Tan Jingyao said somewhat embarrassedly.

After all, his resignation this time caused Ye Tianming some minor trouble.

As a result, Ye Tianming not only didn't blame him, but also invited him to dinner to celebrate.

This made Tan Jingyao's colleague, who was somewhat touched, even more embarrassed.

"It's nothing, just a meal."

As Ye Tianming spoke, he abandoned the idea of ​​going to the gym and simply pulled Tan Jingyao away.

Two grown men don't need to go to a fancy restaurant with a cozy atmosphere.

Ye Tianming took Tan Jingyao directly to a very unique little restaurant.

After booking a small private room, the two ordered some dishes and two cases of beer, and chatted and drank while eating.

Before they knew it, they had finished both cases of beer.

However, neither Ye Tianming nor Tan Jingyao were the type to get drunk after just a few drinks. Even though they each drank a case, Tan Jingyao was only slightly tipsy at most.

Ye Tianming possessed the skill of drinking a thousand cups without getting drunk, so a case of beer was just a drop of water for him.

After drinking it, I wasn't even slightly drunk.

"That's about enough for today."

Ye Tianming said.

Tan Jingyao nodded, glanced at Ye Tianming, thought for a moment, and said, "Ah Ming, are you sure you want to fight me?"

"It's a friendly sparring match!" Ye Tianming corrected. "I remember you said you learned the Twelve-Road Tan Leg technique, right? I've learned it too, so let's have a sparring match and see how good our leg techniques are."

Group: 255595300

Upon hearing this, Tan Jingyao stopped trying to persuade him.

He felt it was somewhat inappropriate for Ye Tianming to invite him to dinner to celebrate, only to have him beat him up afterward.

Well, that’s right!

Tan Jingyao never expected that he would lose.

After all, he is the mighty King of the North Leg!

And what about Ye Tianming?

He wasn't even in the martial arts circle.

If Tan Jingyao loses, then he might as well just give up his title of "King of Northern Legs" and hand it over to Ye Tianming!

...

Outside a baseball field.

Ye Tianming stopped the car, and then got out of the car together with Tan Jingyao.

"Let's take this spot; it's spacious enough."

Ye Tianming pointed to the basketball court in front of him and said.

"I also can."

Tan Jingyao nodded. In fact, he didn't have any requirements for the venue for the sparring. After all, in Tan Jingyao's opinion, Ye Tianming should be the kind of martial arts enthusiast. As for why he didn't learn the more mainstream modern martial arts like Taekwondo or Judo, it was probably because Ye Tianming preferred ancient martial arts.

To be honest, although Tan Jingyao himself also studies ancient martial arts, he has to admit that the universality of ancient martial arts is too low!

Simply put, traditional martial arts don't show much progress in the early stages, which can easily cause learners to give up halfway.

Unlike Taekwondo and Judo, which are martial arts introduced from abroad, you can learn them in ten days or half a month and still be able to fight quite well.

Regardless of its actual power, it certainly looks intimidating.

And what about ancient martial arts?

It often takes three to five years, or even more than ten years, to achieve success in cultivation.

Too slow!

therefore;

Tan Jingyao can understand why young people today don't like learning ancient martial arts, which are left by our ancestors, but instead choose to learn foreign fighting techniques.

After all, we live in a society governed by the rule of law.

Young people learn these things purely out of interest, or perhaps to show off in front of girls.

Compared to ancient martial arts that take a long time to develop, these quick-learning fighting techniques are naturally more cost-effective.

To put it bluntly, true ancient martial arts are killing techniques.

It is used to kill the enemy and win!

But in today's society governed by the rule of law, would you say it's murder?

Aren't you afraid of getting arrested and going to jail?

Even the true masters of ancient martial arts no longer make a move, while Tan Jingyao and his generation are basically the backbone of the traditional martial arts circle today.

young people?

Too little!

Tan Jingyao dares not think about it. If society develops for another twenty or thirty years, will no one learn traditional martial arts anymore?

even;

Are these authentic traditional martial arts passed down by word of mouth now destined to be lost?

Some time ago, he heard that the mainland was promoting a more performance-oriented martial arts style, with the slogan being "strengthening the body" rather than "killing enemies and winning battles."

That kind of martial art has deviated from the original nature of traditional martial arts.

More emphasis is placed on aesthetics.

It looks very intimidating.

But when it comes to actually fighting, it's far too flashy and doesn't fit the essence of traditional martial arts killing techniques at all.

Tan Jingyao wondered, if this kind of performance-style martial arts really spread in the future, would people in later generations think that traditional martial arts are like this?

Tan Jingyao couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the thought of that possible scenario.

However, he was just a martial artist who practiced martial arts, and he couldn't change anything.

Moreover;

His ambitions lay elsewhere.

What he's thinking about now is still doing a good job as an artist, which is a promising career.

In the future, I hope my artworks will become regulars at auctions, attracting fierce bidding.

As for the future of the martial arts community?

Let nature take its course.

...

Inside the basketball court.

Ye Tianming took off his coat and put it aside.

"Old Tan, are you ready?"

He assumed a fighting stance and addressed Tan Jingyao opposite him.

"bring it on."

Tan Jingyao put one hand behind his back, took a light half step forward with his right foot, and his gaze became more serious.

next second!

Ye Tianming took a step forward and instantly accelerated to Tan Jingyao's side, then delivered a powerful side kick with his right leg.

"So fast!"

Tan Jingyao was surprised, not expecting Ye Tianming's speed to be so fast, almost as fast as his own.

Unconsciously, Tan Jingyao also put away his slight contempt.

I've become much more serious.

boom!

The two exchanged blows, and then Ye Tianming twisted in mid-air and kicked Tan Jingyao in the face, which Tan Jingyao blocked with his arms and retreated to create distance.

"Good work!"

Tan Jingyao looked pleasantly surprised.

Although they only exchanged two or three moves, an expert's skill is immediately apparent.

In just a few moves, Ye Tianming made Tan Jingyao realize that his opponent was not the martial arts enthusiast he had previously thought, but a real master who was no weaker than himself!

Once he got serious, Tan Jingyao used the Twelve Styles of Tan Legs to fight Ye Tianming.

The two exchanged blows on the basketball court, each move and stance ruthless, showing no intention of holding back despite it being a friendly match.

boom!

In mid-air, Tan Jingyao was kicked in the chest by Ye Tianming and had to stagger back six or seven steps before stopping.

He patted the footprints on his clothes and then frowned in confusion.

"Amin, are you sure this is the Twelfth Style Tan Leg?"

Tan Jingyao was somewhat puzzled, because the Twelve Styles of Tan Leg used by Ye Tianming seemed to differ quite a bit from what he had learned.

You could even say they are two different martial arts.

"This is indeed the Twelve-Road Tan Leg, but it may not be a tradition from one particular family."

Ye Tianming explained.

After thinking about it, Tan Jingyao accepted this explanation.

Just like Tai Chi, which has been passed down to this day, there are many different styles of practice, such as Yang-style Tai Chi, Li-style Tai Chi, and Wang-style Tai Chi, each with its own unique characteristics.
