Gao Wuming: From Dockworker to Physical Achievement

"I'm not shameless enough to go back on my word."

Hong Zheng said.

They already took a shortcut; if they go back on their word now, they'll truly lose all face.

He looked at Chen Yi, took a deep breath, and spat out a single word through gritted teeth: "Master."

"Master Hong, you don't need to be so polite."

Chen Yi smiled broadly.

Hearing that "Master" was incredibly comforting.

Although many people called him "Grandpa," and the dockworkers called him that every day, the merchants who wanted to curry favor with him also rushed to call him that.

But that's become so commonplace that it's lost its meaning.

That's exactly what Hung Cheng is like; it's only satisfying when people who initially disliked him shout at him.

"Do you two really not want to test your skills with me? No bets required."

After enjoying himself, Chen Yi looked at Liu Hong and Master Wuxin.

It's not that he likes fighting and killing.

Instead, after he finished fighting with Hong Zheng, words appeared before his eyes.

[A dirty martial arts instructor is training you; you have gained +1 Resistance and +1 Punching Power.]

This attribute reward can only be obtained after mastering a martial art to perfection.

Although his cultivation speed was increased to 5, it still took him a whole day to master a martial arts manual.

Now, by fighting Hong Zheng, I have directly gained two attribute points.

This made him unable to resist wanting to practice with Liu Hong and Master Wuxin.

My hands are very hot and my skin is very itchy.

Please fight.

"No, no." The two shook their heads repeatedly.

They all thought to themselves, "He's a real martial arts fanatic."

When Chen Yi turned around and asked them if they wanted to practice, it could be understood that he misunderstood that they wanted to come up and help Hong Zheng.

But now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, Hong Zheng has also called him "Grandpa".

Chen Yi was still thinking about making a move.

The two then realized that he hadn't misunderstood at all; he was a violent maniac who really wanted to fight a second half.

"That's such a pity," Chen Yi sighed.

His tone was full of disappointment.

The two men's eyes twitched upon hearing this.

What exactly is it that we regret?

"We've already fought, Master Chen, you should be happy now. Let's talk business," Liu Hong said, changing the subject.

Hearing that they were talking about something, Chen Yi also became serious and said, "The masters called me here, so it must be something special. But is there any water? I'd like to wash up first."

His face was still covered in blood.

"Yes, yes, quickly fetch Master Chen a basin of water and a change of clothes." Liu Hong slapped his forehead and shouted to the back.

Immediately, a disciple ran over carrying a basin and a towel.

Chen Yi washed his face and felt much refreshed.

The small wounds on her face had all healed in just a short while, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

If it weren't for the fact that his clothes were now tattered and hanging there, you would never have guessed that he had just been in a brutal fight.

Compared to Hong Zheng, whose face was covered in small cuts after being cleaned up, it was like night and day.

"Master Chen, you..." Liu Hong also noticed the situation.

"I have a special constitution, and my injuries heal very quickly," Chen Yi said.

He had no intention of hiding something that was so obvious.

"This physique is really something." Liu Hong thought for a long time but couldn't think of any relevant records.

The only explanation is that he truly is a martial arts genius born of his time.

He is different from ordinary people in every way.

I cleaned the dirt off my face and changed my clothes.

Led by Liu Hong, the three arrived at a secluded room in the Xingyi Martial Arts School.

Hot tea was laid out on the table, clearly prepared in advance.

Chen Yi sat down at the table, curious about what could be so important that the heads of the three martial arts schools would discuss it together.

After everyone sat down, Liu Hong said, "Master Chen, do you know the martial arts realm after you've practiced 'dirtying'?"

Chen Yi nodded: "I know a little. After practicing the Dirty Qi, you get the罡气 (罡气 is a type of internal energy), and the next step is the景境 (景境 is a type of internal energy). After that, the training methods I learned are not recorded."

"That's natural, because the highest realm is the scenery."

Liu Hong said, "Master Chen, do you know the specific divisions of these realms?"

Chen Yi shook his head: "I don't know much."

His training methods were not passed down from any prestigious lineage.

Training methods that can be bought on the market and handed over to the martial arts association are certainly not important inheritances.

The only legitimate training method I obtained was the Returning Mountain Fist method, but the only person who could truly master the Returning Mountain Fist was Tian Xiong, who had reached the Bone Forging Realm.

The training method itself wasn't anything particularly good.

Being able to know the subsequent realms is already quite good.

When he fought with Liu Hong before, he didn't know why Liu Hong was able to overpower him.

It wasn't until I developed my "instinctive perception" that I suddenly realized the truth.

"Then I'll talk to Master Chen first, so we can discuss the rest," Liu Hong said.

He began to introduce the later levels of martial arts.

The Qi Refining Realm is a realm where martial artists can project their power several meters outward, killing from a distance.

His body is surrounded by a protective aura that can withstand bullets and is difficult to harm by firearms.

A martial artist at this level is truly capable of withstanding a hail of bullets and killing people.

In comparison, although those at the Dirty Refinement Realm can react to bullets through instinctive perception, they still need to run away when faced with a large number of guns, making them vastly different from those at the罡气 Realm.

When facing guns, the Qi Refining Realm can be considered a watershed level.

Above the Qi Refining Realm lies the Realm of Insight, which is the final realm of martial arts, or rather, the current end point of martial arts.

The scenery is divided into external scenery and internal scenery. There is no distinction between them, but rather they represent two paths in martial arts.

Outdoor shooting focuses on the body, aiming to train every muscle in the body to the extreme, and once completed, it is the ultimate state.

In the inner realm, focus your mind and spirit. Human strength is finite, but the mind is infinite. Use your mind and spirit to fight the enemy, and once you complete it, you will become a master.

Master Huo has now reached the Inner Realm, having cultivated to the point where he can fight enemies with his mind and spirit.

"Fighting an enemy with your mind, what kind of state is that? Could it be that you can directly control the opponent?" Chen Yi asked in confusion.

"Controlling the other party? How could such a thing happen? However, I can't explain the realm of a Grandmaster, but there is a chance for you to see for yourself," Liu Hong said.

Chen Yi perked up: "What do you think?"

When he first started practicing martial arts, he saw in the newspaper that Master Huo had intervened to negotiate with the foreign fleet.

He became curious about the Grandmaster at that time because he managed to get the fleet to negotiate a peace agreement with him.

What kind of force could possibly achieve such an effect?

I thought that I would only be qualified to witness the power of a grandmaster when his martial arts skills reached a certain level.

I never expected to have this opportunity now.

"In fact, Master Huo is currently in the Tianjin Concession and has been challenged by the president of the International Fighting Association. The time is set for six months from now."

Only martial artists at the Dirty Refining Realm are qualified to know this news. Once the news spreads, it is likely that powerful martial artists from all over the world will rush to Tianhai to watch the battle.

And it's not just martial arts masters; fighting experts from foreign countries will also flock to the Tianhai Concession.

Within a month at the earliest, martial arts masters and combat experts will arrive in Tianhai. The number will continue to increase over the next six months, and various frictions, competitions, and arena battles will inevitably occur.

It could be said that the past six months had been a grand martial arts event, which only ended when Grandmaster Huo and the president of the Fighting Association took action.

Liu Hong said.
