I practiced my spirituality alone in Hong Kong.

"All aboard, ready—power on!"

At Director Yuan's command, the lighting technicians and cameramen on set quickly adjusted their equipment and began filming.

After having their makeup done, Huang Zhengli and Chen Yuanlong entered the set.

Before the official action scenes began today

Director Yuan is now filming a dialogue scene between the two, the gist of which is that the leader of the Eagle Claw Sect pretends to be Bai Changtian's fellow disciple to gain Jian Fu's trust.

Huang Zhengli doesn't speak Hong Kong dialect, so of course he couldn't actually rehearse his lines with Chen Yuanlong during filming.

However, someone will be dubbing his voice later, so he only needs to manage his facial expressions and casually lip-sync to some English or Korean.

Such simple camera control is nothing to Huang Zhengli, who has been famous in the industry for a long time.

Chen Yuanlong was the same; although he was young, he usually seemed a bit unreliable.

However, he entered a drama academy at the age of 6 and studied Peking Opera with a theater for 10 years. After that, he worked in the martial arts industry for many years and acted with many big names, including Bruce Lee.

Therefore, his acting skills are absolutely reliable, and he even has a lot of talent and distinctiveness, which is why Director Yuan chose him to play the male lead, Jian Fu, who has a pure heart.

The two filmed this dialogue scene smoothly without any pauses, completing it in one take.

Director Yuan was very satisfied and let the two rest for a while before filming the day's main action scene.

Li Chang'an was wearing the same short vest as Chen Yuanlong at this time.

If Brother Chen is injured during his fight with Master Huang and can no longer continue, then he will appear as a stunt double to take over the role with Master Huang.

However, Chen Yuanlong patted his chest and assured him on this point:

Don't worry, Anzai.

Although Master Huang's aura is indeed strong, I only truly understood what pressure meant when I stood in front of him.

But I've been practicing snake-style boxing with you for over half a month, Anzai, you must know my current level, right? I will definitely do my best to complete the scenes with Master Wong on my own!

Chen Yuanlong flashed a bright white smile, turned around and gave Li Chang'an a thumbs-up, then strode forward and stood opposite Huang Zhengli.

"Alright, everyone in position and ready—power on!"

At Director Yuan's command, Hwang Jang-lee instantly got into character.

He flicked his peach-colored, tight-fitting Chinese-style long robe, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

"Oh? You don't believe I'm your master's fellow disciple? Come on, let's test it out."

Under Huang Zhengli's gaze, Chen Yuanlong composed himself, adopted Jian Fu's fearless attitude, and smiled provocatively.

"Let's give it a try!"

After speaking, Chen Yuanlong adopted the starting stance of the Snake Fist, his hands swaying back and forth like a snake testing its prey before attacking, probing Huang Zhengli's movements.

Then, he suddenly thrust out with his snake-like hand, aiming straight for Huang Zhengli's face.

Huang Zhengli remained calm and easily dodged several attacks before grabbing Chen Yuanlong's joint with a claw.

Even though it was just filming and no one was using their real strength, Chen Yuanlong still felt a sharp pain in his heart, marveling at how strong Master Huang's hands were.

I wonder who's more powerful between them, Anzai, who can kill a fierce dog with a single swipe of his paw...

Without time to think, Chen Yuanlong broke free from the eagle claw grasp and once again met the attack with a snake hand thrust.

Li Chang'an stood on the outside, observing the fight between the two.

Brother Chen's footwork was fluid and his body relaxed and grounded. His set of twisting, winding, and sticky kung fu moves were quite impressive.

However, Master Huang's five fingers clenched into sharp claws, and his shoulders and back opened and closed like the flapping of an eagle's wings, unleashing a burst of powerful force. He seized Chen's collarbone with each move, firmly suppressing his body.

Even though Chen Yuanlong used his cleverness each time, pretending to surrender and then launching a surprise attack, he could never escape the fate of having his bones and tendons locked in the eagle's claws again.

Li Chang'an seemed to see a snake fighting an eagle.

In other words, the eagle has a playful attitude and keeps teasing the snake with its talons. But if the eagle gets serious, it can lock the snake's vital spot in an instant and skin it alive.

Now, Li Chang'an's Snake Fist has reached 85 experience points, and he is only one step away from breaking through to the next level.

But no matter how deeply he immersed himself in the flow state and practiced breaking down techniques, the remaining fifteen experience points did not increase much.

This also made Li Chang'an realize that this final breakthrough might not be a matter of skill and proficiency.

Perhaps an opportunity or a moment of guidance is needed.

Could this scene before him serve as guidance for him?

In the arena, Chen Yuanlong crouched down and then used his hands to strike Master Huang's lower body in a fang-like motion.

"Watch me search for the snake by parting the grass!"

Huang Zhengli easily grabbed his hand and used his claws to restrain his arm joints, causing his entire arm to go numb and ache.

"This snake will be hard to find."

Huang Zhengli sneered, and with a powerful punch, sent Chen Yuanlong flying. Finally, he slammed him to the ground with a back throw.

Even with the grass mats on the ground cushioning the fall, Chen Yuanlong still felt as if his body was about to fall apart.

He grimaced as he got up, enduring the pain to continue rehearsing.

"Uncle-Master, how come you manage to control me with every move?"

"Of course, otherwise how could I become your senior uncle?"

"Your fighting style is different from your martial uncle's."

"Oh~ that's because your master hasn't taught you yet."

Chen Yuanlong, clutching his aching back, flashed a comical smile at the camera: "Could you teach me?"

"You'll have to ask your master first. Where is your master...?"

……

……

This action scene was filmed about three times. Director Yuan made several corrections, and Li Chang'an also gave some suggestions on how to fight between Snake Fist and Eagle Claw Kung Fu.

Chen Yuanlong was also thrown to the ground several times.

The action scene wasn't finished until Director Yuan was satisfied.

However, Chen Yuanlong didn't have time to rest, because the next scene required him to maintain his current defeated and sore state.

So he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water before dragging his back and struggling to walk to the next set.

Chen Yuanlong sat on the stool, wincing in pain, and just as Director Yuan had said, he instantly got into character.

He took a weak breath, reflecting on his recent defeat at the hands of Hwang Jang-lee.

"There's no reason for that. Could it be that my martial uncle is more powerful than my master?"

Just as he was deep in thought, he suddenly discovered that the Snake Fist manual his master had left him had been torn to shreds by the stray cats he often fed!

Chen Yuanlong was immediately enraged and was about to settle accounts with that wicked cat.

Then you see the big orange cat huddled in the corner, its fur standing on end, its back arched high, and it hissing softly forward.

Li Chang'an, who was standing outside the set, also narrowed his eyes at this moment.

Because in front of the cat, a cobra appeared, its ferocious triangular head raised high, hissing.

This snake, whose fangs had been removed, was the same prop snake he had noticed in the cage that morning.

Although its fangs have been removed, the cobra retains its wild nature.

Seeing the big orange cat hissing in front of it, it suddenly lunged forward and launched an attack.

Startled, the orange cat immediately jumped up, and the cat and the snake began to fight.

When Li Chang'an saw the scene of the cat and snake fighting, and then Brother Chen's subconscious performance of reviewing the fight with the cat's paw, he instantly understood the purpose of Director Yuan's arrangement of this scene.

Whether it's Xingyiquan or Xiangxingquan,

Their martial arts techniques all come from animals in nature.

This is what is meant by observing its form to grasp its meaning.

Throughout history, countless martial arts masters have drawn inspiration from animals and established their own schools of martial arts.

For example, Guiguzi, during the Warring States period, observed the long arms of the Tongbei ape while living in seclusion in Yunmeng Mountain. The ape's arms were long, flexible, and elastic, allowing it to strike far and wide. Guiguzi then created Tongbeiquan (a style of Chinese martial arts).

During the Jiaqing era, Yan Yongchun was inspired by a white crane and a green snake fighting on a mountain. He was also inspired by the complementary nature of the snake and crane's fighting, and the interplay of speed and slowness. He then created the Yongchun style.

Clearly, Director Yuan wanted to emulate the legend of Yim Wing-chun.

Let Jianfu observe the fight between the cat and the snake, innovate the Snake Style Fist, and find an opportunity to defeat the Eagle Claw Fist!
