America: A Prodigy of Stereotypes

"Is this Kingpin? He looks like Tru..."

Chapter 36 Goro Miyagi

"Mr. Wilson, between Miyagi and Andre, which player do you favor more?"

"Oh, the answer is obvious, just look at my outfit, haha!!"

In public, prominent businessman Wilson Fisker appears very approachable.

Wilson Fisker appeared in a black traditional kimono, which is why Li Qun subconsciously felt that Tru from "Jackie Chan Adventures" resembled him.

"Goro Miyagi".

The host held the microphone to the mouth of the karate prodigy, Miyagi.

It was only then that Li Qun learned that the full name of the karate master was Miyagi Goro.

Are you confident you can win the Queens street fighting championship?

"Of course!"

"Is there anything you want to say to your opponent, Andrei?"

It's time for the pre-match trash talk.

"I heard you're a fighting prodigy? Unfortunately, being a prodigy is just a basic requirement for meeting me," Miyagi shouted at Andrei.

"Wow!! Andrei's expression is starting to show anger!"

"Andrei, is there anything you'd like to say to Miyagi?"

"After I win, I'll bow and apologize to you, like this, Red Bean Paste Secret Marseille!!"

Andrei's response immediately made the audience burst into laughter.

"The final match time has been extended from 3 minutes to 10 minutes, giving both players ample time to showcase their abilities. All other rules remain unchanged..."

The host began reading out the competition rules.

Wilson Fisk, leaning on his cane, stood on the outermost edge of the crowd with his two bodyguards. His height allowed him to easily see everything happening on the field.

"start!!"

The scene quickly quieted down as everyone focused on the final battle of the Queens Street Fighting Tournament.

"what!"

"what!!"

"!!"

Goro Miyagi kept making strange noises at his opponent, Andrei, trying to suppress him with his aura.

Shouting loudly during a fight can indeed distract the opponent and disrupt their attack strategy.

Miyagi Goro transformed into a black shadow and quickly moved in front of Andrei. Andrei was prepared and used a simple and sharp straight punch to test Miyagi Goro.

Goro Miyagi suddenly retreated, causing Andrei's straight punch to miss. Miyagi seized the opening and delivered a powerful chop to Andrei's ribs.

Goro Miyagi took the first point.

Andrei winced in pain, lowered his center of gravity, and rammed his shoulder into Goro Miyagi.

Miyagi dodged quickly, but Andrei raised his arm and changed his shoulder strike into an elbow strike, successfully landing the elbow on Miyagi.

Miyagi wasn't very tall; Andrei was a head taller than him, and his limbs were longer. In terms of size and attack range, Andrei had the advantage.

Seeing Miyagi retreat, Andrei also moved closer, determined to crush Miyagi's resolve in one fell swoop.

Suddenly, Miyagi Goro disappeared from Andrei's sight, and Andrei quickly looked down at the crouching Miyagi.

With his hands on the ground, Miyagi launched a fierce attack on Andrei's legs like a venomous snake, knocking Andrei to the ground.

Andrei was still able to fight, and Miyagi immediately pounced on him, elbowing him in the chin.

Miyagi wanted to incapacitate his opponent, Andrei, with a single blow.

The referee quickly stepped forward and pulled Miyagi off Andrei, as the rules of the match prohibit two people from grappling on the ground.

Miyagi Goro smiled, and Andrei's lip was broken by Miyagi, with blood trickling from the corner.

The referee waved his hand again, and Andrei launched an attack on Goro Miyagi.

Andrei lowered his center of gravity, his back and limbs slightly curled up, looking like he was in both a defensive and offensive stance.

"Is this the Turtle Fist?"

Goro Miyagi challenged Andrei.

Goro's fighting style changed, and Liqun's expression instantly turned serious.

Goro Miyagi's Miyagi-ryu karate definitely incorporates a lot of Chinese martial arts, even the Snake Fist.

In his spare time, his father would demonstrate the five forms of boxing—Tiger, Crane, Snake, Leopard, and Dragon—to Liqun.

Snake-style boxing emphasizes flexibility and rapid attacks.

At this moment, Li Qun was using the mental training method, turning the current Miyagi into his imaginary enemy.

Miyagi used the Snake Style Karate, while he countered with his father's Leopard Style Fist.

Leopard Fist is an attack method that combines speed and power, using brute force to overcome skill.

Andrei was defeated.

He was defeated by time.

Ten minutes later, Goro Miyagi continued to land effective blows on him, earning a higher score and winning the Queens Street Fighting Championship.

Wilson Fiske personally presented the award to Goro Miyagi.

Miyagi, holding the trophy in one hand and a check in a framed photo in the other, smiled as he posed for a picture with Wilson Fisker.

Wilson Fisk put his arm around Miyagi's shoulder; Miyagi's height only reached Wilson's chest.

"It was a truly wonderful match. In addition to the trophy, prize money, and the final spot for next year's defending champion, I have also prepared a special reward for Goro Miyagi."

“That means having dinner with me,” Wilson Fisk said with a smile.

"What a surprise!"

"An unexpected surprise!"

"This dinner is more valuable than the prize money check for the championship!!"

Wilson patted Miyagi lightly on the shoulder, then turned and left with his bodyguards. Wilson Fisk's secretary spoke quietly with Miyagi's teacher, Daniel, in a corner, and Daniel nodded.

Li Qun watched silently from the audience until Goro Miyagi walked towards him.

"Are you ready for tomorrow? Our sparring match won't be like the playful fight we had just had." Miyagi said with a smile, but his tone was very serious.

"You understand Qi, right?" Li Qun asked Gong Cheng directly.

"It seems I didn't choose the wrong opponent," Miyagi said happily.

"I'll remind you of something, but it's not related to our sparring session tomorrow."

“You need to be careful of this Mr. Fisk,” Li Qun warned Miyagi.

"I know without you reminding me, and my teacher knows too."

"He invited me and my teacher to dinner; it couldn't possibly be just a simple dinner invitation."

“I can tell that Mr. Fisk appreciates our Miyagi-ryu karate.”

"You shouldn't be envious either."

"..."

After a brief exchange, Miyagi left.

Surrounded by staff from the Fisker Tower, he left the rooftop sky garden and went to have dinner with his teacher, Daniel, at the Fisker Tower's high-rise restaurant.

"Are you his friend?"

Li Qun turned around and saw the defeated Andrei.

“No, it’s just that I have a fight with him,” Li Qun replied to Andrei.

Andrei's entire face was contorted in pain as he tried to endure it.

After the match, he felt the area where Miyagi had hit him was hurting more and more.

Li Qun gathered his "qi" in his palm and patted Andrei's shoulder.

Chapter 37 The Statue of Liberty in the New World

What did you do to me?

"A touch of traditional Chinese massage techniques."

Before Li Qun's hand landed on Andrei's shoulder, he still felt like he couldn't breathe.

After Li Qun's hand landed, he clearly felt the pressure on his breathing leave his body along with the rhythm of his breathing.

"What is this?" Andrei asked seriously.

"It's qi (vital energy)."

"Anger?" Andrei had never heard of this word before in his life.

"It's everyone's life energy. The reason you felt unwell and had pain all over your body just now is because the palace's energy invaded your body, suppressing your own energy and making your breathing difficult."

Andrei nodded to Li Qun, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"It will make you feel unwell for a period of time, up to several months. And if you force your body to do something during this period, it can even have lifelong effects on you."

"What should I do? You have a solution, right?" Andrei panicked.

The palace's energy invaded his body, and Li Qun used Chinese massage to regulate his body's energy. It was all a mysterious concept to him; he interpreted it as encountering a curse similar to that of the Black Voodoo religion.

"When you have time, go to this address in Chinatown. It's a Chinese massage parlor, and the masseuses there will take care of your problems."

"In what way?" Andrei asked cautiously.
