colleagues on set, not mortal enemies in the underworld, so what's the point of stealing?

Ignoring the warnings from the narrator, Li Chang'an walked in confidently after Huang Zhengli finished his punch.

"Master Huang."

Hearing familiar Korean, Hwang Jung-ri looked at Lee Chang-an with some surprise. A hint of warmth flashed in his originally cold eyes as he replied in Korean:

"Anzai, do you speak Korean?"

"In my middle school class, there was a classmate who was Korean, and I learned a little from him."

Huang Zhengli nodded and said with emotion:

"Our Korean is indeed easy to learn. In comparison, your country's language is too profound and difficult to learn."

Because of their shared language, the initial awkwardness between them quickly faded away.

Li Chang'an then said, "Master Huang, I'm very interested in all kinds of kung fu. Would you mind demonstrating a set of Eagle Claw Fist for me?"

Koreans are known for their outgoing personalities and never hide their talents or show humility. Martial arts practitioners, in particular, are more proud than the average person.

Seeing that Li Chang'an wanted to see the boxing, Huang Zhengli laughed loudly:

"Anzai, I've already heard Director Yuen say that you studied under a kung fu master."

I saw you throw a punch when you arrived. Your kung fu stance was indeed incredibly refined, which is very rare among the younger generation. This shows the level of your teacher.

Although I am not a professional practitioner of imitative boxing, I have studied Eagle Claw Kung Fu quite extensively since I received the role in Director Yuan's film.

Besides, all martial arts have commonalities. I'll demonstrate a set for you so you can weigh in yourselves where I, a 7th-degree black belt in Taekwondo, fall short compared to the masters of your country's martial arts when it comes to studying traditional kung fu.

"..."

Li Chang'an never expected that his non-existent master would actually ignite Huang Zhengli's competitive spirit.

Director Yuan did manage to promote the product successfully this time.

Huang Zhengli walked to the center of the courtyard, his breath quickened, and his demeanor instantly became fierce, much more serious than when he was practicing.

He lowered his waist and sat on the horse, his shoulders slumped, his ten fingers like hooks, and his hands slowly spread apart to the left and right, like an eagle flapping its wings to pounce.

"The so-called Eagle Claw Kung Fu's starting stance is naturally like an eagle spreading its wings."

As he practiced his punches, he explained his understanding of the principles of boxing in Korean:

"Eagle Claw Kung Fu, also known as the 108-Style Eagle Claw Grappling Technique, is a style that focuses on grabbing, locking, hooking, and pinching the enemy's vital points.

Once it gets on you, it's like being caught in an eagle's claws; the enemy can't escape and will have to have a piece of flesh torn off before they can leave.

Based on these four core moves, I have evolved them into 108 ever-changing boxing techniques, mainly divided into throat lock, shoulder lock, wrist wrap, elbow break, bone pinch, tendon separation, etc.

As Huang Zhengli spoke, his fingers moved in countless ways, tearing through the air with a faint sound like an eagle soaring through the sky.

He finished a set of incredibly powerful Eagle Claw Fist.

Huang Zhengli then turned his body again, and his leg technique suddenly became fierce and high.

"I've practiced Taekwondo my whole life, so I've incorporated leg techniques into it."

With claws, one can block the enemy's upper body; with legs, one can attack the enemy's lower body. In close combat, one can seize and dislocate bones; at a distance, one can kick and kill without a trace!

Hwang Jang-lee truly deserves his title as a Taekwondo master. His understanding of kung fu is incredibly profound. His fists and claws are as fierce as iron, and his leg techniques are as fast as lightning.

After finishing a set of punches and kicks, Huang Zhengli calmed his breathing and looked at Li Chang'an.

"How's this set of boxing techniques, Anzai?"

"Master Huang's movements, whether still or in motion, seamlessly blend traditional imitative boxing with modern combat techniques. I admire him."

"Of course." Huang Zhengli laughed. "But Anzai, since I promised you and punched you in front of you, you have to promise me something in return."

"Please go ahead, Master Huang."

"After hearing Director Yuan's introduction, I have long admired your master."

After all, in this era of martial arts decline, those who can be revered as masters of kung fu are few and far between; it would be a real shame not to learn from them.

"But I also understand the rules of your Chinese martial arts world. If you directly challenge someone to a one-on-one fight, it would be tantamount to challenging their decades-long status and dignity in the martial arts world, which would inevitably lead to bloodshed. There is really no need for that."

"So, I'll use you as a medium to exchange martial arts skills with your master from afar."

Huang Zhengli waved to Li Chang'an.

"A month later, we practiced the moves of Eagle Claw Kung Fu together."

If you can surpass me in terms of technique and strategy, it means that the grandmaster has a higher level of understanding of the principles of boxing, and in that case, I will lose. Otherwise, your master will lose. What do you say?

Young man, the Eagle Claw Sect Master, driven by his competitive spirit, will impart the Eagle Claw Kung Fu to you and invite you to a future duel.

As the narration subsided, Li Chang'an, who had already absorbed the Eagle Claw Kung Fu into his mind, nodded.

"Master Huang, I accept on behalf of my master!"
