Crazy Nezha

On the lawn in front of the No. 3 inpatient building in the East District.

Niu Baoguo, holding a white training uniform in both hands, said reverently, "Please try it on, Master."

Li Tianbao took off his hospital gown and changed into this newly bought white training suit, which was loose and comfortable.

"Master Niu, I'm going to fight in Wulin Feng next week."

"Oh? What program did you sign up for?"

Mixed martial arts.

Niu Baoguo exclaimed in shock: "No way! Mixed martial arts are all real! I was fooled by them back then!"

Li Tianbao asked, "Is Tai Chi really unsuitable for fighting?"

Niu Baoguo sighed, an indescribable longing flashing in his eyes, "I hope I can play." Then, his expression darkened, a weariness of a faith that had been shattered.

"I've been practicing Tai Chi since I was a child. My master taught us to listen to the opponent's force and neutralize their force. He said that if you go with the opponent's force, even a small amount of strength can overturn a big guy."

"When I was young, I really thought Tai Chi was effective, and I even did some acts of bravery at the train station! I think what my master said was true, and Tai Chi is the best form of martial arts."

"But now that I think about it, I've never actually sparred with a real professional fighter in my life. My fellow students and I only practiced push hands. I always thought I was good enough, until that day when they tricked me into the boxing ring."

Li Tianbao asked curiously, "What are 'listening to the opponent's force' and 'neutralizing their force'?"

Niu Baoguo: "Have you ever heard of the martial arts contest between Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan?"

Li Tianbao: "No."

Niu Baoguo: "I heard it from my master. Back then, Dong Haichuan was the head instructor of the Prince's Palace. Tai Chi master Yang Luchan came to challenge him to a duel."

Li Tianbao asked, "Does Dong Haichuan also practice Tai Chi?"

Niu Baoguo: "Dong Haichuan was a master of Baguazhang, while Yang Luchan practiced Tai Chi. He was invincible in Beijing at the time, earning him the nickname 'Invincible Yang'!"

"Master, please continue, who won?"

Niu Baoguo: "At that time, it was a closed-door competition. They were both already famous, and the whole of Beijing was watching the outcome, which was not a good look."

Li Tianbao quipped, "Are you saying we're not comparing martial arts skills, but rather our ideas??"

Niu Baoguo smiled and said, "Not at all. In the courtyard, Dong Haichuan saw sparrows rising and falling, so he leaped through the air and caught them with his bare hands. He asked Yang Luchan if he could do that."

Niu Baoguo: "Yang Luchan put a sparrow in his palm, and no matter how much the sparrow flapped its wings, it couldn't fly."

Li Tianbao: "He pinched the sparrow's leg between his fingers??"

Niu Baoguo laughed heartily, "No, no, Yang Luchan could sense every kick of the sparrow with his palm, that's called 'listening to the force'! He could instantly neutralize the force of the sparrow's kick, that's called 'dissolving force'!"

Li Tianbao nodded, seemingly understanding something, and sat cross-legged on the ground in deep thought.

"Master Niu, do you believe it?"

"I used to believe, but I don't anymore." Niu Baoguo smiled helplessly, lay down on the grass, crossed his hands behind his head, and stared blankly at the sky.

Li Tianbao tilted his head and called out, "Dazhuang, do you believe me?"

Han Dazhuang, who had been listening in the background, nodded: "I didn't believe it before, but I do now!"

"Why?" Li Tianbao asked, puzzled.

Han Dazhuang said, "That time you jumped up by stepping on my knees, your feet landing upside down on the ceiling! You slapped me so hard I was dizzy, and that's when I started to believe that martial arts existed in this world!"

Li Tianbao: "..."

Han Dazhuang took out a bag of biscuits and shared them with the people next to him.

Li Tianbao plucked a blade of grass, put it in his mouth, and pondered deeply, trying to understand the moves he made when he fought the drug lord. They were all instinctive and without any method.

Cultivation requires a combination of movement and stillness. The stillness aspect is only a matter of time; nurturing one's spiritual power day after day is sufficient. However, the movement aspect should not be like wild, uncontrolled punches.

At this moment, Sun Baoqiang ran wildly, shouting as he ran, "Brother Tianbao, someone's surrounding your sheep, I don't know what they want!"

"Brother Tianbao!"

Li Tianbao was stunned, and sprang up from the grass. "What did you say?"

"There was a guy named Ma Hongwei, I think he was from Building 4. He and several others surrounded your sheep behind the cafeteria. There was also an old black guy there."

Li Tianbao's expression changed drastically, and he hurried away, striding forward!

Han Dazhuang said, "Ma Hongwei has a strange habit; he likes to pluck the fur off animals."

Li Tianbao suddenly accelerated and rushed forward like a madman.

Han Dazhuang shouted, "Everyone who's alright, come with me to take a look!"

The scattered patients on the lawn followed, and more and more people arrived, with dozens of people from Building 3 making their way towards the main cafeteria.

Li Tianbao turned around: "What are you doing here?"

At the corner behind the main canteen, a black goat was running wildly, its mouth full of blood.

"Third Master! Save me!" Leopard Head somehow escaped the clutches of the demon, bleating as he ran.

Li Tianbao squatted down, hugged the sheep's head, and found that the leopard's head had a mouthful of blood.

He asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Leopard Head spat out several mouthfuls of bloody foam. "I've caused trouble."

Around the corner, several people were carrying a black man and rushing toward the emergency room. The black man's crotch was covered in blood.

Ma Hongwei stopped in his tracks, his face filled with terror, and turned to shout, "Li Tianbao! Are you raising sheep or dogs?!"

Li Tianbao stood up, turned his head to look, and saw a long strip of black meat on the ground not far away.

"What is that?"

Leopard Head: "That black guy's, I bit it off."

Li Tianbao's face stiffened.

Leopard Head gave a brief account of what had happened.

Li Tianbao: "Leopard Head, you've really gotten yourself into trouble! What are we going to do? I'm afraid someone might die this time."

This isn't just skin, it's a whole chunk of flesh!!

Leopard Head asked, "Was my action self-defense?"

Li Tianbao: "Sigh, in this world, animals are weak; what right do they have to talk to humans about the law!"

Leopard Head looked aggrieved: "It's so unfair! Does being weak mean we deserve to be bullied?"

Li Tianbao said, bewildered, "Dong Haichuan and Yang Luchan sparred behind closed doors because they are of equal status and both care about their reputation, unwilling to break off relations! The claim that they caught a sparrow barehanded and the bird wouldn't fly away is their own; only they know whether it's true or not!"

Leopard Head: "Third Prince, what are you saying?"

Li Tianbao ignored him, muttering to himself, "Nezha is a killing god because he's not weak, and he has his master protecting him! Even if he causes a huge mess, he can still reshape his physical body! After it's all over, the elders discuss it behind closed doors; only they know who's right and who's wrong!"

"Under heaven and on earth, in the past and present, nothing has changed! Whoever is strong calls the shots!"

Leopard Head: "Third Prince, have you gone mad?"

Li Tianbao stood up, his eyes resolute, and said, "Leopard Head, you were protecting yourself, you did nothing wrong! I've said it before, no one here can bully you. Don't be afraid. Even if this matter is taken to the Jade Emperor, I will not compromise!"

"But, but, the Jade Emperor wouldn't care about such trivial matters."

Li Tianbao: "He's a foreigner, and he doesn't even spare our country's sheep. I refuse to believe that anyone would actually speak up for him!"

Leopard Head: "Third Prince, if you put it that way, then Ma Hongwei is a traitor, and it was he who instigated him."

……

Dean's Office.

Yang Yongshi slammed his hand on the table and stood up: "What did you say? Say it again!"

Secretary: "The sheep that Li Tianbao got bit Tabo's throat, and he's being rushed to the hospital!"

Dean Yang was stunned for a moment. Tabo was a college student, the chief's son! Although the chief had more than 100 sons.

Why did it bite off that spot?

Secretary: "Aren't you just asking a question you already know the answer to?"

Dean Yang raised his hand, looking puzzled: "What I mean is, why is that sheep so clever, biting right there?"
