Hong Kong Comprehensive: Who said that those who practice martial arts have no money?

Chapter 244: A School of Its Own

"Have you got an idea?"

Sanjiangshui knew that Li An had always been troubled by the integration of his boxing skills and strength. Seeing Li An smiling face and obviously making some progress, he couldn't help but walk up to Li An and ask.

Li An nodded: "Yes, it is the footwork. Speaking of which, I have to thank Master Wang Tianlai for his words, otherwise if I continue to immerse myself in the footwork and turns of Baguazhang, I may have to take a lot of detours."

"Then let's give it a try?" Sanjiangshui recalled Li Ang's footwork when he practiced boxing, his eyes inquiring.

"Okay!"

Li An readily agreed, Sanjiangshui retreated, and made a fist-opening gesture:
"Come."

"Be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his right foot landed on the ground with a thud, and Li An had already stepped closer to Sanjiangshui and poked him in the chest with his elbow!

The attack was quick... No pretense, just clean movements, a quick step followed by a kick, the tip of the elbow was less than three inches away from his chest. Sanjiangshui had no choice but to change his step and twist his body, and his elbow stopped just as it brushed his chest.

"The steps are the root of the body, the source of strength, the hub of luck, and the opportunity for change. Pay more attention to my steps, you can predict my attack intentions and movement paths!"

Lee An said as he retracted his elbow.

"Come again!"

He stepped forward with his right foot, twisted his waist and turned sideways, then turned and shot his elbow at Sanjiangshui's neck like a sword.

Sanjiangshui reacted very quickly and raised his elbow to block. The moment the two elbows touched, he felt Li Ang's strength releasing and retracting.

Realizing that something was wrong, he pushed back with his front feet, but it was too late.

Li Ang grabbed his shoulder with his right hand like an iron hook, stepped his feet forward and backward, kicked the beam under his feet, and threw him to the ground with a bang.

"Senior brother."

Li An reached out and pulled up the water from Sanjiang River.

"That's enough for today. I'm tired after practicing boxing for so long."

Sanjiangshui was still immersed in the competition between the two men just now. It took him a while to come back to his senses and brushed the dust off his butt.

"I feel like your fighting style is completely different from the traditional fighting style?"

He hesitated.

"I practiced a variety of boxing styles, including Baji, Mo family, Bagua, grappling, and wrestling... So I simply abandoned the complicated footwork and routines of boxing and focused on basic footwork. Mo family boxing has powerful leg techniques, so I integrated the power of Mo family boxing's leg techniques. Baji's short-range fighting is fierce, so I took its short-range fighting advantage. I integrated the strengths of various boxing styles, not sticking to traditional fighting styles, and emphasizing adaptability, directness, and practicality."

Ang Lee roughly explained his playing style.

"Isn't that a school of its own?"

"You can say that." Li An thought for a moment before answering.

"Establishing a new school? Why don't you just be the owner of this school?" Sanjiangshui said jokingly.

Li An shook his head and said, "Forget it, I don't have that intention."

Thanks to the panel, he learned a lot, saving others decades of hard training, and this fighting method was also derived from the boxing he learned.

Boxing, palm, kicking, grappling, wrestling, hard qigong, others want to learn everything, but I am afraid they don't have the energy and time, and they may not be able to learn it thoroughly. So strictly speaking, it is only suitable for him now. If he wants to establish a school and promote it, he must go through systematic organization and simplification. But he is not a pure martial artist, and he has no intention of doing so for the time being.

"By the way, Senior Brother, you have been upstairs for so long, is there anyone teaching the students downstairs? They have just started learning boxing, and it is easy to hurt themselves if they practice incorrectly."

"I was busy talking to Zhaodi about you... No, I forgot about it because I saw you practicing boxing. Well, I'll go down first."

Halfway through his words, Sanjiangshui noticed Lin Zhaodi's look, quickly changed the subject, turned around and left.

The only two left were Li An and Lin Zhaodi.

Li An looked at Lin Zhaodi who was looking at him quietly, and touched his nose: "Senior sister, the clinic is closed so early?"

"Have you been avoiding me recently?" Lin Zhaodi said quietly.

"Busy. You are my senior sister, why would I hide from you?"

Li An smiled awkwardly.

In fact, as early as half a year ago, Sanjiangshui had reminded him that if he fell in love with other women, he should not mess with Lin Zhaodi. Li An just treated it as a joke and never took it to heart.

It was not until the last time Sanjiangshui got married that Huaman said to him meaningfully after meeting Lin Zhaodi: "Senior sister is very enthusiastic!" This made him wake up. For a period of time afterwards, the two practiced boxing together every day, and he gradually realized that Lin Zhaodi's feelings for him seemed to really exceed the boundaries between senior sister and disciple.

It's not his fault that he is slow, after all, Ang Lee has never thought about it in this direction.

But now he suddenly realized that his senior sister, who had always been dignified, actually had feelings for him. His change of mindset caught him off guard for a moment, and he hadn't figured out how to face their relationship, so he deliberately avoided her.

"Almost all the famous martial arts schools in Hong Kong and Kowloon are now full of visitors, so you can take a break. How about I treat you to a movie at the cinema after the clinic closes?"

After Lin Zhaodi said this, her ears turned a little red.

"This one……"

"No time? Or don't you like watching movies?" Lin Zhaodi asked softly.

The two looked at each other, and seeing that Lin Zhaodi looked a little disappointed, Li An suddenly recalled every detail of their boxing practice, and agreed for some reason.

"...Okay, let's go together tonight."

"Then it's settled."

Lin Zhaodi's ears became redder and she didn't look into Li Ang's eyes.

.........

.........

Li An had dinner at the martial arts hall. As soon as Yixiantian left the table, Lin Zhaodi put down her bowl and chopsticks:

"Aan, I'm going to the clinic to clean up and I'll be here soon."

Li An raised his head: "Okay."

Looking at Lin Zhaodi leaving with brisk steps, Sanjiangshui seemed to be thinking about something.

"Brother, sister-in-law, take your time eating." Li An put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up.

"Yeah." Li Chunmei responded.

Sanjiangshui opened his mouth and wanted to ask what Li An and Zhaodi had talked about upstairs before, but the words could not come out.

It was not until Li An left the back hall that Li Chunmei asked Sanjiangshui, "Does Zhaodi like Li An?"

"Yes."

"That Huaman..."

"Just look at them themselves, and we won't worry about it."

One is a younger junior sister and the other is a younger junior brother. Matters of the heart are hard to explain, and it’s not appropriate for him, as a senior brother, to get involved.

Lin Zhaodi once said that liking someone is not illegal.

Indeed, there is no law in Hong Kong that prohibits you from liking someone. On the contrary, it is common to see men having several wives nowadays.

He sighed in his heart. Li An and Zhao Di were both adults. He could not restrict their thoughts and could only respect their choices.

"Brother Shui."

Hou Shijie, who was standing at the door, shouted and walked over with a smile, holding some tea and cakes in his hands.

"Why are you here today? Have you eaten?"

Sanjiangshui stood up and greeted him.

"I've finished eating Shui Ge. Wu Shihao and I came here together. He wanted to talk to Li An about something, so I came over to take a look."

Hou Shijie pulled out a chair and sat down, placing the dragon beard candy wrapped in chicken parchment paper in front of Yaya.

"this is for you."

"Thank you uncle."

The little girl's eyes curved into crescents.
